American Federation of Labor is
organizing a political league to de-
feat the enemies of organized labor

sponsibilities of union leadership
now are political as well as eco
nomic. Union leaders have a real re-
sponsibility of:
Leading the workers to the bal
lot box to fight for political demo
cracy as we'll as leading them on
the picket lines to fight for indus
trial democracy.
Political Stand Held Test
"Henceforth, the extent of the
sincerity and responsibility of a
union leaders professed loyalty
and devotion to the principles of
free trade unionism should be
judged by his political activities.
"In my judgment, union lead
er who cannot reconcile his person
al political principles to the politi-
cal interests of organized workers
should give up his union office. We
have not sought, nor do we seek,
to interfere with the private views
and principles of member, but the
union officers must place the in
terests of his members above his
private views.
"That sounds harsh, / know, to
those of US who have been raised
in our country of political free
dom. But we must realize one very
important fact: Organized labor
now is fighting for its freedom
perhaps it will have to fight for its
very life before long.
"The time has come when we
must stand up and be counted.
Which side are we on? If we are
neither hot nor cold, we willard
should-be rejected by the COM
mon sense of our members.
"Must Fight Politically"
"Workers who, when taking
union office, pledge to fight for the
principles of trade unionism and
to protect the welfare of union
members must now fight political
ly if they are to keep that pledge
of office. If their own political con-
victions do not permit them to fight
the political enemies of free trade
they owe it to themselves
and to the union to leave their
union offices"

The 100000 Jews who survived
the Nazi slaughter also have dis
covered that liberation is not
enough. Like the Jews of ancient
Egypt, most of them are wander

Three years after the end of the
war, 250,200 Jewish DPS are still
waiting for deliverance from the
swamp of indecision and inactivity.
Three years after the end of the

poverty; three years after the end
of the war, the 100000 Jews of
Palestine are engaged in a life and

as people and as nation.
The United Jewish Appeal is the
answer of American Jewry to the
unprecedented need of European
Jewry and to the requirements of
the present Jewish state. To meet
these needs the UJA has under
taken campaign unparalleled in
the history of voluntary welfare
agencies in the United States.

Record Year For
Norway canneries

OSLO-Figures recently released
by the Norwegian National Can
ming Association show that 1947
was a record year for canned
goods exports, with sales abroad
totalling nearly 100 million kroner.
The secretary for that organiza-
ton further noted that Norway
has not only rewon pre-war GUS
toners but has succeeded in maxi
ing it's products available on a
number of new markets.
Regarding Norwegian canned
fish shipments to America, refer
ence was made to the unfortunate
publicity surrounding severa
cases of food poisoning in the New
York area in early 1947 which
were allegedly traced to Nor
wegian sardines. Here the secre-
tary reaffirmed that official in
vestigation had cleared the Nor
wegians of all blame for these
instances.
The official health journal of
New York City has printed full
report of the investigation and the
results completely absolve the
Norwegian sardines and the can
ming industry.

Fiinlandia
Editorial in The Christian
Science Monitor)

In 1920 Finland gave the I'm
tied States note for $8,281 ,926.17
worth of relief supplies. To date
it has paid back SO per cent of
that debt, but the accumulation of
interest still leaves it owing more
than $S,OOO,OOO. It's unique record
in never defaulting, despite United
States policies which made repay
ment peculiarly difficult, stands
shingly above the unhappy ex-
igencies of it's wartime position.
The recommendation of eleven
Senators that all further pay
ments on it's debt be set aside to
pay for educating Finnish youth
in the United States deserves the
highest praise. The plan has a
precedent in the similar turning
over of the Boxer indemnity to
China for educational purposes. 1t
is the sort of action that encour-
ages faith that we live in a civil
lied world after all.
Only recently the acting head
of the State Departments Divi-
sion of International Exchange
stressed the need for more dollars
to be made available to bring Eu-
ropean students to the United
States. He emphasized that many
who are eager to come are going
instead to the Soviet Union, which
is granting large numbers of
awards and scholarships. BY TAX
ing proper action, the United
States could help train the techni-
clans Europe so badly needs for
reconstruction and at the same
time win the friends democracy
so badly needs for worldwide CO.
operation.
Friendship, like the Finnish
debt, builds up accumulated inter-
est even as it is repaid.
