By Richard Gosser
Vice-President
International UAW-CIO

This message is intended for all those who
are interested in the welfare of our children.
Last summer, at great cost to the union we
purchased, developed and operated an outStand.
ing summer camp at Sand Lake. Mich. for the
children of Toledo.
During our first year, we had about 400 boW
and girls at the camp and made a good begin
ming in what we hoped then, as we hope now
will be one of the greatest camps of its kind iH
the United States.
Operating a camp requires large sums OF
money Last year, the purchase of the camp,
building cabins and other camp facilities, pur-
chase of rowboats, canoes, athletic equipment
of all kinds and other necessary materials cost
the union goodly sum of money.
This year, it is our intention to increase the
camps facilities in order to provide recreation
opportunities for 125 boys and girls. This
means an additional outlay of money both for
buildings and additional equipment and people
to handle the camp and the children, as well
as to provide food and other required materials
OUR APPEAL
1 am taking this opportunity to appeal to
every member of our union, to our friends, to
business and civic leaders and all others who
are interested in the work being done by
camp to aid us financially in this important
venture.
There is nothing of greater importance to
all of us than the welfare ana future or our
children. Our community and our nation will
benefit from the children of today, depending
upon what we do to shape their lives and bring
to them a realization of their responsibility.
1t is my belief that our summer camp
has earned and deserves the support of every
member of the union and of all public spirited
citizens who recognize that our work among the
children is being done in the spirit of contrib
uting to the welfare of the whole community
and not as an exclusive union project
When you are contacted by one of the peo-
pie who are soliciting funds, give them a few
minutes of your time, ask them any questions
you may wish to ask about the camp and then
give as your means will permit. You will be
doing the entire community a good service in
providing children with an opportunity that
will pay future dividends.

Economics Of
Depression
BY M. HI. HEDGES
LPA COlulnniSt

The flurries on the grain exchange brought
SOLDERING reflections to the minds of millions.
"Was this it?" SIS it 1929 all over again?" is
this the fatal day?" were on the lips of those
who waited with fear.
The downward movement appears to be
only tremor, not a quake. But the thought
full pause serves to illustrate how near every
one is to the fear-line today, and how everyone
lives in restless uncertainty. Whatever the
blessings of free enterprise are, complacency
does not seem to be one of them.
Not even the experts seem to know what
happened on the grain exchanges or what is
going to happen
There is the open market school who be-
lieve as long as there is sharp demand, pro-
sperity will hold out. And there is the inter-
national school who believe as long as ex-
ports hold out, (witness the new shot-in-the-
arm technique under the Marshall Plan) pro-
Sperty will smile on America. Then there Is
the dollar in the-p -enveope school who con-
tend that as long as purchasing power remains
high enough, nothing break the golden
dream of go-getting America.
OPINIONS
Market theorist; "It really has been favor
able market, you know. An almost unlimited
market, due to delayed supply, and after-the-
war pent-up need.
Purchasing Power theorist: 'Yeah But
WnaL gOOu are goods on Jne market III lleIS
is no money to buy them"
Market theorist: But there is money. AS
long as goods are produced for the market,
there is money in the pay envelope"
Purchasing Power theorist: But not enough
necessarily There must be just the right rela-
tion between purchasing power and produc-
ton, and it is that nice relation which is being
destroyed. Prices are too high"
Market theorist: "Why don't we bust,
them"
Purchasing Power theorist: "We don't bust
because people are using their savings to meet
current expenses. When savings are gone, then
look out"
So the debate goes on. But the purchasing
power man is right. People are using their
savings to buy consumer goods Incomes have
risen rapidly, mostly in the upper bracket,
savings have fallen off, mostly in the lower
bracket-there, in nutshell, is the explana
tion of the present situation.
There was time in America when busi-
ness men themselves were advocates of high
Wages-at least leaders in the automobile in
dustry were Now, for some reason, they are
piping down. The truth is, they are undermin-
ing their own markets
Many modern economists believe so much
in the purchasing power theory that they have
erected whole structure of new economics
They believe in the orderly, systematic SUBJ
sidization of consumers.
At any rate, watch the barometer of pur-
chasing power. If purchasing power holds up,
there will be no real slump.

Summer Comp Funds

When Local IL opened its Sand Lake
Summer Camp last year, il was praised
for its vision and accomplishment by union
members, civic and business leaders and
the community in general.
Everybody said and truly too, that the
Local IL camp was the greatest accom-
plishment in its long list of accomplish
mentS. 1t was an acknowledged success
in TIE union, in the community, with the
members of the union and with the chill
dren who enjoyed the camps facilities.
Unfortunately, summer camps for boys
and girls cannot exist on praise alone.
Neither can the Local IL Summer Camp.
Large sums of money are required 10 en-
large and maintain the camps facilities,
purchase food, employ trained personnel
and to provide many other necessities
needed for the type of work done by the
camp.
Ambitious plans have been completed
for providing nearly three times as many
boys and girls with the opportunities af-
forded by the Sand Lake camp, but, to ac-
complish this will require a vast sum of
money. In fact, the expansion program
will require more money than the union
can afford to spend without aid of those
who are interested in the welfare of the
boys and girls who will benefit from the
project.
Your help is solicited to make the ev-
pansiOn program reality. Your children,
or the children of your fellow members
will benefit. Your donation, large or small
will be a contribution to the welfare of
the children, to the welfare of your COM
munity and to building better citizens for
tomorrow.

Unity And Civil Rights

in the shape of the revolt of the southern
governors against President Trman's civil
rights legislative program, the Democratic
marty appears to be sadly divided as 1t
comes into the crucial 194S elections.
There seems to be some question about
the quality of the political advice which
has been given to the President which
caused him to bring the civil rights issue
IN the fore at a time when party unity
seems to be greatly desired. Yet, in the
face of the findings of the Presidents COM
mittee on civil rights, it appears that not
to have raised the issue would have been
equally unwse.
Actually, what the President is pro-
nosing in the way of civil rights legisla-
ton is nothing more or less than a
STRENGTHENING of what has already been
provided by our Constitution. 1t is this
that the southern governors wish to pre-
vent, because the South has never recOg-
nized nor abided by the constitutional
guarantees of civil rights as they apply to
minority groups.
No doubt, the fight in the Democratic
party will be sharp and possibly even dis
astrous for the party in an important pO-
Iitical year. At the same time, we must
recognize that the leadership which we
are attempting to exercise in the world
must have the solid backing of nation
which practices what it breaches.
If we preach democracy to the other
nations, we must practice 1t ourselves.
How can we expect to establish in other
countries something which we have failed
to accomplish?
If we could not exist half slave and
half free, neither can we have any real
national unity when a large segment of
the country denies the provisions of the
Constitution to people whose skin pigmen-
tation or religious or national extraction
do not coincide with that which is accept
able to the people who control the south
Sooner or later we must meet the prob
lem which has been accentuated by the
Presidents civil rights legislative pro-
gram, and no better time could be found
than the present when the nation is at
tempting to stem the tide which has been
sweeping Europe and which is the COM
plete antithesis of everything which we
as Americans hold dear.
And even though the President might
be forced to fight losing battle, even
though the nation should end i'm the hands
of the reactiOnaries who see in the pres
ent division of the Democratic Party an
opportunity to win the day, it is better to
fight and lose battle for democracy and
civil rights than il is to lose our spiritual
strength by compromise and surrender to
political expediency.
We applaud the President for his stand
and we congratulate Senator J. Howard
McGrath for his firmness and fOrtitude
in rejecting the OvertureS made by the
southern governors to forget the civil I,
rights legislation as the price of party
unity.

Republican dope sheets reported gleefully
last week that Democratic politicians are ap-

has been throwing away. "a liking for dogs is
second only to fishing as a snare for votes"
they argue, but President Truman in recent
weeks has given away two puppies. These

Washington
Labor Report
by Bradford v. Carter
LPA COlumnist

The dramatlc colldpSe Vi
prices in the commodity and
stock markets has brought in
to sharp focus the precarious-
ness of our economic position.
For several weeks before, the
organized markets were show
ing signs of recalcitrance but
the break in commodity prices
set everybody to thinking.
Whether the thinking is of
a constructive sort is another
matter. Much of the state
ments are of a "whistling in
the dark" character. Business
economists 60 around assur-
ing each other that this is not
the Fall of 1929.
On the whole the tendency
is for business analysts to
look for the silver lining
among the clouds. First, they
say, the price break is exer-
cising a wholesome influence
by bringing commodity prices
closer to where they ought to
be.
But so that the wrong in
ferences will not be drawn
they hasten to add that it
would not be fair to antici-
pate a decline in retail prices.
Why?
Well, the argument runs
that m any manufacturers
had previously made firm
price commitments to their
dealers which did not take in
to sufficient account Subse-
quent price rises. If the most
recent price break had not
taken place the manufacturers
would have been, they say, in
an extremely difficult cost
position. Now they can af-
ford to maintain the prices set
several months ago.
Business analysts find an
other piece of silver lining in
the assumption that this break
will undermine the union de-
mands for substantial third
round of wage increases.
FEAR WHICH
The Administration a t ter
talking eloquently about how
prices must be brought down
is now saying, discreetly to be
sure, that we also have to
worry about deflation.
This much is true, it would
seem. A depression or even
a temporary recession does
not seem likely in the near
future. The Marshall plan ex-
penditureS, alone, constitute a
pretty important bulwark, at
this point, against another
1929 NOW"
Besides there is still enough
effective demand outside of
the Marshall plan to prevent
a major economic disaster.
In short, the problem of de-
vising an effective set of con-
trolls against high prices is
still with us. The comfort
that the price break in the
commodity markets will bring
to the housewife is likely to
be very meager indeed. And
unless we can do more about
reducing prices than merely
talking about it the price re-
cession of the last few weeks
will be a pleasant memory.
The prospect of anything
b e in G accomplished along
these lines is very bleak, it
must be said in all candor.
Mr.. Truman is saying many
wise things about what ought
to be done, but the Admins
tration is far from being as
one on the subject.
The Congress is not doing
anything. AS far as anybody

important one In winch we
are Vitally interested. Here
again is one more good reason
why every worker should be-
long to his political action
groups, the LCPC and PAC,
in order to elect men to office
who are aware of the implica-
tions of the atomic bomb and
swift, rocket borne death.
First reports had it that the
American Federation of Labor
had broken a long tradition,
and had come out for universal
military training. Later this
report was corrected. But this
fact remains that there is a
great deal of unrest, self
searching, and travail going
on, not only in the AFL but
elsewhere, over the age-old
question of peacetime conscrip-
tion of youth.
Perh a ps the conventional
arguments against the measure
no longer hold. These were
ID militarization (2) the
education of youth in nom
democratic ways CD control
of the whole oncoming popula-
ton.
Fear dictates the change
- if there be a change in
public opinion on the question
-abiect fear, fear of Russia;
perhaps the truth is not fear
of Russia, but fear of the kind
of war the next war shall be,
the war destined to destroy
the planet.
The greatest arguments
against unive sal military
training the one with the
greatest barb in it's that the
present proposal for universal
military training does not meet
the situation, not even the
military situation, to wit:
NEXT WAR
1 The next war will not be,
and cannot be, a war of massed
armies. The general staff
which draws up 100000
soldiers, on a hill, is only ar
ranging a perfect target for
the enemy.
z The next war will be
fought by a highly skilled
army, numbering not more
than a million men, of pro-
fessional soldiers, a standing
army. Such an army would be
best recruited from volunteers.
3 Instead of universal mill
tary training, the only sane
proposal would be to organize
an army of 100000 youth
to succor the dead and wound
ed, to build underground
vaults lined with lead, which
would give but frail protec-
tion from radioactive waves,
and bury the suspiring mil
lions.
q To organize small guerilla
bands to repel the air borne
armies of the invader, fol-
lowing devastating to m C
bombardment.
OUTWORN
No, universal military train
ing is an outWorn concept
borrowed from past wars and
not a brand new plan for meet
ing the horrible, fatal war of
the future.
Any measure designed to
meet the realities of atomic
war should be accompanied by
a strong plan for waging
peace. The truth is there is
no defense against atomic and
bacterial warfare the only
real defense is peace.
If we humans were reason
able animals we would now be
engaged in a process of self
analysis to discover why we
fight, why we enjoy blood
letting, and after the diagnosis
of this disease, to seek to cure
m kind of the ancient
malady. Mass murder is
disease from which the whole
world is destined to die at long
last, because science has out
witted itself and made the
weapons that can only lead
to -destruction-universal
suicide.

tions must be fully protected, Cald-
er insisted, and "the nations re-
ceiving economic aid from the U.
S. should not undertake further ma
tionalization programs or initiate
projects which have the effect of
destroying or impairing private
competitive enterprise"
Calder's was the second volley
in the reactionaries' attack upon
the Marshall plan. The load, to no
ones surprise, was taken by Her
bert Hoover, who wants to cut
ERP's first appropriation from
$6.8 billion to $4 billion, with part
of it going to the far east. Hoover
also opposed any "moral commit
ment" to continue the program for
four years.
