Fear of New War Grows"
At the meeting of the U.N.
Security Council in Paris, repre-
sentatives of all the great pow
ers spoke as advocates of peace.
Everyone wanted peace, judging
from the speeches-but the war
danger grew.
Speaking in behalf of the So
Wet Union, Andrei Vishinsky
said:
Millions of common people,
who paid with their blood for
the crimes of the fascist meters
and organizers of the recently
ended war, cannot allow the
repetition of new war, which
will bring in its wake severe
calamities and hardshipS for all
mankind"
He urged an arms slash of
one-third within the next year.
Was Vishinsky sincere? Brit
ish Foreign Secretary Ernest
Bevin didn't think so, but his
cabinet colleague, War Minister
Emanuel ShinwelI, said that he
was.
Sober citizens would judge,
not by Vishinsky's words
pheasant though they might
sound), but by known facts.
One of the most important of
these facts came to light in a
dispatch to the Chicago Sun
Times from its Paris correspond
ent, Andre Visson. Wrote Wis
son:
Intelligence ports from
back of the Iron Curtain indi-
cate not the slightest prepare
tons for war in Soviet Russia
or her satellites.
Last February, it was re
called, the U.S.SR. had de
modified all of her wartime
army except the 81 and %
year-old classes. The number of
troops remaining in her army is
not known definitely, but it can
not be very large, considering
the tremendous land area which
Russia must guard The Soviet
Union covers more than one
sixth of the surface of the globe.

"A PRIMARY objective of all

The passage of this act by the

The leadership of both the Repub-

clearly demonstrated that in prac-

anti labor legislation.

WITH this law, Congress made
the government an agent of
monopoly to be used to smash
trade union rights. The final OBJ
jective is the complete deStruc-

ment. Already it has put trade
unions on the defensive and made
it difficult for them to fight to
maintain wages. In any depres-
sion period it will be a truly
great wage-cutting instrument.
The law has also weakened the
ability of unions to fight one of the
workers major battles today-the
battle against the speed-up. Ac-
tually it has stimulated the intro
duction of ever more ruthless
methods of speedup.

corporate wealth carries an omi-
nous threat to- the future welfare
of our country. Big money will
become an ever more powerful
weapon in the hands of big bust
ness. Along with the Taft-Hartley
law, corporate wealth will be used
to fight trade unions and under
mine living standards.
In depression days .ahead those
who are profiting from initiation
will be able to sit down on their
money bags, while the people are
starving and are subjected to more
and more attempts at complete
economic and political domination
by big business.
The way to halt the initiation
spiral is to strike at its source:
profiteerins..
When initiation ceases to be
profitable, the American people
will be able to breathe easy again.
1T IS an election necessity for
the, Democrats and the, Republi-
cans to do good deal of talking
against inflation-like sin, they
are against it. But they take no
real steps to fight it. To the con-
trary, they encourage it. They
make gestures, but they are equal
ly futile gestures. They refuse TO
tackle profiteering.
The first step in meeting the in
flation crisis is to give substantial
wage increases TO the workers.
These increases could easily come
out of exorbitant corporation
profits without raising prices.
The big business propaganda
that wage increases are infla-
tionary and cause price increases
does not fool the workers. They
know there is absolutely no justi-
fication to the charge that wage
increases must be followed by
further price increases. e..-,
TODAY we see price increases
taking place even before the
workers in the major industries
have entered into negotiations for
higher wages.
1t is not wage increases or the
lack of them which have governed
price advances since the removal
of controls.
The volume of profits today is
SO large that a substantial wage
increase could be paid and prices
could be cut and still leave cor
porste profits both before and
after taxes at level very much
higher than before the war.
The fight for a substantial wage
increase is one battle in the over
all campaign to strike at the
source of initiation by curbing

trolls but made no real fight
against Republican pressure TO
end them. In the fall of 1916 he
removed the remaining controls.
Since then he has stated that he
considers such controls the meas
ures of police state, although
popular indignation has forced
him to renew his lip service to
protecting the people.
He has asked Congress for
power to impose what he calls
"selective" controls. But the Ad-'
ministration bill is farce. 1t
would be no more effective than
the impossible Republican meas
ures. The heart of the Administra-
ton proposal is a wage freeze. 4
WALL STREETS third main
attack in the drive to protect and
increase its super-profits was to
undermine the collective bargain
ing defenses of American workers.
The Congress responded to this
big business demand by enacting
the Hartley law.
1t was the inevitable product of
President Truman's demands TO
both the 7sth Congress and the
Goth Congress for anti-labor legis-
lafion.
