Comment On
World Events

The annual report of David A.
Morse, director-general of the In
ternational Labor Office, on world
economic and labor conditions
might be described as cautiously
optimistic. He finds that while ex-
lpectations concerning postwar re-
covery have more often than not
failed of fulfillment, the record of
employment and production gains
has been an impressive achieve
ment.
There were signs last year, how
ever, that recession might be in
prospect, he says and sounds a
warning of possible econom m C
trouble to come.
already" he points out, "in
some countries-notably in Bel
guim, Canada, Denmark, Finland,
France, Ireland, Sweden, Switzer-
land and the United States-there
is evidence suggesting that turn
ling point may have been reached.
There have been sharp breaks in
the prices of certain commodities,
with some reflection in cost-of-
living indexes, and unemployment
has risen to a greater extent than
can be accounted for by purely sea-
sonal factors"
Morse's report will be debated
at the 32nd annual conference of
the international Labor Organiza-
tion which opened in Geneva June
e. In it he warned that the degree
and rapidity of postwar recovery
will depend on the permanence of
political settlements between the
major powers, the course Of world
inflationary pressures, and the
adequacy of measures taken to
arrest the downward spiral of
prices and employment as these
pressures subside.
Increasing attention is being
given by governments to the mea
sures which will have to be taken
if a threat of serious depression
should develop, he notes. He adds
that the framing of these plans
has become lone of the most i'm
mediate tasks of economic states
manship."
This task, he declares, will test
"the effectiveness of both of the
newer techniques of economic plan
ming and control which are being
developed in many countries and of
the network of international insti-
tutions which have been built up
since the war"
Morse strongly emphasizes the
necessity for a solution of pro-
blems in the fields of mobilization
and redistribution of manpower to
fill national needs.
National and international ac-
ton to achieve fuller and better
use of manpower must match the
of today'S needs and
meet the difficulties which must
be overcome" he urges, "other-
wise the world will lose an unpre-
cedented chance for economic re-
covery and development. The task
of solving manpower problems will
have to be given the priority it de-
serves in the years to come"
Discussing developments in SOC
ial policy in non-metropolitan ter
Morse recalled the recent
report of Belgian Senatorial
to Belgian territories in
and the report of the mis-
sion Of the United Nations Trus-
teeship Council to the Trust Ter
of Ruandi- -Urundi and
Tanganyika.
These reports, he suggests, could
be described as experimenting"
because they publicly reported
that the payment of excessively
low wages to African workers was
not merely unjust but was also un-
economic"

do so.

Program To

Plans for a thorough canvass
of the WHY'S Overland plant in
the organizational campaign Of
the Toledo Consumers Coopera-
tive were outlined by Charles
Ballard, Director of Region 2-B
last Friday at a joint meeting of
shop stewards and Willys flying
squadron members, it was an
nounced by Homer Avery, unit
chairman and board member of
the Coop.
Dividends From Coop
Ballard told of the dividend
checks the Detroit unit had al
ready received from their Coop
investments, saying, 81 have
seen them with my own eyes"
He recently attended a dinner
meeting of Detroit West Side
local union leaders and Detroit
Coop officers, and passed along
to the WHY'S leaders the infor-
nation which they in turn could
explain to their membership.
This Coop is succeeding
wherever it has been started,
and the Michigan people are
looking toward Toledo with
anxious eyes," he declared, "and
I know we're going to put our

any of the others, judging from
what took place at the Toledo

were laid, and an interesting ex-

there by providing them with
free land, cheap power and as
an additional inducement, To-
year tax free preiod of operation.
In addition to low wages, the
workers are compelled to live in
company owned homes, shop in
company stores, send their chill
dren to company controlled
schools and even have to worship
in company subsidized churches.
That is true picture of the
strangle-hold the corporations
have on their employees and city
and state officials, Mr.. DeLong
explained.
Example Cited
Citing an example of how Sc
we're the opposition to the organ
national drive is on the part of
employers and public officials,
Mr.. DeLong pointed out an in
stance where an NLRB election
was held on the sidewalks of one
Georgia town, because the own
er of a building rented for the
election, under pressure of poll
ticians and plant owners, board
ed up the place and refused to
allow NLRB officials to hold an
election there-thus openly dis
regarding existing federal laws.
So in order to combat those
conditions heads of the Interna-
tional set up an international Of
flee in Georgia in addition to the
one in New York city. The top
officers spend half of their time
in Georgia because of the hos
tility to unions and union Off
cials, Mr.. DeLong said.
Local Situation
Getting back to the Toledo
situation, Mr.. DeLong said that
his units, in the belief that you
can't successfully conduct po-
litical campaign within 30 days
of an election, are planning a
year-round PAC campaign. They
\ have set up an educational pro-
gram for the membership
teaching the meaning of true un-
ionism as well as parliamentary
procedure.
The Locals maintain files of
registered voters and as soon as
a new member Is accepted, the
officers make certain that the
member is a registered voter,
Each member pays 81 dues OF
which 81 goes to the Internation-
al In addition to the 81 PAC
membership.
Under the Joint Board by
laws the executive board is COM
posed of the unit chairmen. They
are William Wagner, 224; Hugh
Sharp, 226; Mary Dilbone, 225;
Vale Rosendaul, 377; Julia Wag-
ner, 500; Ann Krucnich, 502;
Earl Kirkendall, 981, and Mike
Kusczynski, 226-A.
The Toledo Joint Board has
recently moved its headquarters
to 1874 Summit street and occu-
pies the entire two floors of the
building. An extensive remodel
ing program has been completed
and open house for members
and friends will be held soon.
