Dubinsky, Reuther
See Closer Ties
In Labor Ranks

Paris (LPA)-Walter p. Reuth-
er, president of the United Auto
Workers-CIO and David Dubinsky,
president of the Int'l Ladies Gar
ment Workers-AFL, both indicat-
ed to reporters here that a greater
degree of CIO-AFL collaboration
may be forthcoming.
Dubinsky said the CLOS drive to
clear out its few remaining Com
munists plus CIO-AFL cooperation
at the recent London conference
creating the Int'l Confederation Of
Free Trade Unions "clears the way
for organic unity of the two organ
izations." Reuther said that sue
cessful joint operations in London
were a basis for predicting greater
cooperation at home.
Reuther urged free European
unions to fight the Communists at
the "bread and butter level" He
said the way to do it was to show
European workers that free unions
could do more for them than the
Communists could.
He also condemned as "intoler-
able" control of French wages in
the absence of price control, and
suggested the French unions find a
political party that would work in
their interest.
Reuther vigorously endorsed the
Marshall Plan, but said he would
like to drill some holes" so the
aid could "trickle down" to the
European people.

CNH Appeals For
Aid To Fight ANA

Washington (LPA)-The Com
mittee for the Nations Health,
which has been spearheading the
fight for President Truman's health
insurance program, appealed to the
public for financial help to combat
the new $3,000,000 propaganda
fund voted by the American Medi-
cal Association.
DR.. Claiming rockingham,
chairman of the CNH, appealed
particularly to members of labor
and liberal groups to contribute to
carry on the fight for the Pres
ident's program. This is the first
public appeal for funds ever issued
by the committee, which has been
financed in the past by private con-
tributions.
ave don't need millions of dol
lars" DR.. rockingham said, ito
tell the need of national health
insurance. We have the truth on
our side. And we have found it a
powerful slingshot against this
Goliath. But we do need our modest
operating fund. A penny for a dol
lar-one percent of what the ANA
is spending-will enable US to tell
America the truth about National
Health Insurance"

-. By ALEXANDER S. LIPSETT Can ILNS Feature)

Secretary of Commerce Charles
Sawyer chose last week to come
forward with a new definition of
liberalism, designed to do away
with our economic ills and make
everybody happy. That is perhaps
as should be at season tradition
ally devoted to cheer and good will
to mankind. But if the past is a
guide to the future, Mr.. Sawyer's
new liberalism may prove the fore
runner of new and rather startling
things to come.
The secretary, speaking to a
gathering of socalled public rela-
tions experts, outlined the prin-
ciples of his "new liberalism" +"
which he said would guide the des-
tiny of America for the next half
century and lift the American peo-
pie to unheard-of heights of pros
perity. Pointing out that applica-
tion of the "only really radical idea
in the world today--the American
idea of accepting a relatively mod
est profit in order to sell more
goods to more people" had resulted
in an income raise of percent per
year over the past so years, he pre-
dicted for the year 1000 national
income of one trillion dollars-5
times the present annual income of
5000 billion.
Few will quarrel with Mr.. Saw
yer's efforts to play Santa Claus
and make the people, for time at
least, forgetful of the harsh and
troublesome realities of today. Nor
is anything wong with his con-
of "socalled liberals"
and their economic pet theories,
or his plea for "just and equit-
able" division of the nations riches
the elements that make up
our society.
But beyond these limits this OBJ
server is forced to conclusions that
perhaps sound suspicious and un-
warranted. If so, they must be
weighed not for what they seem
but what they are worth.
First, political realities, centered
around the elections of 1850, make
it advisable for the administration
to replace the Worn-out slogans of
the New Deal and Fair Deal with
more glittering and fas-
cinating to the jaded eyes of a
people nurtured on the pap Of 16,
years economic promises and bur-
hocus- -pocus. econd,
while the new liberalism represent
ng "a balanced economic and Soc
al system" is likely to strongly ap-
peal to the voters, nothing is said
about its costs. Third, the secre-
,ary's defense of a balanced state
as a middle ground which is best
for all" may serve as a sop to
hose who are fearful of the grow
ng powers of the state and would
ike nothing better than assurance
% the contrary.
