FLAWS LARGER PENSIONS

Here is news item that strikes us as
something new:
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, the cOuntry's largest
employer. recently liberalized its non-
contFibutory pension plan to provide a
minimum benefit for workers, upon re-
.iremeut. of 500 a month instead of the
former minimum Of $50 a month.
The unusual feature of the news is
that Joseph A. Beirne, president of a
&. T. o. union, which represents some of
the Bell Workers. complains that the
company has violated the Taft Hartley, Act
by increasing the pension while the issue
is IN collective bargaining. 1t accuses the
company of attempting to undermine the
union and asserts that the myth Of collect
've bargaining has been torn apart and
that action like this promotes strikes.
In word. the company gives to its
employees minimum benefits in line with
those provided under the Bethlehem Steel
''formula" which was the result of strike.
Because IL took this step before Mr.. Beirne
and his associates could demand it, or go
on strike 10 get it. the labor leader flags
the company and its officials

FOR UNION OF FREE PEOPLE


A resolution will be introduced II Con-
gress, at its next session, calling upon the
President to invite the democracles to
send delegates to a conference to explore
the possibilities of Federal Union and
to see how far the peoples of the de-
mocracies might be willing to go IN the
establishment of the proposed union OF
the free. a
Will L. Clayton, former Under-Secre-.
tary of State, says that Democracy will.
work for the free peoples of the world
when their economy becomes one COM
petitive economy instead of being divided
as II now is into as many separate and dis
tinct economies as there are nations.
Mr.. Clayton points out that union of
the free peoples of the world, if success
fully accomplished, would follow the
pattern Of the Federal Union formed by
the thirteen colonies of 1887 and sug-
gests that the consequences of such a
union would be as significant as the
growth. progress and development of the
United States.
II is well known that the formation of
such union would give the new govern
ment an overwhelming proportion Of the
worlds material and spiritual resources
and that such a union would be so strong
that no nation, or group of nations could
dare to attack it with expectation of VIC
tory.
The plan which Mr.. Clayton has in
mind il based on Clarence Streit's book,
Union Now" which he wrote before the,
outbreak of the second World War. Mr.
Streit's idea is not an all-inclusive con-
glOmeratiOn of nations but a compact,
homogeneous grouping of free peoplse
accustomed to and appreciative of the
freedoms that make up Western civiliza-
ton. This common background would
supply the basis of a cooperative effort
10 guarantee the security of the member
states and open to their peoples greater
opportunity for improved living stand
ards
The union would be exclusive in that
only those nations enjoying popular self
government and recognizing the rights
Of individuals would be invited to join.
Nevertheless. it would be open to MEM
bership TO all other nations which, in the
course Of years. develop democratic prac-
tices and regimes that respect the rights
Of individuals. Already, twenty members
Of the House of Representatives have
introduced resolution to initiate action
10 explore the possibility of progress along
the lines Of Union Now"
There is no reason in the world why
the people of the United States should
not be willing to associate themselves
with other peoples who are willing to
adopt the American ideal of government.
The experience of this country has dem
onstrated the advantages that accrue to
q large population in a great area and
the natural expectation is that the
formation of larger union, along the
same lines. would be followed by the
same advantages for all the peoples con-
ccrued.
