Economic HghHghts

ably the thesis that capitalism is a
single world-system fatally torn
by contradictions which can be
cured only by a consciously direct
ed socialist revolution. Granted
these assumptions, the determina-
tion to use the foothold won in the
Soviet Union as a base for world
revolution, is elementary common
sense"
Historicus states that one of
Stalin's favorite passages was
written by Lenin, and goes as fol-
lows 'We live not only in a
state but in system Of states, and
the existence of the Soviet Repub-
lie side by side with the imperial
ist state for long time is unthink-
able. In the end either one or the
other will conquer. And until that
end comes, a series of the most
terrible collisions between the Sow
let Republic and the bourgeois
states is inevitable" Stain quoted
this bit of prophecy in an article
of his own, and commented: "Clear,
one would think"
The substance of Historicus'
study is summed up in these words:
"The ultimate resort to armed
force is a logical development of
the feminist thesis that only con-
sciously-led revolution can drive
the capitalists from the stage of
history. The assumption that the
world has been fundamentally di-
vided into two camps since the
October Revolution runs through
Stains writings from his early
days and is grounded in his Marxist
philosophy" In other words, he
has never ceased preaching the
hard gospel of Soviet et-directed
war and revolution to the Russian
masses.
Historicus' article is important
as contribution to modern his
tory. 1t is also important as a guide
to the way this and other Western
nations should regard pronounce
ments of policy from Stain and
the other top communists. The OBJ
vious fact is that Stalinist tactics
call for building up hatred and dis
trust of the capitalist world at
home, even as an attempt is made
to quiet the fears and suspicious
of the people in other lands.

MoIders Oldest
International

Washington, d. C. QLNS). -
Answering the question, what is
the oldest international union in
the United States and when was il
organized?" the Labor News Re.
view with Albert N. Dennis said:
"The oldest international union
in continuous existence in America
so far us I've been able to deter
mine, is the International Molders
and Foundry Workers Union OF
North America. Organized as, ma
tional union in 1859, it became an
international union years later
in 1861-that is 81 years ago. ]
might explain that the Typograph-
ical Union, organized earlier, in
1852, as a national union, did not
become an international union until
1869. SO it appears that the mold
ers have the distinction of being
oldest international un-
ion."

Penalties Just
A SIop On Wrist
Says PIoeser

Washington (LPA) = Present
penalties for antitrust violations

Business Committee reported last
week after investigating mono
poles for the past year.
Violators are usually just fined
said Chairman Walter Ploeser Or,
MOI, and "the fines are just slap
on the wrist for serious defense.
They are a cheap tax to pay and
in fact fine can be used as a base
Of expense for new profits-just a
business expense"
Executives violating the trust
laws should be excluded from bus
mess for certain number of
years, the Committee recommend
ed, the time of suspension to be
increased with each offense.
The group also suggested that
the government Immediately pro-
ceed to break up dangerous COM
bines in the oil and movie indus
tries. Another recommendation was
that a percentage tax be substi-
tuted for the present flat tax on
cigarettes.

In Living Costs

Washington, d. C. QLNS). -
The cost-of-living index continued
fractional drop in most large cit
les by 0.8 per cent from Oct. Is to
Nov. Is, it was announced by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, U. s.
| Department of Labor.
This decline was the second one;

er's price index Nov. Is was 1925
percent of the 1859 average, A
percent higher than year ago,

cline was drop of 1.9 percent in
food prices. The drop in food prices
marked the fourth consecutive
month in which the food index has
declined.
From the record high reached in
July, food prices have dropped
more than percent to level of

STU To Oppose
ECA Ship Policy

San Francisco UPA)-President
Harry Lundeberg of the Seafarer,
lnt1 Union-AFL last week threat
ened to tie up foreign ships carry,
ing Marshall plan cargo if Econ.
omic Cooperation Administrator
Paul Hoffman sticks to his order
cutting the amount of ECA goods
shipped in American vessels.
The protest, in which the Mast
ers, Mates & Pilots Ass'n-AFL and
numerous ship owners joined was
precipitated by a Hoffman state
ment that the Congressional stipu-
lation that 500 of all recovery
goods dispatched under the Mar
shall plan be carried in American
bottoms unduly increased ECA ex-
penses. The ECA chief maintained
that the ratio should be reduced
unless bulk cargo rates on US
ships are reduced.
Lundeberg replied that Hoff-
mans policy would depress the
standards of American seamen.
US Maritime Commission offic-
ials have also taken exception to
Hoffman's suggestion, and are be-
lieved ready to refer the matter to
President Truman for final decis-
ion.
Sen. William Knowland OR, Cal. }
pointed out that the act of Con-
gress setting up ECA demands that
the 50eo rule be adhered to, and
warned Hoffman not to change it
consulting Congress.

Hartman Invites
More Union Aid In
Recovery Effort

Paris LPA)-Special Ambass-
ador w. Averell Hartman, US
Marshall plan chief in Europe, last
week praised the contributions of
the trade unions of both Europe
and the US to the success of the
European recovery program, and
invited democratic unions to take
an even bigger role in rehabilita-
tion efforts.
"ERP owes much to the free
democratic trade unions Of Europe
for progress made in 1948 toward
the rebuilding Of self-reliant ma
tions united in their purpose of
Establishing more stable and secure
living for ALL" the Ambassador de-
clared.
"Trade unionists of Europe who
have come forward not only to sup
port, but also to actively further
the Marshall plan, have become a
leading force in the European re-
construction effort. The willingness
of trade unions to assume this
leadership and to accept their full
share of the responsibility in the
advancement Of European recovery
has firmly assured the success OF
the plan," he explained.
Commenting on the aid the Econ
omic Cooperation Administration
received from the AFL and CIO,
when reactionaries in the 80th
Congress were trying to cut its
appropriations, Hartman S a d:
"The confident backing given to
the Marshall plan by the American
labor movement from the start
made possible the enactment and
realization of the full scope of the
program"
Confident of continued ECA sue
cess in 1949, Hartman asserted:
"We are heartened by the assur-
ance of unremitting cooperation of
the free trade unionists of America
and Europe thru the coming year.
We welcome their increased parti-
cipation i'm our work in order that
1949 may bring even greater pro-
gress along the road to a better
standard of living and a firm world
peace"
Both the AFL and CIO in their
fall 1948 conventions said that the
success of the Marshall plan is the
keystone of American labor's for
eign policy program.

Labor Official
Called By Death

Chicago (ILNS).-Agnes Nest
or, president Of the Chicago Wo-
mems Trade Union League for the
last 35 years and known through
out the nation as a leader and
champion of organized labor, died
Dec. 28 in st. Luke's Hospital at
the age of 68.
In addition to her lifelong work
for labor, Miss Nestor held import
ant posts on many government
commissions and agencies, both
federal and state.
Born in Grand Rapids, Mich, she
moved to Chicago with her family
as a girl and went to work as a
glove worker at Ia, after complet-
ing grammar school, because of
the long illness and subsequent un-
employment of her father. She
joined the international Glove
Workers Union of America, becom-
ing successively general secretary
treasurer and president and later
was vice president of the union for
many years. She also was a MEM
ber of the board of the National
Women's Trade Union League.
In 1914 Miss Nestor was APP
pointed by President Wilson as a
member of federal commission to
consider national aid for vocation
al education. She was made a mem
Der of the Illinois Industrial Sur
vey Commission by the Governor
of Illinois in 1918, and in the same
year was appointed to the women's
committee, a subsidiary of the
Council of National Defense, and
made chairman of the department
on women in industry.
She also represented the wo-
men of the country on the advisory
council to the Secretary of Labor,
William b. Wilson, in war labor
legislation. In April, 1913, she was
a member of a labor mission that
visited Great Britain and France.
Other posts Miss Nestor held
were on state and county unem-
ployment relief commissions dur
ing the depression, Chicago Rec
reation Commission, advisory COM
mittee of the Chicago Planning

AFL Group Would Bar US. Aid To China
If Communists Has Voice In Government

New York. - The AFL's Free
Trade Union Committee, headed by
Matthew .Woll, AFL vice president,
urged President Truman to reject
all plans for aid to China in the
event that Communists gain any
representation in the government
of that nation.
A statement issued by the COM
mittee proposed the following 3
point program for United States
policy toward China:
"(D We strongly urge President
Truman and the incoming Congress
Immediately to call conference OF
all the democratic nations to work
out a common program of action
to stem the tide of Communist
tyranny and to bolster the truly
democratic forces of Asia. The fate
of freedom in China and Asia Is
the concern not only of America
but of all liberty-loving nations.
"(2) We appeal to the American
government to place before the Sc
curity Council Of the UN the en-
tire question of the role of Russia
in fostering civil war in China and
undermining the national govern
ment of China with which it has a
treaty of friendship and peace.
"(3) We insist on prompt and
adequate American aid to the legi-
innate government of China under
effective supervision Of competent
American economic and military
authorities"
The committee statement warn
ed that American aid to a Chinese
coalition government which includ-
ed Communists would be nothing
else but the entering wedge for
the enslavement of additional hun
dreds of millions of people," and
woulds nullify the gains for world
freedom and peace won by our
armed force in the Pacific.
Supporting its warning with a
recital of the effects of Communist
infltration in other countries, the
committee declared:
"The civilized freedom-loving
world has had tragic experience
aplenty with the policy of includ-
ing Communists in so-called coal
ition governments. In Poland, when
the selfstyled Lublin (Communist)
government was merged with the
legitimate Polish government in
exile, we only paved the way for
the Communists to take over full
control of Poland, to drive the
Polish people into the Soviet orbit,
and to destroy every vestige of
Polish national independence and
liberty.
"In Czechoslovakia, the Com
munists as a minority in the gov
ernment, operated as a Kremlin
caucus for the purpose of disrupt
ing and displacing the democratic
ally elected authorities with a
totalitarian Communist Dictator
ship.
"Thus have the rights of labor
and human liberties, thus have free
trade unionism and democracy,
been crushed in Poland and in
Czechoslovakia.
"The experience with Commun-
lists even as minorities in the form
er French and Italian cabinets has
likewise proved disastrous. The
Communists have done nothing
else but utilize their posts as places
from which to operate as agents
and fifth columnsts of imperialist

Soviet foreign policy and as sub
verters of economic reconstruction
and political stabilization in their
netherlands.
"The Communists in China, like
the Communists elsewhere, are no
thing but tools and spies of the
Soviet government. They are paid
agents and unpaid tools of the
Moscow oligarchy which is frantic
ally devoted to the destruction of
all human freedom and dignity and
to the establishment of a world
wide totalitarian dictatorship run
and manipulated by the Russian
Commissars through their savage
secret political police"

Sportsmen Say 1900 Elk
Could Easily Be Placed

At a meeting of the Rocky
Mountain Sportsmen Tuesday eve
ming, discussion by various mem
bers developed the conclusion that
at least 1900 elk could be trans
planted in the area surrounding
Butte, Deer Lodge and Drum
mond. In view of this, the associa-
ton also decided to contact Re-
gional Forester Hanson at Mis-
soula, asking that he appear at
meeting of the association to dis
cuss the sharing of federal lands
between stockmen and wiIdIife,
rather than the stockmen contin-
uing to treat these lands as their
own private grazing preserve. The
sportsmen are willing to go $3.50
on the use of these federal lands.
Another interesting item brot
out Tuesday night was that the
Park Service has only one trap
with which to catch elk for trans
planting. The association has
wired Senator Murray urging that
he secure cooperation of Interior
Secretary Oscar Chapman in pro-
viding additional trapping facil-
tiles. Other interested people are
also asked to wire Senator Muir
ray on this matter.
