Administration Fights
To Prevent Relaxing
OF Defense Efforts

An administration drive to make
certain that America does not re-
lax in It's defense efforts after vic.
tory in Korea was beginning to be
evident today.
Gen. Bradley. Joint Chiefs Of
STAFF chairman. warned In q Ma
tional Press Club speech yesterday
that this country must not 'slet
down its guard" with such q VIC
tory and added that that posi-.
bility was "the greatest danger
that faces this Nation and It's
friendly neighbors In the North
Atlantic community
Almost simultaneously w. Aver.
ell Hartman, President Truman's
foreign affairs adviser, told the
Yale Club of Washington that "if
we don't go through with this Gre
larmament) now the country will.
be in mortal peril"
Hartman Speaks.
Mr.. Hartman pointed out that
the tendency always has been to
relax when the good news starts
to come in" and added: r..
'This is long pull. It is going
to require lot Of sacrifices on the
part of this generation"
Gen. Bradley, In response to q
question. said it was anybody's
guess when the United Nations
forces will clinch their victory in
Korea.
He said that adequate Euro
pean defenses were the key to this
Nations security. ...
Even while we are fighting the
enemy In Korea. we must plan for
the future defense on the other
side Of the globe" he said. "Hav-
ling agreed to certain forces for
the defense Of Western Europe,
we cannot vacillate and fall down
on these agreements"
3 Factors Involved.
The Pentagon Is planning. Gen.
/ ol dAAEy CdAOp 4OA WAC COtdbA4oAA-
ment Of adequate strength so that
Europe can count on effective
defense. not ultimate liberation. t"
He said the actual size of the
American forces to be sent to
Europe has not been decided and
depends on three factors-the
outcome in Korea. whether other
local wars" demand United States
forces and the effort Western
Europe itself is willing to make.
Gen. Bradley urged the use Of
West German forces in the col
lective defense enterprise, but
not on scale which would make
Germany future threat.
In reply to questions, he said
that from a strictly military
standpoint, bases in Ireland and
Spain would improve defense
prospects. But he noted both
these questions were governed by
politicala considerations.

Seattle Fishermen Will Be LondIubbers For Ever After

Two Seattle fishermen were hunting jobs-on shore-in Ko- diak last week, in an attempt to earn boat fare back to Seattle. They'd just been rescued from an attempted salvage operation of a fishing boat they lost earlier this Aeason. In the salvage operation, the fishermen lost their second boat, and $500 in bills which one of them had carried in his pocket.
 So the pair are short CD the Della I, (b) their salvage ship, the Della II, (c) $500, (d) all their clothing, which went down with the Della II, and (e) an occupa- tion. They've decided to give up fishing.

IRON ALL sections of our
Il country we hear of people
boarding all kinds of goods
and commodities. In certain
areas, we are told, the sudden
pressure on our markets APP
proaches the proportions of
panic buying. AS some news
papers and magazines put it,
there seems to be a difinite
flight from the dollar" Peo-
pie are anxious to put their
dollars into goods of all kinds,
including automobiles, %electri-
cal appliances and gadgets of
all sorts. The real estate bust
ness, too, has perked up to
new and higher levels. This in
spite of the fact that accord
ing to any normal analysis,
the real estate business has
been suffering from INFLATED
values" ever since the begin
ming of World War III. This is
certainly the case around our
industrial areas where the
prices asked for new and old
h o m are, comparatively
speaking, fantastic.
How explain this flight
from the dollar?"
How explain this "hoard-
ing?"
How explain this sudden
rush of buying, verging on
panic proportions, in both re-
tail and wholesale buying?
And this applies to large in
dustrial buyers as well as
& h tened individuals who
are trying to take care Of
their own present and antici-
pated needs.

Wcr Casualties In Koreo

A S THE BLOODY conflict in faraway
N Korea mounts in fury, American
families - mothers and fathers - are
once again shocked into reality with the
news that a loved one has been killed,
wounded or missing in action" AS the
bloody wal RACES on in undated fury, the
lists grow longer and longer. Already
some of the lucky wounded G.I.s have
been returned to hospitals at home. Others
in ever mounting numbers are on
their way to what fate God only knows.
Sorrow, pain, bitterness is being felt
in more and more American homes.
But no matter how much bitterness,
how much pain the daily release of these
casualty lists may cause our people, we
must pose the inevitable question: Where
will all this lead to? What is in store for
us here in America for the people in
other lands, other nations?
These same questions, in a sense, were
posed by Mr.. Trygve Lie, the Secretary
General of the United Nations in his an
nual report to the U.N. just a few days
g Mr.. Lie, of course, stated bluntly that
the Korean war must be settled on terms
6CGDLdDIc W lit Os4Ns ain IC CAPA
confidence that it will be settled in just
that way. Aggression must be stamped out
wherever it raises its ugly head.
But what will happen AFTER the Ko-
rean war is settled? This is, indeed, a vi
tai, a life-and-death question for the entire
world to ponder. He suggests that heads of
nations, especially the dominant nations of
the world - the US, Britain, Russia,
France, China, etc. - must sit down once
again to attempt to reconcile their differ
ences around the conference table - with
in the framework of the United Nations.
Mr.. Lie makes it rather clear that UNI
less we do that, the only other alternative
is war with all of its horrible conse-
quences.
We believe that Mr.. Lies suggestions
merit the most serious consideration by
all concerned.
This is no time to stand on ceremony.
Our very lives are at stake.
People all over the world are craving
for peace . for security . for free
dow . for a little bit of happiness in
this miserable world.
The United States, especially because
of its preponderance of military power;
because of its heritage of freedom, democ-
racy and a standard of living that is the
envy of the entire world, must move
heaven and earth to maintain peace.
For if war should break out between
the so-called West and the East; if the
world should be plunged into a flaming
inferno, we and our allies may very we'll
come out in the end as "victors".
But we're afraid that such a victory
would prove to be the greatest pyrrhic
victory of all ages.

EXECUTIVE sEGREIARy rlu1

have had two or three conversations with Congressman
Tom Burke recently. In the conversations Tom brought out
some information about his candidacy for Congress that should
be explained to our members.
If we can read the local press accurately they indicate
there is something wrong or sinister if our representative in
Congress happens to be pro-labor. 1t seems very odd that a
representative can 60 to Congress and be pro-anything but it
is wrong if he is prolabor.
A representative can be elected that has a background in
the law profession and still no one objects that he is prolegal
profession. One may be elected from the medical profession
but there Is no objection that he is pro-American Medical
Association. A judge may be elected and no one objects that
or manufactures is elected and you hear no hue and cry that he
is robustness.
But let that representative to Congress be from the work.
ing class and a former union official and our morning paper
would have the people believe there is something wrong. /
believe the people are too intelligent to believe such tommyrot
Such an insinuaton does not hurt Congressman Burke it
insults those who work. And it is a challenge to the people of
this community. I'd like to know what is wrong for the people
of the Ninth Ohio Congressional District to be represented by a
former factory worker and union official? If there is anything
wrong then it is the fault of democracy then democracy
is wrong, and / do not believe this is true.
If you are not registered to vote in the next election you
will be barred from voting. 1t is a simple matter to get register
ed. Go to the Board of Elections, next to the Esquire Theatre
In essence the reactionary elements in our city, and that
includes our monopoly press who are contemplating running
their own candidate against Tom Burke, at least up to the time
this is being written, are going to make a drive to defeat Con-
gresham Burke mainly because he happens to be from labor.
l do not think the voters of Lucas and Ottawa County will let
this come to pass.
Tom Burke, in his first term, has done an excellent job for
all the people he will continue to do so in the future. He
should be reelected and with your help ne will be.

loft, Profits And Wor

pOBERT A. TAFT, the real whip of
~ Big Business in the u. S. Senate, has
never made any bones about where he
stands with respect to profits. He is for
profits. And the bigger the profits the bet
ter he likes it. 1t makes no difference to
him whether we have peace or war. Prof
its must go on. For example, back in 1914,
on March is to be exact - at the height
of World War ii - Mr.. Taft spoke of
profits at a hearing of the Senate Commit
tee on Banking and Currency. Said Mr..
Taft:
mo, no; ] am not Directing to profits.
They have TO be taken into consideration.
l am only objecting to saying, Well, you
are making too much profit"
Mr.. Taft is still singing the same song.
Today, with the Korean situation on our
hands and with military expenditures
mounting by the billions, Taft is opposed
to an excess profits tax on corporate in
comes. But he is for increased income
taxes, especially on the lower income
groups.
9" do not believe Taft is reported as
saying, that we should even consider at
this time a new excess profits tax"
AT the same time this same 1alft bel
lows all over the lot about insufficient
military preparedness about greater
efforts on our part to win the Korean stu
alton . about the responsibility of Presi-
dent Truman for the explosive ~interna-
national situation.
WELL, LET US consider profits for a
W moment. In our last issue we re-
ported on the latest General Motors profit
statement. According to this statement
GIN. netted $484,277,3 S9 clear profit in
the first six months of this year. During

CIQ President Murray's suggestion that Con-

suggested passage of Presidents minimum

later.
Legislation designed to control prices and
halt profiteering should be promptly enacted"
Murray wired. But obviously, such legislation
cannot be drafted on the floor of the House or

ances.

DERHAPS the best example
Il in this sense is what hap
pened after the last war when
OPA was killed. During the
war, forgetting certain incon-
Veniences which were the di-
rect result of our tremendous
war effort, people generally
got along without much diff
Guilty. Even during the height
of shortages, because of ra-
tioning, people were able to
provide for their needs. Prices
were in line because of fairly
strict OPA regulations.
But most of us remember
rather wildly what happened
when, right after the termina-
ton of the war, OPA was
killed by Taft and his cohorts.
You remember what the
Tafts, the Wherry's told us
about the killing of OPA?
"Prices will take care of
themselves after OPA," bel
lowed Taft of Ohio and Wherry
of Nebraska. And their bel
lowing was trumpeted by
every newspaper r, every
magazine, every reactionary
politician in the land.
Shortages are caused by
OPA," Numbered the Cham
Der of Commerce and the
Manufacturers Association.
xiii OPAE" was shouted at
us from every angle.
The huge "Meat Trust"
went on a sit-down strike at
the height of this fight by re-
fusing to allow their meat
products to reach the people
through normal store chan
nels.
Well, they won. And the
people lost. So much SO that
within one year after the
death of OPA retail food
prices rose 81 meat prices
alone skyrocketed 71% and
wearing apparel jumped 1879.
This was within a single year
after Taft and his cohorts kill
ed OPA. Since that time, of
course, prices have continued
to rise so that today they are
at new all-time highs.
The people were burnt bad
ly.
They are afraid that today
they are faced with the same
prospects. And they don't
want to get burned again.
THIS FEAR Is certainly not
Il strange in view of these
circumstances.
Even buying government
bonds gives a great many peo-
pie food for some very seri-

from her state - didn't let the mine-run of
oratory fool her during Congressional debates.
Representative Douglas took floor to say;
"It's preposterous to discuss for one moment
control of wages without control at the same
time of excess profits"
Why 0 and big corporations don't want
excess profits taxes is as clear as the millions
in their treasures.
Wall Street Journal reported that big col
lection of big companies are making greatest
profits in their history. For every million dol
lars in profits they raked in during second
quarter of 1919, they made almost a million
and-a-half during second quarter this year.
(GM made just SIS million short of one
half billion dollars profits after taxes in first
half of so; GE had record six months; u. S.
Steel made more than in any half-year since
1917, when taxes were very low

more than recovery from recession" Sure is,

a Political Myrmidon"

A CCORDING TO Webster a "myrmi-
"A don" is "a subordinate who executes
orders without protest or pity" A poll
teal myrmidon," of course, is one who
functions in the field of political activity.
Now, who do you suppose we're talk
ing about? You hit it right on the head.
Naturally, we're talking about Homer Ra-
mey, the TT. hon. judge who aspires to get
himself back on Uncle Sans payroll come
this fall under the guise of becoming a
Congressman.
What do we think of Mr.. Ramey for
Congressman? We will tell you that from
time to time in the course of the coming
election campaign. Right now, however -
believe it or not - we want to tell you
what the Toledo Times think of him. So,
we quote from an editorial which appear
ed in the May 5th edition of Mr.. Blocks
mouthpiece:
"Here we come to another lamentable
choice, namely, the nomination of Mr..
Homer Ramey to be the Republican candi-
date for Representative from the Ninth
Ohio Congressional District" we read in
this editorial.
W. diC Ill bhlltCu Uy the spectacle
of the Ninth District voters turning out in
droves to ballot for Judge Ramey," con-
tinues the puzzled pundit. she certainly
did not rise to dominance by virtue of SUI
perior intelligence. Nor because of any
achievement. He was in Congress for three
terms, and throughout that period he
made 'brag, bounce and quackery do duty
Tor observation, reason and O n
sense as Albert J. Mock put it about so
many politicos.
'In three terms land that's six long
years. Ed, he never revealed a sound or
sensible reason for sending him back to
Congress-"
Well, there you have it. No, not all of
it for the Times editor goes into greater
detail lamenting the nomination of the TT.
hon. Ramey. But that is enough for now.
The point hat we should remember
in this instance is that The Times is right
about Mr.. Ramey. The hon. Judge is a
'myrmidon" - a subordinate who is
ready at all times to execute orders with
out protest or pity. Mr.. Ramey was one
OF the champions of the notorious Taft
Hartley Act. Mr.. Ramey was the champion
of every law, every proposal that was aim
ed against the best interest of the common
people. He was, in every sense, a true
"m%yrmidon" of the vested interests. And
that is what he would become once again
If he were to be sent back to the Congress.
Mr.. Ramey was never a servant of the
comon people.
Therefore, the common people should
reject his candidacy and keep him out of
the Congress.
In the meantime, however = and this
Is OF crucial Importance - we should get
behind the Tom Burke campaign. Tom
Burke, as in all his previous public posi-
tons, has done a commendable job as our
Congressman. Let's keep him there.
