,lnsents for Uni ed Nations outy,
Mr. linden poicted out that SWed-
ish laws expressly forbid the use
of Swedish troops outside the
country's borders except for de-
Tense purposes, and tat this pro-
posal therefore raises the qaes-
ton of a revision of these laws.
1t obviously has not been possible
to discuss such a revision in due
constitutional course, and h e
Swedish Government consequent
ly is obliged to abstain from vot-
ing on this particular issue. Mr..
linden added that this attitude
does not mean that Sweden is OPP
posed to this part of the seven

lister Osten linden gave his sup
port to the American plan to
strengthen the General Assembly
as an instrument of peace.
Under the American plan, which
was sponsored by seven nations,
the Assembly will take gover the
duties of the Security Council
when the work of the Council be-
comes paralyzed by the veto, and
the Assembly will have the auth
ority to recommend the use of
force for coercive actions. Mr..
linden admitted that the consti-
tutionality of the General Assem-
bly's recommending the use of
force is open to discussion, but
he added that practice actually
has by-passed a literal interpreted
ton of the charter. Like any 9TH

the charter must develop organi
cally in order not to become

Let's All Be Organizers

Let every American Federation of Labor member be an
organizer!
That is the theme of the Samuel Gompers Centennial
year organization campaign of the AFL and following
through that theme will be the stamp of union patriotism
for every AFL member.
AFL state organizations throughout the nation par
tcpatng in the campaign The accent is the present
membership to talk union principles expond union gains
and sell organizations to neghborS and to fellow workers
who have not fit to organize
In many industrial plants not having the union shop,
there hitch hkes They the boys who glad to
but who do not like the idea of joining the union paying
dues being active and helping to win the improvements in
pay and working conditions
The accent is going to be that group particularly.
They have got to be sold and there lies the job
of AFL members already in such plants. Those union
must be the statesmen to convince their nonnon fellow
workers to get in and help the union to win the gains which
all benefit from.
There is the union expansion field too. In Duluth, for
instance the Retail Clerks soidyng their organization
expanding it in the retail field They the march and
the healthy evidence is that nonorganzed stores
asking the union to in and help them organize
State councils moving ahead organization
pagns, determined to produce results State AL employees
unions the march AF city and county public
employe groups.
Success in most instances will be measured by the en-
thusasm of current members and organizers alike selling
the worth of organized labor to nonunionSts 1t isn't too
big job either many instances because many are sold
the idea but need only the and experience of
others to help them get organized.
Let's all work to produce able recruits for the AFL in
this Gompers Memorial year
