40-H0UR week, Time
and A HALF, HERE FOR
DURATION, WILSON

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Mobiliza-
ton chief Charles E. Wilson has an
nounced the 40-hour workweek, with
time and a half pay for overtime,
would stay in effect throughout the
defense emergency. "The major con-
sequence of suspending premium pay
for overtime in the present defense
emergency would be to disrupt the
wage sterilization program and in
dustrial relations generally" Wilson
said in a policy statement.
He added that any ban on over
time pay undoubtedly" would lead
to contract reopenings, deprive en-
ployes of any incentive to work more
than 40-hours and create new man
power shortages in some critical de-
tense areas.
Wilson voiced doubts that any
great deal of overtime would result
in increased or more efficient pro-
duction.
In fact, he said, excessive over
time might cause more absenteeism,
accidents. illness and fatigue. He
urged employers who are working
their plants on overtime schedules
TO keep a constant check on pro-
duction to determine the effect
iveness of the increased hours
of work.
The Labor Department reported
the average factory worker put in
40.8 hours at his job during June
and department experts predicted the
workweek would increase as defense
speeds up.

Why Asia Hates Us

What has happened since has been
the inevitable consequences of an at
titude of mind, policy, which has
denied again and again the true
ideals of our people. Thus it was
made plain later that we would not
join intellectually in a plan for the
administration of food on a world
scale; plan that could have put
an end, once and for all, to that OBJ
solete and inadequate relief work
that wastes so much of our money.
Instead, we declared to the world
that is, our representatives did
that we would use food as a political
weapon, and so we have done.
WE HAVE UPHELD ONLY THOSE
WILLING TO TAKE
DIRECTION FROM US
We have proceeded in the most
provincial and local-minded fashion
to act everywhere in the world with
out reference to other peoples. We
have upheld only those persons who
were willing to take direction from
US; usually persons rejected by their
own people and who followed US for
the most corrupt reasonsapf personal
power and gain.
Communism is not important to
any people in Asia. Freedom is of the
first Importance, for they are con-
WINGED that only with freedom have
they the chance to build a better
life, that is all they ask. If commu-
nism does not give them these two
conditions, they will reject commu-
nism.
What fearful loss it was when,
in our blind localism, we threw
away the peoples of Asia and
thought that we could do without
them! 1t was such an unnecessary
loss; we could so easily have kept
them with us, for we had their sup
port, their faith, their love.

But anger and resentment are use
less. Nor can we simply shrug our
shoulders and not care whether we
are liked or not. Asia is most of the
world, the peoples of Asia are most
of the worlds peoples. And in our
struggle against communism, it is of
the greatest Importance to us what
they think of us.
Therefore, let US, in common sense
and prudence, ask ourselves why we
are hated.
ASIANS ONCE LOOKED TO US,
WE TURNED AGAINST THEM
If I had to simply reason why we
are so hated, | would say that it is
because the Asians feel that we have
deceived them. They feel we have
taken sides against them. We have
destroyed their ideal of US. There
is nothing so necessary as an ideal,
at least to an Asian; nothing so prec-
ious as the need to trust someone.
We were the trusted, we were
the good, not really for what we
had done, but for what we were.
Americans had once been colonials
too, subjects to the English, who not
only held India and Malaga and Bur-
ma but also held great pieces of Chi
nese soil; whose ships sailed into
their inland waters; whose hold was
unshakeable upon the customs re-
ceipts and upon the Chinese ports;
who had fought wars to force the
sale of opium upon China.
OUR RECORD WAS GOOD
Americans had never done any of
these things. We had no ports, we did
not take the customs revenue, we
never fought the Chinese. We had
even kept other powers from divid-
ing up China. More than that, in
times of famine food came from the
as it did not from any
where else, and American mission
aries were kind and good.
But, above all, so far above all
for the Asian peoples that it was
almost the only significance, Amer
lea was a republic, place where
people ruled themselves by choos-
ing their own governors, and a
place where there was plenty for
everybody. 1t could be done. In
Asia, therefore, it could be done.
That all this is now changed, and |
hat we have come to be hated, is |
lot because we are really hateful. |
There is nothing in the essential |
American nature as it is found in |
he vast average of our people that |
hould be hateful to the peoples of |
Asia. On the contrary, we are far
more likeable to Asians than most of
he peoples of Europe are. Our frank
less, our humor, our generosity, our
racticality, our ability to make
riends anywhere, all are qualities
hat the Asian likes and under
lands -.
All the great good of America came,
lsians used to say and believe, from
he fact that we are free nation.
'eople must be free, they declared,
efore they could achieve that wond-
rful American way of life. AS the
nd of World War ii drew near, they
,oked to us with fervor, hope, and
ertainty.

HEAVY PENALTIES ON
CONTINUED from page one)

Continued from page one)
Senate committee proposes in eff
feet to stop the growth of co-opera-
tives through the one method that
makes them genuine co-operatives.
They would be compelled to seek
financing from outside sources and
especially from borrowings. This is
contrary to the interest of co-opera-
tives, mutual undertakings of every
sort and of the nation itself"
Farmers Union President Patton
criticized the committee for action
calculated to harass and hamper
coop operations" He pointed out
that the committee proposals would
seriously hamper co-operatives and
virtually bring about repeating of
the revenue code providing for ex-
emption.
No statement had yet come from
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton, or the National Grange where
the tax proposals were being consid-
cred. But it was understood that
both these organizations would oppose
the proposals and stand firmly by
Cheir often-repeated support of the
non-taxability of patronage refunds.
Experienced Washington observers
doubt that provisions so
discriminatory would survive action
on the Senate floor. They questioned
constitutionality % of attempting
to tax co-operatives on savings that
do not belong to them but to their
patrons, and (2) of trying to set a
minimum rate of interest as a re-
quirement upon one group of private
businesses.

WOULD REVERSE 80 YEAR-OLD
GOVERNMENT POLICY

Secretary of Agriculture Bran
nan stated that if the proposal of
the Finance committee were to be
enacted it would reverse government
policy of 80 years standing in en-
couraging cooperation among farm
ers. "The government" he said,
"would now begin to penalize farm
er co-operatives which are successful
and enjoy normal growth. Establish
ment of new co-operatives would be,
for all practical purposes, prevent
ed"
Final action by the Finance COM
mittee in reporting the entire tax
bill to the Senate is the next step in
the legislative process. Senate floor
debate and action on each section of
the bill will follow and then will come
the conference with representatives
of the House Ways and Means COM
mittee to agree upon a single version
of the two bills passed by the House
and Senate.

Send Troops To Europe---"Do Haul Down Flag

WASHING GTON, (P) - Gov. Thomas E. Dewey urged Congress Saturday not to "haul down the flag by barring the sending of American troops to Europe.
 The New York Governor told the Senate foreign relations and armed services committees ap- proval of a resolution by Senator Wherry of Nebraska, the Republi- can floor leader, would paralyze the capacity of this nation for its own defense"
