AL PAPER MAKERS
TO RELEASE film
ON PUBLIC POWER
BY Labor's Daily News servic

ALBANY, N. "a timely color
film strip on the crucial national
issue of public power, produced by
the AFL international Brotherhood
of Paper Makers and previewed at
the AFL convention in Los Angeles,
is now available to local unions and
state and city declarations throughout
the United States.
The film strip, with accompanying
16-inch 33 1/3 rpm recording, comes
to grips with the propaganda of the
private power lobby which has been
attempting to halt public develop
ment of power and to turn over to
private industry power projects now
publicly owned.
1t emphasizes the need for cheap
and abundant power and shows how
industrial development and economic
growth have depended on the develop
ment Of electrical power at reasonable
rates. 1t describes how the develop
ment of power by public agencies has
resulted in more power at less cost
than energy supplied by private COM,
panies.
The film also retells the success
stories of iva and rural electrifica-
ton and points out how the private
power lobby, convinced that these
tvnical success stories are 1Inaccail
able, changed its attack and attempt
ed to undermine public programs by
them as "socialistic."
The strip takes 16 minutes to
show. Cost, including record and all
shipping charges, is $40. Orders

BACKGROUND OF UN

By way Of leading up to her dis
cussiOn of the Importance to the en-
tire world that the UN be successful
in its efforts to preserve peace and
to improve worldwide conditions,
Mrs. Roosevelt briefly reviewed it's
beginnings In so doing, she recalled
that her late husband, President
Franklin Roosevelt, had frequently
expressed the conviction that the
world organization should be set up
before the ending of World War II
because, under the dire necessity Of
working together in order to achieve
allies, somehow, managed to get along |
with each other" First exploratory
work was done at the Dumbarton |
Oaks Conference in 1914. Then came |
the drafting of the United Nations
Charter at San Francisco in April,
1915, followed by the setting up of
he organization at the London Con-
ference in January 1916. She was
first appointed to serve as an Ameri-
IAN delegate at the beginning Of the
london Conference, and thereafter
pent six years as member of our
delegation with most of her efforts
devoted to the UN's Education, So
ial and Cultural Organization.
Since January 1852 she has spent
much of her time working in behalf

Pointing up that the Communists
say 1--WE believe all men are brothers, :"
when, she said, cts a matter of fact
they do not treat all their people
equally" she illustrated to her audi
ence the necessity that we prove the
superiority of our way of life which
emphasizes the freedom of the in
dividual. Not only must we show
that men can and do live better in
an atmosphere of freedom, but we
must constantly bear in mind that
the rest of the world watches closely
our every act. Every instance of
discrimination because of race or
