What About East Berlin?
Anyone studying the map of
Europe will see that Mr.. X has
some sense in desiring to solve the
present crazy situation caused by
dividing the great city Of Berlin
between the Russians and the Al
lies. With Berlin in the center of
East Germany, which was given to
Russia, person cannot now enter
or leave Berlin except by permits
sion of Russia or by airplane. As
I had not time to get a visa for
East Germany, / was obliged to go
from Copenhagen westward to
Hamburg Zone of West Germany's
largest cities and fly from there
into Berlin.
What the solution will be no one
now knows, but the people Of Ber-
lin believe it will be settled in some
satisfactory manner without any
ultimatums or resort to war. World
War III may come sometime, but
not so long as Mr.. X is premier.
He knows that if World War III
were started now, not only would
the U. S., Great Britain. Germany.
and all the allies be against him,
but also China. which he fears
most of all.
To summarize this column, let
me say that l worry more at this
point about our United States Ia
Dor leaders than I do about Mr.. K.

Babson Appeals To American Labor Unions

Berlin. Germany, Oct. q. Al
though l am writing this in Berlin
one should not judge Germany by
Berlin since it is an independent
and separate community of its own
Not only is it divided between diff
ferent nations, but it is entirely
surrounded by Russian controlled
territory. It is a free economic is
land floating in a sea of Com
muniSm--nothing like it anywhere
else in the world Now for an
answer to- the question frequently
asked me: IS the United States
facing serious unemployment?
Every County Has Labor Unions
Even Germany has its labor
unions, but practically no strikes.
The union leaders and employers
unite to make better goods to sell
at lower prices Hence. they are
more industrious and more pro-
ductive. due to longer hours and
a lower cost of living. There is
very little installment buying in
Germany.
American labor will try to keep
German products out of our cbun-
try by getting Congress to raise
our tariffs. This would not only in
crease the cost of living in the
United States. but might cause
Germany to "gang up" with Rus
STA, Japan. and China in an
economic war. Germany may have
another Hitler" who could be an
economic Hitler"-juSt as power
full and ruthless as Adolf was in a

Germany is now making ma

port to us in the United States. If.
however. we raise our tariffs so
that she cannot export to us, Ger

There is no way to tell how a team will

Last Sunday, the professional Redskins

automation. The rules must be fair to the
worker and to management. 1t was here
that labor leaders and management found
principal differences.
A fact-finding board headed by Dr.
George Taylor, found less lost motion in
steel industry than in other industries and
counseled Slow gradual approaches to the
problem That be as it may, the simple fact
is that increased production must result
from increased wages and more liberal
fringe benefits, else the product will De in
crease in price and another initiation spiral
set in motion.
The negotiations in the steel strike are
becoming a problem of face-saving. Presi-
dent Eisenhower has taken steps to employ
the Taft Hartley Act, to force reopening Of
the steel mills for cOoling-off period of
80 days, while labor and management con-
tinue negotiations. The President may or
may not have been wise in waiting to en-
ploy the njunctive processes by the gov
eminent 1t is certainly hoped that some
settlement may come quickly to resume
steel production so important to the econo-
my Of this nation. The public's welfare is
at stake and the defense program can be
vitality affected by prolonged strikes now.
The public certainly has an important
stake in the loss Of production in this Vital
field, and government intervention is logi-
cal and needed.

Born June u, 1858
The Croatian Fraternal Un-
ion Scholarship Foundation,
Inc, has made remarkable
strides since it's chartering
June 27, 1858, by the Courts
of Allegheny County, Penn
sylvania.
The Foundation was in exis-
tence less than six months
when the Directors made
their first twenty grants of
$25O.OO on Nov. 21, 1858.
This they were able to do
In the main due to the Sept.
1858 decree of the Society's
Supreme Board calling for
the transfer to the Foun-
dation funds of $4,000 for
scholarship purposes.

Board will not hold It's first

DETROIT, Mich. - At tho
annual meeting Of George
Washington CF'U Lodge 519
it was decided that the Lodge
and Nest SO jointly stage q
Picnic this summer.
This event will take place
Sunday, August 80, at Ar
cadia Park on IA Mile Rd.,
just east of Dequindre.
Members of the Lodge and
parents of the nest members
are asked to bear in mind
the date set for the picnic and
are invited to attend.
For quite some time our
Lodge has not had any i'm
portant social events aside
from the usual Christmas par
ty and participating in the ac-
tivities of the Central Edu-
cational Committee.
However, this is not
enough, as there must be
more activities in the Lodge
and it's Nest.
While it Is desirable that
we make something, or at
least break even, it is inn
portant that our members
get together at such an oc-
casiOn.
We appeal to our members
to take an active part in the
forthcoming picnic and at the
same time an invitation is ex-
tended to other lodge MEM
bers and our many friends.
