THE BROTHERHOOD GANG

It was Monday with the line gang;All the boys wore there,

Some of them were young and cheerful,Sone of theo had white hair.

lip drove the general fore.man,Going about his morning call;

MGood morning, boys," he greeted,Anl they returned it one and all.

"Look here,*' the general foreman ,,d,In one of hiN casual ways,

"You boys have to work overtime,For the next 10 or 20 days."

Then up spoke the foremn*.Hi,, hair was turning gray;

Said, 'make It 20 or 30;I can take it anyway'

Under the wheel sat the driver;With a twinkle in his eye,

Raid. "I am with my firemau;I'll make this lIne truck fly."

Then spoke a lineman.,With a face as stern as brass;

-If they can take it, I can, too,I am a hot-wire man firt class."

Up piped lineman number two.lisl face sunburned and tan;

"Stay with the gang, do as they do.I am just an old lineman."

Next came lineman number three,Just laughing all the while:

"When there isa rush, count on me,Overtime, that's my style."

Then the grunts. a happy lot.Said, "If that's the way you feel,

Although it puts us on the spoaWe two can buck the reel."

All for one and one for all,They stick just as they should;

Day in anti out without a brawl;For they are members of the Brotherhood.

VICTORY AIMS

It's good to be an American, and know thatyou are right,

To live beneath the Stars and Stripes, anlget your sleep at night.

I'd hate to be a native of an Axis countrywhere

The RAF and the AEF is a 24-hour night-mare,

When we have won and peace has come ta thisold world again,

To each Italian we will give an organ and achain,

And on the end a little Jap with cup andbamboo cane.

To each and every Nazi an Iron Cross wewill bestow,

And a copy of Meini Kampf as revised by learold Joe.

While the Axis dictators' bodies are swinging from the trees.

The United Nations flag will be waving inthe breoee.

TRIBUTE TO AMERICA

J)aces

Let it be remembered

There is boundless ache

In human hearts.

Let it be realized

That misery is piled high on misery

The world over,

And there is no peace, and little hope.

And yet, these faces I see

Upon the teeming streets

Are smiling faces. They are young,

And these faces of the old,

Though grim, are not unkind.

They speak a universal language.

They seem to say,

"Draw near, brother, in your misery.

We belong together. We will stand to-

gether.

Not alone, but together."

Faces are but books

That tell stories

Of pain and hardship.

Faces are but telegraph stations

That flash messages

Of hope across the chaos of a world.

HUGE PROFITS 1Bt &u&dk Cwnpania

HIS has been called an age of manage-enut. Ownership has een alloweld to

fade into the backl'gtonld. Manageis,generally speaking, arc worthy of theirhire, enl yet no arrangement under asocial competitive system has beenworked out to pay management its sal-aries. These salaries ar e often adjustedby management itself.

The present war effort throws whitelight upon the increases of pay given tommnanjg'rt of big companies, ani on thehuge profits Fad L on basic industries inthe war effort.

WAR BLESSES A FEWWar means sorrow, loss a. d depriva-

Virtually all of the Rovernment's $1billion expansion program for the steelindustry has gone into improving or in-creasing facilities in existing pbmts.Among the few new steel plants whichhave been authorized are a plult in Utahfor a subsidiary of the U. S, Steel Co,-pIoration, one at Housto, f or a subsidiaryof American Rolling Mills, the OregonElectric Steel Bolling Millk at Portland,0reg., and a 1,000,000 ton plant for theHenry J. Kaiser Co. at Fortran, Calif.

Significantly all four of these newplants are designed primarily to servethe shipbuilding industry. When the wa,is over the new West Coast steel plants

nay present some stiff competition tothe older, well established .cern..s.

Shipbuilding, which languished fordecades after the first World War, has

CONSTRUCTION MEN BUILD SHIPS

The Kai,,er saa has broken upon pub-lic attention Mill a groat splash ofpublicity. Kaiser, originally a cement,rock and sand contraeto,. and his .on-tractor affiliates in the famous Six Corn-paneis (actually the fiint has varied fromsix to nine nember!) were accust/omdto building things- big things like Boul-der, Bonevilie and (bond Cooue da ns.

At the end of the thirties Kaiserteamed up with John D. Reilly. presidentof the Todd Shipyards Corporation. ,hichpreviously had enjoyed a lively ship re-pair business on blth out Atlantic andPacific littorals. and William S. Newell,a spunky lithll yacht builder from SouthPortland, Maine. Pooling financial andtechnical resources thes e three Malk. Ioff with the whole British order for nwvessels, and early in 1941 landed twobig orders from the U. S. MaritimeCoammission.

The combinaton grew until it becameunwieldy. In Februaty, '42. the associ-ates agreed to separate itlltO ho organi-zations, one controlied by Kaiser andone by Todd interests. The Kaiser groulis now genierally conceded to be the larg-est shipbuilding iratmew rk in the nation,with mass produticon yards in Poei-la I,Oreg.. and across the Columbia in Van-couve.l' Wash.o in Wilmington, Calif.

Whilk little iformation is availableai to the fi..ancial standing of the Kaiser-doininated companies, the Todd Ship-building Corporqation (keystone of theTodd interests) reports consolidated netearin'gs of $3t680,000 against a pliny$250.000 for the fiscal years ended March3l1, 1943, ad March 31, 1939, respee-tieely. Net profits per share of capitalsitck junlied to $17.95 froll $1.21 dluringthis period. Inre.ase in net earnings and

bi earn..iN per share between 19'39 and193 were both well over 1300 per cent,but it should be pointed out that 19:I9

was a relatively poor year for Todd,wedged betlee2n two gold years, n.eternings in 11938 having reached $1,Yi,-f00 tr $8.56 p er share.

OTTILER MAJOR SHIPBUILDERS

Second largest shipbuilding interestsafter Kaiser are controlled by the Bleth-hehem Stoel Corporation. Bethlehem hastwo rhipyards at Boston, one each atBSaintree and at Quincy, Mass., otte atStaten Island, two in Brookly.. oneacross the harbor at Hoboken, N. J., twoin B1altimore with a third yard at nearbySparrows Point, bd., one at Alameda.Calif., Union Yards at San Franciscoand Terminal Island at San Pedro--I-lin allh

But Bethlehem does not report earn-tngs from shipbuilding as segregatedfrom it, earnings from steel and oItheroperations, so we have no way of statingdeflnitcly where the main source of itsprofiet, Ies. The same is true of theUnited States Steel Corporation, x~'hoseFederal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Com-pany at Kearny, N. J., is one of thewtorld's largest single shipyards; and ofthe Sun Oil Company which owns IhnSun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Companyat Chester, Pa.

The New York Shipbuilding Corpo'a.tion, corltriled by The Aviation Corpora-tion (of which more later), is anotherof the granddaddies among shipyardswilth total assets of 52 million dollars atthe close of the year, more than fourtimes its assets of $12%4 million in 1939.Profits for 1942 ($3,042,000) soared 228per cent above the $928,000 of 1939.

New York Shipbuilding is one of theoldtimers of the industry. Forqerly itcarried cit an electrical manufacturingbusiness under the name of AntejicanBrown Boye.i Electric Corporation, butit sold this branch of its t-ado to AllMChalmers in 1931. The company has I1leepwater shipways on th, IMhiawa,

Senators are Lister Hill of Alabama,Harold H. Burton of Ohio, Carl A. Hatchof New Mexico and Joseph I. Ball of

At the sametime, such a collective world securitysysteI woud be the least costly method,in bhth liwv. and wealth, for the individ-us] nation s if the world to assure secur-ity and peace ru' thII selves.

-The worl has tried many otherintthtlIs of [aintaining peace balanceof pbwer diplomacy, imperialisn, peacepaetts iultilatealI treaties, and non-aggression ag-remeuts. All have failed.The most riecet aid the broadest in caoceptin va the Le-ague of Nations. Itfailed largldy because at the criticaiinl.inenlt it could not act deisively. Itfailed at least partly because the UnitedStaie., one of the three or four mostpowerful nations in the world, was not afull partner in that effort to achievelasting wor.ld peIre.

"That arlds to the second basic factorwhich guided us in drafting this resolu-tion. The United States, aloe amongthe great powers of the worhl, cannotagree finally to any treaty without thead vice and consent of two-thirds of theUnited States Senate. That provision ofour Constitution was impressed forciblyupon the o ale worhld 2 years ago in thisvery chamber. The whole world, and ourAllies, hm.w today that it is the UnitedStates Senate which will finally decidewhat will be the foreign policy of ourcountry when the war ends.

MUST DECLAIRE INTENTIONS"I, the pIast, thls far-reaching power

of the Senate under our Constitution hasbeen used negatively. We propose thatthe Senate act positively, that it definein clear-cut tIrms the kind 0f foreignpolicy which it believes will best servethis natinn and promote word stabilityand peace.

"The third Lattr which has impelledus to lay this proposal before the Senateat this time is the fact that the foreespulling the United Nations together,making for agfieenient and .ooperathon.aIe d&mIlnat now and will he dominantas Ioug aI ,xe are fighting the war.

OSEPH D. KEENAN, a member ofthe INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OFELECTRICAL WORKERS since 1913, is

now vice chairman of the War ProductionBoard.

Mr. Keenan is on leave of absence fromthe Chicago Federation of Labor, of whichorganization he is sec,'etay. He came toWashington in June, 1940, when the WarProduction Board was organized, and hebecame a member of the National DefenseAdvisory Council. Since then, under hisown large capacity, he has held manyposts in the WPB organization, and onsheer merit, he has now passed to one ofthe highest o?.ices in the agency, in fullcharge of labor production.

OTHER 1. B. E. W. MEN INCLUDED

On the staff of Mr. Keenan at WPB isAlexander Smalley, former member ofthe international executive council of theINTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WaORERS. Associated in thatagency are also wo other rembers of theBROTHERHOOD, Leonard Gappa and Ru-dolph Marginot.

Joseph D. Keenan became an appren-lice in L. U. No. 134, Chicago, in 1913. Hebecame a journe.yman four years later.He served as inspector for the City ofChicago for three years, beginning in1924, and he has been recording secretaryof L. U. No. 134 since 1924.

Another labor man, Clinton S. GoIden,assistant to Philip Murray, also received a

vice chairmanship in the WPB.Mr. Keenan will operate the major

functions of the labor production divisionof the WPB.

INCLUDES HOUSING,TRANSPORTATION

Working closely with the vice chairmanfor manpower liaison, he will coordinateefforts of industry divisions to increaselabor productivity and, in cooperationwith the Conciliation Service, War LaborBoard, and other agencies concerned, toclear up industrial relations problems. Hewill secure appropriate action to correctproblems of industrial health and safetyand of worker transportation and hous-ing, when such problems reduce laborproductivity. He will promote the estab-lishment of joint labor-management con-mittees in essential establishments. TheShipbuilding Stabilization Branch and theBuilding ald Construction Trades Boardof Review will also be transferred to Mr.Keena ns office.

"From now on, it is clear that the warproduction program requires the mostefficient use of o.r manpower resources ifwe are to get the most out of our available

supply of machines and materials," Mr.Nelson said.

LABOR'S CONFIDENCE A FACTOR

"To carry on such a program, we ob-viously need men whose knowledge of I-ber is equalled by labor's confidence inthem.

"Mr. Golden and Mr. Keenan have beenhighly recommended for their respectiveposts by C. I. O. President Philip Murrayand A. F. of L. President William Green,"he continued. "Both men have alreadybeen closely associated with this work inWPB and have demonstrated on many oc-casions their practical approach to diffi-cult production problems.

"Mr. Wilson and I are confident thatthese appointments and the reshaping ofour organization in this manner willgreatly strengthen WPB as we enter thenext stage of the war production program.We especially appreciate the action ofPhilip Murra.y and William Green in re-leasing these men to WPB and the helpwhich they and N. A. M. President Craw

ford and U. S. C. of C. President Johnstonhave given in working out arrangementsfor the two new offices.

"With the advice of the Management-Labor Council which represents the fourgreat labor and business organizationsand the participation of leaders from la-bor as well as industry in top policy-making posts, we believe WPB is wellstaffed to carry through the present enor-

mous war production program."

ProductionA moment's thought will show that man

alone can produce nothing. The farmercould not produce a single grain of wheatif the sod and the air and water did notfurnish the materials and if all the forcesof nature did not do their part. Thefactory could not turn out a single ma-chine, if nature had not furnished coaland iron in the mines, timber in theforest, oil under the ground, and all theoher materials that are used up on thefinished product of the factory.

Secondly, the man's effort in the pro-duction of wealth would be very feebleand would produce small results, if he hadto work only with his bare hands. Tomake labor successful and productive, hemust have tools and machinery. This isthe great difference betwen savage peopleand modern civilized nations. The savagecan produce only a few rude necessities,because he works with almost nothingexcept his bare hands. On the other hand,to one who walks through a big factory,with long rows of whirring, noisy ma-chines all abouLt, with only an occasionalworkman here and there quietly atendingto the machines, it seems almost asthough the nachinerv were producingwealth of itself.

The Consractors Association is also distributin this report.

The serious uneploymenh t situation inthe industry is being met by both the con-tractors and the u nion. Due tI tht cornpietion of the governmen s facflity pro-gram during the war about 750.000 build-jug trades w.rker s have ieen released antd,f this number possibly 75.000 electriciansare out of work.

M an.age. ,ct Pht (iyt (..o n ittee has thisto say about indlustria 1I nutiteIanee:

'Industrial majiencanec offers a fruitfurI fhld for ex.ansi.ni and advancemntcof this industry. Already gains have beenmade by this industry in this field, byreason of the fact that electrical conitrac-tots dealing with the union ar .technicallyequipped to perform such maintenancework at less cost anid with m.re efficiencythan other agents. Industrial nlaintenaneewo,'k demands sharp change in p t, aterswithin the indutry, the exlenditure offunds and relinquishmea t of customaryrules. It offers the best .xa..pl of whatthe industry may do by reason of cooperslion, and by following i poli r y of quickadaptation to newv co dlitions. The co1nittee is prepared to explore the full pos-

sibilities in this field and to bring concreterecomnlendationls to the assoition and

to tihe unio in order to net the .erds efthis particular branch of the s-rviee '

The preliminary report makes certainrecommewndations to the electrical industry:

Electricalconstruction leads way. Girdsto meet present and future

problems

"It is plani that if this forncast at allpaints a eorr.e. picture of post'ar con-ditioes ti tO t the electrical constructionindustry in cooperation with otherbranches of the electrical industry mustmake great adjustments. Sone of the ad-justien ts that the committee has in miundare as follows:

"a.Greaten flexibility must be developedby the association and the union inmeeting rapidly changing conditions,

"bGreater teamwork must bet de-veloped between all sections of theelectrical construction industry. In-dividhalism must give way to groujactioe.

"C.More! aceurate inforumlion must becollected and kept constantly on filefir the use of the group.

d. A standing committee must workcoistanty to aiMyze this infrnula-

"e. There must be a sitrng bid on thepart of the electrical constructioni.destry for the cons...e... .o.lal'.

Ther must be group action to affect

the turn of events. Whether the in-dustry decides to do this with astrong advertising campaign orsome other methods, the policy ofsitting and waiting for business tocome along will leave the industryin the hole,

"f. The industry must work out meansof cooperation between the utility,the mannfacturing. the wholesaleand other branches f the electricalindustry,

"~g.There will Ie methods of new co-operation worked out with otherbranches of the constrction tradelike plumbing.

"h. Chss conflicts and sharp policies ofcompetition must give way to oneg.reat drive for ,ooperation.

"i.There mus bh msethoids worked outfor quick contact with govern.mentdepartments because the govern-ment is destined to play an impor-tant part in the affairs of businessmen and of labor uninists in thefuture,'

There is no regime in the world todaywhich is less hlenSogfed by the people wholive under it than the American system.

The course attracted widespread at-tentiun throughout the United States andin other sections of the world, It repre-sented a marked departure fron custo-

HARRY SLAirlRYREA Admntrat oar

NE day early this spring high officialsof the National Rural Electric Co-

O operative Association came to theoffice of Harry Slattery. administratorof Rural Electrification Administration,St. Luis, and demanded that he sign aletter, prepared by them, endorsing eel-taM insurance schemes which they hadcontrived. Mr. Slattery refused. andsoon after this the association, which hasbeen showing an anti-union policy con-tinuously since its organization, began acampaign to drive Harry Slattery out ofpublic life. The most serious charge theycould drum up for the purpose was thatMr. Slattery kept certain "pens.iners onhis payroll."

The officers of the anti-union NationalRural Electric Cooperative Associationare: Steve C. Tate, president; E. J.Stoneman,. vice president: Clyde T. Ellis,executive manager; Charles S. Hoopei,director of Region 1.

INSIDE MAN OUT

Soon after this blast against Slattery,demanding his discharge as director' ofrural electrical affairs, Robert B. Craig,deputy administrator of REA, longknown as an inside man for the RuralCooperative Association, -esigned andleft for Mexicn.

In this encounter a struggle of na-tional significance is enjoined. The RuralCooperative Association organized twoinsuranee companies known as the RuralMutual Fire Insurance Co. and the RuralMutual Casualty Insurance Co. It is thesecompanies that they wanted Harry Slat-tery to endorse, despite the fact that heis a federal official and has no right toendorse aly business enterprise. Thecompanies are set up under the insurancelaws of Maryland, and the officers of theRural Cooperative Association are theofficers of the insurance companies.

The money to organise the!e empanies is to come from the Rural Elec-tric Cooperative Associations themselves,most of whom are operating on federal

NationalRural Electric Cooperative As-sociation, in its attempt to con-trol REA, feels uncomfort-

able

loans. The Rural Cooperative Associa-tion believes that the federal govern-mteat has no ihen on funds coIlected froI.the membership as feumberslp funds,amounting to about $5.00 a person. TheRural Cooperative Association wanto amillion dollars a year collected from themembership funds tI operate the asso-ciathm or operate the insurance co..-panies. There appears to be snea doubtas to whether the companies arc to beowned by the policyholders or by theofficers of the association. This point has11ot been cleared up.

SLATTERY (LEAKS ISSUE

Instead of endorsing this schemle ofthe officers of the National Rural Electrie Cooperative Association to establishthese insuranee comlpaie s upon shoe-strings front the ulls lyg cooperatives.Slattery issued a letter to the coopera-tives, militantly objecting to the organi-zation of these companies. Mr. Slattery'sletter declared:

"Although your membership fundshave not been pledged as security for thegovernmnet loans, it sems appr-opriateand important that I call your attentionto the following matters

"These membership fulds were pro-vided for the purpose of initiating yourproject. canvassing and surveying yoUrarea, perfecting the loan applications toREA and financing certai initial costsbefore loan funds became available. Withrespect to many of these expenditur es whave permitted loan funds to be used forthe purpose of 'eimbunsing the member-ship fund account.

'It has been ou' expectation, however,that these membership funds would bebeld in ... eh form as could easily be Car-verted into cash and it ereby representa cushion for negency needs."

PRIVATE AND PROFITABLE

It is this cushion for emergency needsthat Tate, Ellis and Company have beeneyeing covetously and hoped to finaneprivate insurance comp anies which theyare seeking to organi ze, In one part eftheir prospectus the insurance companliesare described by the officers as "strictlyprivate enterprises." The prospectus alsopointed out that the insurance businessis very profitable- "it is perhaps the

most profitable and stable of any busi-ness in the world.'

The National Rural Elcetric Coopera-tire Association formally came into be-ing at a meeting in St. Louis last Janu-ary. It certainly had the blessing ofRobert Craig. now resigned member ofthe REA. It certainly has followed ananti-n®o course .aid has done everything it could to keep the INTERNATIONALBROT[nERnuoo OF ER RICAL WORKERSfrom enjoying amicable relations withREA cooperatives.

Farm DemocracyThe folkways of nineteenth-century

Anerica, indeed of America up throughthe World War, directed men's endeavormore and mtore exclusively in', the fieldof economic action. As econormi emphasisshifted fronm farming to factory produc-tilo. industrial sucess, personified inthe "captains of industry," became the ob-ject of general respect. At the same timethe affairs of government declined inprestige and the politician became the oh-ject of frequent caricature. City .. cersswas such a nagnet that every year itdlre. lbuidreds of thousands of boys andgirls away from the farms; those whostaved on in the country tried to do onthe farnm the thing that was most likewhat was being done in the city. And theywere generally content to leave politicsand the affairs of government to the law-yes. to the professional politicians toassume that the fmert's business wasprimarily to be a successful farmer.

For this reason, American farmers, asthey evolved from the simple agricultural frontier, did not seem to have adeep, abiding concern for participation inden/ocratic pr.cesses. Rural government.,ounity government and ;t, governmentwont on, hut the number of farmers whohad aggressive, individual concern abouttheir local government, about the otherlevels of government, and about the poli-cies under which they lived their lives,were not vwry many; there a..ere not veymany faner ametmbers of Congress. Veryfew of the agricultural educators of thelast g,.eraton were thinking in terms ofthe total democratic pattern or of a ruralcivilization The education offered in theagricultut al colleges was focused primar-ily on biological science, on the techniquesof agricultural production, and on thevocational side of agriculture But giventhe ur.rent concern with broader nnatters,it see..s probable that agricultural de-mociacy is in the process of working outmore practical demonstrations of itsphilosophy than have been prevalent inthe recent past.

THE importance of electricity. electricpo..er and electrical instailatimns toT the ultimate success of our military

forces is a well-established fact. The parteleetricity and its derivations have takeni the present-day global conflict-both inmajor campaign battles or hlcalized ac-tions-has brought recognition to thisproduct as in no other war.

In carying out its multiple service func-tons, the Quartermaster Corps reles onelectricity to furnish most of the power.Without such power, Quartermaster unit,-clothing, and textile, refrigeratinn.

of these maintenance soldiers to see thatno breakdown oc..rs.

BACKGROUND EXPER1EN('ENEEDED

The training of soldier-eltctririans inthe Army way is carried out at the elec-trkic and radio school, one of the manytechnical schools at Camp Le's quarter-master Replacement Training Center. Asubstantial majority of the trainers as-signed to this school have had some pie-vious experience as electricians, for it isvirtually impossible to turn' out a recruitinto a trained electrician in the limitedtime at hand. Years of theory and prac-tial experience are required, the AArmyunderstands, for expertness. Therefore,the school's principle is to adlpt civilianexperience t) Army needs.

In line with the combat Quartermasterpolliy that the men of the eorps must be

prepared to defend themselves and theirequlpment, the electrician trainee must gothrough a rigid and full basic militarytraining course before he is sent to school.He is trained to know how to handle therifle and the carbine before taken to therange for marksmanship and anti-air-craft practice. He learns the value and thecare of his gas mask, and is instructed inother details of chemical warfare. He ne-gotiates the stiff obstacle course, goes onbivouacs and takes prt in tactical prob-lems. He is first the soldier, then thetechnician.

MUST BE VERSATILE

Since the arduous pace of a battle cam-paign may call for the soldier-electricianto repair almost any type of installation.the trainee is taught in a broad, generalsense rather than in a specialized one.Instru.tion in the electrical and radioschool is both practical and theoretical.Approximately 80 per cent of the time isallotted to practical work- either experi-menting with the various shop machinesor repairing of shop installationstwiththe remaining time devoted to lectures.

At the termination of the course, thetrainee is rated as skilled, semi-skilled, orhelper! according to his skill and versa-tility. His practical schooldig ranges froma preliminary examinabion of basic elec-tricity and magnetism to direct and alter-nating currents, electrician tools, the am-meter and voltmeter. electrical supplies,safety and first aid, wiring methods, ex-tensions and connections, solering, insbidwiring according to the mational Ekle-trical Code, blueprints, .otors, switch-

Probably you read something about theIlot Springs conference of the UnitedNations, dealing with the subject of food.You read that the press was excluded,arid that its feelings were badly hurt,But you probably did not read the planthat was evolved front the deliberations ofa rroup of serious, highly intelligent menand women representing their varousc..unltries. This is of great importance toorganized labor.

TO RAISE REAl. WAGES

The intention is. not merely emergeneyfeeding of the famine-stricken, but alsosuch assistance to agriculture and indus-try as to result in al ever-expandingstalldard of living. The intention is toraise the real wages of wth kel, in everyland and every sction, This means thatlabor in more prosperous rountries. suchas the United States, will not be helddown by competition with p-odructa of

wo'kers in other countries with lowerwaze standards. Right in our own conu,try, it means the aphtfilding of realwages for the sharecroppers and sweat-shop workers of the Southeast.

This trend of thought really started intht xtnatiug. of the Internationtll Labour'Co..ference, a polieymaking bldly with

representatives from labor, employersand governments adjunct to the Leagueof Nations. In 195 this group approved astandard of diet. They approved the prin-ciple of adeuate nutrition for all, as adesirahle goal. Then it was up to the dele-gates, in their various, pheres of in-tluenee, to find means 6f putting thispolicy into action. In tbh United States wehav'e had special assistancer to iedygroups, such as the food stamp plan,school lunch programs, ftree imilk; and wehave also had a great deal of study andeducation in the subject of ntrition,. Infact, this stlay has been so fruitful thatthe dietary standard has been rewrittenby the National Research Council in termsntot only of calorie units of protein, arbo-hydrate, etc., but to include the riousvitsamins and minerals now know, to benecessary to health. This is the standardwhich was adopted by the Hot Springsconfderence.

great incfease in agricultural productLi onwill be necessary in such countrsie asCanada, Australia. the United Staes andall South American coontries, This leansnot only thte tillig of tew areages, butbetter tools, nuachhles, rural eleetrifica-tien, and tidl}ti .... of the producers. ItmealIs the ralisi rg of agriculture's ownreal wages. It my mean the shifting ofproduetio. fiom one type of food . o an-other which is more needed, or to whirhthe land is better adapted,

I'ROBILEMIS AlT EAD

This is a progra. which will keep usbusy for a good long while At presentthe farmers are having a very bad timebecause of Ahor tages of labor and the ma-chines aild tools of production. There willbe a great outlet here for any surplus C

sho, or idllst rial production. Line crewswill be busy setting poles and stringingelectric wires. C..onstruction mell will bebuilding roads, dams, food processingplants, and wa...ehouses.

When this finally gets to swinging,there will he an enormous ttquantity offood. Now what's to prevent disastrousgluts, with rot, waste and destructiot?We nust get it to the people who need it,that's all! And there are so many mit-lions of peoplh, all o1er the globe who alein need of be Wr nutrition, andI who couldcontinue o in.rease their standard of nm-tritiaa and go on increasing it, that the,eal pIoblem only is how to get the foodto their hungry m.ouths.

HE men conen in, an' afther dinner wewint to the stable. Jean an' Julesslipped the halters from the heads av

the two ponderous osew, Bock an' Bright,an' wid voice an' urgin' brought thim outinta the yard where Jean placed the heavy

curved wooden yoke across their necks an'Jules adjusted the wooden U bows tohold the yoke in place. A heavy stonesled, called a stone beat, loaded widchains, bars, spades an' ither implements.was next fastened by a chain to the yoke.By voice alone the docile animals weredriven along the back lane into a field an'across to the stump that was to be pulled.Over the stamp was a stout woden IIti-pod held together at the top by a thickiron plate through which was threaded astrong, upright steel shaft from the topof which ran a stout arm to which theoxen were hitched by a chain. A holewas dug under a main root av thestump, a chain passed argun' an hookedon to the lower, rotatin' end a, theshaft.

STUMP FENCES IN MAKING

Jean shouted a loud "Giddap, Buck!Giddap, Bright"' an' the oxen bernin theirslow monotonous journey roun' an' roun'the tripod. The chain begun to tighten upslowly under the strain an' the root tolift. A little vigorous work wid the bar,spade an' axe an' the stump tilted as theroot broke clear av the ground. Theprocess was repeated on ither roots, an'finally, afther some more hard diggin',an' the loppin' off av the tap root, thestump was pulled clear an' dragged away.That kind av an outfit wuddn't have beenmuch good on the giant stumps out hereon the Pacific Coast, Slim, but wid thesmaller timber av the East it was quiteeffective. The stumps made good fences,

an' in Eastern Canada many av thesefences are still in existence. Wid thimbig, powerful oxen on the end av the longdraw bar, that steel shaft was capableav puttin such a trmendous strain on astump that heavy steel chains wad snapunder it, so to save chains they had todig aro..' an' loosen some av the mainroots, The tripod was mounted on wmodenwheels an' the oxen hauled it into posi-tion over anither stump an' we spent therest av the afthernoon on that wan.

The lsex' nmornin' we were woke upairly by Batee. rmmin' through wan avthe loop holes av the cabin, He racedback an' forth over our beds, an' chitteredso shrilly an' insistently that no moresleep was possible, so we got up. AftherJean scolded him an' fed him a few pea-nuts he whisked himself out av sight,

Afther breakfast, Jean aidl, "Tomor-row, she is Friday, so we is bes' go up decrick an' ketch sor' trout, an' if Julesis kip quiet for letie w'ile, mebbe we issee Id heawer work on de dam." "You is'ear dot, Terry?" said Jules, wid a grin,"w'at tint Jean, de son of mah fader, issay 'bout me? Cut I is nlak' so ,nielb, oftie noise Io dot no wall can 'oar hiise'fspik?

THE BIEAVER DAM

Jules dug some worms, thin we aiwhtack a fish pole an' tackle an' followedJean up the trail along the big crick thatemptied into the river close bryant thehouse. We followed the trail for about amile, thin Jean tuned an' whispered,"Beaver dami, jns' lethie way ahead,mebbe if we is not mak' noise we is seedose beaver." We left our tackle an' creptslowly an' silently afther Jean into aclump av bushes from which we had agood view av the pond an' da,. The damwas mebbe 75 feet or more long, wide atthe base an' slopin' up to the top an' theway it was constructed showed thinbeavers was masters a? the art av buildin'dams. They didn't need a lot av machin-cry, nor have to haul a lot av materialfrom the ends Ia the airth to work wid.No, they jus' used what nature providedthin, wid on the spot-sticks an' brush,worked in tight togither-hinked widmoss, an' plastered over wid a heavy coatav mud that made a good substitute forcement, heavy stones along the top tohould it solid, a V shaped hollow avsticks in the center to control the flowav water, an' there was a dam that wudpass the most rigid beaver specifications.

There was not a sound to be heard, notnyril the fgutter av a bird's wings, an' theslim graceful poplars aroun' the shoremirrored in the calm surface av the watermade a beautiful picture.

Volume XLII WaIhlgtos, D. C., July, 1941 No. 7

Driving Labor No one would think of accusingInto Politics Tories in Congress of having an ul-

terior motive in passing the reac-tionary Smith-Connally Act. It is apparent that thisreactionary measure can have but one effect upon or-ganized labor in this country. It will force labor to rollup its sleeves, found a well-oiled political machine anddrive out of public life every one of the old dodoes whoprate about free enterprise and then begin to enslavelabor with reactionary laws. It will force labor to re-place these men with men of modern outlook, thosewho place the good of the country ahead of shallowpolitical aims.

Seizing upon the pretense of extending the war ef-fort, and seizing upon the opportune moment whenpublic opinion is inflamed against labor, the Tories inCongress have acted with decisiveness. They havethrown down the gauntlet to organized labor.

Perhaps they are underestimating organized labor'sstrength, There are easily 10,000,000 organized work-ers in the United States. At the barest minimum thisis 20,000,000 voters, and 20,000,000 voters are not tobe overlooked in the calculations of calculating politi-cians. What the old dednes in Congress have reallysaid, in effect, is "We don't need the support of or-ganized workers; we will run the nation withoutthem. We will talk free enterprise, but the workingpeople will be bound by crippling laws."

It will be a strange piece of irony, therefore, whenthe new political order, of labor complexion, as it isbound to rise, will be traced to the attacks of Toriesupon the labor movement. Labor has acted honorablyin the present emergency and the no-strike pledge hasbeen kept with surprising unanimity. It has been keptfar better by labor than by business men who havestruck for higher profits repeatedly without exposurefrom the kept press. The same fervent patriotismthat has caused labor to make the no-strike pledgewill throb through labor's efforts to throw off thebonds that the Tories have placed upon it.

Progress In the midst of war, and in the midst ofCongressional reaction, progress is being

made on the firing line (if industry. Recently one ofour local unions signed an agreement with a lighting

Then and It is good for Americans at home to re-Now member. Mrs. Ellen S. Woodward, mem-

ber of the national Social Security Board,speaking in the South recently, said something thatwill hell) Americans remember:

"Actual hunger might seem remote to us of theagriceltural South; but it wasn't remote to manythousands of families in some of our cities and townswhen back in the early Thirties we passed through anunemployment crisis that shook the very foundationsof our republic. Still haunting me are some of thestories I read in the newspapers, or sights I sawwith my own eyes-of children rummaging in garbagecans for food, of veterans selling apples and pencilson the street corners; of hobo camps springing up tomock us all over the country; and of hunger marcherson Washington. Less dramatic than those news storiesbut even more menacing to our future America wasthe slow erosion that ate into the faith and self-confidence of family men and womel, looking formonths in vain for jobs.

"When I look back on those days of suffering I be-come so stirred that I feel I must talk about thisproblem at every opportunity. I cannot sit quietlyby-I must lift my voice against a repetition of thosetragic (lays."

Then Mrs. Woodwvard went on to say that the boyson the fighting front have underwritten a militaryvictory, She believes that Americans at home shouldunderwrite our share of victory on the home front.She believes that one way to do this is to pass aliberalizing social security program that will giveprotection to the unemployed for at least a periodof six months. Soldiers are included in the WagnerSocial Security bill for such benefits.

Soldier A traveler who has gone everywhere in re-Proys cent months said to a representative of the

JOURNAL the other day: "I have never seenany misconduct on the parL of any soldier or sailoror any member of the armed service in any city ortrain of this country," This is sweeping praise, butwe believe it is deserved. Whether it has been thewise training given by the Army and Navy, orwhether it qprings out of the niatral decency of the

274

JULY, 1943

American boy, our soldier boys are boys acting likemen.

They travel under conditions of great discomnfortbut they find ways of meeting these conditions pleas-antly. They sing their songs; they tell stories; theydiscuss real problems. As somebody has said, it is areading army. Our boys are reading and thinking,.and those people who think that such an arm3 iscoming back to civilian life with the same ideas. orthe same motives as they went. are greatly mistaken.These sollier boys, acting like men todayv will Ihthe men of tomrrow. They will take over the re-sponsibility of running the country which they, foughtfor and saved. and it will be a better country.

National Service Labor has not wanted a NationalAct-No Service Act in this country such

as they have in Britain. This deui-siton was prompted by the feeling that the voluntarymethod in supporting the war was better. It was alsoprompted perhaps by the fadl that no labor man hadcabinet rank ill this counfry. But labor is now operat-ing under a clandestine National Service Act. ThisNational Service Act has been created by a series Ofedicts and mandates from the War Manpower Colamission. It fails to give labor the safeguards thatCongressional law woulh give it.

It will be increasingly shown that the edicts setup by the War Manpower (Commission will workhardships upon labor. Whether there has been actualintent on the powers-that-be within and behind thiscommission, many of the liberal measures that grewup around the U. S. Emphlyment Service, when itwas with the Social Security Board, were not actual lyabolished but canceled out. As these edicts begin Iolie applied, there will be push unrest in the laborfiehi, and the War Manpower (Comemission wvil havelo recede from these edicts n r sip more and more co-ercive oles upon labor all of which moves in th,direction of compulsion rather Ihan wise vIiiintary

A Great A great engineer died in June. He hadEngineer made a great contribution to the electri-

cal industir. lie was noted as an inventor.He tinti ,led mm'e than 100 patents in the wire andcaile livld. His name was Otto A. Frederickson, andat the time of his death, he was chief engineer forthi National Electric Products Corporation, Pitts-burgh.

Why does this loss concern members of the INTER-NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF ELECTRICAL WORKERS?Simliy because Otto Frederickson was a great engi-Inei in another direction than wire and cable. He wasa great linman engineer, also, and sincerely devotedhimself to the advancement of good relations betvweenIaijO ts and management.

Earliy in life, Otto Frederickson was a profe ssiolhaseball )player; he brought a spirit of fai' Ida3 andsportsnanshiip to industrial relatiois. He believed iuihe principles of the American Federation of Labor,and struggled to make these work as ardently astInlion leaders. He refused to devote his genius as aninventor to discoveries in elecdricity which eliminatedskill and displaced workers. Ile wanted to build crafts-manship into his products, and he did.

Once, hi the midst of the great depression, he lookhis engineering staff to the New York Bowery, andshowed them bums and down-and-outs-poor wrecksof our economic sysLem--asleep on sidewalks, and hesaid to his staff, "See, these outcasts are monnumentsto vour tailures as engineers. Your job as engineersis to first create jobs, not products."

Ile believed that management should give the samerational consideration to labor relations as to advance-ienit of products.

Otto Frederickson's personality was one of exuber-ant energy. lie virtually worked himself to death,. Hilsservices to the Army and Navy, during the war, hadbeen of inestinlable value to his country. When rub-ber could no longer be used ont wires, he devoted histalents to invention of irlhborless wire of high gradeand usefulness.

Modest, courageous, yoUlhful. Otto Fredericksonwas an incustrial leader of a rare type.

WHO SAYS THE HOME FRONT IS SAGGING?

By A WORKERS WIFE

HE East is certainly taking it onthe chin in this war" said the Ma-

Tjor's wife. She was paying a visit toher old home town, Washington, while herhusband attended a special trainingcourse. "But you seem to be taking it verywell."

"We've had ou troubles, all right, Butthere are coepenabions. We've never. hadsuch neighborliness and good feeling, Wecan't run around with the car much, butwe find that the finest friends we couldever have are right next door."

Of course, "troubles" we have mightlook bad to people in other sections com-paratively undisturbed by war conditions,but when we look across the Atlantic toEurope and England, our difficulties aretrivial and we are getting a certain sati-faction out of overcoming them.

One and a half gallons a week on an Acard, plus the pleasure-driving ban, hasaffected our habits mightily. We who iwoin the suburbs, <distant from stoics, dohave to drive to the market. But there arelittle informal arrangements which saveboth time and gasoline. Three or four wo-men go together, and usually there willalso be small lists to be purchased forothers who need "just a loaf of wholewheat and five pounds of oranges."

There are soni things money won't buy,such as pi essure cookers, tools of variouskinds, household appliances, things nmdeof metal or rubber, But you can do prettywell if you're a trustworthy borrower, thekind who returns things promptly in goodcondition, and who is not averse to doingsome lending in return. Even such a littlething as a metal hair curler is importantbecause it's irreplaceable. Soem of thewomen in my neighborhood have a curlerpool. They used to drive in to the beautyshop, but now there's no gas for that, andno maid to leave with the baby. So theyshampoo under the shower bath and do upeach other's hair with the precouscu1rler's.

We used to drive to a neighborhoodmovie once or twice a week, Now that'sout. Week end trips are out. Even visitsto friends on the other side of town areoff the list. You'd think we didnkt havemuch for amusement. But we have gar-dening. Raising vegetables is rapidly be-coming a national hobby. Out our waymore than half the families have a littlepatch of ground under cultivation. Towatch the plants grow and develoip is ofintense interest. It's a rare pleasure tolook under the leaves and find, suddenly, abig yellow squash ready to eat, Nobody'sproduce coies to maturity at exactly the

same time, so there is considerable givingaway, which adds to good will as well asthe variety of what we put on the table.

Housewives are proud of the growingrows of jars on the shelf. We'll have vege-

tables next vinter, too. Somehow we thinkwe're doing a service to the nation as wellas to ourselves., What canning equipmentis available, is passed from one to anoktheas it is needed.

Living as close together as this. mu-tually dependent to some extent, mightlead to discord. But somehow it hasnt.Tolerance appears to be growing. Wedon't take stock of each other's faults.The people who always take and nevergive back just don't seem, to be aroundany more,. Those who receive favors areonly too anxious to return them. Andthose who are in a position to help todayknow that tomorrow some emergency ]marhave thenm asking help.

Our young lmn are ar eady at war, andothers, the fathers of young children, ex-poet to be called. There is many an un-spoken prayer as people lie down to sleep.But I think we are satisfied that it isnecessary to fight fascism Oni its ownbrutal level, night against might.

So far as ideology is concerned, we are

Bring to a boil one quart water (prefer-ably vegetable water) add about two cupsfresh vegetables of the kinds eadfilyavailable, such as tomatoes, green peas,onions (including the tender green tops),carrots, cabbage, snap beans, limas, corn,turnips, okra,. peppers. Cut or shred intoappropriate size. Do not use beets becausethe color and flavor are too strong.

convinced that our way of thinking is in-finitely higher in the scale of civilizationthan that of Hitler's gang. We know whatwe are fighting for, the opportunity forindividual initiative, based on cooperationand mutu.al trust. This is democracy. Thevaunted New Order, with its slavery, loot,terror and torture, is nothing but a throw-back to a very old and disorderly stagein .n..s progress,.

As long as the home front has this feel-ing of mutual confidence, of pride in atcomplishment, it won't crack up. Maybehere in the East we're better off becausewe've had more obstacles to surmount. Weare doing our best to go along with theregulations, no matter if it is downrightuncomfortable. At least the people I knowbest are doing so.

This is typical, also, of the attitude ofunion merbOers the nation over, Nov thatI think of it, most of the people out ourway who are active in community upluildilg are union .. ebehrs. The unhon .. em-ber finds his security in cooperation withothers in his trade.

Through his labor papers and agae-zines, the union member had a greater'knowledge of the world's danger fromfascism than the average person did, longbefore Pearl Harbor. We knew that theworld wasn't safe until Hitler, the intel-national gangster, was licked good andproper. We arc satisfied that what we arcfighting for is right. We don't expect tohave business, comfort and pleasure asusual during a war which must take somuch of the nation's energy.

What can wreck the home front is asense of injustice, due to coercion, chisel-ing and various forms of discrimination.The union workers who have gone alongloyally on a no-strike pledge have plentyof cause for complaint when they are su.d-denly trussed up with a drastic anti-strike law which also appears to be ananti-union membership law,. After doingits part, by buying bonds and going easyon wage demands, to keep the old wolf,Inflatuio, avway from the nation's door,union labor suspects that other groups areless unselfish.

As a group, A. F. of L. union membershave demonstrated their patriotism inmany ways. They have helped bring pro-duction to high levels. They have led inbond drives, set a conspicuous example inaiding civilian defense and donatingblood. I, every possible way they hav.done their part to jolt the Axis back onits heels. Many members or their sons anddaughters are in the fighting overseas.

Everything was free hut the eats, which therationing lionrd satd must he paid fIr by theguests.

As this epistle hurries to Washington. try-ing to beat the deadline, a certain group ill

that city who Pose as "representatives of thepieepul" has just passed a piece of as-s legi-lation that vi0lates every instinct of a demote-cratic ieephIt.

The una nui ity of the wyrkers was vi-denced by the favorable attitu.o of Presi-dlent John V.

These labor baiters spoiiirei-d I bill requir-ing that a member of a union litlag in anyofficial capacity must be a resiient of thestate for at least a year. and at the sametime tried to bring in a Mr. Ollaniel, Inotorious labor hater from a neighboringstate, to help fight labor.

These bills would limit the amont of luespaid by members; assess 2 per cent tax ona unionsa receipts. forbid U, ions to send

Iore than 25 per cent of their iniomIe out-side the state, and so on. We wonder how thelabor baiters wuhld like to have these restric-tions platld on their unios, aid we knowof coourse 1hy all have their anions, run fortheir own persnal e1,nefit, but they don'twant the laboriig n]n to have his union.

L. U. NO. 654. CHESTER, PA.

Editor: On Thursday, June 24, .. U. No.654 elected the following officers to serve forthe next two years: President. A. D. Smith;vice president, Cordon Anderson recordingsecretary, Robert Stephens; financial sicre-tar}y Clifford Browning; treasurer. WilliamRadbill: executive board officersL S. Austin,Jame. Nutter, John Leisenring, Bfea Reilly,and Lucin Metzger. EIxamining board owieas: Joseph Baker, William Iliaton, CharlesWilliams. Business manager, 3. .. erartChambers, Jr.

Once again in our history haWe we chosenour leaders. It is up to us, the Iembers, tosupport our officers in all constructive meas-ures that may lbe presented to us: to weighand analyze all matters of importance thatmay be brought before us; to decide all queL-lions sansibly and unemotionally, in orderthat we may deci, what is fair and just forthe best interests of the L. B. E. W. and ourlocal union.

All indications point to tha next two y>earsbeing turbulent ones for orgaiized hlbor. Theenormous war profits made by tig businesshave swelled their coffers to the point ofbursting, and believe you nip, they are nvkingplenty of this money talk to the detrimentof the organized worker,

We have recetly witnessed the railroadingthrough (over President Roosecelt's vato) ofthe Connally-Snlth Nill. According to legis-lative records, this is the first time that C(on-gress had overridden the President (luringwartime.

Our President, in outlining his reasons forvetoing this drastic ati-labor bill, spokeof the dangers of fomenting trouble andstrife among the loyal organized workers.whose leaders have pledged (and since re-mewed their pledgci no strikos far the lu ra-tion. To penalire the majority for the actsof a smaIl minority has always been recoRnized as a cardinal sin, and this is Just whatour duly elected members of the House andSenate who voted in favor of this mis-carriage of justice are guilty of.

Unless organized labor awakes and workstogether as a unit more legislation just Itsdrastic, if not more so, will be peasad. and ourbattle will become harder, our conditionspoorer,

Petty, picayun e anrd personal lna tters should

be forgotten and a real united effort on thepart of all of us should he made in order thatwe continue to grow and prosper according tothe ~'Objcts," as outlined on page C oif ourconstituton.

It Is our earnest wish that each and everymtmber of our local union rend and begin topractice the lessons outine d ill this thesis.

We all know whatdamnable reactionary orces are behind all ofthis agitation. aid why, and all of ourfrieuds in Congress and Senate should heurged to light this thing. If we are indeedto be saddled with this petty sample of classlegislation, then let us demand that it he all-embracing and make it apply to every kind oforganization in this country.

Compel every social, religious, fraternal,political or any kind or ,ssreiation to showits trco rds to the public,

Oh, yes, how about SOmie of these warbaby," corporations that have had a mush-room growth since the wair storted and whohave been nursed on taxpayer's money?Would not their books make good reading?

By the way, let us see some of the printedstories of soime of the million dollar lobbiesmaintalmid in Washingoni by the big trustsand corporations.

Wouldn't their stories make an intresatingaddithio to American i terature. and wouldn't

some of the political parasites in Washingtonlose political "face"'?

Let's g6 a step farther and make everyAmerican citizen (flsplay his most secret andsacred affairs to every ocher citizen. What agia!d ¢unisy this will be when every citizencan have his nose in every other citizensbiusinesst

Seriously, things are bad enough rightnow with all of the burtaucratic meddling thatwe already have to endure, so why make itworse by an unfair piece of class legislation?

SENATOR BALL'S RESOLUTIONPOINTS FORWARD

(Continue~d front page gS}

orably, step by step, nation after nation wasswept into this second worhl sar. The gu,-

ernments ser ving those people with all theirdilonary aid all their statecraft. fiaild tosteem the tide. Once again all over the worldmillions of our youth are pouring out theirlives because of that ia lure.

"A new approach, a stronger mechanism.is required to meet this teed of Iumanity,to control this age-old plague of war, Wehave tried in the resoltion 1t set forthclearly and briefly the mniommn essentialson which we believe the Vnited Nationsgreemqent should be sought before the war

lads if we are to have a feir chance of ain-.taining the peace after it ends.

"Mr. President, we are confident today ofwinning the war. We do not have the samecoltArilenee that the United Nations will winthe peace. There is uncertainty adl question-ijn here as to the post-'war policies of Russiaand China and the British ('omionwealth ofNations. And. if we can 'beleve the reportsii our press. there is uncertainty aid ques"tioning in the governmetes of our allies asto what United States post'war foureigpalicy will le.

".A 'art of that uuneertt imty tLyoas i-redtly from the fact that no one knows yetwhat will be the attitude of the United StatesSenate, whose onsent is essentiil utnder the(oInstitution And that is a question onwhich only the Senate itself call speak.

"We helieve the United States wouhl prefer,as its po'st-wd policy, to pe rtieipate itn an

rJ~a nization of'lnatimton dedicated to justlee,dentocracy, and fDir treatment for all Peepies as the most effective and the last erostlymethod of aehieving security fI. oirselves.The only way to find out whether our Alliesere prepared to join us in that eollt'etive 'f-foit is to ask thoe.l But we railnot proposenor sk effectively until the Sellate has in-dIesled its position.

Mr. Preshfdvet, this wat is a total wil. Itis a people's war in whtih all our resourcesand all our pwoples are rangedi agalin thipeoples it r resouir of the Asis, As part fthe legislatile branh of our ioverrumn'nI, wn

are daily demanding unparalleled sacrificesfron our people itl rder fi, wit Victory.

*The people want the Tier.'e to be a people'speace, a perimanoent, de, ' ratie pece., It etlie a people's pIec . (il y if the people deter-nine the hale p rincples. And there is oTnly

one instrtentality th,ough which the peopleof the United States can speak effectively onthis issue. That instrumentality is lhe I'on-gross of the United States."

SPECIAL NATIONAL MEASURESFOR WIDER FOOD DISTRIBUTION

WHEREAS:1. Even in the most prosperous coun-

tries there are many families which can-not afford to buy enough gRood food;

2. In some countries, and at some times,hunger and semistarvation have beenwidespread;

2. This situation has existed even whenaaricut.ura[ prices have been low andwhen large supplies of food have piled upin warehouses or rotted in the fields, andthe problem will not he fully met by gen-eral economic measures to stinulate pro-duction and trade;

THE UNITED NATIONS CONFER-ENCE ON FOOD AND AGRICUL-TURE RECOMMENDS:1. That the governments and authori-

ties here represented accept the responsi-bility of making it possible, so far as it iswithin their power, for each person intheir respective countries who is withoutan adequate diet, to improve his diet inthe direction of obtaining the physio-logical requiroeneils of health, adoptingsuch of the following. or other, measuresas are designed to fit local conditions andinstitutions:

(a) Adequate social-security measures,such a; family allowances, social inunr-ance, and lt minirnt wages;

{b) Some form of direct action to makeprotective foods available free, or at lowprices, to grou . s witlI in'adehuate diets;

(e) Special attention to assisting suchgroups as pregnaet women., .U.si. gmothers, infants, children, aged persons,invalids, and low-paid persons;

2. Th at the diets provided under theseprograms be based upon the best scien-tific information on nutritional needs;

3. That food-distribution measures becoordinated with programs to increasefood production and to bring about ad-justments in grinnIture and fiahingwhich will, on the one hand, encouragethe production aiI distribution of thosefoods most lacking in the diets of thecountry, and adapted to the soils andlimates; and will, on the other hand,

provide an adequate level of lving toperonS e..aged in, farming and fishing;

4. That the pe'manent organization rec-ommended in Resolation II assist the sev-eral governments and authorities in iak-ing surveys of nutnitiojal needs, in help-

ing develop new food-distribution pro-grams, in dksseminating informosne cont-reening those programs, and in aiding toc0ordinato efforts ill this field

SPECIAL INTERNATIONAL MEASURESFOR WIIER FOOD DISTRIBUTION

WIIEREAS:1. The provision of adequate fuod for all

the paople in each nation is primarily theresonibhility of the natint concerned an,

thai this resjm..s.bility will le met primarilyty nnttio nl ieas u res;

2. Nevertheless, undernutrition may conlinuga for lIns: periods 0f tine in certain

itltrrite. while they rre devtloping theiragriculture and industry, and hefore they ireable to produc internally or acquire alroadadequate an.liouts of food to meet the necdRof their people;

IL It is Renerally agreed that it woul hedesirable if arrangements could lit nodewhereby a part of current World food sup-plie. c'uld le used to SUplleneiL Ihe nationalfomi.distrihution programs of certain co.n.

4, Moreover, relatively little atteoaln hashen given in the past to the possiblilities ofdeveloping special measures for wider fooddislrihution. in the international fId;

TIlE UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCEON FOOl) AND AGRICULTURE REC-OMMENDS:

Sonie will cry "Butter to the lilLIentut.!"but to the broader intelligence this is anotlherpart of the dtelnocratic pattern for greaterworld security, based on gret tot security forthe inhividual. Sir John Boyd Orr, all antholity oa nutrition, publishedh af article or"The Role of Food in Post War R.eonstl>aclion" in tha Tnternational Labor Review, Thisartile appeared before the 'on ferene washeld, but there could not h ave been a neateranuraing tI of the gerert aim:

IT is an amazing fact, however, that consumptioncannot long keep the pace since, as industry is now

financed and corporate savings are now effected, the flowof money to consumers does not long keep pace with theflow of goods; and without a full flow of money intoconsumption there cannot be a full flow of goods intoconsumption. The necessary flow of money is notsustained because, when the output is enlarged, producersdo not disburse to consumers, directly or indirectly, anamount of money equal to the final sales price of theirproducts. This failure of industry to provide consumerswith enough money to buy its products is inherent in theprofit system, for all payments by industry to consumersare advances made with the expectation of recoveringfrom consumers all that has been advanced, with profitsin addition.
