College Publishers Representative 420 MADISON AVE. - NEW YORK. N.Y. CICAGO * BOSTON . Los ANGELES * SAN FRANCISCO Member, Associated Collegiate Press, 1945-46 NIGHT EDITOR: CLAYTON DICKEY Coll, tIoeP4 lt epovtei' f peL di/ Air (Corp., Strikes Wwk DAILY OFFICIAL BULLETIN - By Editorials published in The Michigan Daily are written by members of The Daily staff and represent the views of the writers only. Spotlight on Lewis OHN L. LEWIS is up to his old tricks again. On two principal labor fronts he is ready once again for the kind of all-out warfare in which he specializes-and for which he is feared by management and his labor rivals alike. Reinforced with the newly gained prestige of membership in the American Federation of La- bor Council, the president of the United Mine Workers is ready to stage another strike, this one to affeet 400,000 bituminous coal miners. Legally, the scene is set. Acting in full accordance with the stage directions set up by the Connally- Smith War Labor Disputes Act, Lewis has an- nounced that he will lower the final curtain on the one-year-old contract with the War Labor Relations Board on April 1. There's nothing like a good strike-which, incidentally, champions the cause of the working man-to get one's name back in lights again. Losing no time in his campaign to "get back into the spirit of things," Lewis has already announced the issues involved in the coming strike. Among the nine general demands he has made of the soft coal operators are stipu- Iations for higher wages, shorter hours, a health and welfare fund, and the admission of supervisory employees into the union. BESIDES disrupting the bituminous coal in- dustry, the impending strike is establishing a second front for the Murray-Lewis battle of wits. Obviously, there is no love lost between Phillip Murray and John L. Lewis. While Lewis was. outside the immediate circles of the AFL and religiously abiding by the terms of the NLRB contract, he wasn't a source of excessive aggra- vation to the president of the CIO. However, now that Lewis is climbing to the top of the AFL labor hierarchy and is again a man of headlines, Murray has already begun to condemn. Murray is well aware of the fact that Lewis is determined to upset the CIO and that luring out constitu- ent groups would not be beyond his code of ethics. Learning from past experience that Lewis invariably relies upon name-calling in his cam- paigns, Murray has stated that he expects vo- ciferous accusations of communism breeding within the ranks of the CIO to constitute a ma- jor portiou of Lewis' statements to the press. Lewis will then shout that the interests of the working man will best be served by the AFL which fosters the principles of Americanism. (It will be discreetly and conveniently forgot- ten that Lewis had a share in formulating CIO ideology and that Philip Murray has strong- ly opposed radicalism in labor organization.) LEWIS is determined to win his demands. Chief stumbling-block will be the new federal wage-price policy, recent product of Economic Stabilization Director Chester Bowles, which guarantees industry its 1936-39 profit average with no general raising of ceilings and also re- instates wartime wage controls. No wage in- crease not approved by the War Stabilization Board can be used as a basis for price increases. - -ri ,, nr.ce n amount t ohni t gixty ner cent A LLEGIANCE from the inhabitant and protec- tion from the government are corresponding obligations, dependent upon each other, so that while the allegiance of every inhabitant of this territory, without distinction of color or class, is due to the United States, . . . the correspond- ing obligation of protection is at the same time due by the United States to every such inhabi- tant, without distinction of color or class . ." A resolution containing the above words was adopted by the House of Representatives on February 11, 1862. For eighty-four years the principle involved has been a subject for ridi- cule by police, judges, legislators, and private citizens. The police have violated it; the judges have ignored it: the legislators have condemn- ed it; and the private citizen has forgotten it. The words are yet in the records ... all those who see them can tell that we intended to be a great nation. THE END OF THE CIVIL WAR meant the be- ginning of the Ku Klux Klan. It meant the beginning of a cowardly and ruthless campaign against the Negro and his white allies among the poor farmers. But the National Government did not at that time allow the campaign of ter- rorism to go unopposed. Federal troops were dispatched; martial law was instituted. This just program of enforcing the laws lasted for ten brief years. The election campaign of 1876 witnessed the selling-out of the Negroes for political reasons. The same sell-out is still be- ing made ... the politicians are in business at the same old stand. The end of World War I was again the signal for race riots--East St. Louis, Chicago, Atlanta. Then came World War II-more dying to be done, and who was better fitted than the Ne- gro?-so the politicians, with many bands and flags and with their hands over their hearts, once more soulfully asked all patriotic Americans to fulfill their obligations to their mother land. The obligations were once more fulfilled .. . the men who were on Buna and with the Air Corps in Italy and driving trucks on the Burma Road will all add that the Negro troops ful- filled their obligations . . . and now the payment is being made. On February 5 in Freeport, L. I., a city po- liceman shot two unarmed Negro veterans to death in a restaurant. He was exonerated by the Grand Jury. This was partial payment. ON February 25 a lynch mob attempted to in- vade the Negro section of Columbia, Tennes- see. They were pursuing another Negro veteran who had struck a white man. This white man was attacking the veteran's mother. When the mob was repelled, the state police gladly assum- ed responsibility. These state police fired thirty- four machine-gun bullets thru an empty barber shop and stole $50 from the cash register. They then wrecked an unoccupied drug store and again looted the till. They then annihilated a funeral parlor and painted a two-foot high KKK on the best coffin. They then arrested 100 Negroes Loan Advantageous UNLESS we provide monetary support for Brit- ain's shaky financial structure, its collapse will result in an economic earthquake burying us in another world-wide depression. This interdependent prosperity has been over- looked by Anglophobes in Congress who can't see past a dual prejudice, one against "Uncle Shy- lock," the other against foreign loans. Combine the two, and you have a bloc blind to the reasons for lending $3,750,000,000 to Great Britain de- spite her promise to pay us the principle in full plus 2% interest after 1951. We feel safe in agreeing with Senator Alben Barkley of Kentucky who considers the propo- sition a "cold-blooded business deal." The case is simple. We have everything to lose includ- ing our best pre-war customer if we refuse; we have a workable international credit system to gain if we advance the cost of one week's American production. WE NOW POSSESS three billion dollars worth of left-over war property of value to us; it would be purchased by Great Britain if she had the wherewithal. Even the layman will admit that if we want to sell, we must buy, that the gap in this vicious economic circle is filled by the sound principle of buying more than we sell in order to collect debts. Thus the success of Britain's convalescence is our safeguard against financial disintegra- tion. Perhaps there is some justification in the British argument contending that we are driving a hard bargain; since in return for the loan, a liquidation of the sterling area's pool would give American business a chance to sell to countries like India. With Britain's pledge to reduce trade barriers, restrict cartel opera- tions, and remove other obstacles to interna- tional commerce, trade on a non-discrimina- tory basis would be realized. A denial of the loan, on the other hand, would stimulate the organization of an inelastic trading bloc in which Britain would be forced to resort to every kind of scheme to insure a free influx of imports. Therein is the reason that our politi- cal economists keep a cautious eye on our cap- tious, questioning Congress. -Phyllis Zorn for the rioting. Two of those held were shot to death in jail. This was partial payment. It will be asked if Iam recommending the dis- patch of Federal troops to Tennessee. The an- swer is that I am recommending any action which may be necessary to guarantee these people their constitutional rights. A state of riot clearly existed, and the state government had not only proved itself unable to cope with the situ- ation, but in a very real sense it had CREATED the situation. Any government which fails to protect its citizens has forfeited its final claim to their allegiance. Since the basic duty of any government is to provide just this protection, any government which fails to provide it has actually ceased to function, has ceased to exist as a government. Bt of course no Federal troops will be sent . . . Boss Crump's machine in Ten- nessee never fails to deliver the required number of Democratic votes. Nor can we expect much more from the State administration in New York . . . Gover- nor Dewey will doubtless offer his regrets and condolences, and it will be implied that any further discusssion on the subject would be in bad taste. EACH DAY is more clearly demonstrating the moral bankruptcy of both major parties on any issue affecting tW Negro. In election years they vie for top honors in promises, and then they team up to quietly scuttle any bill for an FEPC. The only course open to those who stand for justice is the creation of a tremendous mass movement which will sweep all of the Congress- men back to those county court-houses they came from. These violations of the law in Freeport and in Columbia are too flagrant to pass unproested. Freeport and Columbia are the kinds of partial payment for which amends must be made. -Ray Ginger MERRY-GO-ROUND-: Surprise Approva I By DREW PEARSON WASHINGTON - When former Congressman Joseph E. Casey of Massachusetts, now a TWA executive, was in Ireland recently to attend the Memorial services for the late Cardinal John Glennon of St. Louis, he had several discussions with Prime Minister Eamon De Valera and Sean O'Kelly, President of the Irish Free State. He especially talked about the proposed $4,400,000,- 000 U.S. Loan to Great Britain. Much to Casey's surprise, both De Valera and O'Kelly told him that they strongly favored the British loan and sincerely hoped Congress would approve it. The loan would greatly help the economic stability of Great Britain, the Irish leaders argued, and this in turn would aid Ire- land, which is dependent on Britain for most of its trade. NOTE-Ireland ships large quantities of but- ter, eggs, ham, and other farm products to the British market; also linen. Expensive Dinner Some Democratic bigwigs in Washington are hot under the collar about having to pay what they consider a double price for the $100 Jack- son Day dinner, to be held next Saturday. Last year, the Jackson Day Dinner in Wash- ington was canceled because of Roosevelt's death-but after a great many of the $100 sub- scriptions to the banquet were already in. Some members of Congres had purchased as many as 10 seats for the banquet, meaning that they shelled out $1,000. Since they didn't get their money back, some of these politicoes think that the tickets they bought for last year's canceled dinner should be good for this year's affair. However, the Democratic National Committee has replied, "no soap." It is telling the disgrunt- led politicoes that the tickets they bought for the 1945 dinner were technically subscriptions to "the $100 club," and they will have to dig down again if they want to attend this year's dinner. Diplomatic Chaff Henry Wallace will take a very strong position against Winston Churchill and against this country's spearheading the current inter-nation- al crises. Wallace will suggest that the United States mediate between Russia and Great Bri- tain rather than take a chance on ruining the United Nations before it gets started . . . last. week Jimmy Byrnes and Secretary of War Pat- terson spoke to the House Military Affairs Com- mittee on the troubled international situation. However, both Byrnes and Patterson were not as frank as they might have been. If the crisis deepens and they tell Congress the truth, peace- time military conscription legislation will be re- ported out and passed in a week . .. Gen. Jacob Devers, head of the Army Ground Forces, plans to move a lot of desk officers back to active field duty in the next few weeks to provide the nuc- leus of a large field force-just in case President Truman decides to recall several million dis- charged combat veterans for a show of strength against Russia . . . French Foreign Minister Bi- dault is putting presure on the State Department for a still stronger stand on Franco. While the State Department is moderately willing, the La- bor Government in England balks. The Laborites are getting more like Tories every day. (Copyright, 1946, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) To the Editor: Sunday's editorial on 'Glamour- Myths" contained many mendacious facts, a few of which I would like to clarify. It is true that the flyers did "live in fame," but many went "down in flame," as the song also suggests. The total losses for the Eighth Air Force exceeded the maximum strength of the groUi for any onel period of time. Is Mr. Haisha inti-3 mat lug vain? that these losses were in "Many targets, which according to public relations officers were 'ob- literated', could still offer resis- tance on the following day" is a phrase which shows complete ig- norance of American methods ofI precision bombing. Security mea- sures prohibited the naming of1 specific targets, consequently the general public and the infantry re- ceive the false impression that the same targets were being bombed. Actually targets in the close vici- nity were "wiped-out." As to the' German's ability to remuster the Luftwaffe, one statement will dis- prove the fact. Not one single Ger- man aircraft resisted the invadingl bombers on D-Day. "When the Air Corps comes, every- body runs for cover." What gross un- gratefulness on the part of the ground, t roops, since one hundred bombers were lost in the tactical bombing of the St. Lo break-through. Moreover, during the "Battle of the Bulge"I many of these same ground soldiers1 prayed for clement skies so that the so-called inefficient flyers could ~come to the rescue." Call the flyers glamour-pants, call them Joe Hollywood, call them any sort of name; but do not call them unsucessfuI. August C. Bolino Mtore on Yff To The Editor: Don Ervin's letter, which appeared in the Daily recently, has just come to my attention, -and believe me, it needs some attention. To begin with, suffice it to say that his thought processes have created a very strange- mixture of praise, condemnation, and incoherent logic, which would con- fuse even Mr. Ervin if he took the time to read his masterpiece. At 'the outset it seemed to be a very righteously indignant answer to the ridiculously petty letter of Carl Kaufmann's about the displeasing Youth For Christ posters. Then, for no apparent reason, Ervin goes off on a tangent to say, "YFC rallies are conducted with mainly an emotional appeal to be saved," and indicates he does not believe it is necessary to doI it that way. I humbly inquire, is not religion essentially a spiritual emo- tion? Following this he makes the state- ment that, "-the teen-age group is old enough to learn some of the facts of life and deserves more than the Youth For Christ movement has to offer". Question: How are the facts of life related to the YFC-hmm? This last really spurred me on to see what was ticking in the rest of the. article. Obviously, the thought (?) processes were "unusual". Mr. Ervin continues, "There are countless church laymen who be- lieve that the best thing in life is to be saved. What about service?" Very nice, but what about service? Is that not more of a prerequisite for salvation than the result? Ab- solutely no foundation for such reasoning. He said also, "The idea that it is only necessary to believe and accept can lead people to a great many un- Christian actions". Frankly, I didn't, and still don't, get that either. Is it likely that one who really accepts and believes will be led to un-Christian actions? This was really getting good. In addition, Our Boy says, "Some people don't realize what the church can do if they meet it half way." It might be pertinent to remark-how about all the way? This one too, was a gem: "Youth For Christ disgusts thousands of thinking men and women who, un- fortunately, identify the Christian Church with out-dated fundamenta- list concepts." That was one for a psychiatrist. Mr. Ervin concludes, "That part of the church which has a workable program for the personal, local, na- tional, and international application of Christian ideals should receive the active support of everyone." Ambig- uity reigns. What part of the church does he refer to? Is not YFC a church program? And my conclusion, Mr. Editor. is that there ought to be a law . -R. C.
