INDUSTRY-WIDE BARGAINING:

Pro...

HILE BEATING LABOR over the head
for allegedly associating with Commu-
nists, Congress seems to be doing its utmost
to push labor into the Red camp.
Unions perform vital social, as well as
economic, functions-they give the working-
man "a feeling of belonging;" they provide
him with equal strength, through the union,
with the big employer; and they give the in-
dividual workingman, who is in a weak
bargaining position, a spokesman who can
stand up to the big boss who has greater
control of the market. Without the unions
to represent workingmen as a group, the in-
dividual employe would not only be in an
unequal bargaining position, but would be
forced to turn to some other organization to
satisfy his social needs.
nstead of strengthening the authentic
functions of unions, the House and Senate
labor bills are destroying labor's emotional
outlet. Not stopping at removing the de-
structive union practices, such as secondary
boycotts and jurisdictional strikes, the labor
bills would destroy the good with the evil.
By banning the involuntary checkoff sys-
tem, limiting the union shop, and in the
House bill, almost completely banning indus-
try-wide bargaining, Congress would damage
the unions' effective service to labor.
Diligent though Congress may be in exam-
ining the evils of Communism, it has failed
to learn an important lesson. Communism
in America will succeed only by gaining the
backing of American labor. As long as labor
is satisfied with its position under capitalism,
Communism will not be able to gain a foot-
hold. Only when labor feels that it can no
longer hold its own through the unions, will
there be a real danger of its turning to
Communism.
The best prevention against the infiltra-
tion of Communism is not to provide, as do
both Senate and House bills, for denying
collective bargaining rights to a union if any
of its officers could "reasonably be regarded"
as a Communist or a Communist sympa-
thizer. Rather it is a constructive attitude
directed towards strengthening the unions'
legitimate services to labor.

NIGHT EDITOR: DICK MALOY
Truman Doctrne
HE TRUMAN DOCTRINE has been an-
nounced as a new step in American for-
eign policy, but there are some things about
it that smack strongly of our pre-war isola-
tionism. It is true that we have given up
our old isolationist policies in regard to
Europe as a whole, but we are now in the
process of erecting barriers between our4
selves and the only nation besides our-
selves that really matters on the inter-
national scene.
We now realize that oceans no longer
can serve as barriers between the United
States and the affairs of the rest of the
world. We have abandoned our isolation-
ism far enough to take an interest in the
affairs of western Europe and the Orient
while at the same time we have isolated
ourselves from the U.S.S.R.
This is not meant to be an excuse fox
the Russian policy toward the United
States. The Truman Doctrine is a direct
result of Russia's attitude toward the poli-
cies of our country. If we had not had
this hang-over from our pre-war isolation-
ism, I doubt that the Truman Doctrine.
Would have been as strong as it is or that
it would have met with the approval of the
majority of the people, which it apparently
has done.
Working under the Truman Doctrine, the
state Department is bound to take some

action which will make the continuation
of friendly relations with Russia very diffi-
cult.
This outgrowth of our old isolationism
may have effects even more drastic than
its antecedent.

Con...
THE ECONOMIC PATH America is pur-
suing as a result of her bitter labor-
management strife was marked out by Hen-
ry Wallace in a recent speech which urged
the nationalization of the coal industry un-
der a governmental authority.
The former vice-president's suggestion is
his answer to the problem of supplying coal
which the world needs so badly "that neither
the obduracy of the operators nor the stub-
born will of John L. Lewis should be allowed
to cause the infinitude of suffering and
paralysis which would result from a coal
strike."
Wallace has indicated the course cor-
rectly. Unless labor and management de-
velop closer viewpoints, the threat to the
welfare of Americans will likely bring na-
tionalization of key industries and simul-
taneously crack the door to a government-
regulated economy, for the argument ap-
plies wherever the well-being of the people
is in jeopardy.
But will nationalization of the coal in-
dustry insure a steady supply? Great Brit-
ain's experience belies it. Human suffer-
ing and annoying inconvenience were not
enough to discourage prolonged strikes dur-
ing one of Britain's severest winters.
Wallace has arrived at this acknowledge-
ment of the failure of labor and manage-
ment to provide indispensable products be-
cause he insists on the right of labor to in-
dustry-wide bargaining, the weapon which
cripples an entire industry and endangers
the very livelihood of countless Americans.
It is evident that organized labor, now
riding the back swing of the pendulum, has
too much power. Legislation prohibiting in-
dustry-wide bargaining would eliminate the
widespread effects of country-wide strikes
while reserving the strength of labor inher-
ent in collective bargaining. If the power
remains one-sided, it is not inconceivable
that labor will strike private enterprise out
and bring up a mighty weak hitter, state
socialism.

PD RATHER BE RIGHT:
Wanted: Laughter
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
AS TO WHAT IS WRONG with American
foreign policy, one might murmur that
it has perhaps too much Cotton Mather in
it, and not enough Roger Williams. It could
also use more Mark Twain, Jack London
and Walt Whitman. These not very learned
allusions are only an indirect way of stat-
ing that American foreign policy suffers
from a certain moralistic grimness and a
nervous fanaticism, neither of which quali-
ties is very typical of us as a people.
Any foreign policy which ignores the
broad currents of tolerance and laughter
in American life, cannot be truly represen-
tative of what we are,. and have almost al-
ways been. We are closer now to the un-
smiling McKinley than to the Lincoln who
used to tell jokes. We are having a field
day for the stuffed shirts and the twopenny
moralists, for unenlightened respectables
and eager conformists.
Once upon a time our little adventure in
support of the Greek throne would have
been laughed at (in our name and on our
behalf) by a Mark Twain, an Artemus Ward,
a Bill Nye, a Petroleum V. Nasby, a Charles
Battell Loomis and a Finley Peter Dunne.
Great mockers these, and we loved them,
and they loved us, for we were sufficiently
secure inside our American selves not to b
unduly alarmed by humor that ran athwart
the current of the time.
Today a joke on this score would be treat-
ed like a joke at a funeral; lower lips would

tremble in outrage and dismay. We hardly
have an American irreconcilable- left to our
names, and we are confined to the weak
humors of conformity.
The chief single victory the Bolsheviks
have won has been to impose their own sul-
len, sodden mood upon our. entire age, so
that we are reduced to fighting them with
emotional weapons which are, in effect,
theirs and not ours.
Perhaps the greatest cultural change in
the last two generations is that we have
shifted from a time when our leading writ-
ers used gayly to fight deep current pre-
judices, to a time in which they morosely
express and articulate them.

MATTER OF FACT:
Master Plan
This is the last of three columns summarizing
Stewart Alsop's conclusions after three months
in the Middle East and England.
By STEWART ALSOP
IF THE "TRUMAN DOCTRINE" of con-
taining Soviet political imperialism is to
succeed, it must be followed to its logical
conclusion. And if it is to be followed to its
logical conclusion, the United States must
have some new technique for implementing
it financially. One reason why this is so
may be sensed from the remark of one ex-
perienced British diplomat in the Middle
East. The Americans had made a hard
choice in the Greek-Turkish aid policy, but
the only possible choice. "But my God,"
he added, "what a way to go about it!"
No doubt in the back of his mind was
the startling contrast between the British
financial approach to the Greek problem
and the new American approach. So quiet-
ily was it done that only after the Greek
crisis came to a head did it become known
that since the end of the war, counting all
expenditures, the British had poured into
Greece the fantastic total of $760,000,000 in
the pound-sterling equivalent.
This British reaction is interesting only
in that it serves to demonstrate the basic
weakness inherent in the present tech-
nique of implementing American economic
foreign policy. The British themselves,
as their leading economists in Greece
were willing to admit, made a vast mis-
calculation in handling their economic
policy in Greece; they attempted unsu-
cessfully to buy time in installments,
and without any master plan, against an
over-all world settlement. The United
States cannot afford to make the same
mistake on a world scale.
For it is obvious that what is true of Greece
and Turkey is likewise true in many other
parts of the world; in Korea, in China, in
the Middle East as a whole, possibly in Italy
and France. If the "Truman Doctrine" is
to work it must be applied, according to a
well thought-out master plan, in these and
other parts of the world. But no master
plan is possible if there is to be a piece-
meal approach.
Yet no instrumentality now exists for pur-
suing any other course. The chief finan-
cial instruments are the Export-Import
Bank and the World Bank. One is Ameri-
can, the other international (although as
the biggest investors in the World Bank
the American influence there is evidently
preponderant). Aside from the fact that
neither institute has much left in the kitty,
both suffer from the same limitation. For
a reasonable certainty of the return of
money lent is a requirement for both.
Reduced to its simplest terms, the rea-
soning behind the developing American
policy runs like this: As long as the pres-
ent post-war economic misery continues
the opportunity for world-wide expansion
of the Soviet Union through the medium
of its political instrument, the Commu-
nist parties of the world, continues.
Therefore, just as it is in the interest of
the Soviets that this misery goes on, so
it is in the interest of the United States
to make a determined effort to get the
war-wrecked economy of the world back
on its feet. There is nothing academic
in this assessment.
Two recent developments underline the
urgency of the crisis which threatens the
Western World. One is the growing mone-
tary crisis described in a recent report in
this space. The other is the mounting evi-
dence that the Communist party line is
about to make one of its historic shifts.
The real meaning of the French crisis is
that there is now a strong likelihood that
in those countries where their hold over
the labor movements is tight, the Commu-
nists may soon discard their policy of off-

again-on-again collaboration with govern-
ments of which they form a part, and use
their power in the labor movements to re-
duce the slowly recovering national econ:
odies to chaos.
In this situation the United States has a
choice. Either we can withdraw nervously
into continental isolation, close our eyes and
cross our fingers, or we can follow the "Tru-
man Doctrine" to its logical conclusion, with
the hope that in a reasonably stable and
economically sound world situation a true
world settlement with the Soviet Union can
be made. If the latter choice is the Ameri-
can choice-and it is the only choice which
does not lead either to surrender or to an
American version of Fascism-it has a real
chance of success, but only if certain con-
ditions are fulfilled. One condition is a
working partnership agreement with a re-
covering Great Britain. Another is a prac-
ticable master plan bald on the grim reali-
ties of the world economic situation rather
than the present method of attempting fev-
erishly to snuff out fires already well start-
ed. A third is the authority-and the mon-
ey- to carry this master plan through to
completion. And the last is a determina-
tion of the American people, in the dark
days which are surely coming, to see
through to the end what they have now
started.

West Lodge Cafeteria
To the Editor:
WOULD YOU kindly print the
following letter of apprecia-
tion regarding the West Lodge
cafeteria which was sent to Mr.
Shiel, business manager of the
residence halls.
Dear Mr. Shiel:
In behalf of the Willow Run
chapter of the AVC, I wish to
thank the University Residence
Halls for the efficient way it has
taken over the operation of the
West Lodge cafeteria.
The quality of the food has al-
ready improved very noticeably
while the over-all cleanliness con-
trasts sharply with the conditions
prevalent under the former cafe-
teria management:
I want to compliment' in partic-
ular those people who worked so
hard to change the cafeteria into
a good eating place within the
short space of two days last week.
Miss Kathleen Hamm, head dieti-
cian, Mr. Leonard Schadt, your
assistant, and the one hundred or
more people - janitors, cooks,
dieticians et all -- who came out
from the residence halls and work-
ed overtime to accomplish this
feat deserve special commenda-
tion.
We realize also that it is very
difficult to obtain absolutely
smooth operation at the very be-
ginning of a new venture. As time
goes on, we feel sure that minor
complaints that some people still
have will be ironed out.
AVC, however, is not just a
"gripes" organization. Its pr-
pose, so wellstatedin our slogan
"Citizens first, Veterans second,"
is to help build a better commun-
ity (locally as well as nationally
and internationally). We try our
best to approach our task objec-
tively and to cooperate with what-
ever groups are striving for this
betterment.
It is for this reason that I want
to offer the full cooperation of
our chapter in helping to better
the University community out at
Willow Village. In a conversation
with Mr. Schadt yesterday, I
learned that twelve or fifteen more
students are needed to work eve-
nings at the cafeteria in order to
provide more efficient service. I
can inform you that our food
committee, which took the survey
last month, is going to try to re-
cruit this help for you.
Let me again express our ap-
preciation for the good food now
available. If there is anything
more we can do to help, please do
not hesitate to contact me or Wil-

New Type of Society
To the Editor:
HAVE JUST recently been re-
reading some of the essays of
Eric Gill, the noted British artist
and writer. I would like to call
his book of essays, It All Goes To-
gether to the attention of those in-
dividuals who are dissatisfied with
the capitalistic system as it exists
today and who are yet unwilling
to concede the fallacious assump-
tions upon which communistic and
socialistic societies are based.
Eric Gill, while affirming his be-
lief in the basic right to freedom
,f the individual, is not willing to
admit that the capitalistic or
manufacturing system is the best
possible system for the free work-
ing-out of man's individual des-
tiny. He proposed a type of so-
ciety wherein the small, compact
community is' the center of life.
Individuals then have a part in
creating and making things. They
cease to be robots in huge ware-
houses where they take no interest
in their work or the completed
product and where they are no
longerconsideredas human be-
ings, but as "hands" to be hired
and fired like mechanical men.
These ideal communities of his
would not be set up by force and
artificially created as are the "col-
lectivist" farms of Soviet Russia,
but by a willing withdrawal of in-
dividuals from the large cities in-
to the country where they estab-
lish their oWn communities. These
small communities would have
small shops where the workmen
coudnderive some joy from wit-
nessing their own creation of ar-
ticles. The people would have
their own theaters and song
groups. They would see the fin-
ished product of their hands.
I know that the first protest
one would hear to this type of
living would be: "But your stan-
dard of living would go way down"
Perhaps your standard of. living
would go down. But you would al-
ways have enough or more than
enoughtoeat, and clothes to wear.
And best of all you would be hap-
py. And it wouldn't take much
doing to make people happier than
they are today, especially the peo-
ple that are working daily in the
great factories in Detroit, where
each year a strike threatens for
higher wages when it is not really
higher wages or shorter working
hours people want. They desire
their lives and work to mean
something more than the mechan-
ical, brutal striving towards the
grave that it is now.
People will never be happy as
long as they place their ultimate
felicity in the possession of an
automobile or a refrigerator. It
is only when they are doing the
work for which they are suited and
which they want to do that they
will be at peace. More money and
shorter hours would only mean
more money spent in the beer-gar-
dens of Detroit, for as Bernanos
says: "The workingman buys beer
instead of bread, because beer
gives illusion and bread does not."
It would be ridiculous for any one
who believes in the ultimate per-
fectibility of the standard of liv-
ing to read these essays because
he is probably unaware of any
dichotomy in the lives of the in-
dividuals around him. But I feel
it would be a provocative book for
anyone who wonders how long he
has between wars, as it were.
