.m1erica's Future ,
Shaped By Unions..
.6
MERICA'S FUTURE is being shaped
at this moment by an organiza-
tion that has fought long, and because it has
had to, hard, against fear and against want.
The American labor union is shaping this coun-
try's future because it, far beyond any other
group in our democracy, has put the theoretical
meaning of democracy into actual and powerful
practice.
During the past week two hundred' members
of UAW-CIO were in Ann Arbor, attending a
series of classes dealing with problems of inter-
nal union government and union relations with.
ianagement. Professors, union leaders and gov-
ernment representatives spoke to them. Intently,
seriously, these labor representatives studied,
trying to become more certain themselves of the
meaning of their union, because sheer self-
defense organization against management is not
the most important thing in labor unionism
today.
AR MORE IMPORTANT is their organization
for living together. Union members have ac-
cepted the simple truth of man's brotherhood-
the thing people tell of in the Bible. They have
found the deep moral basis of life, wherein indi-
vidual rights and freedom are as nothing com-
pared with the rights and freedom of a group.
The knowledge union men have found comes
much more slowly to the owners of machines
and factories, but it will come in the American
future that is being formed now within the
union structure.
In his great speech of last May, Vice-President
Wallace expressed the thing that union men and
women know to be true and which they are de-
termined to carry through. He said then:
I say the century on which we are entering-
the century which will come of the war--can
be and must be the century of the common
man. Everywhere the common man must learn
to build his own industries with his own hands
in a practical fashion. Everywhere the com-
mon man must learn to increase his produc-
tivity so that he and his children can eventu-
ally pay to the world community all that they
have received. The methods of the nineteenth
century will not work in the people's century
which is now to begin.
The CIO program of "Equality of Sacrifice,"
adopted in April at a national convention in De-
troit, is a statement in other words of Mr. Wal-
lace's message. But more than that, it is also a
definite plan of action, the "common man's"
platform for the pregnant years to come.
- Henry Petersen
WASHINGTON-Congressional investigators
spent weeks and thousands of the taxpayers'
dollars probing the burning of the French luxury
liner Normandie, However, the investigators
missed one significant item which needs a lot of
explaining.
In every ship conversion contract let by the
government there is a clause fixing the financial
liability of the contracting company, to cover
damages to the ship traceable to neglect and
other causes. u
Liability is computed according to the size and
value of the ship. In the case of big vessels the
sum runs high. For example: The Robins Dry
Dock and Repair Company of Brooklyn, N.Y.,
which converted the U.S.S. Manhattan into a
troopship, was put under a $1,000,000 liability.
The same conipany got the original Normandie
contract. Yet, strange as it may seem liability for
the Normandie was only $300,000. The Norman-
die is three times bigger than the Manhattan,
but the Robins company's liability was three
times less.
Insiders, who have seen the Normandie con-
tract, are mystified about why the Navy fixed
the liability for its conversion so low. And the
Congressional investigation said not one word
about this.
GOP Money Men
A group of big-money Republicans held a se-
cret pow-wow in New York recently to discuss
raising a multi-million-dollar campaign chest
for this year's elections, and bringing new blood
into the National Committee's headquarters.
Among those present were Lewis H. Browne,
head of Johns-Manville, who presided at the
meeting; Chester Colby, head of General Foods,
who agree in May to be chairman of the GOP
Finance Committee but changed his mind on the
advice of business associates; Ernest Weir, Penn-
sylvania steel magnate; Joseph Pew, oilman boss
of the Pennsylvania GOP, and Sinclair Weeks,
Boston banker and National Republican Treas-
urer.
All were friendly to Natnnal Chairman Joe
Martin, who was not present. However, some
were not enthusiastic about Clarence Budington
Kelland, author of wild-West stories, whom Mar-
tin appointed GOP press chief last year.
Kelland has been under fire from anti-isola-
tionists within the GOP for a long time. Press
elements with close Republican ties also have
been critical of him. Some of the GOP money-
men expressed the view that Kelland should be
replaced at national headquarters with a smart
young party leader who is experienced in prac-
tical politics.
Strongly favored for this was Ken Wherry,
The
(4ikt teq'
P~en
Today the Pen points at us, for a change, and
particularly at our Torquemada-he of the
grinding axe.
In Friday morning's Daily, the Torq sharpened
his axe, wound up and let it go at the necks of
the incoming schoolteachers with a vigor that
would have done justice to his namesake, the
head of the Spanish inquisition. There was
nothing personl nor intentionally malicious in
the column. Nor does the Torq have anything
against schoolteachers in general-he is going
to be one himself (he hopes).
But the axe was much too sharp, nevertheless.
Even the Torq thinks so now. And so, although
it hurts, we turn the Pen upon ourselves and-
we apologize. - The Managing Editor
Physical Training
Is Indispensable . .
W HAT WAR should not mean the
scrapping of physical .education
programs but rather redoubled efforts along
these lines should be quite evident.
The contribution of physical education to na-
tional preparedness is being exemplified daily by
exploits of members of our armed forces and by
the stamina and courage being shown by our
civilian defense organizations. Physical educa-
tion has, indeed, become a necessary part of
American culture and that part has become in-
creasingly important since the outbreak of war.
T HE NECESSITY for greater individual physi-
cal fitness to meet new demands for mental
and physical stamina is rightfully being recog-
nized by everyone interested in national pre-
paredness. If you don't think so, just ask one of
the boys down at Ferry Field any afternoon in
the week.
You might now inquire as to the more specific
benefits accruing to the individual and the na-
tion as a whole as the result of a program of
physical conditioning. The answer is revealing
and convincing.
INVESTIGATION and observation by experts
in the field of body training here at the Uni-
versity have resulted in the opinion that regular
exercise should:
(1)promote harmonious, body development;
Nebraska State Chairman, one of the most ag-
gressive go-getters among the younger party
leaders.
Last winter, when there was inner party talk
of naming a new National Chairman, Wherry
was the choice of some of the biggest Republican
contributors. Later, Martin himself named
Wherry as his Midwestern lieutenant.
The plan discussed at the secret New York
pow-wow was to install Wherry in national
headquarters as executive director at $20,000 ak
year and turn over to him the actual manage-
ment of this year's campaign. Several of the
conferees offered personally to guarantee Whr-
ry's salary.
Another, stated he was confident they would
have no trouble getting "all the money we want"
if Wherry was put in charge.
Note-Wherry has since announced as a sena-
torial candidate for the seat of Senator George
Norris.
Axis Oil Fields
Behind the frequent Jap bombing raids on
North Australia is a very important fact which
has escaped the headlines. As long as Gen.
MacArthur's planes are based on North Aus-
tralia, the Japs can't go ahead with their long-
cherished plans to develop the oil fields of Java.
For long-range U.S. Army bombers can carry
pay loads to Java and make a shambles of oil
tanks and oil wells.
That is why the Japs still want to take North
Australia, though since the Coral Sea battle they
have cooled off on the idea of landing troops in
the more populated and richer areas of southeast
Australia-which, incidentally, are now strongly
defended.
This same principle of long distance raids by
U.S. Army bombers is cutting into Hitler's oil
supply in Rumania. For Rumanian oil tanks
are all above ground and easy targets.
To date, Hitler's only source of gasoline, so
vital to his tanks and airplanes, are: (1) syn-
thetic plants in Germany, and (2) Rumania.
That's why he has to take the Russian oil fields
or the war can't continue. So the most valuable
help Army bombers can give Russia is to blow up
Rumanian oil wells.
Labor Expert
Navy labor policy long has been under fire; so
unionites were elated recently when Edwin A.
Lahey, liberal labor reporter of the Chicago Daily
News, was appointed special assistant to another
Chicagoan, Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Ralph Bard.
The move was viewed as putting a strong curb
on Bard, a Chicago banker with a long record of
anti-union activity.
Lahey is not only one of the most courageous
labor newsmen in the country, but is on close
terms with Secretary Frank Knox, former pub-
lisher of the Daily News, who brought him into
the Navy Department for the express purpose of
counteracting Bard's anti-labor attitude.
But apparently Bard does not propose to be
counteracted. He has quietly done some counter-
acting of his own.
Nothing has been said about it, but he has in-
stalled as labor adviser of the Bureau of Ships,
Horace Bent, son of Quincy Bent, operating
vice president of Bethlehem Steel Corporation.
Domfiinice Says
WHAT IS MORALE? To ask it is to ask if we
can believe with Lowell, that:
"Though the cause of evil prosper
Yet 'tis Truth alone is strong,
* * *
Truth forever on the scaffold
Wrong forever on the throne
Yet the scaffold sways the future,
And, behind the dim unknown
Standeth God within the shadow
Keeping watch above his own."
Morale is that transcendent personal certainty
by which men do the impossible in simple fashion
and thus generate in their fellows a contagious
partnership for action.
STRANGELY ENOUGH, morale is not derived
from health, nor prosperity, nor security, nor
independence, nor any of the other good things
for which we strive when times are normal. Mor-
ale is a religious quality. It pertains to a respon-
sibility which is God's but is contingent on man.
It is compounded of a sense of what ought to be,
but is not yet possible,-plus a fear that if one
waits to discover the fundamental reasons in-
volved, the time for action may have passed
forever. In morale there is urgency without
haste, eagerness devoid of impatience, and an
enjoyment of the fruits of victory in the midst
of defeat. It was Professor G. Stanley Hall who
declared, "When we face reality gladly and with
stout heart, even if it be grim and painful, and
never doubt it is good at the core, and all evil is
subordinate to good,-when we live for some-
thing which we would die for if need be, that is
morale."
Morale applies to peoples moving toward a
solidarity which is responsive and dynamic. If
you are close to your fellows you can sense it,
as it grows. Justice and love set above Lebens-
raum and power, great Allied defenders, dead
