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.
