HUGO MILLER, UPLAND jJORTON MORALE —MANPOWER KEY AS THE WAR enters the period of decisive en gagements, our endurance under heart-break ing losses and our devotion to the principles of human freedom will be put to the test. As oui fellow citizens undergo the ordeal of combat, wi on the industrial battle front must put aside com forts and even necessities and make the sacrifices involved in keeping the supply lines moving as needed. The whole undertaking is conditioned b.v morale—the driving will to accomplish. From the beginning the organized lai-nr move ment has pointed to the basic importance of morale and for that reason has urged an overall war administration that would give consideration to all national factors involved and promote a pro gram that would balance plans for mobilizing armed forces, military production, the work force, the supporting economic organization, the long time and immediate welfare of the nation. Such an overall governmental strategy board would need and utilize counsel of representatives of pri vate organizations with functional responsibilities in the fields concerned. The importance of such sound administrative organization lies in the fact that morale rtfsts on abiding conviction that individuals may count on justice in decisions on policies with the right ol individual appeal on questions of personal distress. Sound administrative organization is important at all times, but in time of national emergency, when we cannot afford the waste due to friction ami withholding of cooperation, it is absolutely indis pensable.

Lieut. (Jen. Drum of the Eastern Defense.' Command, with headquarters in -New York, issued the order. The Eastern Defense Co/nmand declined to give any information on Shea or to disclose the circumstances leading up the issuance of the order except to say the a-i on was taken "be cause of military necessity." This is an explana tion that does not explain and smacks of arbitrary action hardly in keeping with d^mocracv or fail play. coasts and the I XION LEADERSHIP OF THE Fl Tl RE I A DOR'S stake in America's future is being cided now by the leadership every union mem gives, and even more by the kind of leader ship we develop in our chilelren. We must look to Labor's future leadership. That is why Labor must regard the nation-wid weep of juvenile delinquency as a serious threat to the strength and standing of Labor in the post war years. Just as an army brings up reserves fresh and trained to win the battle, so will the unions need the leadership of youth, equipped in heart and mind, to carry on the fight for a new social and world order. War is biting deeply into the ranks of Labor leadership and Labor has re sponded freely in the true spirit of patriotism. Dut we cannot afford the needless casualties* inflictec on our future leadership by the alarming increase of delinquency in our industrial areas. From many cities comes hopeful news of re newed efforts on behalf of the nation's youth. In Detroit this week the press reports "fi^sh evi dence that the finally aroused city, from private citizen to official agency, is tackling the problem.' Labor unions have joined with other organizations 'to help curb young immorality and lawlessness.' One of the most effective programs that has begun to griji youth nationally is an adventure in nation-building entitled "Your Part in Winning the War." Rased on the Moral Ile-Armament handbook "You Can Defend America" which has been recommended by AFL President William Creen and CIO President Philip Murray, and by State and Local union bodies across the country Your Part in Winning the War" is a series of lessons devoloping a three-point program of 'Sound Homes, Teamwork in Industry, A Unitec Nation." It is already in use in schools of a dozen or more states. "We have direct evidence," says the Detroit Director of Language Education, "that this series of lessons has reduced racial antagonisms, in creased patriotic thinking, and the sale of war stamps and bonds. Especially noteworthy is the way this training program includes and affects the ntire family of the student. In Detroit, where at least every other home houses one or more war plant workers, the lessons of teamwork ant united effort thus taught cannot fail to react favorably 011 absenteeism and war production." Hut the experiences of thousands of boys ant lyirls across ,the country are the best measurement of the success of the program. Last week in Doston, AFL and CIO leaders heard and saw the (•suits from the teen-agers themselves, (lathering Yom New York, Detroit, Newark, Columbus ioston and other centers, they not only describee iow they changed from being irresponsible cornel ids into youth ready to assume their duties as itizens, but actually presented the story of theii hange by means of a three-act play entitled 'Drugstore Revolution," of which they were authors, producers and actors. "Your Part in Winning the War" id'slifcceeiliiig where moralizing has failed. It is presenting true latriotism to youth as a positive program of nation-building in which each has a part in home union and plant, and making it more arresting, xciting and satisfying than anything else. It is ducating youth to have a new attitude, free from irejudiee and propaganda, 011 labor and manage- icnt problems, home and community life, nationa uid world affairs. From the beginning the Labor Movement has ought for the highest in education for all. W who set in our children the labor leaders of to morrow welcome "Your Part in Winning the War' is an educational program that is not only answer ng the moral problems of our youth but inspiring them to take statesmanlike leadership in building' Labor' new world. COOD RILL KILLED "M1E UNITED States Senate didn't enhance its reputation when it virtually killed the $300, 00,000 school aid bill, which had organized labor's upport. The Senate killed the measure after vot ug into it an amendment forbidding discrimina tion because of race, creed or color in the adminis tration of not only federal funds but also the state moneys they would supplement. The measure was sent back to on Education and Labor, where it cannot be brought out again for a long time, if at all. A oalition of Southern Democrats and 33 opponents id the shelving. The action of the Southern Democrats was plainly based on the anti-discrimi nation clause, as most of them had favored the bill previously. Playing of peanut politics ami catering to race prejudice were involved in the Senate's action, which was a blow at advancement of popular ('dil ation. State after state in experiencing an edu ational crisis, as the result of inability to hold poorly paid teachers in the face of demands for heir services in better paying work. The $300, 00,000 aid bill proposed to correct this situation, n part at least, by helping the states to raise eachers' salaries and generally improve educa tional programs, which in many states are totalh inadequate to this day and age.

The end of fighting will )i ing so much fatigue and weariness that it may e hard to continue the battle for democracy on the peace front. Hut continue we must, for the ree laboi m)wment the Committee li.i.s wori. t. do t! the world. In those war-devastated countries that must be ('habilitated and reorganized, the labor movement hould be the first group to present plans for re mplo.Miient so that people may have the means to »ay lor lood, shelter and clothing. The millions taken 1 rom their hoi\ies for forced labor should lave the chance for rehabilitation and repatria ioii. Transportation will be so broken down that nass movt ment of people will be impossible. This becomes a responsibility of the international labor organizations.

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS or many years following the last war the American Legion constantly asserted its belief that in the event of another such catastrophe both labor and wealth should be drafted. No right minded citizen could differ with that platform. Everyone can subscribe to service to our country when everyone is treated the same. Kor many months, however, .the com manders of the Legion, both past and present, have been touring the country making speeches condemning American working people for not producing the munitions of war 1(H) per cent. The present commander told the AFL con vention in effect, that labor should be drafted. They have joined with labor haters in smearing the working people of this country not for producing less than expected but for not producing what some experts think they ought produce. And this in spite of the fact that our workers have not only out produced all other countries but have produced vastly more than anyone, in cluding these same "experts," ever expected American factories to pro duce: We have here led the reader to do what officials of the American Legion seem to have done—forget the other wing of their war program. Remember reading our lirst paragraph about drafting labor AM) WEALTH? Why have Legion oflicers soft-pedaled the drafting of wealth? Labor took an awful beating from news writers and radio commentators because the Rrewster Aeronautical Corp. In New Jersey was unable to get down to business and product airplanes for the armed services. Management blamed union and union blamed man igenieut for incompetency and failing to have materials oil hand. eJot so bad that Henry Kaiser was called in and put in charge of the il plants. First think Henry did was to establish confidence with union mem bers (not dillictilf for him), and it now appears that with Kaiser and union working together these plants will be gin to produce. The term "management" means abil ity to manage something—to be able to handle man and machines and get pro duction. Rrewster managements, it ap pears, couldn't manage anything, so little was produced. Fnion, however, as usual, was blamed for all I lie (rouble. Washington Post, even sent the wife of its owner to report, and she, naturally, blamed workers. Kaiser, however, knows that to pro duce efficiently,'management must man ige workers. And he knows how. He knows that workers are people, and he knows people can produce if given half a chance. •lust watch Rrewster from now on. Elect A Man Whose Records Show That He Is A Friend Of Labor!
