There are nearly 80,000 pro-Nazi
Germans in Chile 30,000 are Ger
man nationals 50,000 are Chilean
citizens of German descent who
have been hypnotized, despite their
democratic antecedents, by the vic
tories of the fuehrer.
to
There is a drama here. To see
It and Chile’s importance within the
Pan-American picture, we must
have a sense of the Chilean people.
The Chilean is half mariner, half
mountaineer. He lives in a land
whose geography a famous Chilean
writer has called "insane.” Chile
is 2,000 miles long and about 100
miles wide, shaped like an earth
worm. One side of it is sea, the
other ice and rock. In square miles,
it is larger than France, but a bare
ten per cent of its soil is cultivable,
the rest being desert, mountain and
poor sheep pasture. That’s not the
worst of it. Chile is the land of
earthquakes. Every Chilean remem
bers "his earthquake.” He may be
fifty, and the frightful experience
may have shaken his body when he
was six, but his soul cannot forget.
Havoc of an Earthquake.
I visited Concepcion, the country’s
third city, where, only three years
ago, a quake in 90 seconds destroyed
thousands of lives and shattered
hundreds of houses. The ruins are
there still—the cathedral, the dwell
ings, the commercial structures
and on and about them Concepcion
moves, disorganized and dazed, like
a city bombed by an enemy which
the people cannot have the satis
faction of hating.
All this has made the Chileans
slow, reticent, stubborn, intellectual
ly matter-of-fact a people of depth
and will, rather than surface sensi
bility and color a long-suffering folk
whose noble music is almost buried
in their hearts, as different from their
charming and brilliant neighbors
across the Andes as their rocky land
is different fron the Rampa.

Chile Advanced Politically.
Politically, Chile is the most ad
vanced nation of South America. Its
industrial workers are all unionized,
every Chilean belongs to a political
party, and the elections are honest.
7’he two largest parties are the
Radicals (corresponding to the Lib
erals in this country) and the Con
servatives (like our die-hard Repub
licans). Socialists and Communists
are highly respected, important
minorities with representatives in
the ministry and congress. Yet this
sturdy, conscious folk (with the ex
ception of Uruguay, the most homo
geneous in all South America)
mains economically poor and
ploited.
The people are democratic from
top to bottom. An example: The
new minister of health, Dr. Miguel
Etchebarne, still works as a subordi
nate of Dr. Orrego who, officially,
is under him. At 8 a. m., the min
ister takes orders from Orrego in
the State hospital at 11 a. m., in
his ministry, be gives orders to
Orrego.
Another instance is the Church.
Everywhere, there are good Catholic
Democrats. In Chile alone, as far
as I know, there is an organized
Catholic Democratic party which
works with Radicals, Socialists and
Communists against the Fascist dan
ger. Schnake, the minister of labor,
is of this party.
Not far from Valdivia, heart of
German Chile, in the village of San
Jose de la Mariquina, lives the
noblest of the country’s anti-Nazis,
a bishop and a full-blooded German!
I went to see Guido Benedict Beck
de Ramberga, Capuchin bishup. He
told me of his fight against his fellow
Germans and Chileans of German
descent, who send him threatening
letters.
The Nazis have one great virtue:
They know their enemies and fight
them. The Gestapo in Germany
warned him of reprisals if he did not
stop publishing his anti-Fascist lit
erature. The magazines and pam
phlets kept on flowing from the bish
op’s print shop.
This brings me back to the Nazi
embassy in Chile. A few weeks ago,
Minister of the Interior Morales
made a speech forecasting an early
break with the Axis. The Axis em
bassies got busy on the cables, and
Morales cracked down, refusing to
oass their messages.

So hard has been the life of
Chilean worker, so hard the soil, so
uncertain even the survival of his
house when his earth quakes, that
when he gets a bit of money, he
doesn’t like the American buy
goods he buys rest. Poor food,
ragged clothes, a hovel of a house,
he has got used to. What he wants
is a week off, with plenty of wine
to remove him from his troubles.
The average labor-year of the fully
employed, skilled Chilean industrial
worker is 39 weeks.

WASHINGTON (FP)—Nov.
25—An important proposal that
manpower problems be dealt with
by executive orders of the Presi
dent was submitted to him by A FL
President William Green and CIO
President Philip Murray, Nov. 19.
Emerging from a conference rf
the Combined Labor-War Board at
the White House, Murray and
Green told reporters they were
united in their steadfast opposition
to labor-freezing legislation.
They told the President, however,
that organized labor would go
“even beyond the limit” in cooper
ating with solving manpower prob
lems according to Presidential or
ders and administrative processes.
In line with a recent CIO reso
lution condemning the delays in
volved in War Labor Board ma
chinery, both the AFL and CIO
heads urged the President to set
up new machinery to speed hand
ling of the more than 4,000 cases
pending.
Green said that the new WLB
regional offices being opened up to
handle voluntary wage agreements
under the resident’s economic
stabilization order might well be
empowered to handle dispute cases,
too.

To the Editor:
Organized labor Successfully
demonstrated the effectiveness of
a nation-wide unauthorized sit
down strike. Without leadership or
planned action, thousands upon
thousands of organized workers,
both men and women, were satis
fied to sit down at home Nov. 3
and not vote.
The results met with hearty ap
proval from all editors, commenta
tors and politicians who had so
loudly condemned other sit-down
strikes. This greatest of all sit
downs more than satisfied this
clique because it threw out, or kept
out of office, the friends of labor
and allowed enemies of labor to be
elected.
It also satisfied the ruthless
killers of Europe as they pounced
upon it as a repudiation of our
great president, the best friend
labor ever has had in Washington.
It must have more than pleased
Hitler, for years ago he wrote in
his infamous book, “A democracy
is easy to defeat.”
To an old-timer to organized la
bor and politics, this sit-down of
Nov. 8 is easily explained. It is
the action, or rather inaction, of a
satisfied people. Organized labor
will fight to defeat an enemy, but
has not learned the necessity to
fight to elect a friend. We go an
any extreme to express our dissat
isfaction but seldom our satisfac
tion.
Satisfied people never accom
plished anything in this world ex
cept their own destruction. Had
George Washington, Patrick Henry
and others been satisfied in 1776,
we might never have had a United
States of America. Had Lincoln
been satisfied in 1860 we would
have had a divided United States.
If organized labor is satisfied to
sit down and let its friends be
defeated, it will realize too late its
organization has lost its effective
ness. Already attempts are being
made to repeal the Wagner Labor
Act and to establish a longer work
week. The enemies of labor see in
the lack of interest of the worker
on Nov. 3 the opportunity to begin
taking from him.
