The Cherry F| 1 Where with our Little Hatchet we tell the truth about many things, sometimes pro foundly. Sometimes flippantly, sometimes recklessly. Court of public opinion began to rule against the sit-down strike two years ago. Decision wasn't unani mous but it soon had good-sized ma jority behind it. r. yams** -v-- Now Supreme Court rules the same way, in a vigorous opinion written? by Chief Justice Hughes. $ American Federation of Labor led the way in showing dangers of the sit-down. It pointed out that the so-called "new" strike technique was danger ous to labor itself. The dangers were plain to anyone, who took time to reflect just a bit on the sit-down and where it led. It led, of course, to a state of hope less confusion, with irresponsible mi norities in a position to nullify any union contract they didn't fancy. The boys who are always ready to hail some short cut to labor's eman cipation greeted the sit-down with gladsome shouts. They could see the immediate gains won by the sit-down but they couldn't see that in the long run, it threatened greater losses than gains, because it was bound to alienate public and 61JI ployer sympathy. A. F. of L. opposition to the sit down threw light on the whole prob lem and was a strong factor in the ruling against sit-downers given by the court of public opinion. London and New York stock ex changes say there will be no Euro pean war in the near future. Rising prices on the two exchanges express this opinion. The Cherry Tree has suggested from time to time that possibly the writers on international affairs who are always seeing war just around the corner may be mistaken. Possibly the world's financial pow ers know more about the international situation than the newspaper "ex perts." They may be confident that the totalitarian nations will not force war, because of the realization that it will mean their utter ruin. Anyway, Americans can contribute to world stability by not getting jit tery. As the A. F. of L. says: "We in America need to guard against an emotional approach to for eign problems, which would magnify war scares, create hatred and fear, and serve as a background for large armament expenditures." The utmost in "purge" absurdity has been reached in Russia. Children are now the victims of the Communist purgers. Three Soviet officials in a city in the Urals are revealed as having "framed" school children and ob tained their "confessions" on trumped up charges of treason. They hoped thus to win reputations for "vigilance against enemies." The children were questioned for days and kept in jail eight months, crowded into general cells with com mon criminals as well as political of fenders. Revelations such as these should occasion no surprise. Dictatorial power always brings gross abuses. The tyranny in the Kremlin is no ex ception to the rule. And this kind of thing goes on un der a regime that American Com munists glorify and seek to line the United States up with, in a "war for democracy"! Advertise in The Press.
