entirely ineffectual.
It may be argued that under our
system of government, the Vice
President is merely a figurehead, that
he cannot influence Congress or the
President, that he must remain a dec
orative nonentity.
-Even if this argument should be ad
Sgnced by Henry Wallace's friends, it
fat demolished by the record of his
predecessor, John Nance Garner. It is
inconceivable that such a legislative
crisis as the over-riding of the Presi
dent's veto on the tax bill—a crisis
which in Great Britain would have re
quired the formation of a new govern
ment could ever have developed
while Garner was Vice-President.

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL
In all the discussion which followed
the melodramatic flareup between the
President and Congress over the new
tax law, one important factor appears
to have been entirely overlooked—
and that is what Vice-President Wal
lace was doing when the battle waxed
hot.
So far as we can discover, the Vice
President faded right out of the pic
ture. If he attempted to back up the
President at all, or if he tried to keep
hkn advised, his efforts appear to have
been

The Results Count
Of course, Mr. Garner is a conserva
tive and his ideas were held to be
incompatible with the New Deal. Yet
during his two terms as Vice-Presi
dent the great body of New Deal leg
islation was effectively steered to en
actment.
Of course, Mr. Wallace is a liberal.
Yet during his one term as Vice-Presi
dent, the New Deal seems to have lost
its hold on Congress. Vicious, reac
tionary legislation has been adopted
to the frequent embarrassment of the
White House. On such basic issues as
taxes, subsidies and a Federal ballot
for soldiers, Congress has flatly re
fused to go along with the President.
We are not attempting to load the
entire responsibility for this situation
on Mr. Wallace's shoulders. Other ser
ious factors are involved. But the 111*
feeling between Congress and the
White House which exploded into the
open with the resignation and subse
quent re-election of Alben Barkley as
Senate Majority Leader is at least
partly attributable to the fact that
Roosevelt lacks a forceful and effec
tive lieutenant on Capitol Hill.
These are facts—impartial facts—
which should be obvious to observers
of any political persuasion. In at
tempting to analyze the facts from
here on, we wish to make clear that
we are expressing our personal views
and not the official policy of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
It seems to us, as an individual oh
server, that Mr. Wallace's weakness
can be summed up as follows—he is a

questions with a nervous giggle.
About three years ago when we
were planning to inaugurate the "La
bor For Victory" broadcasts of the
American Federation of Labor, we in
vited Vice-President Wallace to par
ticipate in the opening program. We
were unable to reach him directly and
had to deal with a secretary who said
the Vice-President would take the in
vitation under advisement and let us
know. A few days later we were in
formed by the secretary that the Vice
President would be glad to speak on

the program if it were under the joint
auspices of the AFL and CIO but
would have to decline to take part in
a straight AFL program for fear of
showing partiality to one group in the
labor movement.
Lo and behold our astonishment
when we learned last November that
Mr. Wallace had succeeded in over
coming his scruples to the extent of
agreeing to address the CIO conven
tion in Philadelphia!
1
Recently Mr. Wallace engaged in a
barnstorming trip through the West
during which he flatly predicted on
several occasions that President
Roosevelt would be re-elected to a
fourth term. His statements were
brought to the attention of the Presi
dent at White House press confer
ences and the President, who natur
ally prefers to make his own decisions
as to his future political course, ap
peared to be somewhat embarrassed
by the inquiries. All of which brings
up the question as to whether Mr.
Wallace was motivated by solicitude
for his chief or by a desire to claim
exclusive jurisdiction over the Presi
dent's coattails.

GOVERNMENT ASKS
UNION ASSISTANCE
IN PAPERCAMPAIGN
Washington, D. C.—Joseph D. Kee
nan, Vice-Chairman of the War Pro
duction Board, appealed to members
of the American Federation -of Labor
to assist the Government in the waste
paper salvage drive. His statement
follows:
"One of the most acute problems
facing the government today is the
manufacturing of sufficient quantities
of paper and paperboard to meet the
demands of the military and critical
civilian requirements.
"The increasing use of paper in the
manufacture and delivery of war
weapons and supplies, coupled with an
extreme shortage of manpower to cut
timber for the production of wood
pulp, an essential ingredient in thie
manufacture of paper, has createti
this critical shortage. The use of ad
ditional waste paper is the only means
we have to offset this condition.
Thousands of extra tons of waste
paper therefore are needed immedi
ately to replenish the fast dwindling
inventories at the paper mills which
are now dangerously low. In many
cases, mills are operating on a day to
day basis, and some have been forced
to shut down two or three days a week
and therefore operate far from capac
ity.
"Millions of paperboard containers
are being sent overseas to our fighting
forces. Waste paper is one of the
chief raw materials from which these
containers and shipping materials are
made. A large proportion of the
things sent to our armed forces—ma
chines, equipment, guns, ammunitions,
food and medical supplies, blood
plasma and clothing has to be in
dividually wrapper in paper that has
been water proofed or in other ways
specially treated. Much of this paper
has to be impregnated with asphalt
and' other waterproofing material, so
that everything shipped will arrive in
perfect condition at the battle areas.
There are 700,000 items for the armed
forces that require paper packaging.
In addition there are thousands of
ways paper is being made into actual
weapons of war. Some of these itenjMJ
are: bomb bands, airplane wing tips,
small supply parachutes, parachute
flares, fuel tank linings, practice
bombs, practice targets, ammunition
chests, blasting powder kegs, camou
flage paper, dust covers for motors
and many other items.
"That there is great need for an in
creasingly accelerated flow of waste
paper is most certain. It must be col
lected from every conceivable source—
households, retail stores, business of
fices and industrial plants. Practically
all kinds of waste paper can be used.
Exceptions are waxed and other im
pregnated paper, and paper con
taminated by use. Every American
man, woman and child can cooperate
in this campaign—at home—in the of
fice—in the store and in the industrial
plant.
"Labor unions and their members
are urged to participate in the waste
paper salvage drive to their fullest
extent to assist in aiding the critical
shortage that is facing the country to
day in order that there will be avail
able sufficient containers for the ship
ping of war material and foods to our
armed forces overseas.
"Labor unions are urged to appoint
committees to actively participate In
this campaign through the regular or
ganized salvage committees in their
locality so that every scrap of waste
paper may be turned into use in help
ing to defeat the Axis."
