Debate is getting under way with a
good deal of vigor around the gen
eral question of how much "social
control" we shall have, or ought to
have, after the war.
v
The spearheads are, roughly, on
the one side the "planners" on the
other side the extreme full-and-free
competition advocates.
The question is one of tremendous
importance.
It would be a point at which labor
might make a contribution of great
and statesmanlike proportions. Per
haps it will do so. It has made an
approach in the joint declaration with
employers. But that is more or less
an oblique approach and not a direct
blow at the heart of the major issue,
except in a limited sense.
However, it can be a springboard
for a further declaration, since its
promise is solid and sound.
Labor, speaking with employers,
stands for voluntarism.
But it remains to be seen how far
the new coalition will go—whether it
will regard its concern ended when
employment policies are dealt with,
or whether it will concern itself when
planning agencies seek to say to a
person that he may not enter a busi
ness, on the ground that enough al

ready are engaged in that business.
Few will argue that we do not need
any controls. Surely most of those
who watched veterans of World War
I sell apples on cold street corners
and who saw Black Friday ruin mil
lions of homes will not think all con
trols are bad.
The Securities and Exchange Act
is a measure of control and so is in
surance of bank deposits, with the
requirements it imposes.
We license dogs, not for revenue,
but for prevention of rabies. That is
a measure of control.
The real question at issue is this
What controls are needed to prevent
damage to one by another and where
must controls cease, lest they destroy
free enterprise and man's freedom
to move from job to job and occupa
tion to occupation?
W
War has made many controls neees
sary because, in war, obedience must
be instant and war's huge appetites
must be fed. There is no time for de
bate. Perhaps we can get the dis
tinction this way: In peace one per
son asks another if he will please do
this or that in war it is the sharp
command, with instant obedience. It
has to be that way. Modern war re
quires that same obedience, only
slightly modified, all along the line.
We were not asked if we would like
to have rationing we were rationed.
It had to be and no time for debate.
But how far do we want controls
when peace returns? How much con
trol can we afford to permit?
If a man wants to make that storied
"better mouse trap", shall he be al
lowed to do so, without getting the

Now planning is an essential. It is

War Plant Workers
See Navy Traveling
Rocket Exhibits
Washington, D. (ILNS).—Be
cause war plant workers want to
see for themselves the completed pro
ducts for which they make component
parts, how they are used and why
more are needed, the Bureau of Ord
nance is sending 3 mobile exhibits
featuring rockets on a nationwide tour
of plants engaged in this top priority
program.
Rockets, which are giving Naval
planes and amphibious craft the fierce
destructiveness of thunderous war
ships, are being produced with the
help of nearly 1,200 plants. Rear Ad
miral G. F. Hussey, Jr., USN., says
that to meet Fleet requirements pres
ent monthly output of rockets must
be stepped up fourfold.
The exhibits, designed and pre
pared by the Industrial Incentive Di
vision, Navy Department, are planned
to show to the workers, most of whom
make component parts, the appear
ance and installation of the complete
rocket and launcher. Returned com
bat personnel, experienced in the use
of rocket launching equipment, will
accompany each exhibit to explain the
battle functions of rockets, the
launchers and firing panels.
One exhibit will cover New England
the second will tour the Detroit area
and points farther west, while tils,
third will visit the Midwest.

BON'T FAIL THEM!
(From the Railway Clerk)
You have seen pictures of the com
plete and heart-breaking devastation
of towns and cities in the battlefield
which coyers all Europe. You know
only too well the full extent of human
misery and suffering of Europe's
teeming millions.
More than 125,000,000 people in lib
erated countries are in dire need of
clothing. More than 30,000,000 of
these are children. We must help
them.
Carrying 1$ie ftaU endorsement of
organized labor, a drive begins April
1 to collect used clothing for these
distressed people.
Every local lodge is earnestly urged
to make a drive of its own or to co
operate with local community organ
izations in this campaign, conducted
by the United Nations Relief and Re
habilitation Administration.
In every family there are some ar
ticles of used clothing which can be
donated. Because of the demand of
our armed forces, new clothing will
not be available for some time.
Extend a helping hand. It will be
bread cast upon the waters which Will
be returned a hundred fold.
