As we go headlong into an uncer
tain and puzzling future, it is interest
ing sometimes to wonder about things
and persons past.
For example, it is interesting to
wonder what has happened to the
tomb of Clemenceau, the Tiger of
France.
Do you remember how he was bur
ied? Well, he was buried upright—
standing on his feet—facing the sea.
In all of the terrible upheaval of
World War II, did that tomb escape
ruin? Does the old Tiger still stand
there, facing the sea? The outlook
from that point was toward the wild
and free ocean. But the danger came
^from behind—from the land side.
In 1918 there were Clemenceau,
Lloyd George, Wilson and Orlando.
Clemenceau was the Tiger, in very
truth Wilson was the great philoso
pher and idealist, Lloyd George was
a wizard of an organizer. Orlando
went along for the ride, carefully
picking the winning side—or shall we
say, carefully yielding to t&e bar
gaining of the winning side,
Well, we have come oat of a war
In whiab the tiger was a Britisher,

not a Frenchman. And what a tiger
Churchill, the implacable.
And Roosevelt was the philosopher
and the idealist—AND a mobilizer and
a driver as well.
In that other war Russia had no
great leader—she was eaten with cor
ruption. In this war she had Stalin.
And how the Russians fought!
But now that the great war is end
ed, with complete victory, something
else is happening.
The little wars have come.
Russia is in Manchuria, violating
her pledged word. There is shooting in
India, in Indonesia and in several
other places. The oil burns in Iran
and guns blaze in Palestine.
The Great Men who win wars seem
to have poor terminal facilities.
There is a United Nations Organ
ization. Its structure is in working
order.
Already it has proven to offer a
forum where hot heads can iet loose
and, by spouting, grow cool.
If we cannot have hope in the
United Nations we can have no hope,
except for more war—perhaps for
another World War, before the ashes
of the last have cooled, before its
aches are dimmed.
Nations, at the point of exhaustion,
even crying for food, seem to keep
their guns at the hip, ready to fire—
and even firing.
The world picture is not a pretty
one. Suspicion, covetousness, fear—
these grip most of the nations, even as
they try to clear away the wreckage.

Nations Organization, Stalin never-

In the midst of all of this suspicion,

There must be a supreme determin

Permanent prevention of war

Lawyer Tells. Ala. Unions
To Disregard Bradford Act
Birmingham, Ala. (ILNS).—Hor
ace C. Wilkinson of the law firm of
Wilkinson & Skinner, Birmingham,
has advised Secretary W. O. Hare of
the Alabama Federation of Labor that
the state has no legal right to de
mand that unions make an annual
financial report to the State Depart
ment of Labor. In a letter to Secre
tary Hare, Wilkinson refers to a let
ter from the Labor Department call
ing on local unions to comply with
the act and says:
"I have heretofore advised yon that
in my opinion the remaining provi
sions of the Bradford Act are uncon
stitutional and will be so declared
when they are properly presented to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. I therefore advise the Ala
bama State Federation of Labor and
all the unions affiliated with it to dis
regard the request and to refuse to
comply with the Bradford Act."
Lid On Permits
CiampeS A&aiir
Columbus .—The Ohio Department
of Liquor Control closed the flood
gates against new applications for
beer, wine and private club licenses
which have been pouring in since last
October, when the liquor board lifted
the wartime "freeze" on all but whis
key and night club permits. Accord
ing to Director Robert M. Sohngen
and chairman of the board, Mrs.
Maude McQuate, the new "holiday"
will remain in effect at least until the
expected beer shortage is alleviated
and the backlog of 5,000 applications
on hand if "cut down.

Labor League To Support
Committee For HealtHt
Agencies' Planning
'f, ___
frew ^ork City (ILNS).—Matthew
Woll, president of the AFL's Labor
League for Human Rights, has ac
cepted membership on the Citizens'
Planning Committee of the National
Health Council.
The committee will support a pro
gram of joint planning for the coun
try's 20,000 voluntary health agen
cies, stressing coordination of'health
and fund-raising services.
Dr. Louis I. Dublin, temporary
chairman of the committee, empha
sizes that the new group will bring
increased strength and leadeiship to
the whole voluntary health movement.
Considerable weakness and uneven
ness in the work of many health socie
ties has been uncovered through a
recent study financed by the Rocke
feller Foundation, he said.
"Even in small communities," Br.
Dublin said, "we found a multiplicity
of agencies. In many instances these
agencies duplicate one another's ac
tivities and waste money and energy
in work which is often not worthy
of such effort. At the same time cry
ing health needs are being neglect
ed."
"The many money-raising appeals
of the individual health agencies are
also competitive and wasteful. The
funds collected bear little relation to
actual community needs and their dis
tribution is entirely irrational. Labor,
through its contriubtion to commun
ity projects, is in a position to urge
a pooling of the present appeals of
the separate agencies into one nation
wide appeal, and a single health
agency budget for every city or town."
Airplane Workers Approve
Strike For Higher Pay
Washington, D. C. (ILNS.—Presi
dent Harvey W. Brown of the Inter
national Association of Machinists has
assigned a representative to consult
with the Aeronautical Lodge 1125 at
San Diego, Calif., following the action
of the lodge members in voting 772
percent for a strike at the plant of the
Consolidated-Vultee Aircraft Corp.
The strike vote came in a dispute
over union demands for a 30 percent
wage increase to compensate for re
duction of take-home pay resulting
from a reduction in hours. It was one
of the last ones conducted by the
National Labor Relations Board be
fore the strike-vote funds of the
board were shut off by Congress.
Approximately 4,000 are now em
