' r What is the record since a board was appointed eight days after Pearl plan now for post-war reconstruc-; Harbor, Dec. 15, 1941, to handle in- tion, and for holding the principles for which we are fighting. A vastly important question is how to guard against mass starvation and anarchy all over Europe in the inter im between the declaration of peace and the days when the nations of Eu rope can stand on their own feet and do their own planning. This interim is sure to occuf. Another subject, for instance, is what is to be done with the leaders of enemy nations in the event of un conditional surrender? One hears va rious ideas on this subject which range all the way from frying them in oil to putting them on a sinking island for instant, sure death. What general treatment should be accord ed the enemy nations? These are illustrations of questions in the minds of the people—problems that must be worked out and solved by leaders of intematfonal calibre— men of brains and not day-dreamers. The all-important ^task before us is to win the war. While it is not im proper to be thinking of post-war planning, we must not be committed by any branch of our government to definite obligations, formulated at a time when no one has the slightest idea when the war will be over nor what conditions will be like at that time. Difficult problems and issues dustrial disputes during the w,ar According to the Department of Labor, strikes in 19.42 caused 6,662,- 000 idle man-days, of which 31% per cent (2,097,000) affected war work. In 1941 the idle man-days due to strikes totaled 22,886,000. Lewis has made it clear that he is stone deaf to all arguments concern ing the winning of the war and the safeguarding of our domestic econo- j my. He realizes that a strike in the coal mines would disrupt our whole f production program, but he has shown that he is perfectly willing to call a strike if his demands are not met. He knows how he has been pet ted and pampered by the Washington administration for the past ten years —he knows that, generally speaking, Washington is afraid of him and his political power. Mr. Lewis must also realize that if coal miners are given a big wage in crease that other labor groups should be entitled to similar increases and a general upward revision of wages at this time would make disastrous inflation a certainly. Truth is, we al ready have inflation, regardless of what we are told.
