WHY SHOULD SOME SHIRK? \yartime in the natiorf is not unmarked a.s it should be by strikes. ^The latter, whatever their basic cause or nature, do not enhance the prompt success of the nation’s military effort to assure in the shortest time possible the total defeat of the Axis by the United Nations of which this nation is a major one. That the open promise and pledge of the heads of the A. F. of^L. and the C. I.'O., the two largest and principal labor organizations in thus country, to forego in wartime the legal right of labor to strike has not meant an end to wartime labor problems and troubles in the nation has been evident in the unauthorized strikes which have occurred, brieif though some of them were. It has also been apparent that neither the literal wartime anti-strike laws enacted by Congress or the agencies of government, including the war labor board, have thus far sufficed in themselves to avert any strike during the war which prevails and will until the Axis is finally defeated. Meri and women in the nation’s military service in ihe fight to defend and protect the life of this republic and its citizens from its enemies in wartime have not been and will not be in strike against the government and its citizens but are offering and sacrificing their lives~Tn its defense. The * same may be said of the millions of the n^ion’s civilians who have been working -untiringly and valiantly, in production and oth^r work necessary as a vital part of the military effort of the nation in the fight to deJfeat the Axis. Why, then, should there be s6me 'workers who choose to ^own their tools or decline to remain on their jobs in war time solely because they believe that some request they had made was not complied with or granted as they believed it should be? Their request may be right or wrong; there is intention here to decide which, but the fai:;t that they are on strike In WartTme when what they can produce is a vital and necessary part of the nation’s production in the military. effort against the Axis is something which can not be justified —at least not while the majority of the citizens of the republic oif which they are a part are fighting and many of them dying in battle, or laboring valiantly on the home front in their work as a integral part of its defense and the winning of a total victory over the Axis. FEED THEM WITH WHAT? The statement has been circulated that we are going to feed the world—just as soon as the-world is one happy family. Many heads of American homes find it a problem to feed their own household under the present conditions. Bread .without butter and mustard without meat Ls rather a limited bill of f^re for an American stomach; but then, we hear it's the Army that causes this embarra.ssment. If so, we are willing to pull in our belts for the sake of the Army; but how in cornucopia 1.4 Uncle Sam going to feed the universe when today he is unable to supply the proper numtrirnent for his own legitimate family? We (Ion t object to feeding that worthy group of citizens down in Happy Hollow. Tht'y’re part of us and they’ve had tough luck; hut do we kick the traces at using our hard earned cash to feed Torn. Dick and Harry so'me .several thou.sand miles across ttie seveli sea.s while the home cupboard looks hiightynbare. Again, we don’t like bragging. If we make promisees we’ve got to fulfill them, and if we can't fulfill them who’s responsible for the promises offered—and on what horn of plenty were they promulgated? Hungry people are not in a mood to expect .something and then receive nothing, and tho it is one World it’s a mighty big universe with a heap of empty stomachs. We hear a lot lately about hating our ene mies; surely we don’t want our friends to absorb any of that .-evil and resort to hating us for not delivering the goods? So we say (as citizen.^ who pay part of the bills) let’s contradict the statemenL if incorrect, or modify (with apologies) if doubt exists that we can’t (fulfill the promise. * . The whole world is looking with hungry eyes on that last bushel of wheat and we are interested in a kernel or so to feed those loving ones who depend on our blood, sweat and ceaseless toil for their daily bread.

The same problem was common in New York City, where Mayor La Guardia offered some sound advice on the subject, mainly addressed to parent??. He pointed out that time lost from schooling in the years of youth) may be lost forever, and that competition for the better jobs will be Keen after the war. Also that a sound basis of education is neces sary for the enjoyment o'f leisure and all the better things of life. These may seem ab.slract arguments to ik boy earning, perhaps, better wages than many adults could command be- W.G the war. He may think the bird in hand is worth t\V()'in the bush. But his parents probably know bettor. Their own experience tells them thilt a completed education is a life time asset and the lack of it may be a lifetime handicap.
