Theirs is the spirit that made America a great seafaring nation a century ‘ago, and which will bring America | |to victory again i To Protect The Worker (New York Times) The “pro-labor” and “anti-labor”, as recently used by some professional labor leaders, and thoughtlessly parroted in other quarters, have ac- | quired some queer connotations. By some strange ! twist of logic, people will now even be found de- nouncing “anti-labor” legislative proposals whese | principal object is to protect the laborer from ex- ploitation by unscrupulous union officials When | the Federal Government insists that employers must | recognize, and negotiate with labor uniotns, it bec ,that Government’s corollary duty, which it has ‘t.n- evaded, to see that those compulsorily recognized adjectives as mes 59 unions are themselves responsible and honestly and | democratically conducted. It precisely for the protection of the great body of labor, of individual | workers everywhere, that we need legislation requir- ‘mu publicity for the financial affairs of unions and | regular audits; that we need laws requiring thmj unions hold regular elections of officers by secret | | ballot; laws requiring that they do not impose un- reasonable dues or initiation fees; laws requiring that they impose no arbitrary barriers to union en- | trance; laws requiring that they employ no coercion or intimidation to build up membership. is Decision of Expediency (Cincinnati Enquirer) The renewal for another year of the Soviet-Jap- anese agreement which permits Nipponese fishermen to operate in Siberian waters is an evidence of Ruj- sla’s desire to maintain for quite a while leash| the status quo in her relations with Japan i The Scviet attitude is in line with military judg- ment that the defeat of Germany, and later Japan |can best be accomplished by the concentration of | Russian strength on the European front and avoid- ance, as long as possible, of the diversion which wculd be created by active hostilities another front with Japan Strategical considerations undoubtedly dictated the decision. The fisheries agreement lapsed on De- cember 31, and since then it has been for Joseph Staiin to decide upon the expedient course. He lm»'(' to bear in mind that a refusal to renew the agree- ment—so important to Japan's food supply—might precipitate a Japanese blow at Russia. He seemingly decided that the time is not yet here for joint ac-, tion against Japan, while the Americans and the British are still unprepared for a counter-offensive rman Army still remains to be reckouned | at on and the with.
