By walking off the job and refusing to go back until they get the raise, however, the laborers até drawing criticism from the navy, the contractors, and from many of their own union brothers. The navy and contractor side of the picture simply is that the laborers are slow- ing down projects vital to national defense, | ang are weakening their own, cause as far | 4 as arguments for an increased pay scale go | | in Washington. GaP What Washington, decides’ about the 1 boost, they point out, will be based on living costs here, and the fact that the work is being stopped will tend to projudice the | labor board against, rather than for, the inerease. On the other hand, from the side of the | Yaborers, themselves, it cannot be denied that the work stoppage is expensive to the individual families. Forty cents an hour amounts to $3.20 a day, and the laborers | must remember that even if they get the raise, it will take 15 days to earn back the money they lose in every 10 idle daye. Of course, if they go back to work without the raise, the money is gone for | good—$3.20 every day, $32.00 every 10! days. | Many of the laborers’ friends think it | would be easier to eat and argue than just argue. The war in the East continues, with Germany reporting a break-through and Moscow asserting the contrary. No man knows what is happening, ex- cept that men are being slaughtered. The clatter of machines and the clash of, me- | chanized armies may capture the imagina- tion but it is human beings who are doing That mankind has no better way to settle its differences is a reproach to all people, including those of us who live in the United States. It is ours to admit that this republic refused to take any steps to line-up with peaceful nations in a plan to prevent war by making it a crime, punishable by con- certed action of powerful, peace-loving peoples. ,, To say that the United States worked | for peace, during the early twenties and thirties, because we foolishly disarmed and ,swallowed a lot of bunk about nations never using war as an instrument. of na- tional policy, is merely to remind us that, like the British and French, we were sucked It is foolish to talk of peace unless one | is willing to serve, if necessary, as a soldier | of peace. It. is idle to sign non-aggression | pacts if one is not ready to do something | about enforcing non-aggression pacts. It is absurd to disarm without being willing to | cooperate in the defense of the disarmed, if they are threatened by sudden might. Peace is possible in the world only if those who want peace possess the power to enforee it. To leave peace tothe mercy and decision of nations that worship the gods of ” war. ig as foolish as possible and yet that is what the democracies of the world did. To- day tHey ate paying the price of folly. | 1 A PATRIOT TO THE JAPANESE We read a dispatch from Chungking, China, reporting that the patriot, Lind- bergh, is in much favor with the Japanese, who are dropping leaflets, reproducing ex- cerpts from his isolationist speeches.
