No matter what our military leaders do there will always be some Americans who fun peint out their mistakes. ‘Hitler’s public addresses, nowadays, ciffer: very much from his bombastic “we- are-marching-forward” talks of a few years ago.

Fhe so-called modern woman, with her nail polish, would probably be surpris ed io.know how many thousands of yea ago Women were using nail polish. There | is just nothing new under che sun. Miami is harder hit, at this “psychole- gicaltmoment”, cuntry by the OPAls order against “plea ure driving.” We sympathize for and with Miami, but the great bulk of our sympathy is concentrated on our own city—its public schools, its old age pensioners, the loss by the eounty of operationalefurds. “Farewell to our golf course for the du- | ratien,” deelared one Key Wester today, Lut another Key Wester spoke up, “leon | “W in't going to step me from playing goli. | l'm —geing to ride a bike io ithe course.” There is always an alternative, and Ameri:- than any other part of the | George Lucas, who heads .he nove- | ment in Key West for the observance of | President Roosevelt’s birthday anniversary, | iul disease, | way. of only a mile or object in with the chief infantile paral view of raising | is sufferers, says | | i Should Compulsory Arbitration Replace the Strike and ibly the usual ball that has been | no‘hcr years will not be held this In th tion, one Key Wester re- marked that he felt confident that Leon | Gbediould not maintain that it would .

Let us assume that it will be civen in the | | Cuban Clubhouse. that would mean a walle. e2ch so for residents whose | homes are farthest away from the club. And what's | mile walk? A walk of a mile, in the old days, was looked upen as but things are ifferent now. Habit makes changes in our and everythirg “nothing,” a ottitude toward walking | else.

However, hat may be, it would be a painful task in- ‘eed for women in tight-fitting, high-heel- ed shoes to walk a mile to the clubhouse and then walk a mile back home, after having danced for a few hours. So, all in all, say anything about the walkirg of women toe be to and from a dance, his proposal that some | other form of cGbserving the President’s birthday this year be adopted, probably is well taken. the committee he will name falls on War Bonds, it is the best possible alternative.

NO TIME TO FIGHT OUR ALLIES The idea that the United Nations, in the critical phase of their struggle to exist, should stage a seems out of place. Even if such a conference would not interfere with the prosecution of the war it | is not possible for the United States, Greai | Britain, Russia and China to determine, at | this time, the correct solutions to the ills of mankind. Moreover, let the United Nations eon- centrate upon the task of smiting barbarism | and brutality. Let them dwell together ir perfect harmony, without stirring dissen- sion by ill-timed meddling in the domestic problems that concern each other. The presumption is that we fight with our allies, not against them. There is no reason for Americans to twist the tail qf the | British lion, or prod the Russian bear. We have mere important work t6¢ éonelu | ungib, Hitler, Mussolini and Hirohito are un- EG mo1 horsed@' Phere must be no division. + irmavol So long as the Red army fights the Na- | zis it will pay us to permit the Soviet gov- ernment to handle the internal affairs im Russia. So long as the British Empire fights by our side, against Japan as well as Ger- many and Italy, we can profit by accepting the comradeship of arms without attemp: | ing to direct and reform the British way of life.

BANNELL OPENSii da post- war .America. the organized: strike and lock-out should not be revived! They must be prohibited by law. We know our democracy, based on the premise “mighdoes not make right,” is om trial Democracy will still be on trial after the war. We will have seen the collapse of the concept “might makes right.” To revert to pre-war methods of settling grievanees through the eco- nomic leverage of strikes and lock- outs is to prove we have gained little from the terrible experiences of this war. Once the grievances of manage- ment and labor have been established they should be referred to an impar- tial individual, or tribunal, mutually agreed upon. The arbitrator, or tri- bunal, should have authority to make final determination of the dispute. If the parties cannot agree on this pro- cedure of voluntary arbitration the law should compel them to plead their eases before a judicial body with power to enforce the award. Tl is the peaceful method. Man- aaempst and labor should resort to it’ asya definite example we have learnéd “might does not make right.” We cannot convince beaten, bewil- dgred peoples of the world we are capable of leadership unless our own | house is in order. | PROF. NUNN CHALLENGES: It is beeause E believe in democracy that I oppose legislation to outlaw strikes and lock-outs. Neither England nor Ameriea in this war has found it necessary to prohibit by law either strikes or lock-outs. If such legisla- tion, which is advocated by my oppo- nent, is desirable during peace it clearly should be even more desir- able while the nation is fighting for its very existence. Actually, one of the issues of this war is the right of workers to organize and bargain col- lectively for wages, hours and work- ing conditions. No such right exists in the totalitarian countries; these are democratic institutions. MR. BANNELL REPLIES: The right of workers to organize and bar- gain collectively for wages, hours and working conditions is unquestioned. These rights are truly democratic. The right to collectively enforce de- mands by force, through the strike or lock-out, and thereby dismiss the orderly methods of adjudication, is not democracy. Legislation compell- ing disputants to place their griev- ances before an impartial tribunal when voluntary methods have failed, is most desirable in war or in peace. Victory gained by strike or lock-out is not proof that the side which lost is wrong, or the side which won is right. It merely demonstrates the theory—“might makes right.” a | Prof. William L. Nann Chairman, N. J. State Beard of Me- diation; Pref., Labor Economies, ‘Newark University. 08t—$e————— PROF. NUNN OPENS: Admittedly, strikes and Iock-outs are wasteful of economic resources; are destructive of community values; breed damger- ous forms of class warfare. Even so, I eannot agree they should be pro- hibited by law in the post-war world. One cannot outlaw differences of opinion. Since these differences are ots to continue, those who argue form of compulsory arbitration cen- tering around Industrial Relationship Courts. The picture usually given is that the participants of a dispute appear before impartial judges and plead their respective cases around a chancery rail; finally they are re- quired by law to abide peacefully by the decision. However persuasive this may sound, the whole idea rests upon assumptions which are alien to our economic and political institutions. ‘Wages, hours, seniority clauses, work- ing conditions, policies of hiring and firing—and all other controversial issues—in the field of industrial re- lationships—will be established by law under any such system of com- pulsory arbitration. In my opinion, this is industrial autoeracy. I favor the extension of existing meqiatior and arbitration agencies on the fed- eral, state, and local levels, short of compulsory arbitration, because 1 think sueh plans lead to industrial demoeracy. MR. BANNELL CHALLENGES: Professor Nunn indicates abhorrence for establishing standards of wages, hours and working conditions. Stand- ards such as these must be inevitably set anyway if we are to enjoy indus- trial peace. A final determination of grievances arising between unions and managements can be obtained only by submission of the contro- versy to an impartial body—be private or judicial—authorized t render an enforceable award. Strikes and lock-outs gain nothing. They are economic wars, the barbarous methoa for. settling disputes. It certainly i> not alien to our economic and polit’ cal. institutions. to refer differences of opinion to tribunals for final adju- dication.: * PROF. NUNN REPLIES: Over the last two décades this country has been evolying an industrial relations policy. It does not call for the set- ting of wages, hours and working conditions by. government. The gov- ernment merely determines MINI- MUM standards, and says the actual standards are to be set by collective bargaining between unions and em- ployers. The job of government is to maintain a balance through such laws as*the Norris-LaGuardia Act, the National Labor Relations Act, ete. I: government removes from labor the right to strike, mo semblance of bal- anee will be maintained because labor will ‘have Tost its chief eco- nomic force.
