Women Do Their BiT War u no longer 'a man's game. Men still march onto battlefields and fire guns and fly planes but that's about as far as their exclusive rights to war go these days. . In this era of mechanized and technological warfare, the battle is or.ly the manifestation of the real war work carried on at home. "Hie present responsibilities shouldered by the distaff portion of the population in both France and Britain far exceed ex-ceed those carried by women in the struggle of 1914-18; although al-though even then, war had ceased to be a job for soldiers alone. Before the World war, there were only SO women to every 100 men employed in England. In 1918, female workers work-ers had picked up so many jobs left by soldiera that the ratio had risen to 3G women rer 100 men. Last year, England had 42 women for every 100 men workers. It is estimated that when the war gets into full swing and men now in factories are called to the colors, there will be 8-r women for every 100 men working in England. Of the 22.63C.000 jobs, 10,449,000 will be filled by female workers. . France today has 230,000 women workers busy in its munitions industry. Many of them are wives of soldiers who never before had a job, but who have taken over their husband's hus-band's places in the factories. Some are dressmakers and seamstresses, and others have been garnered from industries that have suffered from decreased activity as a result of the war. ' Wherever possible, France is working wives only half a day to permit them to spend the remaining time caring for their households. These women have not merely been shifted from one field to another; they have been given additional duties while their chores as housewives remain the same. War in the modern style is rea'lv fought at home. It is far behind the lines where material must be produced for anrie3, where food must be processed and apportioned, where clothes must bo made, where morale must be maintained. The moment a national economy wavers in wartime, a nation is lost. , ., . r The mass of people never really wants war. It is caught up in the parade and finds no escape.. It i3 willing to turn the tabe on its leaders whenever a campaign becomes shaky. ; "Whenever war hits these days, everyone is in it -from the oldest patriarch down.

No More Reds The American Civil Liberties Union became the first liberal organization to take definite action against Communistic Commun-istic ar.d Fascitis influences when the Union's governing committee and board of directors both voted to bar persons bel.jr.jring to organizations "with obvious anti-democratic objectives or pi actices." ".-.- Many Stalinist sympathizers will shortly set up a howl. But by its gesture, the Civil Liberties Union has won the applause of thousands of Americans, whose approval is more important than that of Beds and Fascists.- i . . , The name of the organization clearly states its objective. Anyone subscribing to tenets of the Civil Liberties Union-, and, at the same time, upholding either Stalinism or Iliticr- ism. is the clearest kind of hypocrite. No organization, pro fessing' to safeguard American rights and liberties, can afford to encourage that type of member.

What he had in mind was a Youth Congress which would contain con-tain no Communists or "fellow travelers," but which, would con tain . such g roup aa the ioy Scouts and the Catholic youth groups, and which would enjoy the support of the American le- gon and substantial business interests. in-terests. - - Ot. Barking In South Fight Plavner did not make his fight as an unsupported free lance. For some years he has worked for Victor "Bidder, New York publish er and former WPA administrator in New York, aa a writer and ad vertising: representative. On his arrival In Washington, he Issued a long statement denouncing the Youth Congress's record in re gard to Communism a statement signed by Bidder and a number of rromtnent citizens. Plavner did not have definite, binding promises of adherence or support from the groups which he hoped to see given dominant places In the Youth Congress; but he was in Intimate touch with people who are highly Important in those groups. " Bidder, for Instance, is a direc tor both of the Boy Scouts and of Catholic Youth, as well as of the Boys' Clubs of America. Homer JU Chalilaux. another signer of the statement-Plavner - biaued, directs the Legion's National Americanism American-ism Commission. Another, signer was John M. Schiff, a director ot the. Boy Scouts; another was Gene Tunney, who like Bidder is- a director di-rector of the Boy Scouts, Catholic Youth, and Boys' Clubs of America. Amer-ica. ; Drops Plan For v ' Separate Organization 'During the fall, Plavner had in mind setting up a rival group to the American , Youth v Congress. He discarded that plan, however. Now he says:. . , .. -'There can't he two youth movements. . " There's . .only , , room for one. . "It can continue to-be a Com munist front, or ; it can be truly representative of all American youth and, make a real. effort to solve youth's problems instead of simply trying to . undermine youth's confidence - in our Institutions.

' : So: a War Labor Administration is proposed for directing this work: It is one of several admmistrauons unaer uvuf. The war labor administration is to "provide machinery -'f or the equitable and" voluntary distribution distribu-tion of labor, skilled and unskilled, unskill-ed, male and female, to industry and agriculture during the war . period and ' to further , to the utmost ut-most the war effort while "causing ' the ; least . possible disruption : to normal industrial effort" Industries are classed as (a) those directly engaged in the production pro-duction transportation and storage, stor-age, of supplies ' for tthe armed forces, (b) those engaged indirectly indirect-ly in such activity, (c) those thus engaged in handling essential supplies sup-plies for the civilian population and (d) all others. . . , ' ' The operating functions of the administrator of war labor -. from the time of mobilization are, in co-operation with 1b- " dustry, (a) to determine labor '' ea,uirements, 'b) to f III those requirements , by bringing . together to-gether the job and the worker and (c)7to keep together, so far as conditions will permit, the job and the worker, the spampHIct sfatesVf - - i "Should the! magnitude of the war warrant it, an additional addi-tional operating function will .be that of supervision over the Industrial education and me- , rhanical training of labor required re-quired by industry : for necesr sary expansion or in replacement replace-ment of men taken Into the armed forces ...'"- "The administrator should be an. outstanding citizen who is thoroly familiar with the problems enter ing into the relationship , between employer and employe and who is capable of dispassionate judgment in their solution. ' He should have the complete confidence of ; both management and labor in industry' indus-try' - . ..':' . The war labor administration Is to have an advisory council consisting con-sisting of four representatives of industry, four of labor and two of the general public, all appointed by the president. , . "Among ; the principal questions," ques-tions," the pamphlet states, "to be considered by the advisory councU are: Measures , to prevent grievances griev-ances of employers or em-ployes, em-ployes, whether actual or imagin ary, from interfering with war production. "2 The. effect of organization of -. employers into , trade associations associa-tions and of labor Into trade unions and the effect of the maintenance of the right of collective bargaining bargain-ing between such organizations on industry's ability to meet the material ma-terial requirements of the. armed forces., fr ' . - "O Standards of wages, hours of . labor, and working conditions. 4 Equality of pay for identical . work. Necessity for the modification modifica-tion of the statutory workday ,with due regard for the national necessity and the welfare of labor. g Maintenance of maximum production in all .war work, and the suspension for the period of actual emergency and a reasonable reason-able adjustment , thereafter of restrictive re-strictive regulations not having the force of law which unreasonably unreason-ably limit production." An IMP employment service Is setup. Says the pamphlet: "It will utiUze fully existing governmental employment . . services and ;. will co-operato closely with all state and .municipal .mu-nicipal employment services serv-ices .., , ..,' "Itequestg for labor by essential es-sential Industries within the ' states will be filled by the state employment service to which the operations of the federal employment service ; ha'e been decentralized." That just v about relieves labor unions, - their officials and representatives repre-sentatives of their functions during dur-ing the war emergency. Once sur rendered, can the rights be re gained?

Inasmuch as 'A UTAII FAHM-ER" FAHM-ER" used your jagcs to misintcr-prete misintcr-prete me,vI beg your indulgence for my answer. . According to Webster and authorities on political politi-cal ; economic terms, I am not a free-trader, for i I believe In protection pro-tection to deserving industries and .agriculture, but not protection for inefficiency, and I am willing to let a board of trained men, but not a. band of log-rolling politicians determine when protection should be applied. , .1 judge from the appearance of "A UTAH FARMER S'' article of Monday, Feb. 5V 1940, the man "afraid to sign his name" heard only what he wanted, to hear and took this i opportunity to ' unload a political attack for which he found no, other opportune opening. Therefore I beg your further indulgence in-dulgence to put in print what I actually said at that time, for I happen to have my secretary's I' quote only a part of my, comments com-ments on the ' reciprocal -. trade agreements. The statements I made are still true. "The J reciprocal trade system marked a real departure from the well-established , American practice prac-tice of increasing tariffs which came to a climax with the Smoot-Hawley Smoot-Hawley bill, ill received everywhere every-where in the world, j Before 1934 this country had made little use of tariff bargaining. . This country had but a single schedule, fixed by Congress from .time to time VVe had developed commercial treaties and executive agreements with different i countries, but few of them dealt with tariff. What little experience we had with tariff tar-iff bargaining was disappointing. "This change we made to trade bargaining can be explained largely large-ly by the drastic changes ' that came to our economic conditions. American exports had been reduced re-duced from $3,781,000,000 in 1930 to $1,647,000,000 in 1933. Our trade had suffered more disastrously disast-rously than the trade of any: other major nation. Whereas we held 16 3. per cent of the world export trade ?h 1 1929. wef had only 12.7 per cent in 1932. Not only had economic conditions ' gone bad for the world during those year, they nad gone from bad to worse . tor exact codv of my comments, on the occasion. In the interest of space, the United States, we were laKing more than bur share of the depression depres-sion in fact we were , only doing 60 per cent of our 1929 business. ThU loss was partly due to the decrease in jpurchaslng power, but It was also due to the Increasing burden of trade restrictions -which foreign countries were placing upon us because of the Inauguration Inaugura-tion of our all-time high tariff policy in the Smoot-Hawlcy bill. In fact, according to Prof. "Taussig, "Taus-sig, one of this country's best tax and tariff authorities. Europe had been in a mood to experiment with lower tariffs, i when America's wave of congressional log-rolling turned her uplifted tariff face to the world and moved the trend in the opposite direction. It showed show-ed that so far . as world economic cooperation was concerned, this country, was out of the picture. Resentment against . the united States influenced the political leaders lead-ers of other countries .when hesitating, hesi-tating, between, alternative recovery recov-ery policies, to choose the way of higher tariffs. When Cordell Hull became Secretary of State he made it a part ot his folicy to promote world peace by reducing reduc-ing economic tension." ARTHUR GAETH." (To Be Continued) .
