Indorsed It Four years ago a Salt Lake educator who Ld not pretend to be a politician orx a diplomat prepared published and presented to the people of the world a plan for establishment of universal peace As parliaments and prospective participants in an International convention to be called upon termination of the war had been giving the matter serious thought some study and fcestant utterance the Salt Lake man’s program was laid aside as peace had become an chsssion with almost everybody of all nationalities including members of the van- quished axis It has proved to be a case of misplaced eonfidence After two years of intermittent wrangling peace seems to be as far from readiiation as it was during the actual war Nothing proposed by any popular government of independent people appeals to totalitarian rulers whose policies are more inimical to the future cf mankind than were those of Hitler and MussoLrJ After vainly trying to reach an agreement on issues that have to be resolved

out of the many that appear from time to time provide material for optimistic reflections on the future of Utah and the whole intermountain region The other day officials of a veteran air transportation company paid Sait Lake City a visit during which they expressed the idea thatthe Utah capital is regarded as a hub of air travel for this section At the same time the head of a local financial firm pointed out the improved economy this state has enjoyed in the postwar period Terrell C Drinkwater president of the Western Air Lines and the general traffic manager for the firm Arthur F Kelly were high in their praises of Salt Lake's geographical advantages The Western Air Lines intends to concentrate on the travel potentialities of the west and the exploitation of Salt Lake City as a center of tourist interest Mr Drinkwater said The encouraging aspects of Utah’s population gams and industrial possibilities were stressed by Thomas T Taj lor head of the Prudential Federal Savings and Loan association in a recent address before the Kiwanis club He explained that a 23 per cent increase in population of Utah as compared with the national increase of 73 per cent during the past sx years has increased markets Although these are but two instances of the general feeling of optimism voiced by businessmen they serve to point the way this section is headed It is faith in this

WASHINGTON— How to meet Infiltration of communists into key posts in labor unions and political groups and organizations is a problem that is being kicked around constantly to plague the progressive forces Varying solutions are offered The problem while serious enough In itself has been exaggerated in the emotion whipped up over the communist issue by interests exploiting that issue and anything they can possibly relate to it Their aim is to try to discredit honest and sincere progressivism progressives and This general emotionalism has taken all the disturbing forms with which the public has become familiar in recent months One of the most extreme for example is the ban against G L education benefits for communist war veterans written by the house veterans committee into a pending bill

tensions that follow such a great upheaval as union unless all of Its officers declare under oath that they are not members of the Communist party and do not favor overthrow of the government by force or by unconstitutional ld means In his veto message President Truman while favoring the objective suggested that this proposed remedy would have the opposite effect from that intended by congress and would only create "confusion and disorder which Is exactly the results the communists desire” Its actual effects must of course await developments There is another way to get at the problem which already has been taken by some labor unions with communist troubles That is for the organization to police itself by vote of its own would seem membership This more In the more democratic American tradition and more effective in the long run because the cure would be effected internally It Is applicable likewise to organizations other than labor y bill The covers only labor unions A fine
