No enterprise can operate without laborers and the money they invest in stocks to keep them going or without the country’s resources which rightfully belong to all Because a few men are enough to see the vast possibilities of our natural resources should they be allowed to grab those resources for their own selfish aggrandizement and enslave the remainder of the populace to materialize their dreams? Why should a man who is endowed with greater mental powers than another be entitled to more of nature’s bounties than one with less mental ability but with physical prowess? Would there be strikes if the products of labor were equally distributed among those whose labor creates them? Strikes will continue so long as one class of men exploits another class g creates viciousness and avarice fills the over-lorof industry with lust for more power and gain for themselves and intolerance for those under their dominance and fills Letter appearing In this column do not expres the view of Ihe Tribune They are the pplnJona of contributors with which Tne Tribune may or may not agree The follow Ing rules govern contributions: 1 Letters limited to 300 words Preference given to short commuWrite legibly and nication 2 clearly on one side of the paper only 3 Religious and racial discussions barred Partisan comment can be printed only with true name of writers 4 Personal aspersions Pro A hlbited Poetical contributions 6 Letters may be not wanted barred for obvious misstatements of fact or for statements which are not In accord with fair play and 7 The Forum is not an good taste advertising medium 8 Writers must true names and addresses In sign will Ink Letters unless partisan be carried over assumed name If In all cases writer so requests however true n&ma and address must bs attached to communication 0 Tha Forum cannot consider more than one letter from tha aama writer at ooa time fore-sighte- d the exploited with hatred toward their exploiters Can a man’s soul be filled with brotherly love for another if he is compelled to work to the limit of his endur-ancuntil he is broken in mind and body has no home no time for leisure no money for plea- sure while his labor is providing other with luxurious mansions costly cars yachts trav els and daily amusements?

The reason it is not likely the opposition will be frightened off either by tno bellowing of Mr Robinson the cooing of Mr Roosevelt or the outpourings of inspired propagandists is because in it are included the Democrats of real courage and conviction in the senate Copyright 1937 for The Tribune " OO McIntyre world-wid- court-packin- One is because the president’s first publio appeal — last February —on this subject distinctly was not effective Another is because he has suffered in public esteem through the weakness of' his course in the strike situation and because the political alliance with the C I O has offended a good many people who voted for him last year Another is because of the clarity With which It has been demonstrated that the bulk of the people are against him on this plan strongly with the senators who oppose it-- It is difficult to believe that these will not be supported by the people in filibustering to defeat a measure of which they— of On are so completely convinced he contrary it would seem that -
