PLAN AGAINST INFLATION
The best guarantee against inflation has been offered by labor
itself. The program submitted to Congress and to President
Roosevelt by the 'American Federation of Labor is a sure cure
for inflation if it is faithfully carried out.
For instance, the newspapers and the employers assert that
if more money is put into the pockets of American workmen in
the form of wage increases, this additional buying power inevit
ably will result in inflation.
Now inflation is more dangersou to a poor worker than to
a millionaire. As president Green pointed out, the millionaire
stands to lose only part of the value of his wealth from inflation,
whereas the worker may lose his bread and butter, his health and
even life itself.
So to guard against such disastrous inflation, the AFL pro
gram provides that in the future wage increases shall be paid in
whole or in part in the form of war bonds—a special series of
bonds that could not be converted into cash until after the war.
This plan demolishes the argument that wage increases result
in inflation, because it will be impossible to spend the money until
after the war, when it will come in handy as an offset to possible
deflation.
“LET’S GO U. S. A.—KEEP ’EM FLYING”
“FIGHT - WORK - SAVE”
PRESIDENT ASKS HIRING
OF WORKERS OVER 40
There is a place for men and other
workers past 40 in the gigantic war
production program, according to
President Roosevelt’s proclamation of
National Employment Week.
They are needed in jobs for which
they are already fitted, “and there is
a place for them in job-training
courses designed to build up the skills .
of the Nation’s manpower,” the Proc- '
tarnation continued.
“It is not on a basis of patriotism
alone that employers are urged to I
open their doors to older workers, but
on the basis of sound business sense
as well, for it should not be forgot- j
ten that these older workers have
qualifications that younger persons
lack. Work experience, stability, and
responsibility are assets we can not
afford to waste in this crisis.”
Employers must cooperate in plac
ing men and women of middle age, the
President declared. “While inviting
the attention of private industry to
the necessity for training and employ
ing older men and women, I am also
hereby calling upon all Federal agen
cies taking part in the training of
workers in various skills to intensify
their training activities for older
workers in order that we may utilize
our full manpower.”
MEDAL DESIGNED
TO AWARD HEROIC
AMERICAN SEAMEN
Admiral Emory S. Land, Chairman
of the' United States Maritime Com
mission, announced that Paul Man
ship, famous sculptor, had been re
quested to create a design for a dis
tinguished service medal to be award
ed merchant seamen who show out
standing conduct or service in line of
duty.
A committee within the Maritime
Commission was established under
Vice Admiral A. P. Fairfield as chair
man to examine reports of heroic and
outstanding deeds of merchant sea
men who have braved enemy attacks.
This is the first time such recognition
has been extended to the seamen of
the American Merchant Marine.
WISDOM
All experience hath shown that
mankind are more disposed to suffer,
while evils are sufferable, than to
right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed.
—Thomas Jefferson.
