Vital Topics Are
Discussed At The
Labor Press Meet
NEW YORK CITY.—A discussion
packed, two-day conference of the
American Labor Press Association,
held here February 21 and 22 and at
tended by more than 300 delegate8
and visitors, was highlighted by
speeches delivered by Under Secre
tary of War Roberts P. Patterson,
Assistant Secretaray of Navy Ralph
A. Bard, and Mayor Fiorella La
Guardia.
The labor press editors and writers
were told they were doing an import
ant job well, and would have an im
portant duty to perform after the
war in assisting in planning the post
war economy, and educating and in
forming the workers. Several Fed
eral agency representatives partici
pated in the discussions.
Mr. Patterson said: “Once we
thoroughly appreciate the fact there
is no line of demarcation between the
bench and the trench, between the
machine worker and the machine
gunner, we will get a proper perspec
tive of the job we have got to do in
the field of production.
“I know of no group better quali
fied to hammer home the truths of
the situation than the labor press.
You speak for, and you speak to, the
rank and file of loyal, patriotic work
ers of America who form the back
bone of the nation,—and the back
bone of the American Army.”

For A Better Understanding Among All Of Us
IT ALL DEPEDNS ON ME!
By RUTH TAYLOR
The other day a friend who had just returned from England showed
ne a poster he had brought back. The background is a stormy sky,
through which the sun has broken to illuminate the figure of a woman
standing with outstretched arms, her hands grasping the hands of
others oneach side. The other figures are not shown—just the hands.
Beneath is a strong chain of single links, emphasizing the feeling
of uncountable thousands holding hands. Across the poster is the line
“It All Depends on Me.”
I have felt very humble ever since I saw that poster. This was
no challenging “It's Your Job. It’s Up to You. This is Your War.”
This was a confession of personal faith, a recognition of personal re
sponsibility. And it has made me think.
Am I facing the fact that this is my war? It is my way of life
that is at stake. J would not want to live in a world that denied those
simple virtues in which I believe, freedom of conscience and speech,
the right to worship my God according to my own belief, the sanctity
of the home, the freedom of the individual, the honor of the pledged
word, the governing of action by right rather than might. This is my
way of life. If it is to be retained, it all depends on me.
Am I working where I can be most useful in this, my war? Am
I shirking the job that I should do because it is tedious, or because
it will interfere with my accustomed routine? Am I serving in the
place where I can be of most good? I must make the most out of my
working strength and time, for—it all depends on me!
Am I mobilized for this, my war? Or am I clinging to non-essen
tials? Over and above my job, have I assumed my proper responsi
bility as a citizen in my own community? Have I streamlined my life,
made wise use of my time, and conserved my health? Am I putting
all my resources to work? Am I taking care to conserve that which I
have, to give up that which can be used for war-effort and am I buying
no more than is absolutely necessary, in order that my dollars may
help fight the battle? Money and goods are needed. This is a total
war—and it all depends on me! i
Am I keeping a soldierly self-control? Am I seeing to it that
the whispered rumor stops when it reaches me? That-I do not pass
on any divisive thought? Am I living my faith? Am I, who talk of
the glory and mind all holding out a friendly hand to my neighbor,
keeping from my heart and mind all prejudice and hatred toward any
one, regardless of class, creed, or color? Am I putting into daily
practice the ideals to which I give lip allegiance? Only in this way
can democracy endure—it all depends on me.
I cannot close this self-searching with a moral—but only with the
prayer,, in the words of the Psalmist, “Hold up my goings in thy
paths, that my footsteps slip not.” It all depends on me.
