WHAT DO WE WANT? By RUTH TAYLOR What do we want after this war? WE WANT UNITY—not a unity of regimentation of men but a unity of ideals. We may differ about the road we take to achiere them, but if we head for the same goals, the end will be right. "Many roads Thou hath charted. All of them lead to the light,” the poet said. WE WANT FREEDOM FROM WAR. We want to have our children grow' up to a world untroubled by war—to the consciousness of a future before them, not to be cut down in the bloom of their youth in each succeeding generation. We want to enable them to plan lives of service that will develop and grow and bring good to the world, and not be disrupted and delayed by the exigencies of warfare. WE WANT FREEDOM FROM WANT. We want to turn our great resources, our great talents to the needs of peace. We want to work out the solution to our economic problems, that all people may have a chance to live and to live better. We want to fight the battles of disease and poverty. We want to save lives, rather than to slav hapless thousands on battlefields all over the world. WE WANT TO PUT TO ROUT ONCE AND FOR ALL THE FALLACY THAT THE STRONG MUST CONTROL THE WEAK BECAUSE THEY ARE STRONG. We want to give strength to the weak, not weaken the strong. We want to live up to our creed of equality before God and the law. and to see to it that no man need fear if he speaks and acts the truth as he sees it. We want freedom and equality for all the people of all the earth. We want to destroy selfishness whether it be of men or nations. The victory we desire is great. It CAN be achieved if we win the victory first over ourselves, if we put into practice in our own lives what we want for the world.

Masterton, Head Plumbers Union, Dies Suddenly —V— WASHINGTON, D. C. — George Masterton, one of Americas ablest and most effective labor leaders died suddenly at his home h^re on July li. He was President of the United Asso ciation of Journeymen Plumbers and Steamfitters of America. His death came just a few days be fore his 58th birthday and while he was preparing to leave for an extend ed tour of South American countries as a delegate representing the Amer ican Federation of Labor. . The strain of heavy war duties told on Mr. Masterton’s endurance. Besides guiding the affairs of his union which played an acLve part in the war construction and shipyaid programs, he served as a member of the Labor Production Division of the War Production Board and also as a member of the Shipbuilding Stabiliza tion Committee._ SOME SALT SALESMAN! Went into Weinberg’s general store and noticed shelf after shelf of salt —and when 1 went downstairs to get what I needed, there were more shelves of salt. This struck be rather strange and 1 said to Weinberg: ’Vou must sell an awful lot of salt here “No,” I don’t sell any salt at all, but the guy who sells me salt, gosh, can he sell salt.” Convenient PAMCER-GARDNER 00. ns W.
