AFL Urges Greater Role for U. S. Labor
In Conduct Of International Affairs
Washington.—The American
Federation of Labor called upon
the State Department to accord
the American labor movement
greater representation in interna
tional affairs and recommended a
4-point program as a basis for
United States foreign policy.
President William Green led a
delegation of AFL leaders who
conferred with Secretary of State
Dean Acheson and presented the
AFL recommendations.
The AFL group, representing its
International Labor Relations Com
! mittee, urged Secretary Acheson
I to create a new post in the State
Department the function of which
should be to keep top U. S. gov
ernmental leaders fully aware of
labor's activities in international
affairs and to facilitate the co
operation of the United States with
the independent activities of dem
ocratic labor on the world scene
in behalf of democracy and peace.
The proposal also urged the in
clusion of labor advisors who rep
■ esent the American trade union
movement in official U. S. delega
tions to the Economic Assembly
of the United Nations.
A statement submitted by the
AFL leaders emphasized that the
United States must not merely
ward off the blows and defeat the
aims of all forms of totalitarian
ism, but that we must enable the
European ERP nations “to rebuild
so soundly as to defeat commun
ism and become a magnet of at
traction, an ecomonic example and
a political hope for the oppressed
and depressed behind the iron
curtain.”
To accomplish this purpose the
AFL program proposed:
1. That the North Atlantic de
fense pact (which it endorsed)
encompass every democratic coun
try including Italy;
2. That supporters of German
militarism and nasism be exclud
ed from trusteeship in the Ruhr
Iron and steel industry while bona
fide free German trade unions be
accorded representation in this
trusteeship;
3. That the United States del
egation to the United Nations
support the AFL purpose to make
; it a crime against international law
for any government to organise or ;
support fifth column activities in a
country with which it is at peace. |
4. That Washington disapprove
all proposals to lend military aid j
or private financial loans “to the j
totalitarian dictatorship now ter
rorising the Spanish people."
The AFL program advocated
that United States opposition to
totalitarian crimes and prosecu
tions be reflected in its policy
toward South America, and espec
ially toward Venezuela and Peru.
The program referred to recent
statements by French Italian, and
other Communist leaders as to
their policy of supporting the
Soviet Union in the eveht of war.
The Thorez-Togliatti threats, it
was said, “may well foreshadow a
plan of the Russian imperialists
to invade Western Europe in the
near future,” and the Communist
declarations constituted “a brazen
notice to the victims-tb-be that the
Soviet fifth column is already at
hand to stab them in the back
when the Communist hordes from
the east move down upon them.”
Americanism Is Preferred In
Contest Staged By Workers
New York.—Five college stu-'
dents, three of them veterans,
picked "Americanism’* aa the ism
they would prefer to live under and
collected nearly $1,000 in prise
money in the “Ism Essay Contest"
conducted among U. S. colleges by
the Workers Education Bureau of
the AFL.
"Federalism,” however, waa the
choice of the first prise winner.
Jack R. Conrad of the Emory Un
iversity, Atlanta, Ga.
"Isms are moribund or dead,”
wrote Mr. Conrad. “The world of
tomorrow . . . cannot be a world
of ‘iamatic islands.’ Survival de
mands world organisation."
The second prize went to Her
man Weiner of Brooklyn College,
New York City.
“Continental Europe," he point
ed out, “has been fertile soil for
dogmas and messiahs . . . but the
spirit of critical inquiry in the
‘I’m from Missouri’ attitude of
Americans has helped thus far to
preserve us from all varieties of
would-be messiahs.”
Eugene Albert of Columbia Uni
versity, New York City, a wartime
navigator with the Army Air
Corps, declared in his third prize
winning paper:
“Americanism is, more than any
thing else, a product of the par
ticular historical development of
America itself. I choose American
ism because 1 have at my disposal
the whole of the American heri
tage . . .”
Fourth prize went to Robert
Fulton, a music major at the Uni
versity of Oregon.
The fifth prize winner, Edwin

Communism's Ten
Commandments
By T. A. STEELE. Lml TIL
K*mm City. M*.
I.
I am thy God and Master too,
Obey my will in all ye do;
Enshrine my name within thy
heart.
And bid all other gods depart.
II.
Where’er my image thou doth see,
Show thy respect with bended knee,
Lest thee and loved ones feel the
sting
My jealousy^jpll surely bring.
III.
If thou doth take my name in vain
Thy guilt will cause thee grievous
pain;
So speak of me in humble tone.
At market place and when alone.
IV.
Forget the Sabbath, do not rest.
But labor on and give thy best.
And see that all within thy gate
Shirk not unless they feel my hate.
V.
Respect thy parents ’till the hour
Hath come when they refute my
power;
Then break their aged hearts and
flee,
Forgetting all they did for thee.
VI.
Thou shalt not shirk or stop to take
The life of one if for my sake;
Let not compassion stay thy hand,
And in my favor thou shalt stand.
VII.
If thou hast children at thy door
Remember I have need for more;
So propagate, obey my laws!
Thy flesh and blood must fight my
cause.
VIII.
For me take from the rich and poor
At point of gun, and seek for more;
Heed not their pleas, no succor
give—
W’hat if they die? Must I not live?
IX.
If thou art called to make a choice
Twixt me and others let thy voice
Defend my cause though thou mult
lie;
Heed not the other’s '"Honest cry.
X.
If thou doth covet in thy mind
The things thy neighbor hath, go
find
A way to seise his goods, and then
Give unto me two-fold. Amen.
Lionel Exorsky, is a senior at
Brooklyn College. New York City.
The contest, titled. “What Ism
Do You Choose: Anarchism, Com-*
munism. Fascism, Solialism, Amer
icanism?’’ was based on the 40
year history of isms covered by
Lucy Robins Lang in her autobi
ography, “Tomorrow Is Beautiful.”
