UNITED FREE WORLD
CM DEFEAT RUSSIA
Washington. — The AFL La
bor's Monthly Survey said in its
current issue that the industrial
strength of the United Slades
and western Europe democracies
is 4 or 5 times that of Russia
and its satellites.
The democracies have used
their industries to create higher
living standards while USSR
has diverted her production to
military equipment and left her
people in direst poverty. The
charts show that while the steel
production of USSR and her sat
ellites is scarcely more than one
fifth that of the democracies,
' she has almost 7 times as many
tanks, a larger air force, and is
maintaining and equipping a
vastly larger army.
History has shown an inter
esting parallel to the present sit
uation. After the Napoleonic
wars in the early 1800s, Europe
was threatened as today wth ag
gression from powerful Russian
forces. In those days the same
European nations which today
are. members of the Atlantic
Pact, made a united and un
yielding stand against her imper
ialist drive, with the result that
Russia finally withdrew to her
own boundaries.
Stalin is a realist and under
stands determined resistance as
was well illustrated in Berlin on
May 28. Although the commun
ists had boasted that “by Whit
sunday all Berlin will tie ours,”
the planned invasion never came
off—because the three* occupying
powers stood their ground and
backed the voluntary resistance
of the free Berliners with armed
force. .This experience is a good
guide for the future. Russia to
day is under a red czar, but as
in 1800s. she understands the
meaning of united resistance.
We cannot forget that being1
ready to resist armed aggression!
is only the negative part of the
free world’s task. We are en
gaged in a crusade for human
betterment. Our first task is to
insist on principles of law and
justice in international relations,
whether in the United Nations
or elsewhere, and to provide a

lH; t
Geneva,—The credentials com
mittee of the International Labor
Organisation secom mended that
the conference refuse to seat vw
Venezuelan worker delegate,
Teofllo Morales, and his four ad
visers.
The committee found that the
Venezuelan government had not
discharged its obligation to
choose the worker delegtien in
agreement with the mast repre
sentative workers organization.
The committee’s report recalled
that a Venezuelan decree of 1948
had suspended certain constitu
tional safeguards which were
“especially important for trade
unian activities.” A year later,
the report continued, the Ven
rsulean government dissolved the
Confederation of Workers of
Venezuela and its affiliated "un
ions.
In March, 1949, the report add
ed, a further decree added other
restrictions to the independence
of the unions. Furthermore, the
committee said, the government
had imprisoned certain trade un
ion leaders.
It followed, .the report contin
ued, that the Venezulean work
ers delegation “has inevitably
been chosen from among the
candidates put forward by or
ganizations which do not have
the representative chorait^r’’ re
quired by the ILO’s constitution.
Declare your independence by
buying Independence Bonds.
ity for spiritual and intellectual
growth for every individual
We of the West are materially
powerful. Our moral, intellect
ual and technological heritage is
overwhelming. These resources
should be wisely and fully used
to build a world along Itfies
which will benefit all, not just'
some, of mankind. Such a pro
gram wil have all the strength
to beat back the incursions of
barbaric ideologies, and in the
long run will cause them to
wither away because they ignore
the truth that man ia a spiritual
aa well as a materia] being.
