WULBERN for CONGRESS Campaigning for: Labor (1) Retention and broadening of the Wages-and-Hours law as far as consistent with the necessities of sound business. In addition the adoption by national law of a system of compulsory profit-sharing, by all businesses except the small est. Larger incomes for work ers without imposing addition al burdens on business. Only businesses showing profits par ticipate. This is not a tax nor a relief program, but direct profit-sharing between workers and owners of a particular plant. This system is in vol untary operation now by a few large businesses, notably a St. Louis shoe company. Farmers (2) Retention and broadening of the present system of farm relief. In addition, the finding of new markets for certain of our larger crops with the aid of government subsidization. Take wheat, for instance. Roughly, at one year beef cat tle average 1,000 pounds. At two years, 2,000 pounds. Fat ten cattle for the second year on surplus wheat , and other grain and sell them. If domes tic disposal would upset the market, recapture our beef ex porting market. If necessary, exchange this beef for foreign products, rubber, metals, sugar, coffee, to keep a year’s supply or more on hand, in govern ment hands. This is in co-or dination with the “ever-nor “The Only Competent Liber; mal”' storage program advo cated by Vice-President Wal lace. The Unemployed (3) The beginning now of the erection of a system of ware houses to store foreign pro ducts to avoid emergency shortages as we now have. There is no shortage of cement or sand. Only two-thirds of the capacity of the cement in dustry is now being used, says the Portland Cement Associa tion. Train workers thrown out of employment now to build these warehouses now, roofs, walls and floors, out of this durable, economical, and plentiful material. Small Business <4) Further the National De fense program by calling into action all of the productive ca pacity of the nation’s facilities. Avoid ruin for small manufac turers excluded from fabricat ing for defense, by requiring by law that the successful bid der shall sublet from twenty to twenty-five per cent of the work. This is practicable in a majority of the cases. General Benefits <5) We are at war principally because the League of Nations failed. It failed because of two principal defects in its membership and organization. These reasons are, first, that the United States of America was not a member, and, sec ond, that the League of Na tions had no means of en forcing its edicts. Neither private, city, county, state, national, nor interna tional law can be enforced without policemen. Take the equipment and ships of the Axis nations, when they are defeated, and organize an international army, naval, and air force. Base it on territory, taken from the defeated na tions in strategic spots. Sup port it by voluntary and en forced annual contributions from all the nations of the world. This will be surer, and cheaper in money and lives, than militarization of each nation. Campaigning Against: (1) Lax and losing conduct of a war. Take the airliners from the airlines and transport troops and equipment to the theaters of war. As to every bit of territory the Allies now hold and lose a life in holding, it will take three lives to re-J gain.
