Friday Morning, ApriTa 1945 Socialistic Nations Can't Be Iseit Out of Peace Plans, Dr. Lovell Tells Lions Club "International leaders tried to organize this world for lasting peace in 1919, leaving out the socialistic nations, andit didnt work then and it won't work now," Dr. R. Ivan Lovell - professor of History at Willamette university, told member nf h c.u Tj -...I Hotel Marion. The San Francisco peace and ed by the mayor to hold memor ial services' Sunday and to have their bells rung at the hour of the iunerat - . The Rev. a Russell - W. Myers, president of the Ministerial asso ciation, has asked Silvertnn chur ches to hold their memorial serv ices at 11 o'clock in connection with their regular Sundav mnrn- ing worship. , security conference scheduled to open April 25,M Dr. Lovell said, Nvill bring together all of the pre liminary approaches which have been made at other -Vital confer ences. The Dumbarton Oaks con clusions will play a great part Unlike the league of nations, the Oaks plan was drawn by 42 ex perts, technicians, of the! United States, Great Britain and Soviet Russia. . . E f. . : V , r ' "While the Oaks plan is far from being definite, it is concrete. The plan has been published arid shows that the great governments realize the people must have a part in formulating a "peace pro gram, i We liver in one worl4 but we cannot live as one people. fThat Js too idealistic because some parts of the world have different! eco nomic and political developments. i "The Oaks plan does notfeon template a one-world government, but an organization based on the sovereignty of all participating nations. It is significant that sig natories will agree to settlement of disputes, by. peaceful means; that members shall not use threats of war to accomplish an end; that members shall give no aid to agressorsr In the event of a war like move! f f The big question is whether or not members will have the! will and force to enforce peace by?non members. It is provided thaf dipt lomatie and economic sanctions shall be made anfnei mm that everything short of force shall be used and then if the pres sure is not strong enough, even arms may be called up to tame an aggressor. J t seems the big five, Britain, France, China, Russia and the United States may have to be con tent to let the single veto, as urged by Russia, become a part of such an I organization. Russia is still suspicious of the capitalistic coun tries, fearing they may combine against her. She ineicta that eV. kor any one of the big five, have hw rigni 10 veto any plan calling fort force of arms. , 5 "The League of Nations over looked ' Hitler's aggression when he overran 14 smaller nations. We are surely optimists if we believe that Great Britain, Russia and all their allies, minus the U. S could have defeated . Germany, or that Great Britain and the U. S, minus Russia, could have conquered the Germans. For that reason we must give a bit, ii necessary, to keep Russia in this organization. The five great powers, if kept to gether, control warfare and they can also control peace." : Oregon Gty Firm Will Build 70-Foot Wharf OREGON CITY, AprU 12.HP) A 70-foot wharf will be construct ed In the Willamette river by the Doernbecher Manufacturing com pany to provide water transport for its mill near here. !

D. Woodjw Distributor . S25-345 Center St i A Statement by General Motors TThE National Labor Relations Board has ordered a bargaining election among the foremen and other supervisory groups of a Detroit automobile company. This, company Is not aipart of General luoiors, DUt we are concerned with the prin ciples involved. f This confusing action by the Board means that it is sanctioning and promoting the unionization of management personnel, ; in spite of the. fact that the National Labor Relations Act includes as an employer - . any person acting in the interests of an employer directly or indirectly." . We are sure that Congress did not intend to approve unionization of management - when it passed the Act '. The results if applied throughout Industry would be bad for the management groups involved, bad for industry, bad for labor, bad for America. , Bad for Foremen We think it would be bad for foremen if '. American industry should be compelled to make a change in its proven type of ; organization, which would unavoidably re . duce the foreman's status, diminish his ; responsibility, authority and Influence : decrease his opportunities for personal . advancement. ; In General Motors, foremen have always had important responsibilities and authority. ' We have always guarded .the status of our . foremen, and have provided special training to improve their abilities, increase their 1 efficiency and enhance their opportunities for promotion to even more important man-: agement positions. The great majority of General Motors' principal executives at one' 7 time were foremen; t We are convinced that it would be impos i sible for. a foreman to follow both manage-' ment and union leaderships at the same time, and under those conditions to carry ,on all his duties as they now exist All -elements of management must have a com- ,: mon objective. i ! . It' would obviously be impossible, for in stance, for him as a fellow unionist with' ; those under him, to 'perform his function , which i-elate to .their working conditions wages, promotions and assignments on the -:; unbiased basis which is essential to good management ; - ; GENE THE POSITION OF FOREMEN IN GENERAL MOTORS In General Motors, joremen art tbt MAN AGERS of their departments. Ibej partici pate in establishing management policies in both production and personnel matters. Tbey bap full authority to approve or disapprove the hiring, to supervise the work, and to make work assignments of th employes under their supervision. They initiate wage increases, transfers and pro motions. They or directly responsible for tht efficiency and safety f their group. They hare full, authority when necessary to take immediate, appropriate discipli- , nary nction for Halation of shop rules, and '. other improper conduct of their employes. 1 They or th first point of management contact and make th first management decjsion on all patters relating to the em ployes under their direction. Bad for Industry From our experience both before and during the war, we are certain that the accepted American method of spreading managerial authority and responsibility among fore-men-so that management is in close, direct contact with comparatively small groups of workmen-is the best and only sound method of handling day-to-day relations with the thousands of employes engaged in modern mass production. 1 : I Anything which would require a change in this set-up would interfere with employer employe relations: and with production. 1. For example, there have been many strikes in war production plants, particularly in Michigan. Charges : have t been made that workmen have been loafing in plants en gaged in war production and that they are being paid high wages for not working. We are conscious that the public feels that there must be something wrong. The attempt to tear down the position and authority of fore men and to unionize members of manage ment is importantly contributing to this condition.;. ! ! LvV ';$";Y'C f.- :.-v,:' Bad for Labor As a matter of fact, the close-contact method is about the only way that manage ment and ;. labor lean work harmoniously together in large "organizations. Much is said these days about cooperation, It would be a serious handicap to any hope for teamwork and the pursuit of common interests, if anything were done to remove . this facility for knowing $nd' understand I ing each other. It is our firmsincere belief that loss of this close contact would make harmonious rela - tions between management and labor almost impossible and would interfere with prac tical collective bargaining. Bad for America The removal of foremen from their present position as a vital, integral part of manage ment would require reorganization of fac tory management on a basis far more complicated and decidedly less effective. Necessary factory discipline would suffer, worker efficiency would be impaired. We believe the effect on yoa-on the publit as a whole would be very! real. ) It would interfere with the war effort It would make war materials cost more. It would slow up postwar! reconversion to civilian production. 'i : " It would delay adequate postwar output of cars, refrigerators, ranges, furniture-all the things people need so much and have waited for so long. Finally-and, in the long run, perhaps most important of all-it would so increase pro duction costs as to boost prices and the cosl of living, and make the problem of reason ably full employment much more difficult!. i - '.I Action Caned For -When people have as deep a conviction about anything as we have about unioniadna management, they ought to do'methiiiff about it It the meaning of the National Labor Rela tions Act can be so confused as to promoti unionization of management-and thus im- a pairthe effectiveness-of the American pro duction system of which we are all so proud rthen the meaning ought to be cleared upt General Motors believes and hopes others will feel the same-that it is a patriotic duty, a duty to the foremen, to industry, to labor, and to the public as a whole-to oppose the unionization of ; management by every proper and lawful means, j That is our intention. .1 t. ... f . t and family. .
