Slanting the Newa
. A delegate at the AFL state convention in Astoria intro
duced the following resolution:
- -Wbexeas the daily press owes its existence to the moneyed
class, depending upon advertising from employers of large concerns,
land) practically every dally newspaper in the United States colors
all news affecting labor to create public sentiment against workers,
'suppresses news which would reflect to the credit of union labor...
fee it therefore resolved that the State Federation of Labor urge that
.a move be brought about through a concerted effort to establish
Tiewa broadcasts by radio columnists and in as many daily newspapers
-as possible throughout the United State which will editorially
' espouse' the cause mt organized labor."
4 , The resolution begins with wrong premise, asserts a false
charge and betrays its bias in the last sentence.
Newspapers do not owe their existence to the "moneyed
fClassv." They depend for their existence on mass circulation. If
;they have mass circulation they get advertising. Why do mer
: chants advertise in the Hearst press for example? Not because
they like the Hearst style of journalism, but because that style
"of journalism appeals to the consuming masses who form the
k 1 big maxket for merchandise.
: Next, newspapers do not "color" labor news to create sen
f.timent against workers. The newspapers of America through
Ibi period of crisis have printed all the pertinent news giving
5 the statements and views of leaders on both sides of industrial
"disputes. Editors hiv offered their own comments in their
-editorial columns; but only a handful of papers "slant" the
. ;rews or the headlines to prejudice the public mind against
Tabor. Trained men, skilled in news handling, write and edit
the news stories and in actual operations neither editorial writ
ers ror publishers take any hand in treatment of news on the
Industrial front.
v : Finally the purpose of the resolution becomes evident when
; if calls for a "concerted effort" to channel news by newspapers
snd radio stations which will "editorially espouse the cause of
organized labor.' What , is Wanted is not uncolored news, but
news colored in favor of the labor side.
Labor was underdog a long time. It now is topdog and not
using its powers too sensibly. It is the abuse of newly-won power
with resulting grave injury to the whole economy which brings
protests from the public and from newspaper editors. Instead
of resenting this criticism labor should correct its conduct.

WASHINGTON. D. O, June 13.
A plea that funds for ap

the labor department's 1947 ap
propriation bill was made to the
house appropriations committee
today by Representative Walter
Norblad.
Oregon, the representative said,
iS one of the first states to par
ticipate in this program. The com
mittee approved $1,800,000 for the
work.
j Most of the raining program
hks been carried out in Portland,
Norblad said, adding
I "The state. apprenticeship coun
cil desires to extend the program
over the state, and to this end. 26
local councils have been estab
lished. These local or area coun
cils must have technical assistance.

English Food,
Fuel Ration
Bomb damages, queues for ra
tions and scarcity' of food, fuel
and clothing are still much in
evidence in England. R. W. Land
told Salem Lions club Thursday
upon his return from a two-month
visit with relatives in England.
Land asserted that the morale
of the English civilians is slipping
because the end of war has not
improved their living conditions,
and the apparent reason for this
has been that country's emphasis
on exporting in order to regain
world trade lost during the war.
Food and clothing seemed plen
tiful in Brussels, Belgium, and
Dublin. Ireland, when he visited
there. Land said. By contrast he
cited as typical English civilian
rations three ounces of butter, one
egg and 26 cents worth of meat
per week and, in the fuel line,
a ton and a half of coal per year.
Land made the trip entirely by
plane. He said it took but IS
hours to cross from New York
to Ireland, but took 18 hours to
travel by rail the 400 miles from
Scotland to Bristol.

Neil MacNeiL assistant managing editor of the great New
York Times, writes in his paper that the soviet union is de
liberately contributing to the current "world confusion." He
asserts their agents or sympathizers work in American activi
. ties, particularly In the field of communications (newspapers,
magazines, radio, etc.) to control or color the flow of informa
tion. MacNeiTs testimony merely confirms what our own spe
cial contributor Paul Ma lion has said frequently in his column,
lie has made frequent use of the word "confusion" as the design
of the communist partisans. This is old stuff in labor disputes,
where the reds prefer not peace, but strife and do their best to
prevent successful collective bargaining. People of the country
need to be on guard against this inspired confusion and keep
their own balance of thinking.

WASHINGTON, June 1J Mr. Byrnes wetit forth to the latest
fray ie. farts to sJericie the fate of thefworld in a somewhat different
spirit than' he went before - - and also from the British.
Last time he threatened to make treaties sep-.
rati from recalcitrant Russia if necessary to gain a
peace. This time he took the view "If we fall It Is a
defeat for mankind.
By contrasts, the British Mr Bevin was sent on
' his way with the strong Docking of parliament. Some
. Inner reports suggest the labor party conference
may let critics of Bevin loose, but this can hardly
suggest St weakening of policy, as conference action'
has already been arranged to reject the communist
party appijeation -for affiliation and debar it from
even seeking admission to the labor party again.
Equally indicative of unified British parliamen
tary backing was the almost full agreement between
the Bevin and Attlee Labor speeches to parliament
and the Churchill opposition speeches. The. tone of parliament was
perhaps aeeuratety portrayed in a speech unreported in this country
by H. Strauss, member from the English universities who said:
""The issue is txtween the rule ofhvw and despotic power. If Mr.
Bevin eould not succeed in maintaining the principles he regarded as
essential, the house would forgive him if he came back confessing his
failure. What it would not forgive was if he abandoned any of those
va!ues vital to survival of our civilization,'
Caoseratfoe, oo vTaae? . 1
But Mr. Byrne went bock proclaiming he wouftr not again pre
. st aay proposal to the conference of fureign ministers along with
Britasa. This may hove Indicated a wilting of cooperation between
the two leading free democracies, which would be just what Russia
. wanted, as she has charged there jrist an Anglo-American "bloc."
The British have a different idea of this also. Churchill said;
"To form a bloc was a crime, according to every communist in every
land unless it be a communist bloc. Attlee substantially assented to
this interpretation, and the further Churchill assertion that the com
munists thought it was "s bloc te be on good terms with your neigh
bor, whereas Russia has not only formed a bloc through Europe and
Asia, but 11 keeping an Iron curtain around it.
Strauss gave the key to what may be British tactics when he ob
served the reily way to deal with the Russians was to stick to truth
and make them stick to it "Nothing should be held back out of a
sense of fear. he wisely said.
ys r at las 11 ossxcS
The contrasts of these British and American (Byrnes) farewell
- talks offer a perplexing prospect at the begiiuilng of the conference.
which7 cannot be answered by any inside information I have been
aoie to ootain nere. is Anglo-American cooperation to be broken?
Has It already been broken? Does Mr. Byrnes really mean what he
said or is be just talking Russian? While these Inquiries cannot be
answered safely except by events at Paris, it may be accurately re
ported that his statements indicate no determination, similar to Brit
v sun's, especially to face the truth of the matter, such as. for instance,
'-in Germany (mala point before the conferees). In the Russian rone,
a communist state has been set up; in our rone and in the British zone,
two separate free democracies are operating. The Russian totalitar
ian state is simply not soluble with either of the free states, although
fhe two free states are compatible and could be combined.
It would be a far greater defeat for mankind for us to turn free
states, ever to Russia than for Mr. Byrnes to fail to get a deal with
Russia.

of their opportunity. They got
the senate appropriations commit
tee to Ue an amendment to the
treasury department appropriation
bill which lifts the selling price
for silver (and the buying price)
at 90.3 cents starting July 1 next
and then makes the legal price
$1.29 an ounce starting July 1,
1948. This is three times the pre
war price for silver. Eastern sen
ators are expected to fight the
increase, but the little silver bloc
by playing politics with other
groups, has tnem cornered, ana
they will have to capitulate. The
world price on silver is now about
80c an ounce.
The irony is that this raid on
the treasury benefits only a very
small group of people, the en
richment . going chiefly o the
mining corporations. The instance
is an excellent example of how
pressures applied at a few sen
sitive points can impose minority
wilj on the majority. The ally of
the silver bloc in the past has
been the cotton bloc primarily. It
is doubtful if the death ' of its
leader. Senator John Bankhead of
Alabama, will affect the alliance.
The treasury will continue, at in
creasing cost, to "do something
for silver."
