LIBERALS URGED Tn di am CTDnmn iu ruin oiiumu FOREIGN POLICY : Washington, Dec. 16 OJ.PJ Supreme Court Justice, William O. Douglas and Attorney Gen eral Robert W. Kenny of Cali fornia Joined tonight in calling for united action by American Liberals to maintain a strong foreign policy abroad and a progressive borne front program. Speaking at a meeting of the , National Lawyers Guild held in Kenny's honor, Douglas said he 1 felt the greatest problem facing the world was "the maintenance of a free society." "The way we manage it," he said, "may mean the life or death of our civilization. He said American Liberals "must be realists. We must ex- pect compromises and conces sions in foreign affairs, but we must adopt an attitude of mind which refuses to permit a wedge . to be driven between the allies." Douglas warned that unless human values are placed first in the world "there will be new foundations laid for war." Liberals, he said, "must work for positive rights at home, with equal opportunity for . all. If we fail at home we can hardly expect to win the fight for a free society on other continents."

See LeRoy Cling or Frank Humphrey HUMPHREY MOTORS 33 B. Riverside Dial 49S0 TO ALL MONTGOMERY WARD PEOPLE "J m The court of appeals of the District of i Columbia has held that orders of the War Labor Board are merely "advise" which no one has any legal duty to obey. The court held that anyone who refuses to comply with orders of the War Labor Board is not defying a command of the government and that since the orders are merely advisory no govern ment official has the right to impose punishment on those who do not comply. The Supreme Court has refused to alter this decision. 2 The reason given for the strike in Wards four De troit stores is that Wards has refused to comply with an order of the National War Labor Board. This order seeks to impose upon Wards a closed shop in the form of maintenance of membership together with the check-off of union dues from wages. ' , . J Wards has refused to agree to any form of closed shop, or compulsory union membership. The closed shop, including maintenance of membership, vio lates the American principles of liberty and free dom. Liberty requires that every employee be free to join, refuse to join or resign from a union with out losing his job. Liberty requires that Wards be free to employ workers, and to continue to employ them, on a basis of merit u n ion members and non-members alike. 4 Each employee at Wards is free to join cr not to join a union as he wishes. Wards fully recognizes this privilege and assures all employees that their opportunity with the company will be the same whether they are union members or hot. MONTGOMERY WARD AND CO. BEWELL AVERY.
