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."

nounced by Larry Lamberger,
Portland Golf Club pro, and Joe
Mozel, a director of the Oregon
Professional Golfers association.
The open event, which was
staged annually until the out

well as some of the California
pros.

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.

BEWELL AVERY.
