No Labor Candidate
There are 16 million labor union members in the United States today. This represents a large section of the voters of the nation. When considered along with family members and non-union workers whose welfare is tied closely to organized labor, the labor bloc has around 25 million voters. In most states they hold the balance of power.
Labor's vote elected and re-elected Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presidency four times. When labor voted for Roosevelt, it knew what it was getting. Although a large part of the Democratic leaders were anti-labor, the New Deal element under Roosevelt controlled national policies. Labor had a friend on whom it could depend for guidance and support.
Of course there are a couple of other candidates. J. Strom Thurmond stands for states rights, race superiority, and exploitation of southern labor. The southern branch of the Democrat party, through tradition and political policy, is aligned with the National Association of Manufacturers and every other anti-labor group in existence.
The situation now has changed. In the coming election labor can search the list of candidates in vain. There is no labor candidate. In Britain and other European nations, the voter has a choice. He can vote for or against labor. In the United States he can vote against labor. Regardless of where labor throws its support, it will be cutting its own throat.
Then there is Thomas Dewey. He is the candidate of the traditionally anti-labor Republican party. He is supported by the perpetrators of the Teft-Hartley law. He not only is supporting this measure of servitude, but he is even bragging about the congress which passed it.
Surely labor can not vote for Harry Truman and his part of the Democrat party. He is the greatest strike-breaking president in the history of the nation. If congress had given him what he wanted during the rail strike of 1946, labor would be at the whims of the White House. Truman is the man who wanted the Taft-Hartley law but didn't want the responsibility that goes along with it.
That leaves Henry Wallace. His campaign is based on appeasement of Russia, collaboration with domestic Communists, and state control of the means of production. When translated, this means slave labor, regulation of wages and working conditions by the state, and the end of individual freedom.
The present situation will continue to exist as long as political control of the country alternates between the present Democrat and Republican parties. The three-way split of the Democrats and their approaching fall from power is beginning to make a Labor party politically possible for the 1952 elections. If labor wants a voice in the conduct of national affairs, it will have to form a Labor party. —J.L.R.

CLIFF and PAUL
News reports from London claim that a cute little American blonde is throwing the people of England into quite a dither. The young lady, 20-year-old Sharman Douglas, is the daughter of the American ambassador. She has pulled the unheard of trick of tampering with royal perrogative. What is more amazing, she seems to be getting away with it.
The London Crisis
It seems as though Princess Margaret Rose has decided a couple of young bachelor noblemen are her private property. After passing the word around for others to keep their hands off, Margaret felt she could take her time in selecting the one she wanted for a husband. So she dashed off to Scotland to spend the summer in one of her castles.
At this point, Miss Douglas entered the scene and the plot really began to thicken, and fast. Sharman was not satisfied after snatching away one of Margaret's boy friends. She proceeded to grab the other one, also.
Someone sent the word to Margaret in Scotland and she is making a rather hurried return to London and the field of battle. The coming conflict promises to be a nice diversion from the more ominous international problems of the day. So far there hasn't been any talk about submitting the question to the United Nations, but Russia probably would veto it anyway.
Being an American, Miss Douglas evidently does not realize the gravity of her actions. She has told the King's daughter to take a nice running jump at the moon. A man is a man, according to Sharman, and it is every girl for herself when it comes to getting one in front of a preacher.

A recent liquor survey shows the cities of Kansas are predominately wet while the rural areas are bone dry. This amazing revelation should settle for all time the perennial question of why the youth of America are leaving the farms.
