Revolt in Argentina
Pro-Axis plotters in Buenos Aires engi-
neered a palace coup, forced the resignation
of three cabinetmen because of their alleged
pro-allied leanings, brought the government
of President Ramirez to the brink of disso-
ution, made the allied-world wonder if Ar-
gentina’s recent ostensible turning away
from the axis wasn’t a deliberate fraud. A.
Perhaps the regeneration of Argentina
won't be complete until there is a revolution
which will sweep from office the last ves-
tiges of the Hitler-loving elements in the
higher circles of the government.
That revolution is long overdue. The latest
demonstration of fascism’s strength within
the government down there may force the
of “unloaded" shotguns or taking medicine
in the dark.
One of the hardest jobs our war leaders
have is trying to convince the American peo-
ple that the war isn't over just because we
have won a few scattered victories here and
there. Jesse Jones says we're talking too
much about postwar plans when we haven’t
made sure of the victory1. Lt. Gen. Wm. S.
Knudsen, the great Dane, complained in Dal-
las this week that too many people, includ-
ing workers in war production plants, are
hipped on the idea that the war is about over,
and they can afford to let down. Hardly a
day passes that some national leaders doesn’t
feel it necessary to remind the country that
there is still plenty of fighting, bloodshed and
sacrifice ahead. General MacArthur added
his warning only yesterday.
We are by nature an optimistic, as well as
a careless, people. We deliberately choose the
bright side, if there is one, and avoid looking
on the dark side. Pollyanna is our national
heroine, and Jeremiah is shouted down as an
alarmist and chronic pessimist.
Somehow we just naturally hate to face up
to the truth, if the truth happens to be un-
pleasant, which it sometimes is.
The truth is that everywhere in the world,
at this moment, we are fighting on the outer
rims of our enemies’ strongholds. The only
way un have invaded Europe is from the air,
and while our incessant bombing undoubted- '
ly has hampered the enemy’s war production
to some extent, the cold fact remains that
Europe will not be reconquered until the
ground forces move in with bayonet and
hand grenade and howitzers to occupy the
land.

Anzio was just a small sample of what to

CHILDS SUCCEEDS RAY CLAPPER
ON THE HOME FRONT
By JAMES MARLOW and GEORGE ZIELKE
WASHINGTON, Feb 17.—(P)- lieve that such a one -sided pres- D
The American Federation of La-
bor has charged that the real rea-
son for the government s labor draft
has never been given.
"Why then," said the AFL’s
Monthly Survey, "has this nation-
al service act been urged?
"If It was to impress the boys
at the front, we can only say that
the way to impress them is to tell
the truth about American labor's
patriotic effort, sacrifice and
achievement.”
We can ask this question: How
much has labor itself done to tell
the story of the workers? But we’ll
work our way around to that la-
ter.
Victory Garden Week
Governor Coke Stevenson has appealed to
local defense coordinators throughout the
state to get behind a campaign designed to
bring 1,000,000 victory gardens into produc-
tion this year.
The chief executive set aside February 27-
March 4 as Victory Garden Week. He ob-
served that there will likely be 20 percent
less canned goods available to housewives
during the year.
Texas had 880.000 victory gardens last
year, producing an average of 800 pounds of
food in spite of unfavorable weather condi-
tions in many sections.
That is a respectable showing, but it
doesn’t represent the state's best efforts in
this line.
Production of vegetables on home plots is
an important war contribution in addition to
insuring a steady supply for the home table.
The more that is produced in home gardens,
the less burden there will be on canneries
and on transportation systems. The railroads
are carrying more stuff than anybody had a
right to expect would be possible. Truck lines
face a serious breakdown because of rubber
shortage Every pound of vegetables pro-
duced for home consumption on home garden
plots is just that much of a load lifted from
our transportation systems. If the state's goal
of 1,000,000 home gardens is realized, and if
the average production is maintained at 800
pounds per garden, it means 800,000,000
pounds of freight that the transportation sys-
tems will not be burdened with.
Self-interest dictates a home garden It is
the only way a family can be sure of an ade-
quate supply of fresh vegetables. In spite
of all the jokes cracked about amateur gar-
dening. most families find it pays off. Indi-
cations are that there will be plenty of pres-
sure cookers available this year, so every
family with a few feet of unused ground
should put in a garden. - _

POSTWAR ARMY NAVY TO BE LARGE
By MARQUIS CHILDS
The food of talk on post-war
planning has thus far ignored one
big, outstanding fact If our top
military planners have any influ-
ence. America will continue after
the war to maintain an Army and
the state of the union a month ago
• was one lenience which stood out

the Pennsylvania Senator.
Since 1934 he has been Washing-
ton correspondent for The St. Louis
Post-Dispatch; written "TOWARD
A DYNAMIC AMERICA" (1941), in
collaboration with William T.
Stone; "THIS IS YOUR WAR"
(1942); "I WRITE FROM WASH-
INGTON" (1942); numerous articles
for such magazines as The Satur-
day Evening Post, The New Re-
public, The Yale Review, Life and
The Readers Digest and lectured
on Washington and Sweden.
In 1943 Childs flew to England
and Sweden and wrote from both
countries Later the same year he
went to Brazil and Bolivia and his
articles from there also had impor-
tant political repercussions, being
quoted in debate on the Senate
The president suggested a labor
sons the belief such a law was ne-
sons the belief such a law necessary
and would hasten victory.
Since then a number of govern-
ment officials, including War Sec-
retary Stimson, have testified in fa-
vor of labor draft before a senate
committee.
These officials, Including Stim-
son, made a number of statements
but gave very little information
showing exactly why the draft was
necessary. ______________________
7 The emphasis has been on spir-
itual grounds: The good moral ef-
fect on the fighting troops knowing
that labor was subject to a work
draft just as they were to a mili-
ary draft.
Perhaps because almost all the
emphasis was on spirituality the
AFL felt compelled to say the "real
reason" never has been given
cessary and would hasten victory,
feel a "burning resentment" because
of labor troubles and strikes on the
home front, he creates this ques-
tion:
How can he speak so confidently
of what the troops feel??. Has the
army made a poll or survey to find
this out? If so, it never has been
made public.
But the AFL says the only way
to impress the troops is "to tell
them the truth about American la-
bor's patriotic effort, sacrifice and
achievement.”
So far as wa know no one—in-
eluding labor—has accused the
army of sending out through its
information service a one-sided;
picture of the home front, slighting
labor.
We have plenty of reason to be-
entation never has happened, that
the army has provided the troops
with information about labor just
as it has about management and
production and strikes, always lim-
ited of course by the information 0
available.
Now comes this question which
we think vitally important for la-
bor not only now but in its future
relations with the rest of the popu-
lation:
What has labor done to tell '
the story of labor, of the work-
ers in the mills and shipyards
and mines and plane plants?
The big central offices of labor
organizations send out magazines
and pamphlets on production fig-r
ures, and statements of labor’s
working hours, or wage needs, or
labors position on various prob-
lems.
These are top policy statements.
The men working in a foundry’s .
smoke and flames can not tell their
own story of the daily effort under
conditions which would appal mil-
lions of white collar Americans.
This is the tremendous, dramatic
story of muscular America, sweat-
ing and grinding years off its life. 0
We went into the war plants-of
the middle west arid we tried in a
number of stories to tell some of
this magnificent work, the story of
the men and women at the ma-
chines, the actual laboring force. O
To us it is one of the greatest
stories in the world, the kind that
would make anyone happy to be an
American. But what we did we
did on our own initiative,
Other people have done the same. -
They visited the plants and, instead,
of phony adjectives about glisten-
ing assembly lines and such over-
used phrases as "production mir-
acles,” they wrote about the work-
ers.
But all those stories put together
were and are too few. The story of
workers at work is one of the most
poorly told stories of the war.
