WE MUST NOT FAIL OUR HUMANITY

The report a rew days ago by the Sullivan County Red Cross Chapter Chairman indicates that failure on the part of Sullivan county citizens to achieve the financial goal set for : the recent drive is entirely possible. The report, such as it is,

must do more than merely make us feel ashamed of our laggard attitude toward a cause so worthy it must spur those charged with the responsibilities of solicitation jn various

areas to immediate and effective action, bulhvan county nev

er fails in worthwhile movements of this kind and Sullivan

countians as individuals will not want to see a blot on here tofore glowing record of accomplishment.

. It is well to remind yourself that the Sullivan County

Chapter is expending on an average ot per month on financial assistance for servicemen and veterans in addition

to the many other expenses that the Chapter bears in their

humanitarian work that goes on hour by hour, day by day

week by week, month by month and year by year, in peace

as well as in periods of war. Fifty-seven per cent of the mon

ey you contribute to your Red Cross stays here to carry on

the great work of the local chapter the remainder goes to

National Red Cross for work in servicemen s and veterans

. hospitals, as well as for the countless other acts of assist'

nce, great and small, that only Red Cross can render to hu

inanity.

Sullivan county is obligated, as never before, to do its

share toward the rehabilitation of the veterans who did their

PARTIAL VOTING RECORD OF GERALD LANDIS Prepared by ' INDEPENDENT VOTERS COMMITTEE June, 1943-January, 1946 The aim of this analysis of Congressman Landis' voting record is to inclure all measures of major importance which have come before Congress during the period indicated. Some of the votes noted here are on amendments introduced to bills; some are final votes. - GENERAL WELFARE: 1. Congressman Landis has voted against price control measures

.; each time these have appeared in Congress. t

a. He voted twice to reduce funds for price coniroi on uie Allowing dates (6-18-43 and" 6-18-43). b. He voted three times to hamstring price, control adminisWatl0n'Jenkins Amendment (6-23-45). This would have separated

ure supported by all organized labor came to the floor. It gave white collar federal workers the 15 wage increase already allowed workers in private industry under the little steel formula (6-13-45). 3. Hobbs Anti-Labor Bill: (12-11-45) Landis voted for this bill which was directed against the Teamsters Union (AFL). In support of this bill, Representative Cox called the Teamsters "highway robbers" and "labor goons." The bill was designed to bring labor unions under the anti-racketeering laws. 4. Although not a labor measure alone, it should be noted that Landis voted for the amendment to implement the Excess Profits Tafc refunds to corporations. 5. The Case Anti-Labor Bill: This bill, the strongest blow against organized labor ever passed bythe U. S. House of Representatives, was not only supported by Landis on the floor of the House, but he actively worked for it in the House Labor Committee of which he is a member. Landis introduced amendments even more anti-labor than the original bill. Several of these measures have become part of the bill as it now stands. I Th bill, as finally passed (1) bans union boycotts; (2) makes

foremen's unions illegal Landis introduced this amendment to the

(1-3-45). 4. Soldiers Vote Bill. Landis voted on three occasions for the "States Rights" soldiers vote bill which kept hundreds of thousands

of GI's from casting ballots in the last presidential election. (2-1-44, J

2-3-44, and 2-3-44). 5. Excess Profits Tax Refunds. Although we have been unable as yet to find exact information as to how Landis voted on the orig-

I inal Excess Profits Tax Refunds measure, he did vote for a second ' measure introduced (7-6-45) increasing the exemptions for payment I of th fax. spttins hack the maturity date for refund bonds, and

Under this bill the government has financed the big corporations in their strike-breaking activities and hence held up reconversion.

tial information from itself. Of course this bill has not yet passed the Senate, but his activity in it has shown how Landis stands with re-

fspect to organized labor.

In summary: Landis has voted against price control (five times); against soil conservation funds; against incentive payments to farmers; against crop insurance; against Reciprocal Trade (twice); against taking the agricultural census; against the Federal Ballot for Soldiers (twice). Landis has voted for the Un-American Activities Committee; for cutting funds of UNRRA; for "free press" amendment to UNRRA; for the Hobbs anti-labor bill; for the Case anti-labor bill; for excess profits tax refund speed-up; for the final passage of UNRRA; for Bretton Woods; for Rural Electrification funds. Landis has failed to vote at all on: Smith-Connally Anti-Strike Bill (twice); Federal pay raise for white collar workers; little business program for R.F.C.; Anti-Poll Tax bill.

" FARM ISSUES: v 1. Landis voted against money for soil conservation (6-22-43). These funds were to be used to enable farmers to make a living and still be able to grow from time to time crops designed to build up the soil.

2. He voted against incentive payments to farmers for certain hard-to-raise or essential crops (6-22-43). During the war the government wanted to stimulate the production of certain crops. In spite of Landis' vote they were able to grant extra prices in these cases by incentive payments to farmers. 3. Crop insurance. Landis voted against federal crop insurance. (6-23-45). ' 4.

Wallace as Secretary of Commerce. Wallace's program for the R.F.C,

favored aid to small business. Landis failed to vote at all either time this measure came up (2-15-45 and 2-16-45). As matters now stand Big Business holds the government's purse strings through the R.F.C. ' INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: Landis has long been known as an outstanding isolationist. Prior to the date when this summary of his record begins, he had: Voted against the fortification of Guam (2-23-39); voted against the repeal of the arms embargo (11-2-39); voted against lend-lease (2-6-41); voted against the first appropriation for lend-lease (3-19-41); voted against the extension of the draft just four months before Pearl Harbor (8-12-41). Since the end of the war, Landis has voted for both UNRRA and the Bretton Woods agreements, but these votes do not mean much of a change in his thinking. UNRRA The United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration is designed to provide the necessities for remaining alive to the victims of Fascism in Europe and Asia. Landis voted (1-25-44) for the final passage of the bill, but before judging that Landis has changed his isolationist position, we must note that on the same day he voted for an amendment to cut the funds approximately in half, and for another amendment which would have weakened UNRRA by placing the authority for its administration in the hands of the State Department rather than the President. On Nov. 1, 1945 (one year later) Landis voted in favor of an amendment to UNRRA which would have made the use of American funds to feed the starving children of Europe depend on whether or not governments would allow American newspaper correspondents to enter. Our official government representatives were ' of course, informed already. Bretton Woods: Landis voted in favor of the Bretton Woods agreement. This was not an isolationist vote, but out of the 363 Representatives voting, only 18 opposed it. The Bretton Woods Monetary agreements provide for the U. S. participation in an International Bank for reconstruction and development of an International Monetary Fund. The agreements provide the machinery for international cooperation in economic matters a.id are' aimed at eliminating the type of economic warfare that preceded the outbreak of World War H. The overwhelming majority for passage of the measure reflects to a considerabl extent the tremendous public support expressed for it. Reciprocal Trade Program: A strong pillar of our peacetime international program is the reciprocal trade agreements program. Through these agreements the President is authorized to lower tariff rates to stimulate the international flow of goods. This program likewise takes the tariff issue out of the hands of special interests and enables the tariff to be' adjusted for the welfare of the nation as a whole. Landis has voted against reciprocal trade agreements twice in 1945: Once to send the Reciprocal Trade Program back to committee (5-26-45), and against the final passage of the bill (5-26-45). LABOR ISSUES: While Landis' record on International Relations has changed slightly away from his former isolationism, his labor record both in Congressional voting and in committee work seems to have gone in the direction of active opposition to organized labor. 1. Smith-Connally anti-strike bill: Landis failed to vote at all on this measure either on its passage (6-4-43) or when it was passed over the President's veto (6-25-43). 2. Federal Pay Raise: Landis also failed to vote when this meas-
