AS MENACE TO PEACE

Supported by an American and Canadian daily press which, with few ex-
ceptions, slanted its headlines and colored its reports to brand Russia as the
Obstacle to United Nations action, the United States this week pursued its
Campaign to convert the UN into the tool of its own world-ranging political
Ambitions. When George Marshall, U.S. secretary of state, rose to address

the UN general assembly on Wednesday last week the foundation for his pro-

Posals had alre been well laid. In millions of homes
throughout the us. and Canada the daily press had created

meat packing industry—Swift, Burns and Canada

Packers—in their fight against the union indicate

Substance was given to these reports on Tuesday when
One of the few independents, Fletchers, turned down the
UPWA demand for a base rate of 92 cents an hour. William
Symington, UPWA international representative, «said how-
ever, that no action would be taken until discussions have
been held with another independent, Gainers, next week.
Symington also disclosed that his union was moving in on
Pacific Meat, a third independent, with an organizational
campaign and that a meeting of employees had already been
held.
