“We’re pressed for space this week,” the editor said, “so try to make it short and to the point,”

It?s THAT time of year again — the season of friendship, Christ- mas cards and Christmas bells; greetings to friends old and new; the time for turkey, dressing, and plum pudding; it’s also the time when many of us take a long hard look at the year just past, at its victories and defeats, and we look to the new year with the hope of better things to come,

Even as we experience the joy of family get-togethers and gay festivities, we cannot forget our

responsibilities to those like us around the world — the people of Vietnam, napalm-burned, tor- tured, homes and villages des- troyed; the people of Rhodesia, groaning under the oppressive, illegal government of Ian Smith, and likewise the people of South Africa facing even more reac- tionary legislation under the fas- cist Verwoerd government,

And closer to home, the mighty freedom movement in the U.S,A,, as they brace themselves for greater struggles in the coming year; and even closer than that, the plight of our own Indians and Eskimos, :

Not for any of these people the carefree, happy joys of the holiday season, And we must renew our determination to work harder to ensure peace in the world, for without peace there will be nothing, In the words of writer Peter Eden, “Peace will never break out, it is an art each one of us has to cultivate,”

On that note, we will close our column for 1965, with warm gree- tings to all our readers and friends, Let’s all strive harder for a truly peaceful world in 1966,

Our ‘prosperity’ is based mainly on war, says Hoffa

DETROIT — “People are living in a fool’s paradise if they think they’ve got real prosperity — it is based on three wars: World War I, World War II, and now the one we are in,” said James R, Hoffa, International President of the Teamsters before 2,000 member of his Local 299,

“We can’t continue killing men as we are, When it ends there will be an economic crisis which

will make 1929 look like nothing and all the built-in- safety devices won’t save us,” Hoffa declared,

Hoffa called for peacetime prosperity, the need for an early retirement program for all work- ers of*55 years of age and said that with rising automation inthe next decade the work week would have to be shortened to 34-32 hours a week at double the pay- cheque,

He said that every strike now has to be won by national action, because employers shut down a shop in one place and shift the work to one of their plants in another town, thus starving out the strikers,

He said the Teamsters look up- on all strikes from a national viewpoint. He cited examples of a Pittsburgh gasoline strike, where the owners shut down and Hoffa, to prevent the defeat of the strike, called in the national chain owners and told them they’d shut it all down if they didn’t settle, The strike was settled in a few hours,

Hoffa said, “in industrial Am- erica, this is a true tactic that must be used if we are to win, otherwise you have small

the same owner operates his business in other areas and makes up his losses there for what he doesn’t make in the struck plant or operation,”

Hoffa told newsmen that the American economy is 50 percent or more based on a war econ- omy.

Hoffa’s remarks about U,S. ‘prosperity’ being based ona war economy closely parallel sim- ilar statements made recently by Harry Bridges, Longshoremen’s leader, When increased war shipments to Vietnam opened up 4 few hundred jobs on the water- front, Bridges described this as “blood money.”

tentions of Hoffa and Bridges, the AFL—CIO convention in San Francisco last week voted to back President Johnson’s posi- tion in Vietnam, But a rider was added: that efforts should be maintained to open up nego- tiations.

After days of wrangling, this compromise was brought down as an attempt to reconcile the ultra-right position on Vietnam taken by AFL—CIO president George Meany and a more moder- ate view held by other labor leaders like Walter Reuther and Emil Mazey of the UAW,
