LIU r oiiucai Activities to Be Expanded Success of the Political Action Committee Inspires Further Ex tension of Work ARMISTICE DAY For the third time we are celebrating1 Armistice Day in the midst of a war which has so altered the occasion's spirit and significance that there is some reason to doubt that November 11 will have a permanent place among our national holidays. For twenty years we observed November 11 as the anni versary of that historic occasion when the "war to end war" was itself brought to an end. But for the past five years such an observance would have been a mockery of the facts. Rather, it has become a rebuke to the world of statesmen who, confront ed repeatedly by threats to the brave slogan of "war to end war," did not raise their hands to stay those threats. p.nt- thP altered circumstances have not lessened the honor paid to the men who died believing that slogan. Since the be ginning of history men have honored soldiers who died in o t.hpv thoueht iust. But for the soldiers of 1917-18, the cause had a nobility and grandeur that surpassed oil ofVprs Today some may look back to the slogans of "war to end war" and a world "safe for democracy" with the same cynicism -4. .f.tPn must have felt about them at the LllctL xiiciii v owwi.vw'" 1 , . i i t.,4- oxr nDrViani most, of the American doughboys oe time. 1UI lliaujt i-."-f ' - , i lieved them. If they had to die in battle it was in the be f that no son or grandson of theirs, or any man auj uc, Zt to do it ain. And the same belief sustained and solaced the families of these doughboys. : Now another generation of American soldiers is fighting r,H Hvintr. Mavbe the thoughts of this generation are less idealistic. But the peace for which these soldiers fight may well have a better hope of permanence for that very reason. They have fought over ground' where another generation fought. And the silent rebuke of those who "shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields" is not for them, but for the world which made it necessary for them to be there. But the world at last seems to have realized how unworthy some guardians of the peace were of the sacrifice of even one Allied soldier's life. And when peace comes this time it seems certain that the American people, at least, will demand a great er voice in outlining the task of keeping that peace permanent, and will assume a more careful watch of those to whom the task is entrusted. Thus, at last, we may keep faith with the men who died in the first World War and those who must die in the second to defeat the war makers and bring an end to war. When we can say that a sound, workable, whole-hearted organization for world peace is established and successful we can also say that we have honored these men as fully as we can. That day, perhaps, will not be marked on a calendar. But until it comes the obligation to speed it should be this country's concern on November 11 and every other day of the year. NEW YORK, Nov. 11. WPJ CIO Political Action committee spokesmen said today that a program for permanent establishment of the PAC and expansion of its activities to state and municipal eletiona will be presented to the CIO convention which opens Nov. 20 in Chicago. Clark Foreman, secretary of the National Citizens PAC, said the future of this CIO-PAC offspring would be decided by an executive board meeting in. the next 30 days and that meanwhile its offices would be consilidated with those of the parent CIO-PAC here. Sidney Hill man is chairman of both groups. CIO-PAC said it had "only scratched the surface" of political action in working for the re-election of President Roosevelt, Sen. Robert F. Wagner, D., N. Y., and other can didates In Tuesday's balloting. A spokesman envisioned the PAC's future role as "similar to that of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States or the National As sociation of Manufacturers an edu cational force." He said it would serve "a united labor front in and out of the CIO. It would be aligned with no party, he said, but would follow an inde pendent course of supporting for office any candidates favorable to its program. He asserted that neither the democratic nor the republican party was powerful enough to win ny election without the independent vote. The PAC spokesnian said that one of the reasons for expansion into state elections would be to prevent the passage of measures such as the constitutional amendments adopted in Florida and Arkansas prohibitin the closed shop. He saw political action necessary at the municipal level to assure local government co operation with federal programs "and to prevent the loss of demo cracy at the point where it could most likely be lost first."
