has been gald about the 5,000,000 prisoners still in Russian hands, whose Jate in unknown.
The Communist officials and party organisations are making a tremen- dous fuss about the discharge of these 120,000, and the Berlin radio, under Russian control, continues interview- Ing them; and, of course, they

The Future Of Labour
In The United States
Labour to-day is playing a vital role in the economic and political progress of America. In the following article, HARRY W. FRANTZ, United Press staff writor, discusses the position of organised labour in the United States in relation to the government attempts
to achieve wage-price stability.

The men are former German war prisoners who were grounded in de- mocratic principles. Since returning to their homeland, they have been putting their newly-acquired doc trinca into practice and are a strong
