‘Let’s win the war in ’44,’ new slogan for AFL
Washington (UP) – (Jan. 1)
The American Federation of Labor said tonight it has chosen “Let’s win the war in ‘44” as labor’s slogan, its objective and its highest resolve for the coming year.
In a New Year’s Day message, the AFL said U.S. workers are ready to work and sacrifice as never before to help the fighting forces in the great tasks that lie ahead.
The message warned, however, that victory will not end labor’s responsibilities to the cause of freedom.
It said:
We will not consider this war win until we have capped our military victories with equal triumphs for our chief post-war objectives.
These are:
- The establishment of lasting peace under world democracy.
- The provision of jobs for all in peacetime America.
