The free labor movement of the world has played. and will continue to play. a most important role in the effort to stop the onward rush of Communist aggression. In that movement. American labor has made a major contribution. It would be very easy. and even understandable. for American labor troubled as it is with its own problems of unemployment and automation. to stay out of international affairs. It could. as it once did. fight to keep all immigrants from our shores and for protectionist tariffs on all imports. It could oppose mutual security and technical assistance and insist that Americas own underdeveloped and depressed areas receive these billions of dollars of assistance. But American labor. for the most part. understands the threat of the Soviets.
