520 _aAt its last annual convention, the American Federation of Teachers authorized its Executive Council to create a Commission on Education and the Postwar World. This action grew out of a realization that our country is engaged both in struggle for survival and in an effort to organize a world in harmony with the Four Freedoms. The Federation believed that teachers affiliated with organized labour have a special responsibility in the achievement of these purposes. It saw very clearly that Fascism and the war system are profoundly hostile to both a free labor movement and democratic education. The Executive Council appointed to the Chairman ship of the Commission Professor John L. Childs of Teachers College, Columbia University, who is also member of the American Federation of Labor Committee on Postwar Planning. The other members of the Commission are Selma M. Borchardt, National. Legislative Representative; George S. Counts, past President; John M. Fewkes, President; and Irvin R. Kuenzli, Secretary-Treasurer of the Federation.
