States Getting in Tough Spot in Other
 Places; Canada Latest
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April 20.-It is getting to the point where if this country does not mend it's ways other countries will not let theii children play with ours.
 The latest sample of public in- dignation with what is going on in our back yard came from Toronto where Premier Hepburn of Ontario told his people to have nothing to do with that tough from across the border, John L. Lewis.
 Oshawa, seat of General Motors in Canada, is separated from De- troit by a sort of peninsula that juts down into the lake region and Hepburn let it be known he thought that wasn't too much of barrier to be set up against that "an- archistic" sit1down element in De- troit
 He as much as said that what the sit-downers need in Detroit was a sound spanking and if any of the lads in the province started that sort of monkey business they prob- ably would get it.
 T repeat" he said, that the en- tire resources of this province will be utilized, if the occasion warrants to prevent anything in this country resembling that which is taking place at the present time across the line, due to failure on the part of constituted authority to take adequate action"
