THINKS GREEN AND

By CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, Sept. 9. = President
William Green of the A. F. of L. and
John l.. Lewis of CIO are calling
each other harder names than it
seems to me the facts justify.
Green's and Lewis respective labor
PHILOSOPHERS differ, but from that it
by no means necessarily follows that
Lewis is communistic, as Green i'm
plies, or that Green is a traitor, as
Lewis out and out charges.
| am. convinced, from the whole
tenor of Lewis argument and from
what he has told me personally, that
the CIO head belives his program to
be an antidote alike to communism
and fascism.
1 am convinced equally that Green
is 1CO per cent loyal to what he be-
lieves to be the best interests of trade
unionism.
Broader Scale For Lewis.
Lewis is, endeavoring to provide all
labor with a voice.
His definition Of labor is pretty
broad, too.
He includes all kinds of craftsmen

Great Britain and France joined

Rome and Berlin, acting in close
collaboration, both refused to attend
a conference in Switzerland tomorrow
to dealwith the torpedoing of merch-

London and Paris replied in chorus
with, first, new determination to use
their warships to stop the attacks;
Second, insistence that the parley
achieve results whether or not Italy
and Germany attend.
With the absence of the Fascist
powers certain, Britain was expected
to scrap her restricted zone plan,"
for which u1animous cooperation is
essential, and submit a proposal for
Mediterranean patrols and conveys for
merchantmen.
Italy refused the parley invitation
because of Soviet Russias accusations
that her submarines had sunk two
Russian freighters.
An unverified report one of many
rumors in the charged diplomatic at
mosphere, said Rome and Moscow
were near a breach in relations, or
mutual trade boycott.
Rome still Dad not replied to Mos
cows second diplomatic protest charg-
ing Italian responsibility for the sea
attacks and demanding redress.
Italy's first retort was a flat denial
Germany, as Italy's friend, rejected
the conference bid. Shy refused to sit

Non-Combatants Greatest
Sufferers in Any War

Experienced observers reported that
about 5000 lives were lost in one days
bombing of a Canton suburb by Japa-
nese airplanes-and that every casualty
was non-combatant The Japanese
planes, in fact, confined their bombing
to non-military structures.
In that list of dead are women, chill
dren and old men. There are Chinese
who did not know why their fellow coun-
trymen were fighting. There were many,
probably, who hated war and bloodshed.
Yet they, the non-combatants, paid with
their lives because the leaders of a for
eign country had grasped at a flimsy
excuse to send death dealing machines
against their homes.
1t is always the non-combatant who
suffers most in war. The men who fight
may endure great physical pain, they may
be injured for life, or they may give
up their lives-but the suffering they
undergo is nothing to the tragedy that
visits those who stay home.
Now that the methods of warfare have
been improved" the non-combatants
can be assured that, to the tragedy and
misery they undergo at any time, will
be added the knowledge that they are
no safer, and perhaps not as safe from
physical HARM than the men in the front
line trenches.

Another Hobo
Blockade Urqed

Police Chief James +. Davis of Los
Angeles will find a lot of support for
his new proposal that southern Califor-
MIA once again establish a border block
ade against the immigration here from
other states of penniless, undesirable
transients who follow the weather and
CLEAN their living from the protesting
communities where their migrations take
them. Whatever opposition the last So
called hobo blockade might have aroused
was more than offset by the good it did.
Every community in the southland
benefited from the last blockade, and
it can reasonably be said that every COM
munity would benefit equally from an
other such campaign. The benefits can
be counted in hard cash saved in relief
matters, lessened crime and greater safe
ty for the average person in his home
and on the street.
Another benefit which cannot be too
greatly stressed is the reduction of dan
ger to residents of California from car
riers of venereal diseases. Medical tests
have showed time and again that almost
two-thirds of the itinerants who invade
California via box cars and highways are
suffering from some virulent form of
venereal disease. Just now, with the
state embarked on a sweeping campaign
to reduce this menace within its borders,
its consideration in connection with the
proposed hobo blockade is no small item.
A repetition of the hobo blockade
might arouse some opposition, but it would
most certainly result in a reduced bill
to the taxpayers and in greater physical
and mental security. Chief Davis de-
serves the support of southern Califor-
MIA in his plan.

Other Editors Say
1T CAN BE DONE.
The San Francisco News

We hope wealth authorities, doctors and civic
leaders throughout California will catch the
enthusiasm of DR.. Russell ", Lee of Stanford
University as he talks of the possibilities ahead
for us in the war on venereal disease.
Governor Merriam and our IegilatorS have
put the spot" says the president of the
American Society for the Control of Venereal
Disease. They have given us everything asked
advanced social welfare legislation and adequate
funds Now it is up TO really to do the JOB.
That it can be done is best illustrated by
the success of the same type of legislation in
Sweden There they have caused drop in the
incidence of venereal disease from 5000 to 300
a year. We now have 25000 cases a year in
California compared to SWeden's 300"
1t can be done! That is the great lesson of
SWeden's achievement. In California Cover
nor Merriam's signing of the Yenereal disease
control bill means that 100000 is available for
the fight-half contributed by the State and
half by the Federal government.
DR.. Lees society is doing what it can to put
public health authorities on their toes It-and
they-should have the aid of every physician
and public-spirited citizen.
