The Automobile Strike.

The agreement of the General Motors
CORPORATION and the United Automobile
Workers of America to 60 diligently about
the business of settling the strike which
has halted ll400O workers in their jobs
is matter of cOngratulation. There
remains, OF course, much yet to be done.
The agreement, however, is rift in the
cloud which was settling over one OF
the great industries of the country.
One demand of the General Motors
CORPORATION as an essential to the OPEN
Ing of negotiations with its employees was
the termination OF the "sit-down' strikes
in its various plants. The union has
agreed that the strikers shall evacuate
the plants by Monday. The corpora
ton, on the other hand. has agreed
not to remove dies and other machinery
from its plants nor to reopen the plants
until the conferences have been held.
Seemingly better spirit prevails and
both sides have given assurance that
everything possible will be done to bring
about a settlement, which 1t is hoped
will be permanent
The "Sit-down" strike, in which EN-
ployes refuse TO leave their places OF
employment and virtually take posses
sion of them is not legitimate instru-
ment OF industrial controversy. 1t is
in fact a seizure Of other peoples prop
erty in defiance of the law. Should
sanctioned by government, a precedent
would be tablished that might go far
to wreck this country.
Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan. the
State in which the heart of the auto
mobile strike is located. has shown him.
self effective in a situation filled with
danger. He has taken prompt steps to
prevent violence and at the same time
he has been able to bring the employers
and the workers to an understanding
Of the seriousness to the people as a
whole of a continued deadlock The way
has been paved for a peaceable settle
ment of the difficulties which have
arisen.
Since the controversy began there
has been modification of the position
first taken by the union, which is a
protege of John l.. Lewis C. I. o., and
also of that assumed by the corporation
The union at first demanded that it be
the sole agency OF the workers in COL
lective bargaining, a demand which
smacked of the closed shop. The union
has made it clear that q closed shop Is
not one of its demands, and 1t Is asking
that 1t be an agency Of collective bar
gaining. The corporation, on the other
hand, has retreated somewhat from it's
insistence that only would it confer with
its employees through individual plant
management. 1t is now prepared to
deal through its national management
with matters of general corporate policy
The automobile industry set the pace
in this country toward recovery from
the depression. II 1t can also set the
pace in the matter of better under
standing between industrial employers
and their workers, at q time when there
Is much labor unrest, it will have sc-
compliShed much for the country,

of power would be heavily swung against
the Franco Russian allies whose COM
bination is both odious and menacing to
the Nazis. The British have consistently
resisted overtures to draw them into the
orbit of conflicting Fascist and Com
muniSt ideologies on the Continent.
Britain is determined not only to steer
clear of that controversy, but to continue
basing her policy In Spain on close
collaboration with France.
Exactly what lies behind these moves
and Vaccinations on the chaotic Euro
pean chessboard or will eventuate from
them, it would be idle, at this mercurisl
stage, to speculate. So much seems
fairly plsin-that Hitler and Mussolini
believe it timely and profitable TO fish
in troubled waters and have spread their
nets for as rich a haul as they can bag.
Their activities strongly suggest that
certain elements in Europe are devoted
to peace only If they can have 1t on
their own terms. including such things
for instance as an anti-CommuniSC
alliance or restoration of colonies. 1t
remains to be seen whether the guns
can be kept permanently spiked on such
conditions. As long as statesmen con.
fine themselves to talk and wishful
thoughts, hope will persist that they will
continue to prefer conversation to con-
f1ict,

BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Good Morning, Judge:'
We turn into the path of reminiScence
Or prediction.
Sometimes we think we deal with facts
They turn out to be fiction.
But everything that's done by persons or
a nation
Is very likely to come forward for
adjudication.
Whatever way
Your course may bulge,
You'll have TO say,
Good morning, Judge!"
The law must be consulted rs we seek
for q solution

to the u. 8. Constitution.
And though we may show traces Of re-
sentiment or derision,

Return Of the sunshine, after several
days absence, not only brings back visi-
BILE cheer to the world, but also puts
the mind Of the home owner on the
possibility OF planting time.
He knows, of, course, that many weeks
must elapse before that fine period be-
gins again, but he is ever an optimist.
and is only too glad OF the opportunity
10 turn his mind plantward.
The sun does that for him.
1t Is impossible to look out the window,
on the FIRST sunny morning after several
DAYS Of rain and bleakneSs, without feel
ing the comparative nearness Of the
FIRST real Spring days.
Sunshine does it.
Even when he looks at the photo
graphs which enterprising publicity
agents send nOrthward from the South
he gets the reflected sunnyneSs OF those
climes.
Perhaps he knows a friend or two
just back from Florida, with wonderful
tales OF bathing, fishing and the like.
Personal proof. in the form Of = nice
coat Of tan, adds to the conviction that
sunshine. al any time and any place, is
something both desirable and healthful.

The mind runs back over Guy de Mau-
PEASANTS book devoted TO the beauties
Of sunshine: il recalls the unknown per-
son who declared that life without sun
shine Is worthless. Or was that 4
prOverb? IL makes no difference. Sum
shine is sunshine, wherever you find It..
Especially At this time Of year 1t has
way OF cheering the mind and helping
put bad germs In their places.
Cheering ofsthe mind by the sun Is as
old as man and as old as the sun, per-
haps.
For who knows whist primitive cres-
ture. practically without mind, as We
know the latter found something in
spring and uplifting, in q first crude
way. when the sun shone upon it?
There was pull then and there is q
pull now, TO sunshine, which some per-
sons undoubtedly experience more than
others.
Lift" we call II nowadays.
This lift OF sunshine is mental and
spiritual, as well as physical.
We step out faster on a sunny day.
We get up earlier. Every one knows
how that is. What day for Sleeping"

Those persons who still doubt the
efficiency OF artificial sunshine, from
the so-called sunlamp, will do well to
take few baths under it.
They Will experience something OF the
Same hit which the real sun gives US.
This is the very best proof that the
best OF such lamps are really what their
makers claim them to be, for this uplift
OF spirit is precisely the same as from
the sun itself, if properly done, with a
good accompanying dose of common
sense in the treatment.

Anti-COmmunist Alliance?

Hitler and Mussolini now seem deter
mined to exploit the Spanish civil war
for the purpose of leaguing Western Eu-
rope into phalanX against communism
Circumsta reports of the Rome visit
of General Goering. Hitler's chief lieu
tenant, indicate that this Is the UNDER
lying purpose of pending negotiations
During the recent holidays the Fascist
relationships were requested by Great
Britain and France to agree to stop the
flow OF German and Italian volunteers"
to the Spanish insurgent 'front.' While
subscribing "in principle" to non-inter-
moved to give any practical effect to it.
Before they do so, Germany and Italy
would like to do some bargaining. Anglo
French participation in an anti-com-
munism pact is the apparent price Of
German italian readiness to cease sup
port of General Frances cause. There
has, therefore, been revived the plan for
. four power pact to safeguard Europe's
status quo, Matched by MuSsolini in 1888
the so-called StreSa front-but which
subsequent events, notably the rise of
Hitlerism, doomed to collapse. Using the
peril of Communist regime in Spain as
o pretext, the idea has been trotted out
again, in the obvious expectation that
existing conditions may persuade the
British and French to join the Germans
and Italians in establishing such q
set-up.
Neither London nor Paris evinces en-
thusiasm for the Fascist scheme. The
French denounce 1t as q transparent
naneuver to force them to help Germany
isolate the Soviet Union, or, If this
proves impossible. at least to win Great
Britain to the German Italian bloc. In
the latter event. the European balance

community or its warmth of felicitation.
i is highly gratifying to feel that both
men, more effective champions OF the
community now than during their first
terms, by reason of experience and
knowledge of community affairs gained
In office, will continue to serve.
Their new terms begin at most crit
ical time for the local community. 1t
is not too much to say that their ability
successfully to lead in the defense
against the attack on the District, which
takes the form of the fiscal report. will
In large measure determine not only the
future status of themselves and their
very nature of the Capital City itself.
II certain things recommended in the
report became an accomplished fact. the
already restricted authority of the Com
missioners would be further reduced;
their already limited powers would ex-
tend not much beyond the functions of
pleasant after-dinner speakers. And as
for the community, application of the
theory of the fiscal report would burden
II with taxation far beyond what it rea-
sonably should be expected to pay, but
not nearly as much as would be neces-
eary for continuation of Capital de-
velopment and maintenance as known
In the past.
The Commissioners may in theory be
credited with a double allegiance: per-
haps triple allegiance if the President
and Congress are included as we'll as the
local community. But one prefers to
believe that LOYALTY to one of these mas
ters represents, in truth, LOYALTY TO all
Of them. They would render a dis
service to the President and to Congress,
as well as to the local community, who
assumed q passive or neutral attitude
toward such threat to Capital welfare
as contained in the fiscal report Their
responsibility, to the President, to the
Congress. to the local community de-
nands that they oppose vigorously the
faulty premises of that report as well
as it's illogical conclusions and poten-
TALLY damaging recommendations.
1t is believed that both men, who
have shown every desire to move with
the sentiment and for the best interests
Of the community, will be ready to oppose
the reports recommendations with all
the strength they can muster.
