with no such handicap as that borne
by Japan's contacts with most other
powers. For four years they have been
steadily improving, but Premier Hay
ashi now intends to accelerate this
tendency and, if possible, to dispel
American apprehensions of japanese
imperialism. particularly as regards
the Philippine Islands and their ap-

The agreement concluded with Hit
lerized Germany last November means
nothing more in itself than declara-
ton of sympathy with that Fascist
country. Its worth depends entirely
upon how it is put into effect. In all
probability Japan, under Premier Hay
ashi, will make no effort to put it into
actual operation, but will let it lie a
dead letter until an opportune time
comes to scuttle it.
Whatever Japan may have thought
last November, it is fully conscious
now of the fact that its best interests,
its future prosperity, perhaps its very
continuance as a great power, lie in
cooperation with the great democratic
powers of the West, primarily the
United States and Great Britain, along
with France, Holland, Soviet Russia,
Belgium, the American republics and
others. 1t knows that, to succeed in
China, Toxic must give as well as take,
and that it must pursue policy of
friendliness rather than of aggravation
toward Moscow.
The new orientation of Japan's for
eign policy is still in process of forma-
tion, is still to be worked out in detail
and, even, in certain respects, in prin-
cipIe. The views and ideas of the Hay
ashi government regarding japanese
diplomacy are, however, clear. 1t
would throw overheard the dictation of
that policy by the war Office from the
military viewpoint, and substitute
therefor policy of friendship and eco
nomic cooperation.

full segments of industry. the National
Labor Relations Board may encounter
its greatest embarrassment in efforts
to keep at peace with both the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Com
mite for Industrial Organization.
On the surface, of course, it is not
part of the Labor Boards RESPONSE
bility to keep itself in the good favor
OF parties to industrial disputes, but as
a practical matter it is important that
both of the powerful factions of Or
ganiZed labor cooperate with the Fed
eral agency.
A potent source of embarrassment
exists, however, in the boards func-
ton Of determining labor's bargaining
agency in disputes in such settings as
the so-called mass production indus
tries, where the outlawed C. I. o. is
trampling roughshod over the juris-
dictional claims of the craft unions

The definite vesting of this RESPONSE
bility in the board is set forth in Sec
tion 8 (a) and 9 (b) of the act, with
just enough element of discretion left
to the agency to insure its encounter
eventually with the delicate problem
Of designating either or both Of la
lor's major groups as bargaining
agents for workers of a single indus
try or even plant.
Representatives designated or Sc
lected for the purpose of collective
bargaining by the majority of the
employees in unit appropriate for such
purposes shall be the exclusive repre-
sentatives of all the employees for the
purposes of collective bargaining" it
is set forth in section (a).
Section (b) then continues: The
board shall decide in each case
whether the unit appropriate
for the purposes Of collective bar
gaining shall be the employer unit,
craft unit, plant unit, or subdivision
thereof"
Only the unintentional cooperation
Of General Motors Corp. rescued the
board from the danger Of having to
determine whether "the unit ap-
propriate" for collective bargaining
purposes in their recent strike should
be the employer, craft or plant unit.
John L. Lewis and the c. I. O. were
demanding that the unit be the en-
ployer one-that is, the entire corpora
tion-with the United Automobile
Workers, c. I. O. affiliate, serving as

|CANADA'S STORK
DERBY DISPUTE
TO HIGH COURT
MiIIar Relatives Push
Fight for $5OO,OOO

OTTAWA. Ont. Nov. 4 UN.S).
A battle before the supreme court
of Canada was under way today in
the Charles Millar "stork derby
will case, which originated in the
Ontario courts and is expected to
be carried to the privy council in
England as court Of last appeal.
The main issue before the five
crimSon-robed judges is whether
or not the clause in the will of
the late Toronto lawyer-sports.
man, leaving $500, 900 to the To
ronto mother giving birth to the
most babies in the 10 years follow
ing his death, was against public
policy" and consequently invalid.
KIN SEEK 100000
The Ontario Supreme Court
ruled the clause was not opposed
to public morals or policy and was
valid. This judgment was sus-
tanned by the appellate division.
Arabella West and Alexander
Butcher, close kin Of Millar, are
appealing this decision. They
want to have the will thrown out
and Millar's 100000 estate split
among surviving relatives.
Aside from the main question
is the issue that if children born
out of wedlock are to be included.
The Ontario Supreme Court ruled
that Legitimate children were
not to be counted as children"
in the competition, and the ap-
pelate division also sustained this
point.

admitted that at least five of her
children were born after she left

Ruling
On Black
Expected

Q.N.S0. The Supreme Court,
it was believed today, will rule
for the second time on Monday
on attacks on the legal qualifica-
tions of Justice Hugo L. Black to
his seat.
With a petition for rehearing
before it, containing both attacks
on Justic Blacks right to his seat
and his right to act in the case,
the court probably will consider
the questions on Saturday and
rule on Monday.
RULING CONTESTED
Counsel for Frank J. Ryan Of
Tampa, Fla, the Ryan Florida
Corporation and the Florida Tex
Oil Company raised the question
of Justice Blacks qualifications in
seeking reconsideration of the
courts denial Of a writ Of review.
The petitioners, who contested
lower court rulings that the Securi-
ties Exchange Commission could
issue a blanket subpoena for pri-
vate kilograms, sought to test va
ladity of the SEC and have the
blanket subpoena held an invasion
Of constitutional rights.
Justice Blacks right to his seat
was attacked on the ground that
retirement of Justice Van De-
Vanter did not create a vacancy
and because Justice Black was a
member of the Senate which
passed the retirement act and
thus increased emoluments Of the
office.
PREJUDICE CHARGED
Charging that Justice Black
could not have an open mind in
considering the petition, lawyers
for Ryan and the others asked
that he be disqualified.
Justice Black, they pointed out,
was chairman of a Senate lobby
committee which also seized pri-
vate kilograms. In defending the
committee action, Justice Black
definitely prejudiced himself in
their case, the Ryan lawyers said.
