CONVENTION ON
fcontInuad fron Page D

CONTINUED from Page ~
| President william Green OF the
American Federation OF Labor to-
day interpreted John L. Lewis call
FOR q constitutional convention Of
the Committee for Industrial Or
eanisation, as Q rebuff 70 President
Roosevelt.
Informed Of Lewis decision 10 set
up q permanent rival organization,
announced two days after Mr..
Roosevelt personally had appealed TO
the warning factions 70 make peace,
Green said:
s'In my opinion the call can be
INTERPRETED as an answer to presi-
dent Roosevelt's suggestion for q
termination Of labor's internal
strife"
He declined 10 elaborate. A more
sweeping declaration, rejecting the
views Of the federation In conven-
ton here, may come from the res
olutions committee next week when
it deals with recommendations OF
the executive council. The council
made q bitter attack upon the Q. ].
o. In It's report this year, blaming II
for the continuation Of the labor
war.
Lewis action did not surprise
Green nor any OF the federation
leaders. They said he was following
the same course pursued In the past
by the knights OF Labor, Interna.
tional Workers Of the World and
other organizations which were
rivals Of the federation. All agreed,
however, that formal establishment
Of the O. I. o. on Q permanent basis
would make mediation Of the dis
pute between the two factions vir-
tually impossible.
The federation started Its prep
arations for O flght to the death
last year at Denver when II voted
an assessment for organization"
work. More than $l,700,0O0 has been
spent during the past ~ months for
this and the executive council urged
that It be continued for another
year.
Also under consideration are
plans TO form o new seamans union
and to create within the federation
q maritime department similar In
purpose TO the metal trades, the
building trades, and the union label
trades departments.

war.
Traditional Policy
Great Hritains traditional policy,
which she has always considered
necessary for her security, has been
TO prevent the rise Of any predom-
lnant military power on the CONT.
nent. History shows that Britain
felt herself compelled TO halt the
rise Of other great powers In the
past -- the Dutch, the Spanish and,
In Napoleon's time, the French.
II Europe Is faced with o general
war, II probably will be on the fun.
damentai issue OF stop Hitler.
Three days Of debate In parliament
have furnished slight grounds for
belief that the British government is
entirely satisfied that peace Will fol-
low the Munich agreement. The
more closely you study the joint
declaration Of Hitler and Chamber
lain, syml olising that their nations
would never 60 TO war again, the less
bearing II appears TO have on future
peace.
Rearmanent Continuing
Chamberlain. In the House OF Com.
mons. drew the loudest cheers when
he said that British re-armament
would be continued.
Earl Baldwin, the former prime
minister, In o speech praising Cham
beriain, followed this up with dis
cussion OF means for mobilizing the
nations industries TO make war
preparations more efficient.
There Is o definite movement N
parliament toward the so.ealled
national restrictions act" mentioned
by Baldwin. II would register every
able. bodied inhabitant Of Britain for
selective service In war time.
Uneasiness II General
Even the assertion Of Chamberlain
that Hitler had said he had no more
territorial ambitions In Europe has
failed 10 allay general uneasiness'
The commons greeted the statement
with ronical laughter and the Daily
Telegraph commented: 1T Is ini-
possible to forget that after the re-
occupation OF the Rhineland he
(IIitier) gave similar pledges, the
practical outcome OF which has been
Impressed upon our minds"
Some Of The most astute observers
Of European politics believe that the
future holds at least breathing
space, but they feel that the danger
Of eventual war Is not dissipated.
The outlook can be summed up
much more wildly than that for
those who are looking for straws IN
the wind OF war or peace. The
British government has decided not
to collect the gas masks distributed
TO the people for protection against
air raids.
