their alliance.

London, April 17.-(AP)-Soviet
Russia was reported authoritatively
today to have promised eat least ma
terial aid" to the British-French anti
aggression ON front in the event of
war.
British officials were reported to
have been assured that the Soviet
Union would send fighting planes
and other war matrials to help de-
fend Poland and Roumania of either
nations independence were imperil-
led. This was an alternative to direct
Russian military intervention, since
both Warsaw and Bucharest have OBJ
jected to a pledge of Russia's aid.
Neither the Poles nor the Rou-
manians, however, objected to the
substitute scheme, and we'll informed
sources expressed hope that some
measure of Russian support for the
"peace 'front.' can be announced
shortly, perhaps this week.
Roumania and Poland have been
allied for defense against attacks
from Soviet Russia since 1921, and
both were understood to fear that
Germany might regard their accept
ance of Russian army support as
provocative.
Both countries, as well as Greece,
have received British-French pledges
to help defend their independence
against any threat, and both exchang-
ed oral assurances last week of mu-
tual aid in defense against German
attacks.

Floyd Urges
Roosevelt's
Cotton Plan

College Station, Raleigh, April H..
President Roosevelt has advanced
an export plan for cotton which
should receive the consideration of
every North Carolina grower, since
this State is one of the major cot
producing areas, E. Y. Floyd,
AAA executive officer at State Col
lege, said today.
Floyd first listed the four objec-
tives of a cotton program to serve all
interests: Cd The merchandising in
an orderly fashion Of excess sup
plies of cotton; (2) the maintenance
of fair share of the world market
for cotton; (3) the protection of pro-
ducer income; and (4) the accomp-
llsilment Of the aims with the least
possible cost to the U. S. Treasury
The Presidents plan would include
a payment on all cotton released
from loans for export during the life
of the plan. Floyd said the details
OF the plan remain to be worked out,
but it probably would include a pay
ment of $1.25 per bale to producers
who release their loan cotton to the
market, and moderate payment on
all cotton exported after the plan
goes into operation.
Quoting President Roosevelt on the
value of such program, the AAA
officer said: "Such a plan would pro-
tect mill inventories by fixing a rate
at which cotton could be releascls
from the loan. believe there is am
pie authority under existing legisla-
ton to establish import quotas which
would DrOtPct both tho dome ectic r,ro
ducers of raw cotton and probably
domestic manufacturers as we'll from
foreign importations. A payment
coulu be mede on exports of manu-
factured goods so the program would
not put them at a disadvantage in
the world markets."

But labor? AS has been widely ad-
vertised. John L. Lewis CIO con-
siders the law model and wouldn't
have a single comma in it altered
William Green's A. F. of l.. de-
nounces it as a measure designed to
knock the A. F. of LIS underprin-
ming from beneath it and to build up
the CLIO. in short, to the ruination
of all of labor's best interests.
Sentimental witnesses testimony
conflicts, too. Some of it is to the
effect that the law is all right, but
that the Labor Relations Board has
applied it bunglingly. Other critics
maintain that no imaginable board
could have done decent job under
such regulations.
The nub of it is that the thing
might work if the CLIO. and the A.
F. of L. could get together.
Their PHILOSOPHERS Differ.
The trouble is, their PHILOSOPHERS
differ.
Take newspapering, with which
I'm familiar:
A newspaper has printers, stere-
otyperS, engravers, editorial workers
and Whatnot. go
The A. F. of l.. always has argued
that these groups should be organ
lied separately as distinct crafts,
though federated. Incidentally, it
never has been overly friendly to
the idea of recognizing the editorial
crowd as a craft, in. the union labor
sense of craftsmanship. The c. I. O.'s
notion has been to take the whole
bunch into one lineup as an in
dustry. LII
The A. F. of LIS charge is that the
Wagner laws board has taken the
CLOS side in industry generally. 1t
likewise charges that employerdom
has taken advantage of the workers
dispute to play the CLIO. against the
A. F. of L. for employerdom's ben
eft, and to the workers. detriment
/ don't know; it may or may not
be true. If true, don't know wheth-
er or not the Labor Board was right
as to the side it took.
The fact remains that either the
law needs to be changed, to suit all
hands, or the board ought to be re-
organized to suit at least both labor
grOupS-nOt necessarily the employ
ers. And if the laws changed radi-
cally, it would seem as if todays
members of the board would quit
from lack of sympathy with the re-
arrangement.
All this hangs on the findings of
that investigating committee.
Fathers Ryan and Haas.
It is notable that the Rev. Mgr.
John A. Ryan, director of the Ma
tional Catholic Welfare Conference,
declares unqualifiedly for preserva-
ton of the Wagner Law.
The CLIO. has been attacked as
communistic, but it boosts for the
Wagner law. It seems unlikely that
an eminent Catholic clergyman
would support communistic regimen
tation. Father Ryan is one of the
foremost sociologists in this country.
Father Francis j. Haas is advanc-
ed as a member of the Labor Board.
He's another Catholic, certainly no
communist. Father Haas is an edu-
Gator of the first rank, an economist
and sociologist. He has been prom
inently identified recently with cap
ital-and-labOr conciliation activities.
He's more or less in the class with
ex-Assistant Secretary of Labor Ed
ward F. McGrady, who could con-
ciliate anything.
Plenty of cOnciliation is needed and
