Definition Involved,

Definition Involved.
Who is a strike breaker? Is he
a professional who works merely
for the duration of a dispute and is
not really bona fide employe? Or
is he anybody who replaces a striker
at a higher wage than those on
strike? And if the latter definition
which now is written in the bill, is
accepted as law. would not Congress
be in the position of limiting the
right to work only to those who now
are members of employe organiza-
tions desiring to use the strike
weapon?
1t is significant that if any en-
ployes should make use of informa-
ton with respect to labor disputes
obtained by them while working in
the offices of the employer, or should
report to their union organizations
any information relating to the op-
erations of the employer when such
information is of equal value to the
union organizations as some of the
information obtained by labor
spies" there is no ban on espion-
age nor any suggested method of
controlling such abuses of conf
dence. The whole field is one which.
because of despicable instances of
employer espionage, has led to a
discussion of correctives, but it can
nevertheless, be ultimately used bv
future Congresses as constitutions,
precedent for regulating employe as
well as employer conduct to an ex-
tent hitherto undreamed of by the
friends Of labor in America.

Resurrection of Czechoslovakia
Cleveland Plain Dealerl

As Poland valiantly defends her independence in a which friends of liberty hope will be victorious however black the outlook may now measures are already being taken to free Czechosovaka from the Nazi grip.
 The destruction of that country by Hitler, the ruthless oppression of it's people their degradation to
 status without the limited rights of Nazi citizenship their forced labor in the German arms factories and the roads. have brought a revulsion of feeling in high places.
 We look forward through the triumph of the principle for which have taken up arms, to the relief of the Czech people from foreign domination " These not the words of a Czecho- -Slovak patriot but those of Prime Minister Chamberlain who
 year ago permitted Hitler to destroy the central European republic for the sake of peace in time Other British political leaders have expressed this sentiment in similar words. One concommitant of victory will be the restoration of Czechoslovakia.
 In this the Sovaks even those who connved with Hitler for the setting up of independent" state. are concuring The military occupation of Slovakia prior to the attack on Poland wiped out what re- maned of it's dubious freedom Just after the start of the war, Ladislaw Szatmary Sovak Minister to Poland. protested to Polish Foreign Minister Beck against the Naz occupation and asked Beck ito assure Poland that Slovakia awaits help from Poland in re- gaining it's independence" He charged that Slovak ministers were the tools of German politics
 The world well remembers the fight the Czecho- Slovaks made for their freedom in the last war President Benes has already promised the allies that his people will give every aid in this war A Czech legion has been formed in Poland Thousands of Czechs enlistng in the French Army Although they ground down more progressively than under the Hapsburg monarchy; the Czech-Slovaks of today will act to the limit of their capacity as good soldiers in the cause of democracy

A CITY UNBOMBED

There many why the German air fleet not used in the earliest stages of the war to bomb London. A year ago the open hint of such an application of totaitarian major weapon in Germanys diplomacy. With it. the Reich Czechoslovakia without dropping single bomb.
 The British have not forgotten the threats Women children and incapacitated persons to the number of 3OO0OO0 have been evacuated from Lon don. This removal-of children leaving their parents for neither knew where of hospital patients carried stretchers country truckswill be important chapter when the history of the present is written
 London is by all odds the most vulnerable capi tai in Europe It has the largest population. It is only 10 minutes flying time from the frontier And it includes in one small area the political conner cia and financial capital of Great Britain and the empire. t
 Admittedly it is a tempting target for general staff which has always proceeded the theory that frightfuness is the 6Qrppag of military success.
 Yet, with the wal more than month old London has not been bombed One reason for Naz reluctance to send air fleet to England the state of British anti-aircrat preparedness said to be excellent An other is that the British air force today roughly match for the German It little smaller it's planes not quite good, but it's pilots the whole are more experienced.
 
 day just at present why the air raid sirens have not screamed in London is that Hitler has been hoping for peace with the big allies after he polished off the little one, Poland. When London and Paris become, in the place of Warsaw the goal of Naz military drives may expect to attack from the air London
 The British leaders order fer evacuation of the capital does not imply however. that air lombard ment of London would be successful if undertaken. The record in the Chinese and Spanish wars would indicate that air bombing of civilian population ters does not any military end Instead of de- moraizng people, it creates the will to fight back And it involves colossal expenditure to do amazingly little damage London it neeGs to be remembered, is nearly ninetenths open space Provided anti-aircrat batteries and pursuit planes keep enemy bombers at high attitudes nine out of ten bombs dropped on London will do negligible damage
 This is not to minimize the horrors of totalitaran with it's rain of death from the skies. What we pointing is the very different fact that light ming blow against London from the air will almost certainly fail military enterprise. This will be doubly true with the bulk of London's women and children removed to comparative safety.

An Error of Fact
Cincinnati Enquirer)

(Cmclnnatl EnQulrer)
 Often we hear wel-meaning persons observe in conversation that after all Germany is only trying to get back what was hers" With respect to the Free City of Danzg alone there is truth ir this. But although German in population, Danzig is far more important to Poland economically and long run has been prosperous in the Polish cus- toms union than part of Germany.
 With respect to the other Polish areas demanded by Hitler the we-intended qualifications of German claims are utterly uninformed. Pomorze, usually known as the Polish Corridor was once part of the German Empire, to be sure. But it was part of Poland before that for centuries And at all times it has been inhabited largely by Poles not Germans. Silesa also demanded by Hitler was part of pre- Germany. But there again it was still earlier part of Poland and is predomnantly Polish in popu- lation today.
 Raymond Leslie Buell. a careful, objective scholar, who has written the only thorough and rstrate book on Poland in English, has shown concusvey that while Poland has been grasping in the east she has every reasonable claim to the former German areas The frontiers drawn in 1919 between Poland and Ger many are close to the line between Polish and Ger man populations as it is humanly possible to draw them
 When Hitler demands "only what taken from Germany at Versailles" it needs to be remembered that he is demanding what Prussia seized from in- dependent Poland between 1772 and 1815 Excepting Danzg, he is demanding areas in which Poles out number Germans.

Peacetime Disaster
Philadelphia Recorderl

For the past 115 days salvage experts of the U s. Navy have been working to raise the sunken sub marine Squalus and to recover the bodies of her 26 dead Now that feat has been accomplished, and the Naval Board of Inquiry will continue to seek the cause of the disaster.
 We hope the cause is found whether it failure on the part of the crew or failure of valve as re- ported
 But we must remember that the sinking of the Squaus in wartime would have been but an incident; there is rush of divers and salvage experts to raise German U-boat. In war, the families of the 26 dead would have mourned they do today but to the rest of the country the names of the dead would have been only few lines of type in casualty list
 Life is valuable-in peacetime. If we can stay out of keep the lives of Americans valuable
