BY SIR PHILIP GIBBS,

WITH THE BRITISH FORCES
IN FRANCE, Oct. 31.-The sun was
shining over this part of France
again yesterday after cold winds and
sleet, but the ground is still boggy
after heavy rain. During this pc
riod of inactivity, the social center
behind one part of our line for lucky
officers billeted near an old market
town with the usual grande place is
certain restaurant where big fire
burns on an open hearth and where
there is good food, good wine and
good beer.
1t reminds one of the Hotel Sui
grave at Cassel, where in the last
war young officers came to have
their last good meal before going out
to Ypres and the fields of death be-
yond, or of the Hotel Durhine at
Amiens during the battles of the
Somme.
Old Friends Appear.
In this war so far there are no
battles, no casualties and no fears
that the next meal may be the last,
but the crowd at the tables might
be those who sat down 81 years ago.
Some of the officers wear the ribbon
of that other war. Now and then in
comes a veteran whom 1 knew as a
junior officer and who by some mira
Gle remembers my face and name.
But most of them are young men
of the new mechanized army or the

British Note 10 U.S
Denies Athena Had
Guns in Her Hold
Vessel Was Torpedoed
By U-Boot, London Says;
Anderson's S View Hit
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Great Britain has denied to the
United States that the liner Athena
carried guns or was designed to be
a raider.
Lord Lothian, the British Ambas-
sador delivered note to the State
Department last night reiterating
his governments contention that the
ship was sunk September by sub
marine. The Athena was en- route
to Canada and carried many Ameri-
cans and Canadians who headed
homeWard at the outbreak of the
war.
The note also said the ship carried
no bullion or securities.
Paul Goebbels, German propa-
ganda minister, had charged that
the Athena carried guns and was to
be equipped as a raider. He also
suggested the British sank her in
order to involve the United States in
the war. This was denied by Lord
Lothian.
Although the note made no direct
reference to the Goebbels charges, it
did reply to those of Gustav Ander-
son of Evanston, ILL.,, passenger on
the Athena. Mr.. Anderson had
made an affidavit saying B. M. Cop
land, the ships chief officer, told him
there were guns in the hold and
that the Athena was to be outfiitted
as a raider.
The British note said Mr.. COPELAND
had sworn that he never discussed
with the passengers whether there
were guns on board. 1t said Mr..
COPELAND also declared there were no
guns or munitions on the Athena.

companions harked back always to
the mystery Of this war and the
chances of big hostiities in the near
future. They did not put out OF
reckoning the possibility Of a Ger
man attack on a grand scale in
which they would be involved. But
the general opinion seemed to be
that the year Is getting too late
for that.
Face Winter Of Inactivity.
Unless Adolf Hitler is more mad
than we believe, he would not order
general attack or try to smash
out in other places. now that No.
vember is upon u.s. Mists and rain
sodden fields, they say, are not help
full to mechanical columns or aerial
combat. The prospect of a long
winter of continued inactivity does
not seem inviting to these young
men, but they are not asking for
bloody battles as the cheerful alter
native.
They speak lightly of that alter
native as though it held some dark
hUmor, and the restaurant in which
they gather sometimes for a good
meal resounds with laughter and
jokes. But beyond the scene, where
brass pots gleam brightly In the
flicker of the freight, there is the
unknown future, which none of these
boys can see and at which none of
us can guess.
How long is this kind of peace in
war going to last? That is the ques-
ton which haunts us all, and I have
met no one who can give an answer.

HlRM opposition of the American Federation OF
Labor to the action of Congress in abolishing,
by the enactment of the Emergency Relief Appro-
priaton Act of 1889, prevailing hourly wage rates
on WPA projects, and an equally firm determina-
ton to insist the reincorporation Of prevailing
wage rates for workers employed on jobs under
the control of the Works Projects Administration
featured the address of William Green, president
of the Federation before the recent convention of
the New York State Federation Of Labor.
Mr.. Green referred to "the fight which the
building trades have been making to preserve and
protect the very vital, fundamental principle of
organized labor; that is, that in all government
work undertaken under governmental auspices
and governmental administration, the standard OF
wages and living conditions established by organ
lied labor in each community shall be maintained
1--WE hod,' he declared, 'that the payment of
the prevailing rate of wages to workers employed
lby the Government is fundamental principle that
I'VE shall contend for with no compromising until
the bitter end.
1--WE are carrying on the fight in order to have
lit applied to all buildings launched before July l.
1889. But, my friends if the Government refuses
to recognize right if they still persist in the
application of so-called governmental fixed Sc
Icurity wage for those employed upon building con-
Istruction, we will go with our fight until the

WPA BUYING BIG EMPLOYMENT AID

INDUSTRIAL mobilization accomplished by the
WPA during the four years ending June 3Oth,
1889, has accomplished many things which would
have been impossible without the activity of some
such agency.
Notable is the showing of total of over a
billion dollars spent for materials equi pment and
supplies as also the expenditure of over $500
million for the rental of equipment from private
individuals and contracting concerns.
Not all of this was spent directly by the WPA
itself, as local and state sponsoring organizations
expended funds amounting to about $608 million.
The Federal funds expended amounted to about
$469 million. These total altogether about 81 700
millions spent by Federal funds and local sponsors
funds during the four years on WPA work pro-
jects.
Stone, clay and glass products accounted for
the ma or portion amounting to q total of S37S4
million. Iron and steel products took about S195
Millions Lumber and its products called for $113
millions Paving and other bitumnous mixtures
used 500 millions worth. Textiles accounted for
over $40 millions. Machinery and equipment used
up $457 millions. Motor trucks and tractors called
for about 81 millions. Chemicals We're used to the
value Of 1888 millions, and petroleum products
were valued at $26 millions. Miscellaneous items
such as fuel plumbing, tires etc. totaled up to
$115 millions.
From these there may be formed some idea of
the indirect effects upon employment generally of
the materials and equipments employed in the
prosecution of the WPA projects in the last four
years.

BOTH MEAN DICTATORSHIP AND
TERRORISM

E'HE Naz-SoViet trade and non-aggresson agree
ment is making many Americans see that
Communism and Nazi-Fascism have much in COM
mon.
Both systems as one radical writer is frank
enough to admit, 'have followed the same political
pattern, vast and highly centralized one-party
dictatorship, reducing every aspect of society to
its sway"
'lt is beginning to dawn on those able to face
facts" he further says, that Fascism and Rus
sian Communism more alike than unlike, and
their likeness is increasing day by day"
The man in the street who Jumps Naz-ism and
Communism together is coming pretty close to the
truth, after all.

he claimed, would insure better grade judiciary
than we now have, and it would also keep the
judges close to the problems of all the people.
Several magistrates in New York City, who
listen only to so-called minor cases, would grace
the highest courts in the land their daily contact
with the tribulatons of ordinary men and women
having enlarged their vision and broadened their
sympathies, while many: superior judges could
learn great deal by spending time in police
courts. The absurdity and hardness of opinions
issuing from appellate courts spring from the fact
that their judges have long since lost touch with
common humanity. Instead of considering it an
ndignity to sit in police courts, they should con-
slider it a privilege and duty.

RAILROAD SAFETY JEOPARDIZED?

RAlLROADS Tor Some Time have been cutting
down maintenance costs. Recent wrecks
are beginning to reflect inadequate equipment es-
pecally where high speed, streamlined trains are
operated, it is feared.
Wrecks are bad news for public, workers and
the railroads themselves.
For number of years, American railroads
have made fine records for safety in carrying pas
sengers and have greatly reduced accidents that
kill or hurt employees Last year the carriers set
a safety record based on man-hours of work for
fatalities to employees
They can't keep up the good work if they let
equipment deteriorate OF fail to keep pace with
faster trains.
The part of wisdom for the railroads is to
strain every resource to keep equipment up to
standards which have brought such good results
in the past.

LABOR'S OPPOSITION TO WAR

THE fundamental opposition of the American
Federation of Labor to war as method of
settling disputes between nations was again
strongly emphasized by President William Green
of the A. F. of L. in a letter to w. Schevenels,
general secretary of the international Federation
of Trade Unions, Paris, France written shortly
before the invasion of Poland by the Nazi govern
ment of Germany and the declaration of war by
Great Britain and France which followed the ac-
tion of the Hitler regime.
Mr.. Green voiced the belief that the workers
of Germany, if they could make their views known,
would register themselves in opposition to war
and expressed the sincere hope that organized la
Dor in Europe would join with the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor in opposition to war.
The text of President Green's letter to Cen
eral Secretary Schevenels follows:
ut seems inconceivable that the German work
ers would give support to the war preparations
and the war drive which is being made by
their Naz leaders. Working people in the United
States cannot help but believe that the masses of
the workers of the German nation think as the
workers do in other nations throughout the world.
We abhor and protest against it, We insist
and demand that differences between nations be
settled in peaceful way through conferences and
consultation.
'1n the interest of peace and order to prevent
the saughterng of working men and women in a
cruel, ruthless war, | supplement the appeal made
by the representatives of the British workers to
the German working men and women to join with
us in protesting and in opposition to the
threat of war.
eve appeal to the heart and conscience of all
working men and women throughout the world to
mobilize their moral influence and support in op-
position to the threatened war in Europe.
81 am taking the liberty of transmitting this
appeal through you, the official representative of
the International Federation of Trade Unions, with
the hope that the voice of Labor may be heard and
it's influence felt in all the efforts which being
put forth to avert an international catastrophe"
