brought about the September events
were again getting the upper hand.

He heaped scorn upon what he
termed British attempts to divide
the world into virtuous and virtue
less nations.
The Fuehrer drew laughter when
he said sarcastically:
Il think we had better leave 1t to
God to say who is virtuous and
who not.
ITO this the British statesmen
will perhaps reply that God has
already judged who is virtuous, for
He gave one-fourth of the earth to
them.
ITO this I answer: But what were
the methods? Certainly they were
not virtuous. For 300 years Eng
land has not acted virtuously.
1T was evidently compatible with
virtue to take our colonies away.
II would like to ask the English
gentlemen: Do they really believe
what they say? We must assume
they do not. We would lose any
respect for them if we thought they
believed it.

Italy and Germany
Believed S|owinq
Expansion Drive
Paris Interprets Hitler
Speech as Gesture
For Cancellation
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 1.-Belief that Nazi
Germany and Fascist Italy now may
be backing down from their CAM
paigns of expansion in the face of a
stronger French and British stand
was expressed in diplomatic quarters
tonight.
Chancellor Hitler's speech at Will
helmshaven today was interpreted
as a gesture for at least temporary
conciliation with the democracies.
Follows Duce's Speech.
Hitler's address followed by only a
day Premier Mussolini's announce
ment that Italy could wait for
satisfaction of its colonial demands
against France.
France and Britain, however, are
expected to persist in their efforts
to bring the countries of Central
and Eastern Europe into a general
mutual assistance pact to serve as a
definite barrier to Hitler.
Although it had been feared Hit
Ter might reply belligerently to
Britains announcement of British
French armed support for Poland,
study of the speech led to the con-
clusion it contained no sensational
announcement"
The French British pledge to sup
port Poland in event of aggression
was reviewed at a cabinet meeting
this morning, and further negotia-
tions were foreseen with Poland,
Rumania and Yugoslavia.
French diplomats, accepting Prime
Minister Chamberlain's pledge to
Poland as final decision by
Britain to commit herself on the
continent. sought to complete "a
mutual assistance bloc around Ger
many and prevent any expansion of
Hitler's empire to the detriment of
France. Britain and their allies.
The British we're participating
fully in the effort. which it was
hoped would line up Poland and
Rumania and possibly Yugoslavia
in an agreement by which each
would lend armed assistance to
the other if any one were attacked.
Count on Soviet for Supplies.
The part projected for Soviet
Russia to play would be at least
to furnish war supplies quickly and
In abundance to either Poland or
Rumania should they be attacked.
Whether the Russians would be
asked for immediate dispatch of
armed forces of their own was in
doubt.
Hopes that the stop Hitler" bloc
would be strong enough to influence
the Reichsfuehrer also were based
on the attitude of Italy.
The restraint of Premier Mus
solini in his speech of yesterday
he said Italy could wait for
realization of her Colonial demands
on France-was taken as promis-
ing sign that Italy does not wish
to push her complaint against
France at time when there is
danger Of a general war.

REDUCTION in
WORK HOURS
WAR-BLOCKED

Geneva (ILNS) Danger of war is
blocking early world action on pro-
posed reduction of hours in industry
and commerce, the International La
Dor Office reveals.
In report on reduction in hours, to
be submitted to the international La
bor Conference when it opens in Ge-
neva on June 8, the /. L. O. suggests
that the question be postponed and
referred back to the governing body
for reconsideration at later date.
The report discloses that of 25 gov
ernments which have replied to
QUESTIONABLE sent out last fall by the
LILO, only seven governments IA
vor 40-hour week.
Others Declare Opposition
Nine others are definitely opposed
to any reduction of the work week be-
low 48 hours and the remaining nine,
while favoring the principle of
shorter work week, declared that they
could not contemplate reduction at
this time.
The report says that in the present
state of political insecurity and eco
nomic instability throughout great
part of the world, governments hesi-
tate to assume an international obli-
cation at this time to reduce hours of
, work in industry and commerce.
sIt is obvious" says the report,
"that they wish to remain free, in
order to be able to meet any obliga-
tions that may be suddenly imposed
by the requirements of national mill
tary and economic defense.
Situation Can't Be Ignored"
"The international Labor Organiza
tion cannot ignore the present situa-
ton. Thus the /. L. O.. is of the opin-
ion that, unless there is very marked
change for the better in the situation
during the next months, the confer
ence would do we'll to postpone the
| discussion on the generalization of the
reduction of hours of work in industry
and commerce.
"The present situation is altogether
exceptional and cannot be other than
temporary. When it becomes possible
to build up genuine political and
economic peace, the problem of reduc-
ing hours of work will be increasingly
important and will have to be exam
ined internationally in all it's aspects"

and blue ribbon carries the initials of
the A. F. G. w. U. N. A. and through
the ribbon is fastened the union label
of the Flint Glass Workers Union in
the form of a lapel button, which may
be worn after the convention. Over
their emblem, on the button, are the
words, "Buy American" 1t goes with
out saying that the badge bears the
union label.

An outstanding feature of the plan
was the complete abolition of the Ma
tional Bituminous Coal Commission
and the transfer of it's functions to the
Interior Department.
Roosevelt's reorganization plan, sec
ond to be submitted to Congress since
approval of the government reorgan-
izatlon act, is the last to be presented
at this session, he said.
A third reorganization program
will be drafted for submission early in
the next session of Congress, he said.
