division in labor is fundamental
Mr.. Green cautioned Senator Ell
lender against being swayed by sug-
gestions that peace would return il
the rival leaderships should abdi-
cate. He said he did not believe the
differences over whether the Wag-
ner Act should be revised are mill
tating against the peace efforts.
In concluding his prepared state
ment on the A. F. L. amendments
MIR. Green assailed suggestions that
the act be revised to correct its al
legged one-sidedness, opposing in par
ticular the suggestions Of Senator
Burke for setting up a list of unfair
labor practices for employees and for
prohibiting worker coercion from
any source"
This is a pro-labor act and was
enacted as such. 1t grew out Of the

Likewise opposing provisions which
would require a majority vote Of
workers to approve strike, Mr.
Green emphasized that the Fedora.

tions sacred, but that the right tc
strike must not be impaired except
where special conditions warrant.
For example, he pointed out, I'VE

tion Of amending the Wagner Act,
concluding with the declaration that
1t had and would proceed as expe-
diously as it could wisely do so.
In his detailed reply to the Lewis
letter. Mr.. Green denied first that
any one other than the members of
the Executive Council Of the A. Il.
had participated in drafting the
Federation amendments and that
they were prepared solely in the in
terests of "all classes of people"
Mr.. Lewis had asked If the Fed
Grafton had assistance in the prepa-
ration and had been working to
other interests.
OF Mr.. Lewis subsequent ques-
tion as to whether the A. F. of L
amendments were prepared with the
advice and counsel Of the N. A. M.
or Of corporate representatives, Mr..
Green replied heatedly:
1T is difficult to exercise self
restraint in making answer to such
question. One must subordinate
feeling when doing SO. At no time
have I ever conferred with or coun-
seled with any representative of
corporations of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers in the
preparation and construction of
these amendments.
do not, at any time, ever confer
in either secret or open meetings
with representatives of various
corporations.
Mr.. Green became particularly
vehement in refuting the final Lewis
question as to why there is wide
spread revolt" within the Federation
over their amendments.
Raising his voice and his finger
before the committee, the Fedora
ton leader shouted:
II wish to state there is no re-
volt on the part of the international
unions, State federations, local labor
bodies and locals affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor.
Whatever change may have taken
place among some few local or
ganizations and groups is due en-
tirely to c. I. o. Misrepresentation
and malicious propaganda such as is
incorporated in this letter to which
am making reply.
Personal Abuse Charged.
II repeat, instead of attacking the
amendments upon their merits, the
c. I. O. has engaged in a malicious
campaign of personal abuse, appeals
to passion and class prejudice and
the dissemination of falsehoods and
untruths respecting not the merits
of amendments, but their prepara-
ton and presentation to your COM
mittee.

Roper 10 Remain

Only Several Months
Appointment Believed
Made for Visit
Of King and Queen

Daniel G. Roper, former Secre-
tary of Commerce, planned to con-
fer with Secretary of State Hull
today in connection with his ap-
pointment as Minister to Canada.
Mr.. Roper's nomination was for
warded to the Senate by President
Roosevelt yesterday and quick ap-
proval Is expected.
Mr.. Roper, u, who has been
practicing law here since he re-
signed his cabinet post in December
in favor of Harry Hopkins, probably
will remain as our diplomatic rep
resentative in Ottawa only two
or three months.
The urgent necessity of this coun-
try's having a minister in Canada
during the visit of the King and
Queen of Great Britain led to the
appointment. The post has been
vacant since Norman Armour left
it for Chile in January, 1898.
Mr.. Roper said today that in the
past he has travelled extensively
through Canada, his most recent
trip being two years ago. He SAID
the appointment was a surprise. The
post repeatedly had been offered to
several men, among them Claude
Bowers, former Ambassador to
Spain, who turned 1t down, it Is
said, because of the expense in
volved.
The position pays $4,000 a year,
and expenses are estimated at
$25 900.
Mr.. Roper will take to his Ottawa
post wide background of expert
ence in the Government. He became
a Senate clerk in 1894 and, in one
capacity or another, has been In
Government work almost continu-
ously since that time
He was practicing law here when
appointed Secretary of Commerce

mination and desire to hold fast
and maintain all the benefits and
advantages which have accrued to
them through the maladministra-
ton Of the National Labor Relations
Act by prejudiced board. They are
fighting desperately against giving
up the advantages they hold and
which have been accorded to them
by board which evidently has alb
sorbed and accepted their peculiar
brand Of trade union and economic
philosophy.
why does the c. I. o. oppose
amendments to the National Labor
Relations Act. why do they wish to
maintain it just as it is, why do
they seek to continue the present
maladministration of the act?
'"The answer is simple. They have
been the beneficiaries. They seek to
maintain these benefits. They know
If the act remains as it is and Is
administered as it has been that the
cause of the C. l. o. will be greatly
advanced and the position of the
American Federation of Labor will
be made more difficult. They do not
wish for a fair and judicious ad-
ministration of the act, but instead
they want a proc. I. o. biased ad-
ministration in the interests of the
leaders of the C. I. o."
Earlier, as Senator Ellender, Demo-
crat, of Louisiana, asked if peace
negotiations were still under way
between the C. I. o. and the A. F.
of L., Mr.. Green said that they
were, adding: I'm willing to explore
all possibilities Of peace. The door

In Washington

Louis Paul Lochner. winner of the
1888 Pulitzer award for foreign cor

He was philatelist and a worker
for international harmony long be-
fore he became practicing Journal
list.
Mr.. Lochner first came to Wash
ington as secretary to Henry Ford.
He was present at the initial meeting
between the Dearborn automobile
magnate and President Wilson and
has told the story of it in a book,
Americas Don Quixote," published
in 1925. Sailing with Mr.. Ford in
the famous peace ship in 1915, he
established and became secretary of
the American Neutral Conference
Committee with Offices in Stockholm

ency Peace Conference in 1916 and
director of the Peoples Council

Ulster Conscription Studied.
With quick enactment of COM
pulsory training forecast, Prime
Minister Chamberlain arranged to
discuss details of the possible con-
scription of Ulstermen with Viscount
Craigavon, premier of Northern Ire
land.
At the same time j. w. Dulanty,
Irish high commissioner in London,
went to Dublin to discuss the ques-
ton with Prime Minister Eamon de
Valera.
The strained position between
Britain and Ireland arose from
Craigavon's assertion that Loyal
lists (of the six counties of Northern
Ireland still joined to England)
would deeply resent any attempt to
exclude them" from conscriptior.
On the other hand, De Valera has
warned against conscription of Irish
men.
Sir Thomas Mclaughlin, spokes-
man for the Nationalists of Northern
Ireland, said, I'VE will by every
means in our power, and if neces-
sary by physical force, resist any at
tempt to enforce consumption on the
six counties"
The text of the CONSUMPTION bill,
made public last night, authorized
King George to apply the act to
Northern Ireland.
1t was believed compromise
would be worked out, however, by an
understanding that it would not be
applied there through an order in
council except in an actual emer-
gency.
Unofficial estimates at Belfast
said of 5000 in Northern Ireland
who would be affected by the mea-
sure, 5000 would object.
If satisfactory arrangement
was worked out with Northern
Ireland, however, it was still ex-
pected De Valera would object to
conscription of Irishmen working
in England.
The text of the bill assured
Britishers they would not lose their
employment or social benefits by
the enforced service. The legisla-
ton provides penalties for nom
reinstatement in jobs and allows
a moratorium on certain debts.
Cost of the CONSUMPTION scheme
was estimated at $138 100000 an
nually.
The cabinets consideration yes
terday of negotiations with Soviet
Russia for a pact against any ag-
gression led informed persons to
expect announcement of an agree
ment before the end of the week.
The government announced that
it would introduce legislation as
soon as possible requiring that it
have first call on any merchant ships
to be sold or scrapped.
The House of Commons was in
formed that this action was being
taken because of the international
situation and the adverse comment
aroused by the sale to Germany of
three freighters by two British firms
last month.

BY the Associated Press


NEW YORK, May 2-The Pu-
liter award for distinguished serv-
ice as. a foreign correspondent went
to Louis P. Lochner, chief OF the
Associated Press Berlin bureau, on
a day crowded with swift-moying
events of Germany's May Day.
Two speeches by Adolf Hitler and
other speeches by Field Marshal
Goering and Propaganda Minister
Goebbels were part of his schedule
on the day he received the citation.
II regard the prize as a solemn
obligation always to interpret the
news. and especially the German
situation, to the American public
impartially and fairly" Mr.. Lochner
said last night in a broadcast by
Pulitzer prize winners.
"Year in and year out, we news
papermen write about other people.
We watch the movements of the
great and near-great. We try to
interpret them to our readers in
human terms which all will under
stand. We are too busy to think
of ourselves"
Bureau Chief II Years.
Mr.. Lochner, the dean of A. P.
European correspondents, has been
chief of the Berlin bureau for IL
years. He joined the staff there IN
1924 and few men have written more
foreign news or more front page
news than he in recent years.
Mr.. Lochner is So years old. He
was born on Washington's birthday
in Springfield, Ill. He graduated
from the University of Wisconsin,
with Phi Beta Kappa honors, in
1909.
He was secretary on Henry Ford's
peace ship, which sailed for Europe
December 4, 1915, for an attempt to
end the World War.
Bald, with greying fringe of hair
Mr.. Lochner hurries about bare
headed, driving his own car all over
Berlin calling on hundreds of friends
to gather news.
Keeps Confidence Of All.
His extremely wide acquaintance
with Germans as an Associated Press
reporter for years before Hitler came
to power has kept all doors open to
him. He knew Germans of all ranks
from the Kaiser down. Many of
these friends became Nazis. Mr..
Lochner today has retained the con-
f1dence of people who have changed
politically and socially and he can
check story through well-informed
persons of different views.
Few foreigners gain the perfect
command of another language which
Mr.. Lochner has in German. He
speaks readily in public and Ger
mans have said he can make better
talk in German than most of them
because, as foreigner, he is meticu-
lous in his care to speak correctly.
His large head is a combination OF
encyclopedia and current events
His quick interest in humanity
leavened by a sense of humor, in
spires MIN to write understandingly
on all subjects. He knows German
politics and his news gathering
travels over Europe have given him
thorough knowledge of all inter-
national affairs.
Interviews with the great, the
Kaiser, Hindenburg, Hitler and
talks with "the man in the street
always have kept him in touch
with what people think as an ex-
PLANTATION Of what they do.
Talks With Hitler Often.
Hitler often has talked with Mr.
! Lochner just as the former Kaiser
frequently has and still does. Ernst
| "Putzi" Hansfstaengl, long Hitler's
crony but now out of favor, was
Lochner's friend during the same
years. He knew well scores and
scores of those who became Nazis
and equal numbers Of those who
didn't.

man Zeppelin, Capt. Hugo Eckener,
treats Lochner almost like a son
and brought him on the first flight
of the Hindenburg to the United
States.
Mr.. Lochner's quick mental pace
is paralleled by his physical activity.
He takes his exercise by work. He
keeps his well-tanned body lean
by hurrying. He has been president
of the American Chamber of Com
merce, of the Foreign Journalists
Association and active in scores Of
public bodies, all of which keep him
in touch with what Is going on.

} SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Peter Exhorts to Christian Living
Text: I Peter 3:8-18

turns to suggest some things in practical philosophy of life. If one would live well and happily, let him restrain his tongue, let him turn from evil and do good, let him seek peace and pursue it. The Christian is living under the watchful eye of the Lord, whose ears are open unto their applications.
 Nothing can harm a truly good man, for even if suffering comes to him, for righteousness sake there is blessing. The way of attaining this good life is to santify Christ as Lord in the heart, for thereby one can give a reason for the hope that is in him and he can have a good con- science, even when there are those who revile hiW.
 Peter does not promise these dis ciples immunity from sorrow or suf- fering. He points out that Christ has suffered. He points out that Christ has suffered, and that His followers are in the way of the cross. But he says that it is better that we should suffer for well-doing rather than for evil-doing.
 Here is a plain. practical Christian Philosophy of life by one who had himself gone through great deal of trial and temptation, strain and suffering. Peter had found the way by which weak men may be made strong, and by which impulsive and nasty men could attain to stability and persistency of life and purpose His words come to tried and sorely tempted men with the authority of experience and with the power ot faith.
 Perhaps it is worth while to point out how essentially the apostles agree when they present the nature of the Christian life and the ex- hortation to live it.
 Paul and Peter may not always have agreed on questions of law and discipline, but there is no diff ference between Paul's exhortation to Christian love and Peters when it comes to refining Christianity in terms of character and conduct.
