on milk prices to farmers.

81 Foreign Nations,
'Soured,' A., Plan 10 Quit

WhuIen Discounts Claim
Of the Exhibitors of
Friction, Labor Trouble

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June ga COM
plant that labor troubles and fric-
ton with the New York Worlds Fair
Corp. had "soured" foreign govern
ments on American eXpositions was
pronounced unjustified today by
unions and by Grover Whalen, the
fairs president.
DR.. Neil Van AIKEN, president of
the Foreign Government Commits
sioners' Club, predicted unless
sentiment changes or special in
ducements are held out" they would
refuse to participate a second year
and would shun other American ex-
hlbitions until this one was for
gotten.
The Commissioners Club repre-
sents So of the So foreign exhibitors
and the other six, South American
countries, are represented by the
Pan American Union.
DR.. Van AIKEN. representing the
Netherlands, said he felt free to
speak out because he is an Ameri-
can citizen.
The foreign exhibitors brought
their own expert workmen and
technicians to the fair, he said, but
were forced to employ American
union laborers even though they
did nothing, leaving the actual work
to the foreigners.
After the pavilions were COM
pleted, in many cases at double the
estimated cost, DR.. Van AIKEN said,
the unions insisted that union
maintenance men be hired, although
in some instances the only task was
to throw an electric switch every
| day.
The foreign nations agreed to en-
/ ter the fair on invitation Of Con-
gress and President Roosevelt, he
recalled, and thus expected a large
! degree of extra territoriality in con-
Quoting their affairs here. Instead.
the fair corporation subjected them
to the same restrictions as CONNER
cial exhibitors, DR.. Van AIKEN pro-
| tested.
Efforts to take their grievances to
the fair administration through
/ their club were rebuffed, he COM
planned, with the reply that a col
lective bargaining agency could not
be established for the nations of the
world.
we know of no conditions that
would justify such statement as
attributed to Mr. Van Aken," de-
| clared Mr.. Whalen.

Peace Is More Than Worthless Words
Philadelphia Record)


 Prime Minister Chamberlains speech Tn the House of Commons hits the nail of the European crisis squarely the head
 Peace proposals? Of course will be ready to listen to peace proposals, he declares. But we shall test them in the light of Hiter's former worthless undertakings
 There is the basic enigma in any scheme of peace or truce What pact mean anything if it is based upon the pledge of a whose word has proven worthless not just once but on almost every occasion of test?
 In 1884, Hitler declared:
 Germany will tread no other path than that laid down by the treaties
 In 1885, he said:
 Germany neither intends nor wishes to annex Austria"
 On the day after he rearmed the Rhineland, in 1886 Hitler cried:
 Germany will never break the peace of Europe. We have no territorial demands in Europe.
 In 1938, the Hitler sad
 Tt (the Sudetenland) is the last territorial clam which l have make in Europe. We do not want any Czechs."
 In 1889 he grabbed Czecha, only few months after he had declared
 We succeeded in arriving at an agreement (with Poand) which for the duration of ten years basically removes the danger of any cash'
 And Poland is swallowed up
 We do not imagine that any two peoples wish for peace earnestly than the peoples of Britain and Germany. at
 But what is peace?
 Peace implies not only cessation of armed hos tities, but also cessation of fear Real peace is founded upon trust
 But as MT Chamberlain says. where is there a basis for trust with Hitler in power? Suppose truce were reached? What would Htlers word be worth six weeks from now? We know the answer: Nothing.

A GUARD FOR ALASKA

Alaska is to have Nauonal Guard. Good The Empire has always been nqualfiedly in favor of such
 measure of military preparedness for the Territory The two companies which Secretary of War Harry Woodrng has ordered organized in Alaska will be but 6 small force, mere beginning We hope that once started the Alaska National Guard will grow until it can really begin cope with the defense problem of this broad Territory
 Such preparedness should not be confused with warmongering Those who suspect or accuse the Administration of wanting war naturally seizing on every preparedness to prove their unfounded thesis But if learned anything in 1917 we learned that there is no advantage in unpreparedness
 The Panama Canal is to have blackout. That is perfectly reasonable step in preparing the Canal Zone for an emergency which nobody say will never come A naval and air patrol of the ocean several hundred miles out from our coasts has been established Naval patrol planes are soaring over the high seas hour after hour and day after day. This is necessary to determine whether beligerent warships are violating neutrality or threatening cur security by establishing bases on or near our shores.
 The Secretary of War has ordered an unprece- dented program of intensive field-raning for about half of our regular Army along with swiftly accelerated reorganization of several divisions To this also may appear to be a step toward But it is nothing of the sort It is sound move to put our defense better footing just in case it is called upon for service
 Unpreparedness did not keep us out of the World War, and preparedness will not take Us into this war. We shall fight stay out depending on what the bulk of Americans want to do in the light of our undoubted interest in the outcome abroad The mere fact that our Army and Navy being recruited to greater strength, that National Guard has been ordered established in Alaska or that other preparedness measures are being taken does not change in any way the factors which will take us into the struggle or keep out.

The "Peacefui'' Balkans
Cincinnati Endllirerl


 Wars in Europe customarily begin in the Balkans and almost invariably spread there if they begin else- where But in the of endless paradoxes which is now being waged reluctantly in Western Europe, and is being wound up swiftly in Poland the Balkan pen insua is still at peace
 It is tense peace, to be sure. Yet there is some reason to believe the may be localized" in the west. Russias army controls an area reaching deep into Europe covering all the Polish-Rumanlan frontier and extending to the frontiers of Hun gary. Unless Berlin can make better deal with Moscow-Ribhentrop not very successful at the Kremlin-the Soviet Union may turn out to be the protector of Rumania from German invasion.
 Turkey allied with the British and French but also with the Soviet Union, is desperately eager to remain neutral Italy evidently feels the same way. And the Soviet Union is finding neutrality" much more profitable than war The result may conceiv- ably be a league of neutrals including Italy Turkey, and Russia with the chief aim of protecting the status quo in the Balkans Such an alignment would be barrier against German expansion eastward even though it's members were the most friendly terms with the Reich
 In war which already has provided an amazing number of upses it would be folly to predict the fate of the Danube Valley beyond the German frontier. But there forces at work which might easily balk the Drang mach Osten of a Germany now more than dependent the resources lying to the southeast
