the State Federation of Labor, to-
day denied charges made by Direct
or of Industrial Relations George
Kidwell and State Senator John F..
Shelley, president of the San Fran

a Childish and harmful position"
in representing labor factions.
Kidwell and Shelley complained
that he had failed to support a bill
amending the unemployment re-
serves act to join with Philip
Bancroft and the Associated Farm
ers to oppose progressive amend
mentS.' Vandeleur said he had not
opposed the bill but said he felt
a better one was in the assembly.
Vandeleur scored Gov. Culbert
Olson's proposal to send a jurisdic-
tional dispute at Westwood and cit
ed the 81 vote against it by the
workers as indication that work
will not be resumed until paycuts
are restored. He said the resolu-
ton mentioned was signed by &c

actment of proposed farm legisla-
ton would give President Roose-
velt an excellent opportunity to OPP
pose congressional efforts to repeal
so-called business deterrent tax
es. He could argue persuasively
that no source of revenue should be
abandoned and additional sources
might be needed if congress per-
sisted in appropriating beyond bud
get estimates.
Congress has been generally res
ponsive to farm relief demands.
But sentiment is more evenly divid-
ed at this session. A huge agri-
culture committee test vote tied
yesterday II to II on motion to
reduce the farm bill within budget
ed limits.
The economy phase of the gen.
eral business appeasement program
already has sunk almost beyond
salvage. Under those currently
chilling circumstances Chairman
Mariner S. Eccles of the Federal
Reserve System, the leading New
Deal advocate of free spending for
recovery, has called for prompt
showdown whether congress actual
ly prefers economy to a painful eff

balance. He warned a senate COM
mittee that disaster would over
take decreased federal spending.
He was answered Immediately by
Chairman Pat Harrison, D., Miss,
Of the senate finance cmmittee, one
of the economy bloc.
"If the statement of Mr.. Eccles
represents the views of the presi-

Harrison said, "and he desires the

Poland Will Fight for Donzig,
Alone if Need Be, Says Marshal
No Repetition Of Czecho-S|ovoko,

no mere demonstration. At that time
we were ready to go to war If neces-
sary."
No one can spend any time in
Poland without realizing this Is a
united country. Poland Is the only
country on which the four months OF
war OF nerves has had no effect, al
though 1t is the only country directly
menaced. Reckless and calm at
once, united Poland is willing to
fight and die, If need be, for prin-
ciple. Here in Poland is again the
flame, the uncalculating valor, the
wild courage which has starred the
pages of history and turned its course
to victory against immeasurable
odds.
Army Smaller Than Reich's.
I asked the marshal if he would
care to say a few words about Po-
lands military situation.
He answered with a little smile:
"Poland's army is not as big as
Germany's, but it is a pretty good
army. But in case of war, every
man and every woman of whatever
age would be soldier of Poland"
Poland has friendly relations with
the neighboring states. In answer
to what form this good understand
ing might be expected to take in
case of war, the marshal replied:
This is not an easy question to
answer. The small Baltic countries
would probably not wish to expose
themselves and would maintain a
strict neutrality
What about Russia?" I asked
You have an economic treaty with
her. Could you not expect raw ma
terials from Russia?"
I'VE have a non-aggression pact
and an economic treaty, but whether
we could count on raw materials
from Russia would depend on a va
| riety of factors. Russia is going to
| get all the advantages she can for
herself out of the present situation"
Counts on Rumania.
asked about Rumania and Hun
gary. The marshal's face lighted:
"Rumania is our ally, our friend
ship with Hungary is historic. l do
| not believe she would allow German
| troops to attack us over her from
tier. I do not think she would take
part in a war against us"
In conclusion, asked: Has not
Polands stand had a heartening
effect on the small countries anxiou;
to preserve their independence"
I'VE have every reason to think so, f.
the marshal answered. We will, in
any event, even without allies, fgh;
to preserve our own independence.
So Poland stands a heroic figure
against the might of the German
war machine. Marshal Smigly-
Rydz, with united Poland behind
him, may well have saved the peace
of the world Poland, small and
poor. has dared what the grea,
democracies feared to do. History
may well record that Poland's stand
