One influential paper, Hochi, pre-
dicted the Canadian agreement was
forerunner of a similar American

offset to future collaboration be-

The newspaper Yomiuri said the
Canadian pact was proof that the
United States no longer doubts that
Britain will be defeated and, there
fore, is taking measures to meet the
consequences" of that defeat.

continued, intends to take over the
remaining influence of Britain in

Women in. Industry

One of the biggest jobs for future
years with the defense program
crowding many ordinarily important
things clear out of the picture, is the
maintenance of standards for women
workers, in the face of defense neces-
sites, which will grow greater instead
of less as months pass.
The Women's Bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor, has formed an adj
visory committee to help in this ex-
tremely important task.
How far Women's Bureau may have
to clash with civilian welfare divi-
sion of Defense Advisory Commission
remains to be seen, but the advance
indications of close cooperation are
none too encouraging. Clash over au-
thority is deemed likely, and unless
someone gives way or learns to COM
promise, there is a chance that the
welfare of women, as expressed in
their working conditions, hours, ETC.,
may get at least mislaid in the battle
one of the first casualties of get
ting ready for war.
