Ciudad Trujillo, Dominican Re-
public, Aug. 29.-Citizens Of the
Dominican Republic incur the dis
pleasure of their 10-year benefactor
and virtual dictator, Generalissimo
DR.. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo Mo-
lima, if they even discuss the Euro
pean war.
This surprising decree has been
issued in Ciudad Trujillo, capital
of this Caribbean doorstep neigh
Dor of Uncle Sam. 1t applies to
members of the generalissimo's
party, only legalized political group
in the nation, enrolling 374,0O0 Of
the 100000 eligible voters.
I asked party director Paino
Pichardo for an explanation Of this
move. He replied:
MY immediate chief and our
great benefactor, the generals
simo, is an ardent advocate Of
Pan-Americanism and friend of
the United States. He does not
wish to have his job made more
difficult at this time by those who
hold sentiments at variance with
the declared policy and interests
of the country. The Dominican
Republic will follow the lead Of
Washington in it's foreign policy.
cit is not true that a law has
been passed forbidding everybody
to discuss the war, but an agree
ment has been reached by the
party to this effect"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-08-29

Generalissimo Trujillo calls thu
tunes here, and his party direct,
policy with high hand.
Now 40, Trujillo advanced
through the army, became presi-
dent of the republic in 1880.
He was reelected in 1884 and
two years later the national con-
gress changed the nmae of the
capital from Santo Domingo to
Ciudad Trujillo in his honor.
He. is no longer president, but
he's still boss. A hard worker and
an able administrator, he believes
in Suppressing opposition severely.
Like certain other modern die
tators. he prides himself on eating
and drinking sparingly. He does
not smoke. He describes himself
as a soldier by profession, a
farmer by preference and a
breeder of fine cattle by avocation.
A lover of peace, the general
issimo nevertheless believes in the
virtues of military discipline for
Joutll d4lQ tIlS WISOOul Vi lOIlR-
range preparedness.
The Dominican Republic has a
standing army of about 1000 men,
reasonably well equipped and
modernized since its organization
in 1880.
The navy is made up of one
military transport of $500 tons and
several coast guard vessels with
anti-aircraft equipment.
The air force comprises about

by the War Department with the
Ford Motor Co.. the controversy in
volved Sidney Hillman of the De-
fense Commission on one side and
War Department spokesmen on the
other, the former charging the con-
tract lacked protecting features for
Ford labor, while the department
claimed it contained customary labor
clauses.
At the heart of the controversy
the first clear-cut test yet to be made
of the apparently conflicting views
of various officials, was a Labor
Board decision against Ford under
the Wagner Act.
Carried into the courts, this deci-
sion was partly upheld and partly
rejected by the Sixth Circuit Court
of Appeals in october. The case
has not yet been settled by the
Supreme Court.
Board Partly Upheld in Court.
The appellate court granted the
Labor Board an order requiring that
the Ford Co. cease alleged interfer-
ence with its employees right of COL
lecttve bargaining but refused to re-
quire enforcement of a board order
that the company stop distributing
to workers a pamphlet giving its
views on unions.
Mr.. Hillman generally has taken
the position that Labor Board de-
cision on alleged Wagner Act viola
tions should be accepted as final and

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. Dec. IA
The first meeting in II years be-

Duke Of Windsor may have paved
the way for the former British King

have contended that a final court
ruling should be awaited in con-
tested cases.
In the Ford case, War Department
officials said the company had been
directed to start work on the order,
pending final signing Of the con-
tract. The order was for 1,500
midget scout cars and number of
other automobiles. But Mr.. Brand
wen, aide to Mr.. Hillman, said the
labor division of the Defense Com
mission did not want the Govern
ment to go through with the con-
tract.
Echoed in Capital.
On Capitol Hill there has been
frequent debate over progress Of the
defense program, centering most
often perhaps on the issue Of labor
relations in the defense industries.
Wednesday, for instance, Repre-
sentative Ford, Republican, of Cali
fornia singled out the C. I. o. as at
tempting to destroy the Government
and the defense program, suggest
ing finally that "every one Of them
who is spreading this dissension
should be places in concentration
camp"
An attack by Mr.. Ford on Mr..
Hillman was answered on the House
floor by Representative Voorhis,
Democrat, of California.
On the same day, Representative
Taber, Republican, of New York told
the House that labor shortages were
being caused by the charging Of
exorbitant fees by unions against
men seeking employment.
Further light on the whole sub
ject of the defense programs prog
ress may be given late today when

Complaisance Called Worst Foe.
In Philadelphia last night Mr..
Patterson said if the United States
were given sufficient time to train
its conscription army it could win
any war without fighting, for only
an insane despot would thing of at
tacking U.S."
"Complaisance," said Mr.. Patter-
son, "is the only foe the people Of
the United States have to fear"
The one hope left to the enemies
Of democracy, he said, was that
America may yet fail to evaluate
the gravity of her situation"
In an interview after his lecture,
Mr.. Patterson predicted far-reach-
ing changes would be made in the
draft law. He did not elaborate.
