Commerce called a meeting for
tomorrow to consider an appeal to
the United States government for
forced emergency reduction in
steamship rates as means OF
speeding evacuation of Americans
in China in view of a threatened
Far Eastern crisis.
Some Americans believed an ap-
peal for lower rates, both for pas
sengers and freight, was advisable
especially for families in low in
come groups.
1t was estimated that at present
rates it would cost the average
family about $1,000 to send house
hold goods alone to the United
States, ard steamship fare is be-
tween $3.50 and $500 for each men,

Hub Of Struggle
For African Power
BY UNITED PRESS

A struggle was imminent Thurs
day between French West and Equa-
torial Africa, embracing one-fourth
the dark continent, over conflict
ing loyalties to the warning nations
of Europe.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader
Of the Free France faction allied
with Great Britain, landed at Qua
la. on the CAMERON coast to con-
solidate his hold on Equatorial Af-
RIGA. All this region of 100000
square miles and 100000 people,
comprised of the Cameroons, French
and Belgian Congo the Lake Chad,
Oubangi and Chari districts, had de-
clared allegiance to him except for
a small part of the Gabon area.
Gen. Maxine Weygand, once gen.
eralissimo of the allied French and
British armies, arrived in French
West Africa to hold that region
for the Vichy government, which
has capitulated to Germany. French
West Africa embraces 100000
square miles and has a population
of 100000.
Weygand's forces held the three
important West African ports: Da-
kar, where combined Free French
British landing force was repulsed
two weeks ago: Libreville and Port
Gentil British warships welv block
aiding all three.
An announcement of the French
admiralty indicated that hostilitiea
had begun. 1t said the French sub
marine Ajax had been sunk, its
crew rescued and taken to Freetown
Sierra Leone. a British colony in
West Africa. 1t was not announced
how the Ajax was sunk but the
French admiralty said its infor-
nation came from the British ad-
miralty.
De Gaulle was believed preparing
for an attempt to lure West Africa
to the Free France side. His efforts
were expected to be directed at Da-
honey and the French Ivory coast
where Free France sentiment wa:
reported strong.
In the region under Weygand's
command were also Tunisia, Al
geria, Morocco Mauretania, Sene
gal, Guinea, Togo and the Nige
territory.

women stopped working to wave

As Europe Awaits
Expecfed Address

PADUA, italy, Oct. 10. CUP)-
Premier Benito Mussolini reviewed
10000 Fascist youths and units of
his crack army of the Po today
without making the speech all Eu-
rope had expected.
In the presence of the diplomatic
ENJOYS and military attaches of
Germany. Japan, Spain, Hungary,
Rumania and Bulgaria, and youth
delegations from all these countries
but Japan, Mussolini stood in the
reviewing stand in the Corso Carl
baldi and took the salute from his
Fascist youth, led by visiting dele
cations of youths from the other
nations.
To the disappointment of those
here, and to those in other ma
tiGns who had expected him to make
an important pronouncement on the
results of his recent talk with Adolf
Hitler, Mussolini left the stand
without speaking.
The setting was one suitable for
dramatic pronouncement. Musso-
lini had spent all week reviewing
units of the army of the Pc, the
big italian army, and it was with
some surprise that some italians
learned that it was still in italy
and not as they had thought in
Africa.
Mussolini had approached the
Jugoslav frontier and some newspa-
pers at the same time had criticized
Jugoslavia for alleged delay in
adapting itself to the new Eu-

influence of all of it's forty-five af-

The League gave full support to
delegates sponsoring a consitu-

fore the resolutions committee of
the organization at its quadrennial
convention in Cleveland, Ohio. A
favorable vote was expected from
the general membership of the
union if the committee could be
prevailed upon to report the mea-
sure favorably.
Similar resolutions have been
before the union on a number of
previous occasions, but have never
been able to secure appreciable
delegate support. This year, the
situation is changed Many dele
gates contend that it is impossible
to obtain close-shop contracts in
plants which employ Negroes be-
cause of the color line that the I.
A. M. has drawn for fifty-two
years. Others maintain that they
face an insurmountable barrier in
attempting to organize plants that
employ Negroes because c. I. o.
unions will admit them to MEM
bership.
