Dodging the Issue

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Germany answers the United States announce rnent that it will recognize the transfer of ter ritory in the Western Hemisphere from one non- American power to another with the usual sophistry and by avoidance of the main issue. It prompts Secretary Hull to comment that mo useful purpose will be served for this government to undertake any further communication Con this subjecD to the government of the Reich"
 Like the hit bird Berlin flutters. It declares it has given indication of any desire to interfere in the Western Hemisphere and it sees no reason why the hands off" warning should have been ad- dressed to it. There are however, several pertinent reasons which the Wilhelmstrasse chooses to ignore
 There is the danger now that France is con- quered that the victor will lay claim to French colo nieS this side of the Atlantic. There is the we'll established fact that the German government does not proceed along normal lines Disruption of its European victims brought about by agents spies and saboteurs. These people are found through out the Americas, trying to undermine established governments The plot exposed in Uruguay furnishes but the latest of many examples. The Berlin gov- ernment did interfere there, warning Montevideo not to moes the Germans in their sacred right to agtae against the established order This of would be called protecting ones nationals by the Nazis.
 Ominous is the German assertion that the Mon roe Doctrine is valid only if the Americas do not interfere in European affairs. This is customary National Socialist reasoning. No American nation nfames it's expatriate citizens against the govern ments under which they live abroad No American embassy legation is the center of subversive pro- paganda against the nation to which it is accredited The Nazis cannot say much.
 There abundant why the warning was sent to Germany, well other countries. But Berlin does not recognize them reasons Hull is right When issues dodged by the juggling of words communications become valueless.

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline
 but do not compel"
SATURDAY, JULY 20

Adverse aspects dominate today. It is time for careful procedure in all important matters. Labor is subject to disrupting planetary influences which will retard indus try. Agents of hostile Governments will be active in fomenting serious trouble.
 Heart and Home: While this is favorable day for starting on journey, danger of accidents is forecast. It is a lucky date for any travel by water transportation. In the family too many minds may be evident whenever a decision is to be made. The stars presage an- xieties for parents who will dis agree with the modern ideas of their children. Training for public service is enjoined by the seers who urge girls to study nursing and boys to enter camps where military tactics are taught.
 Business Affairs: Importations from South America will increase Fashions will offer modes popular in the capitals of Brazil, Peru and the Argentine. In the United States prosperity will encourage spending with little thought of the morrow when financial crises affecting the world will be felt in this country Gayety will be sought in the effort to forget the horrors of war. Color ful notes will be introduced in home furnishing and summer att tire.
 National Issues: AS the old civili- Zation is shattered and many of it's precious possessions are de- stroyed, precedents in the United States will be ignored in business and politics Adjustments must be made to fit a new order of things and the United States is to set the example of living up to the fullest meanings of democracy. Edu- cation is to meet changed needs of the people; hands as well as heads will receive earnest attention. International Affairs: Espionage is to reach such scientific efficiency that secret service agents will achieve success along many lines of Governmental activity Diplo- mats, statesmen, Army and Naval officers will be betrayed by emis- Saries of hostile nations. Secret agencies in the United States will be camouflaged as religious or phil anthropic organizations while sub versive teachings honeycomb schools and college. A prominent American woman is to be detected in a grave plot. Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of per- plexitieS. Quarrels with friends or relatives may be serious. The young will court and marry.
 Children may have strong ar tistic bent and should be wisely educated.

RUMORS OF PEACE

During these days of comparative inactivity while Germany and England gird for and greater struggle it is not surprising hear recurring of a negotiated peace Undoubtedly there is some foundation for those rumors in the sense that there both sides and in neutral countries who talking of peace terms and seeking to bring about settlement But there is to believe that these speaking for the beligerent gov etnmentS.
 It would be visionary to expect peace overture from Germany Hitler has taken tremendous risks and has every time. Yet all that he has gained for the Reich would become meaningless if he should fail to Great Britain Its power could destroy the gigantic continental bloc which Hitler has built That power will destroy the Reich unless Germany military power first achieves victory over England.
 Similarly the British have genuine motive for seeking a negotiated peace except as they con clude that they have chance whatever to survive a German onslaught To negotiate with Hitler tn, British fully realize, is to surrender to Hitler No public figure in England dares to suggest openly that appeasement would be tolerable
 The British be expected to carry on the fight, with than the half-hearted and reluctant help they are getting from America, SC long they any possible prospect of final sue cess This is credible because they have seen time and time again on the Continent the awful fate which awaits any people, once it bows in submission to the new scourge of civilization which is National Socialism,

"THE NEW ORDER"

The German announcement that Belgians Twill be allowed to work" in Germany and send home two thirds of their pay is further token of the develop ment of a slave state in Europe under Nazi rule It illustrates graphically, that the European war is not in the manner known in recent centuries, but conquest of the type which prevailed during the early era of civilization. The similarity is complete incidentally down to the point of trumphal entry of the conquered territory.

Peace AT CelarleSe

Our front page editorial OF last issue cap
toned Peace at Celanese asked for express
sions of opinion from those who are interested.
We are glad to have received many such
expressions. They are too numerous TO print
in one issue All came from workingmcn. with
the exception of one from a prominent local
businessman who asked that his letter should
not be published under his name. However.
only print signed communications We
will commence with this issue to print these
letters
We intend from time to time. within the
lifetime OF the present agreement between
Celanese Local 874 and the management, to
keep bringing up the important topic.
To those who may have missed the las, issue
repeat that the essential proposal is to re-
quire management and union to refer to i'm
partial arbitration the points upon which it
cannot agree PRIOR to the expiry Of the con
tract.
We recounted the tremendous suffering
which shut down caused and emphasized
that the suffering falls heaviest upon the work
ers and union members and less severely upon
all the community
So this issue marks the start Of long cam
paign to enlist public and community support
for adoption of the principle of arbtratng
those points which the management and union
fail to agree upon.
We hope that the workers interest in this
question will continue to be shown by THEN
signed letters. 1t is also desirable for the
business interests to express themselves NOW
and not leave their protests at work stoppages
until they have actually occurred
For those who are really interested in
achieving peace at Celanese, NOW is the
time to make efforts for creation of work.

Will WiIIkie Duck:

Word comes that candidate Willkie will
make an address in Cumberland next We'd
nesday. October 30th At this time it is not
certain whether it will be brief talk from the
rear OF the train or a regular meeting.
In several of his appearances to date Can
didate Willkie has properly hit out at the
mayors of certain Democratic controlled cities
for their denial of civil liberties and their
Tupt gambling situations.
Willkie has been very emphatic on these
occasions, going so far as to describe some OF
them as peanut Hitler s. and other deserved
names.
Well. Wendell is coming to Cumberland
next Wednesday. We are wondering il he is
going to blast the local powers who defy the
United States Supreme Courts decision on
handful ordinances and has in effect an illegal
an,i-picketing ordinance.
We wonder If Candidate Wkic has ever
heard of the brazen gang of gambling rack
eteers who ply their trade here without ef
fective interference.
We are sending copies OF this editorial to
the Willkie travelling headquarters. together
with some back copies which will enlIghten
them. We are sending copies to the COM
mittee in charge of arrangements for Wilkes
visit here.
OF course. it is quite possible that Candi-
date Willkie will learn that the Cumberland
mayor is a Republican.
And learning it. it is quite possible that Can
didase Willkie will very carefully refrain from
hitting out at the Cumberland brand OF pea
nut Filters whose saving grace will be that
they are Republicans
Let us see If Wilke will duck the question
OF civil liberties when he comes to Cumber-
landa.

Willkie and Facts

Willkie has been outstanding. for his dis
regard of fact in his campaign statements. One
of his most reprehensibe actions is his effort
to create fear in the minds of life insurance
policy holders 1t has gone so far that the in
surance companies themselves have had to
take hand
The real facts are that the life insurance
companies are in better financial shape than
ever in their history and that under the New
Deal the policy holders have greater measure
of protection than ever before. Let US have
an end to this baloney which Willkie dishes
out SO irresponsbly.

That Kelly Plant

What is wrong with the management at the
local Kelly tire plantl Do they think they are
the advance guards of Hitler or are they taking
lessons from the bad example set by the die
tatorial members OF the Cumberland City
Council9
Our news columns report that the plant
management has posted notices torbdding
the distribution of any literature within the
plant unless their permission is first given.
a couple Of weeks ago the Courts ruled that
Henry Ford had right to distribute his anti
union trades to the workers in his sweat shops.
The employers had been blcating that their
rights were being taken from them BY the
National Labor Relations Board. Now. here
in Cumberland the Kelly management has the
gall to put its illegal decree in writing.
1t is significant that the ''rule" comes
at time when the local union of rubber
workers are putting out campaign litera-
ture for the reelection of President Roose-
welt, whom they have endorsed. 1t is also
an effort to suppress the local unions
mirneographed Rubber Worker" which
has been hitting hard at the companys
labor policies and speed-up system.
1t is quite probable that the management
believes that because the City of Cumberland
is making an ineffective gesture to defy the
United States Supreme Court with an ega!
literature ordinance. that they. too, can kid
their workers.
We predc, that the companys rule" will
be ignored as thoroughly as is the City OF
Cumberland ordinance. We wonder what the
management will do if an employee violates
the rule?
May we remind them that the Wagner Act i.
still in force and effect May we also recall
that the arrangements last violation of the
Wagner Act cost them tidy amount o.
money. Surely they can learn their lesson9
From the expressions made by the mem
bers Of Local 20. United Rubber Workers O
America it seems that the companys rule i
going to be ignored. These workers know
that they are still living in the United State
of America and that there are legal recourse
against the onslaughts OF bunch OF small tim,
would be Hitlers.
