I'VE have great army in process

"and We hope and indeed we are
duty bound progressively to take a
bigger and bigger portion of the war
on land from the shoulders of our
allies, the French, who in the early
days of the war had to bear such a
very great part of this burden"
Mr.. Stanley said that British
troops in France today were ap-
proximately double the number in
October and he added that every
tiav sees an increase"
st October Leslie Hore- -Belisha.
then war secretary, said Britain
had $4,000 men in France. Mr..
Stanley's statement would mean
there are about $4,000 British troops
on the continent now.
Mr.. Stanley said that the decision
to equip an army on the present
scale for continental warfare was
taken only year ago and the prep
aration of the army had been done
in much shorter time than was the
case with other aspects of national
defense.
The House cheered as Mr.. Stanley
emphasized the close ties with the
French.
I'm the last war we were allies, ~
he said. I'm this war we are
friends"
The war secretary said nearly
100000 Britons had enlisted as VOL

began. This is in addition to some
100000 men enrolled for compul-

Need Of Blockade
Explained by Allied
Economic Experts
Representatives Here
To Reach U. S.
Understanding
By GARNETT ID. HORNER.


Great Britain and France hope
to smooth out some Of the difficult
ties that have arisen with this coun-
try IN connection with their eco
nomic warfare against Germany, but
cannot afford to relax any measures
considered vital to their blockade Of
Germany, two allied economic ex-
perts explained here today.
The allied position was outlined
at press conference by Frank ASH
ton -GWatkin, an adviser to the Brit
ish ministry of economic warfare,
and Charles Rist, former deputy
governor of the Bank of France, who
are here on a special mission OF
reconciliation and explanation.
Mr.. Ashton -GWatkin and Mr.. Rist
have been comforting with Govern
ment officials here for several days
on points of friction that have de-
veloped in connection with the Allied
blockade, including censorship OF
American mails, blocking of German
exports to the United States and
the forcing of American ships into
Allied ports for cargo examination.
Explains Position.
1--WE wish to remove such difficult
ties wherever it may be possible" ,"
Mr.. Rist said, land where it is not
possible. to explain the reasons.
1T must be remembered that
Great Britain and France are fight
ing for their lives against formi-
dable enemy. We believe we are
fighting not only for our own lives
but for the whole future of Western
civilization.
I'VE cannot afford to take risks
or in any way to hamper the efficacy
of our contraband control which is
very important part of our effort
to defend ourselves and to win the
war"
"At the same time" he added.
I'VE have no desire to cause un-
necessary inconvenience and loss to
neutral countries
Mr.. Ashton-Gwatkin explained
that it would be difficult for the
allies to give way or relax any of
| their blockade measures that would
involve weakening their position in
attempting to cut off Germany from
all trade. However, he said. there
are numerous questions involving
detailed methods not absolutely
necessary to the allied program
which might be settled to remove
annoyances to American and other
neutral trade.
Tells Aim of Blockade.
Mr.. Ashton-Gwatkin explained
that the aim of the German export
blockade was to prevent Germany
from securing dollar exchange from
sales of her products abroad with
which she might purchase vital raw
materials elsewhere. He indicated
that the only way in which exports
from Germany would be permitted
through the Allied blockade would
be for the Germans to wait for pay
ment until after the war
The question of American exports
to Great Britain and France of
such so-called luxury products as
tobacco and fruit. which have been
restricted to conserve allied eX-
chance for purchase of war ma
terials, is included in the discussions
going on here, but no settlement
has been reached as yet, Mr.. Ash
ton -GWatkin said

the bench who issued the warrant
for his return.
Mr.. O'Connell had the witness
read sentence from the judges or
der which said Mr.. Pelley's extradi-

WHEN BANNING is GOOD

That vulgar, barrel-organ song about
the WPA ("Sleep while you work
while you rest, while you play, lean on
your shovel to pass time away'') is no
longer to be recorded, owing to the de-
cision Of the New York Local of the
American Federation of Musicians to
condemn it. For long time this rec
ord has insulted colored and white
workers, when unemployment, created
by the depression, has compelled to
work on the projects initiated in the
early years of the Roosevelt admins
tration, to provide the jobs which pri-
vate industry could not furnish.
Unthinking hearers often made
merry over this anti-labor song
crooned or "stomped" by various iazz
and swing orchestras. However, il
played a despicable role in encourag-
ing opposition to progressive social
legislation, and therefore its banning
which Is for the best interests of the
American common people, was long
overdue. Good riddance
