Critical Talk by Lewis
BY the Associated Press.

ST. LOUIS, July 31-Labor stand
ards will not be lowered or" social
gains impaired as a result of the
national preparedness program,
Sidney Hillman, C. l. o. vice presi-
dent and representative of labor on
the Defense Commission, told the
convention of the United Automobile
Workers of America today
Some say that the beneficial
legislation which has been enacted
during the past seven years. such as
the Wagner Act. the Fair Labor
Standards Act, the Walsh -Healey
Act, will interfere substantially with
the accomplishment Of the program
of national defense" he said.
They urge, therefore. unlimited
hours of labor and the relaxation
of those protective measures for
which labor struggled for so long.
Il wish to state as emphatically
as I can that there is absolutely no
basis for that position"
All agencies of the Government
are observing existing labor legis-
lation. he reported
Follows Critical Talk by Lewis.
Mr.. Hillman's address came after
a critical talk on the defense pro-
gram by John L. Lewis, president
of the c. I. o.
In his speech yesterday, Mr.. Lewis
censured the Government for giving
business to concerns which deny
the rights of labor" denounced
pending legislation for military con-
scription as threat to democracy,
minimized the effect of the national
defense program on unemployment
and warned against "a war state of
mind"
Using Hitler's Methods?
II wonder" he said, "if in our
zeal to protect our country from the
shadow of Hitler, we are not using
some of Hitler's methods which, in
the end, will circumscribe our civil
liberties. ="
Saying unemployment "still is the
major domestic question that con-
Aioulo C1llo AdtlOll, Ml. Lewis Oc.
clared:
"One Of the great party platforms
recently came out and said that they
would call a conference, a national
conference on unemployment. It
took them three years to reach that
decision, and I suppose that when
the convention is called labor may
be told that the unemployment
situation is not now so pressing,
because We are going to use every
body to make guns.
Another Slump Likely.
"Our economists and statisticians
advise, after thorough research,
that the maximum amount of re-
employment that may come from
the expenditure of $4,000, O,O0O, 900
for national defense at the high
peak in the program, which will
not be reached for some two or
three years, will be the re-employ-
ment of 100000 men,"
Peace may come to Europe and
the Far East long before that, he
asserted, predicting that the "eco-
nomic impact" may throw our en-
tire internal economy into reverse
again"

| Oxonions to Miss
Lord Lothion's
| Dinner Sessions

The easy-going, democratic ways
Of the late Lord Lothian endeared
him to many Americans.
Typical of his attitude was the
way he entertained former students
of oxford at the big. imposing En-
bassy whose formality his presence
did much to mitigate.
A graduate of New College, OK
ford. he had much in common with
the $50 Americans in this area who
had attended the university. Dur
ing a little more than year in
Washington, Lord Lothian had the
whole group to dinner several times.
You can be sure We looked for
ward to these occasions" said F.
Regis Noel, former president Of the
District Bar Association and an Ok
ford graduate in 1918. He used to
tell our oxford Society to fix its own
date and issue the invitations in his
name
After dinner We held informal
sessions about big fireplace. Lord
Lothian would kick of his pumps
before the fire and relax to talk
things over He was not only a
good talker but good listener. He
seemed to enjoy these get-togethers
and he had much in common with
the younger crowd, although he
himself graduated from New College
years earlier.
To many of us he seemed more
like an Australian. a New Zealander,
than a titled Englishman.
He will be greatly missed in the
United States"

continue the war at full strength.
I'VE think that this is a situa-
ton which concerns you almost as
much as it concerns US. 1t has long
been clear that your security no
less than ours depends upon our
holding the Atlantic impregnably
and you the Pacific So long as
this is so the way of life TO which
We are attached can continue and
our free economic system can re-
siSt totalitarian attack But if one
of those two navieS fails the unity

axis powers and those controlling
bastions of sea power which now
keep war away from America. be-
come the jumping OF points from
which it can be menaced.
Issue Declared Up to Us.
Concluding, the Ambassador re-
peated that the people of America
must make their own decision on
whether you share our hopes and
what support you will give US in
realizing them.
I'VE are. I believe, doing all We
can Since May there is no chal-
lenge we have evaded. no challenge
refusd. If you back us YOU will
not be backing a gutter. The issue
now depends largely on what you
decide to do. Nobody can share
that responsibility with you. 1t is
the great strength of democracy
that is brings responsibility down
souarely to every citizen and every
nation. And before the judgment
seat of God each must answer for
his own actions
If Lord Lothian in this appeal
had outright naval assistance such
as fighting conveys in mind. the
Associated Press reported that a
consensus of private views on Cap
itol Hill reflected potential bitter
controversy.
Encouragement for more limited
help at sea was indicated. however,
in a conversation by Senator Austin
of Vermont, acting Republican
leader, with newsmen.
Remarking that he believed the
United States should grant credits
TO Britain and revise the Neu-

could carry cargoes to England,

Everyone will want to hear these

today that the Treasury would con.

policy, Mr.. Morgenthau said at

Irrespective Of any interpreta-
tions any lawyers might give (of the
the Treasury's powers to lend money
without the specific consent of Con-
gressJ, I certainly would not be
party to any loan to Great Britain
or any other country coming under

ton of Congress
Mr.. Jones had first publicly de-
clared the policy Of congressional
consent at a press conference yes
terday.
Not Interested in Technicalities
Mr. Morgenthau said the johnson
Act, which forbids loans 10 nations
in default on World War debts,
might contain some loophole per-
mitting Government loans while
prohibiting those of private interests.
But. the Treasury Secretary added,

sador to Washington. Sir Ronald
Lindsey, the dean of the diplomatic
corps here, would stay until the sum-
mer so that he might welcome the
King and Queen of England, who
planned to visit North America in
June.
Less than three months after Sir
Ronald and Lady Lindsay enter
tanned their majesties at the En-
bassy on Massachusetts, avenue, Lord
Lothian arrived.
Since then he has made more pub
lie appearances than any British
Ambassador for years. He has given
speech after speech, explaining IN
earnest, never superior, terms the
British position as he saw 1t. or, as
he expressed it, the way his govern
ment saw it.
Sometimes he was almost blunt
On November % he returned to the
United States from visit IN Eng
land-his first since he assumed his
post here-and said on arrival that
England would soon be in need OF
American credits. Some persons
thought he was too blunt in this
and it was discussed as the one time
in which he had come closer to be-
ing guilty of diplomatic gauche
Lord Lothian interviewed Hitler
in 1885, and was impressed, report
ing in London that the German
Fuehrer had prophetic vision In
1898 he was pressing the cause OF
Clarence STREET. Hitler had con-
vinced Lord Lothian that Hitler
was peace-lover Events taught
Lord Lothian his error.
In all his visits to the United
States Lord Lothian was struck by
what he considered a general
abysmal ignorance of England. He
thought that whatever antipathy
toward England existed here was
traceable to that fact.
Opposed Official Propaganda.
Precise information about Eng
land and not English propaganda
was what was needed TO improve the
American attitude toward his coun-
try, he thought. On this thought
he proceeded as Ambassador. He
urged the Foreign Once not to send
propaganda from London. He
advised that ofiicial speech-makers
who wished to make tours of Amer
lea, sounding the bell for England,
should best be kept at home.
Early in the fatetul year of 1899
Lord Lothian Travelled to Australia
by way of the United States. In
March ne wrote a series of articles
in the London Observer which pro-
vided TO all In England not only
a point of view about the United
States-for England is in the main
as ignorant of this country as this
country is of England-but also the
realization that Lord Lothian was
one of England's most acute ap-
praisers of this country.
At the British Embassy he not
only worked day and night at the
fine business of diplomacy, but he
presided over a very large staff. No
embassy in washington history has
had so many workers as the British.

tional defense. It would be folly
to withhold credit when 1t would do
the most good in our defense against
Hitler and in keeping war away from
this country
He added that the administration
should act promptly and should ask
no collateral.
Describing the cash-and-carry
Neutrality Act as "a futility" the
Vermont Senator said he was ready
at any moment to revise the Neu-
trality Act TO remove hindrances
to commerce and permit our nation
ais to use ships On the open sea-"
Americans. Senator Austin de-
clared, should be permitted to take
their chances in shipping to Great
Britain and other belligerents as
they would be within their rights as
neutrals.
