states-Latvia and EStonia today.
Observers wondered whether the
movement was defensive-inSpired
by observation of the striking pow

whether Russia would yet play a
more active role in the European
war.
France came to the end of the
war after nightmarish hours.
Everywhere German columns were
slashing across her fair fields, shat
tering military lines beyond repair,
One column dashed to the Swiss
frontier. Others made a shambles
of the now almost vacant Maginot
line forts. Units slaShed across the
Loirc-the last strategic line on
which France might have stood
and captured Orleans, sacred to the
memory of Joan of Arc.
German bombers were every
where. They blasted the retreating
fragments of the French army and
poured tons of high explosive on
refugee packed Tours where the
French government first fled on
abandoning Paris.
Meantime, in Bordeaux the tate
full decision was being made.
All day yesterday conference fol-

Reynaud gave the cabinet President
Roosevers' pledge of "redoubled
aid" so long as France resisted
reply to Reynaud's final appeal

not enough. Reynaud obtained final
commitments from Prime Minister
Winston Churchill-may even have
met the British leader on French
soil. This, too, was of no avail. Rey-

Prospects of peace, and the haz-
ards of the fighting Firms, seem to
hold Americas chief interest in the
Old World with the advent of the
new year-which is quite natural,
since these also are the paramount
questions for Europe itself.
This interest will be spurred by
the developments of the moment
today's report that Finnish ski pa
trolls in the Salla sector are threat
ening to surround Red division of
$4,000 troops; Finnish President
Kallio's appeal for active foreign
assistance at the front, and the
proclamation of King George of
England, calling two million more
youths to the colors, creating a po-
tential army of 3,500O00.
Can peace come this year? 1t
can, but observers having admitted
this as a possibility, generally de-
cline to prophesy. No man can
foresee the events of the next II
months, or the next two, for that
matter. The best any one can do is
record possibilities. Most observers
incline to the belief that we have
many hard days between us and
peace.
One real encouragement lies in
videspread peace efforts which

who are cooperating in this task. It
would be difficult to overestimate
the Importance Of such an applica-
ton of moral force.
War May Come With Spring.
One probably would be too opti-
mistic to expect peace before Eu-
rope has felt the shock of heavy
fighting and bloodshed, and the
pinch of harsh privation. But those
terrors may come with the spring,
when winter raises it's barriers.
Already Germany is threatening
a terrific air offensive against Eng
land, and it wouldn't be surprising
if this were employed in an effort
to smash the allied blockade. which
has cut Germany's vital imports
dangerously. Neutral observers say
that unless the blockade is broken
in one way or another, Germany's
resources won't stand the strain.
That would mean collapse, as in
1918.
The blockade has stopped virtual
ly all seaborne supplies excepting
those coming to Germany from
Scandinavia. Russia has delivered
very little. Within the past few
days snowstorms and the freezing
of the Danubian waterway have re-
duced the flow of goods from the
Balkans to almost nothing.
However, it should be noted that
Germany has reserve supplies. The

real pressure won't be felt until
hard fighting begins and rapidly ex-
hausts those reserves.
Firms Need Real Help.
Meantime how goes the fight with
Finland? Well, the amazing Firms
have pulled more rabbits out of the
hat than any magician ever saw in
his widest dreams. However, it
would be expecting too much to ask
them to continue to do the hat trick
Indefinitely on their own slender
resources. especially since the Com
munists are sending 100000 picked
troops to try to turn the tide. Presi-
dent Kallio's appeal for aid empha-
sizes that point.
The Firms might stand the Reds
of so long as winter fights vigor-
ously for the defenders. The ulti-
mate result, however, depends on
how much outside help, both in ma
terials and men, is rushed to the
Firms. The Anglo-French allies,
and other European countries, in
cluding Norway and Sweden, can
help beat of the invasion If they
act quickly.
Win or. lose, the Firms have bro
ken the mesmeric spell under which
mysterious Moscow held most of
the states of Europe. Russia is no
longer so mysterious, and the vast
army which sprang up overnight
from dragons teeth is less feared
with each passing day.
A month ago Russia held the
balance of power in Europe. To-day
it looks as though the whole setup
of nations is changing with the

Election Is Ordered
On Bargaining Control
In Dry Docks Unions
Labor Bourd Members
Each File Separate
Opinion in Case

With separate opinions filed by
each of the three members of the
National Labor Relations Board on
conditions surrounding union &C
tivity at the strife-torn Todd-John-
son Dry Docks, Inc, in New Orleans,
an employe election by secret ballot
was ordered today to determine
whether the c. I. O., the A. F of L.
or neither shall control the bar
gaining.
Chairman J. Warren Madden dis
sented, in part, from the majority
board decision ordering the election.
The other two members, agreeing
to the election. wrote separate
opinions on their findings of fact.
The question is whether the dock
employees are to be represented by
the Industrial Union of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers of America,
an affiliate of the Congress OF In
dustrial Organizations: the Metal
Trades Council of New Orleans,
allied with the American Federation
of Labor, or by neither.
Metal Council Certified.
On September 16, 1887, the re-
gional director of the Labor Board
certified the Metal Trades Council
as the exclusive bargaining agency.
This was based on a check showing
a majority of employees had au-
thorized the A. F. of L. organi-
zation to represent them. After
this union had negotiated an agree
ment with the company, a claim to
bargaining rights was filed by the
Industrial Union of Marine and
Shipbuilding Workers. Interunion
strife followed and the plant was
closed from April 81 to May 13,
1898.
The C. I. o. union seeks single
bargaining agency for the whole
plant, with the exception of clerical
and supervisory employees, while the
A. F. of l.. affiliate now wants the
employees divided among 18 units.
The board held that single unit
for the yard is an appropriate bar
gaining agency under the circum-
stances and ordered the election to
determine which union, if either,
the employees desire.
Dissenting Opinion.
Chairman Madden, in his dissent
ing opinion. said he was unable to
concur in that part of the decision
which finds the yard unit to be
appropriate for collective bargain
ing He felt, he said, that the con-
flict between craft and industrial
unions should be settled by permit
ting groups of employees to vote sep
arately to determine whether they
are to be in separate union or to
be merged with other employees in
broader unit.
