U. 5. Rights Violated
By Nazi Breach Of
Pacts, Jackson Says
Ample Bosis Is Provided,
He Holds, for American
Discriminatory Action
BY the Associated Press.

HAVANA, March 27.-Attorney
General Jackson declared today that
"the governments of Germany, Italy
and Japan violated a right and af-
fected the interests of the United
States" when they resorted to war in
violation of their treaty obligations.
AS a consequence, he asserted in
an address prepared for the Inter-
American Bar Association Confer
ence, modern international law pro-
vided his country with ample and
practically unlimited basis for dis
criminatory action" by aiding the
countries they have attacked.
Mr.. Jacksons speech was read by
George S. Messersmith, United
States Ambassador to Cuba, who ex-
planned that rougn weather had pre-
vented the Attorney Generals pro-
jected flight to Havana from the
presidential yacht Potomac. Mr..
jackson is cruising with President
Roosevelt.
All Concepts Destroyed.
Events since the World War, Mr..
Jackson said, have rejected the fic-
tions and assumptions" on which
rested the old concept of interna-
tional relations-that all belliger-
ents must be treated with impair
tiality.
The covenant of the League OF
Nations marked the turning point,
he continued, and while admitting
the Inconsistency in the United
States invoking the benefits of a
covenant to which it refused ad-
herence," Mr.. jackson pointed out
that the new doctrine as to war and
neutrality found expression in the
Kellogg-Briand pact to which this
country is party, and the Argentine
anti-war treaty of 1888.
Aside from this, however, the At
torney General continued, the

After bloody, head-bashing battle
between local police and pickets at

vester plant here this morning

Equipment Workers Organizing
Committee and arrested all those
In the headquarters on assault and

Some State officers formed
double line on the sidewalk in front
of a stairway leading to the second
floor headquarters of the union
while others entered the building
and herded all those inside the
headquarters to waiting State police

Combat Plane Production
Increasing, Stimson Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary of War Stimson dis
closed today that American aircraft
factories have been turning out a
substantially increased number of
combat planes in the last two
months.
Mr.. Stimson was asked at a press
conference whether airplane pro-
duction had remained virtually I'M
changed for the last three months,
which would have put it at a level
close to 1000 planes monthly
He replied that February and
March had seen "a very satisfactory
increase" in aircraft output and that
the situation was much improved
with regard to tactical craft"
Undersecretary Robert P. Patter-
son put in a word that "in combat
aircraft February was a very good
month and March is going to be,
too"
The disclosure raised the possibil-
ity that there had been a substantial
increase in the number of fighting
planes going to Britain in recent
weeks.
Mr.. Stimson, however. declined to
comment on British aid except to
say that we're working very hard"

solution, as a last and highest
trump card or as desperate effort.
But in itself an invasion need not
necessarily be an act of despair.
If well prepared in advance by at
triton of the enemy's moral and
material resources, and by the con-
centration of all German sources
of power at one point, such an
enterprise would rather correspond
to what Clausewitz calls the thrust
at the heart" in his military writ
ings. The German strategist always
regarded such an operation as the
elimination of a plan of campaign
and the decisive action which broke
the enemy's power once and for all.
From this standpoint an invasion
need not be regarded as a RECKLESS
undertaking which stakes every
thing on one card, but rather as
the methodical preparation for a
strategic situation which would en-
able the invader to gain a COM
plete victory by means of a single
isolated thrust.
We must emphasize the fact that
for this thrust Hitler will employ
every possible method. In its early
stages the invasion will be charac-
terized by features totally different
from those in evidence in his first
attempt last year. 1t is unlikely
that we should see any of the previ-

LONDON, March 27.-Prime Min
lister Churchill today predicted that
the new Yugoslav government would
repudiate the country's pact with
the axis.
Though I don't know what will
happen, and one cannot be sure of
anything" he said, II believe that it
is reasonable to expect that we shall
have a government in Yugoslavia
which will repudiate the pact signed
the day before yesterday and will be
ready to defend the honor and from
tiers of Yugoslavia against aggres-
sion"
Mr.. Churchill spoke at a trades
union congress luncheon. Eearlier
he had told a meeting of the Con-
servative party Central Committee
that Yugoslavia had found its soul"
in revolution" in Belgrade.
The Prime Minister told the party
meeting that there sis a supreme
event more blessed than victories,
namely, the rising of the spirit of
the great American Nation and its
even more intimate association with
the common cause"

The Labor luncheon at which he
spoke was attended by United States
Ambassador John G. Winant.
1T was breaking all our hearts to
see the gallant Serbian and Yugo-
slav people signing away their souls
over the counter through weak and
cowardly rulers to those who, once
they had them in their grip, would
have shaken the life and independ-
ence out of them" Mr.. Churchill
said.
81 rejoiced when I heard just an
hour before this luncheon that a
revolution had taken place in Bel
grade and that the ministers who
signed this pact had been arrested
The Prime Minister said: This is
the time when we may have good
hope of the results of this war.
"The final result is perhaps dis
tant, but it may be much nearer
than we suppose. You can't tell -"
Il remember that (in the last war;

ing told that we we're running short
of this and that but we went

we ran short of was Huns.

work of preparing for the cam
paign of 1919 and found they had
all surrendered"

to make any definite statement on
this point as yet
