which to finance the first years
deficit of the new Red Shield
Hostess House and to carry on
the local religious and charit-
able work for the year got un-
derway this morning with a
KICKOFF breakfast at the Me-

Principal speaker at the
breakfast was Rev. Harold Hay
ward, of the Gilbert Memorial
Baptist church, who urged Army
workers to keep in mind the
words, THAT is not enough,
when they canvass for the fund
this year.
Rev. Hayward told the meet
ing of approximately so workers
and officials that he learned the
words during the first World war
when he served in the Egyptian
expeditionary force. In those
days natives buying at the BIZ
zarre would utter the words,
La Musk Ma Caffee," (that IL
not enough) when they bought
peanuts and other foods and
thought they were being short

soldiers quickly learned the eff

ing. In these days when the need

the Salvation Army on its fine
work and told members what q

-(P-Speedy mobilization OF
North Americas resources, call
ing for the interchange OF de-
tense articles by the United
States and Canada, has been
agreed upon by President Roose-
welt and Canadian Prime Min
lister w. L. Mackenzie King.
DUAL DETECTIVES
Designed for the dual purpose
of fastening aid to Great Britain
and other democracies and for
defense of this hemisphere. the
agreement was announced in a
Joint statement last night after a
seven-hour conference between
Mr.. Roosevelt and the Canadian
leader at the Presidents Hud-
son Valley home. Both then left
for their respective posts IN
Washington and Ottowa.
ut was agreed upon as gen
eral principle" the statement
said, "that in mobilizing the re-
sources of this continent each
country should provide the other
with defense articles which it is
best able to produce, and, above
all, produce quickly, and that
production programs should be
coordinated to this end"
During the next year, the
statement added, it was hoped
Canada could supply the United
States with $500, 100000 to
$500, 600, 900 worth of defense
articles urgently required by
the United States"
MUNITIONS INCLUDED
Certain kinds of munitions,
strategic materials, aluminium
and ships" were mentioned in
this respect.
In that period, the statement
said, Canadian purchases would
be even greater than in the past.
Pending ironing out of technical
and financial details, it was I'M

diers with fixed bayonets, flanked by
armored cars mounting machine
guns, guarded two Richmond ship
yards today as independent welders
threw picket lines around eight bay
area yards in an inter-union dispute.
Soldiers guarded two other plants,
while pickets alone patroled the re-
manning plants. Yards reported op-
erations were almost impel ceptibly
affected. ,
The heaviest show OF armed force
was at Todd California shipyard in
Richmond, where 300 soldiers under
Mai. Gen. Charles H. White, and
six armored cars, each mounting
| two machine guns, faced quiet
line of so pickets. Three more ar
mored cars were at the adjacent
Richmond yard.
The Army is here for one pur-
pose" Gen. White said, Ito see that
any man who wants to go to work
will be given the opportunity. The
right to picket will not be in
fringed."
Troops were less conspicuous at
the Pacific Bridge yard in Alameda,
where 100 were insides the gates,
and at Western Pipe g. Steel in
South San Francisco, where l60
were stationed
Effectiveness of the picket lines
was disputed by employers and the
United Welders, Cutters and Help
ers, an independent union whose
members recently broke away from
half dozen different A. F. L.
unions.
A Todd California spokesman
where the picket lines originated in
the bay area when cards were taken
away from welders for failure TO
pay A. F. l.. dues, said the only ab-
sentees were 100 welders whose cards
had been taken up.

Navy statement explained that the
management of the Bay area ship
yards and representatives of nom

miral that welders planned a strike
''and that violence was anticipated
"As a result, they suggested that
the admiral provide troops to insure
that the welders not wishing to
strike would have peaceful access TO
their jobs the statement continued
Accordingly, Admiral Greenslade
has requested that the Army provide
such troops as may be necessary to
provide safe access for such workers
as desire to continue at their jobs.

We were hours and 20 minutes

Gen. Brett refused to comment
on the reasons for his unheralded
record in making the flight here
beyond the remark that it was
military necessity for him to come
to the Far East. He has not re-
vealed how long he expects to re-
