Washington Enjoys Watching Capital And Labor Leaders
 Co-Operate On Defense Task

relations between capital and labor and that new era of mutual un- derStanding dawns. It can be re- ported, however, that the White House and official Washington gen. orally relish the spectacle of har- mony that seems to exist within the defense commission.
 TRAVELLED
 DIFFERENT ROADS
 Though their careers have pres ently led them to the same place, the roads Bill Knudsen and Sidney Hillman travelled in getting there have been as far apart as possible. William KnudSen once said:
 Out of 100 men 27 are self-start- CTS, 40 are men who can do what the 27 tell them to do. I don't know what the remaining B are doing, and my hope is that my portion of the B will be as small as possible. !" This illustrates the difference in | philosophy between the Director General of the Of1ice of Production Management and his Associate Di- rector General, Sidney Hillman. For Hillman has spent a great part of his life as 8 champion of the 33.
 Knudsen is, in general philosophy, a laissez faire man. He belives cen- tralization, through governmental regulation of business, hurts produc- tion.
 Hillman once remarked of laissez faire: "Laissez faire is the policy of every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost. But I have no- ticed that the devil not only takes the hindmost, but everything else as we'll"
 Cursing the plague of planless- neSs," Hillman plugged hard in the early 1930s for National Economic council. It would have consisted of men from each major industry who would determine what per cent of capital reserves should go into ex- pansion and what per cent should go into increased buying power through higher wages. Although this plan was never adopted, parts of it greatly influenced the establishment of the MIRA, of which Hillman was labor s adpinistrator.
 KNUDSEN STILL
 OPPOSES NEW DEAL What Knudsen thought of the MIRA is a matter of record. He called it "a crazy voluntary legislation movement" and said that "of course the whole thing blew uD."
 Hillman has been behind many

other New Deal labor laws, including the Wagner Act and the wage-hour bill. His testimony before a con- gresSional committee Investigating wages and hours played large role in the bill's final passage and Pres ident Roosevelt sent nim the pen with which the bill was signed into law.
 Both these acts are foreign to KnudSen'S philosophy. He sees in both a decrease in production. There are two schools of thought in dealing with the unemployment problem" he once said. "The first is advanced by our labor leaders, who advocate splitting the work up so that more men share the same job. This is not exactly making two blades of grass grow where one grew before because we end up with one blade of grass not any bigger or better but costing somewhat more"
 The whole philosophy which the New Deal stands for is dear to Sid- ney Hillman, who broke with John l.. Lewis to re-endorse President Roose- welt for a third term. The New Deal philosophy is an anathema to Knud- sen, who sees in 1t trends that will make everyone poor in the long run. This idea of having everybody get poor so nobody can get rich is not going to work" he once said. "Any- way 1t never has except in ancient Sparta, and Sparta isn't with us any more."
 The Danish blood in his veins shapes much of Knudsen's philos- l ophy. Five years ago he proudly told a Morse civic association: Scandinavia is the balance wheel of the world. You do not hear of these people suggesting remedies for settling the problems and curing the ills of the world. They are clean and wholesome and sane people quite unaffected by the crazy ideas that seem to sweep the rest of the world" :" BOTH WANT
 PRODUCTION
 Surprisingly enough, the basic aim of both Hillman and Knudsen is much the same. Both want in- creased production, no matter how greatly they may differ on the way to attain and distribute it properly. Hillman would be the first to admit that only through increased produc- tion can labor have decent stand ard of living.
 In their present, monumental task, there is little conflict in aim. Both

given by Dorothy Armstrong for

Monday night, but was also charac-
teristic of the friendly atmosphere
which prevailed in the large aud

Mrs. Armstrong discussed the
meaning of friendship and empha-
sized the fact that it comes through
the meeting of kindred spirits and
that through love of music warm
friendships result.
In addition to Mrs. Armstrong s
talk, the program included a group
of musical numbers, Mamie Uchida

played two piano solos with brilliant
technique and poise: the Chopin
