 Myron Taylor, astute former head of the United States Steel Corporation, very automatically smoothed the way for the invita- tiOn."
 Taylor and Lewis had conferred rlone in the formers hotel suite for several hours, discussing the proposal, later agreed to by Lewis, to submit the closed shop isue to the National Defense Mediation Board.
 During this meeting, Taylor. fresh from Q mission to Rome, talked at length on the extreme gravity of the international situa- ton, the great danger facing the United States and the crucial role 1t is playing In world affairs. He made 1t clear that now is not the time to rock the boat. Lewis, who fancies himself an authority on international affairs, was much impressed.
 After lunch, the two men were joined, at the Presidents request, by will Davis, chairman of the Mediation Board. Davis is an- other of Lewis's pet peeves, so his presence did not soothe the union leaders touchy sensibilities. Davis is the one man in the administra- ton who has stood up to Lewis.
 Finally, Taylor suggested that the three go to the White House for @ personal talk with the Pres ident. It had been many months since Lewis and Roosevelt had been face to face.
 To Taylor's proposal, Lewis re- piled. T won't go without an p- vitation."
 "AlI right" said Taylor quiet ly, "Ill see if we can get an in- vitation."
 He picked up the phone, asked for the White House and was promptly connected with the Pres ident, to whom he said, we have been talking over a plan, MT. President, and think we ought to come and see you about It."
 Roosevelt replied he would see them immediately. Taylor turned to Lewis and said, "Is that all

WHITE HOUSE WASH

Washington (FFF) Mrs. Roose-
welt has ordered her housekeeper to
send no more sheets or shirts to the
Arcade Sunshine Laundry, which or
dinarily gets the White House wash.
Reason is that some $50 of the
laundry's employees, members of Local
1888, Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, are on strike. Some
of the employees, 80 per cent of whom
are Negroes, work as long as 81 hours

Mrs. Roosevelt gave the order to
stop White House use of the laundry
as soon as she was informed of the

The War-Debt Record
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 With calculated persistence some detractors of our policy of aid to Great Britain have contended that should not help any people who have not honored their debts The reference, of course, is to the debt The best answer to this argument, of course is simply to point out that American aid to Britain is not for Brtains sake but for Americas safety. We not giving anything away. We are simply protecting our own country in the cheap est and surest way.
 But the debt ghost needs to be laid also. The facts simply stated Great Britain has not repudiated her debt to us And she has paid inn mensey more absolutely and relatively, than any other major debtor nation.
