Here -Nazi soldier and Rumanian sailor
are shoson on guard duty on the Black sea.
If a general Balkan conflict results from
the JugoslaUian defiance OF Hitler Ger.
many might haze to contend sUlth Russia,
Black sea.
with aid from the British and the
United States, though promised, en-
tirely problematical, going to stand
UP to the Nazi threat Of armed In
vasion, not only from the west, with
German troops, but from the north,
also, with the Fascist legions?
Early in the diplomatic move
there was evidence that the people
were intellectually in favor Of the
United States and Britain-that they
were not willing to ally themselves
with the Nazis. But there were
those who were inclined to question
the early shouts Of Long Live Britain
and Long Live Russia which were
heard side by side in the streets Of
Belgrade.
Russia and Britain were not open
ly allies. What did this mean? Did
it mean that the Jugoslav people had
secret information that Russia had
turned against Germany? Did it
mean that the dispatches saying
Russia had lined up against Ger
many, had refused oil to the Nazis
since last September meant that
something reminiscent Of the Treaty
Of Tilsit had occurred.
Or did it simply mean that along
with the shouts for Britain there had
been Communists shouting for Rus
STA? Soon after the governmental
overturn there was evident the fact
that the Croats, Serbs and Slovenes,
the integral parts Of Jugoslavia,
were not as one on the issue.
But later reports indicated that
Jugoslav national unity had been
reached in opposition to the Axis
powers.

When deputy sherifs t0ere sent to guard
the CIO-snuck International Harvester Co.
plant at Richmond, Ind, they equipped
themselves Nth football helmets and
strong clubs, as shoiUn above.
AS a deep basso profundo back
ground to the Presidents talk was
the American strike situation, and
there was little doubt that the Chief
Executives blasts were headed in
that direction.
The great Allis- Chalmers strike,
laid in the lap of the Dykstra-headed
mediation board, was ordered set
tied pending negotiations, but on the
reopening day, after some 500 en-
ployees had fired up the furnaces
and had prepared the heat-treating
equipment to handle the vital de-
tense metals, less than 1880 out Of
1900 workers on the first shift
turned out. The company claimed
that 1850 showed up, but the union
said it was a scant 400.
But the mediation board was roll
ing up its sleeves. Even as the Allis-
Chalmers workers voted a continu-
alton of the strike, claiming that
Knox and Knudsen had worked
conspiracy against them, the walk
out at Plainfield, N. j., was halted,
the strike at Bethlehem Steel was
settled, and there was evidence that
DR.. Dykstra might succeed where
Frances Perkins and her concilia-
tors had failed.
The secretary of the navy and the
production manager of the nations
defense had charged that the Allis-
Chalmers strike was the result of
fraudulent balloting. The unions re-
ply was that this was a conspiracy
to do labor out of its right.
The union refused to 60 back to
work, throwing defy in the teeth
of the mediation board, while $45,-
100000 in defense orders lay idle in
the factory.
There was no question but that the
Allis- Chalmers walkout was the crux
and heart of the whole American la
Dor situation, stormy and severe, On.
it rested the whole government hope
of controlling the situation without
cracking down on labor in some
drastic fashion, without robbing la
Dor Of its hard-won gains over
score of years, without forcing the
plant to fall into the defense line
despite the ''under the law" labor
difficulty,
Again the issue was not one Of
wages, primarily, but one Of union
membership, one of those technical
issues which left the general public
cold to the reason for which, the
strikers were fighting.
It was case where union men
were accusing both government and
employer of failing to live up to
promises-promises not only made
in mediation but fashioned also in
the labor laws of the New Deal.
It was an issue that all America
and all Europe watched with grow
ing intensity.

OH FOR THE FOOD
OF THE 1871 SOLDIER

VV 4O4x 0OAO11iAe
1T IS A LONG JUMP from
''canned WILLIE" salt pork, boiled
spuds, boiled beans, bareback and
cheap coffee to roast duck, turkey,
ribs Of beef and Yorkshire pudding,
asparagus tips, au gratin potatoes,
ladyfngers, lemon meringue pie,
cream puffs, and all the other deli
cacies which can be found on a
Waldorf menu.
That represents the difference be-
tween soldering in 1898 and soldier
ing in 1941. I was soldering In 1893
and as see the difference, am sor-
~ I am past the draft age in 1941.
Well do remember how, as
cavalry troop officer, ! confscated
q box of cake, cookies and other
sweets which fond mother sent
TO her son, because the doctors told
me no soldier could eat such food
and survive the rigors Of a soldiers
life and work.
AS see the luxurious barracks
constructed for our soldiers Of to-
day, I recall how I was threatened
with court-martial because had
taken the dividend my troop re-
ceived from the regimental canteen
to buy lumber for floors in our troop
tents so the men might get out OF
the mud and stay out Of the hos
pitfalls. That is another difference
between soldering in 1898 and sol
diering in 1941.
In 1898 the ''top kick" assigned
the dumbest men Of the troop-the
men who could not do ''fours right"
and ''fours left" to the kitchen as
cooks. Now they give company
cooks special schooling, teach
them all about Galleries and vita
minis, before they permit them to
cook, and for cooking they pay them
extra money. What jump from
1898 to 1941.
Even as late as 1918, rations were
not tops, but they had improved as
compared to 1898. I stopped one
day for meal with Texas outfit in
France Just before the close of the
first World war, and it consisted
of beef stew-the best beef stew
ever ate, and better than anything
one could get in England at the
time. ! thought it was the best
soldier food ever heard of, but it
did not compare with the things
our soldier boys are being served
today.
Who would not want to be sol
dier?

INDUSTRIAL SABOTAGE
AND THE AMERICAN SYSTEM
WE AMERICANS, the people of the
cities, towns and farms, have a
vital interest in the labor turmoil
throughout the nation.
As taxpayers, we are interested in
the terrific increase in cost of the
preparedness program these strikes
involve and which we must pay.
As consumers, we are interested
in the increased costs of the things
we must buy.
But our greatest interest is in the
effect 1t may have on our system Of
government, on our way of life, on
our future as nation.
A part, a small part, Of the tur-
MOL is occasioned by an honest eff
fort on the part of labor leaders to
better conditions Of the working
classes, to increase their standard
of living. With that small part the
vast majority of American people
will have no objection, will offer no
protest.
Another part, and large part, is
occasioned by gangsters, not work
ing men, who have seized control
of labor organizations and who are
seeking personal profit from the agi-
tation they create. ALI too many Of
the labor organizations are today
controlled by such gangsters, who
are collecting vast sums from the
working classes and reporting to no
one but themselves.
Another part, also large part,
and one in which we Americans are
especially concerned, is occasioned
by fifth colurnnists who would,
through created labor difficulties,
change our form Of government, our
way Of life.
Representative Dies, after long
and careful investigation, tells us
the Communist party is attempting,
through the creation Of industrial
strife, to socialize American indus
try and remodel it on the Russian
plan.
Former Ambassador Bullitt tells
us that because of these industrial
conflicts, we are headed for the fate
that befell France.
It is the part Of the industrial tur-
MOL engendered by these alien isms
that is our greatest concern, We OBJ
ject to the sabotaging Of that sys-
tenn, that way of life which has made
us the most prosperous people, with
the highest standard of living OF any
nation on earth. ta 94s
America cannot countenance such
alien methods. Our political leaders
Of all parties should realize the vast
majority of all of us-laboring men,
farmers, manufacturers, merchants,
all-are .strenuously opposed to q
continuance Of the activities OF the
adherents of any European ism in
their efforts to destroy us; that we
demand legislation to stop the call
ing Of unjustified strikes, the under
lying purpose of which is to under
mine the American system Of gov
eminent.
The fifth columnist and the gang
ster will 60 to all lengths to gain
their ends. There is no place In
American labor organizations for
either Of these. ~.

Defense Bond Quiz

@. What is the Treasury's under
lying thought in avoiding a pressure
campaign to sell Defense Savings
Bonds and Stamps?
A. The belief that the American
public is anxious to aid to the limit
in Jefense of the NaEon, and also
wants to save money for future
needs, especially since such savings
will help to keep down the cost Of
living.
@. Should l buy Defense Savings
Stamps at retail stores rather than
at post offices and banks?
A. Buy stamps wherever it is
most convenient. The important
thing is to purchase Stamps as Of
ten as you can, and exchange the
completed Stamp album for a De-
fenhe Savings Bond.
NOTE: To buy Defense Bonds
and Stamps, go to the nearest post
office, bank or savings and loan
association, or write to the Treasurer
of the United States, Washington,
D. C. Also Stamps are now on sale
at retail stores.
