him this afternoon tollo1U:
am sorry to be 20 minutes late,
but I have the kind of a schedule
these days that makes it sometimes
impossible for me to be strictly on
time. 3
In asking you to come here to this
conference, I think we should all
every one of us-realize not only the
serious purpose before us, but the
serious problem as well.
Two weeks ago, I suppose the
average American felt either that we
wouldn't get into the war, or that if
we did, we would mop up, if it came
to war in the Pacific, in very short
order. Rather derogatory remarks
were Ieveled all through this coun-
try against any danger from Japan.
OF course, as we have begun to
realize now and realize more deeply
as time goes on. there is very real
danger to the whole world, because
there is a new philosophy in the
world which would end for all time
if it is swept into this country,
even if it is swept over the rest of
the world-it would mean an end OF
private industry, and it would mean
the end of trade unionism equally
It is a real danger. We haven't
won the war by a long shot. 1t
is going to 60 on for a long time.
And 50 I have asked you here to
help win this war just as much as
if you were in uniform. am going

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE
London radio reported today
that the japanese drive in
Northwest Malaya now was but
10 miles from the northern tip
of insular Penang, and gave the
following details as to the tao
tics of the Japanese advance:
"Mechanized columns, includ-
ing tanks, some of them one
nan tanks, push their way down
the road, supported by dive
bombers. The purpose of these
low-f1ying aircraft is to blast
our defenses out of the way
wherever possible. Once an
opening has been made, the
enemy's mechanical troops
push on for a few miles and dig
themselves in.
Meanwhile the infantry of
trained jungle fighters, many of
them equipped with machine
guns, deploys on either side and
cut their way through the jun
gle. Their object is to consoli-
date their position after the
breach made by the mechanical
Spearheads. If this succeeds,
the maneuver is completed"

Speaking as representative
Of the British Trade Movement,
Jones appealed to American La
Tor to forget petty differences
and self-interest and to be Will.
ing to sacrifice everything to
save freedom and democracy. He
demonstrated how education has
enabled the British workingman
actually to take the leadership
i'll the defense of his nation, ex-
planned the need for similar ed
ucation of American labor and
outlined it's procedure.
Mr.. Jones described how, after
finishing their days work, coal
miners, mill hands and factory
wol kers drill three hours with
the home guard, and then fight
the "blitZes," often for the rest
of the night.
Education of the worker was
the principal theme of other
conference speakers. The first
step, strongly urged, was the
establishment of an education
committee composed of the most
