Australians at Cairo
After Beating Off
Nazi Dive e-Bombers
Troops Aboard Worships
Use Rifles in Helping
RepeI Attacks at Sea
Bv LARRY ALLEN,
Associated Press War Correspondent.


WITH THE BRITISH FLEET AT
ALEXANDRIA, May l Delayed
A squadron of British cruisers and
destroyers landed 5000 Australian
troops from Greece today after beat
ing off persistent dive-bombing at
tackS in which German pilots
dropped thousand-pound bombs.
The Australians set up Bren
(rapid- fire. guns on the decks of
their ships and used their rifles to
aid in repelling the bombers.
Some near misses heavily rocked
the ships, the troops reported.
An officer of one of the cruisers
said:
The Australians were dead tired
after long weeks of fighting in
Greece, but threw themselves on
the decks to open fire against the
dive bombers with rifles, machine
guns and anything they could lay
their hands on.
Meanwhile we gave the Nazis
heavy dose of lead, firing all naval
guns"
Most of the $4,000 or more troops
officially announced to have been
saved from Greece were carried out
by Warships in the last 10 days.
The commander of one vessel said
the troops were taken off of lighters
and small craft west of Athens,
which carried them half a mile for
embarkation on the Warships in
pitch darkness on the night of

They resOrted to parachutlsts later
to grab the single bridge over the
Corinthian Canal to keep the BlJ-
ish from blowing it up, and also
landed troops by plane in the
PelopOnneSus later.
This speeded up their penetration

We tarried there long enough TO
battle in the hot springs from which
the place takes its name--the hot
gates.
Strong positions we're taken up
on the main road farther west, and
other British imperial troops dug in
on the rugged mountains which
formed the rest Of that line.
But no great modern battle Of
Thermopylae" ever was fought.
Instead the pass was held merely
by covering parties for the evacua-
tion line, and there was no truly
major contact between the British
and Germans after the withdrawal
from the Olympus sector.
The German Air attacks on all
the roads were so heavy that most
of the Withdrawals were by night.
The nights Of April % and % were
moOnlesS. This, together with the
fact that the earlier Olympus with
drawals were achieved on two rainy
night which kept the Germans out
OF the air, was Of tremendous I'M
portance to the British.
Some Fled Through Khalkis.
Some British troops got TO the
beach Of the Evvoia CEuboea) Chan
mel south of Khalkis, and were
picked up by small boats. Others
were taken off at many points along
the Aegean coast.
The bulk Of the army cut across
Attica to the Megara- -Mandara re-
giOn.
Here heavy bombings indicated
that the Germans suspected their
presence, SO instead Of embarking
there they moved by night across
the Corinthian Canal that bisects
the isthmus, and reached the shores
Of the Eastern Peloponnesus, mainly
on the Gulf of Argos.

themselves and their way Of life
against any people controlled by
dictatorship"
Somewhat similar views were eX-
pressed at the banquet last night
by Mr.. Carey in his address on
AN Interpretation of the National
Chamber" He said: we seek a
strong and yet a free Nation in
which every man, every woman,
every family may have opportunity.
We of this country must be able
to look forward to good, productive
jobs in a system the very theme
of which is work and self discipline,
as contrasted with the work under
the dictator's fist of other countries.
This expectation requires much
more than a concentration on the
fears Of the present. If we
fail in the necessary harmony be-
tween management, labor, capital,
farmers and Government. we shall
in the end lose the very essence
of our heritage. We might still
be powerful, but we would not then
be free"
Oppose Production Losses.
One of the newest declarations
of policies Of the chamber, under
which it goes forth under a new
administration elected yesterday, is
that on employment relations keyed
to the defense emergency.
"The public interest is so para
mount in the defense emergency"
declared the resolution adopted by
the chamber, that employers and
employees are under corresponding
obligations to arrive at adjustments
of employment controversies with
out any impairment of production.
When themselves unable to reach
adjustments, they should utilize the
services of State and Federal
agencies and, if there are still diff
ferences, should have a right to
have the aid of the Defense Me-
diation Board.
That any one should for selfish
purposes take advantage of the
puUllC uccu lOl pIOuuCblOtl dllu use
threats of interruption for pur-
poses of coercion is intolerable.
Such acts are offenses against the
public safety, and offenders should
be subjected to the penalties of the
laws they violate. Any persons who
fail to recognize their public re-
sponsibilities should be subjected
to the full force of the opinion of
those they purport to represent and
of the public.
"The chamber, therefore. affirma-
lively proposes that all its member
organizations and forward looking
and patriotic labor and industrial
leaders throughout the country
should Immediately work out a
program whereby moratorium is
declared against any disputes which
will interrupt the free flow of ma
terials required to defense plants
or the manufacture of all elements
required for complete national de-
fense, whether by way of amend
ments to existing labor agreements
or otherwise"

The new president of the Cham
Der of Commerce of the United
States, Albert w. Hawkes. of Kear-
ny, N. j., is an exponent of the
idea that in these days, understand
ing between capital and labor is
of the utmost importance to push
ing forward the national defense
program.
To implement his proposal he has
laid down six-point policies, re-
spectively, for labor and for CAPT.
tai.
To labor he says:
|. Labor should remember that
labor is its own most important Gus
toner. Therefore, labor must serve
labor fairly.
2. Labor's progress in improving
its position must be at a rate not
in excess of the ability of our sys-
tenn to adjust and absorb it.
8. Labor must remember there
never has been and never will be
a substitute for a full days work,

conditions. We must all remember
that to have, We must produce, and
to produce, we must work.
4. Labor should not lose its ad-
vances by making unreasonable de-
mands which will not be approved
by the public.
S. Labor, in its own interest,

terprise survives, this is more likely
to be true from now on than ever
before. Therefore, labor should new
er make demands upon capital
which, when it becomes capital, it
would resist if made by labor
Mr.. Hawkes. cites six points Of
policy for capital to remember:
l. Capital should be willing to
pay a fair price, in the form of
sound adjustments in employe COM
pensation and relationship, as in
surance for capitals security and
free use.
2. Capital must remember that
voluntary cooperation leads to ef-
ficient production, and can result
only from fair compensation, under
fair conditions.
3. Capital should remember that
our extended machine producing
industry requires many buyers-and
these result from the payment to
many people of more than the min
imum required for subsistence.

regardless of what others may do,
it should make its full contribution
TO the solution of today's problems
because, as free men, it can act to-
day - whereas the events in other
great nations prove that the rights
of free people have been curtailed
or destroyed in their tomorrow"
5. All capital and management
should investigate and consider the
wage dividend plans of some of our
great institutions.
6. Capital should remember that
we are all human and if we have
an interest in the profits of the
business then We support what bene-
fits the business and oppose all
things that injure it, not only in
the plant but at the polls.

German prisoners, I left Plraeus on
the last boat out Of that port of
Athens. Our little boat, jammed
with nearly 1000 persons, left the
harbor at night, shortly before mid
night, and got clear just as the
Germans bombed the port for the
fourth time in "a hours.
PiraeuS already was a jungle OF
broken and twisted Wreckage when
We left, threading our way through
channels streWn with German air
borne mines.
Arriving at Crete by noon, We
found our port there under steady
German and Italian air attack. I
saw one ship go down in seven min
utes, but our own was not touched.
Going ashore, we learned of the
arrival of King George II of Greece,
the Premier and the royal house
hold. There were no arrangements
for receiving royalty, but a station
wagon was obtained and in 1t the
monarch was driven for four and
one-half hours over Crete's rough
mountain roads to his destination.
Two Adequate Harbors.
The problem Of British troops in
Greece was complicated by the fact
that Greece had only two harbors
with facilities for unloading heavy
British materials. These were Pi-
raeus, adjoining Athens, and Salon
ika
Salonika fell early into German
hands, and Piraeus was quickly
wrecked by German bombs.
This prevented landing of any
more effective aid, and it was de-
cided to withdraw the British Ex-
peditionary Forces with their COM
paratively low casualties up to that
time-much lower than they already
had inflicted on the Germans
rather than try to continue holding
back German force OF at least 30
divisions 100000 or more men,
against the British 100000.
When this decision was made, the
British had just installed themselves
on the so-called ThermopyIae line,
an elliptical front running from
Thermopylae on the Aegean to a
point near the ancient Oracle of
Delphi on the Gulf of Corinth.
The withdrawal to this line had
been most orderly, despite terrific
and constant German air attacks.
I was in the withdrawal with
British. Australian and New Zealand
troops falling back in their vehicles
behind covering forces. They were
somewhat chastened by the fury of
the German attacks which drove
them from the Mount Olympus line,
but still were grimly determined to
defend the new positions.
1t had been planned to make an
intermediate stand north of Lamia,
but this was abandoned primarily
because of the danger of Germans
landing airplane troops and para
chutists on the plain just to the
south.
The Germans did use air-borne
