State CIO Legislative Report
the Maryland and c Industrial Union


The labor movement today faces
its gravest dangers since the First
World War in 1914. Under the
cloak Of national defense" false
patriots are conducting a ruth
less drive against the working peo-
pie of this country. attempting 20
break the great strength OF the
CLIO. so that the most powerful
bulwark against war may be shat
tered. This attack takes many
forms. not the least Of which is
on the legislative front
In recent days. the public press
has been filled with accounts Of
attacks by legislators upon the
labor movement in general, and
upon its strongest section. the Go.
in particular. A certain Congress-
man. Ford by name. has seen fit
to brand the CLIO as an unAmeri-
can organization. and TO call for
laws to make us Illegal. A con-
ference OF forty-four Governors
calls for uniform state legislation.
which under the guise of anti
sabotage laws" would increase the
number and the power OF the Ma
tional Guard as an anti-labor
weapon. and which would prevent
any strikes in defense industries.
The attorneys of the Department
Of Justice have just published. In
the Harvard Law Review. an ar
ticle which calls for the use Of
the draft law to force workers TO
remain in one place. and to work
for low wages.

O single serious attempt on the
part Of the President OF the United
States, of Congress. or of any
members of the employing class
to reduce. restrict. curtail. or tax

of the defense program. In fact.
the attacks that are today being
made against labor by the Depart

officials. cause us to ask ourselves
whether this is a genuine defense
program, and whether country
wherein the power Is held by such
false and phony patriots will long
remain worthy of defense by its
working men and women.

eight o'clock in the evenings,

this, and would be wearing
warm enough garments, or
could dash up to their rooms to

Muy Mark Turn in Course of Conflict

against aggression. Her position is
far less unhappy than it was before
the revolt. Every moment she
CLEANS now free of combat is golden
one, for it gives her a chance to get
her fighting machine into position
for eventualities.
May Be a Turn in the War,
This crisis may be the beginning
OF a great turn in the complexion os
the war. Herr Hitler will be lucky
If it benefits him. AS a matter of
fact, it may already have caused a
grave upset in his reported plans
for persuading Japan to enter ac-
lively the war against Britain by at
tacking the great naval base of
Singapore.
Japanese Foreign Minister Mat
suoka Is In Berlin now for the pur-
pose of sizing up the situation SO
that his government may determine
what to do. The Nazis have laid
themselves out in well-nigh un-
precedented manner to impress their
important guest, and the whole
show has had as It's background the
Nazi triumph In securing the adher-
ence OF the Yugoslav government to
the axis.
There are few things from the
Nazi viewpoint which could leave a
more disastrous impression with
Matsuoka than the Yugoslav turn
over. 1t could easily mean Japan's
sidestepping Nazi pressure for more
active support.
Evening star., 1941-03-28

grade said the answer was that
Yugoslavia wouldn't ratify the pact
of adhesion to the axis-signed by
the government which was over
thrown-but was returning to full
and absolute neutrality"
This message-born of an all
night session of the boy ruler and
his cabinet-Was emphasized indi-
rectly but forcefully by the action
of the Belgrade government in COM
pleting the mobilization of 1.250,0O0
of the worlds toughest fighting men,
and rushing them to battle stations.
Next Move Up to Hitler.
Now If that is in truth the reply
of Peter and his councillors to Hit
Ter, il is no wishy- -washy affair but
a historic declaration of rights. 1t
means this:
YugoslaWa declines to take dicta-
ton from Germany. She proposes
to pursue her long-standing policy
of peace toward her neighbors. So
determined is she in this attitude
that she is prepared to fight to
maintain her right to this position.
That puts the baby right back on
Herr Hitler's doorstep. The next
move Is up to him, and if he says he
wants to fight, why then it will be
fight.
The Nazi chiefs decision under
these circumstances isn't an easy
one. II he uses force he will open
up a big new war front-the very
thing he has been trying to avoid.
He also will ipso facto throw Yugo-
slavia into the Anglo-Gre camp,
and perhaps even draw Turkey into
the conflict.
Chance for Colossal Blunder.
On the whole it is a grand chance
for somebody to make a colossal
blunder. Small wonder then that
the Fuehrer should be proceeding
cautiously, although report has it
that German troops In Bulgaria are
being rushed toward the Yugoslav
border.
The Nazis protested to Belgrade
concerning the alleged attacks on
German citizens there yesterday,
but spokesmen remained reticent
with the press. The general attitude
of off1cialdom in Berlin. however,
was one of dissatisfaction with
Yugoslavia's position.
Meantime Yugoslavia has received
offers of full aid from the United
States and Britain if she fights
