Lection Chief Hits
CsLuWlessness

New York, N. Y.-Milo J. Warner,
national commander of the American
Legion, accused "some of the lead
ers" of the CIO of promoting "lawless,
head-smashing tactics" in the defense
emergency and of condoning Com
munist elements in the organization.
The Legion, he said in speech be-
fore the Ohio Society of New York,
seeks "no part in labor disputes as
such," but opposes lawlessness on the
part Of employers and unions alike.
Warner said "the ma ajority of labor
and industrial leaders" had recognized
the fact that responsible leadership
could prevent outbreaks of violence
and were making sincere efforts "to
meet and solve" the problem.
Unfortunately, there are some
leaders who are not doing So" he
said. "I refer to some of the leaders
of the Congress of Industrial Organ
izations."
Warner said CIO leaders had made
no effort to "clean their organiza-
ton of radical and Communist ele-
| iiiCilIo NIliNI let"lCSoIlCSo tilltA
disorder--not to win strikes as they
claim-but to cripple the defense
work Of the United States and cripple
the Government of the United States"
He accused the organizations
spokesmen of having "pre- judged"
legal deportation proceedings against
Harry Bridges, West Coast Maritime
Union leader, and of attempting to
influence this "lawful process" by
threatening strikes and riots.
"On that statement of facts, on its
own statement about the Bridges
hearings, the Americanism of this
labor leadership is in question and in
doubt" Warner said "On the law
less, head-smashing tactics of men
led by subordinates in the CLIO, there
arises further question of their
Americanism.
"And if | am mistaken in this COM
ment, the CIO leaders who believe
themselves genuine Americans de-
voted to their country's welfare can,
in very short time, repudiate and
eliminate the lawbreakers and violent
radicals from the ranks of CIO. 1t
would not take five minutes to def
nitely and publicly repudiate them"

Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-02-12

IN HIS last speech Hitler said
that in the last year he had
made 724 mistakes and the British
1924 900. The number of mis-
takes on either side, however, is
not what is important. The po-
litical and strategical nature of
the mistakes is what is important.
Britain underestimate the mill
tary strength and inner morale of
Germany. Britain overestimated
the military strength of France.
But Hitler completely misesti-
mated Britain. And he also over
estimated the military strength of
France. And these two mistakes
have cost Hitler his war.
IN APRIL last year had talk
with an important neutral
European statesman. The talk
was confidential, and only the
fact that the gentleman has since
died releases me from the conf
dence. He told me that he had
had a talk with Hitler only few
days before the attack on Poland.
Hitler had assured him that the
British were bluffing.
He confided in him that the
NaZi intelligence service had inter-
rupted the reports of Sir William
Edmund Ironside to both the
Polish and British governments
and staffs. from which he had
learned thta in IronSide's opinion
the Poles could only hold out for
a matter of weeks. Arguing from
this, Hitler concluded. first. that
the Poles would not offer effective
resistance, and, second, that the
British. once Poland fell, would
withdraw from the war.
In the course of the converSa-
ton. Hitler said:
81 do not want war with
Britain. To avoid IL is the very
basis OF my policy. Even II l
won, it would be a world catas-
trophe. Germany is In no posi-
