THE BRITISH START FIGHTING

At last Great Britain has begun
an offensive action in North Africa,
after we had about despaired of her
ever shooting a gun in this war since
Russia received and absorbed the full
shock Of Germany's armed might.
Here in the United States about
all we could hear was the fine; the mat
CHESS oratory Of Churchill. But the
reports Of military action now to re-
lieve the terrific pressure on Russia, is
most welcome news. I~nterspersed
with it, however, is the suggestion that
Britain expects the United States t"
send men and planes to take over o
part of the fighting in North Africa
Disquieting as that may sound, every
one who has followed the trend of ev-
ents, surely expected it.
At least and at last, we have az.
ton by British troops.

We think too many burdens have
been heaped upon the President of the
United States; that he should have in
his cabinet persons wise enough and
brave enough and strong enough to
deal with such problems as strikes
present in this emergency. That would
free the president from the embarrass
ments which flow from personal con-
troversy with the leader of any seq
ment of our population.
We shall find a solution for our
present labor troubles. The sons of the
workers of this country will Of neces-
sity become the vast majority in our
armed forces.
If their security is threatened by
strikes and lockouts, don't place the
blame for it on John L. Lewis, but ra-
Their believe the threat to grow out Of
the policies and practices of the past
few years which sought to make every
one equal by pulling all men down to
the lower levels SO that there would be
no rich and poor, but only the poor; SO
that the fortunate would become the
unfortunate, to change our dream Of a
society Of the blessed for a society Of
the damned.

AND A GREAT AMERICAN. Would

JOHN L. LEWIS AND THE
UNITED MINE

Newspapers Of the country since
the strike in the Captive Coal mines
began have been making a whipping
boy" out Of John l.. Lewis, President
Of the United Mine Workers Of Amer
lea.
For more than a half century the
United Mine Workers Union has lived
and grown. When they were first or
gained, the country had no compensat
ion laws and men worked in the most
dangerous types of employment, includ
ing mines, and Assumed the Risk Of
Their Employment. That is, if they
were injured while at work or killed
neither the miner nor his surviving
widow and children received any bene-
fits. In those days miners worked in
gas filled mines with open light flames
on their caps and as a result many liv-
es were lost through explosions and
fires. There were no safety devices and
laws compelling them to be adopted
and enforced. Wages were low and
living conditions of the miners were
little or no better than those Of the
hogs. Schools for the children of min
ers we're miserable makeshifts for the
education Of youth.
These deplorable conditions,
thanks to John L. Lewis and his assoc
iates, have been vastly changed for
the better. Miners, black and white,
South as well as North, receive decent
wages. Tens Of thousands Of them
have purchased homes, reared splendid
boys and girls who are serving their
various communities and country in
every field Of human effort. And the
benefits have not come to the members
of the Union alone; all workers have
received them.
One old question still remains IN
settled; THE CLOSED SHOP. That
is, all workers in an industry must be-
long to the union, if they work. Stated
in another way, Union men refuse to
work on a job with non-union men. 1t
is not in any a new question with
John L. Lewis; it has been with US
since unions were first formed in Am
erica. Organized industry insists that
for labor to.demand a 100 percent mem
bership which it enjoys, is depriving
workers of their Liberty. Labor coun-
tiers by saying simply that it but fol
lows the example Of modern business
and industry, which, eff you want to
know something" are rather we'll or
ganized.
Public attention at the moment
is focused on the United Mine Workers
and John L. Lewis, their President.
But the fact remains that the United
Mine Workers organization is the only
large organization in the country, the
government Of the United States in
Guided, which practices democracy for
all the members Of its far flung empire
In it there is no discrimination on ac-
count Of race, creed or color. And it
works always to raise the standard Of
living for its members and, therefore,
the standard for all men and women
the country over by SO much.
It is our hope the strike may be
settled in the Captive Mines" and in

Reappointment of Brig Gen. Hugh

Roosevelt, it was announced today
by the White House.
With an explanation that the War

the President has asked the depart
ment to make thorough investiga-
ton of the age and physical condi-
ton of all senior Reserve officers
who are coming up for reappoint-
ment. The department had waived
the question of physical fitness in
its original recommendation that
Gen. Johnson be given a new ap-

Mass Production
OF Small War Vessels
For British Begun
Knox Says No Destroyers
Included; Plea Expected
For "a Mosquito Boots
By FRED II. MORHART, Jr.

Secretary of the Navy Knox an
nounced today a large-scale pro-
gram of producing small war vessels
for Great Britain.
He also declared that the British
had not asked this country for any
ships of the destroyer class or larger,
and that there was no disposition
on our part to turn them over
Rear Admiral Samuel M. Robin
son, chief of the Bureau of Ships,
who attended Mr.. Knox's press con-
ference, said he expected hourly
a request from the British to pro-
vide "a more armored mosquito boats,
He said he expected a mass produc-
ton rate to be reached within a
year. He explained the mass pro-
duction" as being the building of
one mosquito boat a week. This
month the production rate of these
7O-foot. mile-a minute speedsters
was considerably stepped up.
Admiral Robinson disclosed that
the British had decided on a new
model and hence were sacrificing
speed of procurement for quality.
This country has experimental with
seven or eight different models, he
said, and the British are now seek
ing a type based on experiences in
English Channel patrol duty.
Navy May Take Coast Guard Ships.
The British were given "a of our
% mosquito boats this month, Sec
retary Knox revealed last week.
Mr.. Knox said discussions were
under way for the transfer of the
sea operations of the Coast Guard
to the Navy. He said the Navy was
primarily interested in vessels more
than 165 feet long. These include
seven 327-foot cutters of the Ham
ilton class completed in 1887, and
six of the Algonquin class, COM
pleted in 1885. These two classes
comprise the most modern units of
the Coast Guard. Early this month
the British were given 10 vessels of
Chelan class, completed in 1882.
Mr.. Knox said defense officials
had been directed by President
Roosevelt to transact as much busi-
ness as possible with Canada. 1t
was explained that in the case of
the Navy this not only would take
some of the load off our shipbuild-
ing facilities. but would give Canada
additional dollar exchange
