the other end of the Mediterranean.
AS one British military expert is re-
ported remarking in London:
Everything is set for war in the
Balkans, and it may break out in
Spain and Portugal"
1t is, of course. impossible to pre-
dict what Hitler will do. Better
Information about the Balkan Situa-
ton would enable us to make much
better guess as to his next move
But certainly he has a strong air
force within striking distance of the
ports where the British are reported
landing in Greece, and he has not
attempted to interfere with that
landing. He allowed the Yugo-
slavs to mobilize. He has given the
Turks all the time in the world to
reinforce their Thracian frontier.
He has, indeed, lost the timing of
the whole Balkan affair. and whether
this is because British diplomacy
has anticipated him, or because he
has no intention OF fighting a Balkan
war, remains for the future to de-
termine. 1t is on the assumption
that he does not intend to fight in
the Balkans-an assumption which
may be upset before these words
are in print-that it may be worth
while to examine what else he
can do.

have previously pointed out
that Spanish move would be very
tempting to Germany which had
met with reverses in the Eastern
Mediterranean 1t would, if sue
cessful, cut off the Mediterranean
theater from the Atlantic; it would
deprive the British of their only
base, Gibraltar, in that area. it
would have great effect in France
and French Africa. 1t has its
difficulties and risks, of course; but
those difficulties and risks are surely
less than the difficulties and risks
in the far-away Balkans. at the
end of tenuous lines of communi-
cation and with the British striking
force ready to drive in at weak
point.
Moreover, while a Balkan war
would tie up much of the German
air force, the Spanish effort would
need comparatively little air sup
port. since almost no air opposition
need be anticipated. This may be
the deciding factor-for a decision
to give up any Balkan push, while

Holds Law Misinterpreted.

Unfortunately there has been an
impression prevalent in labor board
circles that the language of the
Wagner Act itself compels the board
to line up on the side of unioniza-
tion. There is nothing really in the
language of the law which explicitly
permits any such construction, and
board members have never publicly
taken the position that the laws use
of the word encouraging" in re-
lation to collective bargaining means
q necessary bias in favor of a ma
tional union but in nine cases out
of ten the board has refused to rule
that an employe organization could
be a bona fide expression of the will
OF the workers.
The present situation is in large
degree, it must be said in fairness to
the labor board, far different from
that which existed in the last war.
Today the trade union movement
in America is split. While the A. F.
of L., for instance, proclaimed a
policy of avoiding strikes, the in
roads of the C. I. o. into situations
considered to be CLOSED shops" has
forced the A. F. of L. to pull its men
off the job in a jurisdictional strike.
President Roosevelt has said that
jurisdictional strikes are wholly un-
necessary. Yet there is nothing in
the new mediation board formula
which takes care of that side of the
labor problem. 1t may be, of course,
that the President has in mind i'm
plementing the new mediation board
with other powers If defense work
should be interrupted by jurisdic-
tional disputes. The incident of the
strike at Dayton, Ohio, at Wright
Field, where the A. F. of L. men re-
fused to work because c. I. o. men
were employed in alleged violation
of a closed shop agreement, illus
trates what Government officials are
up against. They thought of tax
ing over the plant but couldn't see
how that would solve the closed shop
problem.
All that can be said of the new
mediation board proposal and ex-
ecutive order is that it is a step in
the right direction, but that it is
only a temporary expedient. When
the President gets back from his
vacation he will doubtless find that
something will have to be done, by
public appeal or otherwise, to COM
NIT national labor union executives
TO adopt an emergency rule order
ing their locals engaged in defense
work not to go out on strike without
permission of the national officers
or national executive councils.

Shows Good Inclination.

lt is significant that in the Presi-
dents executive order the National
Labor Relations Board is asked to
expedite the determination of which
unit is the true collective bargaining
agent The board in the last few
days has shown commendable in
clination to alter its procedure and
deal expeditiously with cases involv-
ing a dispute over the unit desir-
ing to represent the workers
Up to recently a union could
petition for an election and then
accompany it with unfair labor
practice charges which would post
pone the holding Of an election till
the other charges we're disposed Of
"a procedure which meant delay
and sometimes resulted in a series
of acts and reprisals between unions
and employers forcing a strike.
The labor board can be power
full influence in preventing such out
breaks because it usually learns of
the origin of labor trouble far in
advance of the reaching of climax
In a dispute. There is, of course,
no question but that the Presidents
executive order places big respon-
sibility on the board justifying it,
indeed, in modifying any of its de-
cisions or rulings in the interest now
of national defense. But its princi-
pal work can be done in finding out
what the workers in plant want

point on the part of an employer in
failing to reach an agreement If
his case is a weak one. 1t will be
noted that the new mediation
board will not function unless the
existing machinery of the United
States Cancellation Service breaks
down. John R. Steelman. head of
the service, is an experienced
negotiator with many years in the
Government service and he has on
his staff as able a corps of mediators
as could be gathered The Presidents
executive order wisely provides that
all disputes must first go through
the existing mediation service and
then only if a deadlock cannot be
broken will the emergency mediation
board of IL step into the situation.
1t Is regrettable, of course, that
while the mediation processes are in
operation there is no obligation legal
or otherwise for the strikes to be
eliminated and work continued In
the instance of small plants where
the labor situation is in the control
of Communist sympathizers there is
no reason to believe that they will
pay any more attention to the
emergency mediation board than
they have to the existing mediation
commissioners. Some more drastic
plan will have to be invoked to cure
the Communist-inspired strikes put
for the present the public will wait
patiently to see whether the new
board will accomplish the purpose
OF the President.
