the details of proposed agreement
which he and William S. Knudsen,
his defense production associate, ad-

Before reading the proposal, which
would permit the union to appeal

its failure to take disciplinary ac-
ton, Mr.. Hillman reiterated that it
was neither a provision for a closed

The Michigan Senator revealed
he had taken the matter up with

and with Attorney General Jackson.
Mr.. Knudsen told him, the Sen

BucharestCaII
For Reserviisfs

Army Moy Replace
German Forces on
Russian Frontier
By the Associated Press.


BELGRADE, Feb. 20.-Diplo-
matte quarters in Belgrade and
Sofia said tonight they had heard
reports that Rumania had Or
dered nearly 100000 reservists
to report for active duty on or
before March Is.
One report reaching Balkan
capitals was that Bucharest
would order the Rumanian Army
to the Russian frontier following
withdrawal of all German forces
from that part of the country.
An explanation of this was that
the Germans, not fearing a Russian
thrust at the moment, were en-
trusting the Rumanians with rou-
tine defense of that flank while
Nazi forces could sweep southwark
to Greece and the Mediterranean.
A more widely held version. how
ever, was that new cession of Ru-
manian territory to Russia is in
the cards and that the Germans

a new concession with Rumanian
troops on the frontier than if Nazi
forces formally pledged to defend
Rumania's frontiers were there.
The reported Rumanian call comes
at time when the men affected
mostly peasants-are needed on the
farms for planting.
Rumania began demobilizing
most of the 100000 men she had
under arms after the abdication of
King Carol on September 5, 1910,
and the formation Of a Nazi-in-
clned government by Premier Gen.
Ion Antonescu.
Germany began moving her own
forces into the Balkan kingdom
october 7, and today she is re-
ported to have nearly 100000 troops
massed there.

Danger Of Invasion
Still Stark Reality,
British Reminded
England Must Be on Guard
Against Sudden Blow,
War Secretary Says
By CAPT. DAVID MARGEssON,

British Secretary Of State for War.
BY Gable to The Star and MANA.
LONDON, Sept. 20.-In reply to
the question whether all talk of
invasion is rubbish or reality, my
answer is stark reality.
I do not assert that we shall be
invaded, but 1 do affirm that an
attempt may we'll be made and
that if We were successfully invaded
and overthroWn, freedom through
out the world would be dead.
To some, the danger may seem
less imminent than before the at
tack on Russia and before we had
destroyed so much invasion ship
ping. To them I say: Do not
found your policy on that belief.
When Napoleon marched his
army away from Boulogne in 1906
We could indeed relax some of our
precautions. But Hitler has more
than one grand army. The one he
has sent East has not wholly been
drawn from the West. He has
enough left there 70 strike if we
were off our guard.

Large Number of Troops.
This is a picture of Brazzaville,
but it could easily be picture of all
of Free French Africa. This terri
tory is honeycombed with just such
sights camps where there are
towns and camps alone in the forest
where there are no towns. The Of
fetal figures of the number of troops
now serving under the flag of Free
France has been given by Gen. de
Gaulle as $1,000. If the appearance
of things here is any indication
there are many more than that.
During the campaign in France
I was in close association with all
types of Frenchmen. I met many
who were fine, but these men have
risen far above those others, far
above what they themselves were
before June, 1910. Something has
been added to their characters that
has made them quiet, cryptic, con-
f1dently idealistic in a more mature
sort of way. They are interested
in only one thing the preser-
vation of the France that lies today
in the interstice between oblivion
and redemption. There are those
among them who are under sentence

not excuse you from covering up
against the possibility of a right
uppercut. If your guard drops, you
may get it on the chin. Therefore
you must not drop your guard be-
fore you are quite sure that your
opponent really is groggy.
Nazis Still Near.
Germany is not groggy-yet.
After all, it is eight and one-haIf
years since she started training for
this contest. 1t took us some time
to get into our stride and then we
lost most of our equipment at Dun
kirk.
I want everybody to realize that
anybody who sits on Cape Girls Ne2
is seven minutes by air and an hour
and a half by sea from England;
and that there are a lot of Ger
mans still sitting around Cape Girls
NeZ.
What is even less generally ap-
preciated is that supposing Hitler
should finally be baff1ed in Russia
it would not take him long to bring
back his bombers to the west and
many divisions to reinforce those
who never left the West. Believe
me, this island will not be over
guarded. We must keep enough
troops here to make sure that the
enemy cannot destroy or seriously
damage what is, after all, the power

German bid for world domination.
Bismarck said that he knew a
dozen ways of getting an army into
Britain and each of those dozen
ways, with air roads besides, 6oubt-
less is well known to Hitler and his
staff. But Bismarck also said he
knew of no way Of getting an army
out again. We can reckon what
forces we require to guard against
eventualities here and we shall keep
here no more but not less.
I shall leave the enemy to find out,
as he will find out by unpleasant
experience, what we shall do with
our surplus army at home, which
is insurance against invasion. It is
not being allowed to rot through
| inertia as the French Army was
| allowed to rot.
Remember also that this army
is only in one sector of a front which
| stretches from Iceland to Singapore.
We hold this sector strongly because
it is vital sector and because no

of France into the most treacherous

of France into the most treacherous
armistice in history.
Actually, the signing of the arm
istice was subconsciously foregone
conclusion with the French from
the moment the marshal entered
into power. In spite of emotional
displays toward him, the majority
of France knew of what stuff the
real Petain was made.
For, despite the popular theory
that had been handed to the world
for 25 years extolling the virtues
of the so-called hero of Verdun,
the savior of France, the character
of the marshal had manifested itself
many times.
Petain had not been the hero of
Verdun. Petain had not even been
hero. He had been condemned
often by his own chiefs during the
intervening years as defeatist-a
man who had been ready to con-
cede victory to the enemy before the
enemy hdQ won Dattle.
De Gaulle Served Under Him.
Both Foch and Joffre have in
dicted Petain in their memoirs.
Gen. de Gaulle himself served un-
der Petain as captain at Doua-
mont, the famous fort of Verdun.
Last but not least there is Adolf
Hitler himself. The Fuehrer just
does not play with those to whom
he cannot dictate policy. There was
no reason why the French govern
ment did not move to Africa with
the rest of her fleet during those
hectic days, except Petain. Be
cause Petain had his way, France
lies in chains today.
