LABOR:
And Defense

The strike situation showed some
further amelioration, with the an
nouncement by Bethlehem Steel that
about 10000 of it's workers would get
lO-cent-an-hour increase in wages.
This, for the moment, relieved the
public of the anxiety lest strike hit
this steel-producer, holder of more
defense contracts than any other one
concern in the country, and one of
the nations largest builders of ner-
chant ships
The coal strike, however. contin-
ued to cause trouble, with four more
killed near Harlan, Ky, at a mine
which was continuing to operate de-
spite the general shut down.
Negotiations for the ending of this
strike we're in their final phase. with
every evidence that the agreement
would go through and that soft coal
strikes would be over for another
two years, if not longer.
Those watching the labor situa-
ton felt that the soft-coal agree
ment would pave the way for better
general industrial conditions and
that promised strike threats against
u. S. Steel and General Motors
might not materialize.
The settling of the Ford strike was
held up as a shining example of han
ding what looked like a certain i'm
passe.
Yet there were still moves afoot
in congress which would not exactly
outlaw strikes, but which would pro
vide for a 30-day cooling of pc
ROD before the actual calling of
a walkout, and also calling for Off
cial recognition of the Dykstra-
headed national mediation board.

BALKAN:
Catastrophe

Before the Nazis' Balkan cam
paign had been under way two
weeks 1t was apparent that another
major catastrophe for Hitlers enc
mics was in the making, but how
extensive or how catastrophe none
was prepared to say.
After eleven days of fighting, Ber-
lin reported that Jugoslavia's army
of some 100000 men had capitu-
lated and laid down their fighting
equipment which had proved rela-
lively Ineffective against the highly
mechanical Nazi Iegions.
London announced bad news too
with the report that it had been sub
]ected to the worst air bitz "of all
time" German sources say this
terrific raid came as a reprisal for
British raids on cultural and nom
military detectives in Berlin.
In the very beginning of the
Balkan campaign, the Nazi-Italian
forces took the offensive in Northern
Africa, and the two battles proceed
ed almost in unison, the British be-
ing driven practically out of Libya
by the time that the British sources
were ready to admit that Jugoslavia
had been defeated.
Reaction of the British people was
bitter, not that they were unwilling
to receive news of a defeat that
had been more or less expected, but
because the ministry of information
and the intelligence department
were accused of having fallen down
on the job.
This also was the reaction in
Washington, where it was freely
said by those in the military know
that the British permitted Roose-
welt to promise aid to Jugoslavia
and Greece when it should have
been known that aid to the former
was to be only a gesture, and that
the Serbs and Slovenes could not
hope to stand up to the attack more
than week or two.
Washington sources of high mill
tary information frankly said that
the British intelligence had fallen
down, as it had in the Battle of
France, and that the best Informal
ton in our national capital had been
to the effect that the infiltraton of
Nazi mechanical forces into North
Africa had been of the smallest.
These sources said they had been
told that this shipping Of tanks and
men to North Africa had had only
one purpose-that of putting pres
sure on the French colonies, and
forcing them to stand firm with the
Vichy government.
Whether this was deliberate self
delusion, or an attempt to delude
the American and British people was
not known, but certainly it was bad
information, whether deliberate or
not.
For in about two weeks the Brit
ish had lost everything they had
gained in Libya, and found them
selves seriously on the defensive as
far as the vital Mediterranean port
of Alexandria and the equally vital
Suez canal we're concerned.

GREECE:
On Her Heels

The Greek armies, which had
checkmated the unaided Italian
forces presented against them in the
Albanian campaign, found them
selves facing a horse of another COL
or when the Nazi hordes moved in
from Bulgaria and south from Jugo-
Slavia
Greek sources in the United
States, many of them intensely pa
triotic and hoping against hope for a
Greek victory, had been saying dur
ing the Albanian battle that if the
Nazis ever got in, Greece could not
hope to hold out month.
How true these predictions were
In their essence began to be seen
as the Nazi campaign against north
ern Greece proceeded. Salonika fell,
trapping much of the Greek army
In Eastern Macedonia and Thrace.
Then the Germans broke through
into the Struma river valley, through
the Monastir gap and made contact
with the Italians in northern Alba
MIA.
1t was not long before the plan of
the Graeco-British forces to defend
a line running in an inverted "
shape from Adriatic to Aegean seas
had to be revised, and the whole
hinge of the V, in the Lake Ochrida-
Phlorina sector had to be aban-
doned, and the armies retreat until
the line was more nearly straight.
Along this line a frightfully in
tense battle started, and few were
sanguine enough to believe that the
line would hold and further retreat
and withdrawal not be necessary,
particularly as the line, as first
drawn, lay over heavy mountain
ranges with peaks up to 5000 feet.
And the Nazis had broken through
these, and the fighting in its sec
ondary phase was on terrain more
to the liking of the mechanical units.

Bettys mother put down her sew
ing and went to answer the tele-
phone. When she returned she
stopped short in the doorway of the
bedroom, transfxed with fright.
There sat little Betty, grooming
happily to herself as she explored
the contents of her mothers work
basket. Betty, the bed and the
basket all bristled with needles and
pins. The little girl had reached
through the bars of her crib and
had dragged the basket through
them.
Her mother said that Betty was
just like a small cactus plant when
she picked her up, but aside from a
few scratches. no harm was done.
The thought of accidents that
might happen can send cold chills
down a mothers spine. but such
nervous imagining is not constrUc-
tive. 1t is more sensible to be on the
alert and try calmly to prevent
mishap when the possibility presents
itself The mothers observing eye
and hand can prevent many a
needless injury.
Sometimes accidents occur due to
carelessness on the part of the
mother or nurse or because they do
not realize that the baby's mind is
incapable of determining or remem-
bering what is harmful to touch
and what is not.
The creeping baby of 10 months
will be attracted by many objects,
as will the toddler. 1t is the
mothers job to see to it that
dangerous articles are kept out of
reach of curious little fingers.
Scissors, knives, work baskets,
matches and the like should be
kept far back on tables or shelves,
or inside of bureau drawers when
a baby is in the room. He should
not be allowed to play with coins or
toys small enough to be swallowed.
You can train your older children
to aid the home safety campaign by
telling them that they are taking
a really important part in helping
to protect "our baby" and by
