Anti-Sabotage Act
Gives State Potent
Enforcement Arm

SACRAMENTO, April 20. tUP)-
Gov. Culbert Olson'S last-minute
signature on the Slater anti-sabo-
tage act today gave California law
enforcement authorities a powerful
weapon with which to protect de-
fense projects and industry.
The governor signed the bill in
sLos Angeles last night and it was
flown to Sacramento in time to be
filed with the secretary of state
few minutes before the midnighi
deadline. The bill passed the sem
ate "a to and the assembly 81 to
3, but was approved over protests
of the CIO and other labor groups.
1t goes into effect Immediately.
The assembly dawdled along on
the budget, with another caucus OF
administration members scheduled
on a compromise amendment sub
mitted by the anti-Olson economy
bloc" Both sides appeared unWill-
ing to concede anything, making it
appear that unless there is quick
settlement, the scheduled special
order will be postponed and final
adjournment of the legislature de-
layed until June or later.
An attempt failed last night to
send back to committee the senate
approved bill outlaWing hot cargo
and the secondary boycott, after
hackers of the bill charged the at
tempt was being made by labor to
kill the bill. Assemlyman r. M.
Green of San Francisco moved for
referring to committee for further
study and amendments, but the vote
was 40 to 80 against it.
Green then moved TO eXpunge the
record of the proceeding and it was
carried, Al to 27. Thus the bill re-
mains on the third reading file,
with most members jittery because
OF the intensive pressure being laid
down by farmers and businessmen
on the one hand and labor groups
on the other.
The Desmond bill to revamp the
unemployment insurance act passed
the assembly last night, A to 49, but
Edward Oday of San Francisco
} moved for reconsideration, SO the
measure will come up again. The
bill would permit employers to
obtain more equitable" merit rat
ingS, closely restrict payments 10
beneficiaries, and tighten major
provisions Of the existing act.
The issue of tax reduction was
raised again in the senate with
introduction by John Shelley of
San Francisco, of a bill to earmark
10 per cent of state taxes for ulti-
mate dispersal to unemployment anc
relief programs"

possessions the islands Of New
Caledonia and the Hebrides. They
will play an important role in the
coming struggle In Southeastern
Asia" he said.
Would France lend them to the
United States as naval bases in case
of need?"
Without any fuss whatever" re-
piled Gen. de Gaulle simply.
Asked about the problem Of their
present protection, Gen. de Gaulle
said:
IF you consult map, you will
see that they lie near enough to the
Australian coast so that Japan could
not actually take possession Of them
without Involving herself with Aus
tralia. But we have taken our own
steps against an aggressor. We shut
off the nickel and iron shipments
from, these islands to Japan at the
same time when the Netherlands
Indies did That was a great sacri-
flee. considering our unprotected
position"
Mistake In Ind0- China.
What about Japan's seizure Of
Indo-China?"
1T seems to me that both the
United States and Britain badly
compromised their position by tax
ing much too light view of that
invasion" said the general candidly.
TT was q mistake to treat the
seizure Of Indo-China in terms of
threatening reprisals only II the
invasion should further extend It
self into Thailand. Instead. both
the United States and Britain
should have said outright that Jap
anese occupation could not be rec
ognized as rightful and specifically
stated that as soon as a military
opportunity presented itself the
Indo-Chinese situation would be
corrected"
Touching on the remaining parts
of the empire divided between Gen.
de Gaulle and Admiral Darlan, the
interviewer remarked that Ameri-
can isolationists might demur at
taking steps against Dakar even
in Americas interest because
Franco-British forces had failed
there. observation-disclosures might
inquire why Free France has not
yet attempted to take either Somali-
land or Madagascar from Vichy,
thus making a clean sweep of the
East African coast.
I'VE wish to avoid shedding blood
wherever possible" replied Gen. de
Gaulle. Each case of a different
colony is different and demands diff
ferent handling and timing. We
believe that it may be possible to
bring the VichyiSt command of the
Somaliland garrison TO terms
through a food blockade. NADIA
gascar Is not an immediate prob
lem and we can take measures there
whenever the British fleet, under
whose orders we stand, considers
such steps expedient."
What about Martinique?"

"If Dakar is essential to the United
States, the safety Of Martinique is

equally so," said Gen. de Gaulle.
''The situation there is the same as
nearly everywhere, namely, naval
units under Admiral Georges Robert
(high commissioner of Guadalupe
and Martinique) are Vichyist in the
onicer ranks but the entire popula-
ton Is sympathetic to us. If the
United States Navy should receive
an order to occupy Martinique am
reasonably sure that Admirals Ro'.
bert would attempt to resist. But
believe that Admiral Robert would
be reasonable enough to surrender
without serious bloodshed when he
felt that his obligation toward his
Vichy superiors had been dis
charged"
AS the interview drew to a close
the writer asked Gen. De GauIle how
he envisaged the future government
of France, how he thought the Free
French republic could curb the
abuses that arose under former
Premiers Edouard Daladier and Paul
Reynaud.
Il am not politician" said Gen.
De Gaulle. But I think that tech

town of Marid.
The British, in q communique
issued from Simla, also declared that
their columns advancing eastward
from Iraq had occupied the frontier
town Of Gilan and were advancing
beyond Sar-I-Pul toward fortified
Paytak Pass.
Gillian is about 20 miles inside Iran,
Sar-I-Pul is about Is miles from
the Iraq border and about IS miles
north of Gilan.
The British declared the advances
in this area we're made against light
opposition and gunfire.
Bandar Shahpur Quiet.
The situation was reported quiet
at the Persian Gulf town of Banbar
Shahpur, near Abadan, which the
British occupied Monday, the first
day of the invasion.
Iranlan troops were said to have
been cleared out OF the entire area
around Adaban, where important
oil installations are situated, by
Indian forces. At least $50 prison.

The transitory nature of our
cabinets was what opened the road

but without q sacrifice Of republican
principles"
Denies French Are Decadent.
What Is your answer to critics
who say that the French people
are broken forever, that they now
are paying the price of long, in
growing, moral decadence?"
"I answer" said Gen. de GauIle,
without flinching or showing resent
ment, that the French people have
never become decadent. The people
are healthy. Only they made the
mistake Of surrendering their gov
ernment to the elite. That elite
proved to be mediocre"
In a final question, the interview
er asked Gen. de Gaulle whether
Syria had given him any solution
to the painful problem of giving
orders to Frenchmen to fight against
Frenchmen.
A quizzical look gathered on Gen.
de Gaulle's face.
The task itself is in that way an
unhappy one,". he said. But when
assumed this work I realized I

For American Aid in

After 36 crowded hours IN the
Nations Capital, interspersed with
trips to Norfolk and Baltimore, the
Duke of Kent was on his way back
TO Canada today.
A reception at the British En-
bassy last night climaXed the trip
OF the younger brother of the King
of England to the United States,

more, reviewed American and
British motor transport troops at
Camp Holabird, and spoke at the
National Press Club. On Monday,
the Duke inspected the Norfolk
Naval Base.
To the assembled newsmen at the
Press Club, the royal visitor ex-
pressed his country's appreciation
for aid received from the United
States and added that the more
you can give us, the quicker we
shall win"
He also told his hosts that your
press has unique facilities for OBJ
tanning detailed and accurate in
formation. I should like to con-
gratulate you upon the noble use
that you are making of them"
Just before the Duke reached the
auditorium platform it was noticed
that, the American flag and the
Union Jack had been hung i'm
properly above the speakers stand
The American standard was quickly
righted. but there was no oppor-
tunity to rearrange the British flag,
and IN consequence, the Duke spoke
beneath standard that was upside
down.

Admiral Bayendor killed. Two

So far there has been no indi-
cation, these diplomatic sources
said, that the Iranian defense has
been anything more than Of the

An armistice, to be followed by q
convention, was predicted, with the
agreement possibly allowing the
Shah to retain power and def

lead, before long, to the other" said
Gen. de Gaulle.
IF America both breaks with
Vichy and recognizes your govern
ment, our people will have gone
further against Vichy than Britain
herself" suggested the interviewer.
Britain has taken the first of these
steps. Should she not also take the
lead in the second? Why, in your
opinion, does not London finally
close the door upon Vichy by recog-
nizing your government"
Gen. de Gaulle answered without
hesitation:
England is afraid. England Is
afraid of the French fleet. What,
in effect, England is carrying on is
wartime deal with Hitler in which
Vichy serves as a go-betWeen. Vichy
serves Hitler by keeping the French
people in subsection and selling the
French empire piecemeal to Ger
many. But do not forget that Vichy
also serves England by keeping the
French fleet from Hitler's hands.
Britain is exploiting Vichy in the
same way as Germany; the only
difference is in purposes. What hap
pens, in effect, is an exchange of
advantages between hostile powers
which keeps the Vichy government
alive as long as both Britain and
Germany are agreed that it should
exist. If Vichy should lend or lose
its feet to the Nazis, Britain would
quickly bring the suspense about
recognition to an end. And if Vichy
should cease serving Hitler and dis
membering its empire for his benefit,
Germany would herself dismantle
Vichy"
Pacific Bases Offered.
When the interviewer shifted the
topic to the Pacific, Gen. de
Gaulle was equally unequivocal and
straightforward.

Of Japanese territory.
I'm view of this fact the Japa-
nese government requested the Sow
let government to elucidate the
question of routes and method of
transport of said shipments.
"Comrade Molotov declared to the
Japanese Ambassador that since a
similar statement had been made by
the japanese Minister for Foreign
Affairs, Mr.. Toyoda, to the Soviet
Ambassador in Japan, Mr.. Smet-
amin, the Soviet government en-
trusted its Ambassador in Toxic to
inform the Minister of Foreign At
fairs as follows:
The Soviet government sees no
ground for anxiety on the part of
Japan in the fact that goods pur-
chased by the Soviet Union in the
United States, ~slIch as the oil and
gasoline which you have mentioned,
will be shipped to the Soviet Union
by usual trade routes, including Far
Eastern Soviet ports. $500
y
No Reason for Anxiety.
Likewise the Soviet government
sees no reason on its own account
for anxiety in the fact that Japan
imports for her needs food from
other states.
The Soviet government deems it
necessary in this connection to state
that 1t could not help regarding any
attempt to hinder normal trade re-
lations between the Soviet Union
and the United States via Far East
ern Soviet ports otherwise than as
an unfriendly act to the U. S. S. r.
The same time the Soviet gov
eminent confirms that goods pur-
chased by the Soviet Union in the
United States are destined in the
FIRST place for the satisfaction of the
growing needs of the U. S. S. r. in
the West in connection with the de-
fensive war imposed upon the Soviet
Union, as we'll as for agricultural
