WASHINGTON = Are the nu-
merous strikes in defense indus
tries Gripping the United States
az they did France where. many
contend, they led To her crushing
defeat by Germany last spring?
This Ia a question being turned
over In every congressional mind,
for congress may soon have to vote
on bills that would forbid strikes
In defense industries and severely
pcnalize the men who order them.
In some ways the French story
points up the American scene. The
two high spots Of similarity are:
ID Leon Blum, Socialist, pre-
mier OF a popular front coalition
of parties OF the left. gave France
series OF laws which were called
the French New Deal because they
resembled many of Americas New
Deal laws.
20 Before Blum took office,
then after he assumed the premier
ship and later under his successor,
Premier Daladier. the industry of
France. particularly that connect
I'd with defense, was paralyzed by
strikes-just as American defense
industry has been held up by
strikes this spring.
