Conference Called
To Mobilize Opinion
Against Axis
Democratic Victory
Group Will Meet
Here Tomorrow

Mobilization of public opinion
against the Axis powers and in
support of the permanent triumph
of the democracies is the purpose
of the Conference for Democratic
Victory called to meet at 10 am.
tomorrow at the Hay-Adams House.
Hugh Moore will preside at the
conference. Joining him in its spon-
sorship are Carl M. Eichelberger,
acting chairman and national di-
rector OF the Committee to Defend
America by Aiding the Allies, and
Louis Dolivet, former member of
the French air force, now executive
secretary of the International Peace
Campaign.
Political Strategy Sought.
Mr.. Moore, who is chairman of
the Executive Committee of the
Committee to Defend America by
Aiding the Allies and president of
the American Union for Concerted
Peace Efforts, explained that the
meeting Is being held in the belief
that the development of a genuine
political strategy of the democr attic
forces may not only help shorten
the war, but will facilitate an Allied
offensive in Europe and Asia"
A group of prominent Americans
expected to attend the conference
will be joined by number OF advo-
Gates of democracy from otner
countries, including those emba actled
against totalitarian aggression and
exiled subjects Of Axis countries
Mr.. Moore pointed out today that
before the war the international
Federation of League of Nations
Societies, the International Peace
Campaign and the American Union
for Concerted Peace Efforts were
the outstanding movements devoted
to crmpeign of education in favor
of collective security and interna-
tional law. Strong support of their
principles, he said. still is found
in Crest Britain, China, Sweden,
Swi ~o"''ard ard in some OF the
British domin.onS and in certain
Latin American countries.
Continuation of Work.
"There is intense concern in many
countries, he added, that this work
started before the war, should con-
tinue during the war In addition.
resistance against the Axis powers
will be immensely strengthened if
it is known that there is a real
democratic movement grouping all
progressive forces of humanity
fighting for victory for the democ-
racies and preparing public opinion
for postwar basis of world order.
The conferees, it was explained,
will not discuss policies. Of the
American Government or of any
other country. but will carry on
discussions described as "a natural
continuation of prewar activities
in the interest Of democracy"

Union men with high school edu-

Single men in organized labor are
more in favor of military conscrip-
ton than their married co-workers
Miss Chamberlen said. As union
men grow older, they become more
pro- labor in their attitude.
These findings were based on stud
les of several unions. One of these
the identity of which was withheld

This particular union, Miss Cham

Found to Be Least Militant

and a large proportion of its growth
is due to the flow of high school
graduates into its membership.
If this trend continues, she added,
the increasing proportion OF the
high school men may make the
union as a whole less militantly pro-
labor and even may bring about a
change In It's basic attitude.
Miss Chamberlen expressed the
belief that the relative lack of labor
militancy among the high school
element was due to its limited ex-
perience in industrial economics. In
general those workers having only
grade school educations have long
experience on jobs and those going
into industry from college have
freshly in mind some of the newer
sociological teachings and may har-

Wang Chine-wei Will Be
Overnight Guest Of
Emperor in Toxic

BY A. L. SlEELE.
Foreign Correspondent of The Star n

Foreign Correspondent of The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
SHANGHAI. June 14.-Wang
Ching-wei president of the Nanking
government, is en- route to Japan
today in a supreme effort to win
for his regime the authority and
power which the japanese Army
long ago promised but never granted.
Wang hurried through Shanghai
from his capital under heavy mill
tary protection and it was net until
he was securely aboard the Japanese
vessel Yawata Maru that his gov
ernment and the japanese deemed
it safe to make public the an
nouncement of his state visit to
! Japan.
Will Be Emperor's Guest.
1t was an undignifled departure
for a man who will be the overnight
guest of the japanese Emperor and
who will confer with all the highest
! officials in Japan. In order to make
sure that there will be no ShootingS
on the Yawata, most of the advance
reservations of the ship were can
celed.
Unable to induce the japanese
militariStS to remove the numerous
economic and political shackles re-
sponsible for the powerlessn"ss of
the Nanking regime, Wang is car
rving his case to the very godhead
of the japanese Empire, hopeful
that Toxic can be persuaded to
order the necessary reforms.
Wang was preceded to Toxic by
Kumatara Honda, Japanese Ambas-
sador to Marking. who shocked ia
pan a month ago with his fortnight
criticisms of the japanese policy in
China. What Honda and Wang are
demanding are (a) enlargement of
the political and economic author
ity of the Marking regime, (b) modi-
fication of trade restriction, monop-
olies and monetary practices from
which the Japanese Army is grow
ing fat at the expense of the Chi
nese people. and (c) abandonment
of the dual policy of supporting
Nanking, on the one hand. and try
ing to negotiate peace with Gen.
eralissimo Chang Kai-shek, on the
other
Wants Axis Recognition.
Wang also wants the recognition
of Italy and Germany. The Axis
powers SO far have lodged the sorry
gesture of extending recognition of
the Marking regime. which owes its
existence solely to the protection of
the Japanese Army. The accom-
plishments of the Wang regime
since its Inauguration more than a
year ago have been unimpressive
and even those were made possible
only through resort to gangsterism,
terrorism and kidnapings No doubt,
more than 90 per cent of the pop
ulation of China. including many
persons within the Marking govern
ment, are still morally behind
Chang.
1t will take heroic measures to
breathe real life into the Nanking
regime Toxic will undoubtedly
promise much, but it will take more
than halfway measures to resur-
rect Wang's ruined prestige.
