 Malcolm, who spent the afternoon and early night shutting between Bitter, naval officials and contrac- tors, clarified a nisunderstanding because of which the private con- tractors said they had believed they could not negotiate wage increasas.
 Contractors for six of the eight prospects, involved were operating on coSt-plus-fixed fee basis. They said they had misinterpreted navy instructions and informed the unions that, although they agreed higher wages were in order, they were forbidden to raise costs.
 The unions, Interpreting that as a refusal to negotiate, called the strike.

 Allies Grow Stronger
 During the last few months, while the exploratory" talks have been dragging on here and in Tokyo, the Anglo American position in the Far East is said to have been strength ened, while Japan's precarious and vulnerable position was described as becoming worse.
 Judging from the speech this week of Prime Minister Churchill, 6 sit- uation which the Japanese long have feared now has become an act uality-the addition of British war ships to western Pacific bases. Jap anese naval Strategists have geareo all the.r planning toward a possi- ble clash with the United States but they have admitted privately that a few British war craft, acting in conjunction with the American Navy, would tip the odds hopelessly against Japan in the event of a naval war.
 Navy Secretary Speaks Providence, R. l., Nov. 12-(UP) Secretary of the Navy Frank Knos indicates the United States is fed up with efforts to maintain "amic- able relations" with Japan and that an iron listed policy will guide this nations future action in the Far East.
 The United States has been "long- suffering and patient" toward Japan but "the hour of decision Is here, he said in an Armistice Day speech before the Providence Chamber of Commerce in connection with dedi- cation of the new Quonset naval air base.
 The time has come, he said, when to go further would mean that our liberality and forbearance would be misunderstood Our people must understand that grave questions are about to be decided .. There must be clear realization that we will not shrink from or seek to evade the staggering responsibilities of this hour"
 Secretary Knox declared 1t was impossible to oyeremphasiZe or exaggerate" the grave dangers fac- ing this nation. Tn the Atlantic, he said, there is the necessity of ex- treme measures of self-defense," !" while the far Pacific poses grim possibilities"
 No Man Can Predict
 "Just what the morrow may hold for us" in the Far East" he said, mo man may say with certainty" ." The only thing we can be sure of is
