REMOVE DEFENSE BARRIERS

Suspension by President Roosevelt of the eight hour law for aborers and mechanics employed by the Government in constructing Army and Navy bases the Atlantic is which should be ex- tended into the realm of all defense construction and industry
 The Washington dispatch telling of the executive order suspending the regulation mentions the extra ordinary emergency which makes 1t necessary. Our entire defense effort confronts an extraordinary emergency today
 The purpose of the eight-hour day and 4O-hour week is to extend employment to the millions our industrial plant has not been able to take of in recent years. That is admirable purpose but it is one which we may very well have to abandon for the present in the face of the extraordinary emergency of defending America and democracy.
 American labor leaders who do not want to sacrifice any of their rights and privileges to speed up the rearmament program would do well to con- slider thoughtfully statement of the attitude of British labor toward the war as expressed by Harold J Laski professor of political science at the London School of Economies, who for years has been in- fuential spokesman Of the British Labor party.
 Though British labor distrusted Chamberlain and refused to enter the Chamberlain cabinet, it supported the war Prof Lask says, because it rec ognized in Hitler the worst enemy the working class has known in modern times.
 Not cooperating full partner in the Churchill government and recognizing that the successful out of the depends upon production, which in turn depends on the trade unions, the British Labor party has agreed to everything that will intensity production All regulations which hinder productive effort and the right to strike have been sus- pended for the duration of the war.
 In temporarily relinqushng some of it's rights and privileges for the sake of a common front Brit ish labor has lost sight Of its ultimate objectives which, as stated by Prof Laski are a new social order in Britain to replace a system based an unequal and privileged society and a new interna-

Federal Security Administrator McNutt, recently made defense health coordinator, did little snip ing at McReynolds by calling the Presidents attention to the fact that the Defense Commission does not have chairman to preside at its meetings. McReynolds has served as presiding cfficer-a fact well known to Roosevelt.
 But he gave no indication of this when he replied smilingly to Me Mutt That's simple, Paul. At your next meeting, why don't you elect a chairman? That will solve the prob lem"
 McReynolds, sitting next to Me autt, said nothing.

e,G. G.nlson and Knox and their assis- tans, Patterson and Forrestal, atrongly urged this formula. They wanted a supreme council of Stim- Icn, Knox and Knudsen to run the whole defense show.
 McReynolds, Smith and BrownloW also backed this military scheme and Roosevelt agreed to it-with one ad- ditien. He added Labor in the per sen of Defense Commissioner Sidney Hillman.
 Finally, when all of the defense chiefs assembled with him last week Roosevelt talked for an hour ex- planning the new set-up He stressed two points: one, that labor is insep- arable from management as a key factor in the defense program.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
SUNDAY, JANUARY

This is not an important day in planetary direction. It is a propi- tious time for seeking the solace of religion and the churches should benefit. Bad news regarding a leader in national affairs is fore cast.
 Heart and Home: Under this configuration there may be unrest and depression which affect all members of the family. Fears of every sort should be combated and good cheer cultivated. "The best time is now has been recommend ed as a good sentence to keep in mind. Neither the past nor the fu- tme should fix attention, for l94l is to bring plenty Of work and un- selfish service
 Business Affairs: Building will be widespread in the States where op- erationS are not hampered by se- we're winter weather. Heads q. families will secure homes, even at advanced costs, if they are far- seeing. Construction of factories and extensive plants will stimulate growth in interior cities. Training for highly technical trades will be imperative and will be introduced in many schools and colleges.
 National Issues; While national defense causes concentration of many activities in Washington. D. C., there will be efforts in vari- ous states to assure individual prosperity through the development of special resources and industries. Agriculture will engage attention in places where it has been neg lected and in the West splendid success will be gained in the culti- vation of long neglected lands.
 International Affairs: The con- junction of Jupiter and Saturn next month is read as presaging the sudden ending of war and should IlCl dld lllC 6idFClit Oi I'SoSC " ASHo. Since the planet Pluto has power in the second World War world progress is stimulated. AS the great democracies are determined that the changed order shall not be &C., cording to the plan of Hitler, there will be intense conflict with the aim of a permanent peace. Five years of struggle before complete overcoming of evil forces has been forecast, but many astrologers do not agree with this.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ups and downs with good fortune pre- dominating. Letters should be writ ten cautiously.
 Children born On this day prob- ably will be original in ideas, bril- liant in mind and strong in char acter. They may be restless and difficult to direct, but deserve the best possible care and education.

Roosevelt put the same question to the others present and received similar assurances. Then, as the meeting broke up, remarked, with unmistakable intent, that in the fu- ture all dollar-a-y -year-man appoint ments were to be submitted to him for advance approval.
 Several complaints have come to the White House against certain business men whom MeReynolds has permitted to be put in key positions on the Defense Commission staff Roosevelt appears determined to stop this.
