to camps, naval stations and defense centers throughout the United States and its overseas bases. The government will provide buildings, 1t was explained, and the U. 8. Q. will provide funds for their opera ton and the accompanying program of welfare, education and religious activities.
 "The problem we face," said MT. Flowing, '1s this:
 More than 100000 young A,neri- cans are now in uniform. Many of them are in huge training centers, built in haste to meet @ national emergency. oldiers sometimes out- number, by five or ten times, the adult population of nearby towns and villages.
 "When the soldiers 60 into town by the thousands, evening and week-ends, there is too often no place for them to go, nothing to do, no good rierd to meet the lonely. no morale building recreation. Boys stand aimlessly on the side- walk, wondering what to do, and those who seek to exploit the boys, sometimes viciously, are eager to supply the answer.
 "The United Service Organiza- tions plan to bring our soldiers, sailors, and youth in our defense industries, a measure of the hos- pitality, the spiritual influence and the comfort which the people at home want them to have.
 "Fathers and mothers all over the country, are demanding that this be done. We are acting also at the request of the President of the United States, the Secretary Of War, the Secretary of the Navy, and the Federal Social Security Admiraistra. tor.
 "As more thousands leave for camp, the need grows daily more acute. For that reason we need large advance gifts immediately to help us get our program started, to rent, furnish and staff temporary huts for the soldiers and sailors.
 Tn the meantime, as fast as we can, we will organize the natton- wide appeal to all citizens for the money needed for a full years op- eration."
 Headquarters
 Initial gifts to the United Service Organizations for National Defense, Inc, 1t was explained, should be sent to its offices in the Empire State Building in New York city.
 Preliminary plans for the build ings which the U. s. O. member agencies will operate provide for 6 central entertainment hall seating 800, reading end game rooms, lunch counters, lockers, showers and gen. eral service club facilities.
 The agencies, 1t was explained, are also planning to use their ex- isting facilities to the fullest pos- sible extent in serving soldiers and sailors, and also workers in defense industries.
 The Y. w. 0. A., for example, is developing plans for defense work. CTS, in places where local resources are inadequate. Typical of these emergencies are great defense in. dustries, such at powder works, which are being built far from the cities and larger towns and are drawing thuosards of young women workers away from their homes.
 The program of the agencies, 1t was explained, is designed to meet needs of serving soldiers, sailors and defense workers over and above what local communities are already doing and are expected to continue to do.

 William Donovan, district direc- tor of the Steel Workers Organi- zing Committee (CIO) said the stoppage at Ferro Machine was "an illegal strike by few men having grievances in the core department" :" He said immediate efforts would be made to adjust the dispute.
 A company official said that 65 per cent of the firms production consisted of parts for army tanks. diesel engines and other machinery designed for defense purposes.
 He said work was halted last night when about 800 core workers struck in violation of our union agreement" Wage grievances were blamed for the work stoppage. but the company said no complaints had been brought to them through 6 grievance committee.

Courage OF
Continued from Page One)

Senator Mcfarland said the
question of whether Hitler would
attack this country had been re-
moved by Hitler himself, when he
wrote, II guarantee that at the
right moment new America will
exist as our strongest supporter
when we are ready to take the
stride into overseas space.
Senator Mcfarland expressed con-
fidence that with United States
aid under the lease-lend bill, Great
Britain can turn the tide of this
war and either overwhelm Hitler
on force him to a reasonable
peace"
j: Can Strengthen Others
i, believe" he said, that if we
render effective aid to Britain we
can keep alive the hopes and cour-
age Of the French, the Belgians, the
Danes and other conquered peoples
for the day when they can throw
the strength and resistance of
which they are capable into the
battle on the side of democracy.
Il believe that if we render eff
fective aid to Britain, we can
morally strengthen the resolve of
the Greeks, the Turks, and the re-
manning free peoples of Europe not
to surrender to the axis jugger-
niaut.
Il believe that if we render eff
fective aid to Britain, even if the
worst happens and she eventually
falls in spite of our aid, we will
have purchased invaluable time for
the preparation of our defense
while the axis has been exhausting
It's man power and resources in the
struggle with Britain.
This, then" he added, 'is the
picture which we have up to date.
America has courageously faced
the facts"
Senator Mcfarland stressed that
this country is faced with the
necessity of throwing all of its
resources into the struggle.
1T is a task which will
grievously try u.s. he said. "If
we are to succeed in it, each
one of us will have to make
sacrifices. Each will have to
give a little more than his ac-
customed effort. Each will
have to take a little less of
; material gain than he has
learned to expect. Those Of us
who have been quick to criticize
must learn to be tolerant.
1.-The spirit of party unity ex-
hibited here tonight is proof we
will meet the test. We will be
proud of the principles of democ-
rarcy given us by Thomas .Jeffer-
son and Andrew Jackson.
Describes Hardships
In opening his address, Senator
Mcfarland described the hardships

Strikes And Labor Laws

THE difficulty with the present management of the
strikes and labor laws in this country is that the
employer has no friend in court
Regardless of the merits Of the case, the
ableness of the demand the employer is always
wrong. He has to submit his plant will in effect
be taken away from him.

Tying Up Defense Work

THE radical labor leaders tying up defense work
by calling strikes over petty details.
If they, because of their strikes, slow up the de-
fense program enough to permit Hitler to win the
war they will soon discover that workers under Hit
lers scheme of government don't strike. They work
and when and for what he says they shallor else
We are definitely headed for period of rising
prices in every commodity The rise will not begin
to be felt until present stocks consumed and all
idle labor employed in defense industry Prices will
then begin to advance. There is scarcely commodity
that will not cost more within year.
Colorado voted 3 to in favor of pension and 100
to 1 against tax to pay for it. Sounds typical OF
this country the past few years. AS long as the other
fellow is paying for it nothing is quite enough.
Here is something to think about from the pen Of
neghboring editor: No red flag ever floated over
Ia farm.
The best way to secure the repeal Of bad law is
to insist always upon it's strict enforcement to the
spirit and the letter. If it is a bad law public senti
ment will turn against it quickly if it is enforced and
set about its repeal.
European nations when it comes to dealing with Hit
ler When Hitler attempted his lies and palaver
with Turkey he was informed that against his hand
full of brdshot reassurances stands million Turkish
bayonets

working on the defense projects receive eggs would

Nazis Can't Invade u. S.

NO military authority in this country believes an
~ vasion of America by Germany is possible says
John T. Flynn in the leading article Of the current
Readers Digest.
Flynn appraises the question "Can Hitler Invade
Americans Should disabuse themselves of the pan
icky illusion that they must help Britain because
victorious Hitler would conquer America next.
"When Hitler turned ON England Flynn says,
"there was the English Channel-only % miles wide
at it's narrowest point. Ten months after France
fell he still had not attempted to that
row strip Of water with soldiers or tanks When he
attempts to invade the United States-or Canada
he would face the problem Of crossing with his armies
5000 miles of the Atlantic Ocean and confronting not
50000000 people ON small island with small natural
resources, but vast nation with 130O0O,O00 people
and resouces far exceeding his own. -.
Germany, even with the British fleet would not
have complete command of the seas. The American
navy would have to be wiped out Two things must
be remembered First, at the end of this war the
American navy would be larger than the German
navy and the British navy combined Second, Ger
many would have to do it's naval fighting this side
of the ocean :G. \ = &.x-
Quoting President Roosevelt's message to Congress
of January 9th that, "Even if there British
navy it is not probable any enemy would be stupid
enough to attack by landing troops in the United
States from across thousands of miles of ocean,
til it had acquired strategic bases from which to oper
ate Flynn cites this "a complete admission that in
vasion is impossible from the lips of who has
done than any other to frghten with the fear
of invasiOn.'

The administration is paying for having nur-
tured and fostered and humored the radical labor
leaders, The President says that the defense pro-
gram must not be obstructed by unnecessary strikes,
but if it isn't it will be because the employers yield
every point regardless of whether the demands are
fair or justified.

half help our friends"
Says Hitler Is Watching.
One of three Republicans who
made the first move 10 days ago
to wipe the neutrality law out en-
tirely, Senator Gurney told his COL
leagues today that Hitler is watch
ing the current proceedings, hop
ing that we continue our half
hearted, halfway action"
The crushed and bleeding ma
tions," he went on, suffering the
brutal 100 for / edicts of the con-
queror are watching and praying for
a sign. They are hoping to see
old Glory run up on the very tip
of the masthead, proclaiming to the
world that We, the people Of Amer
lea. are awake to the emergency
and ready to take full strides that
freedom shall not perish from the
earth"
Senator Gurney declared earlier
that this Nation wants Hitler
stopped and intends to see that he
shall be stopped.
Why not say so, here and now?'
he asked. Why mock the intelli-
gence of the American people? Do
you put so low an estimate on the
perspicacity of your own constit-
uency as to think they will be i'm
pressed by removing the heart OF
the Neutrality Act and still retain
ing the mockery OF its titf?. Let
us act like red-blooded men and
have done with this foolishness."
As the debate continues. eight
Senators apparently held the power
to make the 'Senate's expected re-
vision either a substantial admin
istration triumph or the close thing
that opponents predict.
81 Listed for Repeater.
An independent check by the
Associated Press showed 81 Senators
publicly or privately committed to
support of the broader legislation,
with 81 listed as definitely against it.
Since only - votes would be
needed for its adoption. that action
seemed to be a foregone conclusion.
But the eight senators listed as
undecided" among the chamber S
96 could make the vote relatively
close by joining the opposition or
could give the administration a
substantially large majority by 60
ing the other way.
These eight are Senators Adams Of
Colorado. Downey of California.
Gerry of Rhode Island, Russell of
Georgia, Smith Of South Carolina,
Tydings Of Maryland, all Democrats,
and Brewster and White, Maine Re-
pubucans
The prospect that there would be
a half dozen or more absentees, thus
reducing the total vote to 80 or less,
intensified the bidding for their sup
port. The oppositions strength was
apparently less likely to be affected
by absentees, than the administra-
tion's.
Psychological Effect.
Beyond that. both sides were
striving for the largest vote possible
for the psychological effect on the
House when it is called on to con-
slider the Senate changes.
Administration leaders remained
confident, however, that once the
committee amendment had been at
tached to the bill. they could muster
a much larger vote for its final ap-
proval.
