Briton Predicts General Strike In The U. s.

LONDON, Nov. 13 (4) - The prediction that the United States labor situation may be leading up to a general strike is simply due to the inexperience of trade union leaders," was put forward in the opening of parliamentary debate on the British war policy.
 The possibility was pointed out by Austin Hopkinson, independ- ent, in support of his statement that despite U. S. contribution to Britain, the enemy has greater production and uses that cap acity very much better than we do." Hopkinson said "it is all very we'll to point to the United States, but people don't realize in this country what industry in the United States is going thru in the present generation.'

Japan Prepares For Event Of Hostile Situation

UNDATED, Nov. l3 (4) - Tn the Far East crisis, the Japanese government is reported prepar- ing of a hostile situation" in the event that negotiations with the United States collapse. That ev- entuality was freely predicted by some quarters in Washington. Senator Murray, member of the Foreign Relations Committee, declared ,sFhere Is definite pos sibility that the United States may go to war witt Japan" He said the mission of the Japanese special envoy, Kurusu, appeared pretty futile"
 Kurusu, making a stopoVer at Honolulu on his flying trip to Washington said. il was the com mon responsibility of the United States and Japan to keep peace in the Pacific. He described his task as "very important and very difficult Unoficially Kurusu said he bears "a last chance of fer to the United States to avoid an explosion in the Orient, by recognizing Japan's "co-prosper- ity sphere in the east and Asia, and halting aid to China.
 Commenting on Churchill's statement that Britain will fight alongside the United States in a war with Japan, Kurusu declar- ed; He might as we'll have said he had breakfast this morning.
 Senator Murray told reporters that Japan must get out of China if there is to be any agree ment.'

Why We Prepare

Stephen Early, President Roosevelts secre-
tarv. addressed the Editorial Association OF
Minnesota at St. Paul recently. Because OF
his position, it is fair to assume that what he
said not only had the sanction of the Chief Elk
ecutive but probably also embodied the ad-
ministration's view of the war crisis.
The object Of this country, said MIR. Early,
is to keep the war away from the United States
las far as possible and as long as possible"
# we are swift, if we work hard enough and
well enough, we shall be successful" This,
of course, is also the opinion Of all Americans
who have taken the trouble to examine the
causes of the war and the purposes of the
war.makers.
Mr.. Early explained to the Minnesota edi-
tors that America has undertaken this task
because it is convinced there is a worldwide
movement on the other side Of the water which
seriously contemplated world dominion. After
examining the evidence, he said, this con-
clusion has been reached, because "they dhe
dictators) speak of the divine right Of certain
leaders to rule the world; that they insist their
world cannot live with any other world; that
if and when they finish off England they will
square accounts with the United States"
Promises of the Axis powers, he said, not to
go beyond certain areas, not attack certain
nations, have been made continuously since
1888, but 'the world is filled with the corpses
of nations which relied on those promises. . .
There is one thing that the masters in any
dictatorial regime know. 1t is that the exist
ence anywhere of a free and living society is
a deadly menace to them"
Mr.. Early's address was a simple statement
of facts-not suggestions, not possibilities or
hysterical im~aginings. Hitler himself has re-
peatedly told the world what he proposes to
do, and has shown the world that he is not
lacking in power to do it. Ten nations have
fallen under his attack and Great Britain is
lighting for life because the German Fuehrer
is obsessed with the belief that he can. actu.
ally, conquer the world.
Are we, then, to heed the word of the ap-
peasers, who steadfastly declare til e Axis
gangsters have no idea of turning their at
tention to us, once Europe is fully conquered?
Rather let us take the realistic view and not
only prepare our own defenses but so equip
Britain that she may end the war in Europe.

grease. Nor are we Inclined to dispute inc
commissions contention that something can
be contributed to hemisphere solidarity by
increasing consumption of this important Cen
trail American export"
BY all means let us consume more bananas
if that is going to improve relations with our
neighbors. But it seems to us that there are
infinitely better ways of accomplishing this
than by launching ships with them. Even II
this country has no means of shipping the
bananas to the starving people Of Europe there
must be many Americans who are not toe
well off who would relish a few more bananas
in their daily diet.
