Emergency legislation to deal

with strikes in defense plants
through the enactment of law.
The President did, indeed, set up
the National Defense Mediation
Board. Until the boards decision
this week. against John L. Lewis
and his United Mine Workers,
this agency had given labor
pretty much what it wanted. BY
its 9to-2 decision in the captive
coal mine dispute, however. the
board has now brought the Gov
eminent face to face with a
possible knock down, drag out
struggle with the mine workers
union. No one knows what rami-
flCatlonS the contest may have.
Had there been adequate legis-
lation on the statute books-for
example the VinSon bill now
pending on the House calendar
such a situation might have been
avoided entirely. The VinSon bill
as originally reported TO the
House from the House Naval Al
fairs Committee dealt specifically
with the closed shop issue, freez-
ing for the period of the emer-
gency the status Of all shops,
open and closed.
Fascist System Feared.
As each wave OF strikes in
defense industry has grown in
volume, members of Congress
have become more and more in
cenSed and efforts have been
made to get something done. In
every instance. however, until
this last, the President and his
advisers have stood against any
legislation whatever. They have
preferred to go along with eX-
listing conditions, sending the
Army or the Navy into plants
where no agreement could be
reached. II is no real solution of
the evils growing out of strikes
in defense plants to have the
Government take them over.
If the Government takes over in
the end practically all of these
hundreds of plants in which
defense materials are produced,
We will have virtually a fascist
government right here in the
United States. There are those
who charge that this is just what
some persons in this country are
aiming for.
The temper Of the Congress
has become more and more sharp
and bitter as regards strikes in
defense plants. Its most drastic
evidence is the opposition which
Senators Byrd of Virginia and
Tydings of Maryland made to the
armed ship bill in the Senate,
and which Representatives

the Germans. before former
Premier Matsuoka arrived in
Berlin TO sign the Axis pact, to
force the Russians to sign a
favorable treaty with Japan and
received a most unsatisfactory
reply.

have made some unfiattering re-
marks in private about the Nazis
and their political system. Hence

preventing American boys in
the Army camps from receiving
the arms they must have to de-
fend themselves if this country
does go TO war.

Strikes as Usual.
While hundreds of thousands
OF young men have been drafted
into the military service, called
upon to make great sacrifices
and to be ready TO make even
greater-the administration has
permitted strikes as usual in
the plants which are relied upon
to arm these boys. 1t has per-

increase in the wages paid TO

1t is hardly conceivable that
Nazi successes in the Crimea-
even if Sevastopol falls before

reach Washington-could make
any particular impression on the
japanese military. They are pro-
feSsional soldiers who know that
the conquest of the principal
naval base i'll the Black Sea or
even the passage of the four-miie
neck which separates the Crimea
from the Caucasus do not mean
that Russia is any closer TO losing

Nothing short of a spectacular
victory such as the fall of Moscow
or Leningrad could make an i'm

staff And, according TO the best
available military information,
such an eventuality must now be
discarded.
RibbentrOp Concerned.
High Washington officials do
not believe any tangible results
can be achieved in the exchange
Of views between the special Jap
anese envoy and the American
Government. But underneath
this lack of confidence is a feeling
OF optimism. Nothing coming
from Toxic could justify this
feeling, but reports from Berlin
lead officials in Washington to
regard the Far East situation
with more hope than has been
felt recently.
