script individuals, the more monde
script the better. They are to
be found in key positions in
drawing and designing depart
ments of the munition factories;
underpaid small time officials in
foreign embassies, legations and
government offices.
They are miserable little worms
as rule and peddle their coun-
try's secrets for the sake of the
money gained alone, and singularly
enough this is generally a mere
pittance.
PSYCHOLOGICAL POINT
That there are men still in
existence who will risk their lives
in wartime for the insignificant
fees grudgingly doled out to them
by the foreign power for whom
they risk all is a problem for the
/ psychologists.
Yet the type exists in uncom-
Ifortably large numbers.
When they go there are more
to take their places. All that is
required of them is monkey clev-
erness rather than real intelli-
gence. for what intelligent man
would risk such a lot for so
little.
With counter-espionage methods
as advanced as they2are, their ulti-

fair regard for the public interest would always be observed
 But interunion rivaries must not carry to the point where they impede the progress of national defense and play actually into the hands of the Axis powers It would be well for union leaders to keep mind in these days what has occurred to the trade union movement in those nations, and also how it has flourshed in Great Britain, in time
 The labor leadership of the United States is af forded an excellent opportunity in this crisis to prove that it is big and public spirited and able to rise above the petty issues which in the past have been allowed to interrupt important industrial operations
 Before the new outbreak of strikes, affecting more than $50O00000O Of snpbuilding pro- jects the West Coast, along with other phases of the rearmament program, there had been encour aging lull in industrial disputes It might have been the result of a number of factors. Perhaps it was to the dramatic emphasis upon national defense needs which was created by the German blitzkrieg in the Balkans Perhaps it was partly in response to the wave of public feeling engendered by the long series of strikes. Perhaps to some degree it reflected the sinister influence of Soviet foreign policy upon certain American labor offcials-the shadow of a party line which wavered for several weeks between the Kremlns friendship pact with Yugosavia before the Nazi blitzkrieg and its with drawal of recognition of Yugoslavia after Germany had engulfed the Balkans.
 Whatever their cause, strikes in progress today are reprehensible and cannot be tolerated.
 Ships are going down in the Atlantic, precious ships ships which may mean the difference between survival and extinction of democracy, ships which may decide whether the right to strike is to exist anywhere in this world, ships filled with the arma ments which constitute Americas answer to Hitler's challenge. - E
 Even with conveys we may not be able to keep every ship from going down. But keep ships going upon the ways of Americas shpyards. That this nation intends to do. It will not tolerate inter ference with that objective in this grave hour, when every vessel counts double in maintaining democ- racys bridge to Britain last citadel of freedom in Europe Ea
 We say it seriously. Uncle Sam can't qubble on this strike Unlike most which have gone before, it is a strike against him. Such a challenge simply must be met, swiftly and decsively That large num- bers of patriotic union men have broken away from their headstrong leaders and returned to work is a good sign. But it is not good enough. The causes of dscord such as have been raging on San Fran cisco Bay for the past month simply must be plucked out by the roots.

SLUGGER LEWIS

That half-page newspaper ad sponsored by Southern coal operat- ors bitterly. denouncing John L. Lewis and charging him with "dic- tator' ambitions, had an unadver- tised sequel.
 It occurred several days after the ad appeared at the meeting of op- orators and miners called by the Defense Mediation Board in another try at reaching an agreement be- tween the warning groups. The conference took place in the spacious OPM council chamber used by the board for such pow-wows.
 AS usual, Lewis made a solo entry after everybody else was seated. With all eyes on him, he roared into action.
 Eyes flashing with anger, he told the operators that their ad was personal insult to him; that since they had descended to dealing. in personalities he was prepared to settle their differences on that basis.
 T challenge any of you" Lewis declared, ito step outside and fight it out man to man"
 There were no takers. ''-'''''' Lewis sat down and the delibera tions got under way.
