Labor Legislation!
Presidents Next Move Depends on National De. fense Mediation Boards Ruling on the
 Captive Mine Strike Situation.
DREW PEARSON nd ROBERT S. ALIEN lCn. Authors of the Mashngton eNIerrx Cio.Roundnl

Washington, Nov. 2 - A lot more than the question of the closed shop in captive" mines will be decided by the National Defense Mediation Boards ruling on this controversy.
 Behind the scenes there is also involved the Presidents next move on new labor legislation.
 If the NOME succeeds in settling the mine fight peacefully, the chances are strong that the legisla- ton plan will be shelved. The view held at the White House is that a controlling precedent would be es- tablished that will make compulsory mediation in defense labor disputes unnecessary.
 Lewis is the leading foe of the NOME. He dislikes Chairman Will Davis personally and has consist ently pot-shotted at the board from its start. If the board can chalk up a record of mediating a dispute in which he is involved, the White House feels that Lewis's opposition will be torpedoed and the board s authority firmly established.
 However, if the board proves in- effectual in ending the mine dis pute. then the president is ready to go immediately to congress with a bill.
 The measure would outlaw all strikes in defense industries and impose compulsory arbitration for the duration of the national emer- gency. The law would be modelled after the Railway Mediation Act, which provides for a so-called cooling off" period, but would go further and prohibit strikes entire ly. All defense labor disputes would have to be arbitrated by a Govern mental Agency whose rulings would be binding on both parties, under heavy penalties for defiance or vio- iation.

THE CONSCIENCE FUND

In 1911 the Treasury at Washington
started an account called the conscience
fund" into which was placed remittance
from remorseful citizen who had evaded
a federal tax.
In the 1919 years since the fund was
started it has received nearly million dol
lars. a considerable amount of balm for
guilty consciences.
A recent check came from a former
dourhboy who pilfered some chocolate
candy bars from government supply truck
in France during the World War. He sent
So to nav for the stolen sweets.
The conscience fund" would swell to
enormous proportions if all Americans who
have evaded their indebtedness to the Gov
ernmel-t would follow the example of those
who have already repented of their sins
against Uncle Sam. Ill
Every year. merchandise which would
WELD large sums i'm customs duties is sneak
ed into the country by tourists returning
home after foreign vacations, as well as by
professional smugglers.
There is widespread evasion also of
many federal taxes, particularly the income
tax. for which many have been severely
punished.
The Americans who have poured
money into the conscience fund" ap-
parently decided. after thinking it over,
that one should be as honest with the Gov
ernment as with his fellow citizens.

SQUARE DEAL
WITH STRIPES
BY MARGARET KEHNoDLE
AP Feature Service Writer

You can give your studio couch
a new square look when you make
that next slip cover.
It's a tricky idea and easy to
execute. You change the appear
ance by using a striped fabric for
the cover.
You match stripes into dia-
mond-shaped squares on the top
of the cover. but make the stripes
run horizontally around the sides.
Eight yards of 50-inch fabric
viii be enough material. The cost
will be about six dollars if you do
the simple sewing at your ma
chine and make use of the attach
ments. Your local sewing center
can show you shortcuts perhaps.
For a four-by-six couch, cut
four square pieces of equal size
to cover the top, allowing an inch
on all sides for seams. In match
ing the pieces, allow the stripes
of two squares to 60 one way, the
others at right angles. Stitch
these together half an inch from
the edge with flat inside seams,
For the skirt, cut two 50-by -22-
inch pieces so that stripes are
horizontal along the 22-inch sides.
Then cut four pieces the same
length but only 81 inches wide.
Stitch two of these into one strip
"a inches long end % inches wide
and the remaining two pieces the
same way.
Now you can join the four long
and short strips and stitch them
with the cording foot attachment
into a box-like arrangement. The
skirt is joined to the top with a
corded edge.

CAN YOU UNDERSTAND THE JAPS?

japanese statesmen insist that the peo-
pie of the United States do not understand
the motives of Japan. They declare that
Japan is working for peace, even when she
uses the bayonet, and that the new order
will be regime of benefit to the entire
world.
In his first conference with the rep
resentatives of foreign newspapers, For
eign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka answered
questions Asked to explain Japan's uitl-
mate aim in the South Seas, he replied that
it was to establish sound understanding
so that we can trade and carry on peaceful
development"
This of course, represents so much
nonsense. There were no barriers to Jap
anese trade in the South Seas, before the at
tack on China, except those that likewise
applied to all nations. The Chinese, 1t is
true. were attempting to develop nationally,
but the japanese had the same trading
riohts in China that belonged to other
nations.
If the United States sent warships to
Singapore, it would become the subject OF
very serious consideration declared Mat
suoka, pronouncing it "a very dangerous
problem" He said Japan confined herself
to ''this part of the world and did mot pass
Judgment upon what the United States does
in the West" In other words, Japan gives
us a free hand in the West and asks a free
hand in the Far East.
To superficial minds this seems like
an even proposition but there is vast dill
ference between the treatmnt that the
United States accords the nighboring re-
publics of the Western Hemisphere and the
policy of conquest that Japan applies in the
Far East. In this hemisphere the United
States does not attempt to prevent the
smaller republics from trading with otner
nations, including Japan, but many experts
assert that the Japanese purpose in CHINA
is to exclude the commerce OF other nations.
Asked about the status quo in the Far
East. the Japanese cabinet official SAID that
japan had no intention of preventing
changes ''but she has no territorial ambl-
tions" being against conquest, oppression
and exploitation" Greater East Asia,
where Japan claims special rights, included
in his opinion, Thanland (Siam) and Burma
and goes as far as New Caledonia but ex-
cludes Australia and New Zealand.
Again and again he reiterates I'VE are
against conquest" but when asked what
Japan is doing in China, he says that he has
made up his mind mot to talk about what
we are doing but to go our own way, ad-
hitting that sit may take half a century, and
then the world will know how sincere we
are" Phrased beautifully, it seems to US,
is Matsuokas idea that Japan is travelling
toward perfect equality between Japan and
China
Discussing the possibility of war be-
tween the United States and Japan. the
Foreign Minister thought there would be
no trouble if both nations mind their own
business and keep their heads cool. or
course. Japan is ''in honor bound" to fight
if the United States attacks Germany but,
he added, only if Japan is satisfied that the
limited States started the trouble.
