Warning that postwar con-
ditiOns can be more serious
than they were following the
last war, Frank Fenton, direc.
tor of organization of the
A m e r c M Federation of
Labor, told members of or.
ganized labor and their fami.
lies at the first annual banquet
OF the Bridgeport Central
Labor Union last week that
they must prepare a society
without fear of unemployment
and hunger.
FentOn called for a regen.
Grafton of organized labor's
militant spirit of thinking,
talking and acting about the
problems of the day and pre-
pairing for the near future.
''WON'T TAKE IT,
'sThis is an about war;" he de-
clared. FIFTY per cent of the
wealth of America is being used in
the war effort. When our boys get
back, they're not going to be told
they have no job. They won't take
it this Time"
Fenton urged a more tolerant
attitude toward the Negro, both as
a citizen and a worker. He said
ON this score:
1--WE must face the colored mans
problem. We must see that he is
given a place and opportunity to
support his family i'm this demOc-
racy of ours. Let us remember
that he, too, is fighting on the
battle fronts, and there is no dis
elimination for him there where
bullets are fred"
The speaker urged organized labor
to do away with the bunk about state
rights" and to work for nationwide
social and workmen's legislation of
equal benefits for all labor regardless
of the section of the nation in which
it resides.
An End to Propaganda
Most of the sound principles of
our legislation did not come from pro-
fessors or government leaders, but
from those labor leaders who met in
those dingy halls of yesterday
From those halls has come the philos-
ophy accepted by most right thinking
people. 1t is there that we must meet
and Offset propaganda and rumors
against creeds and religion"
He argued for a balance of
soldiers ON the production line
with those on the firing line for the
winning of the war. He opposed
drafting labor, and struck out at
the efforts i'm Congress to deprive
workers of part of their present
pay by abolishing the forty-hOur
week law.
Mayor Jasper McLevy who spoke
briefly also expressed the opinion that
it would be necessary for labor to meet
constantly and enthusiastically in
order to preserve its gains and adj
vance its cause.
Bernard Opens Banquet
Peter Bernard, president of the
C.L.U, turned the meeting over to

WASHINGTON - A Battle
of the Indian Ocean," growing
out of the echoing crash of
Singapore, suddenly looms as
one of the democracies' biggest
headaches of World War II.
With the Battle of the Allan
tic and the Battle of the Pacific
already straining United Ma

the third ocean would hit the
staggering impact.

puffs out to an average width

INVASION OF
INDIA LOOMS
Now that the Japanese have
the "hot corner" Of Singapore
behind them, they have only to
smash Dutch bases on adjacent
Sumatra and Java to range this
vast new ocean at will, and,
perhaps, uncork an invasion OF
India - the real treasure chest
of the British Empire.
Once the Japanese should be-
come loose In this sprawling
new potential battle-ground, the
democracies' fleets would have
to not only guard India and Aus
tralia from the west, but also
Asia and Africa. In addition, the
japanese repeatedly have de-
signs on the French island OF
Madagascar, off the easter
shores of South Africa.
Although japanese long-range
potentialties in the Indian
Ocean may be especially far
reaching, naval men here fore
see three possible immediate OBJ
jectives of the Japanese Navy:

ma to bottle up the gate OF the

submarine campaign against

to the Chinese through the new
battle area. The campaign would
