Women Protest
BoHermokers'
Union Ban
Ev the Associated Press.


SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. g.
Twenty-Five women shipyard work
ers, refused clearance by the AFL
Boilermakers and Welders Union
for work at the Sausalito yards of
Marinship, gathered angrily in front
of union headquarters yesterday
protesting the unions stand.
The women, mostly welders, we're
told by Ed Rainbow, the union S
business agent, that Nationwide
referendum was being conducted on
the question of admitting women
welders into the union, and that
results were awaited.
A spokesman said the union has
refused clearance to women for
about ten days. ever since two
women workers were discharged for
what the union described as con-
duct unbecoming lady welders."
The union used that as an ex-
cuse and simply refused to clear
any more women" he said.
Mr.. Rainbow said the ban applied
only to shipyards on the west side
of San Francisco Bay, Many wo-
men are employed at the Richmond
and Moore yards in the east bay.

One of the questions to be con-

ligous war.
Mr.. Martin said the committee on
social and moral welfare is expected
to go on record as stating that this
is a religious war.

Virginia, parts Of West Virginia,

to expect women in munitions fac

locals. The defense program has
repeatedly suffered because con-
tracts and agreements made by the
representatives Of the A. F.. L. and
the C.tI. o. were not accepted and
adhered to by their locals. The
committee believes they should take
steps to see to it that their agree
ments and pledges are carried out
by their locals. Problems as
important as the labor problem
should not be left to solve them
selves, and small groups of labor
must not be permitted to set at
naught agreements made by labor
after months of negotiation with
industry and Government and ap-
proved by the majority. For that
reason the committee believes that
legislation with respect to the labor
problem should be given careful
consideration"

larly to the Philippines, where
the enemy can find food and
water supplies, but no war ma
terial, gasoline or oil supplies. for
these were all destroyed by Gen.
Douglas Macarthur when he
retreated.
The Japanese have no easy
task in Luzon. They are expend-
ing large quantities OF ammuni-
ton and their tanks and armored
units are using good deal Of
gasoline and oil. In order to keep
these in operation "a hours a day
they must bring fuel and am
munition from their land bases.
So long as the Asiastic Fleet was
compelled to watch without at
tacking. the Japanese had their
own way.
Purely Defensive Period Ended.
The period of purely defensive
action on the part Of the United
States Fleet appears to have
come to an end, but we must
not be too expectant of any spec
tacular action in the South Pa
cific in the next few weeks.
Henceforth, the japanese will
find it much more difficult to re-
inforce their fighting force in
LuZon because the Asiatic Fleets
raids-of which the sinkings an
nounced Friday were the first
real fruits-will be greatly in
tensified.
Admiral Thomas C. Hart has
studied the Pacific war for many
years. Like many other Navy
officers he knew it was inevitable.
He also knew that the cocksure-
ness generated in the United
States by the belief that "the
Japanese are too broke to tight
q f1rst-class power" made 1t GER
tain that we would have to take
1t on the chin in the first few
months Of conflict.
Accordingly, Admiral Hart
planned his strategy on the as
sumption that the Asiatc Fleet
would lose Cavite as . base Of
operations. He also assumed
that the fleet might not be able
to use even Singapore; conse-

The Great Game of Politics
Mrs. Roosevelt Criticized for Tokinq
Port in Three Controversial Matters

And, OF course. 1t Is not possible to
disassociate Mrs. Roosevelt from her
White House connection. which Is
what gives her words weight.
Raises Racial Issue.
Hardly had resentment over this
incident subsided before she barged
into another highly controversial
field, raising the race issue in
speech before a group of Washing
ton women. She was quoted in The
Evening Star as saying that the Ma
ton cannot expect the colored
people to feel that the United States
is worth defending If they continue
to be treated rs they are being
treated now.
But this expression against race
discrimination by no means ended
Mrs. Roosevelt's extension of her
self.
She covered still more territory
when on Tuesday she took a stand
against cutting down appropriations
for N. Y. A. and w. p. A. and indi-
Gated her distaste for the Byrd
committee. She had announced In
a previous column that she had had
Mr.. Aubrey Williams. head of the
N. Y. A. and one OF her special
favorites, to lunch the day before.
So it was not difficult to guess the
inspiration Of her opposition to the
Byrd recommendations,
1t is interesting to note that Mr..
Morgenthau signed the Byrd COM
mittee's report, and that the Presi-
dent, himself, advocates a consider
able reduction in both N. Y. A. and
W. P. A. There. OF course. will be
determined resistance In Congress to
any economy at all. UnquesUon-
ably, Mrs. Roosevelt's words lend
encouragement to the resisting ele-
ments.
Lash Appointment.
Finally, there was her success In
having Mr.. Lash put on the execu-
tive board Of the youth division OF
the o. C. D. Mr.. Lash is secretary
Of the International Student Serv-
ice. and has been charged with being
a Communist. This he again denied
Wednesday.
Asked if his former activities had
not been close to Communist lines,
he enigmatically replied. You might
say there was a time when Com
munists were Democrats" AS one Of
the grounds for recent criticism Of
Mrs. Roosevelt has been the tight
ness with which, despite opposition,
she holds on to her o. c. D. direc-
torship, the Lash appointment can
hardly increase confidence in that
agency.
Now, of course, by her attitude on
these things, Mrs. Roosevelt may
have endeared herself further to
the labor leaders, to the Negro lead
ers, to the administration spenders,
to the young radicals and to the
many who believe the Government
owes them a living without work.
Perhaps they do credit to her
heart If not to her head and GER
tainly they fit in with the picture
of her as a great lover of humanity
In the mass. But they do other
things, too. They create resentment
and suspicion; they keep bitterness
alive and promote disunity. And
they are untimely. inept and unnec-
essary.

This Changing World
Asiotie Fleet Held Reody to Strike Now

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
The Navy gave its answer last
week to the millions who had
been asking What Is the Navy
doing?" and Where on earth can
the Navy be?" With its usual
restraint, the Navy informed us
that the Asiatic Fleet had sunk
three Jap transports and two
cargo ships in the Western
Pacific.
The news was not as spectacu-
lar as it might have been because
there apparently was no battle.
The conveying Nipponese men,
of-war were simply not able to

Fleet Now Able to Strike.
1t has taken some time to put
these peacetime plan$into effect.
Admiral Hart apparently now is
ready and going ahead under
full steam. His fleet. which in
peacetime was a mere detach-
ment of one heavy cruiser and a
few divisions Of destroyers and
submarines-some obsolescent-
has been greatly strengthened
by the addition Of both large and
small units.
Admiral Hart thus is in posi-
ton to strike at the enemy, not
In an open battle-which the
Japanese Navy is not willing to
accept anyway-but in raiding
operations, which ultimately can
prove more damaging than an
outright naval engagement.

quent Japanese losses. If all the
peacetime plans Of the Navy were
to materialize-which Is doubtful
at present-Gen. Macarthur and
his men would still have a chance,
for the Japanese are more vul-
nerable than Is generally be-
lieved.
Small-Scale Engagements Seen.
Meanwhile, small-scale engage
ments can be expected to break
out between American and Japa-
nese naval forces in various parts
OF the Pacific. The Japanese
may be taken as much by sur
prise in these operations as We
were when they attacked us dur
Ing discussion of a peaceful SET
tlement of Pacific problems.
Since that fateful December 7
long, established plans have been
discarded because OF the heavy
losses sustained at Pearl Har-
Dor. but others have been formu-
lated in conformity with the
changed conditions. When and
where these will be put into force
only the future can tell.
The activities of German sub
marines at our front door in the
Atlantic are likely to increase in
the near future. The Nazis, like
the Japs. have long distance
submarines, each armed with a
5-tnch gun. These are reported
