n MORE COMPULSION TALK

NALk OF 'freezng" labor in war Jobs is meeting
with iustifiabe resentment in the ranks Of

coupled with 'Work or Fight threats for "freez-

The "freezing' talk, both as to Jobs and wages,

proved that the productive capacity of the ma

of some unemployment dSlocaton Of employ
ment caused by the conversion of a number of
industries from civil to military production on by
shortages Of raw materials, the working popuia-
ton of the United States is now almost fully en-
ployed in producing the airpanes, guns, ships and
tanks needed for the effective prosecution Of the

country may even be confronted with serious

What must and is being done for war purposes
can and must equally be achieved in times of peace.
The only difference is that instead of devoting
more than half Of the nations energy and re-
sources for war, the nations productive effort will
be concentrated on making goods needed for civ
ian use.

The Cherry Tree
Where We Hdtched Out
The Truth
JOHN l.. LEWIS
. NAPOLEON
PIERRE LAVAL
. BLACK APOSTLES

John L. Lewis and Brother Denny
aren't having exactly smooth sailing
these days.
| Now these two men could be swell
| fellows, if things had gone bit differ
emily
But Napoleon, too, could probably
have been swell fellow if things had
gone bit differently.
SO, for that matter, could Marshal
Petain.
But perhaps those are poor COM
parisons.
Nobody, for instance, could possibly
think of Pierre Laval as being swell
| fellow, no matter how things might
have gone.
For Pierre Laval was filled with a
| tremendous ambition for himself, from
the beginning-and there never was
anything else.
X X X
1 don't know whether Pierre Laval
has brother, but memory seems TO
have the hunch that he has daughter
and that she doesn't live too hard.
Pierre Laval started as a poor boy.
But he came to know things about how
to get what he wanted to get.
And he wound up being very, very
rich, owning many things of great
value some of which, so some people
believe, came to him by virtue of his
high offices.
Many people like to kow tow to per-
sons of power and to bring them gifts,
as well as myrrh and frankincense and
pretty posies.
But power doesn't always stick for
ever; nor does it bring happiness that
always lasts forever.
Pierre Laval seems to have power
| today, but actually he doesn't have
much.
And when the war ends he won't
have any at all.
x X X
Pierre Laval is puppet, ruling
puppet state, beset with tragedy, pOv-
erty and loss of soul.
But there are people in the puppet
state who haven't lost their soul and

destroyer who nests in Berlin.
| There are many spots in the long
history of humankind where great evil
forces have risen up to punish and de-
| file the race, subjecting men and
women to ignominy and suffering
But every one of these has come to
an end and the world has gone on to
| be better and better.
We have resurgence of the great
evil forces in Berlin, in Rome, in Japan.
And these brazen centers of evil have
| swirIing strings and gObs of lesser
evil whirling about them.
And they have black apostles in all
| lands.
| X X X
But the evil things will be destroyed.
A better world, again, will follow.
| We are seeing what twisted egotiSm
can do to men and through men to the
world.
We are seeing what vast greed and
mad Selfshness can do. Look upon
Pierre Laval, not as an author so much
as tool, though mayhap he would
have been an author if Hitler had not
beat him to it.
Well this discussion started out to
be Il discussion of John l.. Lewis and
it became a comment upon Pierre La
val, dumpy Frenchman whose life
has been one of fat hands being drawn
inward, each time bringing with them
something wanted by the poSSeSsOr of
| the hands, either material things or
power over men.
Well, be that as it may, something
is going to happen to this power of
men over men as the result of this
| great war.-CAIW.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

| Newspaper reports Of rebelliOus
manifestations in Hamburg against the
Nazi regime are strengthened by pri-
vate advices from Europe which said
the Hamburg workers were in a state
of incipient revolt, promising openly
the time would soon come when they
would have their revenge.
The advices came from an Aryan
German, who, until a very recent date,
| lived in Hamburg. He said that ''hard-
! ly anybody" there believed in an ulti-
mate German victory; that the pres
ence of many manned and mutilated
soldiers from Russia had had a de-
pressing. and demoralizing effect.
The Hitler stiff-armed salute is en-
tirely out of vogue, he said, and an of
| fetal propaganda campaign has been
started to restore it. Nazi party mem
bers no longer wear their badges.
Reichmarshall Goering and Propa-
ganda Minister Goebbels are spoken of
with the greatest disrespect, even
ridicule
| The German asserted that a great
part of the population of Hamburg
would be glad to lose the war if only
the present state of things could be
ended and the Nazi regime abolished.
| X X x
| The German said disseHsion is the
most rife among the Hamburg working
population, where, before the NaZi re.
gime drove all liberal and left-wing or
ganizations underground, labor unions
and the Socialist and Communist par
ties had large memberships. Workers
complain that there is too much work
and not enough food, display Sullen
passive resistance. The number of SEN
tences meted out by the NaZi Peoples
Court" for neglect of work" and
"shirking' is constantly increasing, he
said But this, he continued, seems
only to further embitter the workers.
The informant emphasized that his
opinions were based on his own obser-
vatiOns and those of relatives
Private advices reaching the United
Press from other sources, which
seemed equally reliable, said that the
number of German soldiers deserting
and fleeing into neutral Switzerland
was increasing. 1t was not pretended
that the number was large-it was the
increase which was considered signiti-
| cant.
| Most of them come from unOccupied
France, though some come directly
from Germany. The Swiss intern these
deserters and keep discreetly silent, it
was said.
X X x
These reports from Hamburg, Ger
many's major port and big industrial
center, and from other places in Ger
many, may or may not indicate a real
and growing spirit of rebellion among
German workers. They may or may not
indicate a STATE of mind which will
haps much earlier than is expected by
even the most optimistic of Germany s
opponents. But at the same time ii
should be remembered that similar re
ports heraded the end of the first
| World War in the fall of 1913. Then
| the German armies were giving ground
but were still capable of a bitter and
prolonged resistance if they had been
supported by fighting spirit in the
civilian population.

u. 5. Due 10 Report
.0n Plea for Removal
.0f French Vessels
Believed to Have Asked
Transfer of 9 Wurships
In Alexandria Horbor

An official American announce
ment is expected in the next few
days on reported negotiations be-
tween the United States and
Vichy over moving nine French
war vessels in Alexandria harbor,
Egypt, beyond possible reach OF
Marshal Erwin Rommel's army.
The United States is said to be
urging Vichv to move the ships to
a South African port or to Martin
ique. Reports from France this
morning said Pierre Laval had
rejected the American proposal.
The negotiations supposedly were
undertaken when the fast Rommel
drive across North Africa seemed
likely to put Alexandria into Axis
hands. The balance of naval power
would fall definitely to the Axis If
the French ships at Alexandria
were available to them.
The French ships sought refuge
in the Egyptian port two years ago
some of them Immediately after the
French surrender and the rest after
the battle Of Oran
After negotiations between the
British representative and Admiral
Godfrey commander of the French,
vessels, they were immobilized and
demilitarized by the removal of
their breech blocks. Admiral God
troy acted without conference with
the Vichy government, although he
is strong admirer of Marshal
Petain.
The ships include the battleship
Lorraine, three cruisers armed with
8-inch guns. one cruiser armed with
6-inch guns. three destroyers and
one submarine.
