dictators discussed, and probably
decided on, operations in the
Mediterranean this month. The
presence of Field Marshal Will
helm Keitel and Of the Italian
chief of staff, Gen. Ugo Cavallero,
strengthens that suspicion.
Thanks to the liberal policy Of
Vichy, italian divisions in Libya
have been increased in recent
weeks, while another Nazi me-
chanized division has been added
to the command of Field Mar
shall Erwin Rommel. The Axis
forces which are prepared to at
tack the British in Egypt number
IA divisions, of these, at least two,
and probably three, are Italian
motorized divisions.
Duce Gathering Forces.
Parachute and special invasion
forces are being gathered in
Greek ports and in the islands
along the Syrian coast. Southern
Italy and Sicily have been made
closed areas. This is interpreted
in military quarters to mean that
large forces are being gathered
in those regions.
Mussolini, who has been press
ing his boss, Hitler, to strike at
the British in the Mediterranean,
has placed his best men at the
disposal of the Nazi high COM
mand; these troops have been
specially drilled during the sew
eral months of lull and have been
given special privileges. They
form the shock divisions and
have extra rations of food. Their
families are among the most
privileged in Italy.
According to various reliable
reports, the shock troopers have
been promised future special ad-
vantages, such as tax exemptions
for their families if they fall In
battle. According to other
sources, Mussolini has attempted
to make friends with Marshal
Badoglio through the interven-
tion of King Victor Emanuel.

ings of the error of the chivalrous
After you, gentlemen in the time
is on our side" policy which in
vited the enemy to hit the first blow
by surprise out of the blue at his
chosen hour.
Lavalized Vichy has outposts right
at our door. Martinique is not the
only French Island off our Eastern
coast. In the Windward group,
among the island chain which guard
the entrance to the Caribbean Sea
and the approach to the Panama
Canal are the two French islands
of Gaudeloupe separated by a mar
row channel, and five smaller is
lands.
Their governors must be Laval
men or lose their jobs. They afford
abundant hiding places for Axis
submarines preying on our coastal
commerce. A submarine can lie
doggo in an inlet under a canopy of
thick tropical foliage or quickly sub
merge to rest in shallow waters on
little sandy bottom in case of need.
Can Use Harbors Easily.
But what need is there? The ref
uge is within the territorial limits
of a friendly power with which we
are not at war. Or suppose there is
an Axis submarine mother ship
which can slip in and out of a
Vichy island harbor. 1t is not for
us to smash her with bombs or naval
gunf1re or to signal in diplomatic
form that we shall unless she sur
renders.
This would draw a protest from
the local officials against a breach
Of international law when their gov
ernment was entirely neutral be-
tween the two parties at war. Such
an embarrassment of German sub
marine raids in our home waters
would raise shout of outrage from
Berlin over such a ruthless attack
on a peaceful people.
1t is only a matter of an hour or
less for mother ship to refuel
submarine. refill her shelves with
torpedoes and replace her tired crew
with a fresh one. This can be done
in the moonlight or even in the dark
with the aid of screened lights Then
the local officials would be asleep;
or, if the transfer were made by
daylight, they would be considerate-
ly looking the other way.

issue. 1t Will be interesting to
see what the committee and the
Congress will do with it.
The President relies upon the
War Labor Board to stabilize
not "freeze"-wages. How this
agency administers this duty will
be the nub of the whole ques-
ton of restraining great increases
in labor costs. Since August,
1889. factory wages have in
creased generally As per cent. as
compared to an increase Of 1877
per cent in the cost of living.
There are discrepancies. where
some wages are too low. They
should be remedied. There are
pending, however, before the War
Labor Board demands for in
creases in wages OF already highly
paid labor. What happens in
those cases?
Subject to Interpretation.
The President, in his recent
address to the Nation, said blunt
ly: do you work for wages?
You will have to forego higher
wages for your particular job
during the duration of the war"
In his message to Congress the
day before the President said
that the War Labor Board will
continue to give due considera-
ton to inequalities and the elm
ination of substandards of liv-
ing" 1t is obvious that much
will depend upon the interpreta-
ton placed by the War Labor
Board on the adjustment of in
equalities."
If these issues are really car
ried before the country in the
coming campaign it will only
be because the American people
have become aroused over
charge that one group in the
country has been treated as a
favored class.

Fish Seeks Reflection;
Expects Bitter Campaign

Representative Fish, Republican
member of Congress from New York

nounced his candidacy for re-elec-
ton yesterday.
An isolationist in Congress until
the opening of the war, he revealed
that the War Department had re-
jected request from him for active
service with the Army. A letter
made public by him told that he
was considered of greater service in
Congress than with the troops in
the field He now is SO years of age
and served with distinction over
seas during the First World War.
Aware of reported movements
within the Republican party to pre-
vent his return to Congress because
of his isolationist attitude. Mr.. Fish
said he anticipated a vigorous and
bitter campaign.

have fought it. Among its few
supporters in the committee
hearings were representatives of
farm organizations and Thur
man Arnold, Assistant Attorney
General in charge of antitrust
cases.
Look to "Other Fellow"
Labor organizations would be
willing to see the trade organiza-
tions compelled to file reports
with the Government-and the
trade organiza tions would be
willing to see the unions make
such reports. The trouble is that
about every one is willing to ''let
the other fellow do it." but un-
willing to do these things them
selves.
This is the salutary kind of
legislation that is needed in this
country-even more than a re-
vision of the 40-hour work week.
Such legislation has made for
better conditions in England. 1t
would show the public and the
members Of these organiza tions
what is done with their money.
Some labor unions already make
such reports to their members.
But the unions generally fight
such a law tooth and nail
The second bill before the
Judiciary Committee is that spon-
sored by Representative Hobbs
of Alabama, a member of the
committee, which would change
the law under which the Supreme
Court of the United States, by
a divided vote, upheld the right
Of labor unions to compel trucks
driven into New York to force
tribute from the truck owners or
the shippers. Chief Justice
Stone, in a dissenting opinion,
denounced in harsh terms the
idea that because man held q

to play the part of holdup man.

have a much larger contingent of
forces than the Nazis, Marshal
Rommel's victoriesif he were to
win some-could be described to
the Italian public as Italian vic
tories. Moreover, If the Axis
were to conquer Egypt, Ethiopia
would eventually be restored to
the Italians.
The conquest of Ethiopia did
not help II Duce restore his
country's economy, and his pres
tige suffered a terrific blow when
Fascist troops under the late
Duke of Aosta surrendered to
the British.
All these considerations are
being taken into account by the
United Nations high command,
which sees in Hitler's thirst for
Mosul oil and Mussolini's anxi-
ETY. to restore his damaged pres
tige signs that the Nazi blow
will be directed at the Eastern
Mediterranean and sooner than
was anticipated a few weeks ago.
