Nazis Hint Squeeze
On France for Gains
In West Africa
Germans Indicate Spain
May Get Territory
As Forfeit
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-German
broadcasts today suggested that
Hitler might be adopting squeeze
tactics in an attempt to force
France to yield military conces-
slons in West Africa to the Reich,
with thinly yelled threats that
Britain and the United States
might seize Dakar and that
French Morocco might 90 to
Spain as forfeit.
Quoting articles in the German
dominated Paris press, the Berlin
radio dWelt at length on what it
purported to be an increasing de-
mand among the French for a fight
ing defense to prevent French West
Africa from going the way of Equa-
torlal Africa, Syria and Madagascar
The implication was that if the
French could not hold their own
territory from the Fighting French
and the Allies, they should grant
Germany the facilities to hold il
Tor them.
To help screw down the pressure
the Berlin radio in a Barcelona dis
patch gave wide circulation to &
speech voicing Spain's desire fol
domain from the Pyrenees to the
Atlas Mountains.

Secretary Perkins
Calls on Labor 10
Put Victory First
No Small Monetary Gain
Worth Delaying Triumph.
She Tells AFL Session
Earlier Story on Page A-1.)

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO, Oct. 6.-United
States Secretary of Labor Fran
'ces Perkins today foresaw a
future full of problems" for
American labor, but declared mo
small privilege, no difference of
dollars is worth the risk of delay
ing victory"
In an address before the American
Federation of Labor convention, she
asserted labor had thrown its re-
sources, energy and Imagination into
the war production battle and added
that lost time during strikes since
Pearl Harbor amounted to less than
one-tenth of l per cent of available
working time.
"You will be called upon in the
coming months" she said, "to face
new duties. If you treasure the role
of trade unionism as do and if you
remember the Sacrifices of our armed
forces, you will not finch in the face
of duty"
The Labor Department. Miss Perk-
ins reported, is studying "the means
OF building a good postwar world" ="
The present labor situation, she said,
demonstrates that full employment
is possible in a machine age.
Need for Training Cited.
"All that is lacking in ordinary
times" she observed sis the will, the
necessity to achieve the best oppor-
tunity of the worlds working people
to use their skill and strength for
the provision of goods and services
to satisfy the needs of the whole
world.
To-day munitions of war absorb
their skill Tomorrow the healing
of the scars may offer the chance
for full and useful employment.
The need of the devastated world
to be clothed and housed and fed
at the close of the war will be for a
generation a challenge to keep the
workers and machinery of the
world at top employment and pro-
duction."
Miss Perkins declared the war had
taught the need to train men for
skilled work The Nations achieve
ment in systematic apprentice train
ing, however, has been Inadequate,
she added.
To-day" she declared, 1--WE are
paying for our lack of foresight in
employment problems arising out of
shortage of workers with an all
around apprentice training. At the
end OF the war we may again hear
that skilled workers are no longer
needed and that apprenticeship is
no longer necessary. Let us fight off
those counsels, too."
Cooperation Remarkable"
She described the cooperation
among labor, employees and Govern
ment in war production as remark
able' and "a triumph of American
business and labor in skill and speed
and organization for work"
Labor also was urged to prepare
a systematic method of Industrial
negotiations, mediation when neces-
sary, and adjustment in the unre-
solved cases by properly constituted
public authority ty"-all solidly built,
she said. on "an actual but most
unused right to strike and lock-
out, to work G not to work, to hire
or to fire"
This is q hard war, Miss Perkins
said. THE United Nations must and
will win q decisive victory. The win
ming Of this war and that alone will
assure this fundamental right of
men to be free and to cooperate
voluntarily with other men Of good
will'for social. economic and spiritual
hetterment. .

profit, only to find ourselves impov-
erished in the postwar period when we
will have no cushion to guard against
downward prices and wages
1t is a serious problem that every
thinking man must face.
To carry on, we must MAKE MORE
MONEY. How are we to do it?
About the only avenue of large profit
remaining open is either in investment
in lands which cannot be depleted with
out use, else investment in mineral
rights in lands which likewise cannot
be depleted without development The
person who buys mineral rights
known as landowners royalty-is as
sured of his rightful share of all pro-
duction, once it is brought to the surface
of the ground. The moment 100 barrels
of oil is produced and marketed, the
royalty owners are entitled to 121l bar
rels of that oil, under the law
The royalty owner and the land own
er stand in the same shoes as their
rights are the same. The man who buys
land including the mineral rights can
contract for the development of the oil
and gas, retaining the right to receive
one-eighth of all the oil and gas pro-
duced. If Mother Nature has stored a
large amount of that oil, and if he is
a good buyer, he will have invested in
the land largely on the basis of the
surface value, or the potential surface
value.
The value of the land is measurable
by what it will produce per annum. If
it will produce sugar beets, it is very
valuable; if it is wheat land, it is like
wise valuable so on, down the list,
to stock raising. Often rich undeveloped
soil is used for stock raising, meaning
that grazing land may be plowed and
become highly productive. Practically
all of Montana was once considered
grazing land but much of this grazing
land is now under cultivation and many
dry land farms yield as much as $40
to $50 per annum from grain crops.
The man who buys land and does
not pay too much for it will have some
thing that will be permanent asset
during and after the war If it is min
eral land it may make him a great
fortune. There can be no doubt about
the demand for petroleum after the war.
The world is becoming more and more
mechanical and in the postwar recon-
struction period, oil will be the COM
modify in greatest demand. There can
be no question but that the upsets in
the oil industry will discourage pros
