Labor Must Have It's Say

Moreover - the nation is mo-

They declared that it was

So the auto plants continued
business and produced 100000
automobiles last year, using up

many years seemed impossible be-
cause of lacll of confidence in
Americas intentions toward the Or

derstood that both countries are
fighting for that freedom each has
always valued and tried to protect it,
the two peoples have been welded in
to firm alliance of faithful frined-

and, when it is considered he has been

his command of English was remark

Rotarians at the meeting, and quite

history Of his country from geo
graphical, economical, religious, and

World War is freighted with the most
interest, and the speaker dealt at
some length on that situation. In
some respects, he said, China could
not compete, notably on the sea and

superiority for his people, and was in
