Halifax Says Britain
Will Do It's Dutyin
Defense Of India
Will Assume Obligation
j. If Leaders Reject Plan
For Dominion Stotus
BY the Associated Press.

! By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Lord
Halifax, British Ambassador to the
United States, said last night that
should Britain fail to win agreement
among Indian leaders on . plan for
dominion status after the war "the
British government would find itsel1
obliged to do its own duty, without
the assistance or cooperation Of the
larger organized Indian parties
Should this be so," said Lord
Halifax in the annual lecture Of the
Jonathan Peterson Foundation a
Town Hall. many of the best friends
Of India. here and elsewhere, would
deplore the fact.
But, sad rs they would Be. they
would not ind it difncult to decide
where the responsibility lay"
Great Britain long had aimed at
the eventual granting Of dominion
status to India under q constitutional
form of government, he said.
Lays Down Definite Plan.
The plan to which Sir Stafford
Cripps was trying to win Indian
agreement. Lord Halifax asserted,
lays down = perfectly definite plan
for the satisfaction of India's claim
to the free management OF her own
affairs"
Britain's only conditions to the
granting Of dominion status, he said,
ARE conditions that are plainly
necessary for its own fulfillment.
The recognition of the right Of
Moslem provinces. that for the
present at all events may hesitate to
join the union, to remain outside 1t,
and provision by treaty for the due
protection Of minorities."
Reviewing the hopes Of Britain for
the eventual self government Of
India. Lord Halifax added:
1T may be that in denial Of these
hopes those who speak for India will
reject this opportunity.
Halifax Stin Hopeful.
The trend Of the news sugsests
that this Is not at all impossible
But my information is not complete
and I still hope that the wiser
counsels may prevail.
Il can well understand the distaste
with which many Indians are likely
to regard particular features of the
scheme proposed by the British gov
eminent. But, as have already
said. II any scheme Is to be success
ful it must carry the broad agree
ment both of the minorities and OF
the rulers OF the Indian states. - I"
The sincerity Of the British gov
ernment. Lord Halifax declared
has been proved. No one any longer
will be able to fool an audience by
accusing Britain of bad faith to
India. We for our part shall not
lose hope
Walter Nash, New Zealand's Min
lister to the United States, said he
firmly believed the United Nations
would win the war, but cautioned
that general belief that We are
bound to win" was the one great
danger in the path to victory.

TORIES MET IN SECRET TO MAP ANTI
LABOR CAMPAIGN, WRITER CHARGES

NEW YORK. - (FP) - America
most reactionary industrialists met Il
secret session here September II t
map a more intensified campaign
against the Roosevelt administration
and organized labor, Bruce Minton
Washington writer, charges in the
November II issue of the New Masses
magazine.
The anti-new deal, anti-labor pro
gram was mapped out at a meeting
of the resolutions committee of the
Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers which
was called to prepare for the annual
NAM congress here in December.
Named by Minton as the leaders OF
the hymn of hate against the Presi.
dent were the same NAM heavies who
last spring formed the Natl. Industrial
Information Committee to raise a mil
lion dollars for an anti-labor cam
paign.
Chairman of the NAM resolutions
committee was Pres. F. G. Crawford
of the Thompson Products Inc, which
has been violating the Wagner act for
years and which only a few months
go fired unionists for FASTING "This
Machine Works for Hitler" stickers
on idle machines in Thompsons
Cleveland plants.
Others who took a leading part
were James H. Rand Jr. of the anti
union Remington Rand Co, who was
once chairman of Charles E. Cough
Inns Committee for the Nation; Luth-
er B. Stein, southern bourbon and Of
fetal Of the Belknap Hardware Co.;
and last, but not least, Lammot du
Pont, head of the great munitions and
auto dynasty.
Certain important financial and in
dustrial organizations, Minton says,
were not represented at the meeting.
These include ]. P. Morgan, Rookie
Teller, Chrysler, General Electric and
Westinghouse interests. Several 9TH
ers, who were represented, he says,
the program dictated in the
main by DUPONT and Crawford.

NLRB NEWLY
STREAMLINED

WASHINGTON.-(FP)-T The Natl.
Labor Relations Board has put into
effect new streamlined procedures
which will save roughly 500 of the
boards time.
If it agrees with trial examiners
report, it will issue an order and at
tach the report, with any exceptions
it makes, rather than rewriting the
whole report.
The NLRB is hearing more cases
than previously-1,114 unfair practice
cases and 1860 representation cases
having been filed in the last three
months. Unions are organizing, par
ticularly in the south, it was ex-
planned.
The increase in unfair practice
cases is partly due to some reaction
airy employers who think because this
is war they can do away with unions,

year ending June, 1912, more than
million dollars was ordered given in
back pay, and $500 workers rein

leave the student baffled but docile.)
The continued democratic inquiry per-
mitted in the Lab must inevitably
lead to basic causes.
AS Miss Wheeler has so adequately
pointed out, one of the first truths
learned by Lab students is the recog-
milton that democracy depends upon
individual responsibility Therefore,
it is important that each individual
contribute to his fullest potential, and
that 1T is POSSIBLE for each indi
vidual to contribute to his fullest po-
tential. There is none of the under
standing "condescension" in casework-
ers trained in the Lab. While they
realize it is unfortunate that the
Jones' family buy strawberries and
cream out of season with their S4S.40
WPA check and lack bread at the
end of the month, they also realize
there is something further back in
the Jones' history which explains
their inability to budget. Has their
background included practical train
ing in such common sense things as
adequate diet, budgeting, sewing,
cooking, etc.-or was it stopped at
the eighth grade or perhaps continued
on through high school Latin. Has
that individual had the opportunity
to contribute to his fullest.
Constantly the students must ask
more, questions and go further into
the causes of problems. While it will
help if conscientious individuals do
not buy radium dialed alarm clocks,
if their manufacture is injurious to
the laborers health, why are they per-
mitted to be manufactured and widely
1t is not simply the
wrong side of the tracks, but why the

ployment, but why unemployment?
Not selfish, competitive individuals, |
but what in our social system de-

lals? And the more questions that

answer. While certain basic evils are
