copy Of a letter from Herriot in
which he resigned from the French
Legion of Honor because the award
had been given two Frenchmen
fighting for the Germans on the
eastern front.
Il would be betraying Clemen-
ceau's memory and example of ar
dent pure patriotism which he left
us if I were to keep this decoration, u
he wrote Marshal Petain.
This thing seemed intolerable for
the French conscience and future
generations will judge it severely"
At the time of his reported letter
to Marshal Petain challenging the
drift toward active military collab-
Grafton with the Axis, the German
controlled Paris radio was leading q
campaign to bring France into mill
tary alliance with the Nazis.
Secretary of State Hull, discussing
the reported letter. described Her
riot as a patriotic Frenchman OF
rare courage" and said his letter
was Of tremendous significance.
Herriot was described by Under
secretary of State Sumner Welles
today as vivifying the spirit which
made France great nation.
Il wish him WELL" Mr.. Welles
said in commenting on the reports
of his arrest.
That Laval is under pressure by
the Germans was evident yesterday
by the decision of the Vichy cabinet
to adopt virtual conscription in
meeting German demands for
French labor.
This stand was at variance with
Laval's recent utterances in which
he sought to make it appear that by
his policies he had avoided appli-
cation to the French of Germany's
compulsory labor DEGREES for occu-
pied territories.
Defense of Dakar Problem.
The Governments decision to
meet Germany's demand for $50 900
skilled workers by virtually con-
S11pGillS Cilt1lS ClcWS from FIeQCQ
factories was announced by Labor
Minister Hubert de Lagareille and
Industrial Minister Bichelonne after
conferring with Marshal Petain.
Some $4,000 will be affected since
only 1900 have enlisted in Laval's
campaign to comply with Hitlers
demand.
Enlisting labor for Germany was
only one of the problems confront
ing the cabinet.
One subject was the defense of
French possessions in Africa includ-
ing Dakar, where the Germans ap-.
parently want to send troops to
laid its defense"
In a joint statement on the labor
conscription, Lagardelle and Biche-
lonne promised that the govern
ment would look after the workers
sent to Germany as we'll as their
families left at home The workers
were promised they would be paid
and treated.

of economic stabilization. Mr..
Justice Byrnes has resigned from
the Supreme Court to accept this
position.
The President in announcing
the appointment of Justice
Byrnes said:
Justice Byrnes is one of the
foremost authorities in govern
mental administration in the
United States. He knows the eco
nomic problems of this country
whether they concern labor, the
farmer, the consumer, the small
retail store or the manufacturer.
would never have asked him to
resign from the Supreme Court
were it not for the fact that this
job is one of the most important
positions in this country. I
know the American people can be
sure that in keeping down the
cost of living he will be fair to
every one.
This position calls primarily
for judicial consideration. The
organization will be small because
the administrative action will be
carried out by the existing
agencies.
Justice Byrnes' patriotic ac-
ton in accepting this appoint
ment deserves the praise and
commendation of all our citizens"
Letters to Henderson.
The President today addressed
two letters to Leon Henderson,
administrator, Office of Price Ad-
minjstration, the texts of which
follows:
I have signed the cost OF liv-
ing stabilization bill.
I wish that you would consult
with the Secretary of Agriculture
and Immediately establish CELL
ing prices for eggs, chickens, but
ter, cheese. potatoes, flour and
such other foods as can be con-
trolled under existing laws.
In line with my recent message
to the Congress, you should con-
slider present governmental pay
ments to agricultural producers,
and subsidy payments in arriving
at the minimum ceiling prices.
This Government is determined
to use all of its powers to prevent
any avoidable rise in the cost of
living.
That part of the Nation which
has not yet been designated with
In defense rental areas should
now be so treated. We should
make no distinction between city
and country residents as to their
participation in the total war ef-
fort. Certainly the contribution
Z" of agriculture to the effective
prosecution of the war is clear.
Therefore, our rural population
equally deserves to have its rents
stabilized.
I wish you would Immediately
issue appropriate orders to' pre-
vent rent increases on urban and
rural dwellings. In such areas as
you deem appropriate to reduce
current rents, I am sure you will
proceed to take such action as
may be necessary.

THE fighting men come to the

Hart said. They have been on the

they have seen their buddies

They tell me that when they get
back they don't see much sacrificing
