confined to restricted areas of resi-
dence before the American inva-
sion November 8 now have been

With arrangements incomplete for
their departure for Mexico, the COM
mission said, the prisoners release
presented problem.
This problem was resolved
through the excellent cooperation
Of the American Army, which
agreed to employ them under work
contracts with the UNDERSTANDING
that the contracts would terminate
when arrangements we're made for
their transportatio ton to Mexico" the
dispatch said.
The French authorities have given
assurance that approximately 200
foreign refugees In prison, most of
them Spanish Republicans, will be
granted an amnesty.
1.-The French authorities agreed to
liberate from prisons all Spanish
Republican refugees for the purpose
of proceeding to Mexico" the state
ment said. THE Joint Commits

prisoners should be liberated and
allowed to make their own DISPOSE
tions."
The commission explained that
the prisoners were sentenced by the
courts chiefly for infractions of dis
cipline in internment camps or
political demonstrations involving
violence.
The Refugee Commission was set
up in January under the joint
Craftsmanship of the United States
and British consuls general in

Crisis on Home Front
Is Growing Daily,
Johnston Warns
U. S. Chamber President
Sees Day of Reckoning
When Soldiers Return
BY the Associated Press.

Eric A. Johnston, president of the
United States Chamber of Com
merce, said last night that home
front crisis daily grows more men,
acing" while:
Washington dilly-dallies, argues
about the Jurisdiction of Federal
war agencies, plays politics, expert
ments with social measures, acts
with indecision or not at ALL" and:
Pressure groups forget the war
against common and blood thirsty
enemy to engage in civil economic
brawl."
The head of the business organi-
zation in a radio address said the
Nation had gone into a slump on
the home front because our team
work, on the whole, is-well, I'd
better not use the word on the
radio"
Disputes Add Up to Crisis.
"As our bombers shatter factories
In the Ruhr, the headlines in Ber-
lin proclaim strike in Pennsyl-
vania or Alabama. a conflict among
high officials in Washington or a
riot In Detroit. And all these dis
putes add up to one dangerous
WORCESTERSHIRE growing crisis on
oar home front.
THE threat of imitation hangs like
the sword of Damocles over the Ma
tons head. The food shortage con-
tinues to get worse. We have failed
to formulate tax program adequate

war and forestau imitation. A cha
otic price policy provides fertile soil
Tor the growth of untold numbers

manpower is still a mess. -.
Says Strikes Are Increasing.
But the crisis on the home front
is not confined to the Nations Cap-
ital. Despite labor's no-strike pledge
voluntarily given Immediately aft
er Pearl Harbor-strikes are on the
increase. There is a singular dis
regard throughout the land for law
and order. 1t is considered smart by
too many people to evade rationing
to patronize black markets and to
violate other rules which must be
promulgated in wartime"
Mr.. Johnston said that. when
American soldiers now on the fight
ing fronts and reading of the do
mestic disputes come home they will
have their day of reckoning"
They will know" he declared
who is responsible for the produc-
tion delays. They will know who is
placing petty. selfish desires and
ambitions above patriotism-and
when the war is won those guilty
ones will be held accountable.

every one of this mortal clay. The
thought, furbished with unexpected
