 McGowan stressed the fact that auxiliary unions do not affect hire. tenure or wages of employment anc said that the 15,000 members of his auxiliary unions are in one year making as much money as regular union members who have beer building ships all their lives.
 Does that look like discrimina- tion?" he asked.

It is now announced officially that seven of the American heavy bombers which recently attacked the Kurile Islands and were forced down in Kamchatka by bad weather have been interned by the Russians.
 Presumably, these bombers will not be available for a second front across the English channel.
 This announcement is made simultaneously with the quotation from Russian news organs of the displeasure of the Soviets with the efforts Of the United States in Western Europe.
 The full import of these two situations is such as to make a person of ordinary intelligence wonder if our relationships with other nations have been handled as ineptly and as lncompetently as have our domestic concerns.
 Prior to 1941 enormous Russian and Japanese armies were lined up on the Siberian border and on many occasions fought fair sized undeclared wars.
 During the last 2l months, after a discouraging start, the United States has not only taken the burden of fighting Japan on the sea, on the gorund, and in the air, but has in conjunction with China and Australia been carrying the war to Japan. and protecting Rus sia from stab in the back while she was in deadly peril in Europe.
 Hat 1t not been for this second front can 1t be questioned that the position of Russia would have been almost hopeless?
 During the same period, the United States has skimped on bombers, fighting planes, and other equipment for its own forces in the Pacific and on food for its civil popualtion to send vast quar- titles of all of these munitions of war in conjunction with the Brit ish to the Russians.
 These munitions have been car- ried in ships which had to make the treacherous passage through the Arctic ocean and the U-boat infested seas, as well as through ancient Persia where American engineers have performed amaz- ing featS constructing railways and highways to get the materiel through.
 If Russia had not received this help. 1t seems quite clear Hitler would have been in Moscow, Lem ingrad, Stalingrad and in control of European Russia to the Uras.
 During the same period, the American Air Force, operating in conjunction with the RAF from England. has been laying waste one great German industrial area after the other. not only reducing the ability of the Nazis to supply their armies on the Russian front bti. scrcing Hitler to withdraw his fighting planes rom the Rsst 70 protect the heart of the Reich.
 Also. during the same period, the American Army. Navy and Air Forces, cooperating with the Brit lsh in the Mediterranean, have thrown the whole German strat- egy into confusion. opened up the flank of the Balkans. broken the morale of the Hungarian. and other satellites, neutrallzed Spain. and made Turkey q probable rather than Q potential ely.
 Of course. all this has been done for the common purpose of de- featlng the enemy but it is not able that the United States ts fighting in EVERY QUARTER Of the habitable globe ard that RUSSIA is fighting NO PLACE BUT ON RUSSIAN SOIL ard n only fighting the nation with

CHURCH OPPOSES
 STATE SUPREMACY

Popular sovereignty in the demo- cratic form of government as op- posed to tyranny of kings was prais- ed last night in a lecture by Attor- ney John B. Greco who stated our form of government is entirely in accord with the mind of the church. The talk was given on the Green as the Catholic Campaigners for Christ conducted the final in a series of open lecture meetings.
 MT. Greco pointed out that the church has always been opposed to state supremacy and that the great theologians have all believed the right to rule depends upon the con- sent of the people.
 A prayer was led Joseph Sullivan who aso introduced the principal speaker. A talk on the life of St.. Thomas More was given by Thom- as COughl:n.
