SABOTEURS OF
WAR PRODUCTION

The racial flare-up last Tues
day att he Alabama Drydock and
Shipbuilding Company's yards at
Mobile. Alabama, occasioned by
rumors that "a thousand Negro
welders were to be placed along
side of white workers." empha-
sizes again. the existence OF
breathing, yirulent race hatred,
blown up into a modern Frank
enstein by racial tensions and ex-
aggerated fears.
Here we have a classic exam
pie of the tragic cost of American
race prejudice, operating to cur
die the morale of one-tenth of
the American people, the avoid
able and inexcusable waste and
Illustration of badly needed Ne
gro workers in the industrial out
put of the arsenal of democ-
racy' at the most critical hour
in our nations existence.
Such demonstrations ca n
scarcely have any other meaning
but that some white American
workers are too short-sighted to
focus world vision of democ-
racy beyond the American color
lin; that the universal spread
of the Four Freedoms must not
be made to apply to Negroes, and
that the concepts of the "Confed-
eracy" and the Civil War must
be kept within the tenacious
grasp of southern thought anC
life. Such an attitude would put
down first any efforts of Negroes
to have the tent-rope of democ
racy encompass them, and sec
ond, to win the war.
About this seriously critical
situation, less needs to be said
and more to be done. For We
have pronounceemnts all the way
from. the White House down to
the perfunctory radio speakers
and commentators against the
spread of prejudice and racial
discrimination. Attorney General
Francis Biddle's statement saying
that discrimination has no place
in fight for liberty, was scarce
ly dried in ink before this I'M
fortunate thing happened. What
Is needed is that firm and de-
cisive stand be taken. Let the
government ascertain and estab-
lish the facts of such troublemak-
ers and treat them for what they
are = saboteurs of the war pro-
duction program. For they are
enemies to the cause of freedom
no less than the powers we are
fighting.
or the 500 Negro workers. re-

due to racial disturbances, only

Manpower Commission, we be-
lieve it would be bad policy to
grant their request for release to
go to other employment, thus
bringing about useless waste of
time. But, in insisting upon the
return of any of them should go

owes to her workers, no less
than the citizens, adequate pro-
lection in their honest pursuit in
earning a living. - Tennessee

Mrs. Meyer Holds Miners

SYRACUSE. N. Y, May 15.-The
plight Of miners is neither better
nor worse than that of other work
ers In the country, Mrs. Eugene
Meyer, wife of the publisher of the
Washington Post. told Republican
women of Onondaga County at a
dinner tonight.
Recently returned from Great
Britain and swing through war
production centers of this country
Mrs. Meyer said Washington some
times becomes ignorant of the
thoughts. the difficulties and the
hopes of folks whose horizon Is
bounded by a city, village, or by
the mere necessity of getting a job
and keeping it."
Terrible as the picture is" Mrs
Meyer said, "the miner is neither
worse nor better off than millions OF
other American workers. It is the
duty OF every citizen to demand
that our Government face the facts
of the food shortage now and take
steps to protect the people from the
appalling situation that confronts
us. The rebellion of the miners
should be ample warning"

Million Dutch Radios
Ordered Confiscated
By Jittery Germans an
Believed Intended 10
Block. HoIIonders From
Hearing Allied Signals
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, May 15.-Fear Of i'm
minent attack on the continent has
led the Nazis to order confiscation
Of an estimated 1,000,000 Dutch
radios in an attempt to keep Hol-
landers from hearing and needing
Allied invasion signals, the Dutch
news agency Aneta reported today.
Dutch circles in London said it
was an admission of failure Of
previous decree, backed by heavy
penalties, forbidding listening to
non-German stations. Thousands
OF radios apparently have been in
secret operation, they added.
Meanwhile, a Berlin radio broad
cast, recorded by Reuters, announced
the Germans had lifted martial law
imposed in Holland a week ago, pur-
porting that the situation was now
in hand. Reporting three more ex-
ecutions, the Netherlands govern
ment-in-exile said the number of
persons killed in the first days of
martial law now totaled at least 48.
Demonstrations Banned.
Reports from Stockholm to Reu-
ters said all demonstrations had
been banned on Norway's independ-
ence day next Monday by Germans
seeking to smother any chance of
uprisings. Premier Vidkun Quisling
will speak, however, on this 10th
anniversary of his national Samling
party.
1t also was disclosed that Rauf
Orbay, Turkish Ambassador to Lon
don, had gone to Ankara for con-
situations. The news came to wor-
ry Germans. fearful that Turkey
might enter the war on the Allied
side. Only yesterday Turkish For
elgn Minister human Menemencio-
glu had said Turkey was willing to
fight on behalf of her obligations,
and they include an alliance with
Britain.
The Turkish Ambassador, said an
authoritative source, went home for
rest and to renew contacts"
In other signs of invasion fear and
stress. Zurich dispatch to Reuters
reported that five persons were killed
and 40 wounded in Lyon Thursday
night in battle with German troops
and in a French quarter where
secret weapons and printing press
were uncovered; the Paris radio re-
ported arrest of seven more Com
munists" in Bulgaria, and a German
report appearing in Stockholm said
the Allies had dropped parachutists
In Bulgaria to encourage revolt.
Italian Riots Reported.
The Russians said Italian garri-
sons In Yugoslavia had rioted be-
cause sick and wounded men were
not sent home, and Tass also re-
ported that Rumanian railways had
been turned over to German au-
thorities, with civilian travel for
hidden.
There was other trouble in Ru-
mania-a German broadcast from
Bucharest said King Michael had
the measles.
"a Belgian broadcast. also Ger
man-controlled, said "a medical
bulletin issued in Bucharest an
founces that King Michael is
seriously ILL., The latter broad
cast was recorded by the Federal

world trade. The key to the pro-
gram, as seen by League leaders,
was international cooperation and
collaboration.
But the rise of economic and po-
litical nationaGsm, with its crop
Of dictators, turned the various gov
ernments to thoughts of defense
rather than public welfare. Then
came the war.
The Hot Springs Conference is
new attempt to meet a worldwide
problem through cooperation and
collaboration.
In embarking on such a wide field
OF discussion, the key officials and
agricultural, nutritional and health
experts Of the 43 nations aren't plan
ming on reaching hasty conclusions.
The State Department, in issuing
| the conference agenda, emphasized
that no agreements will be signed
and no Government commitments
made-the discussions will be purely
exploratory.
Long Discussions Effected.
1t is expected that the delegates,
| after organizing themselves into
working conference and appointing
committees to inquire into the vari-
GUS subjects listed in the agenda,
will settle down in these committees
for frank and informal preliminary
discussion of the problems.
~.,;1,
| held behind closed doors, and in
order further to encourage a really
frank exchange of views there will
be no stenographic transcript of the
preliminary session. In other words,
| delegates will be asked to consider
the sky as the limit in conversation.
Out of this preliminary and in
formal exchange of views the ex-
perts hope general understand
| Ing will emerge as to the nature of
the problems and what and how
many specific questions can be han
died in the approximately three
weeks the conference is expected to
be in session.
The result Of all these discussions
will be Incorporated in a final con-
ference report recommending what
further studies, further conferences
or fSrther action. If any, should be
undertaken toward carrying out the
freedom from want" goal of the
Atlantic Charter.
No American Plan Ready.
The United States delegation,
headed by Judge Marvin Jones,
former chairman of the House Agri-
culture Committee, says it has no
blueprint in its pocket ready to
spread out on the conference table,
no comprehensive American plan"
for world free from want.
Officials emphasize that, as far as
this Government is concerned, what
is hoped for is a frank and COM
prehensive exchange of views in
which the various governments will
become more familiar with their
respective attitudes toward basic
food production, distribution, trade
and consumption problems.
This does not mean, however,
that the United States delegates
will offer no suggestions.
On this nations delegation is
Undersecretary Of Agriculture Paul
H. Appleby Because of long as
sociation Mr.. Appleby is regarded
as disciple of Vice President WAL
