The Political Mill
Stossen First to Give Concrete Outline
OF q World Agency to Enforce Peace

down on any of the powerful ma
tions, even when they needed it.
If Gov. Stassen's world govern
ment is to have any better fate,
it must be ready to act firmly at
all times.
Every one hates these recurring
world wars; recognizes their dis
astrous effects on civilization and
mankind. 1t is a question,
though, how many-if any-na-
tions are willing to submit them
selves to world government in any
degree. Either Gov. Stassens
idea must be greatly modified, or
the people of the world must be
greatly educated up to his idea,
If it is to re accepted. However,
he has produced something to set
your teeth in-and no one else,
no other prominent political
figure in this country or abroad,
has had the temerity to do SO.
Gov. Stassen very properly sug-
gestS that it is waste of time to
talk generalities. He put for
ward his proposal, not with the
idea that 1t was perfect, but
rather to get the American people
and the peoples of the United
Nations to work on plan,
through their representatives
There is no use teasing the people
with the idea that some ma
chinery is somehow to be set up
after this war which will bring
a decent and durable peace If
1t just can't happen.
Obviously some such plan as
the Stassen plan must be worked
out, or the United States will
have to remain an armed camp,
or the American people will have
to go back to gambling again on
the future, with the prospect of
another war in the next genera
ton. Perhaps the country will
have to remain an armed camp,
even If that means a continue
ance of heavy tax burdens in
definitely.
COP New Stand.
The new chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee,
Harrison G. Spangler of Iowa, in
the current issue of the American
Magazine, has undertaken to give
the Republican party's new
stand His ideas on interna-
tional collaboration are given in
generaities. These generalities
seem to cover much the same
ground as the Stassen proposal,
so far as aims are concerned. In
the matter of performance there
seems to be wide difference.
Mr.. Spangler says, for example,
I'VE must be willing and wise to
collaborate, but that collabora-
ton must be without impairment
OF our national identity as an in
dependent nation, without sur
rendering our individuality as
sovereign state. The United
States of America must remain
the United States Of America
under its own flag, and free to
follow and realize its own high
Ideals. Any concert into which
we may enter must see to it that
our standard of life shall not be
lowered, and that unthinking
1dealism shall not bring the
people of the United States down
to foreign economic levels-but
that our aim shall be to elevate
the condition of alien, less for
tunate, men to the high and
happy level which is our own"
Eventually this country will
have to make up its mind
whether it is willing to make
some concessions to have a more
stable world, or whether it
wishes to 60 back to the position
1t took when the Smoot- -Hawlev
Tariff Act--the highest tariff wall
ever built around the Nation
was written into law.

was literally kicked out and for
eign military attaches were in
formed of the fact in a brusque
manner.
Symbol Of Chained France.
Marshal Petain is said to be
still enjoying the respect of the
masses, but is considered by them
as Nazi prisoner, too exhausted
by age and adversely to be re-
garded as more than a symbol Of
chained France.
Arrests are being made every
day by the Gestapo agents. Many
former collaborationists are sus-
pected of having given only lip
service to the Nazis and are be-
ing sent into concentration
camps in Czechoslovakia and
Poland. Former rank or position
is of no consequence. All are
being reduced to the rank of
Jews" which is the worst thing
that can happen to any human
being In Nazi Germany.
Gen. Maxine Weygand is said
to have been caught by German
police while on the way to an
airdrome where a plane was kept
in readiness to take him to Al
rica. He has been placed in
fortress instead of a concentra-
tion camp merely because the
Nazi generals refused to permit
such an indignity to be perpe-
trated on brother ofIicer, even
though he was guilty of high
treason in the eyes of the Ges-
tapo.
The head Of the military house.
hold of the chief of state was
arrested in the marshal's resi-
dence and sent to Germany with
many other high-ranking off,
GERS. His main crime appears to
have been his close friendship
with the former American Am
bassador, Admiral William D.
Leahy, who is regarded by the
Nazis as having engineered the
plot to surrender North Africa
to the Allies without a fight.
Face Firing Squad.
In fact, all civilian and mill
tary officials who had visited the
American Embassy while Admiral
Leahy was representing the
United States have been sub
Jected to a harsh treatment.
They were rounded up as soon
after the German legions began
to pour into Vichy France from
across the borders of the occu-
pied area, packed like cattle into
trucks and carted off to some
unknown destination. Laval has
been ordered to start proceed
ings against them on charges of
having been bribed by an enemy
power, and a firing squad is the
best they can hope for.
This is considered preferable
to a Dachau-type concentration
camp. According to neutrals who
know what is going on in the
Reich, the Gestapo has "im-
proved" even on Dachau and has
organized concentration camps
which would make the old ones
look like a place of luxury.
In spite of the new priva-
tions and prosecutions to which
the unfortunate French have
been subjected since the North
African coup" there is general
rejoicing that the Allies are
closer to France, Heavy bribes
are said to have been offered to
Gestapo agents guarding the
borders to facilitate the escape
of well-to-do Frenchmen into
North Africa. When the bribes
are sufficiently tempting-any-
thing over $4,000 head is con-
sldered acceptable-then neces-

Bill T urns Out AS
Labor Predicted
Vicious Measure Encour-
ages Strife That Threatens
Peace In Industry
IS BREEDER OF STRIKES
Encourages Hard Boiled
Employers To Thumb Noses
At Labor Bodrd Rulings

AS organized labor predicted. the
Smith -Connally law has opened up a
virtual "Pandora's box of evils.
Labor warned in advance of its en-
actment that the me;, sure would pro-
yoke rather than discourage strikes,
invite attacks by hard-boiled employ
ers on unions, and imperil efficient
Board. Now labor can justly say I'VE
told you So"
This week it was made more ap-
parent than ever that the law would
encourage work Stoppages when AT
torney General Francis Biddle, in Il
precedent-making opinion, ruled that
the act gives legal sanction to strike
votes demanded by minority groups in
any plant.
Biddles ruling was given in the
case of a petition filed by District No.
30 of the United Mine Workers at ii
plant of the Allis-Chalmers Manufac-
turing Company, Springfield, ILL.,,
where another union has the bargain
ing rights under Il signed agreement.
Labor Haters To Blame
The Attorney General held that the
act specifically requires the National
Labor Relations Board to hold cleo
tionS, regardless of whether the peti-
tioning party is in the majority or
minority.
Biddle made it plain that labOr-hat-
ing members of Congress who voted
for the bill have only themselves to
blame for this condition.
THE legislative history of the bill"
he said, "shows that the Secretary of
Labor, acting secretary of war and
acting secretary of navy pointed out
the possible disturbing effects of TAX
ing strike ballots in plants where labor
relations have been stabilized by col
lective bargaining agreements and by
labOr's 'nO-Strille' pledge.
'F. d." Sounded Warning
'The President in his veto message
on the bill gave Il similar warning.
Notwithstanding these warnings, Con-
gress enacted the legislation"
Executives of the AlliS-C Chalmers
Company frantically protested against
any strike vote in their plant, but
BiddleS opinion made it clear that
bosses who backed the COnnallySmith
proposal, thinking it would strengthen
their hands against unions, have now
made their bed and must sleep in it.
Before the law was passed, most
international unions didn't even allow
strike votes among their locals. They
carried out their ''no-Strike' promise
to almost 100 per cent perfection Now
that the law supersedeS labor's pledge,
Al petitions for strike ballots have al
ready been filed with the NLRB and
more are coming in every day.
