quirements and in keeping with the
spirit Of equity and fairness to all
concerned
At the morning session, Senator
Mead, Democrat, of New York, Just
returned from a 40,0OO-mile trip to
the worldwide fighting fronts, de-
clared that complaints of absentee
ism and of inefflciency of American
workmen were "unwarranted and
false"
He told the delegates "our produc-
ton is the worlds best. Compared
with all others in quality and guam
tity, we lead, and all others follow.

Senator Mead said the group of
Senators of which he was a member
were particularly interested in COM
plants that American workers had
refused to unload ships and to work
on docks in the South Pacific.
These complaints" he said, were
urwarranted and false"

I'VE found that the workers in the
unorganized, backward countries
were most inefficient when COM
pared with the work of free, or

Action on Application
OF UNIV Sent Back
To AFL Committee
BY the Associated Press


BOSTON, Oct 13.-The AF'L con-
vention's Resolutions Committee
recommended today that the execu-
tive council continue negotiations
looking to the readmission of the
United Mine Workers.
The committee said the council
should be guided by the suggestion
and direction that affiliated national
and international unions, having ex-
perienced a disregard Of, or trans
gression upon, their recognized
jurisdiction by the United Mine
Workers Of America file with the
offices OF the federation a state
ment Of their complaint without
delay and not later than 30 days
following the adjournment of this
convention ="
The committee said it welcomed
the application filed by UNIV Presi-
dent John L. Lewis, but asserted it
found it impossible to recommend
acceptance of the tender OF reaffili-
alton under conditions proposed or
submitted by the United Mine
Workers OF America"

Senator's Criticism
Hampers War Effort,
London Paper Says
By the Associated pr.ss

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Oct 13.-The London
Daily Mail declared editorially yes
terday that the five United States
Senators who have reported their
findings on a world tour of battle
fronts to Senate executive session
were likely to hamper war produc-
ton unintentionally by creating
civilian indignation and prejudice. +"
The editorial was the first ex-
tended answer by the British press
to recent criticism in some Senate
quarters of British postwar economic
aims.
The Daily Mail declared Senator
Ellender, Democrat, of Louisiana was
10 times wrong in a statement he
was reported to have made relative
to the per capita public debt borne
by Britons and Americans.
Debt Figures Challenged.
The newspaper said the Louisiana
Senator was reported as saying that
the debt per head in Britain was q
pounds approximately $108) in 1888
and only Al pounds (S16D today" 1t
added that actually the debt per
head in 1888 was l66 pounds (s664)
and today, at a conservative esti-
mate, it stands at 400 pounds
($l,2OOD."
Referring to the Ave Senators
who made the world tour, Senators
Russell, Democrat, of Georgia:
Brewster, Republican, of Maine;
Mead, Democrat, of New York;
Lodge, Republican, of Massachu-
setts, and Chandler, Democrat, of
Kentucky, the Daily Mail recalled
that one of the most common war
time slogans was Careless talk cost
lives and added:
We commend this slogan to the
five American Senators who appear
to be busy throwing large-sized
spanners (wrenchesD into the deli
cate machinery of Anglo American
understanding"
Harming War Effort.
The newspaper said the Senators
were harming the war effort be-
cause by creating civilian indigna-
ton and prejudice they hamper pro-
duction and eventually hamstring
the boys on the beaches, in the
mountains, in the air and on the
seas ="
These Senator's" the newspaper
continued, indulge in no such ne
tarlous intention. But that, unfor-
tunately, is likely to be the effect
OF wild rumors, unGorroborated re-
ports and sheer nonsense which are
flooding the United States.
We are all aware of the splendid
contribution of the United States
to the war, and We are also con-
sclous Of not doing badly ourselves.
The truth is. every one of the
United Nations is doing it's utmost
to win the war, and those who him
der rather than help are only play
ing into the hands Of our enemies"

Police Probe Brides Death
In Gas-FiI|ed Home

Police are investigating the death
OF Mrs. Virginia Fay Kidwell Doug
las, "a, bride of six months. whose
body was found last night by her
husband in their gas-filled home at
74O0 Fourteenth street NV.
According to Detective Seret.
Bernard Crooke of the homicide
squad, Mr. Douglas said he left
home Sunday night after quarrel
ing with his bride. He returned
yesterday afternoon, but found the
house locked. He could not get in
he said, because the front screen
door also was locked.
Last night, with the help OF
Special Policeman Harry E. Tripp
he went to the house and forced
an entrance. They found gas
escaping from an oven and foul
open jets on the kitchen stove

only the perfunctory job of check
ing on us. Had we been Germans
he would have smelled us.
None of us-an American Army

and myself-were especially alarmed
because several hours before we had
had our first contacts with this re-
markable secret organization which
prepared the way for the French
liberation of Corsica.

serves a favorable comparison with

the armistice, of course, the open

This mountainous island has been

and gave them everything it had
without any suspicion of profit
seeking. That is saying a lot, in
these days. Flags of the three ma
tions appeared together everywhere
overnight-sometimes with pretty
crude designs.
Flew British Flag.
A British flag was floating over
the chief hotel in Adjaccio the
other day. The proprietor told me
his wife, an English girl, had spent
all night making it out OF such COL
ored bits Of cloth as she could find
as soon as the Italians pulled out
OF his establishment. While they
were occupying about every room
In the hotel it was impossible to
keep a flag flying about.
From the first the Patriots have
been the spearhead of the resist
ance, both secret and open. 1t has
been spoken of here as a secret
society," That is hardly accurate
Actually few loyal Corsicans have
not known who the members were
ana about what they were doing
They make no secret Of their affilia-
tions today and every member l
talked with was glad to give me his
name for publication. Also the
false impression may have been
given that the Patriots are a group
OF rather crude mountain peasants.
This also is far from the truth. The
rolls have included some of the
foremost military, literary and pro-
fessional names of contemporary
France-men who happened to be
Corsican by birth and were able to
get back here as soon as the Third
Republic fell.
Literacy High on Island.
There is very little crudeness In
Corsica. Literacy is high. Manners
are polished, even among the poor
est. And there have been so many
visitors to the island that the people
have kept in close touch with all the
currents Of contemporary thought.
A guerrilla leader with whom I
rode through the mountains the
other day enlivened the trip with
snatches OF English songs from
recent movies, interspersed with
occasional verses from that we'll
known classic, "Mademoiselle From
Armentieres. as the American
soldiers used to sing it. He seemed
far from sinister fellow then.
Probably he would be quite sinister
about his organizations business ON
dark roaG at night. as was the
fearsome black giant who halted us
in the rain.
When the first Americans landed
in Corsica the Patriots were there to
meet them and greeted them as
brothers. There was a parade from
the boat up the capitals main
street. Patriots got into the shafts
and dragged the wagon containing
the baggage and supplies Of the
newcomers. 1t was perhaps the
most effecting welcome We have
received anywhere.

extreme individualism, bravery and

The men have remained strong and
handsome, the women beautiful.
They are courteous and hospitable.
The idea of sharing ones last crust
with stranger is very literally car
ried out these days. The Germans
stripped the island of much of its
food. Often the half crust the
Corsican offers is half of his actual
last crust. When Germans and Ital-
ians tried to interfere with the liber-
ties of these people they were strik-
ing their fingers into a buzz saw
and they have had them pretty we'll
nipped off.
Forced Into Hiding.
The patriots" have been in exist
ence ever since the fall of France.
For a time they kept their in

the towns. Any German, Italian or
collaborationist was fair game for

rled out with eagerness. Last Janu-
ary for the first time they had to go
into hiding. The membership lists
in the different districts had become
pretty well known through spies.
They retired into the hills armed
with about every weapon one could
imagine from family heirlooms
which were old when Napoleon was
a boy to the most modern models
OF rifles. From the hills their acts
of sabotage continued. There was
no need of caution to keep their
identities hidden any more. This
was war without fear or favor.
Scores of groups similar to the
Patriots are operating throughout
Occupied French territories. They
have at least caused the Germans a
lot of worry and are preparing the
way for organized collaboration
with the Allies in the liberation to
come. Corsica is intensely loyal to
France, SO long as Frence allows it
reasonable freedom to follow its own
favored ways Of life. 1t is natural
to speculate as to whether condi-
tions found here are any mirror Of
what may be expected when Allied
armies enter continental France.
Traditional Enemy.
I asked a Patriot leader about
this.
Il think you will find conditions
about the same he said, IF you
will bear one or two things in mind.
First, Corsica was taken over by
Italians. Italy has been our enemy
for centuries We have never made
peace with her. Every Corsican has
been brought up to regard Italy Gs
an enemy. This has been, no .lew
war-just a continuation of an old
one.
Second, every Corsican man
knows how to shoot, to shoot
straight and to shoot to kill He is
taught this as soon as he can hold
gun in his hands. I doubt If that
is true of the rest Of France

no rationing of free speech. What we
ask is less noise, less extreme state
ment, less knitting, less politics and
much more united action for victory.
How to Go About 1t
There is a natural tendency in all
of US when something goes wrong to
blame the other fellow. Let's restrain
ourselves from such outlets for our
disappointment for the duration. We
cannot win this war by pursuing the
policy of the Duchess in Alice in
Wonderland-is "Off with his
head!" orders against whoever dis
pleases us.
An example in point is the recent
disturbance at the Boeing Aircraft
plants in Seattle The workers in
these plants have waited for almost a
year for the Government to give them
a square deal. Their wages are atroci-
o"'AS AN"' 1hCii SillplOyeIS dumlG IQlS
and want to give them a raise. The
National War Labor BOARD at this
writing is still holding up the works.
These workers not only have failed to
get pay increases to make up for ex-
ira living costs but they see other
workers in other nearby industries
doing the same kind Of job and get
ting paid much higher rates. Natural
ly they are restless and disassatisfied.
Well, what happened? Due to
misunderstanding, number of work
ers left their jobs to attend a protest
meeting. Produ tion was said to
have been interrupted three hours.
Immediately the press denounced the
workers for Striking" Immediately.
