Background for Belief

until three news items were called
to my attention. One was the state
ment that the CLIO committee of po-
litical action was planned as nu-
cleus of labor party. That didn't
smell of fascism but it had slightly
collectivist aroma.
The next item was in thu London
News Letter, little pamphlet edit
ed by Commander KingHall, men,
Der of parliament, the contents of
which are cabled to Toronto, Can
ada, where it is printed as an Amer
lean edition. King-Hall is an indie
pendent in politics with slightly con-
sentative leanings.
Here are the excerpts to which
refer:
&c. There are many indi-
cations at what might be called
the lower levels of domestic
practice, that there are forces
and tendencies at work in Brit
ain which are going to produce
great changes in our political
system. Some of these changes
were foreshadowed in a PAM
phlet entitled 1.-THE Future of
Party Politics" written by Com
mander King-Hall in 1887. 1t
was there argued that a crisis,
both domestic and International,
was developing and demanding
for its solution high degree of
national unity in Britain, and
that the political expression of
that unity, and the instrument
for making it effective must be
national government :"
In other words, the writer means
by a national government" a CO.
alition government such as England
has now with no opposition-what
amounts to single party.
The Mood in Britain
And here is another excerpt, a
quotation from speech in the house
of commons which the London News
Letter says was given wide meas
ure of assent"
%. Government must al
ways be by majority but let it
not be by party controversy and
party majority. In this country
at the present time, there seems
to be coming into being a GEN.
trail body of opinion very well
and adequately represented on
all sides of this house. It is to
that central body of opinion that
I should like the government
to appeal in a holder and more
forward-stepping policy . -
This speaker continues his appeal
for a single central body of opin-
ION" and warns against dividing a
people (the British) who provide
some bridge between the extreme
capitalism of the United States and
the extreme collectivism of Russia"

At recent White House press and
radio conference, the President was
explaining his pre-Christmas remark
that it was time to discard the
term New Deal"-the remark that
gave the cartoonists so much fun.
He used fable about "Old DR.. New
DEAL who had healed the patient of
internal troubles" (the depres-
sions). But when the patient had an
accident and had broken his arms
and legs, he had to call in his part
ner CDR. Win-the-War" to heal him.
A correspondent asked: Doesn't
that add up to fourth term declara-
tion?"
The President showed his irrita-
ton in his answer. He said that
that hadn't been under discussion,
that the question was picayune.
Then he caught himself, leaned
back, half smiled, half apologized,
with the remark that the questioner
would understand that he had to an
swer that way.
Two things came to my mind at
once. First, that the President was
thinking about the war and postwar
problems, and to be brought back
to earth with bump was very much
like being awakened by an alarm
clock in the midst of an interest
ing dream. That was one thing I
thought of.
Another was just what the United
States, and the whole world for that
matter, would be suffering from aft
er the war and what the cure would
be, if any.
Recently there have been several
predictions that we were in "for a
dose of mild fascism."

Boston, May 5-{UP)-with tre-
naendous military operations inn
pending, nothing must be allowed to
interfere with war production, Brig.
Gen. John M. Clark Of the Middle
town, Pa, Air Service Command
said today. &
In a speech prepared for the New
England war production progress
luncheon, Gen. Clark stressed the
Importance Of keeping war produce
ton the prime concern Of the home
front.
"Our enemies are putting forth
every effort to keep up their war
production, !" said Gen. Clark. They
are using forced labor from the. &C.
cypied countries, Their industries
have been bombed"
1.-THE. time for invasion draws
nearer he continued. everything
needed must be where 1t Is needed,
and In the amount needed. Once
our boys are committed, they can't
take time out for working conditions
or wage disputes. Their work stop
pages or slow-dowris will be paid
for In blood and probable defeat.
The die vii lbe cast; thousands Of
young lives, the future Of our colin-
try, and the we'll being Of mankind
are at stake. Production must not
fail them" .-....
Capt. @. L. Menoccal, USN, COM
inander OF destroyer squadron
which took part in FIVE alnphibious
operations, also called upon civil
ians no ito relax on the production
front.
Speaking to production and labor
odicials, the captain urged that they
drive and hit harder than ever be-
fore.
Nothing must lessen or stand In
the way Of production Of those ma
terials and equipment essential to
the winning Of the war;" he said.
"You know yourselves. You know
your Jobs. You men are the leaders
Of New England's war production"
Vice Chairman Donald D. Davis
Of the War Production Board re-
vealed that during the current year,
this country will produce more than
$4,000, 900, 900 worth Of munitions,
supplies and equipment for our
armed forces an dour allies.
New England has done more than
her share In carrying this production
load" says Ravis. e.. obviously
there Is q fiexibility and an ingen-
uity In the productive mechanism In
this area which has enabled New
England to do much with little"
Asserting that the overall sched-
ule Of war production now is rising
and must continue to rise for
months to come, he said schedules
include types Of weapons and mate
rails which will be most vitality
needed by our fighting men in the
grim connbats which lie just ahead
Of U.s."
"As our offensives open, we can
best protect the lives Of our boys
by making certain that they have
an abundance Of equipment"

day from further prosecution as one
of the 30 defendants in the wars
biggest sedition trial.
The quiet almost-deaf defendant,

Urges Swift
Seize Probe

Washington, May 5-(Up)-Rep.
Charles s. Dewey, r., Ill, urged the
House today to put an end to high
handed and distatorial acts" in this
country by giving swift and unarli-
nous approval Of Montgomery Ward
g. co.
He made his appeal as the House
prepared TO act on his proposal to
create a special seven-man commit
tee to investigate President Roose-
velts authority to take over the
firms Chicago properties and to use
force to eject Its board chairman,
Sewell l.. Avery, from the premises.
Admitting that Congress had CIV
en- Mr.. Roosevelt unusual wartime
powers, Dewey said that neither
Congress nor the people drought
those powers meant the loss Of our
constitutional liberties" He said the
plant seizure was comparable "only
to the dictatorial methods OF Hit.
Ter.
His appeal conceded with two
other developments in the contro-
versy:
/. Sen. Styles Bridges, r., N. H.,
suggested that the senate broaden
its current inquiry to determine why
reporters were "rigidly barred" from
a Chicago hearing by regional d.
rector Of the National Labor Rela-
tons board.
Q. Rep. Fred Crawford, r., Mich,
introduced two other resolutions IN
connection with the Ward contro-
versy One would call on the House
judiciary committee to make an i'm.
mediate study and establish a
ready reference list Of powers Of the
President when functioning as COM
m a n d r-in-c h lief" The other
amounted to q settlement for the
record that It had never been the
inent Of Congress to grant the presi-
dent or commander-in chief" pow
ers to seize privately-owned property
not used directly in production or
transmission of war goods.

Greece Has
Martial Law

London, May S. - CUP - A
spokesman for the Greek exile gov
eminent said today TINT the Ger
mans had proclaimed martial law
In Crete and ordered personnel on
all Greek airdromes to stand BY In
readiness for all eventualities" APP
parently In the belief that an Allied
invasion Of the Balkans may be I'M
minent.
German airmen based on Greece
also were ordered, as Of May l, to
make frequent reconnaissance
flights over Greek coastal waters,
the spokesman said. The martial
law proclamation in Crete followed
the successful kidnapping Of the COM
manding general of the garrison by
British Commons last month.
A Lisbon dispatch specialized
openly that the Allies may be con-
templating landing in the Middle
East coincidental with their in
vasion Of western Europe. and Tur-
key was reported preparing for its
possible entry into the war.
The military observer Of the Lis
bon Republica said the Allies may
invade the Balkans In a move to
reinforce Yugoslavian troops who
have been fighting the Germans
almost continuously since the occu-
patton.
Ankara radio quoted Turkish For
eign Minister human Menemencio-

prised If the nation was brought in
to the war.
IF the military effort Of Turkey
is at stake one day and many OF US
are obliged to resort to arms, this
