Prophetic Words
OF Churchill in
1910 Recalled

-Four years and two davs ago-on
June 4, l940-Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill stood in the House
OF Commons and told the British
people OF the colossal defeat SUI
Tered by their armies in France. To-
Gay the British and Americans are
striking the return blow he pre-
acted even in the shadow of defeat.
With more than 1000 big guns
and virtually all of Britain's other
war material in the hands of the
enemy IN Northern France, but
with 335 900 men of the British Ex-
pedltlonary Forces miraculously
rescued, Mr. Churchill proclaimed:
We shall not flag or fail. We
shall go on to the end. We shall
night IN France, on the seas and in
the oceans. We shall fight with
growing confidence and strength in
the air.
We shall defend our island
Whatever the cost may be. /.
we shall never surrender. And
even If, which I do not for a
moment believe, this island or a
Arge part Of it were Subjugated and
Starving. then our empire beyond
the seas, armed and guarded bv the
British feet, will carry on its
struggle until in Gods good time
the New World with all its power
and might sets forth TO the liberia
ton and rescue OF the Old"
Those were prophetic words.

War Plant Strikes
By the Associated Press.

by the ASSOClateQ STeSS.
CHICAGO, June 6. - President
James c. Petrillo of the AFL Amer
lean Federation of Musicians yes
terday accused William Green, pres
ident of the American Federation
of Labor, of failing to repudiate
big strikes in war plants"
In a speech to the ATM 48th
convention, Mr.. Petrillo referred to
recent strikes by musicians at radio
stations VIVID. Chicago, and KSTP,
st. Paul, Mimi, and said:
did Bill Green repudiate any
strikes of machinists on the West
Coast when they tied up munitions
and supplies necessary for our SOL
diers? Now we have a labor leader
raising the flag and waving it in
our faces and declaring that we will
lose the war because of a strike
against two little radio stations,
but not doing anything about the
big strikes in war plants"
Mr.. Petrillo also told the 720
delegates: Let's start right now
and clean up the racketeering as it
should be done. If you do away
with the crooked employers, then
they will not be able to deal with
the crooked labor leaders.
Il demand, Mr.. Green, that you
use all the power and money of
the American Federation of Labor
to see that the employers also are
convicted when they connive with
the labor leaders of the AFL,"
The radio station strikes, ter
minated by the War Labor Board,
followed Mr.. Petrillo's demand that
union musicians be employed to
change records on canned music"
programs.
