FOR THOSE so fortunate as to have holiday
on Labor Day, here's some good advice from
the National Safety Council:
Stay near home over the holiday. Don't
travel unless YOU absolutely have to-
Give your car holiday vacation. 1t saves
gas, tires-and lives. If you must drive, be extra
careful
3-if YOU swn-wat an hour after eating
don't 90 in alone swim near shore and within
your depth . don't show off,
Take it easy. Over-eXertion and over-ex-
posure to sun on a holiday keep lot of people
away from the job the next day.
dedicate Labor Day to the boys who are
lighting for our independence avoiding acci-
dents that waste manpower, time and material
vital to victory.

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Swedish newspapers, which have eX
ceptional opportunities for learning
what is going on inside Germany, be
| lieve that Naz defeat is not far off
but fear there will be desperate strug
| giles before the Allies win crushing
victory.
In an editorial headed 'Precipitate
leading labor organ, warns against pre-
mature peace optimism based on re-
cent developments. 1t points out that
it is already now apparent that the
Nazi party has won out, at least tenn
porarily, aginSt those generals who In
killing Hitler saw a way out of com
plete defeat.
The military editor of the Conserva-
tive Svenska Dagbladet of Stockholm
writes that Everything indicates that
Germany's defeat is rapidly drawing
closer. Before that, however" he con
tinues, the German people, like an
exhausted horse, will be spurred and
whipped until it finally drops"
Albin Johansson, head of the Swe-
dish Cooperative Union, who planned
leaving in July, decided to cancel his
trip, because of recent international
developments which he believes might
indicate that the war may be over
sooner than is expected.
A recent court action brought against
the Dutch NaZi Labor Front in occu-
pied Holland has been construed by
the Nazis themselves as indicative of
their waning influence as a result of
sweeping Allied victories.
According to the controlled news
paper De Telegram of Amsterdam, the
management of flour factory at
Schiedam not only refused to accept
wage dispute, but had the leaders of
the front brought before Rotterdam
court on the grounds that they had
"created disturbance on factory
premises with loudspeaker mounted
on truck"

repetition, warned that it would be
fined 1000 guilders.
The action reused Fl. J. Wouden-
berg, head of the front to declare,

Negotiation of international agree

San Francisco (FP).-Thousands of
white collar workers on the west coast
may seek wage boosts averaging so
monthly under salary bracket scred-
ules announced by the 10th regional
War Labor Board for 26 clerical

by the national WLB.
The rates run from 500 for office

into effect until approved in each in

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

! ABOR'S ACTIONS speak louder than words
A the Navy Department declared in reporting
that ON August l8 its fighting fleet was three
times as great as the number Of combatant ships
ON hand on July l, 1910, when the Navy's inten-
sive shpbuilding program was inaugurated. The
Navy viii have l19 combatant ships on that date
as compared with the 383 available when the huge
construction program began. 1.-The Navy points
out that the fleets growth is due to the splendid
cooperation OF American labor.
In addition, the number Of Navy planes on
hand at the close of the last fiscal year was al
most twenty times the number on hand on July |,
1910 and the number of planes on handmore than
doubled during the 1894 fiscal year.
The American public has been fed so much
ant-labor propaganda about strikes crippling the
war effort about absenteeism cutting down pro-
duction and other such alarming stories that this
news of the Nays remarkable growth in SO short
a time will probably surprise many people. They
would not be so surprised if they had ever stopped
to think that the thousands of planes, tanks guns
coming off the assembly line, and the hundreds OF
ships Of all kinds sliding down the ways each
month didn't build themselves. AS the Navy
says, Labors actions speak louder than words

Belgium-INS-The smashing de-

in the Allied advance through Bel

this area, where the results OF the

with the swollen carcasses and

there was justice in It. AS a one
armed resident OF Coegnics re-
marked:
This is what the boche did to
us in 1940.'
There were some 500 vehicles in
this one OF three enemy columns
which ran solidly into American
armor and infantry sweeping into
Mons. II was hard fight at first
but the Yanks soon bottled up the
Germans and then cut them to
| pieces.
Many American-made cars were
in the wreckage, probably captur-
ed at Dunkirk. Sporty staff cars
OF French and American make
were captured intact.
An interesting thing about the
German divisions trapped by our
advance is the fact that they
fought only sporadically. The Bel
gian, who lost his arm in World
War /, told me that while Allied
artillery and planes worked over
the Nazi column, the Germans went
into nearby houses and got drunk.
They were drunk to begin with"
