There appears 70 be some agree
ment between the big three on
armistice conditions and the occu-
pational partition OF Germany
between American. British and
Russian forces. as adopted and
recommended by the Allied ad-
visory committee in London, bu,
even that has not been ratified.
That the Wet or OF Allies,
united in war. arc divided into TWO
gigantic camps. fundamentally OPP
posed and widely divergent in
their views on peace in postwar
Europe vas starkly revealed by
Prime Minister Churchill'S pas
slonstc fighting spec h in the
House of Commons a few days
ago.
In June. 1870. Hitler told me /
in Belgium that he wanted TOT
establish contact with London for
the discussion of peace.
He seemed convinced the war
Was all but over.
said:
"Mr. Fuehrer. you are de-
celving yourself. The British
will never talk with you"
HE GETS EXCITED
Hitler argued, got excited and
shouted;
''Why not 1 demand nothing
from England except one thing
that the English keep their
political hands of the continent.
The continent il mine"
In effect, Stain also seems TO
be saying the continent IS mine.
But wiser and more astute than
Hitler. he is not saying il out loud.
Churchill recently declared:
Democracy Is not a harlot
Ia be picked up In the street by
a man with a tommy gun"
RE freedom IN America causes (.
many Of our people 10 mix senti-
mentality with democracy in !
Europe.
The people of Europe arc in
veritable carnival of human mis-
cries.
Coalless, freezing cold. the
pangs of gnawing hunger like
specters dance around bare /
Christmas trees in utter mockery
OF ChriSt's peace and good will
tosall men"
For Britain there is more than
democracy at stake in Greece.
For many years there has been
an alliance between Britain and
Greece by which the British have
secured rights in Greek ports for
naval stations and bases.
SOVIET TIEUP SEEN
A Red Greece, like Tito In
Yugoslavia and like France has
done. would doubtless make an
alliance with Moscow instead of
England
The Greek ports might then be-
come Russian naval bases.
That would leave Gibraltar as
Britain's only naval base along the
north coast line of the Mcditer-
ranean.
With large number of French
Communists in France, the Soviet
French alliance may conceivably,
sooner or later make France the
forefield for the renewal Of inten-
sive Communist penetration into
Spain
A Red Spain, in all probability,
would make an alliance with Soviet
Russia as France has done.
That could bring into grave
question the strategic Importance
of Gibraltar.
AT last. perhaps too late.
Churchill sees in its stark reality

ing power of Soviet Russia.

THE LEAST WE CAN DO

Sure, it's hard for US over here,
thousands of miles from it, to get the
picture of air warfare We can't see
the faces on those kids our kids
as they punch the big bombers
through ack-ack. We can't know
what's in their heads and their hearts
when shell cracks through and one
of them slumps in his seat. And we
never will know. For they'll never be
able to tell us all of it :. But we can
pray and hope and help in
the small ways we can like buying
war bonds They ask us all of
US to Back the Attack with War
Bonds at least one more bond
than we've been buying. A few dol
lars more of help which we get
back with interest. Will we do it? Can
we do anything else and look them in
the face on that blessed day of vic
tory? What do you think?

LANDING CRAFT OUTPUT
NOW AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

Washington, D. C. The steadily
increasing movement of landing craft
along inland waterways to ocean en-
barkation points indicates the degree
to which labor has come forward to
speed up production, the War Man
power Commission announced.
A month ago landing craft produc-
tion was still behind schedule. But
the production report for April show
ed 35 per cent increase over March
production, bringing the whole pro-
gram 2 per cent ahead of schedule.
Deliveries of tank landing ships were
ahead of schedule for the first time.
Of the Is types of landing craft being
built, production was equal to or ahead
of schedule in all but two and they
were only slightly behind.
Employment reports to the War
Manpower Commission show an in
crease of $500 over the March en-
ployment of 106,500 workers in "a
firms engaged largely or exclusively
in landing craft production. VINO now
estimates that only $4,000 workers
will be needed within the next six
months although the great part of
them will be needed by July 1!

ADMIRAL CHEERS
NAVY WAR OUTPUT

Washington, D. C.-The production
effort of American war workers is
making life increasingly miserable
for Mr.. Tojo and Company" accord
ing to Rear Admiral Dewitt C. Ram
sey, Chief of the Navy's Bureau of
Aeronautics.
The Admiral said that from July l,
1910, through the end Of last year. 762
fighting ships aggregating 2,350,000
tons and 28,500 subsidiary vessels ag-
gregating 100000 tons were con-
structed. The subsidiary craft included
about $4,000 landing craft.
He termed the rate of expansion of
the Naval air arm "even more spectac-
ular" than that of the fleet. The out
put of Naval aircraft in December
1941 was given as 288 planes while
more than 1000 planes, practically all
combatant types, were produced by
aircraft workers in December 1943.
s.The production of Naval Ordnance
similarly has been on fantastic
SCALE" the Admiral said. Between De-
cember 1941 and December 1943 the
output of torpedoes increased 900 per
cent while the production of fire con-
troll directors jumped 5000 per cent
in the same period
Admiral Ramsey termed the pro-
duction of anti-aircraft weapons and
control mechanisms Outstanding in
the ordnance field" These control
mechanisms permit American ships to
pour a concentrated fire upon the
enemy's air formations at high alti-
tudes and in the cases of strafng
fighters, dive bombers, and torpedo
planes, to follow them all the way
down or in and maintain whitening
fire upon them with the guns of vari-
Gus calibers for the range of fire.

LABOR CAN TAKE LEAD

Labor in Maryland has shown the
way to national labor fight on racial
intolerance by holding of special
conference in Baltimore to discuss
ways and means of checking the ris-
ing tide of race tension in the nation
About $50 labor leaders, representing
the most important AFL, CIO and
railroad unions in Baltimore and
Maryland attended
The two sessions of the conference
were devoted to a discussion of the
technique employed by disruptive ele-
ments to SOW confusion among the
groups which make up America. 1t
was emphasized that nti-Senitism
and racial prejudice are powerful
weapons in the hands of the reaction
ary elements who are trying to de-
stroy the American trade union move
ment.
Speakers included Matthew Woll,
AFL vice-president; James B. Carey,
CIO ary-treasurer and Adolph
Held, national chairman of the Jew
ish Labor Committee.
Following the addresses, which were
broadcast, resolution was unani-
mously adopted called upon labor to
intensity the struggle against all
forms of group intolerance and dis
elimination against minorities. If la
Dor generally will respond actively to
this call, it can take the lead in curb
ing one of the most hateful and dis
turbing tendencies in present day
American life.

HOUSING RESTRICTIONS
TO STAY, WPB SAYS

Washington, D. c. (ILNS) There
is little hope of an early relaxation of
restrictions on private housing con-
struction, despite prediction by a
National Housing Agency official
that a partial resumption of such
building is coming, War Production
Board executive said here.
Philip Boyd, head of the WPB's
Forest Products Division, explained
that the trouble is a lumber shortage.
He said military demands for lumber
are increasing steadily
The WPB statement came shortly
after L. H. Keyserling, general coun-
sci for MIA, told the House Commit
tee on Buildings and Grounds that
WPB soon would issue priorities and
release building materials for a par
tial resumption of private housing
construction. Private building has
been restricted since April, 1912.
