BiddIe Asks Legion
To Help Avert Split in
labor-SoIdier Unity
BY the Associated Press.

~ the ASSOCIATED PreSS.
NEW YORK, July Attorney
General Biddle, expressing concern
that rift may develop between SOL
diers and workers, asked the Amer
ican Legion last night to serve rs
"a liaison of patience and under
standing. to help iron out prejudices
on one side and mistakes on the
other"
In a speech at meeting Of Man
haitian Legionnaires he said such q
rift must not be allowed If I'VE are
to win the peace"
Condemning strikes, Mr.. Biddle
absolved responsible union leaders"
from blame, but said the soldiers
will not be able to understand why
they were "let down" and will come
home blaming unions-fairly or not.
Labor's Future At Stake.
Therefore," said Mr.. Biddle, "the
very future of organized labor I.
Is today at stake"
He said unauthorized strikes have
been on the increase, "A tragic and
shameful fact" and called each one
a "tank-trap in the path of our in
vading armies"
1t Is not hard to understand the
soldiers bitterness, he said, and
their talk is hard to answer because
for the most part they are right.
And yet such talk is largely
founded on a misunderstanding Of
the domestic economy" the cabinet
member asserted.
The broad picture of production in
two and a half years is far from
discouraging, he said. In fact the
results are magnificent" and the
leaders OF organized labor and in
dustry are Jointly responsible. Both
sides have stuck to the spirit of the
no-strike, no-lockout agreement, he
declared. They have played the
game fairly" Production has real
ly never faNered."
Asks Unity Of Spirit.
Mr.. Biddle, therefore, pleaded for
unity OF spirit" saying the Ameri-
can Legion, understanding the view
points of soldiers, can greatly help
and influence those soldiers when
they return"
Factory workers are no different
from other Americans" he added.
They. too. have sons and brothers
and buddies in the thick of the
fighting"

information has been received that
1t was properly delivered.
Mail Exchanges Arranged.
The japanese, he said, offered to
send a ship At regular intervals to
vladivostok, Russia. for additional
supplies, but the Russians baked
at allowing the Japanese to enter
that port and suggested two others.
Japan has the alternate proposal
under consideration.
Shipment Of mail for prisoners Of
war from the United States by air
to Teheran and thence to Japan by
a surface route across the Soviet
Republic has started, Senator
Thomas said. Japan has indicated
willingness to forward home bound
prisoner mail by that route, but
none has yet been received, he
