hours. 1 forget the exact reason

the Allied pace that has sent war

city of Aachen was among their

1t would have been better, no
doubt, if the remarks about strikes
prolonging the war had first been
made directly to the labor leaders
face to face rather than broadcast
anonymously. I was present when
the remarks were made, and l
have no doubt myself that if the
leaders had had chance to hear
rot only the broad conclusion but
had been able to ask questions
and have the matter thoroughly
explained to them, they would
see the point.
For it is evident from what the
labor leaders have said in reply
that they honestly do not under
stand how strikes and the threat of
strikes may prolong the war.
When they do understand it, they
will not bubble over whether the
effect has been to prolong the war
six months, six weeks or even
six days.
While the speaker was making
his remarks, I recalled an incident
which after twenty-five years is
still terrible reminder of how
tragic can be the effect of the
thoughtlessness of a civilian upon
the lives of soldiers. I was then
an intelligence officer attached to
Colonel Houses mission in Paris
which was arranging the armistice

to surrender but there had to be

fore the terms could be submitted

Since a minority of the finance
committee has filed report crl-

The section covering the excise
tax increases-estimated to yield
an additional S1,O11, 100000 year

The Army Air Forces indicated
today that one of the chief handi-

against an enemy-the need for
long training of personnel - has
been avoided in the revolutionary
jet-propelled combat plane.
Brig. Gen. B. W. Chidlaw, chief
of the Army Air Forces materisl

cussion of some of the flying char
