the hitherto land of the Rising Sun
where they are about to witness an
eclipse.
1t is not only surprising, but it is
indeed shocking to witness otherwise
loyal Americans (even though the
number is smalD who express no
hesitancy whatsoever in buying Jap
anese dinner sets. However, it is in
deed gratifying to note the number
of people who have previously de-
cided to make purchases of japanese
ware and refuse to do so when in
formed of the source of the merchan-
disc.
While to some it may seem a folly
and a waste of time to carry on this
campaign in defense of the means OF
our livelihood as potters, neverthe-
less, we think it is a necessary step
in the right direction. The customers
are informed by the sales people the
Japanese dinner sets are open stock
merchandise and at the end of hos
tilities with Japan, it will be possible
to make requirements from time to
time down through the years, this we
all understand in addition to supply
ing a market for Japanese merchan-
disc, creates continuity of business
for the Japanesepottery nlanufac-
turer and continual flow of Ameri-
can dollars to Japan which con-
tributes in large measure to unem-
ployment Of American pottery work
ers and others who must be supported
in their unemployment through sew
eral forms of taxation. Therefore, it
is an economic fact that even though
the Japanese merchandise when pur-
chased by the American public, SEEM
ingly indicates wise buying at the
moment of purchase, nevertheless,
when the economic cycle is completed,
the sum total in dollars and cents,
seemingly saved, is more than offset
by additional taxation, in normal or
sub-normal times.
The members of Local Union No.
POI, employed in the Wallace China
Co., together with the National Off
cials, are voluntarily walking the
picket line in self-defense and are
determined come what may to carry
the message of "Buy American" to
the purchasing public. Huntington
Park, city officials from the Mayor
on down the line are extending full
cooperation as is our District Con-
gressman, Chet Holifeld. We think
the low of the land which obligates
the Alien Property Custodian to offer
for sale alien enemy merchandise
should be amended to direct all such
merchandise should be destroyed. -

Our December meeting brought out
a record attendance. First Vice Presi-
dent Wheatley was on hand to install
the new officers and in his usual
frienly, unassuming but penetrating
manner, gave US a good talk. Follow
ing the meeting refreshments were
served and moving pictures were
shown. We actually saw our baseball
team in action again, and since the
pictures were in technicolor, it really
was delightful sitting in a nice warm
room enjoying refreshments on a
bleek December night, watching our
team playing in the glowing sunlight.
One quite forgot the weather until
they went outside.

Long Hours Bring

Chinese Findinq

Montreal (ILNS)-Excessive hours
of work result in many evils in China,

Driven hard, for long periods, as
the result Of war conditions, workers

says a report by the Bureau of Sta

AS summarized in the International
Labor Review, it is stated that ex-

New York City QLNS).-Two citi-
zens of Hawaii, convicted by military
courts under qualified martial law
while the civil courts were function
ing, we're properly tried and SEN
fenced, according to unanimous
opinion by the Circuit Court of APP
peals at San Francisco. They had
been freed by District Judge Metzger
of Honolulu. The military authorities
appealed from his decision granting a
writ Of habeas corpus.
The case against the military con-
victions was argued some months ago
before the Circuit Court of Appeals
by Garner Anthony of Honolulu,
former Attorney General of the Is
lands, supported by the entire Ha-
waiian Bar Association. The Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union filed brief
as friend of the court.

with officials in the administrative
services in Paris and in the Unoc-
cupied Zone, and at the same time
maintained equally clandestine con-
tact with the underground through
out France.
ILO Publication Distributed
Phelan said that report just re-
ceived from Miss Rommel-the first
she had been able to make to him
directly since the Nazi occupation OF
Paris-disclosed that during the occu-
patton the branch distributed large
quantities of lilo publications. He
explained that they were obtained
from the Hos Geneva office, with
which Miss Rommel was able to main
tain intermittent contact.
Among those who regularly obtain
ed publications, said Miss RommePs
report, were the General Confedera-
tion of Labor and the National Coun-
Gil of Resistance; officials of the
Ministry of Labor in Paris, and the
editors of the underground press.
Material Struggled Out
Miss Rommel said the Nazis took
possession Of the Boulevard St. Ger
main lilo office in December, 1910.
For a time after the requisition, her
report continued, the Germans per-
mitted the LILO staff to retain the use
of two rooms. But in February, 1941,
she said, they took over these rooms
also, elected the Hos employees, and
simultaneously launched propa-
ganda campaign in the collaboration
ist press designed to convince French
men that the lilo was dead.
The ILO in Paris was far from
dead, however. When the office was
requisitioned, the Germans offered a
job to one of the stenographers on
the staff, Madeleine Pene, and on the
advice of Miss Rommel she accepted
il. In the weeks that followed, with
the help of the caretaker of the build
ing and an office boy, Miss Pene was
able to smuggle out to Miss Rommel
large stocks of publications and other
material seized by the Nazis when
they occupied the office. At the same
time, Miss Pene began to intercept
messages and correspondence ad-
dressed to the lilo and pass them
along to Miss Rommel.
With the transfer of the publica-
tions and other material, Miss Rom
mel's home soon became a scene Of
intense activity, despite the fact that
knowledge of the work being carried
on in it could only be spread with
great caution. Requests for informa-
tion and Recommendation of all kinds
were received in steadily increasing
numbers, and demands grew for the
Hos publications.
Paris Branch Again Open
When Paris was liberated Aug. 25,
Miss Rommel's secret office had been
functioning for almost A years with
out molestation by the Nazis. Soon
thereafter she had her first opportun-
ity to inspect the branch's old Boule-
ward St. Germain premises. There she
found much evidence of the haste of
the Nazi evacuation, but in the cellar
she discovered untouched supply OF
publications stored there before the
occupation.
Re-established in it's former loca-
ton, the Paris branch is now buster
than ever, and lilo publications are
in great demand.
