to render Germany forever harm
less.
THE world" Stettinius declared
in his prepared address, may rest
assured that the United Sites, in
full agreement with our allies, is
inflexibly resolved upon whatever
steps may be necessary to insure
that neither Germany nor Japan
will ever again have the military
or industrial capacity to make war.
Repeatedly emphasizing that
from now on there are no longer
purely European problems of war
and peace or American problems
of war and peace" Stettinius said
the Big Three decisions will give
strong expression to the objectves
OF the Atlantic Charter. He stress
ed that the United States is es-
pecially interested in the agree
ment for Joint action to assure free
dom OF government and indepen-
dence to the liberated and former
satellite nations of Europe.
THE United Sites will not shirk
its responsibilities in seeing to it,
so far as it is within our power,
that this purpose is achieved" Stet-
tinius said.
He told the conferees that he
had discussed the meeting with
President Roosevelt only about a
week ago.
II reviewed the achievements of
the Crimea Conference with the
President of the United States
when met him again three days
after we had left the Crimea," he
said. 1T is the Presidents firm
conviction that the results of the
Crimea Conference have greatly
advanced the basic detectives OF
United States foreign policy,
He said one of the overall pur.
poses of the Crimea Conference
was to lay the groundwork for
stopping war in the future Eat the
point, whatever point it may be
on the surface of the earth, where
war begins.
He declared that the same great
objective must be before the meet
ing here in Mexico City and srve
as a spur to the maintenance and
peace of the same kind OF unity
which the hemisphere nations have
had in war.
Stettinius did not 60 into the Ar.
gentine problem which has occu.
pied so much of the opening dis
cussions here. Nor in fact did he
do more with respect to Pan-Amer-
lean questions than sketch broadly
the need for continued unity in this
hemisphere in defense and political
and economic matters.
He did promise that the United
States government will use to the
fullest its facilities, including the
lending power of the Export-Im-
port Bank to promote economic
ally sound industrial development
and the modernization of agricul-
ture" in the other hemisphere coun.

adonted overwhelmingly. If it is,
Hook will be brought before the
House by the sergeant-at,arms
and administered an official re-
buke by the Speaker.
The two Democrats said a SINH
lar resolution of censu1e might be
advanced against Rankin, but they
predicted it would be tabled
Cox said 'the only thing that
saves Mr.. Hook from expulsion is
Mr. Rankin's prior remarks
which led up to the fight. COX
thought they were pretty harsh:" -
Hook heard the talk of disciple
nary negotiations without getting
very disturbed.
..If they do, there might be an
other resolution too" remarked
Hook, his thoughts still obviously
aimed at Rankin.
IF John Rankin would resign
his seat I'd be more than happy
to 90 with him, for the good of the
country
There was a confusion of shouts
and short angry words between
the two before Rankin plunged
down the aisle to grapple with
Hook. But these are the words
that led up OF the battle as the
official reporters for the Congress
sional Redord heard them:
"Mr. Hook: If the gentleman
from Mississippi will quit his raw
ing and ranting and get down and
at least assist the good citizens of
the CLIO he would probably be do
ing service to this country"
"Mr. Rankin: Whenever I get
down to the gentleman's level as it
is reflected down here by this
FEPC and Communist party that
he has been mixed up with
"Mr. Hook: You are God
damned liar when you say Com
munist party
That did it.
Rankin ripped out of his seat
shouting Il won't take those
words" He hurried down the aisle
and tore at Hook, failing his
arms as he advanced. They clinch-
ed and keaved around for almost
minute before other members
came between them.
1t was the first time the House
had seen a fight since about four
years ago when former Rep. Bev-
erly M. Vincent of Kentucky and
former Congressman Sweeny OF
Ohio traded punches.
Hook said after the encounter
that he once was welterweight
champion of Michigan, Illinois and
Indiana.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .
BY DOUGLAS LARSEN


WASHINGTON - Millions OF
returning veterans-the estimat-
ed 80 per cent of men in service
who don't have unemployment
rights-face bitter disillusion-
ment when they try to get jobs
in industry during the reconver-
sion period.
Most of industry IL covered
by union contracts which estab-
lish the seniority rights Of work
ers. The unions contention, up
held by a regional War Labor
Board ruling. is that a veteran
cannot use his service seniority
rights in getting a new job. Once
he gets a job, they say, and pass
es a satisfactory probationary
period, then give him seniority
according to his length of service
in the armed forces.
During the reconversion Pc
riod practically every factory or
plant will have laid off some
workers. Result will be call
back lists Of varying lengths.
How will 1t be possible, then,
for vet to get a job in one Of
these factories until everyone
who had Job during the war
goes back to work? It won't,
AFL admits. In other words,
&C .ording to the way the unions
look at it, theoretically employ
ment will have to rise above the
wartime peak before there is a
chance for q veteran to get a
job.
Lessening the severity of this
situation, however, will be the
old men, women and transplant
ed war workers going home who
won't answer when the call back
list is read. But recent surveys
show a much smaller per cent Of
these workers expects to drop
out Of the labor market than was
previously estimated by the War
