Big Army Is Not Needed,
Montgomery Contends
BY the Associated Press


PARIS, Aug. 28.-Field Marshal
Viscount Montgomery, chief OF
Britain's Imperial General Staff,
says he does not believe a modern
power needs a big army.
Many countries believe that the
only solution is to have a strong
army" Lord Montgomery said at
dinner last night concluding the
first day of visit here as a guest
of Paris.
II am not of that advice. 1t is
necessary, in the first place, to
develop national character and that
is a question of education"
Lord Montgomery added:
IF you want to estimate the
strength of a nation, it Is by the
dispersal OF its industrial potential
that you can evaluate the pos
sibilities of this nation to make
war"

hTES STATEMENT ONLAB0R DISPUTE
 HOW AT SUPPORT

Gus H Glssberg, manager Of the lccal Alaska Territorial Employ ment Service cffice has issued the following statement relative to the labor dispute in connection with the leading of lumber at the Juneau Government dock.
 We wish to correct any erron- ecus impression that the public may have that the Alaska Territorial Employment Service was making rcferrals of workers to an estab- lishment where they had knowledge that a labor dispute existed.
 "On Monday morning, Feb. 10, we received a job order from the personnel office of the Juneau Support. requesting the referral of a dozen men to be processed for work as lumber handlers. During Monday and Tuesday, the 10th and 11th. twelve referrals were made to the Support personnel office, ten ; this number being World War II yeterans and one being a World Var l veteran.
 Early Thursday morning tthe ATES office being closed on We'd lesday. a legal Territorial Holiday,
 ne referral was made prior to any notification to the Employment of ice by the Union or anyone else nat a dispute existed.
 "The Veterans Employment Ser ice Representative for Alaska mo- flied the Employment office at ap- oroximately 10 o'clock Thursday morning that a picket line existed 1t the Support. This fact was im- nediately verilied and henceforth no further refewals of lumber handlers were made to the Sub port.
 This action is in line with usual -mployment Service policy, as pro- niulgated by the United States De- 1artment of Labor, to make no re- ierrals for a job at issue in a la OCT dispute unless the applicant is yiven a written notice of the dis oute at the time of referral. In this particular case we went even fur .her and referred absolutely no-one alter we received knowledge Of the dispute as noted above
 We believe it opportune at this time to point out again that the Employment Service remains inn cartial in labor disputes and that our principal function is to act as l central clearing house, a common meeting ground Tor the community where workers may obtain informa- ticn regarding jcb opportunities and employers may obtain information reearding available workers in or fer to preclude uncoordinated job hunting and labor recruiting by in- dividuals.
 Arthur A. Hedges, Director of the Alaska Territorial Employment Ser vice stated that the above-stated policy has been and will continue Q be the policy of the Employment Service in all their Alaska offices.
