.'STRIKES sweep the nnllon.
The ImprcsBion Is growing that
these strikes are not sincere ef
forts on the part of defrauded
workers to better their condition,
but instead are battles between ri
val leaders for POWKR.
IN THE General Motors strike,
for example, It' wnB asserted that
79 per cent of -the workers wanted
to GO ON WORKING,' but were
prevented from doing so by the 21
per cent.
This assertion was never suc
cessfully denied, and John L.
Lewis persistently refused to make
known the actual number of his
CIO members.
"TTIIS writer believes In the right
, of workers to organize and de

War lords to fight out their per
sonal quarrels, in the midst of the
business community to the great
Injury of the Innocent public.
(This, of course, Is a purely per

An county-wide committee to aid

named today by H. O. Pargeter,

county has a quota of only five
boys for the camp, it is epected that
a much larger number can be en

fill their quotas by the assigned
date or May 20. After that date
unfilled quotas will be given coun

ROME, March 2 (API Italy

the challenge of Great Britain's
vast defense rearmament.
Ordering virtually a lifetime or
"Integral militarization" for Its

cil "definitely" scouted even the
"remote possibility of armament
limitation" and fashioned a flve
polnt program to keep Italy strong.
Proposed laws which would force
Italians to marry, have children
and produce soldiers will be dis
cussed bv the council tomorrow
night. Giuseppe llottnl, the minis

the proposals, which would em
brace confiscatory taxation for the
childless.
At the same time, the official
communique Issued niter the ses

operation of Italy with the fascial
