Mediation Idea
Windsor's Dramatic Plea
for Peace Kept off
Air in England
Negotiation With Soviet
Continues; Signs of
Progress Noted
(By The Associated Press)
The duke of ; Windsor broadcast
a dramatic peace appeal Monday
night In his first radio appearance
since his historic abdication
speech two and one-half years ago.
' Speaking ; from an inn at the
World war fortress of Verdun, the
former British king declared: he
was breaking his self-imposed si
lence "now only because of : the
manifest danger that we may all
be drawing nearer a "repetition of
the grim events which happened
a quarter of a century agoV
Britons had to tnne in ' on
French , radio stations and short
wave broadcasts for the speech,
which was broadcast to the United
States, (because of the refusal of
the British Broadcasting corpora
tion to carry It. The Canadian
Broadcasting corporation likewise
declined to carry the address.
Speech la Printed
Though Criticized . -
British newspapers printed -the
speech, although they criticized
It in advance as; " untimely In
riew of the voyage of King George
VI and Queen Elisabeth to Can
ada and the. United States. '
Britain, meanwhile, offered if
asked to mediate in the German
Polish dispute over Danzig and
pressed with renewed vigor to
bring Soviet Russia into the British-French
front ' - :
Words of scorn greeted the
British offer in Berlin where the
nasi press thundered ' that the
Rome-Berlin axis now a military
alliance was made of steel and
k others must : accept It or break
their teeth on it."
In Morrow th British ambas
. aador delivered to the soviet gov
ernment Britain's counter-proposals
to Russia's far-reaching secur
ity plan. The British answer was
understood to hare turned down
the soviet proposal for a Brltish-French-Russian
guarantee to Bal
tic and Black aea states.: but to
have favored soviet assistance ; to
11 states on Russia's western bor
der and promised Brltl ft and
French a VI-if such assistance in
volved her in a conflict.
. The fascist press in Rome, laud
ing the new military alliance with
nasi Germany., asserted Adolf
Hitler and Benito Mussolini now
were prepared to negotiate Eu
rope's f'open problems."
There were several indications
Poland was moving into closer
relationship with Russia.

Ten of the 110 were women, six

'At the same time she announced
the negotiators' acceptance of the
White House invitation, the sec
retary struck out at the operators.
She asserted that In refusing ta
continue operations, pending nego

which expired March 31, they had
been guUty of a "violation ot the

Lewis had said earlier In a blunt
letter to Dr. Steelman: I
"Failure of the Roosevelt ad

the industry in ' operation caased
many coal operators : to believe
that they had carte blanche to dis

A reference was made to the
suspended Roosevelt-Inspired
peace conferences of the CIO aad
AFL when Miss Perkins was asked x-
whether the rivalry between those
two organisations was a factor ta
the coal deadlock., j v :i ,
I "It is a vital factor," she re
plied, "though not the sole fac
tor." 1 The TJMWA has f contended in
the coal negotiations that it need
ed contract clauses that would
protect it from rivals, presumably
the AFY's progressive miners.
. In a resume ot the negotiations,
which she said she had given the
deadlocked conferees. Miss Per
kins indicated the two principal
bars to the signing of the contract

for either (1) a "union shop" or
(2) 'elimination of strike penalty

Miss Perkins said no : conclu

reached at her conference with the
negotiators. Unless an agreement
was signed quickly, however, she
added, the government must make
"one, , two, three i. recommendations.-

She did not specify what those
might be, but added at that point
that a "practical course" might be
adopted for. supplying coal to in
