rations by both Britain and the
axis to fight in the North African
desert in the coming winter
months and the threats of Japan
to strike southward without delay
because of what the Tokyo press
called the "insufferable" hostility
of Pritain and the United States.
The Japanese news agency Do
mi was quoted as saying that an
"undeclared war" with the de
mocracies already was in prog
ress. Both Russia and China were
understood in London to have
called upon Britain to take dras
tic action to prevent Japan from
striking, presumably by making it
clear that London would declare
war. The British were said to
have been seeking a clarification
ef Washington's stand in event of
Japanese attack on Thailand or
the Burma road.
China Asks Aid
China also was understood in
London to have appealed to Presi
dent Roosevelt for American air
planes and perhaps personnel to
aid in defense of the Burma road,
which is more vulnerable to aeri
al attack than to a land offensive.
It was understood that China's
need for planes was extremely
acute, although Tokyo had re
ported that about 30 American
airplanes were already in action
on the Burma road.
At Chungking, a military spokes
man said that Japanese planes
would attack the Burma road
from Japanese bases in Indo
china "immediately" in event of
failure of the peace mission of
Saburo Kurusu, at Washington,
where it was felt that the chances
of success were extremely slim.
London military authorities re
ported some details of losses
which the Germans are suffering
in their campaign to get to Mos
cow and Rostov. They said that
16 of 19 German panzer divisions
had suffered "appreciable" losses,
which probably means more than
10 per cent casualties, while 70 of
160 infantry divisions had suf
fered similar losses, with some
of them losing up to 50 per cent
of their effectives.
Leaders Killed
The possibility of important
political developments in France
was raised by the death of Gen.
Charles Huntsinger, the Vichy war
minister, and six others in an
airplane crash in southern France.
The short, slight French army
leader had been on a highly im
portant inspection tour of Africa
for Marshal Henri Philippe Pe
tain. Huntziger's report to Petain
might have decided the future of

he explained, then it must see to
it that the sinews of war are ade
quately provided.
"Production requires equal ef
forts of labor and management
as well as a recognition of mutual
rights." Allen continued.
"Must Give Up Eights"
"Organized labor is going to be
required to give up some of the
riehts thev have foueht for." de
clared Gunther Krause, Portland
attorney for waterfront employ
ers. "Labor plans," Mr. Krause
said, "to put organized welfare
ahead of the welfare of the coun
try, and has certainly deliberately
promoted its own selfish aims."
If labor does not act by itself
to make its cooperation in na
tional defense effort complete it
will be acted upon by outside
forces, it was agreed by Mr.
Krause, Dr. Aitchison and Mr.
Greenman.
In answer to questions by mem
hprs of the audience as well as
participants on the panel, Mr. Al
len and Mr. Craycraft concurred
in the opinion that organizea
labor had done its part and would
continue to do Its cart.
No Strikes
No strikes have been called by
the Pacific coast longshoremen
since the big strike in 1937, Mr.
Craycraft pointed out.
A question from the audience
directed to Mr. Krause asked
about "the slow-down you re
ferred to. Is it due to poor work
manship, to poor management, or
to ooor mach'-ry?"
There has n a tremendous
slow-down by labor since it was
organized into unions, answered
Mr. Krause.
In reoly to Mr. Krause s state
ment Mr. Craycraft said that spe
cial union committees have sue
cessfully worked together with
management to decrease the num
ber of accidents that occur.
Antl-Fasrest
Longshoremen have refused at
times to load scrap-iron: they
have refused to load a ship flying
the nazi flag: and thev have
maintained a Chinese picket line
along the wholec oast, said Mr.
Craycraft. when asked from the
floor what the longshoremen had
previously done to fight fascism.
wouia unions give up collec
tive barsaining in order to rnak
the defense effort complete?"
askri Mr. Greenman.
"The question oueht to be.
'Will unions go out of existence?'
for that's what it means if they
lose collective bargaining," an
swered Mr. Allen.
proconsul in Africa, who has been
a stumbling block to nazi plans
for taking over Africa. Germany
has sought to bring pressure on
Petain to oust Weygand, but the
old marshal had used weygand s
African army as a cheek on the
axis in the past and apparently
was still trying to prevent loss of
that ace card.
Vichy reported, however, that
Huntziger might be replaced by
Gen. Henri Fernand Dentz, who
had been on good terms with the
Axis. If Dentz gets the job it may
be the signal for the departure of
Weygand and for the seizure of
control by extreme pro-axis ele
ments in Vichy.

Shippers Worried
The threatened nationwide rail
road strike caused extreme concern
to the country's shippers as well as
to the administration.
The five operating brotherhoods,
representing 350,000 workers, de
cided to walk Out progressively
Dec. 7, 8 and 9 in support of their
demand for a 30 per cent wage
boost. A fact finding board ap
pointed by President Roosevelt
(headed by Wayne L. Morse) had
recommended a V& per cent in
crease which the men rejected
flatly but which the carriers said
they would accept. The lowest paid
of the operating personnel now
.receives $5.06 a day.
News Services Excepted
The projected telephone strike,
set to begin at midnight tomorrow,
would tie up long distance lines in
2 states. The union announced,
however, that it would "maintain
a sufficient force to keep Open
all news channels." This would
include the transmission of news
and photographs by wire.
John J. Moran, president of the
Independent Federation of Long
Lines Telephone Workers, said
the decision to call a walkout of
19,000 workers followed a meet
ing with the U. S. conciliation
service and representatives of the
American Telephone and Tele
graph company to discuss the un
ion's demands for a 4 per cent
wage boost and narrowing of geo
graphic differentials in pay.
There still appeared to h a
chance the strike would be averted
