WASHINGTON, Aug. 22. The lat
est patrloteer to appear on the hor

chairman of the congressional com
mittee now Indulging In a public
orgy of red-baitlng. The doings of
the Dies committee will be somewhat
disheartening to respecters, male and
female, conservative and liberal, of
the bill of rights, which guarantees
to all American citizens the liberties
of thought and speech, publication,
religion and assembly.
Irascible believers In that great

the Dies committee brand of Amer

by the mighty Dr. Samuel Johnson.
The human embodiment of common
sense was sitting one day In a tavern,
surrounded by a numerous and dis

and the Inevitable Boswell. Brown
bears, the poems of Osslan, the Erse
language and Addison's style had all
been discussed. Then, Boswell relates:
"Patriotism having become one of
our topics, Johnson suddenly utter

apophthegm at which many will
start: 'Patriotism is the last refuse
of a scoundrel.' But let It be consid

generous love of our country, but
that pretended patriotism which so
many. In all ages and countries, have
made a cloak for self-Interest."
But while some of Martin Dies'
witnesses may be scoundrels, the con

epithet. He Is merely and old-fashioned

PROPOSED JUNKING! Wife of Maest
OF 40-HOUR WEEK
SIS MISTERS
Two Resignations From Min
istry Follow Premier's An
nouncement Longer
Hours Held Defense Need
By the Associated Press
France faced a new Internal crlalE
today as the rift In Europe widened
over Insurgent Spain's rejection of a
plan for withdrawal of foreign fight
ers and Germany bid for sway over
the Danublan basin.
Two French ministers, Ludovlc
Frossard, minister, of public works,
and Paul Ramadier, minister of labor,
suddenly resigned.
No official reasons for the minis
ters' resignations were given but they
followed Premier Edouard Dalodler's
announcement last night he Intended
to scarp France's 40-hour week. Two
members of the same party took their
places.
Defense Need Cited
Financial and production difficul
ties were given by the premier In a
nation-wide broadcast last night as
his reasons for advocating longer
working hours, particularly In de
fense Industries,
He did not name Germany, but he
warned of states In central Europe
who "try out their forces." for whose
soldiers "there Is no longer any real
limit to the duration of military ser
vice" and for whose workers there Is
no limit to the duration of lab3r."
Insurgent rejection of the British-
Inspired plan to rid Spain of foreign
fighters threatened to lead to these
results:
1. Frustration of non-intervention
negotiators?' now faced with the
necessity of finding another proposal,
probably necessitating long delays,
2. Virtual nullification of Great
Britain's friendship agreement with
Italy, which Is to become effective
only after "settlement" In Spain.
3. The possibility that France
might open her Pyrenees frontier to
arms and men for the Spanish gov
ernment, which, in an earlier note,
accepted the withdrawal plan.
Nazis Impress Horthy
At impressive ceremonies for the
visit of Admiral Nicholas Horthy, re
gent of Hungary, Oermany launched
the 10,000-ton heavy cruiser Prince
Eugene, latest unit of her rebuilt
navy, at Kiel.
Arthur SeysK-Inquart, governor of
Austria, clearly bidding for Hungar
ian friendship, said:
"It Is well Intended the states of
middle Europe which, correctly realiz
ing how Indlssolubly they are bound
up with the German Reich, make
common cause with her for their
own good and for the liberation of
the Danublan people."
Fighting came ominously close to
Shanghai when 1.000 Japanese sol
dlera and bands of Chinese guerillas
battled on the western edge of the
city, in the Hungjao area where
Shanghai's big airdrome Is located.
In Spain, tho government reported
its defense lines were holding firmly
in Intense fighting against an Insur
gent attack on the Ebro front in
souther Catalonia which, it appeared,
may be the beginning of an Insur
gent general offensive.

First President of American
League Against War In
forms Probers Crippling
of War Munitions Sought
WASHINGTON1. Au$. 22. (API
Dr. J. B. Matthews told a house
committee today one of the alms
of the American league against war
and fascism waa to cripple American
munition industries and bring on
mutiny in the army In case of war
between the United States and Soviet
Russia.
Matthews, a writer and lecturer
who described himself as a disillu
sioned 'fellow traveler" with the
communists, was the first president
of the league.
He told the house committee In
vestigating un - American activities
when the league was organized In
1932 communists ''fully expected an
American-Soviet war."
League Rerhrlstened
Last winter the league was re
chrlstened the League for Peace and
Democracy, but Matthews said Its
program remained the same. Eight
government employes were listed as
members of the league In testimony
before the committee last week.
Matthews also related the com
munists tried to enter any major
party dispute, or "purge." and were
trying now to destroy the Democratic
party as a step toward "a soviet
America.'
In d lscuasl ng the league against
war and fascism, he said, a dramatic
incident of its first congress was
the appearance of an American sol
dier in uniform on the platform.
He said Earl Browdcr, secretary
of the Amerieon communist party,
subsequently reported to Moscow an
army delegate, attended the congress.
"I personally doubt If the man In
uniform was actually a soldier, how
ever, Matthews added.
Picketing, Htriklnc Used
He said at the first league con
gress the platform adopted pledged
members:
To work towards the stopping of
the manufacture and transport of
munitions and all other material
essential to the conduct of war.
through mass demonstrations, picket
ing and strikes.
To expose everywhere the extensive
preparations for war being carried
on under the guise of aiding national
recovery.
To oppose the policies of Ameri
can imperialism In the far east In
Latin-America, especially In Cuba,
nnd throughout the world.
To support the peace pol teles of
the Soviet Union, for total and uni
versal disarmament.
Matthews asserted he was a former
"Inside worker" for the communists.
Matthews testified communist lead'
ers expressed gratification they "had
several strategic men In important
plants and industries where they
would be In a position to sabotage
vital processes In event the United
States should become Involved In a
war against tho Soviet Union."
Drjven iled On llrldges
The com rn u n I s ts , he sa 1 d , were
confident they could control Harry
Bridges, west coast labor leader and
he "would ba able to paralyze ship
ping on the wpat coast."
He said Professor Donald Hender
son, formerly of Columbia univer
sity, allied himself In organising the
league "was especially boastful of a
secret revolutionary nucleus In a
submarine plant in Connecticut,"
which plant Matthews understood
was the electric boat company.
Matthews, a clear, 'forceful wit
ness, said that the league now
claimed about 4.000,000 members, a
great many of whom he knew were
Ignorant of Its real purposes.
