OIL SUITS SEEN
DEFENSE THREAT
Washington, Sept. 19. (J!)
The defense commission was re-;
ported today to have criticized
a proposed anti-trust suit against
the big o!i companies on the
ground that it threatened delay
to the preparedness program by
disrupting tentative plans and
discouraging cooperation by in
dustry. The commission has communi
cated its opinions to Attorney
General Jackson after a study
of the contemplated civil action
against 22 major oil companies
and about 300 subsidiaries. Jack
son requested the defense
group's views last July 26 be

suit-
Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept.
19. (,pi Edmund M. Totand.
formerly general counsel for
the congressional committee in
vestigating the national labor
relations board, suggested to
day that any "fifth column"
search "might very well start
in the NLRB".
In an address prepared for
the metal mining convention of
the American Mining Congress,
Toland declared, "the hint of
radicalism permeates 'a great
part" of the board's personnel.
Findings of the so-called
Smith investigation committee,
he said, "would seem to warrant
the conclusion" that any "fifth
column" search should begin in
the NLRB.
Vital Defena Link
Toland said the board, "be
cause it has been given juris
diction over disputes between
capital and labor, Is one of the
most vital links In our defense
program."
He cited examples of what
he called evidence of "how
utterly un-American ideas" per
meate the board structure.
He reported that Edwin S.
Smith, a board member, served
as United States secretary for
the league against war and fascism.
Toland said Earl Browder,
United States communist chief.
described this group, later
known as the American league
for peace and democracy, as a
"transmission belt for commun
ism." Toland also contended there
was a "close and intimate con
nection" between Smith and
Harry Bridges, west coast CIO
leader.
Law Aides Favor heds
He declared that a "large
number" of the board's legal
staff were members of the Na
tional Lawyers Guild, described
as "not prepared to take any
stand which conflicts with the
communist party line" by A. A.
Berle, assistant secretary of
state, in his letter of resigna
tion from the guild.
The NLRB employees union,
Toland said, contributed $400
to the American friends of
Spanish democracy, and contri
buted also to CIO union organiz
ing drives, but not to AFL un
ions. The board's "latest act of in
solence," Toland said, was its
refusal to abolish its division of
economic research, headed by
"Russian-born David J. Saposs,"
when it was "the Intent of con
gress to abolish the divis
ion ."
by force. The league of nations,
devised by Woodrow Wiison.
with the co-operation of states
men like William Howard Taft,
Elihu Root and Charles Evan
Hughes, provided for policing
the world with an army and
navy made up from all the signa.
toy nations, under authority of
the world court. If this had been
adopted war anywhere would
have been impossible.
But isolationists and pacifists
and jealous politicians in con
gress wrecked the league of na
tions.
Faced with the problems of
meeting the onslought of total
war, congressional slackers dal
lied and quibbled as though man
na, instead of bombs, were fall
ing from the skies. They espec
ially opposed compulsory mili
tary training, pretending to be
lieve an army could be made
up by voluntary enlistment,
while their white-feathered psy.
chology infected the youth of
the land who flocked to marriage
bureaus, thus hoping to escape
the draft. They seem blind to
the fact that in this war fewer
soldiers are killed than civilians.
When bombs begin to screech
and burst pacifists and draft
dodgers will want to break into
the army as the safest retreat.
But we shall find, as the British
have proven, that it is safer to
fight than to run, and this fact
should hearten the white-feathered
members of congress.
Strange as it seems, a large
contingency of obstructionist
"statesmen" are from states west
of the Rocky Mountains. If they
really represent the sentiment of
their constituents, what has be
come of the rugged courage that
prompted the quick-trigger
which subdued the savages, ban
dits and outlaws in pioneer days?
Maybe they are misrepresenta
tives; and this seems most likely,
for each primary and general
election is leaving some of them
at home.

To the Editor:
If Nero was condemned for
fiddling while Rome burned,
what penalty should be meted
out to a congress that fiddles
and haggles and delays action
for defense when- the world is
on fire? Censure, of course,
should not go to congress as a
whole, but to the obstructionists,
the isolationists and slackers who
refuse to fight the fire they
themselves helped to kindle.
For isolationists and pacifists,
no matter how good their inten
tions, are actually responsible
for this, the second world war

what everyone knows now, that
