Two Opposing
Laws
By EARL WHITLOCK
That we should do unto oth
ers as we would have them do
unto us that we should respect
the rights of
others as scrup
ulously as we
would have our
own rights re
spected is not
mere counsel
of perfection to
individuals but
it is the law to
which we must
conform social
institutions and national policy
if we would secure the bless
ings ox abundance and peace
Two contrary laws stand to
day opposed: one a law of blood
and death, which compels all
nations to prepare for battle:
the other a law of peace, of
labor, of salvation, which strives
to deliver man from the
scourges which assail him. One
looks only for violent conquest
the other for the relief of suf
fering humanity. One would
sacrifice a million human lives
to the ambitions of a single
man; the other places a single
numan we above all victories.
The law of which we are the
Instruments tries, even in the
midst of carnage, to heal the
wounds caused by the law of
war.
Next Monday Mr. Whitlock
of the Earl Whitlock Funeral
Home will comment on This
Thing Called Credit.

dertaken in this spirit of con

ing: "I think the Japanese gov
ernment did a better job in this
conflict than the league of na

Asked specifically if Japan
would be willing to mediate else
where than in her sphere of in
fluence in east Asia the minister
said:
"I have been misquoted be
fore on that point. When I re

the fact that Japan always be-

"I was irritated some weeks

conflict only upon receiving an
exorbitant payment. That is not
true." .

workers and operators of the
Appalachian district would meet
again tomorrow.
The stoppages will involve ap
proximately 378.000 men and, if
completely effective, will cut off
85 per cent of the nation's soft
coal output vital to defense and
industry.
Contract to Expire
The stoppages will become ef
fective automatically at mid
night, when the 1939-41 wage-
hour contract expires, in accord
ance with a UMW rule not to
work without a contract. How
ever, actual withdrawal of men
from the mines will not be mani
fest until Wednesday because
Tuesday is "John L. Lewis day,"
a miners' holiday observing the
anniversary of the seven-hour
day.
After adjournment of the con
ference tonight, Ezra Van Horn,
president of the joint Appalach
ian wage conference and a
spokesman for the 21 operators'
organiations involved, said:
"We continued our negotia
tions through the entire day and
have adjourned to convene
again at 10 a. m. tomorrow. We
covered several parts of the con
tract as previously discussed but
agreed upon none of the points."
Lewis was asked if the ad-
journment would mean a tech-
nical stoppage" of work.
"Not technically, but actual-
y be replied
jonn R. steelman, director of

asserted "only a miracle" could
prevent a work stoppage. To
night he said "whatever optim
ism I have used at this confer
ence is based on the fact both
sides have agreed upon to con
tinue negotiations."
Lewis announced In event of a
shutdown, the union would keep
maintenance men in the mines at
tested and permit continued op
erations in certain cases to in
sure deliveries to hospitals "and
other minor industries and cer
tain utilities that depend on spe

her first stuck by British tor
peodo planes and tried to run for
home, harried all the while by
British planes.
The heavy guns of the British

salvoes into the Italian cruisers.
One-Sided
British naval authorities be
lieve the unprecedentedly one
sided naval battle in which the
British ships suffered no casual
ties or damage probably never
would have occurred except for
Italy's long-established policy of
not building aircraft carriers,
relying instead on shore-based
planes.
With proper reconnaissance
the Italian fleet could have
avoided the trap which brought
her losses entering the war to
two-thirds of her battleships.
more than so per cent of her
heavy cruisers, 25 per cent of
her light cruisers, 25 per cent of
her destroyers and about 35 per
cent of her submarines.
The main battle, between the
British heavy units and the Ital
ian heavy cruisers, was fought
well after dark, lighted by naval
searchlights, the flare of burn
ing Italian ships and the flashes
of 15-inch gun broadsides.
British officers suggested to
night Italian ships firing on each
other in the darkness and con
fusion may have contributed to
their own destruction as firing
was heard long after British
ships had left the area in ques
tion.
Today the British commander-
in-chief. Admiral Sir Andrew
Browne-Cunningham, radioed his
officers and men congratulations
and praise, ending with the
commendation, "well done!"
The action which won this
praise was described in detail
to this correspondent today by
the chief gunnery officer aboard
Admiral Cunningh's flagship, the
30,800-ton battleship Warspite.
This is his story:
"Shortly after 9 pm. (Fri
day) the battle fleet was ordered
to close position as an unknown
vessel was reported by the vice-
admiral of the light forces. At
,. .iu,j . !
10:28 p. m. we sighted a number,
of
darkened ship, on the ,Ur -
board bow,
"There appeared to be three
cruisers and two or four destroy
ers. Almost simultaneously we
were challenged by another ves
sel on the port beam
"The fleet turned to starboard
to bring us on opposite courses
and our armament was brought
to instant readiness. A few sec
onds later the destroyer in the
van, the Greyhound, switched its
searchlights on the third ship in
the enemy line and recognized
her as one of the (Italian) eight
inch cruisers. Subsequently
there was no doubt she was the
Fiume.
Close Range
"The Warspite's 15-inch arma
ment opened up at very close
range. The first broadside struck
home with devastating effect and
the enemy vessel became a mass
of flame from bridge to stern.
"After one more broadside,
which increased the tires on the
enemy ship, which now was a
helpless cripple, we switched the
fire to the next ship in line,
which was the Zara. She burst
into flames.
"By now the entire battle fleet
was in action. Our searchlights
illuminated two destroyers
astern of the enemy cruisers.
They were Ideally placed for tor
pedo attack upon us and at once
turned and fired their tubes.
'The fleet altered course and
engaged with Its main and sec
ondary armaments the destroy
ers, which retired behind a heavy
smoke screen.
"At the same time the commander-in-chief
ordered our de
stroyers to finish off the burning
cruisers. The destroyers went
in with torpedoes and sank three
cruisers and two destroyers."

scribed the evacuation of Ger
mans rushing to get out of Jugo
slavia. "Patience" to End
Nasi spokesmen warned Ger
man "patience" would come to
an end.
German sources said both
Hungary and Bulgaria had been
"compelled" to take "certain
steps." Bulgaria was said by of
ficial nasi sources to have or
dered general mobilisation, but
this was denied by Bulgarian
spokesmen here.
It was reported statement
of Jugoslav policy had been re
ceived here but It was not the
comprehensive or authoritative
pronouncement desired.
Nasi blamed "Chauvinistic
Serbs" for events In Jugoslavia
and contrasted the belligerent at
titude of the Serbs to the quiet
stand of the Croats.
A dispatch of the official DNB
agency from Budapest said to
night a German village in the
Baranja district of Jugoslavia,
near the Hungarian border, was
completely burned by rioting
Serbs.
BELGRADE, Tuesday, April 1
(VP) Germany's minister to
troubled Jugoslavia was on his
way to Berlin today and reliable
reports circulated that the gov
ernment had closed the frontier
with Rumania.
Warlike signs and portents
multiplied rapidly, and the new
military regime said the army,
navy and air force were "ready
to fulfill their duties."
r Amid a welter of rumors re
garding German's intentions to
ward Jugoslavia public concern
mounted to a pitch of utmost
gravity. Authorities sought to
calm the people and at the same
time steel them for any eventua
lities, urging that they stand by
their homes and posts of duty re
gardless of what happens.
No Surprise
The departure of the German
minister, Viktor von Heeren,
came as no surprise. It had been
prospective for days, and he
boarded a train for Berlin last
night to report to nazl authori
ties.
Rumors also had circulated
previously of the closing of Jugo
slav frontiers. Late last night
reliable sources said that the
border with Rumania, a scant 50
miles from Belgrade, had been
sealed. Any German thrust
from Rumania presumably would
come up the Danube valley
straight west of the capital.
Germans were getting out of
Jugoslavia as fast as possible,
and many residents of Belgrade
were leaving for the interior
where they expected to be safer
in case of an invasion.
Premier Richard Dusan-Simo-vitch,
who came to power Thurs
day in a coup engineered as a
protest against the pact with the
axis, appealed for calm and or-
. r,H ... ,.
- ' 'n g oo5
relations with neighboring states. 1
Reports that Germany would
hand Jugoslavia an ultimatum
demanding demobilization were
described as "ridiculous "
An official government com
munique was issued expressing
regret over recent incidents, in
volving German citizens and urg
ing the populace to preserve
peace.
Gen. Simovitch issued an or
der forbidding "any evacuation
from any place" or the leaving
of homes because "there is no
reason for this and it might
create only bad consequences."
