C HAMBERLAIN TERMED it an "hon- orable peace". Still not disillusioned by the way he was treated in Germany, disre- garding Hitler's perfect record of repudiated promises, he told the empire that war had been averted. The wisdom of the Conservative Party's foreign policy had been verified by later events, he declared. What are these later events? 1. "By constant German pressure (the Munich accord) has now been converted to almost exact- ly the terms of Hitler's Godesberg ultimatum," the Associated Press reports from Berlin. Germany informed the international Sudeten commission that "They could grant Germany the new territories or Nazi armies would take them-even at the risk of war." So, without a plebescite, the Reich has been granted a. fifth zone of territory far larger than any of the others and reaching within 30 miles of Prague. 2. Berlin announced she would not consider the Sudeten question settled until the Czech gov- ernment made reparations for treatment of Sudeten-Germans since 1918. 3. Patriotic President Benes was forced to re- sin so that a new government, with a philo- fascist as foreign minister, could make peace with Germany-peace which will, undoubtedly put her within the German sphere of influence. 4. A plan to partition Spain between the Franco forces and the Republican Goverament had been broache'd only to meet with indignant refusal from Barcelona and the Spanish people. 5. Poland seized the rich Teschen district, leav- ing her with 30 times the coal resources of Czechoslovakia. Not satisfied with this, she an- nounced that unless Prague ceded the Carpath- ian-Ruthenian district to Hungary, relations with Warsaw would be "unfriendly." 6. Russia broke her alliance with France, leaving that nation stripped of central European allies, surrounded by fascistic powers on three sides and, according to reports from Europe, now considered by Berlin as a second rate power. 7. In Palestine, German and Italian agents fomented another serious rebellion against Brit- ish rule, London announced she would be forced to take "urgent military and diplomatic action" to ease the situation. 8. A Conservative member of Parliament, liar- old McMillan, bolted the party, declaring that Cpmmons was being treated "more and more as a kind of Reichstag just meeting to hear orations and register decrees." 9. Edgar Ansel Mowrer, former Michigan stu- dent who is now one of the most authoritative of foreign correspondents, radioed his paper: "The first concentration camp has been estab- lished by the Germans on former Czech territory. German Social-Democrats and their families are fleeing for their lives before Nazi bands. Jews are being brutalized and tortured and all the other attributes of Nazidom are being realized in the name of what certain British Conservatives .Calledintice di('t'FrIhn p.11 tn.all Pn~ lf of1,~i Light On Labor IxdistriaI Peace .. . O N THURSDAY, after a talk with the President, Heywood 'Broun and Morris Watson, representing the American Newspaper Guild, reported that the President was consid- ering setting up a special non-partisan commis- sion to study the industrial battle front with a view toward pacifying domestic labor relations. A variety of problems should be encompassed by this proposed investigation; it should include a discussion of the differences that maintain strife between labor factions as well as between labor and industry in general and certain unions and manufacturing concerns in particular. However, while these plans are mulled over and before we speculate about "a common basis" fy the achievement of industrial "peace for our time" it may be wise to consider the recent re- port of the President's Committee of Nine, headed by Gerard Swope of General Electric, on labor conditions in Sweden and a previous report of the same cqmmittee concerning the settled na- ture of labor relations in Great Britain. The re- sults of the investigations indicated, and upon this the commit~tee unanimously agreed, that labor disturbances in Sweden and Great Britain have been reduced to a minium because both employers and employees there unquestioningly accept collective bargaining. The President, hiiself, in an accompanying note to the Committee's report, calls attention to the fact that in spite of the entirely different nature of the two countries surveyed, the "simi- larity of approach" and the voluntary acceptance of collective bargaining existing there are prac- tically identical, and that these things are pri- marily responsible for their settled labor condi- tions. The Swope Committee pointed out further that the success of labor relations in Sweden is also due to the fact that collective bargaining is not conducted in terms of single plants and individual corporations, but in nation-wide industries be- tween employers' organizations, formerly used to combat unionism, but which soon realized that it was to their own advantage to accept unionism, and strongly organized unions. The Swope Committee report also states that the closed shop is unknown in Sweden, it being unnecessary when ninety per cent of the workers are union members. Strikebreaking and the call- ing out of the militia also have not existed since 1931 when public indignation against the use of these weapons and the resulting violence in the widespread lumber strike forced the discontinu- ance of these means. The Committee also listed social legislation such as old-age pensions and unemployment and health insurance as great aids in the reduction of inudstrial discontent. conditions in Britain and Sweden and industrial Froe the contrast between the settled labor strife in this country, it seems the point can be drawn and not stressed too much that peaceful labor relations depend upon the wholehearted ac- cept'ance by employers of unonism and collective bargaining, not on the modification of the prin- ciples underlying the present laws or establish- ment of new ones. -Laurie Mascott it t TODAY American Society of Ancient Instruments, Ben Stad director. 10:30-11:00 a. in., WWJ, WMAQ, WTAM.

But before peace can be, reached it will be necessary for us all to know just what the shooting is about. And by "all" I mean many who are members neither of the American Fed- eration of Labor nor the C.I.O. It is my impression that the average American is in- clined to believe that the quarrel between trades un- ionists is wholly a personal issue between the leaders of two groups. This has no basis in fact. I can hardly be accused of being a violent par- tisan of William Green's, and I disagree violently with many things which he has said and done. And yet I am quite ready to admit that he repre- sents, adequately; the economic and politicalj philosophy of those who believe in the craft setup. There is no great point in quarreling back,and forth in headlines without getting a fuller picture than can be obtained in such brief compass. Recently we had excellent factual reports of labor conditions in Great Britain and in Sweden. Indeed, the average newspaper reader in this country may very well know more about trade union problems in those nations that he does about the questions which disturb us here. - ~* * Fundamentals Different There Out of these reports good may come. It is also possible that the net result could be harmful. It will be quite useless to make any attempt by legis- lation, or otherwise, to solve American problems wholly by the light of practices which obtain where the fundamental conditions are very dif- ferent. For instance, Sweden has no share-croppers. The picture must be rounded out. And so I think the time has come for President Roosevelt to ap- point a fact-finding committee to report to America on labor conditions here. I think that this committee should make its report without embodying any recommendations. It may be said that this will be no more than shadow boxing and that such information is al- ready available to those who will take the trouble to go to the nearest public library. As a matter of fact, I think that the literature on current labor problems is skimp. But if there were numer- ous books which told the whole story it would not be enough. The average American still lives and dies by his own daily paper. Naturally, newspapers deal more with end results than with causation. A strike may make the front page. And so will a lockout. But the factors which brought about this situation go largely unreported. * *e * An Indirect Approach I speak for an indirect approach to labor unity, because there is no indication yet that the Presi- dent's message to the A. F. of L. has taken much root in that organization, or in the C. I. O., either. It seems to me that a good fact-finding com- mission would not need to make specific recom- mendations. The facts would tell the story. And I do not see how any labor leader could possibly stand out and say, "I want to continue without the benefit of an informed public opinion." Already I am on record as believing that the proper growth of trades unionism ought to be along vertical and industrial lines. Certain excep- tions may be noted. But that is the trend which will deliver the underprivileged from their pre- dicament. I am wholly willing to stand by the facts which may be brought out by any competent and im- partial group of research men. If I am wrong I will recant. But not without proof. We need an educational campaign. We most certainly need further demonstration of the fact, which President Roosevelt has touched upon, that there is a mutuality of interest between the farmers and the industrial workers in large cities. We must have peace. Let us have peace. But it must be a peace based upon information and not on prejudice and self-interest. I think that Mr. Roosevelt will receive universal support if he undertakes to bring out the truth. Let's have that, and then we can go ahead. The Editor Gets Told .

FITZHENRY and MORTON L. LINDER European Turmoil No. 1 topic on the tongue of the world continues to be the Czech crisis despite the hatchet a quadrumvirate of international big-wigs is alleged to have buried-some say in Czechoslo- vakia's back. Europe doffed its gas mask last week following the Accord of Sept. 30 and reflected on the agree- tion and acerbity of Alfred Duff Coop.- ment concluded at Munich with the following results: (1) Britain's 69- year-old premier returned to a cha- otic Commons; but triumphed hand- somely in the vote of confidence on his foreign policy despite the resigna- tion and acerbity of Alfred Duff Coop- er, First Lord of the Admiralty; (2) Russia picked up its marbles and re- tired to Moscow disgusted with Paris' capitulation. The Paris-Moscow axis,. Russian spokesmen announced, is a thing of the past. (3) France, suf- fering from the virtual collapse of her popular front (73 Communist deputies voted against the Daladier govern- ment in its demands for plenary pow- ers and 150 Socialists abstained from voting after threatening to join the Communist insurgency) desperately thrust the olive branch in the face of iussolini and Italy in a- 12th hour attempt to form a new line against Berlin's extraordinary ground gaining plays.

As 9 loomsC~YC largeon he politicail horizon, advancing conjectures and guesses as to possible White House occupants, New York State's Fall elec- tions command the national spotlight. With both parties in the Empire State preparing to launch their campaigns, observers agree the outcome will have a great bearing on the 1940 situation. New York has long been a key figure in national affairs, and it is felt that regardless whether or not an actual presidential candidate emerges, the results will be important as an oracle of political prestige at the polls two years hence. Incumbent Gov. Herbert Lehman, who has repeatedly said he would not consider a fourth term, succumbed to the unanimous wishes of the Demo- cratic convention and Mrs. Lehman at Rochester and agreed to head the slate. At Saratoga Springs, the Re- publican convention chose racket- buster Tom Dewey to lead the party's ticket. As both campaigns get under way, the Democrats claim Dewey has for- saken the trust of the people of New York City by leaving his crime-pur- ging drive unfinished; they maintain that he is politically immature for the job. The Republicans base their op- position on the argument that Leh- man has been in office long enough. Politics And Labor To William Green and AFL's con- vention in Houston, President Roose- velt dispatched a conciliatory note calling for unity of labor and cessa- tion of the AFL-CIO strife. Observers saw in the Washington "Peace feel- er" an offer to act as coordinator in the three-year old schism. President Green "appreciated the interest" of Mr. Roosevelt, but thought nothing could be done without an about face from CIO's John L. Lewis. Heywood Broun, Daily columnist and president of the American Newspaper Guild, in a talk with the President, suggests a fact-finding board be appointed to seek a peace between AFL and CIO..

Wriston, head of the school, said that Benes had been offered the position of visit- ing Professor of International Rela- tions.
