Action Must Follow
Appeasement Of Vichy .
E were extremely well pleased to
} hear yesterday that our dynamic
State Department sent a "sharply worded" pro-
test to Vichy because the French had turned
over 80,000 tons of merchant shipping to the
Japanese for use against the Allied Powers. It
is gratifying to know that the note writers are
'till able to wax indignant, especially since the
,ship deal took place more than five weeks ago-
in the pre-Laval period.
This is great news! Now we can have some
friendly competition with the Japanese when
we come to collect the sugar from Reunion Is-
land in the Indian Ocean. And here's another
angle. The agreement with Japan took place
while French supplies were being sent to General
;Rommel, supplies which we sent to France to
prove that we were suckers. In best Biblical
fashion, Vichy did not let the State Department
know what it's left hand was doing.
But what our State Department did not see,
many other highly competent observers not
only saw, but told. The exact nature of Vichy's
actions may not have been known, but the
fact that American supplies were being used
by the Nazis in North Africa was common
knowledge. The fact that Admiral Leahy could
not control Vichy's actions was no secret. In
fact, every appeasing movement of the State
Department was obviously useless, except to
the State Department.
And now we shall start getting returns on the ,
efforts of the Department clique, and the laxity
of the Administration. It is perhaps easier to
say what might have been, but with the miser-
able showing we have now as a result of the
spineless policy, argument of that nature car-
ries no weight. It was well-known what would
happen before this policy was started.
Now we must start over again to salvage what
2lttle remains from cumulative results of an
amazingly stupid idea. We shall not salvage
much.
But we can seize and occupy Madagascar be-
fore Vichy turns it over to Japan. We can take
pver the French possessions in the Atlantic be-
fore they are all used for Nazi subjnarine bases.
We can cooperate wholeheartedly with the Free
French, send them the supplies they need rather
than the Axis Libyan armies. We shall not
salvage much, but it will take more than pro-
tests to secure any results whatsoever. And
that action must come immediately, and move
swiftly in motion. Most of us are thoroughly
convinced that Vichy is not waiting for us to
stick out our tongues before it gives its posses-
sions away to the Axis.

Press Must Rid Its
Ranks Of Defeatists . .
T HIS WAR is a challenge to free insti-
tutions everywhere. The Fascist
hordes are attacking :rom without and are
threatening the whole structure of world democ-
racy. There is also an attack, or rather a test,
from within. It is the test of whether free in-
stitutions are able to survive and to accomplish
their purpose in a nation whose total effort is
geared to war.

Industrial Council Plan
Offers National Unity
W ITH America in the throes of war-
production and while stump speak-
ers in every corner of the country clamor for
national unity, it seems almost inconsistent that
Americans must constantly read of incessant
strife between employers and employes. We tell
each other to put a shoulder to the wheel, but
after four months of war production the United
States has not eliminated the cankers in its
industrial machine. There is still bitter discord
between the manufacturers and laborers over
matters such as overtime pay, jurisdictional
strikes, elimination of competing employes, and
war-time profiteering.
The tragic note in this situation is that while
there is little uniformity in the United States
productive pattern, one of our own cities, Toledo,
and our ally, Britain, have both struck upon a
method for placating these two seemingly in-
compatible forces. And nevertheless, despite
the successes chalked up by Britain and Toledo,
the government, industry, and laborers have
failed to take cognizance of the plan's value.
Since .1937 the city of Toledo has had an
industrial peace board for the purpose of ad-
justing controversies arising within the city's
industrial units. During this span of five
years the board has made a record which
should be envied by most national mediation
agencies. Set uip by the city government and
composed of five Toledo labor leaders, five
Toledo manufacturers, and eight representa-
tives of the general public, the council man-
aged to pass the year of 1941, in which the
city accumulated more than 63 million dollars
worth of defense contracts, with only one
strike. In its first year of operation, 1937, this
city had 95 disputes, but by 1940 this number
had been cut down to the exceptional low of
30 controversies. Moreover, only five of these
became actual strikes.
But Toledo cannot claim the distinction of
having the only agency of this kind in the world,
for in England under the capable leadership of
Labor Minister Ernest Bevin, countless numbers
of local District Area Boards have been estab-
lished throughout industry. These consultation
directorates, established for the same goal of
industrial peace as Toledo's intermediary, are
patterned exactly after a master agency, the
Joint Consultative Committee, which consists of
15 employer representatives and 15 labor repre-
sentatives with Bevin as chairman of the group.
The small local units also function under the
Industrial Capacity Committee and have to do
with the fullest and most efficient use of the
country's productive power. The special signifi-
cance of this system arises from the fact that
the trade union board members are not there
simply in an advisory capacity, because these
councils have complete authority within the
purview of their own sphere.
Thus, in the industry of Britain, joint tri-
bunals of labor and management settle the
production difficulties. J. H. Harley, a British
political writer, has summarized the success of
he plan by saying, "Every one of the old prob-
ems which formerly harassed industrial life is
now being successfully attacked and appears on
the highroad towards solution."
Today, when a greater number of people than
ever are making so-called "sad commentaries"
on American life, another must be added to the
list. When the National Defense Mediation
Board broke down last November, the sixth gov-
ernment attempt to provide industry with a suc-
cessful mediation agency had foundered. This
failure resulted from the same causes that made
the NLRB, the Maritime Labor Board, the Na-
tional Railroad Adjustment Board and the Na-
tional Mediation Board also ineffectual-lack
of wide enough scope and authority in addition
to being devised and imposed from the top. It
left a desperate need for some new agency that
will provide cooperation between workers and
managers; but more than that it left a major
flaw in our industrial pattern.
It should be a matter for deep regret on the
part of the American people that the govern-
ment does not see fit to imitate such success-
ful examples or to accept the ideas of such
men as the CIO labor prophet, Philip Murray,
who has claimed that "the adoption of the

industrial council plan would create the na-
tional unity for which all Americans are
striving." We could accomplish this unifica-
tion of America's productive power no better
than by establishing a prototype of the Toledo
or British system'

papers like the New York Daily News, the Chi-
cago Tribune and the Washington Times-Herald.
These papers, forced by circumstances to aban-
don their isolationist stand, have now resorted
to anti-Roosevelt and defeatist policies.
They, and others like them, are trying to stir
up race conflicts in this country and to create
disunity among the nations fighting Hitler.
Ranging their propaganda from claims that the
United States should fear Soviet Russia to de-
mands that American troops should be with-
drawn from world battlefronts to wage a purely
defensive war, they are serving the purpose of
the Axis well.
Not even Adolf Hitler can hope for a military
victory over the United States. lie must respect
the great productive power and potential un-
beatable strength of this country. But he can
hope for a victory on the psychological front. In
Mein Kampf he minimizes the importance of
the United States in world affairs because it is
torn by disunity and internal dissension. That
Der Fuehrer looks with satisfaction on those
who foster and seek to increase any such dis-
unity is a foregone conclusion. Should the Ger-
man leader succeed in pushing the United States
into a defensive war or making its war effort
ineffective by internal strife, an Axis victory
would be a certainty.

WASHINGTON- This is a momentous week
for the War Labor Board.
It's been kept under cover, but this key war
agency is in the throes of a serious internal clash
which is due for a showdown any day now. The
result may be an explosion that will blQw the lid
off.
The issue is over the charge that certain
employer members of the Board are deliberately
stalling disposal of major labor cases affecting
war production.
Precipitator of the showdown is Dean Wayne
Morse of Oregon University law school, two-
fisted, plain-talking public representative on the
Board. Principal target of Morse's fire is Walter
C. Teagle, tall, bulky chairman of the board of
Standard Oil of New Jersey and an employer
member of WYB.
The long-smoldering controversy came to a
head some days ago in connection with the In-
ternational Harvester case. This case had been
pending for nearly a year. Finally Morse de-
manded that the WLB render a decision, threat-
ening to resign and issue a statement bluntly
telling why he quit unless the Board acted.
Under this challenge the Board got down to
business. After most of a day of dickering,
Teagle finally proposed that the matter be held
over the following week-end on the possibility
that a split decision could be averted. This was
agreed to.
During that week-end most of the employer
members of the WLB had a secret pow-wow at
which they debated what stand to take on
"union security," the basic issue involved in the
.arvester and a number of other pending major
cases. Participants in this conference later told
other WLB members that an agreement on the
compromise "union membership maintenance"
formula could have been reached but for Teagle.
It was stated that the oilman vigorously ob-
jected to accepting this proposal and blocked an
accord.
When the WLB resumed deliberations on the
Harvester case, Teagle again proposed a delay.
He urged that the controversy be returned to
the complaining union and the company for an-
other attempt at negotiation.
The Showdown
Morse blew up at the Teagle plan and waded
in with both fists flying.
He bluntly accused the oilman and his em-
ployer associates of dilatory tactics that were
hampering the war effort. Morse concluded by
charging them with acting not as impartial
arbiters but as management agents.
The scorching blast drew inignant protests
from Teagle and George Mead, president of the
Mead Paper Co. They contnded that their
function was to represent management. Morse's
reply to this argument was to quote a statement
made by another management member, Roger
Lapham, president of the American-Hawaiian
Steamship Co., that the WLB was the "Supreme
Court of war labor problems."
"It was my understanding that we all agreed
with that," said Morse. "Now you tell me that
you aren't judicially-minded arbiters, but special
pleaders. If that's the way this Board is to
operate then you can count me out."
Morse had his way. The Board issued a "union
membership maintenance" decision by a split
vote of 8 to 4

Seriors: The firm which furnishes
diplomas for the University has sent
the following caution: Please warn
graduates not to store diplomas in
cedar chests. There is enough of the
moth-killing aromatic oil in the av-
erage cedar chest to soften inks of
any kind that might be stored inside
them, resulting in seriously damag-
ing the diplomas.

car and save both tires and expense.
A record of such plans will be kept
in the President's Office, and those
who find it necessary to make a trip
may inquire there as to the possi-
bility of riding with others. Waste
is sabotage.

drawings by Milton Horn of Olivet College.
Horn is one of the three members of the of
town jury for the coming exhibition of th
Arbor Art Association.)
The drawings shown represent a highs
ard of taste and craftsmanship. This ar
thoroughly adult in his outlook, and the
ings prove it. True enough, they betray
ences or, perhaps better, evidence of abso
historical interest. The famous and ha
wiry line of Pablo Picasso is apparent,
something of the decorative grace of I
Matisse. And with these two influences
is a peculiar quality in the characteristics
ness of the heads that would seem to hark
to the mannerists of sixteenth century
The influences are well assimilated, and
has no sense that the artist is merely et
or archaeological in his interest.
There is about Milton Horn's work ant
lushness that is almost romantic, and it
pleasure to see drawings which seem gent
felt and beyond the merely fashionable.

of the artists's work had been available to.
