Congress does not appear as wor ried about strikes as it did a month ago', for it realises that President Roosevelt now has the power, if he wants to use it, to bring a fast halt to all strikes by executive order and without new legislation. Further more, the American Federation of Labor has called for a halt in strikes and has appealed to all members to exercise self-discipline. A’ uncle, newer did reach flat rock, but | 4.

Passage of the ship-seiziire bill, insuring toe U. S. permanent acqui sition of Axis ships taken into cus tody, is considered as a test of Nazi threats to start hostilities. A new surge of effort to increase the speed of production of defense equipment has been clearly evident since toe president’s declaration of an unlimited emergmey, partly be cause of the president’s appeal and partly because we have now ratned upon our second year of defense ^- duction with new and much larger goals to attain. Outlining the job ahead, John D. Biggers, prodtiction director of the office of production management, said toe new goals for the rest of the year include doubling of present air plane production, quadrupling tank production, trebling powder produc tion and increasing five-fold toe pro duction rate of machine guns. To do this, it is evident to all OPM officials that strikes must not be al lowed to halt production. They have been encourag^ by toe recent For tune poll showing that toe majority of the labor artrty of toe U. S.

He was the leader of a powerful people until forced to go into exile more than 22 years ago to save his life. And when his end came—what do we see? An ex-ruler forgotten and despised. Even in his own Germany which he once ruled, the bench, he lacks in judicial ex perience and possesses no great rep- Ithjtation as a lawyer which peculiarly - '^uips him for the post.
