PORTER New Crisis Looms as Germany And Poland Mobilize Troops; Chamberlain Summons Aides (EDITOR’S NOTE—When opinions are expressed in these colnmns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) bv Western Newspaper Unlnn . World attention was focused early this week on the little town of Zilina (shown above), strategic railway center of Slovakia where 50,000 German troops were reported to be concentrated after the Reicb bad taken military possession of the Slovak republic which was already under German “protection.” From Zilina more than a quarter of a million were deploying along a 100-mile front facing the Polish border. EUROPE: Week of Crisis Peace or war? Renewed activity, both military and diplomatic, indicated that this question may be answered one way or the other before this week of crisis ends. Concentration of more than a quarter of million German troops, fully equipped for war, along Slo vakia’s border with Poland followed closely upon a conference between Hitler and Count Stephen Csaky, Hungarian foreign minister, after which it was announced that Hun gary and the Reich had become firmly allied. Both of these moves were regarded as a part of the Ger man plan to “encircle” Poland and as a buildup for Hitler’s making a “final offer” to Poland on his de mands for Danzig and a link with East Prussia through Pomorze (the Polish Corridor). To meet this armed threat, Poland began sending troop reinforcements toward her frontiers facing Germany and Slovakia as a “precautionary measure against any eventuality." However, there were indications that Poland, feeling this military pressure, might advance some plan for settlement of the Danzig ques tion by negotiation. There were equally strong indica tions that she would resist armed force with armed force and count upon Great Britain to back her up. Whether or not her confidence in that backing is well-placed will be come apparent if Prime Minister Chamberlain, who interrupted a va cation in Scotland to return to Lon don, issues a statement after his conference with Foreign Secretary Lord Halifax, War Minister Leslie Hore-Belisha, Sir John Simon, chan cellor of the exchequer, Sir Samuel Hoare, home secretary, and Mal colm MacDonald, colonial secre tary. Significant was an editorial in the London Times, which often reflects the views of the British gov ernment. It said that Great Britain had given Poland “a specific pledge from which it will not and can not recede. It had given no such pledge to Czecho-Slovakia.” Meanwhile, if negotiation, rather than armed force, is used to solve the Danzig question, the impetus for it may come from Rome. After his con ference with Hitler, Count Csaky flew to the Italian capital for conversations with Mussolini and his foreign minister. Count Ciano, after which he returned to Budapest. No official announcement of the re sult of this conference was forthcom ing but it is considered likely that the axis powers hope to make Csaky a go-between fer negotiations between Berlin and V'amaw. Since Hun gary has be»n on friendly terms with Pc'and with the axis pow ers, e*po'’-i*')v Italy, the Hungarian foreign minister would fit well into this role. What effect the recently pro claimed trade agreement between Germany and Russia will have upon the resumption of negotiations for a three-power mutual asistance agreement between Great Britain, France and the Soviet is still un determined. This agreement, which will probably give Germany access to much-needed raw materials, may so strengthen her hand in Europe’s power politics that it may have a very decisive effect upon negotia tions over Danzig, if that problem is to be settled by negotiation. The latest move toward maintain ing peace by negotiation was made by Belgium. King Leopold’s gov- COUNT CSAKY A go-between? ernment has invited the ministers of six small powers to rush to Brus sels by airplane and join with Bel gium in a peace plea to the larger nations. Those who were invited and who are said to have accepted the invitation were the Netherlands, Luxemburg, Sweden, Norway, Deiv mark and Finland. LABOR: ‘Gag’ on Ford? The Ford Motor company has no tified the National Labor Relations board that it would not comply with an order which the board had is sued against it reaffirming its earli er ruling that the company was guilty of violating the Wagner act by refusing to reinstate 24 men, said to have been discharged for union activity. The new labor board decision re tained the disputed section of the earlier ruling which required the firm to “cease and desist from . . . interfering with ... its employees in the exercise of rights guaranteed in Section 7 of the act by circulat ing, distributing, or otherwise dis seminating among its employees statement of propaganda which dis- HENRY FORD Denied “free speech’’? parages or criticizes labor organiza tion ...” The board referred mainly to the famous “Fordisms” as written by Henry Ford. The quotations con tained ant ; -union sentiments. In replying to the labor board, P. E. Martin, Ford vice president, de-* nied that the company had dis charged members of the United Au tomobile Workers of America or oth erwise intimidated them and charged that the right of free speech was being denied Ford. AGRICULTURE: Milk Parley As the result of renewed violence in upstate New York, marked by more milk-dumping and some skull cracking when police and state troopers clashed with milk plant pickets, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia of New York city this week called farmer and distributor representa tives into a conference to seek a peaceful solution of their dispute. The mayor’s action came after the dairymen’s Strike had cut the usual supply available to the metropolitan area from 4,400,000 quarts to 2,300,- 000 quarts, although Doth sides had given assurance that hospitals, pub lic institutions and other needy cus tomers would receive an adequate supply. The Farmers’ Dairy union, which claims a membership of 15,000 dairy farmers and which is supported by the C. I. O., called the strike in an effort to force distributors to pay them $2.35 a hundredweight (or 47 quarts) for all classes of milk. The present price for such “blended” milk, which is used for manufactur ing as well as drinking purposes— is $1.60 a hundredweight. Hearings in Syracuse and New York city to discuss the price struc ture have been ordered for this week by the United States depart ment of agriculture. POLITICS: ‘Stop Spending T Calling upon the Roosevelt admin istration to take the lead in a co operative effort by business, labor, farmers and others to stimulate pro duction, the American Federation of Labor in its monthly survey of busi ness declared that an expansion of industry is necessary to forestall “a further demand for government spending, with its danger of infla tion and consequent losses to wage earners.” It said experts contended that pro duction increases could be planned for the country as a whole, but that businessmen were not likely to lead n the expansion because business isks were greater and profits small- r than in predepression years. Defeat of the administration’s ending bill was cited as evidence :hat congress had rejected the ‘pump-priming” theory of stimulat ing recovery and by so doing had placed the responsibility on busi ness. This suggestion of a farmer-labor- business-government get-together, following close upon the heels of a similar suggestion by Philip Mur ray, C. I. O. vice president, is re garded as evidence that the A. F. of L. is not only trying to bring a labor peace but will probably side with business in the 1940 campaign against a Roosevelt-backed candi date, unless he discards his philoso phy of spending as a method of r» covery. DOMESTIC: Bund ‘Immorality* Back from Washington, where she had told the Dies committee that she had quit as a German-Ameri- can Bund Youth leader because of “immorality" in their camps, went 19-year-old Helen Vooros to her home in Brooklyn. As she sat in a restaurant an eight-year-old boy handed her an iodine bottle label, on the back of which was penciled, in shorthand, “Goodbye, life.” The boy who delivered this death threat HELEN VOOROS “Goodbye, lifer is said to have identified a photo graph of a prominent Bund member as the one who handed the label to him with instructions to give it to “the girl in the black dress.” Most important witness thus far has been Bundmaster Fritz Kuhn. After hearing his life story. Repre sentative Starnes of the committee asked Kuhn if his organization wasn’t intended to establish a Nazi government in the United States. “That’s an absolute lie—a flat lie!” shouted Kuhn. Flaming with anger, Joe Starnes jumped to his feet. Shoving report ers and photographers aside he strode toward the witness crying: “Don’t call me a liar!” When capitol policemen had put an end to these fighting words, the committee got down to more serious work. With calm deliberation, Illi nois Rep. Noah Mason drew enough information from the witness to make German-American bundism distasteful. When faced with the ac cusation that his bund is “a money making racket based on the credu lity of the American people,” Kuhn countered by listing these strange objectives: (1) To unite the Ger man-American element, (2) to fight communism, (3) to give the German element “political background.” ARMY: ' ‘Iron Horses' to Front! While a group of foreign observ ers, including military attaches from Germany, France, Great Britain and half a dozen other European countries looked on, the crack mech anized Seventh Cava'.iy from Fort Knox, Ky., swung into action for the first time in two “battles” in which 52,000 regular soldiers and National Guardsmen were engaged this week in the war games near Plattsburg, N. Y. A day of rain that soaked fields and highways gave Uncle Sam’s “iron horses” a real test of their usefulness in modern war. Before the second phase of the games began, Lieut. Gen. Hugh A. Drum, commander-in-chief, assem bled 3,000 officers on the parade ground to present a few facts. Pub licly scorned was the suggestion that his troops fight at “paper strength,” i. «., with imaginary armament the army hopes some day to secure. The general demanded a campaign of reality, “to bring home the actu alities of our state of preparedness.” Only in tanks, he said, is the army up to strength. Other deficiencies: manpower, 77 per cent; machine guns, 67 per cent; trucks, 83; auto matic rifles, 57. Said he: “I do not intend to be little the advantages of speed. But mobility off the battlefield cannot compensate for inefficiency in the conduct of a fight. What we need to learn is how to fight.” Cookies in the Cupboard What cookies do folks like best to eat?
