FRIDAY. MA*\OH 28, 1941 PAPS FIVK ANTI-STRIKE LAW RESTS ON LABOR GROUP—BRYSON LINDBERGH URGES AMERICANS TO WRITE CONGRESSMEN Washington, March 21.—The sue cess or failure of President Roose' velt’s new national defense mediation board will set the course for Congres sional action on anti-strike legislation rep. Joseph R. Bryson asserted today. Bryson, a member of the House Ju diciary committee, which has been conducting hearings on proposed anti strike laws predicted that no action would be forthcoming from Congress if the new board is successful. He warned, however, that if the board “proves ineffective in promptly settling current or future labor dis putes, need for the enactment of suoh legislation will become immediate and imperative. The Fourth District congressman nevertheless expressed the “hope and belief” that the new mediation board wiM “obviate the need for enactment of additional legislation. “I have already made up my mind and I wish to emphasize that the Am erican people are not going to stand for either strikes 'on the part of la bor or profit haggling on the part of capital which cripple our defense in dustries,” Bryson asserted. “We ex pect both employer and employee to cooperate. Where one attempts to take advantage of the other at the ex pense of national defense the govern ment must step in and protect the na tion’s interest. “One thing that labor leaders and business executives alike should real ize is that if we fail in our defense effort there may no longer be any such things as the rights of capital and labor,” he continued. “The way to preserve labor’s right to strike and sue for collective bargaining is to pre serve the government which guaran tees that right. Today we are all called upon to make certain sacrifices to the end that this government of our might be free and independent. Strikes must not be permitted to • threaten our national security. “The ‘business-as-usual’ attitude of industry as well as flagrant instances of prifiteering on the part of manure- men t doubtless did much to create an atmosphere, for labor strikes. In South Carolina and in the Fourth District, Bryson said, “labor is doing its full share.” “The laboring men and women of my district are as much opposed to strikes at this time as the most con servative mill executive,” he said. They are “too eager for the safety and security of America to engage in strikes of any kind.” Bryson pointed out that a total of Uiyo\JlL pr/nri/cvt v>u.o unci c a, wucm e>-- 625,000 man-days of work were lost being led to war by a group of inter New York. March 21.—Col. Chas. A. Lindbergh today asked Amercians who oppose United States intervention in the European war to organize and attend mass meetings throughout the nation and to make knewn their po sition in repeated letters to their leg islators and local newspapers. Writing “in Collier’s Magazine, Lindfbergh concluded that “for us to enter the conflict in Europe at this time would result in defeat and hu miliation,” and asserted that by re maining out of the war the United States “can build a military and com mercial position on this continent that is impregnable to attack and which will force other nations to trade with us, if through expediency alone. Fears It May Be Too Late “The policy of our nation is still influenced by the desires of its peo ple,” he said. “You can help us by organizing mass meetings against our entry into the war. You can help by attending such mass meetings. You can help by writing to your con- gresmen, to your senator, and to your local newspapers, telling them of your views. . . . But if you stand with us against war, you must act now or it will be forever too late.” After revealing that in 1938 he told highly placed British officials of Germany’s air power and warned them of the need for developing Bri tish aviation, Lindbergh asserted that both France and England had waited “until it was too late.' “We in America have waited until it is too late,” he continued, “and yet we step closer and closer to the war as though hypnotized by its bombing and by its fury. Holds U. S. Unprepared “Like France and England in 1939, we are unprepared today. We have not as many thoroughly modern fighting planes in our army and navy combined as Germany produces in a single week; and our army is deplor ably lacking in such essential items as tanks and anti-tank cannon. “We have not made the sacrifice necessary for adequate rearmament. We, too, have cultivated the phil osophy that it is essential to defend someone else fh order to defend our selves. “Our politicians and idealists har- rangue us about defending freedom and democracy, and our way of life.” Asserting that political shouts of “we must stop Hitler” and “Down with the Nazi regime” were being echoed by some newspapers, Lind bergh declared, “We in America are because of strikes affecting 65,000 workers during January. “In the face of facts like these,’ he said, “it is apparent that some thing must be done.” t WPA APPLICATIONS accepted Miss Azilee Livingston, director of the Department of Public Welfare, has given the information that the department of Public Welfare has been authorized to accept applica tions for WPA workers.

There is certainly no danger of our fighting on Ger- manys’ side, and her propaganda in America has been relatively ineffec tive.” (Criticized for Report He said that it was Britian’s pur pose to minimize German success and to “exaggerate all British successes” and recalled that “those of us who saw the growth of the German air force were severely assailed be cause of the reports we made describ ing it, although these reports tow turn out to have been almost unfav- givably conservative.” He oouselled readers to go back over their newspaper files and to re read the reports of the campaigns in Finland, Norway, France, and the Low Countries, and to consider them in the light of subsequent reports and developments. Discussing the possibility of an attack upon the United States by a foreign power, Lindbergh asserted' that one by air was “out of the question.” Contending that any at tack upon this country would have to be from the sea, he concluded that “Of all the nations in the world, we hold the most impregnable position of defense.” Turning to the national defense program, Lindbergh said that “it is often asked today why our rearma ment program moves so slowly, why our people are so divided and confus ed. Why indeed! The answer is clear. “It is because we have neglected the wisdom and experience of our forefathers — we have not followed Washington’s advice. We have let the destiny of America become con fused and entangled with that of foreign lands. . . .” Miss Macie Davis, who teaches in the city schol system in Clinton, spent the weekend withher family on Hunt street. BIRTH CERTIFICATE CHANGE PROPOSED Bill Would Relax Provisions of the Present Law Columbia, March 17.—Persons bom prior to 1915 in South Carolina would have less trouble obtaining birth certificates under a bill up for consideration by the house judiciary committee. The state health department be gan keeping vital statistics in 1915, but individuals bom before that year have found it difficult to prove the date and place of their birth, parti cularly if their family doctor and elderly acquaintences had died. The law enacted April 13, 1939, sti pulated that county clerks of court should record this information, re- leiving the state department of the work. However, the statute required that where the attending physician was not available to certify to the birth, only ‘reputable” and “disint erested unrelated” persons older than the individual seeking a certiflcate could sign the document. LABOR CALLS FOR BREAK Mexico City, March 8.—The Mexi can Confederation of Labor, in a strongly worded pro-United States manifesto, called on all Mexican organizations today to break what ever relations they might have with European institutions in order to re inforce the bonds of friendship on the American continent. Its seven-page declaration was signed by Fidel Velazquez and six other national commiteemen. It de nounced the axis powers and warned against “false patriots” working as fifth columnists. The manifesto aligned the confed eration with the United States in con. trast to its previously consistent “an- imperialist” attitude and the fre quent accustations of critics that it had both Communists and Nazi sym pathizers.

THE FOLLOWING APPEARED IN THE PHILADELPHIA PAPERS SOME YEARS AGO: WHY NOT GO TO CHURCH? If everybody reasoned this matter of church-going to its logical conclusion, there will not be many vacant pews, and a widespread demand for more churches would speedily arise. The reason is simple: People do not stay away trom church because they are opposed to religion or the Church. Far from it. Nearly everyone believes that the Christian Church is absolutely necessary to our civilization. It its existence were threatened, the great mass of people would fight for it. But by some curious kink in their mental processes many non-Church-goers fail to perceive that if everybody followed their example—and every honest person grants others the right to do as he does-the churches would quickly pass out of existence. ' i EVERY NON-ATTENDANT UPON RELIGIOUS SERVICES VIRTUALLY VOTES FOR THE ELIMINATION OF THE INSTITUTION FROM SOCIETY. • If a person believes that the world needs the Church, he has but one clear, unmistakable and unan swerable way of stating his posiron. That is by regular church attendance. The man who goes to church stands for an indispensable institution, even as a good citizen stands for the state by voting.
