SAY 2,500 U, §, FIRMS MAKE, USE OF LABOR SPIES $10,000,000 Spent on Strike- Breaking, Says Senate Civil Liberties Body Washington, Dec. 21—(#)—The sen- ate civil liberties committee said Tues- day that labor spies were employed by 2,500 firms—"“a bluebook of Amer- ican industry.” And, the committee added in a re- port to the senate on work for the year, many of the spies were found to be union members, “including a ne- tional vice president of his union.” The committee, composed of Sena- tors LaFollette (Prog.-Wis.) ‘Thomas (Dem.-Utah), charged the spying practice violated “the right of free speech and assembly” and that about $10,000,000 had been spent “by certain corporations for spies, muni- tions and strike-breakers in the past three years.” Chairman LaFollette said the com- Mittee was “preparing appropriate legislation” intended to safeguard “genuine collective bargaining.” The committee reported that Gen- eral Motors corporation “paid $994,855 to detective agencies for spy services” from January, 1934, through July, 1936, and at the time had “a weird framework of spies among spies” to check up on each other.

The Japanese high command cer- order, or condone, an incident which might lead to difficulties with the United Staes. Further, there is no indication that anybody in Japan wants trouble with us. But the iron-fisted militarism which has come down from the days of the shoguns has deliberately im- bued its youths with @ regard for war and a disregard for consequences, which must be held responsible for such incidents as that of the Yangtze bombing. It is this militarism which is back of the conquest of China against the wishes of a big percent- age of the Japanese people. Ic Modern, Ancient Clash There are in Japan two world out- looks. One is modern and the other medieval. ‘The modern group represen: who have had contact with the west- lern world and like it. They are the moderates, who stand for progress by peaceful methods. They don’t want war with China or anybody else. The medieval party is made up of feudal-minded militarists. They want no truck with the western world, and take what they desire by force. In this group are the army (frequently supported by the more modern navy), and the majority of the rural popula- tion, which still follows the paths beaten out by its ancestors hundreds of years ago. The army leadership of today is mainly composed of narrowly trained men. Not only are they feudal-mind- ed but many of them hold extreme views which border on fanaticism. And all their ifess revolve about war. Revolt Against Military Up until within a couple of years there was no serious challenge to the domination of the military group. The army told the government what to do, and that was the end of it. A very definite revolt against the militarists came when the people be- came conoerned over the high cost of living—result of the cost of mili- tary adventures on the continent. Three times in the last two years cabinets have resigned, and in each instance it has been the reault of a clash between the moderates and the army group.

In- creased harvest labor costs, in- creased cost of sacking and lower prices all combined paradoxically to make a good crop a poor crop, Splonskowski explained.
