Dunning, 1011 BALKAN SHOWDOWN “So Bulgaria, against the wishes of her peasant population, against all her interests, fell in at the Kaiser’s tail and got sadly carved up and punished when the victory was won.” Prime Minister Winston Churchill recalled this' bit of World War history in his broadcast of last month as a warning to the Bulgaria of today. He also remembered that Bulgaria, in the second Bal- kan war in 1913, turned against her friends and allies and was badly defeated. | For the third time in a generation Bulgaria has made a similar mistake. She comes into this con- flict on the side of Hitler and the Axis. At a cere- mony in Vienna, which marked the signing away of Bulgaria's independence, Premier Bogdan Philoff formally lined up his little country with the totali-' tarian powers. Thus Germany, through the diplomatic tech- nique which Hitler has perfected in the last few years, gains another bloodless victory. Once more his propaganda, his trade deals and his pressures on the individual statesmen of his predestined victims reaches its logical conclusion Through the skillful use of terror tactics the Nazis have put the Bulgarians, as they have most victims, in a fatalistic frame of mind. Their choice, they believed, was either to fight, be destroyed and made slaves of the Nordic supermen who consider Slavs an inferior race, or be made slaves M]ling]y‘ They have chosen the second course because they | were not sure of British and Turkish support in suf-| ficient force to resist. successfully. Bulgaria's defection may have a depressing effect on the morale of Yugoslavia. It may cool the Greeks to a degree. But the probable reaction in Turkey zaises the most important question. What will Tur- key do? Foreign Secretary Eg@h and Sir John Dill, chief of the imperial staff, ha¥e just complefed a three- day visit to Ankara to sgcounteract the effects of Turkey's non-aggression iact, with Bulgaria. That document seemed to inditate Turkey's desertion of the Allied cause and the ‘mullification of her mutual assistance agreement with Britain, The British leaders believe they have'\brought Turkey back into line. The Turks, greater in numbers and better equipped than the Bulgarians, are in a stronger po- smon to put up effective resistance. But without | strong British support they could not hold out in- definitely. Britain must act without delay. This new Ger- man triumph will not be a bloodless one for Bul- garia if London breaks off relations with Sofia as she has with Bucharest. The Bulgarians were | warned. Today, like Rumania and Hungary, the | little Balkan state is enemy territory. Nazi bases, communications and sources of supply in these states | must be destroyed if Britain is to hold the second Mront which Greece has opened. It is imperative that Britain move quickly if she is to hold Turkey in line and if she hopes to win Yugoslavia. Gen. Wavell's army of the Nile, vic- torious against the Italians in North Africa, has . plenty of work to do in the Balkans. The Greeks 'and the Turks—and the Yugoslavs if they come in on the Allled side—must be heavily reinforced with ! men and material. i The importance of this front cannot be over- |estimated. It gives Britain an opportunity to come to grips with Hitler’'s land forces and tie up men |and supplies in southeastern Europe, That means a | lessening of the threat of invasion at home. It means the blocking of new sources of supply in the Near East such as the Mosul oil fields. Now as never before Britain needs war material. The result of the Balkan campaign will determine | the length of the war. America is vitally concerned in that question. It can best aid itself and protect its future by getting war goods for use in the Bal- kans to Britain at once. Labor’s Fate Up to Labor (Cleveland Plain Dealer) Organized labor, which has made tremendous gains in the last eight years, is in danger of de- stroying them. The powers of a prophet are not necessary to know that strong regulatory measures | which nobody wants are inevitable. The nation has moved closer to such regulation with Armament Production Chief Knudsen's recommendations to Congress for a mediation board. The most pressing problem before the nation for several months has been how to increase de- fense production. Labor has had a golden opportun- ity. Let labor solve some of the difficulties; let labor show that it can assume the responsibilities of leadership in time of crisis, and labor would be re- warded as never before through popular approval. But what do we find? A quibble over the closed shop bogey stops $45,000,000 worth of Army and Navy orders at Allis-Chalmers. Strikes and violence occur Harvester. A quibble over union “phrases”—not wages and | working conditions—prevents full use of Ford Motor. 'CIO votes $100,000 to organize Ford. Fifty union offices are set up around the plant, scores of or- ganizers mount soap boxes, hundreds of thousands of pamphlets are distributed, daily radio programs are concocted to harangue men turning out implements of defense, | Three thousand pickets block the entrances to Bethlehem Steel's Lackawanna plant defying men who would serve their country at the furnaces and mills. These instances are not isolated examples but are typical and many more could be listed. Labor will learn one salient fact, but we fear | it will learn too late. Federal laws balanced on the | side of unions will not bring Utopia to the movement. Thesc laws will stand only if labor proves that the rcoum.ry profits by them. I It labor persists in using its strength to obstruct rearmament, these laws will fall and the gains of years will be demolished. at International Censorship in California is becoming less and less efficient. So far this season reports have slipped through concerning both an earthquake and a rain- storm. There is a big dispute over who started the brawl in the Sofia cafe, but no one has yet sug- gested that George Earle didn’t finish it. England has rejected Tokyo's offer to mediate !in the European conflict. The British suspect that the Son of Heaven is not surrounded by angels of peace.
