Things must move speedily and continuously in this glebal war. Strike action by labor, damaging to the ar effort, brought about the Anti-Strike Act, taking from labor much of the freedom for which it has fought for many years. Any strike of the size con- templated by the railroad brotherhoods will most probably force Congress to enact more of such legisla- tion, bring more setbacks. The coal strike settled one thing, It showed that the Government would not hesitate in taking over and running the mines—with armed troops—if such was necessary to the wimning of the war. Perhaps troops will be running the trains, after December 30 PAGE FOUR ok .

ARMY Some time ago, this column re- vealed the manner in which Ameri- can youngsters who had fought for the Spanish Loyalists during the civil war of 1936-39 were being kicked around inside the U. S. Army. They were flunked out of officer candidate schools even when they stood near the top of their class, and many were refused com- bat duty. | Since then, thanks to liberal As- sistant Secretary of War Jack Mc- Cloy, this situation has changed. Spanish Loyalist veterans have been given a chance to get into combat. They have more than justified this reversal of discrimination. Here is| the record of a few of them. | Sergeant Anthony Toney of Glo- versville, N. Y. received the Dis- tinguished Flying Cross for air op- erations in the Pacific; Sergeant/ Jerry Weinberg of Brooklyn was cited for the DFC for participating in the Ploesti air raid, in which he was forced down; geant Robert mittee of Free Spain. That was one reason they kept the Loyalist Min- ister of Education cooling his heels in Seattle for so long. He wanted to cross the U. S. A. to Mexico “T. R GRANDSON At the close of the Atlantic City Relief Conference, the head of an important foreign delegation re- marked: “This is the first interna- tional conference in which the Am- erican delegation was hard to get along with.” Normally, U. S. delegates, espec- ially when hosts of a conference, make themselves readily available to foreign deleg: especially to chief delegates. This particular chief delegate of a powerful Latin American ally called the hotel room of U. S. Del- egate Dean Acheson, got young Kermit Roosevelt on the phone. Roosevelt, grandson of “T. R." is an assistant in the State Depart- ment “I would like an appointment to see Mr. Acheson,” said the delegate “What do you want to see him rabout?” asked Roosevelt.
