Wwish to permit an interruption of war production in wartime a result of this dispute?” This ballot was conducted under Government auspices and by Gov- ernment machinery. The taxpayers of the country, in fact, including the fathers and mothers, brothers and sisters of the men now in the armed forces, will have | to pay a tax of $300,000 to defray the expense of taking it. And under the ballot more than 208,000 miners voted that they did indeed wish to interrupt war production if their new demands were not sat- isfactorily met. - Only 25,000 of them voted against such an interruption. As many of these miners are brothers and fathers of men in the service, of men whose very lives depend upon the maximum American production and the uninterrupted flow of the stream | of supplies, one can only wonder at the perverted reasoning which made them vote by the overwhelming ratio of eight to one in favor of willingness to wreck as themselves the the whole war effort unless their new demands were | becomes deeper when we pay of these miners met.

Chief of Staff. | “Lord Halifax took me over to 'y see Gen. Marshall” he explained, “and he spread out for me on the map the vast power of the Ameri- can forces.

Concluding, he turned to Lord Halifax and asked: “And can I say what I said when I left?” Lord Halifax nodded great secret was going closed. “I said,” continued Foreign Min- ister Eden, “‘Gen. Marshall is such a nice man.” Senators who listened thought they read into this remark the diplomatic inference that, with all our military might, we would seek to use that might to dominate the world. as if a to be dis- STASSEN'S WORD-SLIP In addition to members of the Senate Foreign Relations Commit- tee, U. 8.7 delegates to the San Francisco Conference were also present at the confidential meeting including Dean Virginia Gilder- sleeve of Barnard Colleg and Comynander Harold Stassen of Minnesota. Both were called upon by Texas' Chairman “Long Tom™ Connally to speak. Stassen, appar- ently getting his British statesmen mixed, twice referred to Foreign Minister Eden as the “Prime Min- ister.” Stassen paid tribute British cooperation in the Pacific and the wisdom of sending the British Fleet to the Pacific.
