Hoosier Vagabond

ALBUQUERQUE. April 21 —In the accumulated mail is a letter from Rene Belbenoit, the famous Devil's Island fugitive, the man who wrote the dreadfu! and powerful book, Dry Guillotine.” y You may remember that we know him quite well, : and think highly of him, and saw him last a year ago in exile in il Costa Rica, after he had been ’ kicked out of the United States. His letter was written in NovemBal. ber. but I am just now seeing it. X It is sad be “Now I have to leave this country,” he says. “I am going to Colombia. Do vou remember in one of your articles once about me you speak of the ‘pendulum’ . . . well this time he is again in the bad : . and every day he is going to the extreme of what he was when I was happy in the United States, “My new book was not accepted by the publishers . and I have no will for make the changes they asked me, “I lose mv wife and the home I have in New York.

Back to the Jungle? The letter was written in November. There has been none since. Rene Belbenoit once again has probably been forced bv humanity to cower in the jungle, Each harsh move drives him inevitably closer and closer back to the unspeakable terrors of Devil's Island. If that vile door ever shuts on him again, he will never emerge. No. net all the savagery of the human race is being unleashed in the skies over Britain. The world’s ‘good people,” which includes us, contribute their share. From a friend in Honolulu: “You should see what a bee-hive this place is how.

Inside Indianapolis (And “Our Town’)

IT IS WITH TONGUE in cheek that we let you in on the latest development in the Zionsville fire siren situation The siren, vou remember. was a brand new one to call the volunteer smoke eaters of the town to their dutv., The old one was not a screaming success, but the new one was working until last week. That's when one of the natives got an idea. He perched on a hill top behind the station and let loose a perfect imitation of the siren. Apparently he had practiced somewhere because his first performance was a bellringer, : The volunteers dropped their evervday tasks and ran to their posts. A check with the telephone operator and with folks around the station netted enough clues to indicate shenanigans. The firemen concluded they wouldn't be Yooled a second time, But they were, The second imitation was just as good and without another thought the volunteers sped to the station. Sizing up the situation, they ran up the hill, But the imitator was down the other side and gone, The property owners of Zionsville needn’t worry—

“If food goes any higher, we'll all be sitting in coconut trees eating wild bananas. The Islands are grimly going about the business of defense, and they are not the Paradise they once were.” And old Farmer Cavanaugh out in California, whose picturesque mode of expression was somewhat hamstrung this winter by the knowledge that censors would be reading all his letters, writes: “Unconfirmed reports have reached me that you survived the horrors of the Savoy and Mayfair teas, so I now take pen in hand to welcome you back to your beloved land of central heating and multiple toilets.” Then follows a string of smoking verbiage that would make a mule-skinner blanch, After which Mr. Cavanaugh says: “It's good you're back in a county where a guy can put some teeth into his language without wondering if some constipated government clerk is reading everything you write.” And he winds up with the query: “Where are you off to now? Why don't you settle down and raise chickens? You're so damn fidgety; bad as Hitler.”

His Mother Understood

When TI graduated from high school way back there in the dim past, there were but eight in our class— three boys and five girls, We were farm Kids, every one of us. Now comes a letter from one of them, of whom I had completely lost track. She is married and has children almost as big as we were when we saw each other last. ' And she says: “The notice in the paper of your mother’s death made me pause and think, to the exclusion of everything else for a long time, of my life before marriage, of my school days, of your father and mother, and of vou who were once my very good friend. " “I'm thinking just now of the genuine friendship I had with vour mother; how good she was to me when I was denied a college education while the rest of you were away at school. I will always remember her with the deepest appreciation. She was indeed a mother.” Ee never even thought of that before; of the heartbreak of the kids who had to stay behind. But my mother would think of it, of course. She always thought of things like that. " The last letter in the pile. It's from the president of a big lecture bureau, who cabled, called and wrote asking if I wouldn't go on a lecture tour, to which I replied with a fesounding series of “No’s.” So now he writes back, and he says, “Next time vou are in New York let's have lunch together anyway. I won't try to sign you to anything and the hell with lecturing.” I think I'd probably like that guy.

other day. Two or three fire engines had crossed the Missouri St. railroad tracks. Then a train hove into view and the gateman started to lower the barriers. But. wait! Here comes another fire engine. The sateman looked quickly down the tracks, glanced down the street and then raised one of the gates. The fire engine sped under the one barrier—a few seconds later the train zipped past.

England as Poor Ally

By CARROLL BINDER

THE OUTST A NDING impression created in the mind of the reader of the foreign cables during the last week was one of seemingly interminable German successes, All Jugoslav organized military resistance had collapsed by the 11th day of

the blitzkreig.

German troops had forced the Greek and British defenders of Greece to yield many square miles of Greek territory. The Gérman mechanized forces in North Africa had pressed forward to the Egyptian border. German diplomacy and German military successés had dissuaded the Turks from offering any military resistance and Axis propaganda confidently asserted that Turkey would soon desert its British and Greek allies by negotiating a4 pact with Germany. German aviators had dealt London the severest bombardment yet experienced by any community. The British were able to give Berlin and other German dominated cities a taste of the same medicine, but obviously were not able to prevent Hitler's air foree from inflicting appalling losses upon the British civil population as well as upon British industry, transport, docks and shipyards. The lossés inflicted upon British shipping and Britain-bound cargoes of planes, munitions and food by German bombers and submarines are no longer being made known until a month has elapsed so it is impossible to determine how the Battle of the Atlantic has gone during the past week, but the British probably continue to suffer severely on that sector as well as on the rest of the many-sided front. * 8 x

swept over the areas of Cyrenaica which the British had taken from the Italians only two months earlier addéd to the impressive ness of the Nazi claims. It began to be assumed in many quarters that the British naval base at Alexandria and the Suez Canal itself would quickly fall into Axis hands. If Germany succeeds in conquering all of Greece, it is not inconceivable that such a blow may be dealt the British, but it is apparent from the dispatches of Casey and Yindrich and such episodes as the sinking of an Axis convoy of five merchant ships bearing troops and supplies and three Italian destroyers, that the British are still masters of the Mediterranean and that the Axis is not yet in a position to adequately provision its mechanized foi'ces in North Africa.

man diplomacy, German intrigue and German propaganda in advancing the totalitarian cause—a combination of force, cunning and inflexible purpose. No American who wishes to see his country continue to function along its traditional lines can view the German successes and the British-Greek-Yugoslav reverses with anything but anxiety. But to properly evaluate the present situation one must be on one’s guard against misrepresentations in the Axis propaganda which are designed to persuade Americans and other anti-totali-tarians that the totalitarian cause is more successful and more irresistable than is actually the case. Axis propagandists cleverly seek to drive a wedge between the Greeks and their British allies by repeatedly circulating the story that the British are deserting the Greeks and meantime forcing the Greeks to suffer the full impact of the German attack. The main purpose of this propaganda, of course, has been to induce the Greeks to abandon resistance, but it is also designed to persuade the

Turks. Egyptians and Americans that the British are treacherous and undependable allies. The dispatches of George Weller of the Chicago Daily News staff and other dependable American correspondents in Greece clearly indicate that the British have given the Greeks the most effective assistance possible from such a limited force and that relations between the Greek and British troops are exceptionally

cordial,

British Foresight Revealed

WELLER'S DISPATCHES, moreover, made it clear that the Greeks and British had shown ex=ceptional foresight in preparing the defense of Greece. The Germans at first claimed the capture of such vast numbers of prisoners as to suggest that the Allied command had foolishly left vast numbers of men and great quantities of materials in Thrace and Macedonia.

In circulating stories of this sort, the German propaganda machine does not reckon on the ability of independent American newspaper correspondents to dis prove exaggerated German claims. Robert J.

Wavell's achieve= | ments in Cyrenaica in the early , part of this year were of great value to the Allied cause despite subsequent, British reverses in the same area. It all comes back to the fact that the best hope of the Axis lies in a speedy victory and that the only hope of a victory for Britain and its allies lie in their ability to prolong the struggle and deprive the Axis of oil and other badly needed resources by costly military operations or the disruption of production and distribution in Axis-dominated territory,

The new labor law provides that strikes can be called only by a majority vote of the employees of a given plant. Before they can strike, they must give six days notice—or 10 days in the case of public utilities. This notice must set forth the grievances and the terms of settlement desired.

MEXICO CITY, April 21.—Nothing reveals the ghift in the wind here as clearly as the new labor law, imposing a cooling off period before strikes can be called, This new law, signed April 10, preserves the right to strike but fixes firm restrictions around it. It was provoked by a continued wave of strikes. President Avila Camacho feels strongly the need of increasing production and insists upon labor's co-operation.

In preparing the way for this tightening down, President Avila Camacho appeared before the Confederation of Mexican Workers at its cenvention in February and put labor on notice. He gave assurance that labor gains under the previous Cardenas regime would be protected. “But.” he went on to sav. “the worker's must accept the responsibility of this hour, They must revise their methods and must give the co-operation which the nation requires.” To appreciate fully what is taking place, it must be remembered that the Cardenas regime was a labor government. Great political power was exevcsied by the Marvist labor leader, Lombardo Toledano, who after his return from Soviet Russia a few years ago,

within 48 hours. If either side refuses to attend conciliation sessions, judicial compulsion can be invoked. If a strike is called by less than a majority of plant employees, or if it occurs in violation of the cooling off period, or violated the collective bargaining contract, the government concilation board can declare the strike non-existent, give workers 24 hours to return to work, and if they fail to do so, the employer is thersupon relieved of all liahility.

My Day

WASHINGTON, Sunday.—When I was in Buffalo, N. Y., I saw the NYA Training Shop and it looked like an extremely efficient, well laid out plant. I am sure the boys are learning skills which will help them to get jobs in the new factories which are now opening. I was happy in going through the airplane factories to notice that older workers everywhere were willing and anxious to let the younger ones learn from them. I could not help thinking of the tremendous weight of responsibility which each of these workers carries for the lives of the young pilots who will later fly these planes, A bit of work carelessly done may mean death to a pilot in some crucial moment in the future. Friday, in WilkesBarre, Pa, I had little time except to hold a press conference and to give my lecture. After it, I at tended a supper of the E. Walter Samuel Sunday Schoal class of the First Methodist Church, which sponsored the lecture. In Wilkes-Barre their problem of unemployment is still paramount, because there are no defense industries to take up the slack and solve the unemployment in the coal fields. Saturday, in New York City, I did a number of errands and saw some of my family. In the evening I went to see Lillian Hellman's play “Watch on the

If the program which has been sent me by the Brooklyn College Student Council is really to be part of the thinking of all these young people on this day, it will be a valuable day to many of them. : None of us knows how circumstances may change from day to day, nor what we must meet as time goes on, but the notice sent to me of “Design for Living, a democratic world at peace, Triple A for peace and democracy” has much food for thought, and shows a willingness to discuss and face the situation as it is today for us and the world.
