NAZIS HAMMER AT ALLIED UNITY

Halifax Says Hitler Hopes |

To Divide America and

Great Britain.

BALTIMORE, Md., ‘Dec. 8 (U. P) British Ambassador Lord Halifax said last night that Adolf Hitler now is staking his whole hope for victory on a desperate effort to divide the allies over the independence of Indih and the Nagi charge that America has been tricked into Siahuing to preserve the British Em-

Lord Halifax addressed the sal. ||

timore Association of Commerce and the Maryland section of the ‘ English. speaking union. Explaining that contrary to the wishes of his general staff, Hitler had involved Germany in a war of

exhaustion of two fronts, Lord Hal-

{fax said: “If we could put ourselves in Hitler's shoes, what would we fear most? Where would lie the ‘greatest danger of defeat?

Unity Is Hitler's Peril

“There could be only one answer =the unity of the united nations. If we remain united, the prospect for the Germans is black indeed. But if by any means we can be divided, then they may still :hope.” The German radio, he said, is ceaselessly trying to drive a wedge between Britain and the United States. : #Berlin tells the Americans: ‘The British determine Washington's policy. Churchill requests, Roosevelt obeys.’ But a week later, the same radio tells the English: ‘The strategic directions are dictated solely by Washington. Washington orders, Churchill obeys’.” Halifax said that this line reach. es its logical conclusion when the Berlin radio tells America that the British “will fight to the last drop of Towa blood,” and almost in the same breath, tells Britain that Churchill has not yet realized that the United States has resolved to fight to the last Tommy.”

U. S. Is Concerned

“I realize that opinion in this| Fram

country is greatly concerned about India,” he said. “People sometimes speak as if the whole problem could be simply stated in terms of one people struggling to be ffee and another struggling to keep them down.” This, he said, is far from the truth, nd he branded as a “complete fabrication” stories that in his: historic mission to India, Sir Stafford Cripps was overruled by London at'a critical moment in the negotiations.

He said that Cripps’ offer would have given to Indian leaders “every post in the executive council, except that of commander-in-chief and after the war, it would have given India the right to frame her own constitution, and, if she so wished, to leave the British ‘commonwealth, “That offer was rejected becatise the minorities of India, headed by some 90,000,000 Moslems, were quite unwilling to. accept any form of government which would place them under the Congress Party,” he ‘said.

Times Special : WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-Neither

a global war nor Mrs. Roosevelt is going to make coal miners out of women if the United Mine Workers of America continue to control labor in the mines.

For the official journal of John L.

Lewis’ union, published here today, served ‘notice that the U. M. W. A. is hanging out a “Men Only” sign.

“Necessity for ‘women in coal

mines does not exist” is the title of an article pointing out that a West Virginia miné operator had ‘hired five women but promptly fired them when the union said “no.”

The piece castigates the interior

department for putting out publicity calling attention to the women mine workers.

All that Christmas means to us is in peril today. The peace and, good-will, the warmth and cheer, the joyous athering of family and friends . . . all these may te lost to us unless we dedicate ourselves wholly to the task of winning the

We must, with valiance and courage

“William Beury, general manager of the Algoma Coal Co. hired five women to work as tipple workers, on the alleged pretense of solving a manpower shortage,” the U. M M. W. A. Journal stated. “Beury dreamed up - the" ‘mane power shortage’ because investigation has revealed that, on the very day the five women were hired, eight men were refused jobs at the Algoma

“In notifying the Algoma mine!

owner that he must immediately stop the practice of hiring women, George J. Titler, president of Dis trict 20, summed up the matter in these words: , “‘It is regrettable that coal operators will attempt to reduce the soclal standard of wives and daugh-

ters of our membership to a level with thosé practiced in the ‘Dark Ages’ that of slaving in the production of coal, which was abolished in England in the 18th century.’” Citing a similar case where the union made a mine in western Canada stop employing women, the journal concluded: Z “In the first place, the employment of women in and around | mines is not practical, as years of experience have shown. Coal mining is not a woman's job and that’s all there is to it. For that reason U. M. W. A. contracts specifically cover men, not women. “In the second place, there is no necessity of bringing in women to solve a manpower shortage because

there are hundreds of older men,

experienced miners now out of work, who need the jobs and who can perform them much more capably than can women.”
