as “a dagger pointed at the heart of Berlin,” and the unofficial speculation was that now, at last, plans were being completed to ‘plunge the dagger home. Today's announcement made no mention of the United States general staff, although the Americans had been in on early ‘conferences yesterday. | Churchill arrived yesterday from an east coast port where he reached Canadian soil after a journey from London. The Roosevelt-Churchill meeting will be a British-American'af-fair, it was revealed. Mr. Roosevelt said in Washington yesterday afternoon, soon after Prime Minister W. L. MacKenzie King announced that Churchill was in Canada, that no representative of Soviet Russia would be present. Mr. Roosevelt indicated his disappointment. Nor will there be a Chinese representative.

Discuss World Strategy

Observers Here and in Washington and London agreed that the two leaders would discuss strategy on the world-wide war front and believed their discussions and decisions would be conveyed to the two other big members of the united nations—Russia and China. The fall of Benito Mussolini, the expected invasion of Italy after Sicily falls finally into allied hands, the internal situation in Germany, the prospects of opening an offensive to retake Burma this fall— all these were subjects they were expected to discuss. The result of their conference was expected to be demonstrated by action on one or more war fronts soon. It was recalled that the invasion of French North Africa followed one of their talks; that the invasion of Sicily was planned at their conference at Casablanca.

Correspondents Warned

Meanwhile, correspondents here and in the United States were warned against violating security regulations regarding the movements of those connected with the current conferences. y Accompanying Churchill from Britain were chiefs of the general staff Gen. Sir Allan Brooke, Adm.

of the Fleet Sir Dudley Pound and

Air Chief Marshal Sir Charles Por-

tel, and the chief of the commandos,

Vice Adm. Lord Louis Mountbatten. Also with him were Mrs. Churchill and their daughter, Mary Churchill, who is a subaltern in the British auxiliary territorial service, and Wing Commander G. P. Gibson, who led the British bombers which wrecked the Mohne and Eder dams in the Ruhr valley.

General Staffs Present

Names of high United States officers who are here were not revealed, although an official stateemnt said

the “general staffs of Great Britain

and the United States” met with the Canadian war cabinet yesterday. Chiefs of staff of the three Canadian armed forces were here— Rear Adm. Percy W. Nelles, Lt. Gen, Kenneth Stuart, and Air Adm. L. S. Breadner, as were most members of the Canadian war cabinet committee, Defense Minister J. L. Ralston, Munitions Minister C. D. Howe, Navy Minister Angus MacDonald and Air Minister C. G. Power. The Canadian war cabinet continued in session today at the requisitioned Chateau Frontenac, atop

Conference Expected

‘war plans for Germany,

President Roosevelt, Mr .Churchill appears to have divested himself

of every pre-war interest and prewar political enmity, in favor of a concentrated hatred for one enemy-—the axis. His task called for mobilization of the best brains in the British empire. Ability and availability became the sole tests of fitness. A conservative himself, his national (coalition) government has called up the best men available, implemented them with necessary responsibility and authority, and damn the political labels and prewar attitudes. The result is a government which, though a mixture of all parties, is conservative in its final word, the word of the prime minister himself. Nevertheless, both Mr. Churchill and his government enjoy the full confidence and support of the labor (Socialist) party which in peacetime would be in vigorous opposition.

# ” Too Much Suspicion

THE SITUATION contrasts sharply with our own, Here Republicans and anti-New Deal Democrats have frequently joined hands to block proposed wartime legislation, the effectiveness of which had been demonstrated in England. The explanation lies in a suspicion and fear existent in the American congress which does not becloud the situation in the British parliament, a fear of sharp political schemes operating behind a smoke screen of war. In contrast to the opposition which the president has often encountered within and without

of pressing problems. These included: 1. The fall of the Mussolini government and the possibility of Italy seeking peace. 2. The successful Russian summer offensive and continued Soviet dissatisfaction with the allied failure to open a front on the continent of Europe. 3. The reported widening breach in Germany between Nazi and military elements and sagging morale on the German home front. 4. The necessity for drastically shortening the time between planning and operations.

Arrived by Train

In addition were Russian postPoland, Jugo-Slavia -and possibly others whose unofficial committees in Moscow either rival national governments in London, or, like the German committee, have no counterpart or other recognition in other allied capitals. Churchill and his party arrived in

six special railroad cars from the

east toast port where they were met by high officials of both the United

boarded the train some distance from Quebec city. . The party .left the train on the south shore of the St. Lawrence where they were met by Sir Eugene Fiset, lieutenant governor of Quebec province; Adelard Godbout, premier of the province and Lucien Borne, mayor of Quebec.

proceeded to the city together while Mrs. Churchill and her daughter drove in with the lieutenant governor, Later MacKenzie King escorted the party to the famous citadel, the summer home of the Canadian governor general, Lord Athlone, where the Churchills will stay. Churchill, Mrs. Churchill and MacKenzie King dined privately and during the evening discussed the international situation and plans for the conference.’ Canadian officials were particularly pleased that no word of Churchill’s arrival leaked to the general public which in this city was well aware that great events impended. As the preparations proceeded, rumors ran the gamut from an Anglo-American-Soviet meeting to the arrival of the Pope and even to an arraignment of Mussolini for his war crimes in the Chateau

Frontenac.

would induce the Progressive leaders to withdraw. They declare they won't withdraw. The Progressives were organized in the early 1930s after a bitter dispute with the Lewis-led U. M. W., part of a conflict in which more than a score of persons had died by gunfire and many have served dy =u sentences from southern Illinois. When Mr. Lewis pulled his big union out of the A. F. of L. in 1935 to found the:C. I. O,, the Progressives moved to get the vacated charter, and they were awarded it in 1938—with full jurisdiction over all men employed in or around mines in the United States. They made an attempt to organize nationally, but were blocked by the national labor relations board, and their strength of 20,000 to 35,000 men—compared to the more than half a million of the U. M. W.—is confined mainly to Illinois, with a scattering in Kentucky. Mr. Thrush declares that so far as his union is concerned the only way for the U. M. W. to re-enter the A. P. of L. is for the individual members to go in through membership in the Progressives. Nobody seems to have the least idea Mr. Lewis would agree to that.

Lewis Called Racketeer

“The Progressive miners organization,” its president told the A. F. of L. council, “came into being because of the injustices of the United Mine Workers toward the workers in the coal mines, the failure of that organization to represent the coal miners properly, the repeated selling of the coal miners down the river by John L. Lewis land his provisional appointed officers, denial of the rights of sufrage and democratic representation, the uncompromising and dictatorial at-

radical opposition has gone along step by step with him asd bi his conservative colleagues, demand jog only reasonable evidence that the power sought was necessary to the more effective prosecution of the war effort. To chéck on what appeared to be a general opinion, I asked one of the leading labor members of Mr. Churchill's war . cabinet whether there was ever any fear

under cover of the war effort the conservatives might put over some reactionary legislation prejudicial to labor's interests. His reply was that under Churchill's leadership such a thing would be “unthinkable.” » 8 ”

Only Temporary Power WITH ALL of the surrender of personal liberty in England, there has been no surrender of the political tools necessary for the recovery of what has been temporarily given up, nor is the government ever permitted to forget the temporary nature of the people’s grant of extraordinary wartime power. An ‘example was furnished just a few days ago. Foreign Minister Eden, speaking for the government, sought, in the interest of speed, to eliminate one reading of a pending bill. Commons bristled, and members demanded the floor. They rebuked the government for presuming that a concession twice grant&d in a wartime emergency had become established as a right. It was emphasized that the prime minister (and his” government) is the child of parliament and at all times subject to its commands. Mr. Eden quickly admitted parliament's mastery over the executive, and backed down. Commons scored a quick and bloodless victory. In so doing, it sharply reminded the government, and reassured the public, of parliament’s constant’ awareness of the- temporary nature of any and all of its wartime grants of extraordinary power.

Federation of Labor . .. Cite No-Strike Pledge “You now have a patriotic and democratic coal mifiers’ union. Every member of the Progressive miners is entitled to fair and honest representation, and has a voice in selection of his officers and in management of his union affairs.

‘Such does not exist in the United

Mine Workers.” The Progressives also -pointed out to the AFL governing body that theirs was “the only coal miners’ organization that has adhered strictly to the federation’s no-strike pledge, while: the organization now seeking affiliation ignored this policy when the nation was at its most critical moment. The strikes called by John L. Lewis were the immediate cause of enactment of the vicious Connally-Smith bill.” William Green, federation president, confirmed the Progressives’ charter rights, and also stated that the organization probably would have made more membership progress if in 1938 and 1939 it had not encountered unfavorable action from the NLRB. At that time the Progressives were campaigning for members in West Virginia and other coal states, and the United Mine Workers were part of the C. I. O. The NLRB was under charges from the A. PF. of L. that its decisions were loaded in favor of the C. I. O. When the Progressives petitioned the NLRB for collective-bargaining elections in competition with the U. M. W, the board ruled they would have to show membership majorities in entire large areas— such as the northern Appalachian and southern 'Appalachian mining regions. They could not attempt to
