is engaged in some sort of 1856r dispute with its employees. Nothing of the kind appears to be true. Although the ements of the hotel management and the union leader vary on some points, neither offers the slightest evidence that there is, or has been, any dis‘agreement between management and employees, or that there is, in fact, even one member of the picketing union “employed in the hotel. Even the pickets themselves are not members of this, or of any other, union. : is apparent, still from the two statements, that the line was established in an attempt to compel the management to compel its employes to join a union they had not seen fit, or had not previously been injoin of their own free will. is, then, an organizing campaign, and not a labor | ‘at all. The only issue is between the leader of a the workers at the hotel who did not wish to his union, er whom he did not take the trouble to ask join. It has merely seemed easier to threaten the busiof the employer as a means of getting him to force his employes in, en masse. » This is a form of “union” activity from which Mdian- “ apolis has been fortunately free, due largely to the high standards of the city's long-established and able leaders of organized labor. It will be regrettable now if they permit “a newcomer under the cloak of a union charter to engage in .a practice which has the general disapproval of most ~ Americans, both inside and outside the ranks of organized labor.

pute. Since the Russian press is government-controlled, this indicates Stalin is still not convinced that Britain and the United States intend to open a western European land

that misconception before the Moscow conference can pro- ~ ceed to the post-war discussion for which it was called. That should not be difficult. . : : Soviet suspicions to the contrary, there is no political reason preventing Anglo-American invasion from the west. All the political pressure is for speed. British public opinjon demands it. Allied governments-in-exile insist on it, and the underground movements in the occupied countries ‘are impatient for it. ; fe : The rapid advance of Russian armies from the east has increased Russia's political prestige and power in Europe, which can be balanced only by an Anglo-American western front. : ar : On the political side, Great Britain and the United States have everything to gain and nothing to lose by an offensive against Germany across the channel. ; . 5» : FE BT the military factors are not so simple. The western allies have not been strong enough in the past to deliver that knockout blow. They might have been if they had not weakened their western invasion forces by diverting planes and tanks to Russia, and by diverting other forces to carry the whole burden of the war against Japan which Russia feels she cannot now share. By so doing, the western allies delayed a “second front” to the very great advantage of Russia.’ ; . Moreover, the first phase of the Anglo-American offensive against western Europe is now under way. That tremendous air bombardment of Germany is not something unrelated to the eastern, southern and western land fronts, Already it has drawn thousands of Nazi planes and pilots from the Russian front.

And it is softening up Germany for our land invasion.
