Straight From
Washington
By STEPHEN M. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio
Washington.—Assistant Secretary
of War Patterson announces that he
will withdraw the property seizure
bill which he had introduced in Con
gress. Vigorou.- opposition developed
to this bill immediately following its
ntroduction. The proponents might
as well withdraw it for the bill has
no more chance of passage than has
a sheep to kill the butcher. Assist
ant Secretary Patterson's proposal,
had it been enacted into law could
accomplish the tran-fer of any indus
try from private ownership and opera
tion to Government ownership and
operation. No time limit was fixed
This drastic proposal was to be ef
fective in any time of national emer
gency. Such powers were regarded
by Congressmen as not only dictator
ial, but as unnecessary and unjusti
fied—particularly in time of peace.
Under the present Selective Service
Act the President is authorized to
take over any plant which refuses to
manufacture supplies or arms consid
ered necessary by the Secretary of
War or the Secretary of the Navy
after the order for these supplies or
arms is given. The present law there
fore, gives President Roosevelt au
thority to take effective action where
plant owners, individuals or corpora
tions, refuse to be cooperative. No
further draft property legislation is
needed at this time.
Ambassador Winant
Ambassador Winant did not bring
any peace proposals. Probably any
peace terms offered by Hitler could
not be accepted on faith. France's
experience is to the point. At this
time, Unoccupied France is just as
muc^i under Hitler's heel as is Occu
pied France. The Vichy Government
is now in alliance with Hitler. Never
theless, this war will come to and end
All wars do. Its conclusion will de
cide who will make the rules for run
ning the world—Hitler or the United
States and Great Britain, as has been
done in the past.
War Monger?
Unthinking Americans may term
President Roosevelt a war monger.
Britain's diplomats and newspapers
are not among those who consider that
President Roosevelt is pushing this
country along the road to war. They
are critical of the American policy of
"aid short of war" and Ambassador
Winant reported this increasing impa
tience on the part of the British.
Diminishing Navies
United States Ambassador Winant
reported that the British Navy has
suffered far more tremendous losses
than published reports have indicated.
In fact, more than 132 requests have
been made for the repair of such
British ships in American shipyards.
The British naval losses in the Medi
terranean were extremely severe.
Senator's Troubles
Senator Hiram Johnson thinks he
has troubles. In an impassioned ad
dress in the Senate he said: "I am
not a Nazist, I am not a Fascist, thank
God I am not a Communist"—the
Congressional Record quoted the Sen
ator as saying: "I am not a Nazi-ist,
I am a Fascist."

AFL UNION OFFICIAL SAYS
BRIDGES IS COMMUNIST
San Francisco (ILNS).—Harry
Bridges, West Coast CIO maritime
leader is a Communist, Harry Lunde
berg, secretary-treasurer of the A. F.
of L. Sailors Union of the Pacific, tes
tified at the Bridges deportation hear
ing. Lundeberg declared Bridges and
a Communist party official both told
him Bridges was a Communist.
Lundeberg asserted he went io
Bridges' home in 1935 and met Sam
Darcy, then secretary of the Califor
nia Communist party. Darcy now is
facing prosecution on charges of mak
ing false statements when registering
as a voter.
"Darcy asked me to join the Com
munist party," Lundeberg said. "Gave
me a lot of soft soap, said if I would
join the Communist party he would
do me a lot of good, give me a lot of
support. I said I was a trade union
man and didn't see why I should join
the Communist party. He said Bridges
was a member of the Communist
party."
