What John L. Lewis and William Green do and say has for long been of deep concern to a large segment of the U. S. public. Last week it became apparent that the public will probably be just as concerned in future with the doings and sayings of a couple of other fellows: Sidney Hillman and David Dubinsky...
...orders went out: head for home. Later, to the freighters Mormacsea at Trondheim and Flying Fish at Bergen, caught in the middle of the shooting, went welcome news; the U. S. State Department had notified belligerents it expected U. S. ships to get safe passage out of the newest segment of the President's combat zone.

To prevent a new war from being carried into the South German Basin or to the western end of the Baltic Plain the Nazis have built the Siegfried-or Limes-line. At its vital segment (between the Lorraine Gateway and Luxemburg) where the French might penetrate into the German concentration areas on the Rhine, this "line" is not a mere chain of forts, but a network organized in depth. A year ago the French might have crossed the Rhine; now the chances for carrying...
