Bat while Congress itself-has. not been legislating, many of tbe Con. gresaional committees have been do. ing some very important work, For instance, during the past two week* the Military Affairs Committee of the House has been meeting daily in con nectfon with its investigation, of the ’’ progress of the national defense jpiro- . gram. The Appropriations Committee ■has also been meeting regularly; while the Ways and Means Committee has *, been, actively engaged, in studying methods of raising much needed addi tioqal revenues, . lltlMtltMMW U m iltllllllM illlflllltlll S' ' Fittings "for § i , Hand and § ill purposes, § Is, Plumbing | : lett j . 2 c o w j IO ' | ’imuuniiiiiiittiiiuiMiM As thin is written the' strike situa tifln still holds the attention of the nation. The settlement of the Allis- Chalmers strike last week was a most hopeful sign and it is believed that the coal strike will soon he settled. I t is rumored here that the President will, within the next few days, and prob­ ably bfefOre>this appears in print, take -'drastic action to Clear up,the labor disturbances that have been endanger­ ing the entire defense program. Public opinion is definitely against the strik­ ers and .demands for the prompt set­ tlement of the various labor troubles are flooding into official Washington from all sections of the'cquntry . ork! IM : <hg D Y fction* __-X-.,*nc T f " Recent Germaii victories in the Bal kans, following the attack on Jugo-, slavia and Greece, have npt come as surprises to most of"the -military, ex­ perts. in Washington.' The ,Jugo- slavakian army is made up of brave men but tliey Were not equipped with the necessary weapons to cope with '' modern mechanized warfare. Trained by French'Army officers, the Jugo- • slays,- like the French Army; ..found ' tbut coutage alone is not sufficient to 'Stop the -German Panzer units. Some of the ,repept British defeats in Lybin and Northern Africa did come; how- . -can observers, W h ile,it Was known .that many of the seasoned British vet-' ‘orane in' Lybia had been withdrawn for use in tbe .Balkan campaign, it seemingly was not known here that tbe .Germans had, transported’so many mechanized'troops into Africa. Just how Soon the tong delayed and often promised invasion attem p t1against V England will be. made is still proble- matic^^B^this is written there is a well defined rumor going the rounds of Washington that th e attempt to invade, England may come Easter Monday—or before this column ap­ pears in print. On the other hand such a rumor may be simply another move in the so-called “war of nerves." At ’ any rate, the English are on the alert and are confident that any ^invasion attempt can and will be defeated. Military observers here believe that the Odds are aboutteven—or fifty-fifty --a s to whether qn invasion attempt can be successful, -V o t m & m f a i d * yon m themI a g e ctt*uriM««to*i DAY, APR. 18. 1841 PRICE, fUO A Y B m _ dw o r c e s I jit s .
