London Times which, of course, people over here still regard as the
bailiwick of Toryism, and as I remember it, I have filed it away, the
editorial ran something like this: That we in England are somewhat
surprised, somewhat amazed at the resistance, the objections being
offered by certain elements in American industry to Article 7-A, which
reads as follows -- and then it quoted Article 7-A which, as you know,
is very short. Then it goes on to say, "Our surprise is based on the
fact, which every Englishman knows, that its principle has been accepted
in England since" -- when was the general strike?
Q 1926.
THE PRESIDENT: " -- since 1926, and the acceptance of the principles of
7-A since that time has prevented any serious labor difficulties in
the British Isles, and therefore, perhaps, it is interesting to note
that conservative old England has been for so many years several steps
ahead of so-called radical young America in its dealing with social
problems and labor problems." I wish you (addressing Lord Illiffe,
who was attending the Press Conference) could talk to these good
people and tell them something about how you have worked out some of
your labor problems, except that you are just about three jumps ahead
of us.
LORD ILLIFFE: (Joint owner of the London Telegraph and other papers) of
course, labor has had its experiences in England for a very much longer
time than it has in the United States, has it not?
THE PRESIDENT: Taking it by and large, yes.
LORD ILLIFFE: We have a responsible union system now but, as you know,
we have had very considerable troubles. But I think the same thing
is going to apply to the United States. You have unions here that
