Our Military Leaders See
Their Shadows

President Roosevelt did the right thing IN squeIch-
Ing those -overambitious army officers who had so
much to say about American war plans" in this
hemisphere.
An army ~strstegist is apt 10 say almost anything
OF course, and II would BE- foolish to attach too much
weight TO the whole affair. And vet II Is a timely
warning OF something that We usually fail 10 realize
the fact that militarism is a growth not confined to
Europe and Asia. after all We have our own share
OF II, and it's time We realized 10.
Consider, for instance. the ideas which Brig Gen.
=. M. Andrews. chief Of the new General Headquart-
es Air Force, spread before a congressional COM
mittee recently.
We must. said General Andrews, keep our eyes on
Newfoundland. the French islands Of st. Pierre and
MiQueIon. Bermuda. the Bahamas. Jamaica. Trinidad.
British Honduras and the lesser Honduras. ANY or
all these places would make dangerous enemy air
bases IN the event OF war: NC must keep them under
surveillance, be ready 70 bomb them II We find air
bases being developed on them. and be prepared 10
seize them BY main force II the situation Is suf-
ficiently vital t. require H."
Nor is that al. Other army officers urge congress
to establish a huge air base in the Great Lakes Dor
der. They admit that Canada probably Is not medi-
ditating war on the United States: but they point out
that II any hostile power" lodged iself in Canada.
IL would be within easy rading distance OF our great
industrial centers.
Nov all this is very little less than vicious. II rep
resehtS militarism In It's worst sense-the attitude Of
mind that sees everything in terms Of military euus-
ton and ignores All The supremacy important intan-
giblcs Of international relations.
one Of our greatest assets is the fact that We en-
JOY friendly relations with our neighbors The
Canadian border has gone unfortified for a century.
The average American no more expects trouble from
Newfoundland or Bermuda than he expects Pitts
burgh to attack Cincinnati.
But such facts mean nothing TO a miltarst. There
IS foreign soil at our doorstep; it must be the soil
Of an enemy; lot ms spend huge sums and lay elabor-
ate plans 10 repel attack. even IL It means replacing
international friendship with suspicion, fear, and
dislike.
President Roosevelt did the right thing in making
It clear that the vsporngs Of these officers in no
way represents official American opinion.

The role Of The innocent bystanders Is never .
pleasant one: and one Of the most unfortunate things
about industrial warfare Is the fact that innocent by
ISLANDERS almost invariably seem to outnum5er ac-
tual combatants.
Some 1900 men went out on strike at the Toledo
plant of Chevrolet Motor company not long ago.
This plant makes transmission gears for Chevrolet
automobiles. and is a key plant in all Chevrolet pro-
duction. When it was closed by the strike. con-
tinued production of cars became impossible.

ing bodies for Chevrolet. had to lose-and some 49,
900 men we're thrown out Of work. These men had
nothing whatever to do with the dispute in Toledo:
they we're simply innocent bystanders.

This is the time Of year when the polens begin to
be blown about by the wind and when those who are
sensitive to them begin to suffer with the sneezing,
coughing, and congestion that are significant Of hay
fever.
Long before We knew that the pollens we're re-
Sponsible there was some indication that hay fever
came at certain seasons and that II could Be avoided
by changing ones residence 10 an area in which
the pollens we're not prevalent.
For example, 1t has been pointed out that Daniel
Webster suffered from ragweed hayfever for 20 years
and did not have the symptoms in 1889, when he spent
the summer in Scotland.
II is known that the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher had
hay fever and obtained relief when he went TO the
Catskill mountains. As long ago as 1875 Judge Gary
mentioned the fact that ne used to get relief from
his hay fever in northern Michigan.
However. as people have Travelled about and as in
ercommunication has grown. certain areas which
used to have a fine reputation for being free from hay
fever have lost their distinction with the invasion OF
ragweed coming in the wake OF civilization.
a study has beer made Of the distribution OF rag
weed throughout the United States over a period Of
a good many years, and a system has been set up for
finding out how much ragveed pollen is present in the
air at various times.
Only the North Pacific coast states we're found to be
entirely free. Ragweeds and related hay fever plants
do not grow In that region, and the Cascades prevent
the pollens from being blown in from the intermoun-
tain region.
California and the southwest are not greatly troub-
led with ragveed. but a good many other polens that
bring about hay fever are to be found in that section
Florida suffers little from rsgveed pollen, but Flori-
da and California and the southwest are pretty warm
for summer resorts.
In Canada, Winnipeg and upper Saskatchewan are
found to be relatively free from pollen. Especially UNI
favorable pollen conditions are found in Denver, Salt
Lake City. and Landers. wyo, but the conditions in
these cities do not obtain for most Of the mountain
resorts In the same area.
II has been learned by recent Investigations that
prevailing winds make a great deal Of difference, be-
cause pollen is carried by them. Rainfall also Is Of
importance. because a sufficient amount Of rainfall
viii p~recipitste the pollens and lessen the symptoms.
