Gen. johnson Says

NEW YORK. Jan. 17-Just as the munitions COM
mlttee is uncovering some of the official COR
respondence OF the anxious months when America
tried to stay neutral with almost the whole world at
war, the fifth of Ray Stannard Bakers volumes ON
woodrow Wilson reaches the book counters It's
title is Neutrality"
lntlmatlons in the book are like intimations in
the commlttee-that we engineered into war
Mr. Baker had monopoly of access to the papers
OF the War President He is very free with comment
ana the impression get from his asdes is like this:
That Wilson was, at heart, pro-Britsh: that he
was unconsciously dramatzing himself in the role
OF prince OF new era of perpetual peace; that the
pressure, first, of big interests who wanted to make
money in the munitions trade and later of big
fnanciers who wanted to save their investments in
the Allied cause, coupled with Wilson's private bias
eventually drew this country into the tragedy of
the World War.
The only suggestion I find of how it might
have been avoided is that could have cracked
down on England for the freedom of the seas Maybe
we could, but We would have been in the war just
the same-on the other side and with possible re-
suits quite as terrible as all we have suffered.
What earthly good is served by this conjectural
search for malign motives? It was glorious period
in which men of all parties, and faiths for little
while forgot themselves and gave their efforts to the
common good. All who lived closely to those leaders
know that, however some may have been mistaken,
none was pursuing private purpose.

JAMES HANLEY discusses the tangled heart af-
y fairs of a little group from the Liverpool slums
in his new novel, "Stoker Bush;" and he tells his
story with the same vivid and passionate earnesness
that made THE Furys' such a deservedly popular
book last year.
In telling his story, Mr. Hanley has done rather
remarkable thing.
He has taken theme which modern novelists
have worn absolutely threadbare-the good old tri-
angle, on which authors have been ringing the
changes for whole literary generation-and made
1t sound new and fresh.
You see the figures in this triangle not as thought

mess, but as earnest and intense human beings who

Washington Merry-Go-Round
by DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN

VXTASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Con-
w fidential reports received by
the State Department from Italy
indicate a much more desperate
condition than has leaked out
through censored press dispatches.
Not only have Italian troops in
East Africa been defeated, but
there has been increasing restless
ness at home. Strikes. have oc-
CURED in several italian munitions
plants. There has been disaffec-
ton among the Alpine troops,
pride of the Italian army, with
the result that some of them are
being transferred to the Ethiopian
front.
Finally, an underground Com
munist organization is reported to
be gaining ground throughout
Italy. Is
All of these situations have con-
tributed to secret Franco Brit
iSh plan to intervene with a new
peace plan to save Italy.
While they dislike and distrust
Mussolini, the French and British
can not afford to have him crack
up. This especially is the view of
the French. Mussolini, as a check
mate against Hitier's Austrian
ambitions, is worth far more to
the French than any altruism in
Ethiopia.
The new peace plan will not go
as far as the Hoare-Lava1 agree
ment. Also the French and Brit
ish, this time, will try first to get
the official stamp of the League.
1t will be put forward as League
plan.
What the British frankly fear is
that Mussolini, facing defeat in
East Africa, will try to save face
by persuading his people that they
are being attacked by Europe, and
become the mad dog of the Medi-
terranean. This would precipitate
general war.

I'm not superstitious," says
Main, "but I'm something of
fatalist. If fate has ordained that

worry about it? There is a destiny
that shapes our ends, rough hew
them though we may"
But Main is not disturbed. He
says it helps to be a fatalist. He
smiles from round, dimpled face,
and exudes the optimism of a
man who has been a Presbyterian
elder, a Kiwanis president, and a.

The fact is, however, that Main

to try to pass on the left So a showdown over the
situation created by the courts veto of AAA will
be deferred
That is the real meaning behind the Adminstra-
ton decision to try to get around the AAA veto by
amending the almost forgotten conservation legis-
lation.
THE picture is this: Some have urged Mr.. Roose-
J. welt TO throw up his hands. say that the court
has put him in strait-j Jacket and do nothing until
the Constitution Is broadened or the Courts power
curbed, The theory is that a do-nothing
would aggravate public demand for fundamental
ton of some kind to place in the governments hands
power to deal with agriculture as national prob
lem
Others are not so anxious to face the issue-yet.
They believe the government should exhaust every
possibility of action under the recent decision be-
fore admitting helpleSsness expecting that if the
situation is allowed to simmer, subsequent hostile
decisions will increase public pressure for forcing
the issue Also in their minds is the thought that
in time there will be vacancies on the court.
These persons have won Mr. Roosevelt over. He
says he must view agriculture as national problem
and he is going about his business pending another
breakdown by the oracles.
DOLITICAL parade:
i War veterans are being circularized by friends
of Col Knox with the argument that his nomina-
ton would give voters of the present generation their
first chance to support veteran of the last two wars
Spanish and World =.
Senator Couzens, Independent Republican is still
running away from Michigan Democrats who want
to give him their senatorial nomination this year.
They revived the idea when Administration
Democrat visited the state few days ago. But
Senator CouzenS wants to run as Republican. If
the Democrats also nominate him, he will, under
the Michigan law, be compelled formally to de-
cline. He doesn't want to do that either
Democratic Rep. Young of Ohio says he won't
run for Governor because Speaker Byrns has writ
ten that he is badly needed in the House If Young
thought he had chance to bump Governor Davey
out of the nomination. he probably could persuade
Byrrs TO release him -.
Administration leaders feel better since the tin
went around that AL Sriith will go easy on President
Roosevelt at the Lissrty League dinner next week
and viii concentrate on New Deal policies rather
than personalities. They feel they can answer his
arguments. But they don't want him to ridicule
Franklin Roosevelt as he did cousin Teddy in New
York few years ago ~.

about it that they decided Osiris
should rule. And he did.
VX7HEN Osiris was born, Plu-
Wv tarch says, "a voice pro-
claimed that the Lord of all
things had come to earth"
Osiris married Isis, who was
beautiful and helped him keep
house. She grew, reaped and
ground grains and kneaded the
flour into dough and baked
bread. He grew grapes and made
wine, and, where grapes were not
available, showed the mortals how
to make fernented barley drink
that in these days we'd call beer.
The mortals learned how to eat
other things than themselves and
they gave up cannibalism with
such alacrity that over nearly the
whole surface of the earth there
since has been a decided preju-
dice against people eating other
people.
Everything went well, except
that Seth Typhon, Osiris brother,
who was evil, was jealous, not to
mention impious, and he made a
chest out of wood the exact di-
mansions of Osiris. Then he took
this to the palace and made a
game of it. Whoever fit the box
exactly, could have it.
OSIRIS finally got into it, and
~ Seth pounced on it, and he
and his followers sealed it shut
with moulten lead. Then they
threw it in the Nile.
In these days, if this had hap
pened, the first news of it to get
in writing to the outside world
would have been IN the form of q
police report that would have read
something like this:
Dear Sergeant:
1--WE were called to the Royal
Palace last night and found that
some men locked the king in a
wooden box and threw the same in
the river. The men would not
give their names and said they
would get us fired if we arrested
them"
But no such thing happened
then. Isis, the wife, didn't even
know what had happened until it
was past time for his arrival home.
When she was told she cut off
all her hair and, according to
Plutarch, ran hither and thither.
Then she learned that the box

Wallace Pleased

N1OW that the plan of revamp-
IN ing the AAA is completed,
Henry Wallace is almost of the
opinion that the overhauling may
have done some good after all.
Reason is that when Mr.. WAL
lace first became Secretary of
Agriculture, one thing he wanted
to accomplish was an all-embrac-
ing system of soil conservation,
whereby the government could
help rebuild the land on every
mans farm.
However, even in the days of
the Brain Trust, this was con-
sidered too idealistic and vision
airy. It was marked down as
something to aim at within the
next few years.
But now, under the revamped
.AAA, this goal virtually has been
attained. It's provision whereby a
farmer sets aside a certain acre
age each year also gives the gov
eminent the right to tell him how
it shall be planted-in legumeS,
grass, etc., according to chemical
analysis of the soil.
This. is virtually what Mr.. WAL
lace originally wanted.
