The percentage of support is 1888
and compares with the 61.15 majority that
the New Deal was accorded in a similar
poll in 1884

asmuch as the ballots were sent to the
same mailing list as in 1884, the poll shows
a tremendous decline in the support ac-
corded the Presidents policies by the peo-
pie receiving the ballots.
Just what this means, translated in
terms of the forthcoming election, is not
certain. The New Deal is not so popular
with business men, as it was, and they are
undoubtedly heavily polled in the ballots

notably radicals, who want more reform,
and conservatives, who want much less. If
one knew whether negative votes were cast

POWER OF OIL

1t is said that one of the reasons the
British and French governments tried to
patch up peace between Italy and Eth
opia was that they were convinced that the
be so harmful to the latter country that it
would risk attacking the British fleet in
the Mediterranean.
Italy has to import her oil supply. Not
to be able to secure oil would mean that
her Ethiopian campaign would be entirely
blocked. Ships, tanks, airplanes and sup
ply trucks all require gasoline and oil to
operate: Without the supply of this es-
sential liquid Italy would not be able to
carry on a warfare with modern nipple
ments.
Japan is very much in the same situa-
ton that Italy is. Her greatest military
weakness is the poor national supply of
oil. Not long ago the Japanese passed
law requiring all foreign companies doing
business to erect and store a years supply
without any expense. Japan must have
oil for her industry and her fleets.
The annual Japanese consumption is
around two million tons and one-half of
this is brought in from the United States.
Three countries could, if they desired to,
prevent Japan from securing this neces-
sary supply. The British could stop their
oil shipments and prevent imports from
the Dutch East Indies. If the United
States shut off the supply, the only other
country necessary would be Russia, which
is Japan's rival in Eastern Asia So,
should the United States and Great Britain
decide to oppose Japanese ambitions, an
oil embargo would follow.
Seeing the vital Importance of oil and
gasoline, it would seem that countries like
Italy and Japan would seek to develop
;ubstitute fuels, particularly. encouraging
the use of alcohol. AS long as they are
dependent upon imports of oil coalition
of the oil producing countries can control
their future.

A PLAN FOR OLD ACE

One of the results of the passage of
Federal Social Security Act has been the
awakening of interest on the part of some
large companies in the welfare of their en-
plOyees Some of these organizations have
announced plans to protect their employees
against the economic dangers the Social
Security Act seeks to eliminate.
The trouble with the initiative now
being shown by these corporations is that
it comes after government action has
forced it. From the standpoint of society
it is better for some nationwide plan to be
worked out than to have limited number
of employees who happen to work for such
corporations to be protected while the
great mass of workers remained unprO-
tected.
