Dominant Nation Lacking
Chaotic Condition of World Held Outgrowth of
Wars Toll Britans Strength

At that moment. after the end of
the Great War, the United States
could have become the dominant ma
ton. In the order of nature, We
should have stepped into Britain's va
Gated dominance. We were by far
the worlds richest and most power
ful nation. By analogy to what had
happened in past eras, We should have
become the most important mercantile
nation, put the dollar in place of the
pound in international trade. We
should have built the largest navy,
and accepted the role that fate thrust
toward us. But America did not care
for the role. With manner of jitters,
OF nervously wringing our hands, we
declined the responsibility.
When we shrank from the role of
dominance, other nations made ges-
lures toward it. Russia planned
dominance not only in the old sense,
but in the sense of imposing a new
theory of society on the world. Adopt
ing communism, she sent agents and
propagandists and money into prac-
tically every nation. In her attempt
to set up a new dominance of COM
munism, she was resisted and checked.
In Italy, after the attempt at COM
munism had brought chaos, Musso-
lini set up another new conception
OF society called fascism.
Soon fascism started out to domi-
nate the world. In one form or an
other it reigns now in Germany. Italy.
Japan and some smaller nations. In
Spain there is civil war between COM
munism and fascism. And apparently
the same condition is ahead in the
world as whole, a world wide con-
fiict between Fascist nations and
Communist ones.
Meanwhile Woodrow Wilson pro-
posed great change. He said there
must no longer be any one dominat
ing nation. Order in the world must
be preserved, not by any one nation
but by all the nations united into a
League of Nations. Instead of. SO to
speak, international individualism
Wilson proposed international COL
lectivism. The international collec-
tivism has not worked. Neither the
League of Nations nor any of the
other many attempts at collective
action has preserved order. On the
contrary, the world has deteriorated
farther and farther toward chaos, in
which Communist adventures and
Fascist adventurers struggle for DOM
nance.

OF such intolerant attitude as to join

have such an issue explored to its
utmost. If the revelations are wrong,
then Mr.. Black can easily disprove
them by frank statement. If they
are right, his moral eligibility to re-
main on the Supreme Court becomes
an open question. Likewise, if Mr..
Roosevelt plans to make the enlarge

next year, he will find himself con-
fronted with barrage of inquiries
from racial groups as to whether he
wants six more justices in order to

that now submits to flouting when a

Not only did Britain protect her own
citizens abroad. To a measurable ex-
tent she and her navy and her other
elements Of strength were source
of order for most of the world She
suppressed piracy everywhere, checked
belligerent nations, composed differ
ences between nations, subdued law
less uprisings. She was at once the
worlds leading citizen, its judge and
its policeman. In the world as it was
when Britain dominated it, hardly
would Italy or Germany or Japan or
Russia have attempted what they are
doing now. Against the Britain of the
golden age, up to 1914, any nation
would have thought twice before at
tempting such breach of world order.
Pound Universally Accepted.
Not only did Britain have the
strongest navy. She possessed the
largest number of merchant ships.
She laid down the lanes of commerce
on the seas, and with her navy pro-
tected them. She provided the world
with most of its international trade.
She supplied the unit of currency, the
pound or the gold sovereign, in which
most international transactions were

Britain had this position Of domi--
nance. And because some one ma
tion--any nation-was dominant, the
world had measure OF equilibrium.
At all times the mere fact of the ex-
istence of one dominating nation tends
to give the world balance, poise, a
status. 1t may be good status or
bad one, but it is a status. Rela-
lively, things stay fixed.

New Deal Switches Trade Stimulus
FromDurables To Small Man, Needs

WASHINGTON, April 3. (UP),
President Roosevelt yesterday an.
nounced drastic changes in New
Deal recovery and relief spending
in an attempt to put the so-called
little fellow on an economic PAL
with big business and at the same
time curb unhealthy aspects OF
the current industrial boom.
For the coming year, the. presi-
dent said at his press conference,
government expenditures will be
aimed at encouraging the light
Consumers goods" industries in
stead of the booming durable
goods business such as steel, cop
per and cement. This, he said,
will shift emphasis from public
works projects such as steel
bridges and concrete dams to
projects from which the small pro.
Queer and the relief worker will
reap the most benefit.
Mr.. Roosevelt outlined the new
policy in response to a question
about the public works admins
tration which is due to expire
June 80 unless reauthorized. He
said he favors a two-year extern
sion limiting PWA expenditures
to S15O,000,000 already available
