Frogs Join Navy
 For Guam Voyage

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 21. - At least part of the mysterious naval maneuvers in the Pacific has been explained.
 It was revealed that a dozen pairs of Louisiana jumbo frogs had been consigned to the navy here, and would go to the island of Guam along with c o m m n r James T. Alexander, the new Gov ernor.
 It's part of the governments pro- gram of experimental agriculture and ani m a husbandry for the island, he explained

to Hitler during the famous blood purge" of June, 1884
 Nobody doubts Goering's per sonal courage. The many decora- tions won during the World war, climaxing in the highest German military honor available, testify to his daring as war ace. And when the famous Baron von Richthofen fell, Goering succeeded him as head of the Richthofen squadron.
 Has Hold on Army
 Loyal though Goering is to Hit Ter and the Nazi movement, he has not shown the narrowness of other leading Nazis in making appoint ments to office His ideal is to train an efficient corps of civil servants. and he has not hesitated to take men not identified with the Nazi movement to accomplish this pur- pose.
 Similarly, Goering did not hesi- tate to keep Leo Blech for four years to head the panel of conduc- tors at the state opera in Berlin, although Leo Blech is Jew. T determine who is to be rated as Jew Goering is reported to have said when some dogmatic party member tried to call him to ac- count.
 Goerings position as second man in the Reich is further rendered se- cure by his hold upon the army The army and the navy recognize that the modern air force is Goerings own creation. They also respect him for his war record.
 DisIikes Cities
 Goering has made hunting a pop ular sport in Germany It serves him politically too. At his "unof- ficial hunting parties, statesmen ship often has it's inning.
 The big city 'bores him. During the spring and fall, he governs from the Prussian state hunting lodge about g miles from Berlin. He spends most of the summer at his Bavarian mountain home not far from Hitler's ~Berghof."
 Enthusiastically he jumped viz crously into the task of making Germany as self sufficient economi- cally as possible within four years.
 Under his direction. Germany has started on the most gigantic scale 1 of economy on raw materials that any nation ever has undertaken in peace times.

Keystone Contest Bitter.
The campaign in Pennsylvania this
year Is about as bitter as any. The
Republicans are making all the capi-
tai they can out of the charges made
against Gov. Earle and others in his
administration by his former attor-
ney general, Margiotti Now that the
Supreme Court of the State has de-
clared unconstitutional the acts passed
by the Legislature at Earle's command
to halt grand jury probe of these
charges, 1t looks as If the Governor
had reached the limit OF his efforts
to avoid such an investigation. The
legislative committee, created also at
the command of Earle to make an
investigation of the charges, has been
at work for several weeks. The Re-
publicans call it the whitewash COM
mittee.
If reports from Philadelphia and
other parts of Pennsylvania are cor
rect the voters have turned away from
Earle and the New Deal administra-
ton in considerable numbers. Earle
Is running for Senator this year
against Senator James j. Davis, with
Z. l. 0. as we'll as Democratic back
ing. Today Earle, with the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor, Charles
Alvin Jones; Senator Guffey-the
party boss-and others on the ticket,
are visiting President Roosevelt at
Hyde Park to get his advice, presum-
ably about the conduct of the cam
paign.

mittee. II the Senate committee
would 60 into Pennsylvania and un-
dertake real inquiry with public
hearings 1t would be possible to sift
the truth or falsity Of the charges.
Out in Ohio a series of Joint de-
bates from the same platforms be-
tween Senator Bulkley, the Demo-
cratic candidate for the Senate, and
his Republican opponent, Robert Taft,
have been arranged. There are to be

both are extremely earnest. Bulkley
has gone along with the President
practically 100 per cent-including the
court bill and the reorganization bill.
Taft has no use for the New Deal.
He campaigned for nomination as an
anti-New Dealer. If Ohio swings to
the Republican column in November
there will be considerable significance
in the result. Equally, If Ohio re-
mains in the Democratic column, the
New Dealers will take great en-
,couragement therefrom.

and the fact that former importing
nations have tried, in manufacturing
and food supplies, to become largely
self-supporting under the new nation
alism tend to preclude in the future
any such swift development as placed
England in the van In the last century.
What the present situation offers us
is perhaps, at a minimum, 10 years in
which to set our own house in order
without the disturbing factors of war,
and to adjust our industry and agri-
culture to the new world conditions.
Doing what we can, for our own sake
and that Of others, to rebuild inter-
national trade, we can concentrate on
our serious domestic problems without
the economic, social and psychical
defiections due to war.
A Glorious Opportunity.
This is an opportunity which seemed
lost only few days ago. What we
make Of it, both in our domestic
policies and our efforts to restore
slowly larger degree of international
trade in whatever ways it can be built
up under the new conditions, will
depend upon ourselves.
What the European situation and
our own geographical position mean to
us is just that we may have that op-
portunity, and not any spectacular
change in population, industry, trade
or lessening Of unemployment.
A war will now probably not offer
us any chance Of selling vast quantities
Of goods at high prices, and the prom
ised peace will settle no problems but
merely give us q breathing space to
try to settle them in quiet.
War would probably have destroyed
our civilization. Now we have chance
to salvage what We can of the old
values which made that civilization
cherished by independent democracies,
and to readjust the social and eco
nomic machinery to permanently
altered conditions.
If we can solve our domestic prob
lens I believe that conditions in Europe
mean that the star Of destiny will shine
above the New and not the Old World
in the future, but not that they mean
any sudden or immediate shift In our
own economic world position.

Bv JAMES TRUSLOW ADAMS.

Author Of The Epic Of Ar Amerisa.. lea H,... "The
for the Associated Press.
You ask what the present European
situation holds for America in the
long run.
First, what is that situation?
War has been averted, probably for
a number of years unless something
unexpected occurs. But there remain
sore spots, ambitions, and 1919 boun-
daries that may yet have to be re-
drawn. The system of collective Sc
curity has broken down. Force or
the threat of it, regardless of treaties
and the Kellogg pact, has been sue
cessfully used.
The latest case, which brought us
to the very edge of world war, is
important from that respect rather
than from that Of the partial dis
memberment of Czechoslovakia, which
I thought, when at the Peace Confer
ence, was badly constructed and which
is only 19 years old. 1t was syn
thetically made and not historically
developed. Again Europe has reverted
to balance of powers, and the demo-
cratic and dictator states stand in
opposite camps. That all means con-
tinued tension if not war.
The United States, without the
threat of a major war in Europe, is
probably safe from war for 10 years
at least. The oceans are now to us
what the English Channel used to be
to England We have peaceful Canada
to the north and nations which could
not attack us to the south. What
does all this mean to us?
The Old Order Changeth.
Fifty years ago it would probably
have meant great internal exploit
tation Of half empty land, from i'm
migration, and an increase in our
world trade. Today the first will con-
tinue negligible in spite Of the great
numbers who want to come to us,
which means that our internal devel-
opment Of resources and business will
not have that stimulus. World trade
is not likely to expand with rapidity
for any nation, and no more for US
than others, even with uncertainty in
Europe and q more or less assured
certainty Of peace here.
