4 Reuiew and Forecast


diplomats refused to bid their strong hands
in the hope of penalizing the bad, but rash,
card players. Mussolini and Hitler bluffed
Their bids were such it was not worth while
doubling them, and they got few points
Then, when they improved their hands and
their luck seemed to change. they bid their
full value and little more. Now, it is
they who hold the good cards and they
play them to the hilt. while the French and
the British continue their timid game.
Fear State Of Anarchy.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Hull, in discus
sions with prominent business men and
others have expressed the same thought:
Unless We can bring the world back to
respect of treaties and engagements We will
live in state of anarchy. The trend of
the totalitarian states is domination of the
world through the particular sectors where
they can exercise direct influence Their
unopposed victory will have irreparable
effects on our own economic life, as has
been shown already, and in the end we will
suffer the fate of the other democracies
which have so far displayed such lament
able weakness
While the Navy and private yards and
the airplane factories were working full
time to complete America s air and sea prep
arations the Chief Executive and the Sec
retary of State were making nebulous
speeches labeled by the rank and file as
pious expressions Of a powerless adminis-
tration. They aimed to educate the AM
erican public to the need for positive action
in line with Uncle Sans position in the
world. At the same time they hoped that
would do what the man in the street cannot
do with the same ease-that is, read be-
tween the lines of those pious and high
sounding words. It is doubtful this has
worked out
The international situation has grown
worse from year to year. In 1896 we had
the occupation of Ethiopia and the Spanish
war, in 1887 the campaign in China and in
1888 the Czechoslovakian crisis. The latter
appears to those on the inside to be fraught
with more potential dangers to the peace
of the world than the other summer
fevers"
The relations between the United States
and the totalitarian states can be described
at their best, as COOL Relations with the
Reich the ring leader, are definitely bad
Hardly week goes by but that the two
governments have a tiff of some sort over
more or less unimportant questions. And
both administrations display an adamantine
attitude in every difficulty which arises,
regardless of its triviality.
The administration here admits frankly
that our interest In the annexation of
Austria or in the possible conflict between
C7echoslovakia and Germany is necessarily
academic. But, they see in the rising
power and influence of Germany and Japan
q possible menace to the future welfare
of the American people. They follow with
keen interest the antics Of the Germans
and the Italians in Latin America and
have volumes of reports detailing the activi-
ties Of Hitler's and Mussolini's agents
throughout the southern continent.
The coming months are expected to be
full of drama. Mr.. Roosevelt will use
every ounce Of influence this country may
have abroad to avoid the outbreak Of .

His achievements on the campus include
reorganization Of the universitys educa-
tional system which resulted in the creation
Of the College of Arts and Sciences, Or
ganization of the first summer school,
raising the university annual appropriation
for maintenance from s68 900 to more than

ment at the university since DR.. Byrd has
been associated with it has increased from
130 to 5000.
Last year H. L. Mencken, who pulls no
punches when it comes to criticism, wrote
a series of articles for the Morning Sun
of Baltimore on the University Of Mary
land and apparently came under "Curly's"
magic spell.
The thing to do with a man Of such
talents" wrote Mr.. Mencken. "is not to
cuss him for doing his job we'll; it is much
wiser, SO long as hanging him is unlawful,
to give him a bigger and better one"
Having put the University Of Maryland
on the map and become its president,
Curly" Byrd apparently felt the lack of
a doctors degree Within 4 few months
he obtained an honorary Phi. D. from
Washington College, Chestertown, and
last summer obtained two more honorary
doctorates, in typical Byrd fashion, flying
from one college to another to receive them
on the same day. The donors were Dick
inson College, Carlyle Pa, and Western
Maryland.
But it is as Curly that he has held
the spotlight for many years and probably
will for many more. BY that name he is
known to high and low alike. Rumor has
1t that even when he called on the Presi-

real estate, sports writing activities, the
legislators found, were carried on at night
at the conclusion Of the universitys busi-
ness and in no way interferred with it.
Thus his reputation as a legislative
wizard. of being able to make the General
Assembly do the opposite of what it started
to do, increased. Among other things
brought out by the probe was that the
chairman of the investigating committee
was associated with another Maryland COL
lege. Two years after the investigation
DR.. Byrd was president of the university
and drawing $4,000 year salary.
Many times the legislature has failed to
appropriate as much as the university
asked. Its budget was cut along with all
other State departments in 1888. But in
many sessions the legislators at first intent
upon reducing the College Park budget,
have ended by increasing it.
In general, Dr. Byrd's formula for getting
results at Annapolis is to remind the law
makers that the work of the university
extended to the miners, oystermen, fisher
men. farmers, farm wives, poultry dealers,
livestock dealers and others. In effect, ne
tells the legislators that the university
itself is not asking for more funds but
that the miners, oystermen, fishermen,
farmers and so forth are asking the uni
versity for it.
His popularity among the legislators and
those whom the university serves is
paralleled by his popularity among the
faculty and students at the university.
There are critics in all groups, of course,
but it is noteworthy that when he was
acting president, the student newspaper
urged his appointment as preaident and

Russia has planes to send Authorities
declare that the Russian planes now in
use in China are as near a mass produc-
ton article, including a sectional construc-
ton for quick repair, as is possible to
achieve.
Against this Japan has an airplane pro-
ducton which, it is reported has been
stepped up to better than 300 a month,
with production Of parts being extended
into home labor as we'll as factories Japan
has the advantage OF naval aircraft car
riers Japan would have the advantage of
closer base organization and necessary
supplies
What of wartime aviation personnel?
The japanese army and naval air units
now have a year of experience back of
them. actual experience. There is no ques-
tfon. on the other hand, but what a good
number of Japan's best pilots have been
killed in the fighting so far.
Russian pilots are gaining similar ex-
perence. although not in like proportio
They are being sent into China for what
amounts to three month training periods
And they come, in the opinion of qualified
observers, with a background of training
which is entirely efficient.
Supply Set up a Question.
They know their business, these Russian
pilots" is the cryptic comment one hears
on all sides.
Is Russia prepared for war in the Far
East in the matter of communicated :?
Could military supplies be transferred
quickly and competently enough to COM
pensate for the distances involved?
1t is. in the main, an unanswerable ques-
ton, although it is popularity assumed
that the Soviets have arranged their Far
East military supply organization to permit
complete and immediate war on a large
scale
There is no question. in this connection,
but what Russian military supplies for
China involve an arduous and lengthy
transportation. To what extent Russia, in
a war with Japan in the near future. could
bolster and capitalize on the active Chinese
front is entirely debatable So, on the
other hand. is the question of what Japan
could do. even under the pressure of a
major war, to interfere with Russia's con-
tact with what remains of China
What it all SINNERS down to is that Rus
sia is by no means unprepared for Far
East eventualities.

the world and it is generally assumed that
Russia has not sent her best equipment
These enormous bombers can operate at
30 600 feet or more They can maneuver
high above the range of antI-aircraft guns
and high above the possible altitude OF the
average pursuit plane. They can carry a
really tremendous weight in bombs
In the words of one expert there is no
reason why they could not float above
Japan for hours without any particular
danger"
With such planes as these, it is assumed.
Russia would strike at Toxic and other
japanese cities from the air
Attacks could originate from around
Vladivostok say, and the distance is under
500 miles. And once over Japan such
planes could drop high explosive and in
cendiary bombs which. it is pointed out,
would create terrific havoc In her densely-
populated urban centers, and in the f1lnsy
construction of residential sectors Japan
is judged highly vulnerable to Air raids :;

cheney. But in any competition in ter
roriStic urban bombing the Russians would
seem to have the advantage if war develops
Soviet planes can travel 900 miles and
reach any number of highly populated
japanese cities. The Nipponese could reach
Vladivostok Beyond that the number of
important Soviet cities in the Far East are
few and far between
How easily Japan can be reached with
modern long distance planes was demon
strated not long ago when Chinese planes
hovered over South Japan for several hours
and escaped Cleanly.
Big Factor in Land Fighting.
In land fighting between Russia and
Japan, the exact course and direction of

plane would have its full measure of i'm
portance and activity.
In addition TO direct bombing of military
positions and airdromeS the transport of
troops and supplies by airplane would be

would be involved.

is seized and attacked on dark street
We wonder what is the matter with the
police The trouble is not with the police,
but with ourselves. We are deliberately
turning out these felons upon the street
No police force can reasonably be expected
to hold them in check
In the last analysis it all comes down
to the proposition that our method of
dealing with hardened criminals is made
quate. We make the erroneous assumption
that to give them a sentence of a few
years will solve the problem. It does not
solve it, At the end of the sentence the
criminal will be released What is our
program then?
Some day people will awake to the fact
that rehaollltation is more important than
incarceration and that the indeterminate
sentence Is better than the fixed term,
No judge is able to tell when he imposes
sentence how soon the prisoner will be fit
to return to society. That depends upon
his reaction to the processes of rehabili-
tation. In our modern prisons, including
the one at Lorton, great aetrides are being
made in the classification and in the re-
habilitation of prisoners That is con-
structive work, and it definitely lessons the
danger. But it does not solve the problem
OF the hardened criminal who refuses to
be reha habilitated, who is still determined to
prey upon society, who is dangerous from
every point of view, and whom we are
cordially inviting to come back and asso-
ciate with us. The crime problem will
never be solved until this fundamental
error y corrected.

Judge Brady NJ. Stewart of Kentucky, wrote
President Roosevelt:

zenly operating on political basis"
The Roosevelt administration, Mr.. Dyer says, has
done nothing to investigate any of these serious
charges of political activities within the WPA.
On the contrary, the chief of the spenders, Har-

be aware of some conditions which ought to OBJ
