tests about determinations
against American citizens on ac-
count of race and creed. There
is little likelihood that this ques-
ton will be permanently settled
and the inevitable consequence
is the slow accumulation of hos
tile feeling toward the Nazi re-
gime in the United States. This,
in itself, may not be dangerous
but, in the event of a war in Eu-
rope, may have tremendous sig
nificance.

The people of these three ma
tons are completely controlled
by war-worshipping govern
ments Their leaders boast of
their strength in battle and each
government has given the world
definite proof CT a willingness to
use force in pursuit of aggressive
plans. There is, so far as we can
see, no reason to doubt that they
will plunge the world into its
most mammoth war rather than
give up the strategical position
that now encourages them to
blackmail other powers into max
ing concessions in the hope of
peace.

a few months. Last summer, Mr..
Kennedy predicted there would
be no war in Europe this year,
but he is decidedly pessimistic as
to the future. Outspoken in his
condemnation of Jewish persecu-
ton in Germany, which he calls
"the most terrible thing I have
ever heard of" Mr.. Kennedy
said that the situation in Europe
is fast moving, despite the
Munich accord, and it is not for
the better.

Great Britain, France and Rus
STA are feverishly preparing for
battle. AT the same time, Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain is
trying to avert the struggle by
persuading the aggressors that
what they can get by being
good is so close to what they can
gain by fighting that a world war
would not only be foolish and un-
necessary but actually unprofit-
able, The success of the Cham
berlain policy of ransoming peace

appetite and increasing greed of
the dictators.

| The Ambassador is not unduly
pessimistic. Any careful scan
ming of the international horizon,
as 1889 begins, discloses some
alarming portents. Germany,
Italy and Japan are on the
march, with a complete agree
ment as to the spoils and plumber
awaiting their successful ag-
erosion. Germany looks to the
East, to the Ukraine and Russia.
Italy aspires to the complete
domination of the Mediterranean
and the surrounding lands. Japan
reaches for supremacy in the
Far East, the exploitation of
China and the eventual humilia-
ton of Russia. Except for a pos
sible clash of interests in the
Balkans where German and Ital-
ian ambitions conflict, the ALI
ance is air-tight, firmly bound by
the community of interests shared
among free-booters who have
their prey distinctly marked.

The United States government

The United States government
unless there is unlooked-for
opposition in the forthcoming
Congress-has started to fight
the dictator nations with their
own weapons of government-sub-
sidized trade and financial cred
its to needy friendly nations.
That, in the view of political
experts, is the only deduction that
can be made from two remark
able events which occurred dur
ing the week ending December
18th.
Federal Money For Trade
First, in a cautiously Worded
announcement, Secretary Nor
genthau said that the Treasury
was studying a plan to use Fed
eral funds to help finance trade
with South America. Coming on
the heels of the Lima conference,
in which the American delegates
tried, with moderate success, to
cement cracked Pan-American
relations, the meaning of this is
apparent. We have been stead
lily losing ground in South Amer
. lea. Germany, with her blocked
mark barter system, has been
steadily gaining, as has Italy to
a lesser degree. With foreign
trade in it's present state of dol
drums, private capital is not in
any position to fight trade war
in which the enemy" has behind
it the resources of powerful
government. Therefore, it is ar
gued, this government must help
American business in a way very
similar to the way the Fascist
and Nazi governments help their
businesses.
Credit To China
Second, there was announced
an extremely complicated plan
which will give the hard-pressed
f. Chinese national government a
stable U. S. Treasury credit. AS
Washington correspondents Alsop
and Kintner write, THE highly
involved from of the Chinese
credit all but obscures the vital
fact that it will bring desperately
needed supplies to the tattered
armies of Chang Kai-Shek. But,
however complex the method,
supplying the Chinese patriots is
an assault on the invading JAP
aneSe".
