Although U. S.-British sympathies

tied by selling arms to more pros

activity continued undated until
last June IL, when Secretary Of

rious blow to u. S. prestige when
Japan, having conquered Shanghai,
Canton, Hankow and Marking, pro-
ceeded systematically to shut Chi
mas "open door" in violation of the
nine-power treaty. Obviously, U. S.
British supremacy in the Orient was

Congress Won't Vote Money
Just to Please the President

From present indications, I be-
lieve it may be said that Mr.. Roose-
welt will get money out of the cur
rent session of congress only when
the congress decides it desires to
vote money. 1t will not vote money
Just because the President says
money shall be voted. Further, it
appears certain that there will be
no more "blank check" appropria-
tons. The end has come for that
sort of thing. Hereafter, one may
expect that congress will have its
say as to what is done with the
money, where and how it win be
spent. In other words, there is such
intense hatred Of Professional Re
lever Harry Hopkins that the bulk
of the congressional membership is
awaiting an opportunity to clip
Harry's wings as the worlds great
est spender. And it might be added
just here, too, that there are GER

This national defense program

talked with officials, with students

Last winter Texas Rep. Wright

to tax chain stores out of existence.
Its gist: To levy graded assessments
from $50 per store on small chains
to $1,000 per store on large chains,
each store tax to be multiplied by
the number Of states in which the
chain operated. Sample: A chain
operating in as states plus the Dis
trict of Columbia would pay $49, 900
per store annually on each store
over 500.
Though boasting 70 co-sponsors,
Mr.. Patman's bill failed. Also de-
feated was a New York state chain
store tax, which signified that chains
had more friends than their foes had
expected. But an apparently dying
issue was revived as congress ad-
journed, for Mr.. Patman announced
his bill would be introduced in jan

Rynl07lia
OF all the lesser European nations
subjected to Nazi Germany's polit-
ical-economic pressure, Rumania
has alone stood up on its feet and
barked back. Reason: Rumania
has been able to buy her imports
anywhere she desires, but Germany
must have Rumanian wheat and oil.
Until last fall this upper hand
served King Carol well, but the
ring of Nazi-dominated nations
around Bucharest has now grown
SO powerful that he must bow to
Berlin or risk economic starvation.
Thus Rumania watched anxiously
as German aggression in Austria
and Czechoslovakia threatened to
wipe out her prospecting trade with
those two nations. Since most of
Rumania's Czech imports came
from Sudetenland, now a part of
Germany, the Reich gained an enor-
NOUS advantage through this ter
ritorial acquisition.
To woo Rumania successfully,
Germany must only meet the dila-
tory competition of Great Britain,
whose promise to buy part Of King
Carols wheat surplus is overshad-
owed by a German offer to buy all
Of it. Thus heartened, Rumania
has signed a trade agreement
whereby the Reich will take almost
third of its exports, meanwhile
buying half its imports from Berlin.

Big Navy Helps to Keep
FOREIGN Statesmen Rational

It looks like a tremendous waste
of money, because hundreds upon
hundreds of millions will be spent
for ships, for aircraft, for fortifica-
tions. I always have felt that
big navy-the mere presence of it
helped keep some greedy and ag-
gressive foreign statesmen in their
right senses. The change in war
methods that has come about from
development of the airplane re-
quires that our air force be
strengthened. ALI of these things
must be considered. But if they
were not to be considered, I have
two other reasons for believing the
President is on the right track. I
witnessed the terrific waste in the
attempt to build a war machine in
1917 and 1918. If it is built up ac-
cording to plans, without haste, by
people who know their business, we
will at least get something for our
money-which we didn't in 1917.
Those who have ever visited the
James river in Virginia surely will
agree with that statement after they
have seen several thousand boats,
built for war purposes, rotting to
the waters edge without ever hav-
!, ing been used.
The second reason to be men,
toned is that expenditure of money
for this type of construction is GO
ing to mean jobs. It will take many
people off Of relief. Again, surely
it is worth more to have something
substantial built than to have strong
men raking up leaves or building
privies.
Before the debate on the defense
program is over, of course, there
will be charges that Mr.. Roosevelt
has set up hobgoblin of fear. He
will be charged with having pro-
posed the defense program to dis
tract attention from his failure to
help business out Of it's slump.
There is some truth in that. But
there is truth in the reports that we
are not protected, as a nation, and
that our army and our navy would
be like a terrier fighting a police
dog if we should have to mix it with
any foreign power.
