President Roosevelt let it be known that he is
having made a detailed survey of national defense
problems with view to making the country more
secure against war.
After all that has been happening in Europe he
would be remiss if he did not take some such step
For weeks Germany kept the world lettering the
edge of war, and it only avered at the price of
the dismemberment of Czechoslovaka and the humili
alton of Great Britain and France the effect of which
no man today can foresee.
AS long peace-loving Britain and France re-
manned stronger than strong as, Germany there

There is no panacea for peace, but relatively
strong national defense is the best available insurance
against humiliation Within the last year
that has been pretty conclusivey demonstrated
Whether we like it not, there exist today certain
actual and potential outlaw states ready and prepared
to take what they can from their weaker neighbors

Finally, if we want arms limitation and reduction,
our influence in that direction will vary in direct pro-
portion to our power. If China suggest dis
armament today she would be laughed at, yet she is

zens of the United States some S. 500 900 000-or
ee-fourths-is being risked in Canada Newfound-
land and the Latin nations below the Rio Cirande.
5-Intra- American trade is on the upgrade and
going down steadily. Canada and the United States

each year We are shipping close to 100000 900

To strengthen those elements of friendship the
United States is offering new fast passenger and

NEW L. S. ORNAMENTS

The central but unspoken theme of all the arma-
ment talk in high places through the Americas today
is nothing more nor less than a streamlined Monroe
doctrine
That means a Monroe doctrine operated by and
for the doctrined-a western hemisphere set apart
with NO Trespassng" sign tackled all shores
jointly by the United States the Latin American
nations and Canada
Such 1893 model of the Monroe doctrine is
far cry from The popular idea long held in Latin
America that Uncle Sam is big bully of fellow
a self-apponted policeman who goes around clubbing
little nations.
Beginning with the postwar Coolidge term such
tactics became thing of the past Hoover followed
. The promising Coolidge pattern and Roosevelt has
carried it step further with his good neighbor"
policy.
Meanwhile Latin Americas language and cultural
ties with Europe continued to dominate cultural life
of the Latin American nations German and Italian
political ideas particularly welded important in
fluence.
But all along, there has been growing tendency
to regard The United States in friendly light.
Brazil especially has gone of the way to align her
foreign policy with Americas.
Experts say that Disappointing trade arrange
ments with Germany and distrust of the European
political balances have been mounting in South AM
ana I1at cuZSnS OF tfoSe countries growing
more and more Democratic in their political ideas
The experts feel that the deciding factor in Ameri
cas- favor did not develop until the peace of Munich
was signed 1t then became obvious that European
nations had merely provided breather to give them
selves time to complete their fabulous ornaments
programs.
If small nation needed a powerful friend
it needs And in the United States. as the
experts here it. Latin American nations have one
friend with design on their territory
II was natural. therefore, that President Roose-
velts recent talk of revising defense plans should
be interpreted to mean that planning navy
and army capable OF defending the whole western
hemisphere
That would in their view also explain his reas-
surance to Canada that the United States would not
stand idly by if she attacked

Agree With View.
In the Alabama case the District
Court here had ruled that the COM
pany had standing to file the suit, but
dismissed Its action on the ground
that the relevant sections of the P.
w. A. Act were constitutional.
This view was modified by the Dis
trict Court Of Appeals, and of that
action Justice Sutherland said:
"On appeal to the United States
Court of Appeals for the District of
Columbia that court found it unnec-
essary to consider the validity of the
loans and grants, and affirmed the
DEGREES of the District Court dis
missing the bill on the ground that
no legal or equitable right of the
power company had been invaded, and
the company, therefore, was without
standing to challenge the validity of
the administrators acts. With that
view We agree, and confine our con-
sideration of the cases accordingly"
The Duke case reached the Supreme
Court last year, but was sent back to
the lower court for correction of pro-
cedural errors.
In another decision today, the
Supreme Court directed the Southern
Indiana Federal District Court to con-
slider anew whether a rate schedule
prescribed by the Indiana Public Serv-
ice Commission for the Indianapolis
Water Co. should be revised to take
into consideration the upward trend
in prices during recent years.
Chief Justice Hughes read the
