Statecraft Pace
Is Held Lagging

We're trying to run a 90-mile-an-h hour
economic system and q 20-mile-an-hour
political system at the same time. declares
Senator Joseph c. O'Mahoney Of Wyoming,
chairman of the National Economic Com
mittee, which is to try to find out what s
wrong with business There's no Govern.
ment board wise enough to tell business
men what to do, the Senator told Edwin
Baimer, who reports on the probe leader 5
views in Redbook Magazine.
Half the population Of Europe endures
under despotism. We were inclined to
think that there were fundamental differ
ences between Fascism and Communism;
We presumed they offered separate alter
natives to democracy, so that, if we were
obliged to abandon self government, we
could choose between a road to the left
and road to the right leading in differ
ent directions and to different destinations.
I'VE have learned better. The two
totalitarian destinations are alarmingly
alike; they are identical in denial to the
individual of any right which he may
assert and maintain against the state. We
have seen freedom Of speech and Of the
press and individual liberty vanish just
about as completely under one form of state
control as under the other.
Each dictatorship asserted the aeed OF
extraordinary concentration OF power be-
cause of economic emergency; and in both
Nazi and Soviet states, this personal power
increased until it crushed not only opposi-
ton but even criticism. The authority
of the dictator became virtually unlimited
such is the scene before US as we
increase the political control of our own
economic life and as we contemplate more
control. Last April, as everybody knows,
the President called into being National
Economic Committee to make a full and
complete study and investigation of
the concentration Of economic power and
many other vital matters.
THE President did not appoint the
chairman of that exceedingly important
committee, Joseph c. O'Mahoney. senior
Senator from Wyoming. He, with the
other senatorial members, was appointed
to the committee by Vice President Garner,
and he was elected chairman by the full
committee.
I'm Washington. he said to the writer:
We have a 90-mile-an-hour economic
system, but we are operating under a 20
mile-an-hour political system, not only
in the United States, but everywhere
throughout the world. We are living in
q new era, and we don't know it,
What would be the general nature Of
sO-mile-an- hour political system to keep
up with our 90-mile-an-hour economic
system? The chairman OF the National
Economic Committee has made himself
doubly definite on one point He has said:
There can be no misunderstanding of the
purpose Of this study. 1t is to maintain
private enterprise to preserve the profit
system and to protect the democratic form
of government. Here is no plan to estab-
lish big government at the expense Of our
traditional institutions. Here is only
plan to find the way whereby the combined
concentration Of economic power and
wealth can be prevented from destroying
both economic freedom and political
liberty"

effort to insure world peace IS not matter
of record
In 1927 when the Senate voted on a reso-
luton to arbitrate the United States heated
quarrel with Mexico over conflscated lands
and oil concessions rather than fight in
support of American investors. Senator
Pittman sided with the vast Senate ma
jority in support of peaceful settlement.
The last major issue in the field of for
eign affairs to come before the Senate was
the second London naval treaty, which was
ratified in 1886, although 1t was later
stultified, in effect, by denunciation of its
few effective clauses by both Great Britain
and the United States. No record vote was
cast on this futile agreement, but the For
eign Relations Committee reported it IA
vorably and Mr.. Pittman did not oppose it.
During the last year the Nevada Senator
has given prompt and strong support to
administration policy in the Far East,
where trouble with Japan has been threat
ened several times because of violation of
American treaty rights.
Thus he publicly backed President Roose-
velt's resistance to pressure groups who
insisted that the United States should in
woke the Neutrality Act in the Far East He
publicly stated that such action would en-
bitter American relations with the two
warning nations and increase the difficulty
of rescuing Americans from danger zones.
At the same time, he described as Cow
ardly" suggestions that the armed forces of
the United States be withdrawn from the
Orient.
In general, the chairman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee and the Sec
retary of State-old colleagues in Congress
work together in smooth coordination,
frequently telephoning each other for opin-
ions on questions Of the day. This is fortu-
nate in country where the best-laid plans
Of the State Department may be wrecked
by a recalcitrant Senate, as the tragic epic
of Wilson's peace efforts proved to the
world

much as the general who sits behind the
lines and directs ground battles.
That idea, which appears practically
certain to become an oficial order within
a short time. meets the distinct disap-
proval Of those officers concerned.
For instance,e it is known that Gen.
Arnold would object, and vigorously, too,
If it was suggested that he was not as
able pilot as when he won the Msckay
Trophy-when the Army bought its first
airplane years ago-for q short night over
Washington. He won that same trophy
more than 20 years later for leading q
mass flight of heavy bombing machines
from Washington to Alaska.
The flyers also point out that in an
attack or pursuit mission 1t would be
virtually impossible for a commander to
sit high up in the clouds and direct his
fellow pilots. The very law of comrade-
ship and decency, they add, would drive
the commander down to join In any such
mission. There is wide difference of
opinion, however, about risking the chief
Of the Air Corps, his assistant and other
high-ranking flying officers assigned to the
general staff.
But ir this confusion, the younger men
are elated that the Air Corps has at last
come into absolute possession Of men who
know flying, and who are young enough
yet to appreciate the problems that face
military aviators.
In the past, 1t was not unusual to have
at the head Of the Air Corps, officers who
had been grounded" men who had
learned to fly alone, but who were never
in the air unless with younger men Of the
boss" own choosing to pilot him.
But the day Of these "old fogies" Is
gone. One fact that adds to the elation
Of the younger officers is that the average
age of the ranking officers will drop in
the future. In time it will probably 60
as low as so years, maybe lower.
Gen. Malin Craig is given creditor Is
quietly discredited-with the idea Of
grounding the higher flying officers. But
he Is generally lauded for his effort TO
put younger men In control of flying.

man labor front see practical V.Mzstion
OF the "volksgemeiiscnaft" idea in that
the quarters Of the crew, who are quite as
the passengers, are not the miserable hunks
Of ordinary ocean vessels, but quite on q
par with the quarters for guests.
In the name of the "volksgemeinschaft
the average German citizen must take upon
himself all sorts of privations. He must
content himself with having almost no fruit
this summer, since the German product is
scant and foreign exchange is used for pur-
poses other than importing fruit.
He submits to having his bread. butter,
milk and meat rationed He takes it with
out grumbling if many an article Of daily
need which formerly came from abroad is
no longer to be had.
Does consciousness of "volksgemeinschaft
spell the complete abolition Of class dis
tinctions?
Theoretically, yes.
Nazism Becomes Nobility.
In practice, however a new class line
has been drawn: Membership in the Nazi
party OF one Oh It's SuDIOTIHAIlOIlS, ID a new
criterion for position, supplanting the older
one of nobility of birth, or ownership of
property or superiority of brain over Drawn.
In an apartment building the man in,
say, the black "SS' uniform is a privileged
character.
At school, the lad in the brown Hitler
Youth uniform deems himself just bit
better than the other boys.
A man who is not identified with the
NaA movement will, when in trouble. likely
as not invoke the aid of a uniformed
friend, because he feels instinctively that
this Naz, belonging to Germany's new
chosen people, is in a position to exert in
fiuence.
And when Nazis get together among
themselves, the difference of the lower
ranked member to the man with stars
and bars is anything but indicative Of
generals sleveling process.

Ne1o "Ddr babies" OF science, either
weapons or new rays of producing ,Dar
materials are in the making tew
have been born epen ,Dhile the recent
European crisis Uas brepino. They come
from laboratories on both sides OF the
Atlantic. Their stories, gathered from
laboratory reports, scientists and mill
tary men, are told here by Associated
Press science uriters.
Science, with magnetic guns on its war
future books and aif battles its present dark
horse, is about an even half of warfare It's
immediate, practical place is summarized
by military experts in Washington with this
declaration:
Nations which have spent the most
money on scientific research are the same
ones which are today best prepared to
either attack other nations or to resist
attack.
The magnetic gun idea comes from Eng
land from Capt J. B. S. Haldane, World
War artillery oficer, himself a famous
scientist and son of one of Britains great
est scientists. Capt. Haldane is professor
in the University of London.
Writing in the Journal Of the Royal
Service Institution. he says: Il think a
man 400 or 500 years hence would be
amazed at the curiously conservative char
acter of our weapons~
Unused Principles Await.
"He could be astonished that various
principles were not applied which, from his
without difficulty.
Il think it is highly probable that s
gun is by no means the ideal weapon for
launching projectiles; for one thing,
heavy gun wears out extraordinarily
quickly.
What alternative method would be bet
ter do not know; but it is highly prob
able some magnetic method would be more
satisfactory"
Capt. Haldane makes the guess that
it would take so years, after a magnetic
gun appeared, to bring it up to the point
of competing with other guns.
But he points to scientific history in
warfare to show that this Is not an
excessively slow tempo for the coming of
startling new things-mustard gas, which
the public thinks was new in the World
War, was first prepared in 1886.
Capt. Haldane holds the same opinion
as the American military experts that the
first and most important contribution of
science will be improvement of weapons
already known. such things as adding five
per cent to the speed Of a plane or eff
cheney Of gun-unspectacular but deadly
to ar enemy.
Although there is no magnetic gun. lab
oratores are bulging with other new things
realities almost as startling
Mile-a- Second Gun.
One is the cork-shaped gun. Germany
has been reported to have such a weapon,
but there is no confirmation. Its reputed
value is to shoot a shell with a muzzle
velocity of a mile second This speed is
nearly double the present muzzle velocity
Of any weapon.
However, although no military power
confirms the existence of the gun, its prin-
ciple was laid down to American engineers

Cupid on Air
Pianist and Pupil to
Marry Shortly

A common interest in piano
forte has blossomed into plans for
a wedding, it was learned today
when Glenn Carow. soloist with
the National Symphony Orchestra,
and Ruth w. Fulton, his pupil,
announced their intention to
marry at the end of this month.
Carow, who is %, lives at

remembered for his stepping into
the breach at Constitution Hall
last winter in the absence Of Fritz
Kreisler, the violinist, when the
latter was detained by a train
wreck.
Miss Fulton, 81, also is an &C.
complished pianist. She is the
daughter of Greed w. Fulton, me-
chanical engineer, and lives at

Expansion Aim

BATAVIA, April 7 G.N.s).
Japan is seeking to increase its
colonial interests in the Dutch
East Indies.
A japanese concern which has
been working small cotton plan
kation covering an area of 900 hec-
kareS has applied for permission
10 extend its plantation to cover
another 1000 hectares.
The Netherlands East Indies
government has sought to discour-
kge Japanese expansion on the
grounds that the land was not
suitable for cotton growing.
The japanese farmers have OBJ
bained such excellent results on
the 900 hectares that the Dutch
authorities now FIND it difficult
10 oppose expansion on those
grounds.
