Japan, which now, burdened un-

naval building race, was the first
to violate the previous naval

partment's attitude is simply an
indication of the difficulties of
carrying on diplomacy in a world
where the old values have been
so largely destroyed.
One by-product of this is
Secretary Hull's policy of eau
ton. Officially, we have not yet
recognized Italy's conquest of
Ably ssinia, nor Germany'S sudden
seizure of Austria. We have
made protests against these acts
but mostly in yelled and in
direct terms. Our fear of for
eign entanglementS has made it
impossible for us to take the lead
or even a prominent part in
seeking to curb the ravageS and
injustices of the dictators. Yet
no one thinks that the feeling of
this country is a neutral one
American sentiment against the
dictators is almost 100 per cent
strong. Judging by what evil
dence there is, the majority of
Americans were disappointed at
the failure of Eden and the
adoption by England of the
Chamberlain peace at any
price" foreign policy. 1t is not a
remote possibility that this par
tisan sentiment will in the future
be reflected in the governments
attitude, and result in a more ag-
gressive and pointed U. S. policy
toward the totalitarian states.
Whether that would make our
participation in the next world
war unavoidable is topic that is
being debated fiercely by all
manner of theorists-but it can
not be settled save in the in
fallible test-tube of Time.

To quote a leading business
magazine, the threat of a world
war will affect almost every
thing that is done III Washing
ton from now on: Naval con-
struction, merchant marine, army
expansion, taxes, Secretary HulFs
reciprocal trade program, per-
haps even government reorgani-
zation". War-past, present and
future-is an ominous and eX-
ceedingly active element IN
American affairs today.
Most obvious example of our
preoccupation with the prospect
of war is the naval building pro-
gram, the largest in our peace
time history. It's proponents-and
there are many-argue that our
best guarantee of peace is a mail
ed fist second to none. On the
other hand, there are men of
distinction and authority who
argue with force that this pro-
gram is leading us straight into
war. Reason: Navy specifica-
tons today call for fighting ships
of tremendous cruising ranges,
and for supply vessels able to
make runs of thousands of miles,
provide the fleet with oil, food,
munitions, and return to bases on
the continental United States.
How, say the opponents of the
building program, can ships OF
this type be justified as essential
tools of the national defense?
Why do we not build, instead,
small fast ships with a relatively
short cruising range, sufficient
in number and power to defend
our coasts-but not to fight In
foreign waters? Is it possible,
they conclude, that the unspoken-
purpose behind the current pro-
gram is the creation of U. S.
fleet primarily designed for and
capable of fighting in the China
seas or the Mediterranean?
There is no definite answer to
these questions now-but they
are indicative of the confusion
that exists in the minds of the
people. Even more important,
perhaps, is the attitude of the
State Department toward Euro
pean troubles-an attitude that
has received a great deal less in
depreciation than a subject of
such moment deserves.
Apparently the day is over
when representatives of great
governments could sit down,
argue indifferences, arrive at
agreements and go home, with all
concerned knowing that the
agreements would be kept. at
least until some crisis arrived
which made one of the partici-
pants feel that it was necessary
to sacrifice principle to eXpcdien-

Italy-cannot be trusted There
arc two concrete examples of
this which are not widely known.
