Bombing planes, tanks, warshlps
and new army corps cost money,
and in the ordinary course of
things a nation does not buy them
unless it figures it may have to
use them. This now wave OF re-
armament is the clearest possible
indication that the war-danger is
not past.
This hardly iibes with all the
fine things that were said after
Chamberlain last talk with Hitler.
Yet there is nothing particularly
surprising about it, after all. The
world was tremendously relieved
when the Czech crisis passed of
without producing an immediate
war; in its relief it assumed that
the probe mhad been settled in
stead of merely being postponed.
Now 1t is beginning 10 see that it
made mistake.
If the Czech settlement had
been achieved by a process of non-
est, straightforward negotiation,
things might be different. But it
wasn't. Force gained the victory
there just as truly as if battle
had actually been joined. Hitler
got what he set out TO get by
threatening war. The settlement
was a triumph for militarism and a
clear-cut defeat for the theory that
national quarrels should not be set
tied by force.
What is happening nov is simply
the logical sequel. The way the
Czech crisis was solved" served
notice on all Europe that-for the
immediate future, at least-migna
makes right. The inevitable result
is that the contingents progress
toward a catastrophe war has
been accelerated.

Hyde Park, N. Y, Aug. 26.-(AP-
President Roosevelt today re-appoint-
ed Donald w. Smith of Pennsylvania,
as a member of the National Labor
Relations Board. Smith will serve a
term of five years. His present term
expires August q.
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, recent
ly discussed the expiration of Smiths
term with the President, but said he
had lodged no specific objections a.
gainst Smith. Instead, Green said he
had suggested to the President that
members Of the NLRB generally
should be "more judicial minded"
Also, the President said he and
James A. Farley were "in complete
agreement, as usual" during a poll
teal conference yesterday He made
this direct statement in response TO
questions at his present conference:
He and Farley were understood to
have gone over the political situations
in every state where the New Deal
is an issue. Farley repeatedly urged
the President to go personally into
Maryland in an effort to defeat Sena-
tor Tydings, an administration OPP
ponent seeking denomination. The
President did not comment on this,
however, saying only that he had no
engagements besides the Two already
announced for patriotic observance in
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, and Chattanooga,
Tenn.
The President also said that a pro-
posal being discussed in California
to give $50 weekly pensions to all per-
sons over 80 can be described as a
short cut to Utopia.
Chairman Sheppard, Democrat,
Texas, of the Senate Campaign Ex-
penditures Committee, advised David
LASER, president of the Workers AL
lance, at Washington, not to carry
out his plans to raise $4,000 poll
teal fund from donations made lar
gely by WPA workers. Citing a Sec
ton of the criminal code defining
"principale", the chairman said 1t
was his personal belief that LASER
and the Alliance would be violating
the law if the Alliance solicited funds
from relief workers.
