ForeignPolicy
Quiz Faces
Candidates
Women Voters
Campaign Is
Launched.

A NATIONWIDE drive to get
~ important questions of Ameri-
~ can foreign policy into the
"A political picture in the COM
ing congressional elections will be
launched today by the National League
of Women Voters.
Directed by Mrs. Louise Leonard
Wright of Chicago, chairman of the
leagues department of government
and foreign policy, the campaign is
not intended to put candidates ION
the spot" but to get an expression OF
opinion on foreign policy that the
voters can take into account in cast
ing their November ballots.
Mrs. Wright, author of Toward a
Collective Peace System" and wife of
Quincy Wright of the faculty of the
University of Chicago, spent several
days recently at the league headquar-
ters, planning an active league CAM
paign.
In a message to State chairmen OF
| her department. she pointed out that
questions originally considered purely
domestic, such as the tariff, immigra-
tion and neutrality, are now comph-
Gated by international implications.
She urged that during the campaign,
records of candidates who have been
| in Office be examined as to their votes
on such questions; that opinions OF
candidates be gathered from press
stories and campaign speeches and
that league members use their inf1u-
ence to see that the candidates ex-
press themselves on foreign affairs.
Neutrality Chief Factor.
Neutrality and trade agreements
are the two principal foreign policy
factors of interest to the league.
Our organization holds that any
neutrality legislation should be suf-
ficiently flexible to permit the Execu-
tive to shape the policy according to
future developments that cannot now
be foreseen," Mrs. Wright said. The
position of the league is that neu-
trality legislation of the United States
should be employed to discriminate
in favor of those nations which OBJ
| serve treaty obligations and against
those which do not"
I'VE are vitality interested in what
the candidate thinks on the subject,
she continued. However, we point
out that in casting vote it is wise
! to remember that one is seldom justi-
fed in voting for candidate because
of his stand on single issue. The
important thing is to bring all issues
out into the Open"
War Debts Mentioned.
| Mrs. Wright says she is convinced
that the American people are even
more interested in international af-
fairs than they realize. AS an eX-
ample she cited the continued in
terest in the war debts.
We are accustomed to thinking
of war debts as an old and tiresome
subject" she said, but there is not
a debate on foreign policy in the
House of Representatives in which
war debts are not mentioned. They
are ever present in the minds of Con-
gress, an obstacle to negotiations or
other subjects. The league is for
reconsideration and revision of the
war debts in order to clear the way
| for progress"
In support of her contention that
the general public has far more in
formation on foreign affairs than
candidates give them credit for. she

Z NEW AGENCIES

Air Authority and Pay.Hour
Forces Are Making
Haste Slowly
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Two new Federal agencies are
"making haste slowly" in contrast
with the hustle that attended many
early activities of the Roosevelt ad-
miniStration.
The new units are the Civil Aero
nautics Authority and the Wage-Hour
Administration, both authorized by
the last Congress.
Elmer F. Andrews of New York, ap-
pointed wage-hour administrator by
President Roosevelt, is expected here
this week to begin organization of the
agency, although the wage-hour
standards will not become effective
until October "a.
Rush Is Doubted.
Mr.. Andrews future colleagues in
the Labor Department said that in
so far as he can control it, there will
be none of the feverish excitement
and rush of organizing the N. r. A.,
with which the Wage-Hour Admin
istration frequently has been COM
pared.
Mr. Andrews himself is quiet-not
q Snowman. Those here who know
him best predict he will say little while
he is studying the host of problems
arising under the new law.
Members of the Civil Aeronautics
Authority, sworn in last week, have
new problems but an experienced

Plans Gradual Changes.
All but 100 or 200 of the agency's
2,500-odd employees will come from
the Air Commerce Bureau, which the
authority will take over August %
About so will 60 over from the Airmai
Rate Division of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. For the time be-
ing, officials said, none of the routine
of either of these groups is to be upset
changes will be effected gradually.
One of the first big jobs of the
C. A. A. will be to make study OF
Americas airport system, on which
a report must be sent to Congress
next February.
The agency already has authority te
put in navigation aids at airports
Some officials believe it also has
authority to build the ports them
selves, although the point is in
question.
