 Nearly all prominent American residents are reserve Army off, cers, who would slip into uniform at the first sign of trouble, and handle the civilian and internal problem, leaving the regular army forces free to face invaders.

that the most imminent menace to Hawaii in time of war might be within itself. They note that in Honolulu alone, which has only about 45,000 Americans, there are 140,OO0 Japanese. While the Amer jeans believe that perhaps nine out of 10 of such residents would be loyal to the United States in crisis, they are sure that many might not be, and the damage they might do from within might be more vital than any on enemy could inf1ict from without.
 Plans are therefore already in existence for strong concentration camps into which any whose loy- alty seemed questionable could be

The appellate court said "No,' and reversed the case. Of course a correct decision is dependent upon study of all the facts in the case, of which only a very brief summary is given here. The court said that Laidlaw was in jured because of the explosion which was due to the act of Nor cross and not due to Sage, and that even though Sage may have moved Laidlaw a few inches, that movement could not be consid- cred as the primary or direct cause of LaidlaW's injury.

system
The maneuvers, some naval ex-
perts declare, will show a serious
deficiency in facilities which
would be necessary in event of a
major war, particularly in the
South Atlantic, and for this rea-
son the fleet will operate as far
south as Brazil.
Both President Roosevelt and
Secretary of State Cordell Hull
are committed to strong defense
policy in Latin-America. They re-
Gently re-pledged unqualified sup,
port Of the Monroe Doctrine and
experts believe that, if the ma
neuvers reveal defense deflclen-
cies, the administration Will move
to strengthen it's position
This, according to the experts
undoubtedly would inspire other
powers to improve their bases and
probably go in search for new and
more strategically located sta
tons. -,
Outcome of the Spanish civil
war also is expected to have an
important bearing on future ma
val developments in the Atlantic,
since it is generally expected that
in event of victory for lnsurgent
General Francisco Franco, both
Germany and Italy will receive a
share of the spoilS.
Possibility of an ltalo-German
agreement with Franco by which
they might receive certain small
but very strategically important
outlying possessions belonging to
Spain is foreseen here, and the
opinion has been expressed prl-
vately that such concessions might
lead to greater naval activity in
the Atlantic.
1t is specialized that Premier
Benito Mussolini might obtain the
Balearic islands, off the east
coast of Spain in the Mediterra-
mean, and that either he or Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler might also be
granted the Spanish Canary is

r;ca below the Canary islands and
Rio Del Orc.
Meanwhile. Great Britain re-
portedly is preparing to increase
her strength at the Freetown ma
val base in the territory OF Sierra
Leone, West Africa. Freetown al
ready is well defended by fortl-
fications and has large naval re-
pair shops in addition to fueling
system and considerable CONNER
call shipping facilities.
1t is at this point that Africa is
closest to Brazil, being within
comparatively easy flying dis
lance over the route that military
and naval strategists believe
would be followed by any Euro
pean power attempting an inva-
sion of South America.
The United States determina-
ton to go to war, if necessary,
to prevent any such invasion
raises the question, experts say,
of this country's keen interest in
developments regarding naval
bases on the other side of the At
lantic.
The 1883 fleet maneuvers will
be conducted from base at
Guantanamo, Cuba. 1t is farther
from Guantanamo to the prospec
tive scene of the maneuvers than
it is from New York to Berlin.
The only base the United States
has of any Importance in the
equatorial area is at Panama, and
this is as far from the so-called
"air bridge" from Africa to Bra
I'll as it is from New York to the
Russian-Polish border. The Unit
ed States has an anchorage in the
Virgin islands, but in its present
condition it would be of little as

sistance to the fleet in any naval
engagement with European in
vader of South America.
Guantanamo has no facilities
for repair work and is undefend-
ed. Panama is we'll defended but
it's facilities are considered made
quate for proper handling of a
fleet engaged in war. These short
cOmingS in the defense system in
that area will be brought to a
head during the maneuvers, Off
Gals say, and very likely will re-
suit in demands for better shore
equipment.
Great Britain is considerably
stronger in the Caribbean area in
so far as outlying bases are con
cerned. She has a powerful sta
ton a tBermuda, with full facili-
ties and strong defenses, and in
addition has Kingston, Jamaica,
and Port Castries just off the
coast of Venezuela. Farther south.
almost at the extrem eend Of
South America, she has Port
Stanley, in the Falkland islands,
and in the South Atlantic she has
the powerful station of SimOns-
town and st. Helena island.
According to some experts,
Britain would be able to operate
much more efficiently from all
these bases than the United States
can in the area in which this
country will hold its 1889 fleet
problem.

 Only One Death
 Only one death is indirectly at- tributed to the Santa Monica blaze which scorched Topanga. San Tay-, neg and Los Flores Canyons after being kindled in the dry brush.
 Mrs. Louis Silver wife of the mu- sic director of Twentieth Century Fox, was found dead in her home. Nerve-worn by the menacing near ness of the flames during the night, she apparently took an overdose of sleeping powder. The coroner has ordered an inquest although he is certain the overdose caused her death.

Election Sets Neiu Value On
 Republican Nomination, l94O
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25. = Elec- tion returns indicate that the coun- try can take a turn to Roosevelt liberalism or modified Republican conservatism by shift of five or ten percent of the vote.
 Statisticians nave computed be- fore this that a five percent switch of votes to the Republican side in 1886 in certain key states would have reduced Roosevelt's over whelnAing electoral vote very sharp ly while switch of ten percent in other Key Sections would have de- feated hm.
 Now the switch of five or ten percent of the vote in certain of those fairly-well- balanced sectors has given the Republicans a re- sounding gain in the House and an emphatic and more important gain among the governorships. (Where party success is concerned, gov- ernorships are far more important than House or Senate places)
