American interests, whether CONT
mental or colonial.
Two other significant things
have also happened which the pub
lie sees only dimly II at all, be-
cause they have not been openly
emphasized:
First, a change in the Army's
attitude on the question Of pub
lictiy, and second, a shakeup in
Army personnel at the top, de-
signed to weed out the overstuffed
generals and put in their places
men who not only can function
at desk jobs, but who are fit to
fight otherwise.
Assistant Secretary Of War
Louis johnson is credited with
having reintroduced with double
emphasis the Rooseveltian idea
Theodore RoSevelt's, not Franklin
Roosevelt's-that a general ought
to be in physical and mental shape
to take the field at q moments
notice. Johnson's methods have
been less spectacular than the
order of T. R., ordering his gen
erals to work of their fat, but
perhaps more effective. AS re-
suit, the men who will command
Americas military forces II wal
should come again in spite Of all
the President and Secretary Hull
can do to KEEP us out of it, will be

FAVORABLE REACTION
All Of these things, including
Johnson'S policy-approved by
President Roosevelt-of taking the
public more completely into the
Army's confidence as to its mill
tary achievements, readiness tc
fight, and preparations for de
fense, have had a favorable pub
lie reaction.
But beyond willingness tc

Preparedness Urged
By Senator T Ydings
.drylander Tells
u. S. to Keep
Out of War

Peace anc preparedness" were
offered today by Senator Millard
E. Tydings of Maryland, newly
nominated fer the Senate on a
platform critical of many of the
Roosevelt policies, as the correct
course for the United States at
the present juncture of world
affairs.
Here for the day, he approved
President Roosevelt's appeal to
Hitler to preserve the peace of
Europe. In the course of his cam
paign. he haG questioned some of
the Presidents acts as likely to
lead to war.
I'm not going to charge any
body with anything" he said to-
day. IT said in my campaign that
I would be against taking the
United States into war if there
were any honorable or reasonable
way to keep out. I still mean
that.
EFFORTS PRAISEWORTHY
"AS to the Presidents appeal,
i will say only that any effort
to assist in the peaceful solution
of Europe's troubles or of con-
flicts elsewhere-anything which
has a tendency to serve as a
Sedative or encourage restraint
and substitute reason for force
is to be commended and en-
couraged. That applies Of course
to President Roosevelt's communi-
cation to Hitler, as it does to the
efforts of Secretary Hull.
ANY effort that we can make
at home or abroad without our
selves becoming involved is all
right. But we must be careful to
stop there.
IF war should come in Europe
the people themselves will decide
the course Of this country. Neither
the President nor Congress will
take the United States into war
without the support of public
opinion. I see no danger of that.
I think at the outset, the nation
will reserve decision as to its ulti-
mate action, and that if we even
tually should become involved it
would be only cause we could
not honorably I reasonably stay
out.
I'm the meantime I should say

The resolution, which is certain

WANT ALIENS OUSTED
Pointing out the strategic i'm.

two additional resolutions urged
that thousands of jobs in the
Canal and railroad organizations
now held by aliens be filled by
Americans.
A fourth resolution strongly rec
commended that the Government
manufacture munitions of war to
prevent profiteering.
Meanwhile the convention Of
ficers and delegates were bitterly
critical of New Deal labor policies.
John P. Frey, president of the
department, attacked the Wagner
act as "diSruptive" and the wages
hours law as threatening to impose
"commiSSar control" over indus
