litical abuse of WPA workers in

failed to sustain charges in Mary

committee criticized the utter
ance of Aubrey Williams, deputy
WPA administrator, who told re-
lief workers, We've got to keep
our friends in power, calling it
"a form of coercion. contrary to
public policy and the spirit Of
our government. The commit
tee recommended legislation de-
signed to prevent relief officials
from using coercion upon the
workers.

Diplomatic relations between
the United States and Japan have
reached the point where war is
inevitable if both of these powers
insist upon what they consider
their rights. The japanese pro-
claim a New Order in the Far
East, under which japanese have
superior rights to other powers,
regardless of their treaties with
China and Japan. The United
States rejects this thesis and re-
serves all rights, refusing assent
to any impairment of them. So
far as the exchange of notes is
concernedy the clash could not be
more complete.

Some weeks ago the idea was
advanced that an indication of
the Presidents future course
could be obtained from his ap-
pointment of successors to Secre-
taries Roper and Cummings. 1t
was said that the President could
make a gesture to the Right by
naming men satisfactory to the
Conservative Wing of his party.
In fact, the President named
Harry L. Hopkins to the post of
Mr.. Roper in the Commerce De-
partment and former Governor
Murphy, of Michigan, to be At
torney-General in the place of
MIR. Cummings. Thus, it is ap-
parent, so far as one may judge
from Cabinet appointments, that
the President continues to stand
definitely upon his program with
out any indication that he intends
to make substantial concessions
to those who oppose his policies.

If the United States, in support
of her diplomatic position, resorts
to other measures, such as ex-
tending financial aid to China,
putting an embargo on the ship
ment of goods to Japan, or pro-
hibiting the sale of japanese
goods in this country, war might
be averted, but only if the jap
anese accept the conditions with
out resort to force. It may be
taken for granted, we think, that
if any measure of the United
States becomes effective enough
to impair the Japanese campaign
in China, the danger of a conflict
will be great.

p While the United States has not
the commercial investment in
China that Great Britain has, it
is a mistake to assume that our
interests in the Far East are less
than that of the British. For gen.
erations, the, United States and
China have been on extremely
friendly terms and missionary ac-
tivity in China has given the peo-
pie of this country great interest
in the Chinese. Transcending the
material interests is the concern
of the United States over the con-
tinued successes of aggressor ma
tons, which flout treaties and the
rights of other powers, thus lead
ing the world to a day when
force, and force alone, will be-
come the arbiter of national de-
velopments.

Of course, the cry will 60 up
in many sections that these Eng
lish goods are keeping American
workmen from being employed.
Those who raise this complaint
The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1939-01-11

do not point out that the Ameri-
can goods sold in England and
her colonies provided employ
ment for workers here. In Great
Britain, and the other parts of the
Empire affected by the new
treaty, the same cries will be
raised. 1t will be asserted that
the importation of American
products prevents British labor
ers from being employed. Over
there, just as in this country, the
protests will say nothing about
the employment provided by the
goods exported.

Recently, S. Paul Johnston, edi-

reported the air strength of the
various nations in this proportion:
Germany, 10; Italy, 6; Great Brit
ain, S; United States, 4; France, 2
From other sources comes in
formation that Germany and Italy
are more than a match in the air

completely destroying the myth

Credence isegiven to a report that
in November, Germany's aircraft
plant turned out 1000 war planes
or double the production rate in
Great Britain and much higher
than that of France. 1t is said that
400, 900 men work in the German
aircraft industry and that the
average monthly output of planes
is around 500. The British are
credited with $50 planes a month
Italy with 200 planes, France with
far less than Italy and the figures

5000 planes. The British Empire
was credited with 1000, France
5000, Russia 4,700, Italy 1900 and

the German air force would COM
mand the sky completely in
about month.
