 we of the Labor party are op- posed to the city manager charter primarily because this form of ad- ministration has no policy for the social services. No matter what any, one says to the contrary, it can never have Q policy other than that of economy. In the first place a city managers job depends on 1t. Sec ondly, the proposed governing body of the city, the council, will be made up of such a congiomeration of in- diyiduals with so many pet ideas and policies that 1t will be remarkable if even 8 policy of economy can be successfully promoted.

 Before close this discussion, I would like to refer back to the last paragraph in MT. Chase's letter in which he states that he at no time discussed with the mayor any other bond issue than water bonds.
 That is a startling admission for you to make, MT. Chase, since you represent about ten million dollars worth of taxable property. Isn't 1t reasonable to make the inference that there must be some sort of con- sideration for your lack Of interest in such important matters as bond- ing the city, which constitutes the act of placing . mortgage on your properties as well as. those of all others in the city?

The Socialist party opposes the city manager plan because 1t "has no policy for the social services" de- clared Raymond c. Smith, secretary treasurer of the state Socialist or ganization in a statement today.
 He declares that lower taxes, if achieved by the city manager plan, would be of no benefit to the city If they are accompanied by allowing police and fire equipment to be- come antiquated, reduction in per- sonnel, lowering of educational stan- dards, and a restriction in park and playground programs.
 Ulterior Motives
 MT. Smiths statement follows:
 "It t hardly necessary to go witch hunting for ulterior motives every time the question of the city mana ger charter is brought up. Neither personalities, ambitions or any other side issue can clearly settle the ques- tion and much of the ballyhoo att tendant to the referendum is use- less,-merely confuses the serious thinking citizen.
 "Is 1t important if Sen. Culhane Is a politician,-or that he has ann bitions to sew up the city or state in 8 grasp for prestige and power? He is not up for election now. And if he was 1t would seem that his great est sin is in the pride that he takes in going into oral contortions in an effort to tell his listeners just how good Sen. Culhane has really been After all, he can't be blamed for footing his horn little at this time just before a possible election,-or can he?
 Being laboring men and women we are naturally bit skeptical ot bankers, manufacturers, etc. How ever, in this instance 1t is not un- natural that these stalwarts of our city should seek form of city gov ternment that is parallel to the meth ods of management used in their various enterprises. They, or their boards, are in the habit of selecting a manager for their businesses. The whole works are left up to him. Ii he promotes profitable enterprise he is retained, if not, he Is fired. Just what he does is of little consequence as long as it is profitable. That is successful business management. Party System
 Successful city management is much the same, but the party sys- tenn of city management does not re- ly solely on 8 system of low taxes While the city manager form of gov- ernment stresses this point, the party system of government must take more into consideration the social services with the lowering o1 taxes taking a secondary place.
 What good will the lowering oi taxes be if police and fire equipment become antiquated and the personne! cut to a dangerous minimum? Car we be assured that our school facili. ties will not be cut below standardi How about park and playground budgets? What about our city water supply that is the finest and cheap. est in the state? Will a constructive street, sewage, garbage and ash re. moval program be instituted? What is the labor program for our public servants?

Molotoff warned Turkey in his

The easiest way for Russia to

The Russians, according to latest
reports, are massing troops in the
Ukraine close to the Bessarabian
border. They are awaiting the
usually severe winter which freezes
the ground solidly and makes it
possible fo1 mechanical units to

from the Ukraine. The Russian

1t is considered a possibility that
the Reich might join in this adven-
ture by reviving the secret treaty
between Czarist Russia and i'm
perial Germany. That secret treaty
was made in 1916 and gave Russia
the northern part of Rumania-
Moldavia-while Germany was
understood to keep the southern
part, between the Danube and the
Carpathian Mountains.
1t is rumored that the new agree
ment changes the old one inasmuch
as the Soviets would establish their
domination over Moldavia as far as
the Sereth River and the Dobrudia

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.


The danger of a German attack
on the Netherlands and Belgium is
minimized in American military
quarters.
While there is no doubt that the
German general staff has increased
its forces on the Dutch border, it
seems unlikely that the German
armies will try and break through
the lowlands.
The strategic disadvantages Of
such an operation would be too great.
Holland has a small but extremely
efficient army. The aviation and the
mechanical forces are excellent. The
flooding of the country can be done
easily and would form a grave
handicap to any invading army An
invasion Of Holland would auto
matically throw Belgium on her
neighbor's side. and the German
general staff will have to add at
least another 100000 men to the
number of the Reich's opponents.
X x X
There is no doubt that if the
Reich tried to force its way through
the Netherlands and Belgium, both
countries would offer stubborn re-
sistance. They would become the
western battlefield, and both France
and Great Britain would be invited
to send troops to the assistance of
the victims of Germany's oppression.
The war of positions would be
transformed into open warfare, with
the odds heavily against Germany.
But even in the improbable case
of the Reichs troops defeating Hol-
land and Belgium with the same
ease they have defeated Poland, the
advantage would be relative. The
Maginot line extends as far as
Northwest Belgium and the Ger
man general staff, after having
reached the French-Belgian border
would be in the same predicament
it is today
OF course nobody here can pre-
dict what will happen because Hit
ler's mind is unfathomable. So far,
however, he has followed closely the
advice of his military experts and
has not attempted to inject in the
plans of the general staff any of
his personal wishes or ideas.
That some action is necessary
soon appears, however, probable.
Whether the attempt on Hitlers
life in Munich was a piece of
strategy on the part of the Gestapo
or a bona-fide plot on the part of
the opponents of Herr Hitler is i'm
material. Germany is undergoing
strain which is translated into q
subterranean effervescence. In or
der to ward off the serious conse-
quences of internal strife something
must be done to occupy the minds
of the people behind the front lines.
X X X X
In the opinion of those who fol-
low carefully the situation in Ger
many there are two possibilities.
One is that the general staff may
make a desperate effort to break
through the Maginot Line now. In
such a case the troop movements
on the Netherland front are con-
sidered as a blind to conceal other
more important actions of the gen.
eral staff.
It is admitted in Germany that
an attempt to break through the
French fortified line would be a
gamble. If it failed the sacrifice
of several hundred thousand Ger
man lives would be useless and the
repercussion of defeat-or mega
tive victory-would have a serious
effect not only within the Reich,
but also on the bordering neutral
countries. A frustrated effort on
the western front is considered
tantamount to a defeat.

British Watching
r-r>
New FriendIiness
OF Japan and Russia
Fear American Pressure
May Force Toxic Into
Ropprochement
By A, r. STEELE,

Chicago Daily News Foreign CORRESPONDENT.
SHANGHAI, Nov. 10.-British in
terests in the Far East are watch
ing the new and unnatural friend
illness between Japan and Russia
with the closest attention and mis-
giving. 1t is obvious that the pri-
mary Soviet motive is to relieve
pressure on Russia's eastern from
tiers and simultaneously to ALLEVIATE
Japan from the democracies.
The eagerness shown by the Japa-
nese IN responding to the initial
Soviet overtures after years of mill
tant anti-Sovietism is a rather
pathetic commentary on Japan's
delicate and difficult position.
The question that the British and
others are asking is how intimate
this weird relationship is likely to
become. While the British SEEM
ingly are all set to surrender more
OF their traditional rights and priv
tleges in China when the next
Anglo-Japanese diplomatic show
down comes, they are scared lest
American hostility and economic
pressure drive Japan into political
rapprochement with Russia.
The fact is that much of the bally-
hoo emanating from Japan about
Soviet-Japanese relations is pure
propaganda designed to intimidate
America and Britain into a more
cooperative attitude. Nevertheless,
there is real desire on the Japa-
nese side to reach a settlement of
the long-standing Russo-Japanese
differences.
Negotiations will begin shortly
between Moscow and Toxic in the
friendliest atmosphere that has sur
rounded Russo-Japanese relations
In some years. The issues the Japa-
nese are most interested in settling
are Manchukuo border demarcation
and the disputes over the Kam-
chatka fisheries and the Sakhalin
oil fields. There is considerable in
terest on both sides in the nego-
alton of commercial treaty. The
Japanese need Soviet oil, timber
and metals; the Russians need
Japanese ships, foodstuffs and
manufactured goods.
1t is questionable, however.
whether either country is in a po-
sition to supply tie other such
goods in sufficient amounts to re-
duce dependence upon third coun-
tries. Any talk of a political rap
prochement, such as a non-aggres-
sion pact, is highly premature.
Such an achievement depends en-
tirely upon future developments.
At present Japan is not in a
mood for such an intimate tieup,
but could be driven to it. A Japa-
nese-Russian friendliness based
upon expendiency will not live.
Fundamental theological and stra-
tegic differences are too deep
seated to offer any hope that it
will last any longer than conven-
lent to one or both sides. Japan
would rather play with the democ-
rac1es-if they would only play.
