The Political Mill
Events Force Roosevelt to Restote
No EntunqIina Alliances Policy

secret foreign policy-which linked
him and this country with France
and Great Britain-and a public
foreign policy which declared
against any foreign alliances at
all. Now the President has said
there is no secret foreign policy
that the only policy this country
has is against any entangling
alliances"
What encouraged a belief in the
reported new policy of the admins
tration-one Of concerted action
with Great Britain and France
was the repeated statements of the
President criticising the totalitarian
governments, in his speeches and
messages to Congress, and similar
statements made by at least one
member of his cabinet, Mr.. Ickes.
The President, at his press con-
ference yesterday, attributed the
accounts published in many news
papers to politics against
his administration. Foreign policy,
he declared, should not be involved
in legislative, party or newspaper
politics. The news accounts of what
happened and what was said at the
Presidents conference with the Sen
ate Military Affairs Committee we're
similar, whether they appeared in
anti-New Deal or pro-New Deal
newspapers. The press associations
reports, supposed to be impartial,
also were similar. The President
was more aroused, apparently, by
editorial comment on the news re-
ports than over the news reports
themselves.
Newspapers Not in Issue.
The newspaper reports were based
on what reporters learned from
persons who attended the confer
ence, or from other members Of
Congress who received reports from
those colleagues who did attend. No
large group of reporters would have
the same imaginings-provided any
reporters INDUCED in imaginings.
The issue lies, therefore, between
the President and members of Con-
gress or others in position to know
what went on at the conference.
Prediction was made last night that
the last word has not yet been said.
One trouble about this admins
tration is that it goes about telling
the American people, in one way or
another, that the days are passed
when the United States occupied an
aloof poSition in the world Vir-
tually the argument is made that
this country cannot remain outside
Of what affects other nations. Amer
lean isolation is just another one Of
those things that belonged to the
horse -andbuggy days" All Of
which arouses belief that this
government must take position
on whatever is happening on the
other side OF the ocean.
Yet as soon as it appears that
the administration may have taken
a position with regard to foreign
happenings, and a roar has gone up,
denials are forthcoming.
Vote on Dies Gives Clue.
The feeling in America against
Americas tying herself up to for

nance OF world trade for everybody

Munitions Available.
This must mean that war NUM-
tions are available to anybody who
has the cash to buy them. Tech
nically there is neutrality between
governments, and If Germany seeks
to buy munitions in America, there
is no law or regulation which could
stop her. Individual companies and
citizens mightsimpose a boycott on
the sale of German supplies or the
purchase of commodities from Ger
many, but the President never init
mated to anybody that any such
plan was in his mind, and hence it
can be safely assumed that as long
as there is no congressional embargo
against shipments to the totalitarian
states. there will be no such en-
barge imposed. The belief that MIR.
Roosevelt, on his own responsibility
would endeavor either to boycott
totalitarian states, or that he would
enter into any alliances with France
or Britain is fantastic, but it is nev-
ertheless held by many persons who
are politically opposed to the admin
istration. 1t is significant that not
a single person who has gone along
with the President on domestic
issues has expressed such fear of
Mr.. Roosevelt's policies or discerned
any evidence of improper motive in
his handling of the national defense
problem.
Mr.. Roosevelt's position is exactly
that of Mr.. Wilson in 1914 to 1916,
when many elements sympathetic
with Germany sought to have Con-
gress place an embargo on arms to
the allies. It is that the United
States sells to all nations-but it so
happens that in time of war the

Aoki, japanese Board
Of Industry Head,
Is Militorist
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

1t is politician rather than q
business man who carries through
Japan's totalitarian seizure Of bus
mess and industry, as IS Of the ma
tion's major industries are tossed
into the hopper of state control as
starter. 1t IS no violation OF prec-
edtn. There has, as yet, been no
dictator Of past business experience
or proved earning capacity in COM
petitive free-for-all.
Kazuo Aoki, who heads the plan
ming board which is ingesting Japa-
nese industry, has been on the pub
lie pay roll ever since his gradua-
ton from the Imperial University
Of Toxic in 1915. He has, however,
had to do with money and finance
other peoples, incidentally. In 1925
he was chief of the secretariat Of the
finance ministry, and in 1927 chief
Of the treasury section of the flnan-
cial bureau Later he was head of
the foreign exchange administra-
ton Office.
Now Ranked as Militarist.
In past years, Mr.. Aoki was mid
dle-of- -the-roader in the contention
between the military and the great
industrialists, but now stands with
the military, as the need for "de-
fense" gives sanction to the new in
dustrial lock-step. 1t is being
launched in secret session of the
Diet.
Mr.. Aoki is a son Of the distin-
guished Viscount Zenzo Aoki, Ja-
pans first Ambassador to the United
States, in 1906 and 1907. After Japan
was opened to the Western World,
Viscount Aoki was the first student
sent abroad t ostudy the Occidental
world. 1t was on the economic and
scientific prospectus of thousands
of these students that the Meiji
built modern Japan. Young Zenzo
Aoki's student years were in Ger
many. He married the German
Princes Won Rahden, widow of a
German cavalry officer. and re-
mained'to serve as secretary of the
Japanese Legation in 1873 and 1874.
Impressed With Discipline.
He was profoundly impressed with
| German discipline. order and techni-
| cal and scientific deficiency and
| played a historic role in blue-print-
ing these patterns of national be-
| havior for Japan. Heavily bearded,
aggressive and outspoken, with a
quick intelligence, he left his Amer
lean Ambassadorship after sharp
public disagreement with President
Theodore Roosevelt over our move
| to establish coaling stations in the
Pacific, a proposal which he keenly
resented He was one of the last
great liaisons between the feudal and
industrial age. He found this brand
of Occidentalism made in Germany,
as did his SON.
1t is beginning to seem quite pos
sible that the Barons of Runnymede,
Watt Tyler, the Hanseatic League,
Jean Jacques Rousseau ct al. were
just wishful thinkers. Feudalism
carries on, from father to son.

At least two of these Senators
recently have criticised the Presl-
dent on the theory that he had
virtually made an agreement to help
France and Great Britain-particu-
larly France-build up their air
forces, presumably to be used
against Germany and Italy If the
totalitarian governments should go
to war with them.
The Presidents public statement,
declaring against foreign entangle-
ments, and asserting that the pub
lished report he had said America S
new defense frontier was on the
Rhine was a deliberate lie," has
pulled the rug right out from under
the feet of those, in this country and
abroad, who believe that the United
States should now come to the aid OF
the democratic governments OF
Europe. 1t also makes the attacks
on Mr.. Roosevelt by German and
Italian official organs sound pretty
fiat.
Public Reaction Expressed.
The reaction of the country, or
a large part of it, to the published
reports that the President was ready
to take this country to the aid OF
European Democracies. was not
good. Senators say they have been
deluged with messages, kilograms
and letters, from men and women
opposed to having this country mix
in the difficulties between the Euro
pean powers. In all probability
they say, the President also has
heard from the country on that
question.
Out of the welter Of statements
reports from closed sessions of the
Senate Military Affairs Committee
and secret conferences between the
President and congressional COM
mittees, at least two things stand
out that have not been denied. The
first is that the Roosevelt admins
tration undertook to pave the way
for France to purchase the best
military airplanes it could find In
this country. The second is thai
the President has declined to say
whether the administration would
agree to follow a similar course II
Germany or Italy undertook to pur-
chase military planes in this coun.
try. To questioners the President
has replied that it is Hypothetical
question-and therefore he will not
answer it. In other words there will
be no answer unless and until Ger
many or Italy should come with
money in their hands to purchase
airplanes.
Secrecy Created Suspicious.
There was no reason why France
should not have been allowed to buy
planes In this country. There was
no law against it and there was very
good reason why they should have
been manufactured for French &C.
count; it was good American busi-
ness, an aid to our airplane indus
try. If at the same time it increased
Frances military strength, that also
would be satisfactory to a great
many people in this country. But
there should have been no secrecy
about the whole matter. It is when
things are covered up that sus-
picions arise That is Just what
happened in this case.
The suspicious went so far as to
imply that the President had a
