EUROPE:
Protest or Plea?

A war that hurts civilians is at
once the most painful and the most
likely to end in hurry. Thus far
the War of 1899 has disdained bomb
ing cities and has even been easy
on troops in the front line. But a
continent whose life blood courses
the seven seas cannot laugh off many
body blows to its merchant marine;
by late November the intensified
warship-submarine-mine warfare
being waged between Britain and
Germany had taken big toll and
the price was getting higher every
day. Britain searched for the Nazi
raiders Deutschland and Admiral
Scheer while the air force made
futile raid on the naval base at
Wilhelmshaven. The navy was or
dered to seize all Nazi ships trans
ferred to Russian registry.
Cause of this scurrying was the
wars second major disaster. The
Athenia sinking cost liz lives, but
$50 were feared lost when the Dutch
liner Simon BoIiuar struck mine

under her de. facto control would not
benefit from tariff reductions on
crude petroleum and miscellaneous
agricultural products. This brought
two repercussions: ID Observers
wondered whether such recognition
of Germany's control over Czecho-
Slovakia and Poland might not be
a blunder; (2) the so per cent tariff
cut on crude oil imports meant,
among other things, that Mexico
could sell us at a reduced rate the
oil she appropriated from U. S. COM
panies.
Loudest >objector to the Latin
American trade expansion was Fred
Brenckman, legislative representa-
tive of the National Grange, who
told that groups convention in
Peoria, ILL.,, that he didn't like the
proposed Argentine trade treaty, a
pact which would necessitate larger
agricultural imports from that ma
ton to Offset larger exports from the
U. S. Said he: "It looks as if we
were going to buy Argentine friend
ship at the cost of the American
farmer"

taxes next year. Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau was va
cationing at the time, so the dirty
work of repudiating Eccles' state
ment fell to Undersecretary John w.
Hanes. Said he: 81 don't think he
(Eccles) spoke for the administra-
ton. I doubt seriously if he spoke
for congress. I am certain he didn't
speak for the treasury"
Observers thought John Hanes'
boss would secretly applaud the re-
mark, for Henry Morgenthau-al-
though loyal to the President-has
fought deficit spending. And the
treasury, far from stumbling blindly
ahead, is sitting thousands of sug-
gestions solicited during the past
summer before offering congress
any recommendations on 1910 tax
program.
That congress may also be con-
trary was limited when Colorado's
Sen. Alva Adams told the press he
favored establishment of a congress
sional agency to "police" the ap-
preparation demands of executive
departments, not by way of block
ing requests for funds but to give
the taxpayer chance to argue his
side of the story.
Meanwhile it was learned the
budget bureau may not issue its Gus
tomary revised estimate of receipts
and expenditures this year. Like
the congressional tax committee,
which is holding its recommends
tons in allegiance, the budget bureau
is stymied by abnormal conditions
abroad.

PAN AMERICA:
Good and Bad

In happy mood did Secretary of
Commerce Harry Hopkins announce
foreign trade figures for the autumn
months. Exports to the United
Kingdom Except cotton were down
appreciably; so were exports to Bel
GUM, Netherlands, Spain, Germany
and Poland. But a ray of warm sun
shine came from the south: Exports
to Latin America in October were
% per cent higher than in Septem-
Der, SAT ZOO, 900 against $36, 100000.
But all was not peaches and
cream. Complaints against the gov
ernment's reciprocal trade program
began poisoning in farm and in
dustrial circles, and were even felt
by diplomats.

Kuhn that he failed to hear the ques-
ton most good Republicans have
been asking about him: "Where does
he stand on national issues?"
Dewey, like at least two other 1910
hopefuls, was preparing to talk.
First on the agenda is speech at
Minneapolis December 6, where
party observers hoped to hear an
answer. Other stumpers:
% Ohio's Sen. Robert Taft, who
ranks low on Gallup polls, opened
his campaign at Cleveland by criti-
cizing Gallup polls for leading to
superficial facts and piling up band
wagon sentiment" On his schedule
before Christmas are at least eight
states.
(2) New Hampshire's H. Styles
Bridges, who has dropped the ''H."
for campaign purposes, was found
in Los Angeles.
80 Michigan's Sen. Arthur Van
denberg was silent; so was Penn
sylvania's Gov. Arthur James, latest
new candidate. -
G. o. P. 1910 strategy will proba-
bly, be "streamlined" if early signs
offer an indication. Seriously con-
sidered is a bitskrieg from Septem-
Der to November, instead of long
campaign. Meanwhile Marion Mar
tin, assistant national chairman, told
reporters of women's organization
100000 strong, which will sell the
party not by punching doorbells but
through social contacts. One job:
To scotch the notion that all Repub-
lican women are rich and wear Or
chids.
Franklin Roosevelt kept himself
busy playing with the press. Laying
a cornerstone for the Jefferson me-
mortal in Washington, he said he
chopped" he could be present when
it was dedicated in 1941. This, he
commented later, was injected inten-
tionally to trip up the commenta-
tors. A few days later, dedicating
his memorial library at Hyde Park,
he poked more fun: g. hope
they (the press) will give due inter-
probation to my statement that we
hope it will be fine day when we
open the building"
At Baltimore, Montana's Sen. Bur-
ton Wheeler (who may be John
Lewis candidate) made a speech
that looked conciliatory with Frank
lin Roosevelt. At Dallas the Texas
Editorial association, booming John
Garner, took a crack at John Lewis
criticism of their hero by holding a
banquet dedicated to "sin and cor
ruption." The "whisky-drinking old
man." who was busy fishing that
day, got himself toasted with milk.
