implications of German intervention
were soon realized. Berlin's press
wept for the Slovaks just as 1t wept
for the Austrians and Sudetens last
year. Like an earlier 'fuehrer"

Germany for consultation while his
aides made fiery pro-Nazi speeches.
Finally, on the first anniversary
Of Austria's downfall, Germany Or
dered Czechoslovakia sliced into
three independent states-Bohe-
mia, Slovakia and Carpatho-
Ukraine. Though each state was to
decide for itself whether this indie
dependence was desired, there re-
manned little doubt but that Nazi
pressure would bring favorable de-
cision. AS result Der Fuehrer
cleared the way for his drive into
the Ukraine, replacing one strong
nation with three weak ones. More
over, since the Reich now lords it
over Bohemia, Slovakia and Car

Poland or Hungary will block the
Ukrainian drive by swallowing one
of these states.
Such developments made Europe
forget Sir Samuel Hoare's peace
plan. But what Europe could not
forget is that both Britain and
France agreed to guarantee Czecho-
slovakia's new boundaries after the
Munich conference, guarantee
which has now been ignored. Where

strength and abandoned the ZAP

Proper Legal Power Used,
But 1t Is Used Selfshly

Representative Halleck of Indiana
has been engaged for weeks in dig
ging up facts about these trade bar
riers. He told me the other day that
he intends to try to break them
down, either by constitutional
amendment or by national statute.
There are plenty of difficulties con-
fronting him, he admits, because all
of these things have been done by
using entirely proper legal power,
j but by using it selfishly.
To illustrate, Mr.. Halleck referred
to that oft-repeated assertion that
''the power to tax is the power to
destroy" Indeed, it as! The power
to tax for government revenue is,
and always has been, used. But
there are many instances of record
where that taxing power was en-
ployed to levy such high rates of
tax that the tax collector took every
thing produced. The business was
destroyed. And it is the same thinly
disguised use of proper power that
is getting the nation into an awful
mess, now. This choking of trade is
going on despite the constitutional
provision which says emphatically
that no state may levy tariffs
against importations from other
states. The bright law makers, and
their henchmen, have got around
that in the manner mentioned
above.
y. Mr.. Halleck supplied some facts
to show how widespread the condi-
ton has become. He mentioned,
moreover, that the nation is so blan-

International

Since last auturnn's Munich con-
ference the u. S. has popped in and
out from internationalism to isola-
ton, occasionally sticking its politi-
cal neck into affairs where many
people thought it had no business.
Samples: Secretary of the Interior
Harold Ickes' TRADES against the
Nazis, contrasted with congress ret
icence to approve u. S. arms sale
to European democracies. The ap-
parent sum total Of this vaccilating
foreign policy has been confusion,
yet there is good evidence that U. s.
pro-democracy pressure has exerted
enough international influence to
swing the world from war to peace.
Most definite U. S. aid has been
the sale of airplanes to France and
Britain allowing those nations to
change their armies overnight from
weak, covering units to potent
forces which neither Hitler nor Mus
solini dared trifle with.
But a. more positive u. S. aid has
been the moral support rendered
France and Britain via both direct
statement and roundabout action.
Not confirmed, but well authenticat-
ed, is the report that President
Roosevelt injected sedative into
jittery' France and Britain by adj
vising those chancellories to resist
any new Rome-Berlin demands.
Since foreign trade is an important
weapon of the 1899 model aggressor,
the u. S. inflicted its deepest wound
in German-Italian ambitions by for
mulating an important trade and
credit pact with Brazil, largest and
most important of the much-coveted
South American nations.
Though many countries (like Ar
igentina, Chile and PERU have ac-
cepted totalitarian trade gestures,
the U. S.-Bfazilian pact politely
hints that it would not be wise for
South American nations to become
too entangled with Europe. More
over the pact gives Brazil enough
financial encouragement to make
her tonorrow's No. South Ameri-
can nation, whose example her
neighbors will be wise to follow.
Gist of the pact: In return for Bra
lillian thawing out of frozen Amer
lean credits and resumption of pay
rnents on Brazilian bonds held here,
the U. S. will place $69, 100000 in
credits at Brazips disposal, also
making other efforts to stimulate
the eeuntry's industrial output and
her trade with the U. S.
How these developments have
strengthened the European back
bone is Immediately apparent.
Great Britain has defied Nationalist
SPANS blockade of the Loyalist
coastline, rislxing major incident
by sending two destroyers to rescue
a British freighter which had been
seized by Generalissimo Francisco
Francois warships. Britain has
pledged her aid to France against
Mediterranean territorial demands
by Italy. But most important, Lon
don has regained her confidence to
the point of making public recon-
mendation that Europe's five pow

Barriers TO Trade BettOeen
States Has Become fragrant

The thing called to national at
tention by the cream bootlegger is
the existence through the nation Of
barriers or obstacles to trade be-
tween the states: It has become fla
grant. Selfish interests have been
operating, first, in one state; then,
in another. Laws have been passed
utilizing proper government func-
lions to accomplish Inscriptions
ends. These have bred retaliatory
measures. Other states have passed
laws to "get even" with those acting
ahead. State officials, state trade
and civic organizations have threat
ened, and have sbeen threatened
right back, until now we have
throughout the United States thou
sands of people sticking out their
tongues in the most childish fashion
at other thousands of people. Each
group saying in sign language or
otherwise: you're another"
It is serious business, and there is
no doubt in my mind but what the
condition bodies i'll for national unity.
1t takes no expanded imagination to
think of the time when we might
have 48 little nations, snarling and
frothing at the mouth as crudely,
and quite as unintelligently, as they
do throughout Europe.
Now, it is one thing, and a very
proper thing, to use regulations for
the preservation of health, for the
protection of property, for the sup
port of government, or government
tai policy. It is quite another, and
dastardly, thing to make use Of those
regulations to prevent the flow of
commerce and the products Of farm
and factory. 1t is such things as
that from which monopoly is made.
If the now rather ill-famed monopo-
ly investigation is worth its salt
(which it has not demonstrated thus
far), it could demonstrate its value
by examining into trade barriers be-
tween states.

National Union Endangered by
Trade Barriers Between States
Booteggng of Milk and Cream Calls Attention Cond
ton That Has Become fragrant; Proper Government
Functions Used to Accomplish Inscriptions Ends.
BY WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg, Washington ID. C.

WASHINGTON officials and
newspapers of Washington, D. c.,
have worked themselves into ter
rible dither lately over new kind
of bootlegger-a bootlegger of milk
and cream. This city, like every
other city, has tight regulations con-
corning milk and cream that en-
tiers the national capital. They are
regulations designed to protect the
health of those who reside here.
Moreover, maintenance of such reg
ulations are an entirely proper func-
ton of government, because there
can be nothing more important than
health.
According to the charges filed and
upon which arrests were made, a
dairy four or five hundred miles
from Washington, inspected and Ii
censed by the state of its location,
brought in a truck load of refrig-
Grated cream without first having
obtained a permit to do so. The city
officials, prodded perhaps by local
diaries and nearby milk producers,
threw a couple of men into jail and
barked and squawked all around the
place because of this bootlegger.
The local press reports indicated the
city officials had made asses of
themselves over the whole matter,
but that is of no particular concern
to this discussion.
The incident is very important as
illustrative of a condition that is
rapidly endangering the national un-
ion of states, and is, therefore,
matter for analysis here. Frequent
ly, great national issues lie around,
or are kicked around, for months
before somebody inadvertently sets
a match to the powder; and it hap
pened to be local officials who struck
the match.
