Science

Outstanding among 1885 news
stories was the growth and flourish
of dictators. To casual investiga-
tors, this is a new and revolution
ary phenomenon, but historians re-
call that RECOMMENDATION is centuries
old. BY years end. dictatorS had
been placed on the defensive at least
in the minds of democratic nation
ais in the u. S., Britain and France.
And although 1899 may see more
growth, more flourish, science has
stepped in with a prediction.
The man: DR.. John R. Swanton
of Washington Smithsonian insti-
tuition.
The forecast: In spite of the ef-
forts of political, social or clerical
groups to coerce the spirit of man,
man has always been able to resist
and reassert his freedom Chris
tianity, the great revolution of the
Eighteenth century and the growth
of science have been mans answer
to all attempts to dominate him"

Last winters congress tagged the
railroad issue too hot to handle"
and adjourned in the face of labor
crisis. Since then the crisis has
been smoothed, but only on the
promise to both railroads and their
employees that the new congress
will give better cooperation. First
step in the right direction was the
report of a siX-man management
labor committee which asked: Cd
regulation of all transportation by

transportation board to handle all
other regulations; 90 creation of a

Hopkins Is Objectionable

At the proper time, therefore,
congress will learn of what is going
to be done by the new administra-
tor.

appears very strongly that Mr..
Roosevelt has elevated to his cabi-

spending money again. He may not
win with the maneuver, but he has

of commerce, assuming that the
name will be confirmed by the SEN

Well, Mr.. Hopkins will draw his
pay regularly on the first and fif-

President Put Over Fast One in
NamingHopkinstoCom CommercePost
Reduces Chances of Investigation of WPA and Its
Relief Spending; Appointment of Harrington to
Hopkins Place Seen as Strategic Move.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service National Press Bldg, Washington ID. C.

WASHINGTON.-Many persons in
Washington are convinced that
President Roosevelt has slipped a
fast ball right over the plate in
front of his congressional critics by
the transfer of Harry Hopkins to
the job of secretary of commerce
and the selection of Col. F. c. Har-
rington as works progress admin
istrator. 1t appears to some OBJ
servers, certainly, that the presi-
dental maneuver has gone long
way toward reducing, if not elimi-
mating, the chances Of a dirty in
vestigation of WPA and its relief
spending.
The President knew of the brew
ing trouble that had Hopkins as
the focus; he was told how much
mud singing was due to take place,
and how the haters of Hopkins and
his methods were preparing to leave
no stone unturned in exposing ev-
erything about Hopkins and his or
ganization that could be made to
appear Shiny. Yet, Hopkins is per-
haps the closest of all of the Inner
circle" Of advisers to the President
and surely he is the Presidents best
personal friend. Naturally, he want
ed to keep Hopkins around.
In naming Hopkins to the post Of
secretary of commerce, vacated
only at Christmastime by the vet
eran official, Daniel c. Roper, Mr.
Roosevelt has had to take the
chance that the appointee would
meet some razzing in senate con-
firmation. That is a chance, Of
course, but Mr.. Hopkins will be con-
firmed after the boys in the senate
have had their say. But there will
be little opportunity for the anti
administration Democrats to sink
their teeth into the Hopkins appoint
ment to the commerce job. That
department has less money to
spread about perhaps than most
important government jobs. Admin
istration friends in the senate, there
fore, can say with propriety that a
razzing of Hopkins, as the COM
merce nominee, is not to be in
dulged in because this is another
job, not related to spending relief
money.

Defense

During the World war German
"U'' boats made naval history by
approaching U. S. Atlantic coast
cities. Last September German
submarines were still a menace,
helping to force blockade-wary
Britishers into the embarrassing
peace of Munich. In January. Ger
man submarines again made head
lines because Berlin announces her
determination to equal Great Brit
aims strength in submarine ton
mage.
Under the Anglo-German naval
pact of 1885, Germany has this right
under emergency, but London fails
to understand what emergency
faces the Reich today. Now built,
under construction or appropriated
for are II German submarines;
smaller than average, their tonnage
is only 81, l,282 Britain, with 73 sub
marines weighing 75,904 tons, finds
many Of her heavy underwater craft
obsolete. Not only is London fright
ened by Germany's numerical SUI
periority if the Reich builds up to
parity, but also because Germany
intends to build several large ocean
going submarines of 1000 tons or
more.
This program has tremendous sig
nificance on the international pic
ture. 1t can only stimulate the
world arms race, since England
must now build more ships capable
of conveying her ocean steamers.
In France, where the Anglo-German
naval agreement has always been
unpopular because, claims Paris,
London should never have recog-
nized Germany's right to any naval
strength, the Reich's new subma-
rine parity has produced genuine
alarm. Italy, always a big up
boat builder, reflects that the COM
bined German Italian submarine
fleets can now patrol the seven seas.
Convinced that new diplomatic
onslaught is behind Germany's
move, certain British circles are
capitalizing on their troubles to win
U. S. military support. Their story:
That Germany's 1000 ton subma-
rines are being built 20 cross the
Atlantic in Ya+a1ia+ +iOyo fOY tho cOOI
reception Hitler tactics have been
receiving in official Washington. If
this danger-real or false-can be
impressed on U. S. congressman,
Great Britain hopes it will result in
a larger American navy.

Weekly News Analysis
Wang Ching-,cei's Declaration

same time retaining party leader
ship.
Roosevelt strategy: Until just be-
fore congress opened, the White
House reserved comment on what
every legislator knew was a certain
ty, namely, drastic revision of such
New Deal grandchildren as social
security, the Wagner act, relief ad-
ministration and neutrality legisla-
ton. The President also knew such
revision was a certainty, but the
trump card was held back. Then,
with the Hopkins and Murphy ap-
pointments apparently due for con-
gressional opposition, the White
House was able to soothe ruffled
nerves by promising he would do
no more bill drafting. Consequently
both appointments are being ap-
proved, though Hopkins must ap-
pear before a committee investigat-
ing relief Irregularities, and Murphy
before the senate judiciary commit
tee to explain his attitude toward sit
down strikes.
What cannot be avoided, however,
is the feeling that White House con-
cessions outweigh those of Mr.. Gar
ner and other rebels. Having COM
mitted himself to a political back
seat while congress is in session,
Mr.. Roosevelt must find some way
to recapture the drivers seat or
risk political oblivion by convention
