Washington, Feb. 14.-Ever
since the beginnings of the Amer
lean Government, Congress has
bsen suspicious of every act OF
the Executive having to do with
foreign affairs.
George Washington's warning
against "entangling alliances" IN
his Farewell Address took root
in the spirit of the people and has
become, in the course OF a CEN
tury and a half, almost as sacred
an American principle as the
Constitution itself.
1t was that principle which
kept the American nation, when
we entered the World War, from
becoming in any official sense an
"ally" of the powers which were
fighting against Germany and
Austria. We were associates but
not allies.
President Wilson and the Con-
gress of that time took great
pains to make it clear to all the
world that America was fighting
for its own hand and was not
bound by any acts Of agreements
of the Allied Powers.
And it was the ingrained Amer
lean fear of foreign alliances, as
much as anything else, which pre-
vented the United States from
becoming member of the
League of Nations after the great
war.
With that historical background
clearly in mind, it is easy to un-
derstand the Juror which has
been stirred up by the disclosure
that President Roosevelt had au-
thorized a secret French mission
to inspect American aircraft fac
tories with a view of ordering a
large number of fighting planes.
Result OF ACCluenC
The disclosure was the result
of an accident. A new type of
military plane was being tested
in Los Angeles. 1t crashed and
the pilot was killed. His COM
panion, however, was rescued
from the wreck with two brok-
en- legs, before the plane caught
fire.
Officials of the aircraft COM
pany said he was a mechanic
Smithin. It leaked out, however,
that the injured man was Paul
Chemidlin, representative of
the French War Office, over here
with a group selecting planes for
French purchase.
The disclosure startled Con-
gress. An inquiry was begun
which revealed that M. Chemid-
lin and the rest of the French
mission had received specific au-
thority by order of the President
himself to inspect American air.
plane factories and take part in
tests Of new military planes.
Probably nobody had the
slightest objection to the pur-
chase of American aircraft by
non-combatant European powers.
1t had been reported that not on
ly the Frnch but the British were
buying or about to buy planes in
this country.
Indeed, the British orders for
400 fighting planes were increas-
ed to $50 after the incident of
the injured Frenchman was dis
closed. And France had open
ly announced that it intended to
buy at least 500 planes in Amer
lea.
Feared Special FavOrs
What stirred up Congress, in
Guiding those friendly and I'M
friendly to the President, was the
feeling that some sort of inter-
national negotiations were going
on, clouded in secrecy. 1t looked
as if special favors were being
shown to France.
Mr.. Roosevelt sent for the
members of the senate Commit
tee on Military Affairs, seventeen
Senators of both parties, in a
clnSe-dOnr session lactino rooarl1n

The dangerous cancer years
for women are those over thir-
ty-five. In 1936-the last year
for which figures are available
the United States Census Bu-
reau reports that 77,069 women
died of this disease. OF these,
73,776 were over IS years of age.
Approximately one out of sew
en- women of thirty-five or ov-
er will die of this disease, if
the present rates continue.
The death rate is particularly
high in women between the ag-
es of thirty-five and sixty-four.
In this group, one out of every
five deaths in 1886 was due to
cancer. Of the 40,629 women
between thirty-five and sixty

High Court Rejects
Attack on Labor Board
BY the Associated Press.

~
The Supreme Court refused today
to review an attack by the Carlisle
Lumber Co. of Onalaska, Wash, on
a Labor Relations Board order re-
quiring reinstatement of lat dis
charged employees with s1S5,00O back
pay.
Without explanation the tribunal
refused to pass on decision by the
Ninth Federal Circuit Court uphold
ing the order.
No opinions were delivered by the
court. This postponed at least until
next Monday final decision on the
right of the Government to deport
an alien Communist. Joseph G.
Strecker of Hot Springs, Ark, is in
volved. The case has been awaited
since the ruling may determine
whether deportation action is taken
against Harry Bridges, West Coast
c. I. o. leader.
Action on the Carlisle case had
been up for several weeks to await
rulings on three Labor Board cases
which were decided last Monday.
In those cases the court set aside
Labor Board orders directing the
reinstatement of striking employees
The board found that the Carlisle
Co. had discharged employees who
were members of the Lumber and
SaWmill Workers Union and mad
dominated "pretended labor or
ganization" known as the Associated
Employees of Onalaska, Inc.
