SOMETHING TO SWING WITH


 So much for the basic logic of the situation. The current hue and cry IS for a handle on which to swing the respective arguments. a
 The talk about secrecy in air- plane sales, the hint apparently from Senators that the President has suggested our frontier is the Rhine. or France, were used as handles by the isolationists to get their cases before the public.
 The Presidents retort that the hint is deliberate lie also served as handle to swing in restate- ment by him of American foreign policy.
 Both the President and his op- position are fully aware that the international situation is so much dynamite, and that it may explode before 1940. If it does, then foreign policy will be the issue in the forth coming acmpaign, and all figules on the political stage want them selves on the record favorably.
 In the light of long-term facts, the discussion about our frontier, and the retort from the White House takes on the appearance, historically, of so much spinach. Americas frontier has been ex- banding and contracting with in- ternatonal events ever since the re- public was founded. When Wash ington and Jefferson warned against alliances just before 1900. dsir frontier was the 13 colonies.
 Tn 1903, Jefferson brought the great Louisiana purchase within that frontier, and in 1923, Monroe flung it around the western henfi- sphere. The Spanish American war era stretched it westward to include remote Guam, the Philippines and Hawaii. The World war stretched 1t eastward to include France and the British Isles.
 When the Senate refused to rat ify the Versailles Treaty and de- clined to enter the League of Na- tions in 1920, many lines of our frontier were rubbed out.
 The present debate may help tO re-establish them.
 But where? That's the question. and only time can answer it.

U. s. IN THERE PITCHING

All of these bits of action arc methods short of war but stronger than words to the Berlin-Rome- Tokyo triangle. They are evidence that the United States is in there pitching for democracy.
 These methods raised the ques- tion in the minds of the more or less isolationist group of Senators. Where is all this economic and nili- tary aid to democratic nations going to lead America?
 Both sides can summon up plenty of evidence to support their cases.
 The Johnsons, the Borahs. the Bridges, the Yves, and others who oppose the Presidents position have logic for queries. Certainly, as the President himself states, it is Am erican policy to avoid entangling alliances. Then what about aiding democracies by sending them ma chimes of war and money? Might they not assume we will continue this aid in wartime, and establish an economic boycott or blockade against the totalitarian nations Would this not drag us into war as it did in 1917?,

Miss Washburne
 Becomes Bride of George Phillips

At a quiet ceremony performed last evening by the Rev. John A. Glasse in the Parsonage of the Northern Light Presbyterian Church, Miss Beatrice Washburne became the bride of George Phillips.
 The bride was attractive in an en- semble of spring green with hat to match and gray assesories. She wore a large shoulder corsage of white gardenias. Mrs. Peggy Gatti, her only attendent, wore dark tailored dress with a corsage of talesman roses. F. J. Waite acted as best man for the groom.
 Immediately following the cere- mony a wedding reception was held at the home of MT. and Mrs. F. J. Waite. during which time approxl- mately fifty friends of the couple calling during the evening to wi\l them happiness.
 A three tier wedding cake centered the bridal table, with silver decora- tions and bowls of jonquils off set by spring green tapers forming an attractive setting for the reception.
 Among thase present at the re- ception was Master Donald Phillips. nine year old son of MT. Phillips. His young daughter, Ruth, who is now in Tacoma, will join the family here this summer.
 Both Mir and Mrs. Phillips are well known in Juneau and for the present will make their home in this city.

WASHINGTON, March 1.--To get a strangle hold on the elusive ques- ton of American foreign policy. go back to the Presidents annual mes sage to Congress month ago and sneak upon this puzzling sentence:
 There are methods short of war. but stronger and more effective than words, of bringing home to aggres- sor governments the aggregate sen- timents of our own people"
 Washington observers are sure now that he was talking about such things as:
 l. The expanding national de- fense program that may cost the peacetime record sum this year of billion and quarter dollars.
 2. The Navy's suggested plan to improve Guam, right under Tokyo's nose.
 3. The $25,0O0,000 loan made re- gently to China for industrial im- provements, in the face of Japan's known disapproval
 4. The visit of Foreign Minister Aranha of Brazil to Washington, perhaps to discuss loan to Brazil and other possible loans to Latin American republics.
 5. The State Departments recent request to airplane manufacturers not to sell war planes to Japan.
 6. The approval of the sale of hundreds of airplanes to democratic France and Great Britain.
