one kind of politics adjourned and
another took it's place. Incidents:
q ALT Landon, 1886 G. o. P. presi-
Dental nominee, told the New York
Herald-Tribune that a third term
denial would be Franklin Roose-
velt's greatest contribution in the
present emergency. The President
(whose popularity has zoomed to
1886 heights) made no comment.
q A "Wisconsin-Palo Alto axis"
was formed by isolationists and anti
repealists, embracing such peculiar
chums as former President Her
bert Hoover, former Wisconsin Gov.
Philip LaFollette, Father Charles E.
Coughlin, Capt. Eddie V. Ricken-
hacker and ]. c. HORNED, Austin,
Mimi, meat packer. AS his fellow
aviator, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
had done the week before, Captain
Rickenbacker made a radio talk.
The "axis" named itself the Keep
Out-of-War committee.
q All Republican and one Demo-
cratic (Missouri's Bennett Champ
Clark members of the senate for
eign relations committee were
barred from a private session of
that group called to draft a neu-
trality bill. This brought many sar-
castle remarks about adjourned
politics"
At last measure was submitted
to the complete committee and
seemed certain to reach the floor for
heated debate. Not only would it
provide "cash-and-carry" neutrality
but it would placate presidential foes
by requiring a majority of both
houses for invocation. Another ex-
ecutive check: the munitions con-
troll board must report to congress
on sales to belligerents each six
months. Ninety-day credit was ex-
tended to belligerents. Other fea-
lures: ID Authorizing the President
to designate combat zones and bar
American ships and citizens from
them; ~ prohibiting collection Of
funds for belligerents; 90 requiring
belligerents to take title of goods
before shipment.

PAN AMERICA:
lob. Opportunity

Undiplouatic as happy kids who
know a secret are U. S. business
men who stand to profit from South
American trade expansion during
the European war. In late Septem-
Der, while % American nations met
at Panama City to weld their friend
ship and neutrality, there was much
bustling among tradesmen in New
York and Washington. z..s. .
The National Economic and So
cial Planning association said the
U. S. stands to gain tremendously"
in Latin-American trade, but was
wise enough to warn that expansion
must proceed on the "basic prin-
ciple that the only justifable pur-
pose is to benefit all con-
cerned." Next day American Ex-
press company's Lynde Selden an
nounced his firm was opening a
chain of Latin-American offices to
help the U. S. in a boom trade he
expected would reach nearly $780,
100000 year. =.
Gone are the days of U. S. IDOL
lar diplomacy in Central and South
America, policy which reaped as
much i'll will as it did profits. But
there is every indication that Eu-
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-10-05

ropes new war will indeed bring
trade boom, moreover that u. S.
profits this time will be instigated
just as solidly by our southern
neighbors as dollar diplomacy's"
profits were instigated by American
profteers.
This turning of tables was obvious
at Panama City. First off, the con-
ference talked about neutrality and
a 300-mile defense network around
the entire hemisphere, in which bel
ligerent activities would be banned.
But U. S. Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles drew just as much
attention as neutrality. While long
hostile Argentina was negotiating
reciprocal trade treaty in Washing
ton, Undersecretary Welles was kept
busy explaining why his country
could not arrange more financial aid
like it recently extended to Haiti,
Nicaragua, Paraguay and Brazil.
Reason: Congress failure to pass
the lend-spend bill. Thus the Ex-
port-Import bank, which financed
Brazils recent purchase of IA
freighters, could not underwrite a
similar bid from Chile.
Though he bore no gifts, Under
secretary Welles could go back
home with pretty good idea of the
job and opportunity confronting the
U. S. in Pan-America relations: To
carry" its economically strapped
markets until world markets are
restored to normal.

THE WAR:
In the East

In 1916 the late Lord Balfour told
his British cabinet brothers that
"the more Russia is made a Euro
pean rather than an Asiatic power,
the better for everyone" His thesis:
That Germany would then be forced
to divert attention to the east.
Lord Balfour's wish came true in
late September when Russia and
Germany split Poland. (See Map,
agricultural Russia getting more
farm land which she doesn't need,
and industrial Germany getting
more manufacturing facilities which
she doesn't need. But there was
nothing to indicate this split-up
