A Sound Veto

The proposed Illinois law to prohibit double features at the movies has been vetoed by Governor Horner. This will save the courts good deal of trouble, for any such law would certainly have long career there. Certainly the length of show presented by movie theaters to their customers would seem to be a mat

 Q. Is an inventor wasting his time in endeavoring to invent lim- itless power machinep
 A. Possibly 1t will be done some day, but the patent examiners as well as leading scientists are inclined to look upon the man who claims the invention of perpetual motion power machine as either deluded or faker. So skeptical is the patent office, and so many times has 1t been pestered by applicants with such devices, that it will not even con- slider such a claim unless a working model is provided.

the solidarity of the Scandinavian
bloc, to which Finland is closely
bound, and saw signs of unrest in
western nations aroused by the
menace" from the east. He sug-
gested the possibility of a radical
change in the development of the
war within the next few days.
In his broadcast Kekkonen de-
clared he could "truthfully say that
at the moment there is no reason
to believe Finland is in immediate
danger" but he added:
I'VE are in duty bound to con-
template what is happening in the
world and we must be ready to meet
any emergency"
Kekkonen also urged all who
could do so to leave Viipuri, the
capital Of Eastern Finland.
Gas mask sales in both Helsinki
and Viipuri rose in the wake Of
Kekkonen's warning.
Residents in rural sections near
the Soviet border, along which Rus
sian troops were reported massing,
will not be asked to leave, it was
explained. The territory is heavily
wooded. with interlacing rivers and
lakes. and transportation facilities
are not suited to handle a mass
exodus.

While no official estimates on the
strength of Finland's military re-
serves were available. observers es-
timated the nation could put 600, ,00C

The best sources placed the pres
ent regular army strength at about
300, 900.
The navy, it was said, had beer

For Present Conflict
BY the Associated Press.

BY tne Associated PreSS.
NEW YORK, Oct. lit Is Secre-
tary Hull's firm belief the United
States will maintain its neutrality
and steer clear of the European war.
In b speech to the 26th annual for
eign trade convention last night he
said 81 American republics are de-
termined not to be engulfed in the
conflict and are doing everything
possible to preserve their neutrality.
When the war is over, he con-
tinued, America must bend its efforts
toward an expansion Of sound inter-
national economic relations and an
enduring peace.
Message by Roosevelt.
In message read to the conven-
ton. President Roosevelt said 1t was
necessary for business men to MAIN
tain those liberal principles and
practices upon which our CONNER
cial policy is based" since business
economic well-being is "inextricably"
mingled with the Nations well-being.
Mr.. Hull said the present conflict
grew from marrow economic ma
tionalism" which broke down the
social stability within nations" and
contributed to growing "deteriora-
ton of morality in international re-
lations."
He pledged the administration
would continue its effort to expand
its reciprocal trade agreements pro-
gram and added:
I'VE shall neglect no opportunity,
wherever 1t may present itself, to
expand the area of our negotiations.
I'VE must not be diverted from
this essential purpose by the acts or
utterances of those who, intention
ally or unintentionally seek to mis-
lead the public mind into the belief
that our efforts have been rendered
powerless by the unhappy circum-
stances Of today.
Difficult Task.
" - AS the process of postwar
reconstruction begins, the task Of re-
storing international trade relations
on sound basis will be even more
difficult than it has been heretofore
But it will be even more impera-
lively necessary If. after the set
backs and prostrations Of recent
decades, mankind is to resume its
upward climb"
Serious adjustment problems face
American exporting industries, Mr..
Hull said, because of the drastic
restrictions by belligerents of i'm
ports unessential to hostilities.
Additional limitations on export
trade probably will result. he con-
tirued, III we decide to adopt. as
prudent national policy, a course of
action under which our ships will be
kept out Of the zones of danger. - ="
The war also will impose some
difhculty on imports, he added. and
in this respect the Government is
prepared to do its utmost" to re-
move or reduce unnecessary hard
ships for business interests.

Entering the military intelligence
in 1920, he said that from 1921 to
1923 he worked in the third bureau
of the Red Army general staff.
Answering questions by Rhea
Whitley, committee counsel, about
his various connections with the

Europe, particularly Germany"
In long answer as to why he

Party Domination Explained.
Gen. Krivitsky attempted to ex-
plain to the committee today how
Stain dominated the International
Communist party and used it to
support his regime.
"As a formal matter, the Russian
Communist party within the inter-
national party is merely a section,
whose aim is to convince other Sec
tions of the international in other
countries to adopt policies identical
with those of Moscow" he said.
Until 1923 the Soviet government
hoped to bring about revolutions in
other countries Of Europe and the
sections of the party were instructed
to govern their course accordingly.

Weapon for Industrial Rule.
This does not mean that the
government and Stain came to the
conclusion to dispense with the
parties. On the contrary, Stain de-
cided to use them to support his
own internal and foreign policy.
That Stain required the inter-
national to support his own in
ternal policies became clear during
the purges. The Russian people
don't know the position of the In
ternationale-they imagine 1t repre-
sents the working class movement
in other countries.
stain Is able to use the author
ity of the international to convince
the Russian people that the working
classes of the other countries sup
port him In his purge and his war
on the Russian people"
The witness explained that the
international party lis not an or
ganization of autonomous and inde-
pendent bodies" but that "the for
eign Communist parties are MOTH
ing more than branches Of the Rus
sian party"
At this point Counsel Whitley
broke In to say:
When Earl Browder testified be-
fore this committee he stated the
Communist party of the United
States was not subject to control or
domination of any kind from the
Soviet government. Would you
comment, Mr.. Krivitsky, on that
testimony"
Both General Secretaries.
"As have already explained" the
witness replied, the international
party does not consist of auton-
omous. independent bodies. On pa
per, Stain and Browder occupy the
same positions in their parties-both
are general secretaries.
But Browder never has had the
slightest influence upon the Soviet
government. Browder was not re-
sponsible for the purges in Russia
and Browder was not responsible for
the measures of foreign policy taken
by Stain. ..-
"As proof that Browder has no
influence on Soviet foreign policy,
there is the Nazi-Soviet agreement.
Until August, 1899, the line of the
American Communist party was for
collective security and an uncom-
promising fight on Fascism. Twenty
four hours after the pact was signed
Browder reversed his position and
now seeks to popularize the new pol
icy with the American people"

Threefold Purpose.
Informed quarters said President
Cardenas had a threefold purpose
in launching the movement:
1. To carry out his policy Of help
ing nationals in distress at home
and abroad.
2. To increase agricultural pro-
duction of prime foodstuffs, now
said to be insufficient for home con-
sumption.
3. To answer criticism that Mex
leo should aid its own nationals
instead Of refugees from the fallen
republican regime in Spain, of
which approximately 5000 have
come to Mexico. The government
has contended, however, that the
Spsniards came at their own ex-
pense and are taking care of them
selves.
