THE YOUNG REPUBLICANS
wheeling Intelligencer)

One of the heartening polite
al signs in West Virginia from
a Republican standpoint is the
vigorous functioning of the
Young Republican League.
One of the pioneers in the
Young Republican movement,
the West Virginia League, took
hold in the last campaign in an
intelligent and effective way.
Some of the largest rallies held
in the state we're sponsored by
the Young Republicans. Some
of the best campaign work was
done by them. And among the
most efficient poll workers on
electin day were Young Republi-
cans.
The significant feature of
Younf Republican service, as evi
denced in the campaign in ques-
ton, was that it was carried on
in cooperation with and under
the authority of the regular
party organization. T h is, it
seems to the Intelligencer, is of
the utmost Importance. 1t re-
flutes the idea that the Young
Republicans are engaged in a
Young Turk enterprise; that
they are trying to or desire to
seize control of the party. They
have no such ideas, no such am
billions. They seek merely to adj
vance to the best of their abili-
ty the interests of the party and
the Republican tickle, and reali-
re that they can be of greatest
service functioning as part of
the regular Republican organi-
Zation. .....
What is true of West Virginia
is true in large measure of the
Young Republican movement
throughout the country. 1t is
demonstrating that it simply
an organization to give EXPIRES
sion to, to educate, and to i'm
| plement fir public and party ser
vice, that great body of young
voters who ordinarily take but
little part in political campaigns.
That the Young Republican
movement has become so def
mite 2 part CT the regular Re
I publican organization; that il
: hes taken its place in the coopera
tive effort to advance orthodox
Republican politics, constitute
the strongest refutation of thai
charge so frequently heard tina
our young people are radicals
following for the most part tn,
illusory promises of the New
Deal.

can League of West Virginia i

The ll,930-ton Terukuni Maru
was the first Japanese ship to be
lost since the war began. Four per-
sons, two of them British, suffered
slight injuries. Capt. B. Matukura
told this story of his ships loss on

In discussing possible break in
trade relations with the United
States through abrogation OF the
Japanese American trade treaty, the
former Ambassador expressed the
belief that such a break would
strengthen the trend toward Jap
anese cooperation with Germany
and Italy. At the same time 1t would
weaken the position OF Japanese
favoring cooperation with America
and Britain, he said.
Shiratori cited a final reason
why Japan must cooperate with
Germany and Italy, saying 1t would
be necessary Ito prevent isolation

By the Associated Press,

by the Associated Press
Great Brstain's plan to expedite
American exports to neutral com-
tries may aid her In checking any
flow of American goods to Germany.
The arrangement, announced yes
terday by the British Embassy, pro-
vides for issuance Of certificates to
exporters showing that consign-
ments are "unobjectionable" to the
British. The certificate, called
"Navicerts," will be issued by Brit
ish Consulates beginning Decem-
ber /.
The system amounts to a pre-ex-
animation of cargo and is designed
to prevent delays involved when
British contraband patrols search
vessels. 1t will operate on Ameri-
can shipments to 10 neutral coun-
tries-belgium, Denmark Estonia,
Finland, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, the
Netherlands. Norway and Sweden.
One authority predicted the Brit
ish would maintain central control
over the system in London.
II American shipments to any
neutral should increase substantially
above normal. he explained, the
British might assume that the neu-
tral was permitting their trans
shipment to Germany and might
decline to certify further shipments.
Although the British program will
be voluntary, exporters generally
were expected to accept 1t as a sort
OF insurance against the stoppage
Of American goods by British war
ships.
Acting Secretary Of State Sumner
Welles told reporters yesterday he
could see no reason at present to
regard the navicert plan as an inter-
ference with this Nations neutral
rights.
He disclosed, however, the State
Department advised Great Britain
recently this Government should
not be understood to be indorsing
any principle involving interference
with definitely neutral trade.
