Congress

Last autumn's election showed the
new congress would be conserva-
tive. But no real test of President
Roosevelt's power was expected un-
til debate began over the 193940
budget, scheduled to boost the u. S.
public debt by So, 1926, 900, 900. More
over congress was apparently will
ing to give the President his $685.
100000 deficiency relief appropria-
ton Immediately, leaving debate
over politics-in-relief to later date.
But all such forecasts are now
disproved. In the relief deficiency
request designed to carry WPA ex-
penses from March / to June 30),
congress saw symbol of continued
big U. S. expenditures. First the
house deducted $3.50, 900, 900. Next the
senate approved the reduced appro-
priation, sending it back to the
house with amendments to curb pol
itics-in-relief. Thus a showdown be-
tween White House and congress
has been precipitated unexpectedly,
but observers could see far more
than mere relief entering the picture.
Left VS.. Right. Apparently ignor-
ing last November's election results,
President Roosevelt has given i'm
portant posts to such alleged left
wingers as Harry Hopkins and
Frank Murphy. Latest appointment
has been that of Thomas R. Amlie,
former Wisconsin congressman, as
member of the interstate commerce
commission. Amlie's advocacy of
production for use" and govern
ment ownership inks congress.
Defense. The White House has
shown several signs of combining
foreign policy with the new defense
program. First evidence was the
plan to fortify Guam, apparently
to force Japan into peace. Second
evidence was the French plane deal
(See AVIATION). Many isolation
ist congressman feel these incidents
show a growing presidential tend
ency to forge entangling alliances
with other powers.

cluded a sizeable budget for army
and navy planes. But congressional
appropriations come slowly; the
White House wanted to give avia-
ton more immediate stimulant.
Brought back from France last
month by Ambassador William c..
Bullitt was news that Premier Ed
Guard Daladier's government would
spend SOS, 000,0 900 on American-built
planes, provided the U. S. gave per-
mission. Here was the immediate
stimulant President Roosevelt
sought, but he kept Frances propo-
sition a secret. First leak in the
plans came when a new Douglas
light diving bomber, scheduled for
entry in army competition, crashed
at Los Angeles. Test Pilot Paul
Cable was killed but congress evil
denced far more interest next day
in the news that an injured passen-
ger was Capt. Paul Chemidlin, rep
resentative of the French air minis

tutes, in my opinion, military al

But as facts were produced at the
inquiry, Senator Clark's fright
seemed far out of proportion. No Sc
cret army aviation devices had been
carried on the ship. More impor-
tant, the bomber was not an army
order, hence there was no violation
of the rule forbidding foreigners to
see or buy airships designed for
army use. Nevertheless the plane
could not be replaced by March /
when competitive U. S. tests are
scheduled. Since the Douglas bomb
er was undoubtedly the fastest ever
developed army chieftains could
rightfully be angry. But what made
them hopping mad was the fact that
Frances plans had been discussed
not with the war department, but
with the navy.

discouragingly anxious that Hitler
should speak no evil of them.
The situation was plain. Britain
and France were ready to appease
once more, because after each sue
cessive appeasement it becomes
more difficult to resist. Boosted No.
NaZi Herman Wilhelm Goering:
"The greater Germany stands erect
amid the world, firmly knit, steel
block of strength and cohesion. Free
is the country broken are the
shackles of the PREPARATIONS system.
The honor and independence of the
nation are safeguarded by the party
and the new German defense pow
err"
These were fighting words, but
neither France nor Britain was will
ing to fight back. Two days before
Hitler spoke, British Prime Min
lister Neville Chamberlain gave his
speech, indicating that far from be-
ing stronger, Britain will resist die
tatorships only under the most I'M
likely emergencies: "Peace could
only be endangered by !. +. de-
mand to dominate the world by
force" This means that little by lit
tie Mr.. Chamberlain is willing to
concede to Italo-German demands.
Completely ignored were the Span
ish situation and Italian claims
against France.
The same day, French Foreign
Minister Georges Bonnet fastened
to make his peace with dictators:
Regardless of the violence of the
Italian press campaign (for French
Mediterranean territories) I have
warm friendship for the Italian peo-
pie" M. Bonnet practically accept
ed Mussolini's demands when he de-
clared Italy had been treated badly
during and after the World war by
France and Britain.
Such tactics fell little short of an
outright invitation for Hitler and
Mussolini to make demands. By
the time Der Fuehrer marched to
the rostrum in Berlin's Knoll opera
house every European ear was
cooked. BY the time he left, Europe
and the world knew what to expect
from Hitler in 1889:
On Colonies. Germany will de-
mand that all her pre-World war
colonies be returned, otherwise the
Reich will remain an explosive fac
tor in Europe" Reason: Germany
must have access to raw materials.
The alternative is to force exports.
On Italy. "War against Italy for
any reason whatever will see Ger
many and Italy side by side," said
Hitler. This statement is expected
to bring an immediate resumption
of Italian claims against France,
though France and Britain may in
terpret it with tongue. in cheek.
'War against Italy" means agrees
sion against Italy, which is farthest
from democratic thoughts. Though
hoping Hitler meant to infer that
he would not assist in aggression by
Italy, London and Paris knew this
was futile hope.
On Other Demands. Allied rep
arations demands against Germany
after the World war were ''unrea-
sonable and irresponsible" Hence
Germany has been forced to make
more competitive efforts in the
world market. limiting at almost
anything, Der Fuehrer dropped the
remark that "forceful redistribu-
ton" of the worlds riches was in
evitable from time to time.
On Internal Affairs. The battle to
overcome the extremely grave eco
nomic condition" has been won with
a terrific" fight but must go on.

clusion could be drawn: That the
