EUROPE:
august Crisis?

Continental crisis have come with
such regular frequency the past
year that most Americans have be-
come bored with them, confident no
boil will ever burst. By early July
this sentiment was also felt in
France and London, despite Nazi
war counsels at Hitler's Berchtes-
gaden retreat and mysterious 60
ings-on in Danzig, which is Germa-
ny's next goal. No such confidence
was felt by Paris and London Off
cialdom, however. There were init
nations that the most serious crisis
yet is expected in August, delayed
simply because German and Italian
farmers must harvest their wheat
before going to war. BY that time
both Nazi and Fascist war maneu-
vers will bring dictator armies to
their peaks.
Neither Premier Edouard Daladier
nor Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain will confirm this fear, but
confirmation is needless in view of
preparations:
Britain. Summer leave for the
home fleet has been advanced from
August to July because of deci-
sion to hold exercises in August"
More than 100000 officers and men
of the territorial army like Ameri-
cas- national guard) have been in
structed to pack their furniture and
wind up personal affairs before re-
porting for annual training period
in August. A white paper" an
nounced an SO, 300-man increase in
the standing army. Meanwhile the
first $4,000 conscripts under the uni
versal service law were ordered to
report July Is. Trial "blackouts"
were planned at strategic points
throughout July, followed by big
"blackout' smothering half of Eng
land August and 10.
France. After telling parliament
of a propaganda plot to split France
and Britain, Temporary Dictator
Daladier recessed his audience for
the summer, but warned that an out
break of war was momentarily pos
sible, hence parliament might be
recalled at a moments notice. With
an estimated 100000 armed men
on his borders, M. Daladier placed
the nation on full war footing.

Voting Usually Reflects
Sentiment of the People

So the circumstances as we have
seen fail to do credit either to the
President, or the senate Republicans
or the senate New Dealers. 1t was
pretty low grade of politics, but
it disclosed one thing: there is rath-
er large representation in the house
and the senate which has tagging
confidence in Mr.. Roosevelt. Now,
pursuing that further, I have noted
the usual voting of house and SEN
ate rather reflects the sentiment
throughout the country.
I think this lack of confidence in
Mr.. Roosevelt is further shown by
the long drawn-out battle over what
powers the President should have in
dealing with international problems.
Mr.. Roosevelt has asked for rights
that would let him designate "war
zones" and would permit him to
order Americans away from them.
He has sought to obtain legislative
authority to sell arms and munitions
if they are sold for cash and car
ried away from our shores by boats
of the purchasing nation.
Some of the things he has sought
seem to me to be reasonable, but
the house has not thought so, and /
expect the senate will have many
words to say about them also. There
is so much stalling and maneuver-
ing and efforts to save political faces
that certain conclusions are inescap-
able. / referred to the lack of con-
fdence in Mr.. Roosevelt displayed
in several ways. 1t is perhaps more
manifest with respect to the neu-
trality question than in any other
way. Indeed, it has been gossiped
around Capitol Railways for couple
of months that congress will not adj
journ as long as international crises
are popping around like frecrack-
ers. That, of course, is an exag-
geration; but it is not exaggeration
to say that considerable number
of senators and representatives do
not want to leave Mr.. Roosevelt an
entirely free hand in international
dealing.

White Perjury

All falsehoods told on the wit
ness stand are not punishable as
perjury. When lie relates to
some immaterial matter, no
crime is committed. Also, one
who loses a case by perjury can
not sue the lying witness. Any
prosecution for perjury belongs to
the government in whose court the
trial took place and is based not
on the damage to the victim but
on the abuse of public Justice
Golfers.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-07-13

to ban such shipments, profit-con-
scious democracies and dictator
ships have no moral computations
about such things; scrap iron or any
other material of Mars is sold
abroad to the highest bidder until
domestic rearmament demands
that it be kept at home. Samples:
Last month Britain's liberal Lord
Davies told how scrap iron and
steel exports from the United King
dom to the Reich rose from 1850
tons in July, 1888, to 1900 tons in
August, 21,0O0 tons in September
(month of the Munich crisis) and
$4,000 tons in December.
France gave Germany $50 tons of
pig iron last August when the Czech
crisis was just rising, gave her 49,
600 tons in September when the cri-
sis was at its peak, and $4,000 tons
in November. In March, when
Germany took Bohemia, Moravia
and Slovakia, France still had no
computations, selling the Reich
$1,000 tons.
Still more revealing are Ger
many's 1888 foreign trade Stats
tics, showing that 1,O59,8OO tons of
Germany's total 1,146,027 tons of
1888 scrap iron came from Bel
GUM, Luxembourg, France, Great
Britain, Holland and the U. S., all
potential enemies. In March, 1889,
the same countries contributed 161,-
344 tons, which would make 1886, 1913
tons if the same import level were
maintained throughout the year.
From the U. S. in 1888 came 462, 1872
tons; in March, 1889, came 20,175
tons.

Their Own Medicine

There is an old proverb which
says: "The cobbler's family go
the worst shod." Probably he's
too tired at the end of the day to
worry about repairs to his own or
his family's shoes. What about
other trades?
The strenuous life of butchers
demands the eating of plenty of
meat. Very few vegetarians, if
any, follow the butchers profess
sion. Tobacconists are general
ly heavy smokers.
Sweetshops give permission to
their employees to eat whatever
they fancy. Most of the girls sam
pie every new sweet that comes
in. Investigation proved that
while some girls are inveterate
sweet eaters, others are soon sur
feited. Most opticians wear glasses.

partment to head the division of ter
ritories and island possessions,
which heretofore maintained juris-
diction over Hawaii and few other

But July found this anti-imperi-

an enlarged division of territories
and islands which smacks of Great
Britain's colonial office" For the

The fight was between two
heavyweights, Puncher Smith and
Killer Jones. In the first round,
Puncher hit the floor hard five
times, and just before the bell
went down for a full count.
The winner was rushed to the
mike where he said a few modest
words. By this time Puncher had
come to, and staggered to his
feet. The announcer coaxed him
to say a few words.
Puncher tried to keep his knees
from collapsing. He heard sounds

No Attack Made by Anyone
Upon Sterilization Fund

While Mr.. Roosevelt was only
temporarily defeated in his pro-
gram for control of the money of the
country, it might be well to review
the shallow argument he put up as
the reasons why the emergency"
powers should be continued. He
said, for example, that taking away
his control of the dollar and the
right to subsidize silver was like
laying up half of the navy's ships
in the navy yards. I do not follow
that analogy, so I will forget about
that one. The other argument was
that withdrawal of the power to de-
value the dollar would place the ma
TONS currency again in the hands
of the Wall Street gamblers. Mr..
Roosevelt said they would speculate
in currencies and that there would
be trade wars again. 1t was the
same old story: When you have no
other goat, jump on Wall Street.
But it is well just here to point
out one phase of the situation that
resulted largely from the stubborn
ness of the President. Throughout
the battle with the senate over the
so-called monetary bill, there never
was an attack by anybody upon the

MEDICINE:
Cancer

Standard treatment, but no sure
cure for cancer is 200-volt X-ray
treatment. Ten years ago DR.. AL
bert Soiland of Los Angeles began
experimenting on animal and plant
tissues with half-million volt X-rays,
finding no visible difference in the
biological effectiveness of the heavi-
er ray. Only obvious result was
that higher voltage penetrated deep
er, with less burning of skin. Gin
ically, DR.. Soiland found something
else. Reporting at Oslo, Norway,
to the Northern Society for Medical
Radiology, he said hundreds of can
GERS have been cured by the heavi-
er ray after the 200-volt charge had
failed. His conclusion: "a biologi-
cal difference in action must exist
if the final analysis is drawn from
observations based on clinical facts.

PHILIPPINES:

World economists have long emu

which even now are undergoing an

not want the Philippines, moreover
why such a conquest would be mill
tarily and financially impossible.

adviser to the Philippines. Asked

Macarthur admitted there were $50

Jams, Jellies-Byproducts

The 1000 miles of farm tree
