NEW YORK.-Before the in
l ~ FAINT 1910 becomes a gray
beard his book of contemporary
history may be heavily in
scribed.
The new year is destined to
be the most important in a
decade, a year of supreme
testing for men and their mill
tary machines, for politicians
and dictators whose philoso-
phies and systems are even
now waiting in allegiance until 1910
has spoken its verdict.
You can lay your bottom dollar
that the European turmoil will
crystalize in 1910 to the point where
observers can see definite trends.
Wen probably know, for instance,
whether Nazi Germany can with
stand the pressure of an allied eco
nomic blockade, meanwhile trying
to stave off French-British assaults
on land and sea. Or will Hitler's
machine crack up, the victim of
internal discomfort?

viii Social Security York?

Old age benefits under the fed.
eral social security act will be dis
tributed for the first time, and by
years end America should know il
the plan actually works. The SUI
preme court will receive its fifth
appointment from President Roose-
welt, gaining clear New Deal ma
jority.
How about the Far East? Japan,
balancing precariously on the inter-
national fence since Europe went
to war last September, must jump
one way or the other, siding with
the dictators or the democracies.
Right now she is busy playing both
ends against the middle, trying to
brighten the democracies into line
by smiling benignly on Russia.
The United States is especially
concerned with Asiatic develop
ments because the 1911 trade treaty
with Japan, repudiated last sum-
mer, will become abrogated official
ly on January 26. Before Washing
ton is willing to renew it, Tokyo
must agree to cease threatening
American interests.

What Is Finlands Fate?

Valiant little Finland, whose early
stand against the Russian invaders
was acclaimed throughout the
world, looks forward to 1910 as the
year in which she will retain her
freedom or fall vassal to the Krem-
lin.
It's pivotal year in the Balkans,
too. If Russia succeeds against Fin
land, she'll undoubtedly turn to a
new conquest in Rumania, already
pressed by Hungary. Germany and
Bulgaria. And if that happens the
observers are pretty certain Italy
will join the melee to fight for Bal
kan independence. If these little
states can stay free of war in 1910.
they've little to worry about.
Even as Russia marches in 1910
she will answer the question world
militarists have been puzzling for
the past 10 years, namely, is her
huge army and air force really so
formidable? The Polish invasion,
in which Russia knitted a fleeing
enemy in the back, was no fair
test. Neither were early days OF
the Finnish invasion, because the
hardy defenders were able to out
point Soviet troops under extraor-
binary arctic fighting conditions.

Hoey's Highway
Commits iOners
Back Diversion

Raleigh, Feb. 1.-THE state
highway and public works COM
mission declared today that North
Cardinals highway system needs
all funds available for road pur-
poses," but voted unanimously to
support Governor Hoey's stand
on the transfer, if necessary, OF
100000 from the highway to
the general fund.
The commission, meeting here,
also went on record as favoring
the issuance of $5,000,0OO worth
of bonds by the general assembly
to improve primary roads. The
proposition bears the indorse-
ment of the governor.
The resolution on highway fund
transfer marked the second vic
tory by Governor Hoey on the So
called highway diversion ques-
ton.
Last week, after the governor
had urged the legislature to al
low the transfer in the event of
a general fund deficit, the senate
finance committee gave an I'M
favorable report to "better
roads bill' which would have
pledged the assembly against di-
version.
