is indicated in the preliminary
report of the Dies Committee or
Un-American Activities.
Evidence thus far obtained by
the committee, the report says
supports the conclusion that sew
eral foreign powers have agents
in the United States, propagan-
dizing the American people in
the effort to shape the foreign po-
Icy of the nation
The committee puts forward,
for the first time in an Ameri-
can official document, what is
generally believed in Washing
ton to be the ultimate purpose of
foreign propagandists, particular
ly those of the Nazi government.
That purpose is to make is easier
for the governments of Germany
and Italy, particularly, to obtain
control of the resources of the
United States in case they sue
coed in vanquishing Great Bri-
tain and France.
In the case of communist pro-
paganda emanating from Russia,
the committee holds, the special
interest of the Moscow govern
ment is that the democracies of
the world and the totalitarian
governments shall destroy each

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5 auto
caster)-War has superseded po-
litics, at least for the time being,
in the minds CT official Washing
ton. A dozen questions of vital
national interest are being ask
ed, and the answers are as var
ious' as the questions. All relate
to the possibility or probability
of the United States being drawn
into the European mess, whether
we want to go to war or not, to
just what we can do to keep out
of war, and how great war in
Europe ould affect us if we were
not participants.
Recent events have disclosed
facts previously unknown to the
public about the preparations
which cur Government has been
making in anticipation of war,
whether involving us or not
Much has been said and written
about the completeness of our
program of national defense, but
the recent war games in which
the regular army and the ma
tional guard participated have
disclosed that we are nowhere
nearly as ready to fight as people
had supposed.
Serious Deficiencies
The Chief of Staff, General
Hugh A. Drum, has been out
spoken in his criticism of the un-
preparedness and lack of training
of the national guard units, and
has poited out serious deficien-
cies in the military equipment
both of the citizen soldiery and
the regular army. We are short of
mobile artillery, of anti-aircraft
guns and of coast-defense artil-
lery, according to high army Of
ficerS, some of whom are much
more outspoken than General |
Drum.
Official Washington is fully |
aware of the almost unanimous !
desire of the people of the Unit
ed States to remain at peace, but
in many quarters the question is ;
raised as to whether that is pos /
sible under certain circumstances
which might easily arise.
While public and official SYM
pathy with the so-called demo-
cracies of Europe as against the
relationships is so we'll under
stood as to be taken for grant
ed, can we avoid acts which !
could be interpreted as taking
sides?

in the conquest of the free ma
tons by the totalitarian govern

ments, retaliations against the
United States might quickly fol-
low if any official action by our
government could be given the
color of unfriendliness to the
victors. Such retaliationS might
not take the form of direct war
against the United States.
Watch South America
In the opinion of many high
officials a victory by Germany
or Russia or Italy, or their COM
bined forces, over France and
Great Britain, would be followed
by attempts to colonize or even
assert territorial authority over
parts of South America. In that
case the United States would be
obliged under its treaty obliga-
tons and the historic Monroe
Doctrine to resist, by whatever
force might be necessary, any
such invasion of any part of
America.
The possibility that a victory
by the Central Powers might re-
suit in the transfer of sovereing-
ty over Canada is one which is
also being given serious consid-
GRAFTON here.
What sort of acts might be in
terpreted as giving aid to one
side as against the other nobody
can foretell, since nobody can be
sure that truth and honesty will
govern the decisions and acts of
some of the great powers. Recent
European events indicate the
contrary.
The reason which actuated
Congress in refusing to amend
the Neutrality Act to accord with
the Presidents desire was the be-
lief that, if so amended, it would
lead to our lending support to
one side which was denied to the
other side, and so would increase
the likelihood of our involvement
in war.
But the neutrality law as it,
stands, unamended, still leaves
through which the Ex-
ecutive could favor one side.
The law gives the President
