President Roosevelt be elected for
a third term. Our N. r. A. anecdote
Is evidence of the Yugoslav popular
interest in the New Deal But in
terest in the social and economic
reforms and experiments OF the New
Deal is an abstract thing. More
vital is the interest in New Deal
foreign policy.
During these days when the world
is choosing up sides, Yugoslavia is
officially playing ball with one team
without tallying any scores against
the other. In short, while the gov
eminent is struggling to maintain
its neutrality and emphasizing its
friendly relations with Germany and
Italy, the masses are fanatically pro-
democrat and anti-aXis.
Fear General War.
Yugoslavs, as much as any one
else, fear another general war. But
they are quite willing to fight to save
their country. They tend to feel
helpless, however, surrounded by
enemies and almost under the crush
ing steamroller of the axis powers.
They can never feel at ease until
that steamroller is chained, they
say, and they add that no man in
the world is making a greater effort
to chain it than President Roosevelt
He knows as we'll as we do" our
friends tell us, that there can be no
peace in the world until this mad
man. Hitler, is stopped. Chamber
lain and Deladier, they are stupid
fools who can see no farther than
their hands. But not your Presi-
dent; he knows that Hitler will
never be satisfied until he is master
OF the world, and that means Amer
lea as well as u.s. Roosevelt is the
only man who realizes that and who
talks back to those gangsters in a
language which they can under
stand"
That is why, since the famous
messages to Hitler and Mussolini.
President Roosevelt has become the
most popular person in Yueoslavia.
II our friends had anything to say
about it, America would become the
benevolent guardian of the world
and Mr.. Roosevelt Americas perma-

|mpenefrab|e Jungle
Called Best Defense
For Panama Canal
Army Stroteeists Urge
Few Open Places
In Dense FoIidee
4y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Army strategists. devising new
defenses for the Panama Canal,
have about decided that one of the
best bulwarks is the impenetrable
jungle fringing the vital 50-mile
waterway.
Maj. Elbridge Colby of the Army
War College said new school of
thought holds that limiting the
number of roads and other open
places in the dense foliage would
make it easier for United States
warplanes to halt any hostile foray
by land against the canal.
Our bombers can do terrible
damage on narrow line targets and
on enemy airdromes, if lanes and
open places be few and easily
found" Maj. Colby reported in the
semi official Military Engineer.
"If the enemy lands, he must clear
spaces for his planes. The Air Corps
can now hit him before he clears
so many that it will be hard to tell
which he is using. When the Air
Corps hits, it catches his planes on
the ground and ruins them.
Easier Target.
Leave the jungle roads. trails
and lanes few. If the enemy comes
along them with troops and i'm
pedimenta. he makes target more
easily found by our bombing planes
than if we had opened up the coun-
try and improved and multiplied the
roads.
Mai. Colby reported that strong
opposition thwarted an earlier pro-
posal that the canal be masked by
letting the jungle overrun the anti
aircraft and other batteries which
protect 1t. along with other open
spaces that were conspicuous targets
from the air.
The officer suggested that the
United States may have delayed
dangerously the canal reinforce
ments for which the current session
of Congress provided $53 ,069. 1853 as a
part of the administration vast
arms program.
In war games Is years ago. he
noted. a Marine force was credited
with the capture of two strategic
points from which locks could have
been put out of commission.
Move Troops Next Spring.
The canals garrison then num-
bered about 10000, and has since
been increased to only l4.904 officers
and men. The first of 272 additional
officers and 1850 enlisted men are
to be dispatched there next spring
Dealing with the possibility of
"quick stab" air raids by fast bomb
ers, Maj. Colby asserted that "a de-
term:ned enemy in sufficient num-
bers could get through and do seri-
Gus damage" This peril, he said,
prompted Secretary Woodring's rec
ommendation that the locks be
bombproofed, and a third channel be
provided for emergency naval traffic
Sabotage would be more difficult
than many expect. he said, adding
that there was no sabotage of vul-
nerable locks and dams during
World War days

Unless atmospheric conditions In

fore next Thursday night, Wash
ington astronomers are going to
miss a good opportunity for a
closeup" view Of that planet
which supplied Orson Welles with
his eerie invaders Of the earth last
October.
Mars will be nearest the earth
Thursday. But for the last two
weeks, as the planet has been whirl-
ing its way nearer the earth, wealth
er conditions have been so bad that
astronomers at the Naval Observa-
tory have been unable to see it.
The thick clouds which have hung
over Washington have veiled the
approach of the planet just as surely
and effectively as If Orson Welles'
Marian warriors had laid down a
smoke screen for another attack
on the inhabitants Of the earth.
But If the weather does permit,
the telescopes at the Naval OBJ
servatory, Massachusetts, avenue at
Thirty fourth street NV, will pick
up the planet for the astronomers
who nightly scan the skies pheno-
mena. The Naval Observatory has
telescopes with l2-inch, 29-inch and
