COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Peace-talk that flowed like oil on
troubled waters was the recurring
theme of President Roosevelt's address
to Congress on "the state of the
Union" Opening with reference to
impact of wars abroad, he en-
phasized the great significance of do
mestic policy and said failure to settle
domestic problems abroad had brought
relationships.
"Our best Defense" he declared, lies
in promotion of the general welfare
and domestic tranquility" No one ex-
poets the U. S. to become involved
in the present wars, he said, adding
the "peace bloc" embraced every man,
woman, and child in America.
Citing dangers of dictator control
of world trade, agreement among
world powers was urged on distribu-
ton of agricultural and manufactured
products. The reciprocal trade agree
ments program, target of many fac
tions, including labor, was upheld as
providing temporary fiexibility "de-
sirable during the existing wars"
| X X X
Defense increases in the national
budget were declared based on COM
mon sense The President revealed
he is asking Congress to levy suf-
ficient additional taxes to meet spend
ing for national defense. All other
important items in the budget show
reduction, he added.
Declaring that national unity is the
Fundamental safeguard of all democ-
racy," he urged it be made to have a
real meaning to all Americans, to fur
ther peace among ourselves. The
Congress was asked to face it's tasks
with "calmness, tolerance, and CO.
operative vision.'
Those who believe Roosevelt seeks
a third term may read into his ap-
peal for enduring peace the implica-
tion that he desires to sit at the peace
table in his present capacity.
Some observers noted that in open
ing a Congress which has promised
of so much controversy on labor legis-
lation, the President made no refer
ence whatever to labor problems as
such. He did touch on the problem
of youth employment, and called fol
continuance of the New Deal "pro-
gram of social Improvement"

The insured workers of Germany
pay about per cent of their wages
in insurance against unemployment
Since the Nazis came into power, il
has not been clear what has happened
to the immense sums which flow into
the national unemployment insurance
fund, but the "koelnische Zeitung'
has now lifted the veil and published
balance-sheet for the national fund
According to this statement, income
for 1887 was no less than 1,751 600,
900 marks, but only II per cent Of
this sum was paid out in unemploy
ment benefit over the same period
The lions share of the income, name
ly, 1,040000,000 marks, has gone tt
the Government, and no attempt il
made any longer to hide the fact tha
this money has been used for wa
aims and has gone into the armament
industry.
The ridiculously small amount of
per cent of total income has been pu
aside as a reserve to meet possible
future unemployment. Up till now
this has been hidden but now that il
openly admitted.

Step Essential to Unite Total Energies
For Port in World Changes, He Says

party system was believed to be a
fundamental plan Of the new state.
A political structure based on
service to the state by all persons,
regardless of status, was outlined,
along with economic, industrial and
educational reforms.
Toshio Shiratori, former Ambassa-
dor to Italy and a strong pro-axis
advocate, who, in January, 1889, was
reported to have urged military alli-
ance with Germany and Italy. was
appointed an adviser to the Japa-
nese foreign office today. Yoshiya
Saito, international law expert, was
given a similar post.
Creating Own New Order.
The Premier said that lin the
midst of world wide disturbance
japan is now going forward with the
unparalleled task of creating a new
order in East Asia" and added:
IF Japan is to bring the China
affair to a successful conclusion
while adjusting herself to the inter-
national situation and is to take an
active part in establishment of a
new world order, she must concen-
trate on this task-total power of
the nation to the utmost degree SO
as to be in position to take, in an
independent manner, swiftly and
resolutely. appropriate measures for
meeting whatever situation may
arise"
This, he went on, requires ma
tional defense structure of the high
est degree" based on powerful in
ternal structure"
consequently there has arisen a
pressing demand for establishment
of new structure in politics, econo-
my, education, culture and all do
mains of the life of the state and the
people.
This indeed is a national demand
transcending any cabinet, faction or
individual. ." Whether Japan
can establish such a strong national
structure will decide the very rise
or fall of the nation"

that recruiting offices would be set
up in Pennsylvania for formation of

control of its own officers.
Strong Pressure by Axis.
The Rome-Berlin axis meanwhile
exerted strong diplomatic pressure
to preserve peace in the Balkans,
where long standing territorial diff
ferences, famed by fresh disorders
and bloodshed, reached a crisis
menacing the great warning powers
vital interests in the southeast.
The Hungarian and Rumanian
foreign ministers were summoned
urgently to Vienna to confer with
axis statesmen tomorrow in an at
tempt to force quick settlement of
their dispute over the rich border
province of Pennsylvania.
At the same time the German
and Italian Ministers to Budapest
and Bucharest departed for home
carrying detailed reports of the Hun
garian-R -Rumanian frontier incident
and the bloody border clash between
Rumania and Soviet Russian troops.
The situation assumed a more
serious aspect yesterday when the
Budapest government accused a
Rumanian pilot of shooting down a
Hungarian bomber 18 miles inside
Hungarian territory and lodged a
formal protest against what it called
a ''murderous. unprovoked attack"
No Immediate Reply.
IS The protest brought no immediate
reply from Bucharest, where it was
said it would be handled through
the regular diplomatic channels"
A Rumanian government spokesman
asserted the Hungarian plane prob
ably was a craft which he charged
had been dropping inflamatory prop
aganda leaflets over Transylvania.
Some observers expressed be-
lief that the German-Italian de-
sire for speedy settlement of the
Rumanian-H Hungarian dispute was
inspired by anxiety lest Russia take
advantage of the situation to ex-
tend herself further in the south
east.
Official sources in Berlin and Mos
cow have repeatedly denied, how
ever, any anxiety over possible con-
flict of their respective interests in
the Balkans and have characterized
as propaganda intimations to this
effect from abroad.

TOXIC, Aug. 28.-Premier Prince
Fumimaro Konoye told Japan today
she must adopt a new national
structure to unite the total ener-
gies of the state and the people" SO
as to take an active part in the
establishment of new world order"
He spoke to a group of rs political
leaders forming a committee charged
with organizing the new structure"
in the wake of the dissolution of all
Japan's old political parties.
The premier has been expected
since taking Office July % to estab-
lish a totalitarian regime. But his
abstract phrases today left doubt as
to the exact form of the new struc-
ture" and some observers thought he
took pains to avoid the appearance
of following European totalitarian
patterns (such as the Fascist or
Nazi parties).

He declared that there must be a
solid nationwide structure wherein

BUCHAREST, Rumania, Aug. 20.
"A mixed Rumanian-R Russian COM
mission began investigation today of
frontier clash which is reported
to have caused the death Of hum
dreds Of soldiers near Adancata In
Bucovina.
Meanwhile government officials
confirmed previously denied reports
that Russian plane, making q
reconnaissance flight over Rumania
yesterday afternoon, was shot down
and fell onto the Dorohot-
highway.
They also said that about the
same time a Rumanian plane was
fired on by Russian pursuit plane,
but escaped into the clouds.
In another aerial clash two Soviet
planes were reported shot down
yesterday by six Rumanian fighters.
Russia Closes Border.
These developments cast q new
troubled light on relations between
Rumania and her great neighbor
to the east, who demands she sought
to appease in June by ceding Bessa-
rabia and Northern Bucovina.
Russia was reported to have in
tensified the strain by closing the
frontiers of the occupied territory to
prevent any return of Rumanians
except under strict control. Thou
sands had fed before the advance
of Red Armies of occupation.
Rumanians in occupied territory
were said to have been ordered to
turn in their Rumanian currency to
provide railway fare for their refugee
countrymen wishing to return.
The financial commissar of the
Russian Moldavian republic, with
which BesSarabia and Northern
Bucovina were incorporated, was re-
ported to have demanded that the
Bucharest government turn over to
the U. S. S. r. all pensions due to
Rumanian railway employees now in
the occupied territory. This amounts
to more than $4,000 900.

over wide range from Northern
Italy to Ethiopia were acknowledged
today by the high command, which
also reported that Italian flyers had
carried out a violent daylight attack

age mentioned was one farmhouse,
which was set on fire. One British
plane was reported shot down.
British bombers attacked the Lii
byan seaport of Derna, where an
italian lumber ship was hit. Some
additional damage, resulting in the
death of two persons and injuries to
five others, was acknowledged.
British bombs also fell on ma
tive hospital at Harar, Ethiopia, and
on another hospital at Dessye, where
were killed and 20 wounded, the
communique said. Nine inmates Of
a prison at Massaua, Eritrea, were
said to have been killed when British
bombers raided that city.
One more British plane was re-
ported downed in these raids.
The raid on Haifa was the fourth
reported by the Italians since they
entered the war June 10 and ap-
parently was aimed at immobilizing
British ships and planes in the Med
