A COMMISSION FOR
ELLIOTT ROOSEVELT

1t is bit hard to understand why
there is so much furore about the cap
tan's commission bestowed upon Presi-
dent Roosevelt's son, Elliott
II is hard to understand because an
other son of the President, James, has
a similar commission, and got very little
publicity out of it. Yet of the two,
James is the one who has been, a faith
full son, politically. Elliott has disagreed
with his father more than once.
Of course Elliott had no previous mill
tary training, and of course the award
of the captaincy eXempts him from the
draft, but then neither did James have
any previous military training or eX-
perience, and he too is exempted from
the draft.
The third son of the President, Frank
lin ir., is the only one who is entitled
to a commission. He has undergone an
ROTC course and is entitled to a reserve
officers commission as a lieutenant.
1t is extremely unfortunate that none
of the three sons of President Roosevelt
should be subject to the draft, although
all are of draft age We cannot believe
that the President, or even Mrs. Roose-
welt, would Intentionally seek to obtain
commissions for them in order that they
might not have to serve as privates in
the conscriptiOn army alongside mil
lion other young men. We would rather
believe that some over-ambitiouS person
in the war department sought to curry
favor at the White House by making the
commissions possible to the Presidents
two unqualified sons.
We cannot conceive Of Mrs. Roosevelt
approving such an action, because she has
been the most active woman in the nation
in urging young men to meet the neces-
sites of national defense bravely and in
the spirit of sacrifice that is needed to
surmount a national emergency.
We cannot conceive of President Roose-
welt approving such an action because
we believe he should realize his duty to
set an example for other Americans to
follow
Since, through some unfortunate error,
both Elliott and James have received ar
my commissions to which they are not
entitled, we believe the President would
be justified in asking them to resign
their captaincies and place themselves
subject to the draft that will begin Oct

ARGENTINA
HELPS HERSELF
(Wall Street Journ.aD


Proposals to bolster up South Ameri-
can economics by credits from Washing
ton and buying up of surplus farm pro-
ductiOn should be examined before def
mite action is taken. A better solution
to the problem may be in the making.
British and Argentine governments re-
portedly are negotiating in BuenoS Aires
for the purchase of Argentine farm prod
ucts by Great Britain by means of credits
to be advanced by Argentina. Presum-
ably, British investments in Argentina
will be put up as collateral.
These negotiations are the direct re-
suit of two things. One is the Johnson
Act in this country prohibiting loans to
governments in default. British pur-
chases in this country are made for cash
and are limited to manufactured mater
ialS which cannot be obtained in Suffi-
cient quantity elsewhere, such as air.
planes. The other is the determination
of the British government to avoid as far
as possible a repetition of borrowing
abroad for war purposes such as brought
on the thorny war debt problem after
1918.
The suggestions from Buenos Aires
point to a possible purchase by Argen-
tina OF obligations OF its own industries
now held abroad. Payment would be
made out of the wealth which the coun-
try is producing now. 1t is estimated
that Britain has about $500, 100000 in
vested in Argentina and dispatches from
the South American capital indicate that
anywhere from e5,000.0O0 to e40,000,000
of this sum would be involved in the cur
rent transaction.
Permanent benefits would be several.
Current Argentine surpluses would be
effectively disposed of by immediate con-
sumption Argentine balance of payments
in the future would be relieved of the
burden of part of the sum which now
must be devoted to foreign debt service.
The Argentine himself not only would
own a greater proportion of his business
plant but the foreign exchange which
would be released from debt service
would be available for purchase of ma
chinery and other equipment needed in
fuller development of the country And
from our viewpoint also, the position of
the Argentine dollar bonds would be
strengthened. 1t would be easier for Ar
gentina to maintain service.

Whose Fault Will II Be?

How close the United States may
be today to an actual declaration Of
war will be much better determined
by historians 20 years hence.
The people in this country DO not
want war. The will T2t have it if
it can be avoided with honor. But
if Congress is forced to meet some
black day ant declare war against
an aggressor nation. it will be nei-
ther the gcsple nor the government
who will have forced US into the
conflict. Sole responsibility will
rest upon the closed corporation of
Napoleons who have found the rest
of the world too small for their pill
Laying operations.

begin over one incident Rather
it will come after an accumulation

Harold Ickes tangled opcnedly
with Robert twice. Once was in

the engineering and architectural
contract; when Ickes discovered
that l per cent of the firms fee
was stipulated as a return for pro-

that per cert from Georgia's al
lotment. Later, PWA got an ap-
plication for a grant to build o
dormitory at the University Of
Georgia; Ickes discovered that
Roberts firm had the contract,
and that the building was to be a
fraternity hOuse-for Roberts fra
ternity. The application was disal-

MORE PRACTICAL
HIGH SCHOOLS
(Christian Science Monitor)

(Christian Science Monitor)
A committee of educators has report
ed to the American Youth Commission
that actual work experience should be
made part of high school currculums
that courses in social studies should be
expanded, instruction concerning per-
sonal problems be given, and improved
methods of reading be taught The COM
mlttee believes that important needs of
most of the 6,500,00O boys and girls in
high schools of the United States are not
being met but that the hopes fostered
by much of the present system are DOOM
ed to disappointment.
1t is true that the great bulk of the
opportunities open to youth of high school
education today is in more or less mech
anlzed fields of employment. The in
cidence of child Labor laws, wholesome
as is their general effect, leaves count
less youngsters eager for means of learn
ing to do things with their hands and to
see how the worlds work is done. Thus
the coupling of high school training with
llSefui occupations is desirable for manv.,

that the workbench cannot supply all or

APPEASEMENT
Is appeasem,ent dead?

Is appeasement dead?
The next few weeks will show. If the
spirit of appeasement still lives in the
democracies - Great Britain and the
United States-Japan will have a free
hand in the Far East. If appeasement
died after Munich, as our statesmen have
lead us to bclieve, Japan's bluff will be
called
The proof that appeasement is dead
in England will be given if Britain re-
opens the Burma road, grants naval base
facilities at Singapore to the United
States, and embargoes tin, rubber and
cotton to Japan. The proof that appease-
ment is dead in the United States will be
given if this country accepts naval base
facilities at Singapore. embargoes all war
materials to Japan, refuses to discuss
abandoning Hawaiian naval bases, and
refuses to rasume normal trade with
Japan.
For appeasement is not word that
belongs in Europe alone 1t is word

Hollywood S Fads, Fancies and FoibIes

Whenever Miss Temple would DRIFT
over and begin twisting his lapel
or learning on his knee, he'd give
her a shove and mutter, Get away
you little brat!"
And Mama Temple would call
anxiously, "Shirleee! Come here,

This was something absolutely
new, and Shirley loved it. But

So the flustercd Miss Temple
would giggle happily, and after
she had talked glowirgly about the
actor for several days, the elder
Temples decided the Golden Oakie
really must have good heart. In
a few days he began trying to
coach her in ene-stealing-m

other youngster who was trying to

But he did think he might fool

until one day when they were

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. - You
can lock for denials, but the in
side story of Chip Roberts resig-
nation as secretary of the Demo-
cratic rational committee is that
the White House nudged Robert
out.
1t was all done neatly. The adj
ministration's desire to see him de-.
part was never clearly visible.
The Robert issue got really hot
in late August. when there was
read into the Congressional Record
a list of Navy construction con-
tracts on which Roberts Atlanta,
Ga. firm of architects and engi-
neers had received fees of more
than 100000.
Interesting part of the story IS
how that list got into the record

the whole business needed looking

the full details from the Navy De-
partment.
A little later, Virson read the
whole list into the Congressional
record. That brought it all to the
public's attention and the firing
started.
