The general buying picture was
considerably broadened during June.
Preliminary reports showed an ex-
banded volume of steel orders and
a further increase in orders for nom
ferrous metals. Railroad equipment
orders and machinery purchases
were on the upgrade. Activity at
textile mills moved up generally dur
ing the month, while the electric
power output, reversing its seasonal
expectations, rose to approximately
February levels for the first time IL
several years.

PROTECT REFUGEES

If there are any effective legal
restrictions preventing child ref
ugees from England coming to
homes offered them in America,
they ought to be removed.
There is a more cogent question.
Some institutions for the care of
homeless children have experienced
a marked seasonal rise in applica-
tions for adoption around the gra-
cious Christmas season.
At varying later periods the little
darlings don't seem so desirable.
On this ground, usually, the insti-
tuition that gave the child will take
it back, but what is going to hap
pen in similar situation with these
piteous fugitives?
Heaven knows we have such a
terrific burden in taking care of the
millions of our own destitute that
we are not making a very good job
of it, and few if any of their children
are being guaranteed home. But
the plight of little children under
bombing operations is more than
persuasive-it is compelling.
Many good and responsible people
are offering to assume the financial
and personal burden of receiving
these kids. But doesn't confidence in
the whole scheme require provision
now for that possibility?
1t could be either a residual obi
cation against some privately en-
dowed financial reserve, a bonding
of the non-willing hosts to provide an
allowance in case of later incompat-
ibility-or an outright governmental
guarantee.
1t hardly seems likely now that
the amount of money required would
be great, but suppose this war re-
suits, as did the last one, in the
financial ruin of millions of now
prosperous people. A plan for deal
ing with the future lives of little
children. 1t should have no apparent
or practicable loophole.

CHICAGO CHAFF

The Utah and Florida delegations
were divided $3.50 between men and
women-the only such at any major
convention.
DR.. Francis Townsend, old-age
car, attempted to put the bee on
Democratic platform-makers and
candidates as he did at Philadel-
phia, but with no better luck. The
only one to give him a tumble was
McNutt, whom Townsend was boost
ing for vice president.
Chief pluggers for the ''little bust
ness" plank in the platform, prom
ising loans and protection against
big business, were Sen. James Mead
of New York, Chairman Adolph
SABBATH of the house rules commit
tee, Dr. John F. Carruthers, head of
the National Small Business Re
search bureau, and James G. Daily,
president of the National Small
Businessmen's association.
Strange pre-convention visitor to
the national committee headquar-
tiers here was John Raskob, chair
man from 1923 to 1892 and with Al
Smith bolter in 1886. Raskob spent
a half-hour comforting privately with
Farley.
Two most photographed women at
the convention were Evie Robert,
photogenic wife of the secretary of
the national committee, and stately,
white-haired Mrs. Mack, national
committeeWoman from the Virgin
islands.
Two other unusual visitors were
Mrs. Alice Longworth and Forrest
Davis, goateed newsman, both ac-
tive in the nearly successful G. o. P.
presidential campaign of Senator
Taft.
No wonder one of the first things
the national committee did was to
enact rule limiting the number of
delegates at future Democratic con-
ventions. This one has 1904 votes
and 1896 delegates. Three states
sent veritable armies of delegates,
each with a minute lection of
vote. Texas, with 46 IS, sent 1876
delegates; Mississippi, with Is votes,
has 108 delegates; and Montana,
with six votes, has 26 delegates.
One Mississippi district with two
votes elected So delegates.
Pride of Jim Farley at the con-
vention was his attractive, 15-year-
old daughter, Ann, who acts as one
of his secretaries and take her
duties very seriously.
Women played big role in the
Chicago convention; in fact their
most important at any national po-
litical convention. In addition to a
record representation of 500 out of
1000 delegates and alternates, the
women also were well represented
on all the important committees.
Eighteen women leaders in various
fields are acting as an advisory COM
mittee to the platform makers.
Rep. Jack Nichols of Oklahoma
sporting new pair of breath-taking
cowboy boots and ten-gallon hat,
was attending the convention ''just
to show the folks from home the
sights in town" He is not a dele
gate Democratic members of
congress were more numerous in

were three times greater than to

Invasion of England

The last successful invasion Of
England by hostile soldiers was
in 1865, when William the Con-
queror and his army crossed the
English channel from Normandy.
Before that, England was invaded
many times by the Saxons, Danes
and Norsemen. But since the Nor
man conquest all threatened in
vasions have been beaten off by
the British navy.
No attempt was made to invade
the British isles in the First World

struction, which recorded "sub-
stantiaP' inflow of new orders in re-
cent weeks.
The survey said that the "unfavor-
able aspects" of the May business
situation were dispersed "to large
degree" during June. Business and
consumer buying were up, some
what, while commodity prices
showed firmer trends, although no
marked or consistent rise was yet
evident.

The President was right in saying
that the American people are pre-
pared for any sacrifice for total de-
tense. 1t should have begun long
ago.
But dancing merry madrigal
and tossing off billions like bay
leaves isn't total defense. Mr..
Roosevelt's futile solution for every
problem from unemployment to ag-
riculture, from business depression
to defense, is to ask congress for
blank checks for billions.
On the very face of this message,
defense appropriations must have
been wholly implanted. 1t takes, or
it should take, much time and study
to blueprint and then undertake an
industrial production progress of
even ST 1000, 100000. But this is the
Presidents own time table of what
he has aSked-and when.

U. S. ALTERNATIVES

Therefore the United States, in
order to continue any kind of export
trade whatsoever, will have to do
one of four things:
l. Reduce wages to a level approx
inating the starvation standards
paid in Germany.
2. Reduce profits, or eliminate
them altogether, if German prices
are to be met.
3. SubSidiZe industry and virtually
take it over, as under the Nazi, Fas-
cist, and Soviet systems.
4. Create foreign trade monop-
oily. This is what the Russians have
done for more than a decade, and
what the Nazis have been doing more
recently. All exports abroad are
sold through the government and i'm
ports are purchased the same way.
1t is this last system which New
Deal advisers consider least objec-
tionable of the four, and upon which
they are concentrating.
Naturally, the handling of U. S.
exports and imports through gov
eminent monopoly is a long, long
way from the Hull trade treaties.

FOREIGN TRADE MONOPOLY

Washington, ID. G..
FOREIGN TRADE MONOPOLY
More alert mirds in the Roosevelt
administration have been doing
some very careful thinking about
what is going to happen to Ameri-
can trade in the future. The pic
ture is far from optimistic. Here
are some of the things they have
concluded:
After this war is over it is almost
inevitable, if Germany wins, that the
world will be divided into four great
trading areas. They will be:
/. Japan and China, comprising
about $50, 100000 people and falling
under the totalitarian domination of
Japan.
2. Germany, which will exercise
life and death rule over about AGO.
600, GOO people, including all the ma
lions of Europe.
3. Russia, which will govern the
trade of about 200, 900, coo people.
4. The United States, Canada and
South America-if we can still keep
the latter under the Monroe Doc
trine. These will represent about
$50, 100000 people.
In the first three of these economic
areas, foreign trade will be COM
pIetely controlled by government
monopolies. For instance, Germany
operating on slave wage scale
and socialized system, will be able
to cut prices and undersell the Unit
ed States throughout South America.
Already Germany is offering steel in
Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires
for September delivery far under
prices quoted by U. S. steel mills.
Japan, which is sure to industri-
alize China, also will pay slave
wages, and will do the same.
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1940-07-25

Nobody is going to complain about
what defense costs. Nobody ought
to complain about the belated awak-
ening of our great American Dala-
dier or the sound diplomatic, mill
tary and naval strategy both of dem
onstrating that we intend immedi-
ately to make ourselves invincible
and of proceeding to do so. But
this roman candle jugglery with bill
lions isn't going to fool anybody but
the American people.
For what is this money to be
spent? For "naval expansion" for
active and reserve equipment of a
Gland force" of 100000 men and
for $4,000 airplanes-all ''to repel
aggression against the United
States or the Western hemisphere. "
But we twill not send our men to
take part in European wars
How about results from the bill
lions already authorized? excel
lent progress Every week, more
and more is being delivered" That
sounds exactly like the guns and
munitions we have 'fon hand or on
order"
The trouble with every phase of
this message is that it reveals moth
ing except a hint that there is no
plan. That the magnificent figures
were picked out of the air, and that
actual progress is too piffiing to be
described any more definitely than
in the DR.. Coue pollyanna abraca-
dabra "every day in every way ]
grow better and better"
Is there any military or naval
opinion that we can or should pre-
pare to repel aggression anywhere
on the Western hemisphere? 1t is
not on record. A realistic approach
to our defense problem reveals
that, while we can and must become
supreme and impregnable about as
far as the Equator with such
strength as would be a serious threat
to any incursions further south, we
can't underwrite all the weak, I'm
democratic, unfriendly Latin nations
between the Equator and Cape
Horn.
The strictly military problem does
not require 100000 men and, if it
did, it would be folly to provide
facilities to equip them in short or
der. War changes equipment too
fast. If you gear tool up to equip
a million men in two or three years,
you can equip the next million in
six months. If you try to equip the
first 100000 in so short a time,
you risk mountains of obsolete equip
ment and acres of idle plants.
A promise not to send Americans
abroad doesn't mean anything if
your policy invites foreign war.
The American people should not
be fooled into thinking that rearma-
ment is excellent" 1t is not. 1t
could not be. 1t would be a miracle
if we began to get balanced equip
ment in 18 months, and this admins
tration is neither manned, equipped
nor organized to produce industrial
miracles.

the current year, every bureau in

TIES. With Secretary Hull leading
the fight to keep them, and strong

ly demanded? Bitter disagreement
is in prospect.

for amendment; both very hot
potatoes in an election year.

forts to discontinue the committee

judged by his stand on these ant
other issues. Any one of them may
become the outstanding national is

every congressman will be inclin

The Wilmington morning star., 1940-01-04
BUDGET is
KEYSTONE

Every one of these issues, and
others, is caught up in the budget
question: When is this balanced
budget, promised in 1882, and de-
ferred each year since, to be
achieved and how?
The tremendous military Ak
pense suggests drastic cuts in re-
lief, WPA, and regular govern
ment expenses. But. not one of
these a be achieved without a
bitter battle, as the last session
witnessed.
LEGISLATORS will crate %feverishly
for economy in the abstract, but
when confronted with a chance to
knock out (for instance) the 5000
900 900 item for road-building, why
that is something else again.
A rivers-and-harbors bill allot-
ting fat sums for his district can
get votes from the most stalWart
economizer. A farm belt statesman
wants to economic everywhere but
on the farm program, as witness
again the last session; a city repre-
sentative may want economy every
where but in relief, and perhaps
slum clearance.
Because of these things, every eff
fort to reduce the budget, whether
backed by President Roosevelt or
others, will meet severe battling
! at eyerv step.
