New Horizons

The exhibition, New Horizons in

Stimson's Plain Speaking.
Secretary Stimson rendered In
estimable public service with his
plain speaking before the House
Military Affairs Committee on the
conscription bill. In stressing the
possibility that Britain may be con-
quered within 30 days." the War
Department chief, speaking with the
full knowledge available to our Gov
ernment, asserted without mincing
words that Britain's defeat would
confront this country with grave
danger" of Nazi attack. Nor did
Stimson hedge In suggesting peril
from Japan in the Pacific, as well
as from Germany and Italy in the
Atlantic.
Despite these solemn warnings, the
military service bill faces stiff oppo-
sition in both houses. Only an opti-
mist would today predict the rea-
sonably early passage of any meas
ure representing basic principles of
the Burke -Wadsworth bill. Some
OF the measures most ardent sup
porters will tell you it is President
Roosevelt's failure to support out
right any specific conscription plan
that is making it difficult to rally the
heavy majorities believed to be
available on both sides of the Cap
itol in favor of necessary legislation.
Tall Figures.
Everywhere the country is reading
headlines about the House vote for
10000 airplanes, a two-ocean Navy
and weapons for 100000 troops, to
cost s5,000.00 5000. These are tall
figures. They sound well. But until
Uncle Sam has at his command
trained men enough to run the vast
war machine thus planned, the
money might just as well remain
appropriated. 1t is a million pities
that the emergency confronting the
United States should come along in
an election year. Politicians aspir-
ing to perpetuate themselves in Con-
gress are patriotic and intelligent
Americans, but they are also men
and women with an irresistible I'M
pulse to keep one eye on the No.
vember ballot box, i.e., to do Moth
ing at Washington that might
jeopardize their electoral prospects.
Impending debate in House and
Senate will show to what extent
members are prepared to let truly
national interests take precedence
over private political fortunes. To
their surprise, they may find defense
votes good politics.

New Controller General.
Representative Lindsay C. War
ren's appointment as Controller
General of the United States-offi-
cial title of the jobs uncommonly
popular on Capitol Hill. The law
makes the Controller General re-
sponsible directly and exclusively to
Congress. The underlying theory is
that he shall act as watchdog over
every dollar the Treasury spends
under legislative authorization. Long
active in North Carolina politics and
member of the House since 1925,
Warren thoroughly knows his way
about the Federal highways and
byways at Washington. He has
served an apprenticeship for his new
post at the General Accounting
Office while chairman of the House
Committee on Accounts. It's the
first time the controller generalship
has been held by member of the
lower branch of Congress.
