No matter who wins the war now
ravaging Europe. no matter what
kind of a settlement emerges, one
thing is certain. 1t will be followed
by a war for trade scarcely less bit
ter than the military war itself.
Every nation in Europe is fran
tically expanding its productive fa-
cilities. The product of that fren-
zied activity is being shot away in
war. 10 no ones benefit. But when
the war ends and the survivors
flock back home, jobs will be a
necessity. The expanded factories
will await them Tho factories must
run. for tho men must work. They
will produce goods for sale They
must be sold.
Sold they will be, by hook or
crook. by subsidy or barter or poll
tical pressure Every market in the
world will be crowded with them
Into this competitive field, the Unit
ed States will also be plunged
How we'll we shall fare in that
maclstrom depends much on what
We do now. For instance, Britain IS
making heroic efforts to continue TO
export goods in the face OF the war
effort in order TO hold markets and
to provide exchange to buy imports
Yet the United States has already
replaced Britain as chief source OF
Argentinas import trade. Despite
the blockade and sea war, Germany
I'D to February had been contrlVing
to ship to Argentina about one
fourth of her usual export SNIP
monts. The war for trade in South
America has not even been suspend
cd during the military war.
The United States inevitably mas
been showing great gains, largely
at the expense of Germany. but aiSc
at that of Britain. Our exports tC

as compared with 1889. The Import

NOT The ROAD
TOWARD EMPLOYMENT

Governor Olson announced tins week
that he will inaugurate new drive tor
employment by calling together relief
and employment office department heads
to coordinate their activities and make
sure no job is available to man before
he can obtain relief.
Aside from the fact that such pro-
gram should have been in effect since
the beginnng-and was in effect under
the Merriam administration-that is not
the way toward greater employment.
Even though the proposed program were
carried through one hundred per cent,
it would make only minor inroads on the
unemployed lists.
Employment in California will in
crease lust as il will increase through
out the nation, whom business is sure
that it can go ahoad with expansion or

Roosevelt Ready

Gayda, often a spokesman for Ben
ito Mussolini, charged today in the
Giornale DItalia that President
Roosevelt is preparing to bring the
United States into the war on the
side of Great Britain.
Roosevelt has prepared for the
United States to abandon its neu-
trality and directly intervene in the
war at any moment he said.
"Roosevelt's desire to intervene
on the side of England becomes
clearer every day" Gayda wrote.
"On basis of the accord concluded
with Canada the United States has
become England's arsenal. The ces-
sion of so destroyers to Britain
means that a large force is being
employed against the Axis

President Roosevelt increased his

Germany's ambassador to Turkey,
Franz Won Papen, hurried nome TO-

that German troops were moving

A breakdown in telephone COM

Diplomats here were convinced

to exert heavy pressure on Turkey
to prevent her aiding Greece against
the Italian invaders and to force
Greece to Capitulate.
