Economic Plight Held
Reason Axis Excused
Spain From Fighting
Nation CoIIed So Short of
VituI Needs Venture
Might Be Disastrous
B, the Associated Press.


MADRID. Oct. 2.-Spain's eco
nomic situation, so stringent that
a military venture might have been
disastrous, probably was the reason
the Rome Berlin axis has excused
her from immediate active partici-
patton in the European war, in
formed sources said today.
They asserted that a careful study
was made of the possibilities of
Spain's supplying her vital neces-
stiles during the winter and the con-
clusion was that she is so short of
food and fuel and certain other
raw materials that she couldn't have
fought successfully If she had
wanted to.
Perhaps, too, it is suggested by
some Spaniards. the German gen.
eral staff remembered that war on
the Iberian Peninsula was the
beginning of the end for Napoleon.
Spaniards welcomed the word
that Spain is to continue as a nom
belligerent.
The extent of her collaboratio
with the axis, with which she has
been allied since German and
Italian forces helped Generalissimo
Franco to victory in March, 1899,
had been the question, it was said.
Against Spains strategic import
ance in Mediterranean warfare was
the disadvantage of lengthening a
coast line already very long for axis
defense. The economic factors ap-
parently sealed the decision.
Many people were saying that the
civil war had given Spain enough
war for long time-this despite
the recent clamor in the press for
an active partnership with the
Rome Berlin axis.
Last nights newspapers did not
publish the report by Stefani. Off
cial Italian news agency, that Spain
would not be involved as a bellig-
erent and the version for morning
papers, as delivered by the official
Spanish agency. E. F. E., was some
what watered down.

Henry L. Stimson, and Secretary of

The N.A.A.C.P. pointed out that
colored men are prevented from enlist

mess corps, and from most branches of
the Army with the exception of a few
segregated units. "The new defense

REPUBLICANS ON THE
g., MARCH u
Dodging Not Only Danger

Elliott Roosevelt, son of the
President, without experience,
training or known technical
ability, has been appointed a
Captain in the United States
army, thus safely removing
himslf-by White House infu-
ence-from danger of the draft.
Sons of other men, better
qualified by education, training
and experience for posts of such
responsibility, are left to face
CONSUMPTION that the President
said would draft men without
fear or favor, taking the rich
and poor, the high and low -
but not Elliot.
He has been given a commits
sion which Army men must
J work 20 years to obtain. He is
safely removed from the dangers
of the front line, if that line
ever has to be manned by A
merican boys again. He will be
safe in a bomb-proof job at
home, buying supplies for the
Army. =. :.
| Danger of front-line service
under fire is not all he has es-
capped. Other boys as well-born
as well educated, as we'll quaifi-
ed for commissions as Elliot, will
be drafted. They will be rooted
out of the customary grooves OF
their lives and yanked out OF
their jobs; ripped from theil
families. They will be sent in.
to camps where theirs will be
the lives of goldfish in glass
bowls.
There will be no private
quarters for them-like Elliot's
there will be no tailored uni
, forms of soft serge. They will
Dunk with the bunch and lik,
1t; and they'll wear rough wool
lens and hobnail shoes. Elliot
will ride in an automobile: tn,
draftees will drive the "hone,
wagons" in camp and do all tina
other unpleasant scavenpe
work that has to be done-lat
rine duty kitchen police, guarc
and fire duty.
The draftees will eat wba
the cooks sling into their mess
kits, or go hungry. Elliott will
eat in the officers mess Just a,
ne would in a restaurant. TIL,
conscripts will draw $50 ;
I month (about), less the usua
a4otments" deducted for in
Surance and other things: Ell
hott will pocket 5000 a month
base pay and in addition a gooc
many more dollars for "allow.
ances." Such is the fairness
Of the draft pledged by Presi.

vigorously to all but members

Will West Virginia fathers
