Practical Results
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

That the good neighbor policy produces practical results is seen in the current visits of Latin Amer- can military leaders to study the United States de- lenses and to engage in staff talks This is one in dication but highly important one, that the idea of dealing equitably with our neighbors is not con- fined to fine phrases.
 Before the European war South American army men looked to Germany and Italy for inspiration Almost every nation was host to an army, a naval air mission from of the totalltarlan states American missions were as scarce hens teeth. The war changed all that But this would not have been possible had years of effort gone into the building of confidence in the United States inten- tions Suspicion of the colossus of the north was gradually evaporated.
 Today there is American military mission ln every republic south of the border Already Latin American army have reached an understanding on how their forces will cooperate with those Of the United States in time of trouble. Young officers who formerly went to Europe to acquire not only a knowledge of tactics but something of totalitarian politics as well, are sent to schools in the United States. Not only do they gain a frst-hand knowledge of American military methods which is invaluable in coordinatng hemisphere defense, they cannot escape absorbing something of the American spirit of freedom and democracy.
 Latin Americans have no more desire to be dominated by the Nazs than have the North Ameri- cans Greater inroads have been made by Italian nd German propaganda because of the economic de-
 ndence of those republics on the European market. Now that this is shut they rapidly breaking the

PANAY INCIDENT

The plan of long distance naval blockade against Japan was revived once more before war broke out in Europe-at the time of the Panay incident in December 1888.
 At that time Admiral Leahy, Chief of Naval Operations, reported to the President that the Navy was better prepared than ever before and could cut off Japan's fuel oil, iron, copper and cotton almost without the help of Great Britain. However, the British, who had a gunboat sunk by the Japanese si- simultaneously with the Panay, were anxious to cooperate.
 The decision as to whether the embargo blockade would be revived again was made in the office Of Secretary Hull one Sunday after noon Admiral Leahy was present; also Hugh Wilson, who believed in appeasement toward Japan.
 Leahy argued that the Japanese were bound to cause trouble sooner or later, and that the United States had best starve out her military machine now, when conditions were favorable and before the British be- came involved in Europe.
 Hugh Wilson. on the other hand, paced up and down the room argu- ing that such a move meant war. In the end he became so wrought up that he had to lie down on Hull's couch to rest.
 The decision finally went against Leahy. And now, two years later, with the British fleet fighting a desperate battle in European waters and unable to help in the Orient; with the French defeated and French naval bases in Indo-China virtually in the hands of Japan, the

many other journals must hold their noses while they write the stuff they have been turning out of late for their big business overlords.
 The Seattle Times of course, was never noted for it's fairness It is publishing every day on
 its editorial page the most vtrioic and unreasoned column of editorial comment ever to come to our notice Everything that happens in the nation or abroad everything is turned into either smear for Roosevelt or a halo for Willkie The Republican candidates very obvious downhil slide in the est nation of the people of the United States is first denied as propaganda, then blamed on the under handed connivng of the Democrats, who, all readers of The Times know, just about four notches below Hitler and Mussolini.
 The open defection of Time and Life magazines is sckening to thousands who have placed all but unshakabe faith in their objectivty many years The method of Time now whenever it receives publish the letter alongside another calling it down for favoring Roosevelt We don't accuse Time of manufacturing the latter class of letters, but we do accuse Time of selecting any provocative journal of nationwide crcuation must select from its bulg ing mailsacks, only those which serve its purpose of clothing virtue which is gone. We weep for Time and Life, for we respected them highly. Of course Russell Davenport, editor of Fortune another magazine of the Time family, is Willkie's manager In this connection, letter of Editor Henry Luce of recently to our attention Sic transit gloria

BRUSSELS CONFERENCE

| However, it was revived again month later after the Mediter- ranean crisis had calmed. In prep aration for the second attempt, President Roosevelt delivered his famous Chicago speech in which he warned the American people that the time might come when they would want to impose quarantine against an aggressor nation.
 Shortly thereafter. a conference of the Nine Poowers which had guaranteed the sovereignty of China "a treaty initiated by Charles Ev- ans Hughes and Warren G. Hard ing at the Washington conference in1921-was called at Brussels Nor man Davis, who headed the Amer ican delegation to this conference, stopped at Hyde Park before he sailed. The President told him to go the limit in moulding public op- inion and putting into effect tn. original peace machinery against Japan.
 In conformity with these in- structions, Davis wrote the first draft of his speech while on the steamer en route to Brussels, and radioed it back to the State De- partment for approval. He was amazed to receive back a complete ly rewritten version from which all the teeth had been extracted. So his opening speech sounded like a Sunday School sermon.
 Prom that poir. on, every move Norman Davis attempted at Brus- sels was stymied by the State De- partment. The British once again proposed the plan of cutting off Japan's war materials, but Davis had to reply that his government had changed its mind.
 When he returned he found that his speech had been rewritten by Hugh wilson, later Ambassador to

 Good and evil planetary influ- ences conflict today in a manner that should encourage caution in important affairs. The stars smile upon merchants and manufactur CTS and seem to promise much to women
 Heart and Home This is a day for promoting important matters connected with the family vel fare. It is fortunate for initiative Girls will find good luck in what ever contributes to professional or business advancement. It is also suspicious for love affairs. but let ters should be written with cau- ton. There may be labor troubles affecting women employees.
 National Issues: Rescue work for war victims will meet obstacles, but many will be overcome. As food problems grow serious, there will be surprising cooperation that promises to relieve dictators of odium as well as heavy responsl- bilities. The power of the democ- racy of the United States will be illustrated in ways that reveal minor weaknesses to be corrected under tests. The nation is to un- dergo severe experiences, if the stars are rightly read. t
 Business Affairs: Continued pros perity will be enjoyed in this couil- try which will benefit through wise trade agreements and new com mercial outlets. International bank ing will. cause new problems. Amer ican financiers must exercise great foresight. Self -sufficiency among governments and peoples of North and South America must be at- tained as far as possible without delay.
 International Affairs Secret plans affecting the United States are to be carried out, but they will not conform to any of the guesses made by expert news interpreters. Surprises, so long predicted in war moves, will continue to aid Hit ler's policies. Some sort of truce or compromise will be negotiated as screen for future aggression on this hemisphere.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of good fortune. There will be success full deals but nasty decisions should be avoided.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be lucky all through life for they will combine fine personal attributes with great talents.

SUPPORT-AND IT IS NEEDED

When The New York Times says it's going to support Willkie for President it it. Witness The Times headlines the story of the latest Gallup poll, gaugng the opinions of voters as of October l. The Times, in small type page 45, puts this head the Gallup story:
 "Roosevelts Lead Mounts in Survey Gallup Study Gives Him 499 Electoral Votes to 32 for Will ke. BUT RACE IS STILL CLOSE
 Brother, that's what's meant by support.
 On the same page of The Times, Republican National Chairman Joseph w Martin is interviewed in attempt to offset the legitimate Gallup story. Martin attacks the Gallup figures "preposterous' and says private figures sent to him by Republican organizations and independent sources show Wilkie leading in Oregon and Minnesota, which were among 42 States awarded to the President in the Gallup survey
 Dr. George Gallup whose election predictions since 1886 have proved to average less than four percent in errors from all causes, says in issuing the figures that despite MT. Willke's opening campaign tour, which took him through large part of the West and Midwest President Roosevelt is slightly stronger in current institute tests than he was in mid September" At that time the Gallup poll showed the President with 453 electoral votes and Willkie with 78 Only 266 electoral votes are necessary for election
 In the latest Gallup poll started September 20 and concluded October 3, representative groups of voters in all States asked: "If the Presidential election were held today would you vote for Willkie or Roosevet?" The President got 56 percent of the popular vote and all States except Nebraska, Maine Vermont, North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas
 The Times is not the only old and distinguished newspaper prosttung itself this fall for the Willke cause" The number of papers and magazines which have turned their backs the tenets of objective journalism in order to give their all for the Republican candidate is enough to make any newspaperman a little ashamed for his profession The reporters of The New York Times, Time maga- zine, Life magazine and The Seattle Times, among

tions, a plan was evolved whereby the United States, Britain and France invoked the peace machin- cry of the League of Nations and the Nine Power Pact guaranteeing the sovereignty of China. Back bone of the plan was long distance Admirals of the U S. Navy and the British Admiralty. Under this plan British warships at Singapore and U. s. ships along the California coast and Panama undertook to starve out the Japanese military machine by cutting off scrap iron, copper, cotton. fuel oil and gaso- line.
 Japan, absolutely dependent upon these raw materials, has to get them either via the United States or via Singapore. And because Of the long distances between Japan and Cali fornia, and between Japan and Sin gapore tseven days sailing it would  have been impossible for the Japan csc fleet to attack either the Brit ish or American navies.
 The element of distance was the essence of the plan. And Admiral Leahy, who helped conceive it and was head of the Navy at that time, estimated that the Japanese war machine would be starved out in three months without the United States or Britain losing anything save few gunboats on the Yang tzc.
 With some misgivingS the State Department finally OK's the idea, and the British detailed four ba,t- tleships, twelve cruisers and twen- ty destroyers to sail through Suez to Singapore.
 But just at that moment the summer of 1937-the Dictators of Europe. playing just as close ball with Japan as today, started their submarine piracy campaign in
