Stalls Rome's Autos

ROME P).-Italians, although spared
war itself, are experiencing war condi-
tions.
Bicycles have largely replaced automo-
biles in the streets of Italian cities, be-
cause of the ban on private motoring and
the high price of gasoline-about 95 cents
a gallon-to conserve the precious stocks.
Many automobile owners, with their
cars locked in garages, have taken to
cycling. Even men of position are af-
fected. One of the architects who de-
signed the Italian building at the New
York Worlds Fair is an example. AL
though fairly elegant Roman, who for
merly dashed about town in an open cab
riolet of racy lines, he now cycles from

Refugee Colonization
In Alaska q Prospect

Secretary Ickes of the Interior is seek
ing legislation to make Alaska a prom
ised land for European refugees.
In substance, the proposed bill would
permit organization of colonial develop
ment companies based on the idea Of
the Hudson Bay Co. and East India
Co. in pref Colonial days. Each would
be given particular tract in Alaska
to develop and would be permitted to
bring refugees from Europe in excess of
immigration quotas.
Mr.. Ickes first began plugging to have
Alaska opened up to Jewish refugees a
year or so ago. At that time they were
the only refugees available in mass
quantities. Now the idea is that Poles.
Films Gf they are overwhelmed and
Norwegians might like to come in.
They would be restricted to life in
Alaska until their numbers came up on
the immigration list, when they would
be privileged to apply for full citizen
ship, like any other immigrant. The last
is still tentative provision in the frame
work of the bill.
The development companies probably
would be largely philanthropic in nature,
as the Matanuska colony has demon
strated that making money out of de-
velopment colonies is no snap job in
Alaska, regardless of how brightly it is
being painted these days.
The Ickes idea is that privately run
communities would not be nearly so ex-
pensive as Matanuska.

Despite the desperate fight they've
put up. the weight of numbers and
material is crushing through their
heroism and unless more help is forth
coming soon from outside, the fate of
Poland may overtake them. Ten thou
sand Swedish volunteers will be helpful
in filling up gaps in the line. But
they are not numerous enough to make
up for inevitable losses in the coming
battles. If the response in Britain and
elsewhere is equal to the enthusiasm
for the cause, it might well influence a
decision. We should then gradually be
drawn into indirect conflict with Russia
and the situation might suddenly
change. There would be a demand
from the nations sending volunteers
that their respective contingents in men
should be backed by adequate material.
U. S. May Be Involved.
Almost imperceptibly Britain, France,
find themselves actually at war with
the Soviet Union. The latest news from
Finland indicates that help may arrive
too late.
1t is the story of Poland over again.
All that will have happened will be that
we shall have antagonized Russia with
out saving Finland.
The relations of Germany and Russia
are now approaching those of a defen-
sive. if not also an offensive, alliance.
If it develops further under the stress
Of our feeble but provocative activities
In the Finnish war, we may find the
world plunged into vast conflict rang
ing over two continents. I fail to see
how the third continent, with it's 80
per cent sympathy for Finland, can in
the end keep cut of it. 1t is just as
well that President Roosevelt should
send an emissary to Europe to inform
him as to the real position there.

Domestic Front

the Democratic convention and its con-
clusions.
1t is fairly obvious, therefore. that
whether Mr.. Roosevelt or his enemies
control the Democratic convention, the
moderate course of the Western liberals
would tavor a platform with an appeal
wider than that which the Eastern con-
servatives would write. For whether Mr..
Roosevelt owns or controls the conven-
ton, the unemployment issue may easily
become the paramount domestic issue in
the campaign. And with Mr.. Roosevelt
on the ticket. off the ticket, controlling
the ticket, or defeated by the Democratic
convention. it will be wise for the Re-
publicans to raise the paramount issue
of unemployment by adopting a definite
constructive program to cut down un-
employment. Upon that issue is the
battle-ground.
If the President attempts to inject
foreign relations into the campaign, it
will be evident that he expects to win
by some sort of hookup with one of the
belligerents in Europe. Once the Amer
ican people get the notion that President
Roosevelt, on the ticket or controlling the
ticket, is trying to shift the fight from
the domestic scene to Europe, the Demo-
cratic party is gone. For the voters,
above everything else on earth, want
to keep out of war And the Republican
platform makers will be safe if they
concentrate upon domestic issues.
Independent Vote Decisive
In the end, the campaign of 1910 will
be won by the independent vote. In
1896 Mr. Landon polled approximately
100000 and Mr.. Roosevelt polled 29,-
10000. Seven million independent
voters can shift slightly to the right and
throw the election to the Republicans
Even small number, we'll distributed
in the electoral college, might turn the
tide. But the independent vote will do
it. The independent voter is likely to
hold with the Western Republicans, as
he has held with them for 40 years,
from the first Roosevelts day through
the La Toilette regime, down to Mr..
Landon's ascendency.
Mr.. Landon definitely is out for
liberal platform, and definitely the East
ern control of the Republican party is
out for a conservative platform. The
Landon crowd would take the Glenn
Frank suggestions as basis, as a first
draft, but would boil it down and make
it platform going forward from the
New Deal. The Republicans clustering
around Philadelphia, New York and Bos-
ton, who raise the money for the cam
paign, would throw the Glenn Frank
proposals overheard and create their
Utopia out of Hardings, Coolidge's and
and Hoover's millennium. It boils down
to this: Whether the States that have
Republican electoral votes, from the AL
leghenies to the Pacific, shall write the
Republican platform, or whether New
York, Pennsylvania and New England,
controlling the purse strings of the Re-
publican party and backed by the pur-
chasabls Republican South, shall con-

Says Vast Conflict May Flame From Hostiites Along
BY David Lloyd George.

many. Since the Boer war there has been
nothing to compare with the sympathy
felt for the Firms throughout the world.
remember how everywhere outside
Britain the Boer victories were hailed
with an enthusiastic frenzy Russian,
who at that time was at school in the
depths OF Siberia, told me the other day
how the boys cheered whenever the news
OF Boer triumph arrived in that remote
region. 1t was quite on the cards that
there might be combination of coun-
tries-great and small-against the
aggressor of that day. Nevertheless, the
nations that sympathized with the Beers,
including America, Germany, France and
Russia, restrained their emotions of
indignation against Britain and of
admiration for the Beers.
I doubt whether there was as much
as diplomatic protest There was hard
ly any help in munitions and very few
volunteers from any of the sympathetic
nations great war was thus averted.
International forbearance ultimately
provided an opportunity for British
craftsmanship, under the guidance and
leadership of that great Scotsman,
Campbell Bannerman, to restore to the
Beers the independence which they
treasured and for which they had fought
so gallantly
The situation in regard to Finland is,
however, entirely different and much
more dangerous. War material is being
cont from Tfo1y px;to
Sweden to the aid of the Firms. Air
planes and anti-aircraft guns have been
contributed by these nations. There
are more on the way. America is also
lending money. Sweden has dispatched
substantial number of volunteers for
the Finnish Army and they are already
in action. Britain is now to follow this
example.
Finnish Aspect Dangerous.
BY law no British citizen can enlist
In the army Of a foreign belligerent
without license from the home secretary.
That leave is now to be given to any
Briton who Is desirous of joining the
Finnish Army, provided he does not
belong to any of the classes that have
already been called up for service in
the war against Germany. It is an i'm
portant-and may turn out to be most
momentous-decision. The sequel de-
pends partly on the response made to
the appeal for volunteers and, largely,
on whether 1t has not come too late
to be Of much USE
Should it be considerable, it might
have an effect on the outcome of the
tremendous struggle now proceeding on
the Mannerheim Line and in the center
Of Finland. The Times has taken the
lead in the appeal for volunteers. It
points out that after the capture by
the Russians Of some of the Manner
helm outposts, the Films are compelled
to counter attack and their losses will
now begin. They are q small people
and they have no large resources of
manpower to draw upon. The news
from the Mannerheim Line is not too
good for the Finnish defenders.
