but merely proceed over the
periods of the political conven-
tiOnS.A
Open expressions of unwilling
ness to leave everything in the
hands of the President, with Con-
gress away, have come from emf
nent leaders of his own party.
The fear that his personal utter
ances and actions are tending to
involve the nation in a war fer
which we are not adequately pre-
pared is heard on every side.
There is no disagreement worth
mentioning between individuals
or parties on the necessity for
getting ready to defend ourselves
against the possible 'ganging up"
of Germany, Italy and Japan.
The only argument is as to
whether incautious official ut
terances may provoke some hos
tile act which would justify a
demand upon Congress for de-
responsible official will 60 fur
Their than to say that Germany
"mav'' win the war. Privately,
the same well-informed people
express the belief that Germany
and Italy together will achieve
the conquest of all Europe.
Also, in high official circles,
there is great apprehension as to
how the United States could
handle a situation involving the
Monroe Doctrine and our obllga-
ton to prevent any foreign ma
ton from acquiring sovereignty
over any part of the Americas.
Penetration Realized
The extent of Nazi and Fascist
penetration in Latin America is
only now being realized. The
speech of President Vardas of
Brazil, who is nearer dictator
than the president of a demo-
cracy, in which he seemed to ap-
prove Mussolini's declaration OF
war, has brought out into the
open one of the things the State
Department has known for a
long time. That is, that between
them, Germany and Italy have
been establishing large and i'm
portant colonies in South
of people who still feel
their first allegiance is to their
European homelands. In Mexico
there is an even more dangerous

WASHINGTON. =

WASHINGTON. = The shadow
of war overhangs Washington
with deeper gloom than since
the dreadful days of 1861. Neither
the war with Spain in 1898 nor
the nations entrance into the
World War in 1917 seemed to
carry the menace, so widely felt
by all the people and so deeply
concerning the responsible Off
Gals of the government, as does
the present situation.
The shadow of war overhangs
the Republican National Conven-
ton. It will overhang the whole
presidential campaign, now about
to begin. 1t may easily bemuddle
the issues of politics and bring
about a situation in which none
can safely venture a prediction
as to the outcome. It is the be-
lief of political Washington that
the war situation will result in
the denomination of President
Roosevelt for a third term when
the Democrats hold their con-
vention next month.
In that case the major issue
will be whether or not the Ameri-
can people have greater conf
dence in Mr.. Roosevelt's ability
to carry the nation safely through
the crisis or in that of the Re-
publican Party and its leaders to
manage the problems of defense
and possibly of war itself. The
unique spectacle is likely to be
presented of a contest between
an entire political party, on the
one hand, and a single Individual
on the other. The personality of
the Republican candidate would
be of secondary Importance, ex-
cept as he demonstrates his abb
lily to inspire confidence.
Congress Not Convinced
That Congress is not complete
ly confident of the Presidents
ability to steer the ship of state
single-handed through the pre-
sent troubled international wa
tiers is evidenced by the agree
ment of Democrats with Republic
cans in the latter party's proposal
The Skyland post. [volume] (West Jefferson, N.C.) 193?-1988, 1940-06-27

scared.
The President is a tired man.
He would like to be relieved of
his responsibilities. If he had had
the decision to make three
months ago he probably would
have decided not to run again.
Now, even those who dc, not i'd
mire him are asking how any
man can reject the opportunity
to lead his nation through the
greatest crisis in eighty years.

JAPAN MAY PROTECT
FRENCH-DUTCH LANDS

Tokio.-Informed sources said
Tuesday that the japanese gov
eminent may attempt to declare
a "protectorate" over French and
Netherlands territories in the or
lent.
Such a move, it was said, pro-
baby would follow discussions
with Germany and Italy as to
the future Of such holdings by
defeated European powers.
Responsible Japanese sources
expressed concern at the chance
the far eastern colonies of France
and the Netherlands might pass
into the hands of the victors in
the European war. It was felt
that such a situation would be
disadvantageous to Japan.
plants have recently been I'M
covered. Fresh efforts on large
scale to run down undesirable
aliens, especially those with Nazi
or Fascist affiliations, are being
made.
Plans are maturing for the
intensive military training of a
million young men. The proposal
for the CONSUMPTION of all able
bodied youth for a year of army
service is gaining adherents. Ten
thousand military air pilots are
to be started on their training
courses at once. The whole pic
ture, as Washington sees it, of
nation that expects to go to war
nightly soon, if not tomorrow.
To Effect Campaign
That is bound to have an effect
upon the presidential campaign,
especially if Mr.. Roosevelt is re-
nominated. The argument against
changing horses while crossing
a stream" will be worked to the
limit of it's possibilities. The
speed with which the present ad-
ministration got into action as
soon as the necessity for war pre-
| paration became evident to
everybody will be used as an
argument that the Republicans
couldn't have done better; that,
and the caliber of the men whom
the President has appointed to
see that the necessary things are
done quickly.
The argument of the opposition
that these things ought to have
been started long ago will be met
by the reply that the public and
Congress wouldn't have stood for

Is trench diggers costing $4,000 each
and destined for the Western front,
to be followed soon by 270 more.
At Washington, the annual report
of Interior Secretary Harold Ickes
focused attention on Americas need
for conserving her natural resources
which he said were threatened by
efforts to break down conservation
programs in an attempt to reap
quick war profits. What specific at
tempts he had in mind Secretary
1ckes did not say, but it is well
known that army and navy depart
ments have ordered strict conserva-
ton of domestic sources of certain
strategic materials.

senate should ratify each treaty.
Most realistic attitude was that of
Nebraska's Sen. Edward R. Burke:
He favored the "long-range view"
that taking down tariff walls would
eventually benefit all countries, but
declared agriculture in some states
is so depressed it would require
at least few years to get it back
on its feet"
What most senators want is a
chance for some old-fashioned log
rolling, hence observers thought the
trade act would be renewed only if
congressional ratification is includ-
ed.
Other issues:
Pensions. Unexpectedly injected
was a campaign sponsored by
poorer" states) to make the U. S.
take bigger share of pension costs.
Under law the U. S. matches states
dollar for dollar up to $40 per month.
Agriculture. Henry Wallace pol
ished off his certificate plan" to
syphon $500, 100000 annually from
consumers to finance the farm pro-
gram. Farmers would get income
certificates valued at the differential
between market price and parity
price," these to be purchased by
professors.
Taxes. Henry Morgenthau not
only opposed the certificate plan as
a consumer tax in disguise, but
pointed out the consumer already
pays 81 per cent of the taxes. A
bigger issue: Whether to raise taxes
or hike the national debt limit,
which reaches its ceiling next year.
Defense. While the President
planned an enlarged defense pro-
gram, two Republicans (Ohio's Sen.
Robert A. Taft and Idaho's William
Borah) warned against it.

In the North

Attack-and-repulse tactics contin-
ued featuring the war between Fin
land and Russia, the Soviet suffer-
ing bitter losses on all fronts from
Petsamo to the Karelian isthmus.
Main reason, as usual, was cold
weather, an ally of the skillful Films.
Most gruesome story:
Near Suomussalmi it was learned
the outnumbered Films had sur
rounded Russia's entire 163rd divi-
sion, waited three weeks in bitter
cold while the Soviet supply lines
broke down, then attacked to find
the Russians so weak and frozen
they could hardly move. Trapped
were most of the $4,000 men, thou
sands of them already dead.
Far from an optimist, Finland's
President Kyosti Kallio knew such
luck couldn't hold out. AS new
waves of Red troops were rushed to
the front he appealed for foreign
volunteers. Already on the way were
$4,000 Scandinavians, with more to
come.
