United States Is Not Looking
For Amy Military Trouble


1t is to be remembered, first, that
the United States and its peoples
are not military nation, not ma
ton looking for trouble. In anoth-
er phase, it is to be remembered
that there are some 1000, 900 fellows
who got their feet stuck in French
mud and who fought off French
coolies as well as German attacks.
They are scattered throughout the
United States. / know Of few of
those fellows who ever want to see
any more of war. They are saying
so with great freedom. They have
convinced their friends and neigh
bors and the families. So, from
general philosophy of peace and the
word-of-mouth expressions of expert
ence, it strikes me that universal
military service will not get very
far now-unless the entire New Deal
political machine can be used to
run over the opposition as Hitler's
armies overran France.
In another way, l think Mr.. Roose-
welt made a big political mistake
by sponsoring universal military
service for use when the nation Is
not at war. 1t builds up a Repubn-
can opposition and supplies that
opposition with an added type Of
criticism to be used in the forth
coming presidential campaign. And
from what hear, the Republicans
are going to use It'll

Contention Holds That Hitler
Will Influence All Trade

Further, it is commended that
small, or even great, corporations
in North and South America will
find themselves so thoroughly brow
beaten by the Hitler tactics that
they will yield to whatever methods
the Nazis desire to employ. ALI Of
which, they say, will mean that
Nazi agents will be all over the
place, speaking their pieces and pro-
noting their propaganda.
So, comes then the plan for a
giant corporation that would absorb
all of the products of the Western
world. This corporation, in the minds
of the dreamers, would be so power
full that it could tell Hitler and his
gang where to get off. The COM
pany on this side Of the Atlantic
could say to Hitler's representatives,
in effect, we will trade with you,
but you will not take advantage Of
us; we are too big. If you don't
trade with us, you get nothing over
here.
AL Of which sounds swell. It
sounds like hard boiled stuff. But
it will not work, and no really sane
person believes it will work. In ad-
dition, it has all Of the elements Of
danger that can be crowded into
the meaning Of the word regimen
tation."
The first reason it will not work is
because there Is not the chance Of a
SNOWFALL in the neither regions that
all Of the South American nations
will join. Unless it embraces ev-
erything. it will flop Of its own
weight. And il all of the South
Americans do come, where is a
guaranty that they viii stay in? They
have jumped the traces so many
times that there is little faith to be
placed in their agreements.
Another reason is that if such a
corporation attempts to take all of
the surplus, there must be control of
production, complete and final con-
troll of production of food and fiber
and materials Of every known kind.
If there Is no such control, the cor
poration will find itself shortly own
ing an accumulation of several
years output, and more coming in
because the world can and does pro-
duce more than it uses in a great
many years.

The idea :. this gigantic car
tel-government-owned and directed
the dream that is proposed to be
made into reality-is that there is
as much danger of German infiltra-
ton through business as through
armed forces. Moreover, it is held
that with Hitler and his gang domi-
mating Europe, they will dictate
trade. That is to say, Hitler's Nazis
not only will determine who will
sell to those peoples under his steel
boot, but they will decide the terms
at which the products will be sold.
The school of thought behind the
monopoly plan contends that such a
control of international markets will
mean wrecking North and South
American trade.

 Swift and suspenseful, yet per vaded with human and realistic frailties, Columbia's Hidden Pow CT, will also be seen. Starring Jack Holt in a role totally different from anything he has ever attempted be- fore, the drama depicts a timely and expressing tale of a conscien- tious and humanitarian research chemist who stumbles upon the secret of a terrible explosive.
 Rather than accept the respon- sibility for the deaths of innocent thousands, Holt refuses to yield the destructive secret to a group of munitions makers. The resultant complications make for a colorful and highly entertaining series ci events.
