This great effort requires great

"AS the Government is determined

The Nation expects our defense

Repeatedly. the President empha-
sized that it is through ever-increas-
ing aid to the fighting democracies
particularly to Britain that he hopes
to keep this Nation out of war.
THE people of Europe who are
defending themselves do not ask US

ask us for the implements OF war,

One of the new and stern ques-
tions Adolf Hitler is facing today

bottleneck in our determination to
aid Great Britain" and that he be-
lieves "the axis powers are not go

The French attitude. which has
hardened toward Nazidom still fur
ther last week end. is one Of the
Fuehrer's great worries. That makes
it one of the worries of the other
two partners of the Triple Alliance
Italy and Japan
Hitler is said to have been trying
everything he could to cajole or
frighten Marshal Henri Philippe
Petain, French chief of state, into
giving the support of France to
Germany against England. The
Nazi chief wants use of the still
powerful French fleet, and he at

make war against the axis
Stands Ground Stubbornly.
Marshal Petain has stood his
ground stubbornly and with grow
ing independence. Indeed. he Is
reported to have threatened to cut
the French colonial forces loose
against the axis if the Nazi de-
mands are too harsh.
1t would be a grievous blow to
Hitler should Marshal Petain throw
the support Of his navy and colo
nies to Britain at this crucial juno
ture. when Germany is maneuvering
for position to administer the fin
ishing blow to England by invasion.
And now, at most inconvenient
moment, comes the Roosevelt
speech, making America the ar
senal of democracy" 1t is one of
the last things which Hitler could
have wished 1t is one of the
things which the Triple Alliance has
been trying to stave off by threats
of dire consequences if America
doesn't cease aiding Britain.
What will the French reaction be?

find any answer other than that

yesterday by the Fascist press of

Italy stands ready. the newspapers
said, to strike back at the United
States for any new aid to Britain

The press asserted that Japan is

French View of Roosevelt Talk.
One of HitIer's Great Worries
Petuin Aid to British With Fleet and
Colonies Would Be Grievous Blow

Britain's enemies will be immeas-
urably strengthened.
Anything which strengthens Brit
aims chances to win must give add
ed courage to France.
Why doesn't Hitler use force on
France to compel acquiescence with
his wishes?
Well, he could. Continental
France Is crushed and is under the
hobnailed boots of a vast Ger
man army OF occupation. Herr Hit
Ter could exact terrible penalties
for failure to cooperate"
But with all that he is up against
this proposition: You can enforce
a considerable degree of obedience
with guns, but YOU can't exact 10y
atty. The Fuehrer couldn't MAXI
Frenchmen fight against Britain If
they didn't want to-and as a whole
they don't.
1t would avail him little to seize
the vastly important French fleet,
unless he could at the same time
obtain the services of the French
officers and crews. He could
scarcely man and operate those
warships with German crews.
De Gaulle's Appeal.
What is more to the point. any
r..ove of this sort likely would re-
suit in the great French colonies
throwing their active support to
England.
Gen. Charles de Gaulle, leader Of
the free French forces still allied
to Britain, took advantage of the
position at the week end to make an
appeal to all Frenchmen to go to
the aid of the Anglo-allied cause.
He declared that If French North
Africa. Syria and the French feet
were fighting with the Allies. the
battle of the Mediterranean could
be won quickly.
The way things are tending, I
think those who want France to
lend her aid to Britain have a right
to do a little wishful thinking. 1t
perhaps would be mistake to
bank too much on active military
aid, for continental France is a
prisoner in German hands. but 1t
shouldn't be overlooked that Mar
shall Petains refusal to loin Hit
Ter against Britain is powerful,
though indirect, assistance to the
Allies.

Despite all the nervous Nellies, iso-
lationism was never more incon-
spicuous in the country at large
than on the issue of rescuing Rus
sia's intended victims by measures
short OF war. If the Presidents
scouts in and out of Congress

to serve at his listening posts. They
belong to the ostrich family, at
which F. D. r. tilted so merrily on
Jackson Day. That being so, what's
holding him back? If the President
is the politician he's supposed to be,
doesn't he realize that aid for Fin
land-real, not sham, aids, to put
it on that sordid basis alone, good
politics-good Democratic politics,
good third-term politics, or any,
thing you please?
There's no assurance whatever
that giving the Firms a 10000 900
credit, to be spent here as they
prefer, would be taking the United
States down the road to war;"
Officially, Russia and Finland are
not at war any more than China
and Japan, both of which for three
years have been getting military
supplies here. Russia today can Sc

port, under our neutrality law.
There's no violation OF that law in
making 1t possible for Finland to
do the same thing. Moscow and
Berlin might demur. What of it?
What can they do about it? Is 1t
conceivable the Reds and the Nazis
would dislike us any more than they
do already? And supposing they do?

Dewey and Gannett,
To Judge by Mr.. Roosevelt's ex-
perience at Chicago in 1892, Tom
Dewey has no cause for sleeplessness
over the prospect that Publisher
Frank Gannett of Rochester may
succeed in mopping up a batch of
Republican National Convention
delegates from upstate New York
and points east. On the fourth and
final ballot, on which Gov. Roosevelt
was nominated on July /, he re-
ceived only 81 Of New York States
"a votes, while AL Smith received 63.
Smiths phalanx practically stood
pat throughout-651a votes on the
first ballot to Roosevelt's 28k. It's
an amusing recollection that when
the New York delegation was polled
after the first ballot, it was disclosed
that Jim Farley had cast only one
half OF his vote for Roosevelt. The
record doesn't reveal who got the
other half, but presumably it went
to Smith. Herbert Lehman's vote
was also split in two. So if Dewey
comes to the G. o. P. convention
with anything approximating the
countrywide strength marshaled by
Roosevelt at Chicago, it wouldn't
necessarily concern him how many
New York State delegates Gannett
controlled. There's said to be little
love lost between the D. A. and
the publisher.
