NEW YORK.-It just happens
~ that a specialist in bankruptcy
law is the co-partner of General
Trujillo of the Dominican Republic

Into Fantasy refugees in
haven under the Trujillo plan. But,
this specialist, John N. Rosenberg,
New York lawyer, has, since the
World war, been occupied with the
large-scale human-race bankruptcy
of war and famine in Europe, so
he is entering no new field. He is
president of the Dominican Resettle-
ment association, which is CO.
operating with General Trujillo in
what appears to be an absolutely
unique experiment in giving 500
refugees new start in the western
world, with houses, roads, land, cat
tie and farm implements ready for
them.
Mr.. Rosenberg has helped
liquidate and rebuild all sorts
of financial and social wreckage,
including Ivar Kreuger's Inter-
national Match company. He is
the author of Corporate Re-
organization and the Federal
Courts" but he, is also the
author of another book called
t'PunchinelIO."
Fantasy, or at any rate, play
of the imagination, has occupied
quite as much of his time as law
and bankruptcy. He has painted
hundreds of pictures, many of which
are hung in good galleries, includ-
ing the Fogg museum of Harvard.
He is an etcher, photographer and
playwright, and Broadway has pro-
duced his plays. For six years he
was associated with Kenneth Mac
Gowan and Stark Young in backing
the Provincetown theater. His
short stories have appeared in
many magazines. All this with time
out to be counsel for the Irving Trust
company.
The foregoing might suggest
the activities of a trap-drum-
mer. But he is, instead, leisure
ly and meditative, an easy
going kpipe-smdker who always
seems to have a lot of time on
his hands. Another of his books
is "Pastel Expression" He is
busy in communal, civic and
philanthropic enterprises and in
the immediate postwar years
was head of the American Joint
Distribution Commission for
Europe. This took him to Rus
STA, and he wrote book about
that, too-"On the Steppes." If
thereis to be a general European
Observation-Disclosures and cul-
tural-he might as well take

GENERAL
JOHN SON
ydHc.'
THE WAR AS ELECTION ISSUE
Washington, d. C.

WdSHIuS tOu, u. W
The rapidly crystalizing policy of
this administration to defend Amer
lea by mixing aggressively in
European and Asian power politics,
with whatever consequence that
may carry, is sure to be an issue
this year.
AS in 1916, the sentiment against
that, west of the Alleghenies, is
overwhelming. In 1917, we were at
war and, before the end of that
year, with complete and even enthu-
siastic support of the country. Yet
Immediately after the declaration of
war, there was no such sentiment
except on the Eastern seaboard.
I know, because had undertaken
the organization of the selective
draft in every American commu-
nifty.
Most of the gray hairs I had until
recently, got in the first anxious
80 days of that effort.
Was the ambitious experiment 60
ing to flop? In most states, except
the East, there was only aloof and
skeptical if not sullen acceptance.
BY the persuasive power of the
eloquence and idealism of Woodrow
Wilson, by some arts we used of
blatant ballyhoo and hokum national
high-pressure selling, that was
changed in a few weeks to a war
psychosis which approached hyste-
ria.
Woodrow Wilson could do that be-
cause he prepared the seed bed by
months of patient and long suffering
restraint and, of far more impor-
lance, because we were actually in,
and not merely flirting with, a
bloody war and a sickly season.
Can Franklin Roosevelt do that
which to be elected, he must do, or
sincerely change the whole course
of his foreign policy? Can he do it
when we are not engaged in war, and
when no such seed bed is ready?
He has another handicap which
Mr.. Wilson had not. This country
had then never tried a mass adj
venture in the embarrassing war
diplomacy of Europe.
We tried in 1917 and 1918 and we
know it to have been the most dis
astrous gamble this nation ever
made.
Apart from the handicap of our
dolorous experience, is the simple
military question of whether we
should scatter our strength over
vast areas of this globe, or whether,
tho obvious course is to retain
our interior lines, our concentrated
strength, the advantages Of our nat
ural barriers and our unquestioned
unity.
It is a reversal of every Ameri-
can traditional (if not constitutionaD
political principle and of every mill
tary and naval axiom. Coupled
with the reversal of the third term
tradition, it will certainly be a
massive handicap. 1t cannot be
shushed or even minimized.
Only the persuasive skill of Mr..
Roosevelt, his literary ghosts, and
the greater pulling power of four
billion dollars, coupled with possible
Republican campaign laundering
could overcome it.
Yet,oso great is the power of good
Dor i'll of all these elements, that I
for one, am not yet ready to say it
can't be done.

ROOSEVELT DELEGATES

Several weeks before fast-working
Gov. Ed Rivers of Georgia had Of
ficially lined up Georgia's delegates
for third term, he made a trip to
Washington and reported to Roose-
welt that unoficially he had the
Georgia Democrats in line.
GIVE followed your instructions,
Mr.. President" reported Rivers,
'sand I've got all the Georgia dele
gates bagged for your man at the
convention. But you know how cats
are when you get 'em in a bag.
They're a-scratchin' and a-clawin',
and don't know when they're going
to get OUT
"That's fine, Ed" replied the
President, "just keep hold of that
bag"
However, the governor of Georgia
was not as enthusiastic as the Pres
ident. Doubtless, also, he was in
terested in pinning him down on
the third term. He said:
''Well, I can hold 'em all right,
Mr.. President, if I'm holding them
for you. But if I'm holding them
for someone else, then they want to
know about it so they can each get
their cream"
"I'll let you know when the time
comes, Ed" replied the President.
Meanwhile, you just hold on to
that bag"
NOte-The above conversation is
particularly significant because it
represents the attitude of almost ev-
cry Democratic state boss, including
Mayor Hague of Jersey City and
Mayor Kelly of Chicago. They are
for third term for Roosevelt, but
they don't guarantee to transfer
their delegates to Roosevelt's fair
haired boy-especially if he is

COVERING UP DYNAMITE

WASHINGTON.-When cocky ex-
champagne salesman Joachim Won
Ribbentrop summoned diplomats
and the press to gala presentation
of the Nazi white paper the. other
day, it may have been that he was
chiefly concerned with covering UP
some dynamite which the allies had
discovered.
At that meeting Ribbentrop
claimed that Germany went into
Norway because secret allied plans
to penetrate Scandinavia first had
been discovered. But the real truth,
as reported to official sources here,
was very different.
What actually happened was that
six or seven days before the inva-
sion of Norway, French and British
intelligence services got wind of a
German plan to launch whirlwind
war about mid-May.
This lightning war was to include
the invasion of Norway; the inva-
sion of Holland; the occupation of
Greece by Mussolini; and an attack
on the Maginot line. Apparently the
strategy was Matched at the famous
Hitler Mussolini conference at the
Bremen pass, and was calculated
to sweep the allies off their feet.
Find Nazi Tieup.
Naturally when allied intelligence
agents learned of this, the first thing
the British did was check into the
situation in Norway. There, thanks
to British prodding, the Norwegian
government (Which is a labor gov
efnment) uncovered certain high
placed officers who were sympathet-
ic to the Nazis, in some cases ready
to go over to them.
So Norway started to clean house.
Naturally when the pro-Nazi Nor
wegians were fired, it tipped off the
Germans to the fact that the allies
were in on their plot. So they start
ed into Norway almost Immediately.
There is no question that before
the Norwegian government had time
to GUST many of the inside plotters,
the British had prepared maps of
Norway and had figured on the pos
sibility of military operations there.
Some of the more forceful in the
Chamberlain cabinet even wanted
to do what Ribbentrop accused them
of planning-going into Norway first.
But Chamberlain and a majority of
the cabinet were against it.
This was about all the truth there
was to the Ribbentrop white paper.
