A Doctrine Made Law
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tCmclnnatl Enqulrer)
 For more than century it has been a cardinal principle of American foreign policy that exten- sion of European political control in the Western Hemisphere would be tolerated The Congress is now on the point of clarifying extending, and strengthening the Monroe Doctrine
 The pending resolution declares that any transfer of American territory from non-A American power to another would neither be recognized nor acqui esced in" by the United States.
 It indicates the Washington Government would consult other American Governments to decide on common action should the problem arise. But in- Army and Navy would not have to wait for collec tive action by the American republics before using force prevent transfer of territory in this hemis phere
 Although entirely consistent with the traditional Monroe Doctrine this resolution has specific pur- pose-to prevent Germany from asserting cisng authority the Dutch West Indies It will have additional application in the event of a complete Allied defeat in that it will forbid Ger acquisition of any French British territories in the New World.
 The sentiment in Congress and the State De- partment is overwhelmingly favorable to this reso- lution, and naturally For while we have got on well enough with England, France, and Holland neigh bors in this hemisphere, know with absolute certainty that could not get pacifically with Naz controlled islands mainland colonies at our doors
 There is interesting sidelight on this reso- lution. It implies very clearly that the United States has an important stake in the outcome of the present war. We are not isolated from the struggle, and especially from the territorial roper cussions it will have if Hitler should triumph.

have turned their country into an armed fort with an unhappy, under-fed population inside it; perhaps they should have turned their little surplus into guns
 instead of into health insurance" Looking back we can say that undoubtedly Norway should have pre- pared Without defense force to repel ruthless in- vasion, their health insurance, full arders and high civilization count for very little indeed
 Professor Haugen contributes materially to our understanding of what happened in Norway. How ever, his protestatons behalf of the Norwegians are to be accepted in toto than are the stories of quite different aspect from Correspondent Stowe Very importantly, Professor Haugen says:
 The problem of herosm and cowardice becomes an entirely new one under the conditions of modern warfare. To speak of individual heroism today is like speaking of the executive ability of factory piece worker. Modern is not test of man. hood It is gigantic mechanical industry, where the engineers count for than the infantry The man with machine gun, or a tank or bomb CT is not hero. He is just cog in great war machine, which down every hope of beauty and aspiration in it's way, until it meets another machine that cope with it.'
 Whether the true story of Norway is that of Leland Stowe that of Professor Einar Haugen or as is most likely, something in between it is story from which Amercians learn much in preparing their own nation to defend itself

An Analogous Error?
(Philad adelphia Record)

If We are to help the Allies, as now seems almost too late, ought not build army primarily and openly designed to fight in Europe?
 And if that is too late isn't the only sound policy for a political and military policy of Western Hemisphere defense?
 President Roosevelt went far as he could go constitutonay in expressing the will of this try to help the French To do otherwise would have been to share the responsibility for of the great disasters of history.
 But from this point on, we must worry more about the state of Brazls defenses than the state of Frances We must be prepared to defend Canada, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina Venezuela and all the rest of this hemisphere.
 And must realize that We not going to stop short of war if Germany threatens any country in this hemisphere

THE TRUTH ABOUT NORWAY

The dark mantle of German censorship and oppression has fallen Norway, it has over France, Belgium, the Netherlands Luxembourg, Po- land and Czechoslovaka, so that post mortem be- all but impossible
 Norway fell, most Americans believe, because of the treachery of a few Norwegians and the apathy of all the others This belief is based largely on the dispatches of Leland Stowe who in Oslo at the time of the invasion and whose cover age was undeniaby great feat of journalism under trying circumstances
 The Stowe account is now challenged by Prof. Enar Haugen head of the Scandinavian Department of the University of Wisconsin, who could not believe Norwegians could be base He thinks the reporter had some bad information but, important than that did not understand the Norwegian character that he mstook guarded hate for dupicity, hidden for apathy and resigned submission for cowardce
 Professor Haugen says the conquest made possible not by any Norwegian duplicity but by the "diabolica cleverness' of the Germans, who turned to account those very qualities of the Norwegians for which they most admired their peacefulness democracy and high civilization. The outstanding mistake of Scandinavia" he quotes New York Times Correspondent Harold Calender was that it imag- ined it lived in a world civilized as itself"
 The reason Norwegian warships ordered not to fire on the German armada coming up Oso- fjord not that traitor had signed the order Haugen claims, but because the Norwegian vessels had nothing but recruits aboard and not ready for battle Similarly the naval base at Horten surrendered because it's officers thought it better to give up the fort than subject Oslo to bombardment A force of 1900 parachute troops able to take Oslo without firing shot because Oslo had armed force to oppose them. If all these things true they would seem to constitute almost as severe an indictment against the Norwegian government as that written by Stowe.
 The Professor admits Norway unprepared 'It is easy to criticize the military policy fol- lowed during the years after the last war" he says Perhaps they mistaken; perhaps they should

 Unit Is
 Formed

WASHINGTON, July 1. The Department of Justice has mobilized against wartime sedition and sabo- tage by forming a so-called neu- trality law unit to prosecute all violations of espionage regulations. ! Attorney General Jackson named Government Attorney Lawrence Smith to direct the new unit in CO., operation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the State, War, Navy and Treasury departments. Smith is former member of the Philadelphia law firm of Supreme Court Justice Roberts.
 The Justice Department declared that the new unit will not overlap the FBI but will coordinate the prosecution of neutrality and sedi- tion law violations throughout the United States. The Justice De- partment emphasized that the new unit was aimed at centralizing en- forcement of the complicated laws on foreign enlistment, treason and kindred regulations. Fl ts--

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not C I,apeW

Benefic aspects rule today which should be fortunate for the expan- sion of ones business or social in- terests. It is especially promising for those who sign contracts and for young persons who enter a wage earning vocation for the first time.
 Heart and Home: Women are well directed under this rule of the stars which encourages recreation, sum- mer travel and general pleasure. While there is promise of romance there will be a practical point of view on the part of young men. Material as well as sentimental considerations will guide suitors who may be hard-headed as well as soft-heared. Love letters will be numerous throughout the summer since many young men will be concentrated in camps or large groups.
 Business Affairs: Substitutes for fabrics and inventions of synthetic origin will bring fortunes to manu- facturers Speculation should be avoided The surprise element, in- dicated by the stars and mentioned by astrologers from time to time, will be evident in its effect upon trade and commerce. Prosperity should offer opportunity to prac- tice thrift, for strange omens are seen for next year. .-..y
 National Issues: Radical influ- ences will be strong in the nation al political campaign. The Demo- cratic Party will feel the effects of subverSive influences. Former friends and close associates will work against one another, but the stars seem to presage good luck for leading candidates. The Re- publican Party is to make signifi- cant gains under leaders with vision and experience. President Roosevelt is subject to benefic planets.
 International Affairs: General Franco is to be conspicuous in the news. While he and Mussolini are not likely to be sympathetic in their ideas regarding European poli- cies in the future, there will be a development of wide interest af- fecting these two ruling statesmen. General Franco will resent dicta- tion' from victorious war lords. This is to be a month of supreme inn portance in history that will be written in blood. s,
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of ac- tivity that brings unexpected ex- periences and general success. Money will come to many through unusual channels.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be extraordinarily lucky all through life. Future aviators may be numerous among the boys. Girls are likely to have talent for music.
