would detect nothing of the loose
earth piled underneath it. Yet to
the uneasy prisoner it seemed al
most too much to hope. His indus

"They tell me, my son, that you

slightly acid in his tone.

impatiently, "has that to do with

Nothing, nothing whatever, my

RUSSIA AGAIN BUYING COTTON
Here is big news for the South.
Soviet Russia is back in the Ameri-
can cotton market.
She already has purchased $1,000
bales, of which $4,000 are en- route
via Vladivostok in Greek ships, and
has indicated the total orders may
run as high as 500, 900 bales.
To facilitate transportation, the
maritime commission last week
granted sub-charters to; Amtorg (the
Soviet trading agency for three u.
S. freighters, the Carleton, Export
and motor ship Excelsior, which will
load the cotton at Houston and Gal
weston. 4g
The last time Russia bought U. S.
cotton was in the early 1930s.
Official Russian explanation for
the U. S. purchases is that under the
latest five-year plan, her spinning
equipment is SO rapidly expanding
that she needs more cotton than she
produces. According to the Soviet
buyers their spindle capacity will
reach a point in 1912 which will re-
quire a 40 per cent increase in cot
ton supply.
The matter of possible Russian re-
export of the U. S. cotton to Germa-
ny was one of the subjects dis
cussed by UnderSecretary of State
Sumner Welles and Soviet Ambas-
sador Oumansky, who gave positive
assurances that the cotton was
strictly for Russian use.
DIPLOMATIC CAPITAL
It looks. as if San Francisco Is
slated to become the capital for Axis
diplomacy in the United States.
For several years, the city has
been the headquarters of Capt. Fritz
Wiedemann, Hitler's World war
commander and personal represent
alive in this country. And now he
has been joined by a new Italian
consul general of equal behind-the-
scenes eminence. He is Carlo Bos-
81, who ranks as high in inner Mus
solini councils as Wiedemann does
In Hitler's.
Bossi, who is carefully avoiding
the limelight, played leading role
in Italy's support of General Franco
against the Spanish Loyalists, and is
credited with directing the capture
of Barcelona, the blow that crushed
the Republic. He is strongly anti
British and has close ties with both
Nazi and Japanese bigwigs.
It was no accident that Bossi as
sumed his San Francisco post short
ly before the announcement OF the
Axis-Japanese alliance. From the
Pacific coast city, and working
closely with Wiedemann, he will be
in a strategic position to represent
II Duce in the Far East.

WINNING IsOLATIONIsTs

Very quietly, the administration is
waging a campaign to win over Mid
west isolationist sentiment. Most
striking feature of this campaign is
the distribution of the Bullitt speech
given at independence hall in Phila-
delphia.
This distribution has now reached
the amazing figure of 2,384, 900.
After his speech, Bullitt received
no less than 5000 letters and tele-
grams, with unsolicited contribu-
tons totaling more than $4,000.
This paid for distribution of the
speech.
Three people saw the Bullitt
speech before it was delivered. One
was Stanley Hornbeck, state depart
ment adviser on Far Eastern af-
fairs, who urged, without success,
that Bullitt tone it down. Another
was Archibald MacLeish, librarian
Of congress, who was elated with it.
The third person was the President.
Note - Highlight of the Bullitt
speech was the warning: The Unit
ed States is in as great peril today
as was France year ago +. I'm
less we act now, decisively, to meet
the threat, we shall be too late"

NEW SYSTEM FOR ARMY
BUYING

Nothing has been said about it
publicly, but the defense commits
sion has persuaded the army to
make a revolutionary change in its
purchasing methods. It will mean
Juicy orders to hundreds of factories
which never had a look in before.
The new system junks the old pro-
cedure of advertised bids and sub
stitutes modified plan of negotiated
contracts. Instead of buying shoes,
shirts, or raincoats in huge quanti-
ties from few large concerns, the
army will purchase these goods as
far as possible within each of the
nine corps areas.
This means that small local fac
tories will have a chance to obtain
a chunk of the army's business.
On the basis of orders already
granted under the new system, ex-
perts say costs will be no higher
than under the old procedure.

Foreign Policy Is Among Infer-Pdrty Struggles
 Opinions Divergent

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-Among the inter-Party struggles of the Re- publicans to be watched during the coming months is the issue of foreign policy, now thrust into the open by Senator Borah. &
 The Idaho Senator, long famous as Americas leading isolationist, has called upon his party Ito make clear and unmistakable every phase" of it's program for American relations with other countries and especially in these warlike days
 But, the perplexing question for Republicans is: What policy shall we adopt? For, within the party there are two widely divergent schools. There is Senator Borah's position that the United States should adhere to fortnight isolation. And there is second group which follows the banner of American CO., operation in the solution of world problems
 Senator Borah has brought the issue into the open in a public letter to a packer of Thomas E. Dewey. For there is a movement in the Dewey camp in support of American participation in world affairs, to block aggression and to promote peace.
 Now Senator Borah has called for a showdown, and the develop ments are certain to be interesting.
