WHY ALL THE
PEACT SENTIMENTS?

Sudden emergence CT peace SEN
timent in England isn't surprising
to those IN Washington who have
kept in close touch. They say that
from the moment the war started
a considerable part Of British opin-
ion favored a speedy peace; they
doubt sentiment is much stronger
now than in September. but say it
is simply coming out in the open.
Why it should be coming out is
the puzzler. After all, there's a
strict censorship on, and lots of
wartime controls. Is the British
government letting theh populace
blow off a littel steam, as the grim
ness Of the Allied prospect be-
come public knowledge for reasons
still undisclosed?

WATCH
MESSERSMITH
Climax in the conflict of ideas
came around the beginning of the
year. The Welles group sold the
idea Of a peace mission to the
President. Messersmith went into
eclipse, the Cuban appointment be-
distinctly on theh order of an as
signment to Siberia.
Two ambassadorships were va
cant at the time: Cuba, and Bel.
GUM. Messersmith preferred Bel
GUM, and didn't want Cuba at all;
wasn't, in fact, by past experience,
articularly fitted for any Latin
American post. The Cuban nominal
alton was an obvious triumph for
the Welles group; Messersmith de-
bated refusing to accept, finally
took it on the theory that there'd
be another day, etc.
He may prove to be quite correst.
F. D. r. leans strongly to Messer-
smiths point of view; in some quar-.
tiers the whole Welles mission is
looked IN as merely a temporary
concession by the President design
ed to pacify the peace bloc and to
give the departments ~strict-neutral-
ity crowd a chance to show what
it could do.
If that is a correct appraisal,
the pendulum may swing the other
way presently. Watch Messersmith;

nomination II Taft cannot get It.
The Governor, however, Is playing
the game for Taft and will 90 down
the line for him.
The Taft supporters are confident
that the West Virginia primary, also
held today for the election of dele
gates to the G. o. p. National Con-
vention. will result in an increase
In the Taft strength. Indeed, they
have claimed for some time the
support of the West Virginia dele
cation. Neither Dewey nor Taft
entered the West Virginia primary
and Dewey stayed out of Ohio's
primary as he has out OF, other
States which have favorite sons to
put forward for the presidential
nomination. The New Yorker was
ready to file in West Virginia had
Taft filed there, and Taft was
equally ready to file there had
Dewey entered.
Senator Taft is starting another
swing through the Middle West to-
morrow night. swing which the
Taft managers believe will do much
to .crystalize support for his pres
idential nomination in that section
Of the country. He goes first to
Cincinnati, and then to Chicago, Des
Moines, Topeka. where he Is to be
q guest Of former Gov. ALI M. Lam
don: st. Louis, where he Is expected
to make an address giving In detail
his views Of Americas foreign policy,
and finally Indianapolis. During
this trip Mr.. Taft will meet with
many Of the Republican State lead
ers. It has been the policy of the
Taft campaign to deal with the
leaders rather than to go into the
primaries. It may be an effective
policy.
Talk to Kentuckians.
While Senator Taft will not go
into Kentucky. he will be in a posi-
ton when he is in Cincinnati to talk
with Kentucky Republicans, just
across the Ohio River. The Ken
lucky Republican State Convention
will be held May %, and there, too,
the Taft supporters hope to pick
up lot Of delegates to the ma
tional convention. The Indiana Re-
publican State Convention takes

While the French, British and

able to float loan in this coun-
try with the proceeds of which they
can pay for the arms and ammu-
nitions they are purchasing here.
The Netherlands armies are being
pushed back by the invading Ger.
mans, but have not been routed.
Queen Wilhelmina is in London
now and will direct her armies from
the British capital. In the event
the Dutch are compelled to evac.
uate their country they will re-
form on French soil-like the Bel.
gians in the last war-and will
fight again. But they will need,
more than before. good deal of
war equipment. and the allies would
prefer that they buy it in the
United States.
Settlement Considered.
There is no question that the
Netherlands government can obtain
a loan in the United States with
out trouble. The Neutrality Act IL
applied against them, but the John.
son Act does not affect them.
According to reports from the al
lied capitals there is a thought Of
escaping the penalties of the john
son Act by offering the United
States settlement which would be
acceptable to Congress.
No definite proposals have been
formulated. but it is believed that
before long the British and French
might offer some of their Caribbean
and South American possessions as
a mortgage-not a sale-for the
outstanding Indebtedness. It would
not be transfer Of nag, but Just Q
guarantee, based on real estate, that
the debts will be paid after . num-
Der of years. Naturally the allies
will insist on a drastic reduction

territorial integrity would not be
violated
Asked for Assurances.

The record of what has happened
with respect to small nations in the
last few months is the impressive
fact that is changing public opinion
on the maintenance of technical
neutrality. President Roosevelt, it
will be recalled, asked Chancellor
Hitler last year to give public as
surances that he did not intend to
attack Holland, Belgium, Norway,
Sweden and Poland. among other
countries in the list. The Nazis
ridlculed the query and called it i'm
pertinent. History reveals now that
after the President of the United
States asked for solemn assurances
those which were given to the small
er nations were fagrantly disre-
garded by the Nazi regime.
The German psychology is that
might makes right and strikes ter
ror 1t does temporarily, but free
nations accept temporary reverses
and grid themselves for a long, long
fight for human freedom. Americas S
benevolent neutrality to the allies
has been brought into being by the
Nazi violation of Dutch and Bel
gian neutrality.
America is not in the war and
hopes to keep out, but the American
war machine will be brought quickly
to top efficiency and will supply the
allies with their needs. Ultimately,
credits will be extended. Opposition
to this has arisen in Congress, but
the Aperican people will support it
because they believe that it is better
to help the allies stave of defeat
than it is to become involved in war
with the Nazis when the allies have
been defeated and are unable to
help. Clearly the European war is
no longer phony affair in the eyes
Of anybody in Washington.
