This is a strange editorial treatment OF
4 question forced into the current preSl-
Dental campaign. The question is the
issue of whether President Roosevelt or
Wendell Willkie is the original champion
Of appeasement, and whether Hitler
would be pleased or displeased- with the
election of Mr.. Roosevelt.
Early in the campaign Vlce-Preslden-
tial Candidate Henry A: Wallace, at
femnting to steer the political discussions
primarily toward international affairs,
declared bluntly that the Republican
party was 'the party of appeasement''
and that Mr.. Willkie was high priest OF
compromise with aggression. He asked
the people to vote for Mr.. Roosevelt be
cause. he said, that would displease Hit

Willkie answered. Gle had announced

WASHINGTON, Sept 27-The
National Defense Commissions blast
at Thurman Arnold's proposed
antitrust action in the oil industry
was lot less drastic than some OF
the people in the antitrust division
had feared.
The commission reported to At
torney General Jackson that the
oil suit might "beclouG relation
ships between the government and
industry" in connection with de-
fense, but it pointedly did not ask
that the action be dropped. Instead,
it left the whole matter up to Jack
son.
AS a result. the betting now is
that the suit will be filed in the
very near future. 1t may be toned
down some: instead of asking that
the % major oil companies be
forced TO get rid of their pipe lines
and marketing facilities it might
simply ask the court to grant such
relief as the facts warrant. The
general effect. however, would be
much the same.
TOO LATE FOR
SENATE QUIZ
If it hadn't been for an odd chain
of circumstances, the senate would
long since have held exhaustive
public hearings on the very point
Arnold is now seeking to attack
in open court-the question whe-
ther pipe line and marketing facili-
ties owned by the big oil companies
do not tend to kill competition and
raise prices to the consumer.
Nearly two years ago Senator
Gillette of Iowa put in a bill TO
divorce the oil companies from their
marketing facilities. He was all set
to open public hearings when the
late Senator Borah asked him TO
hold it: Borah had bill to make
them give up their pipe lines, and
he suggested the two bills be CONSOLE
dated and hearings held on both
matters at once.
Gillette agreed. Then Borah got

not appear in the papers until
two days later, Sept. 26.
HITLER AGREES
TO FARLEY
At this point the record be-

2s Neville Chamberlain rose in
Parliament to explain the failure
of his mission at GOdesbers.
While ne was on his feet a mes
senger rushed in and handed him
a note. This note informed the
Prime Minister that Hitler had
agreed to a fOur-pOwer confer
ence at Munich of Hitler, Cham
berlain, Daladier and MussOlini.
This offer of Hitler was the re-
suit of an intervention by Musso-
lini the day before. Thereafter
the famous and tragic Munich
conference was held at which
CzechOslovakia was delivered into
the hands of the Nazi dictator.
This was the great act OF ap-
peasement. The agreement was
reached Sept. 80 and the next
day Hitler marched over the Su-

This is the best summary we have ever

From it, each of us should make up
our own minds whether Mr. Roosevelt ls'

lomats, and whether Mr.. Willkie was gull
ty of pure fabrication in his criticisms.
In all fairness to Mr. Roosevelt, it must
be remembered that, at the time, prac-
tically every person in America and Eng
land thought the Munich agreement an
historical achievement in maintaining
peace.
Events of the last II months have
shown it to be one OF history's greatest

In Jugoslavia there is no war. Crops
were reasonably good. Nevertheless,
strict food control was recently de-

still expect this little nation to
keep up the large exports to the
Fascist countries. .. -,
The formula will always be the
same: First war, then famine. One

other, but the end is the same. The
sufferers will be those who never
sought war. They will be the women
