not yet demonstrated that it can

The result is that economic pres

starving the enemy if possible

ing weapons.
So far, the greatest Allied eff
fort has been given to cutting
off Germany's supplies. And so
far, the greatest German effort
has been given to creating new
sources of supply to offset those
which the British Navy, aided
by the much smaller French
Navy, has been able to destroy.
The upshot is that the Allies con-
troll the oceans, but it is not
enough. Supplies have been bought
in incredible quantities by neu-
trail powers to be reshipped to
the Reich.

Germany's sudden invasion of
both Denmark and Norway last
week overshadowed all domestic
issues in the nations capital. Of
ficial reaction to the surprising
German aggression was guarded.
Proclamations were issued by the
President extending the ban on
American shipping to the new

Latest trend in the war is the
Allies announcement that they
plan to tighten and extend their
blockade against Germany. That
announcement has sent chills up
and down the spines of states
men of the smaller European
neutral powers, of which the
Scandinavian countries are most
directly affected. On top of that,
the economic repercussions will
be felt throughout the world
including the remote United
States.
The Allied action is complete
ly understandable. The old
technique of war has apparently
become obSolete-no longer can
masses of land troops be sent in
vicious offensives against the
enemy. In the light of present
day Notifications such as the
Westwall and the Siegfried line,
military experts believe it would

lied sympathy in this country,
there seems little likelihood of
any significant protests. The
Federal government apparently
tacitly approves the Allied pro-
gram.

Business is marking time. The
downward trend evident recent
ly has been checked in most
lines, but no significant upward
trend has yet appeared.
Steel production is at a ma
terially lower level than last
year-due largely to the fact
that production was ahead of con-
sumption in 1889.
Automobile production is run
ming ahead of the level of year
ago, and late estimates indicate
that 4,250,O0O cars will be made
this year, as against 3,750,000 in
1899.
Domestic construction goes
ahead. This years houses gen.
orally are smaller and slightly
cheaper than last years houses.
The result is that while more
dwellings are being erected, the
total value is somewhat less.

up hope of any big 'war BOOM.

be found at home. Our direct
trade with Germany has dropped
to the vanishing point. Yet our
trade with Russia and the small
er countries which share COM
mon frontiers with Germany has
increased vastly. According to
a New York Times account, since
October, Russia has been spend
ing $10,000,000 a month in this
country ,and most of the money
has gone for metals and other es-
sential materials of war. 1t is an
ironical fact that Russia has
bought large quantities of tin
here, obviously acting as an agent
for Germany-and that tin came
in the first place from the Straits
Settlements, British possession.
The British government, says
the Times, regards this 'as a
breach of faith on the part of
American exporters.
Allied plan is to restrict neu-
trail imports to a normal which
is based on pre-war consump-
ton. They will not be permit
ted to have more, even if it be-
comes necessary to send Allied
warships into neutral waters to
seize the contraband. And con-
traband control, the Admiralty
in London has grimly announc-
ed, is now to cover the Pacific
as well as the Atlantic.

The German attempt to incor-
porate these two small neutral
nations into the economic regime
of the Reich created a profund
impression. Slowly, the idea is
becoming accepted that after the
war, regardless Of which side
wins, the world will be divided
into closely organized economic
groups. Just what position the
United States will occupy in re-
lation to the groups depends, of
course, upon how the war cul-

If Germany succeeds in her
pesent effort to incorporate vari-
Gus neutral nations In the eco
nonlic organization of the Reich,
the commercial interests of the
United States will be curtailed.
Back of the sudden invasion of
Denmark and Norway is the eff
fort of Germany to extend her
economic frontier, to secure a
source of supply which can be
compelled to work in harmony
with German purposes. Without
adequate credit, and unable to
build up sufficient foreign ex-
change to facilitate the natural
commerce, Germany is grabbing
adjacent territory in order to
control the raw material and
trade of the area.

1t is not hard to imagine that
Italy, under Mussolini, will con-
tinue the development of her eco
nomic affairs in close harmony
with those of Germany. Conse-
quently mot only the. domestic
trade of italy but her foreign
commerce will be organized, upon,
the Nazi pattern. Gradually, the
pressure of Russia, Germany and
Italy, oexerted upon the smaller
Balkan powers. will infold them
into the new economic scheme.

If Germany wins, it is a fore
gone conclusion that world trade
as it was known twenty-five
years ago, will be seriously Grip
pied if not almost destroyed. If
Great Britain and France win, it
is argued, tAe war effort will pro-
duce sucn economic strain that
these nations will be compelled
to adopt methods heretofore used
by the totalitarian states.

The Illinois primaries produced
no great surprises, with the
President and Mr.. Dewey scoring
success at the polls. The New
York prosecutor undoubtedly
boosted his position in relation
to other Republican candidates
for the presidential nomination.
The President, in winning easily
over the Vice-President, ran
true to form but the meaning of
the election will depend upon
what plans Mr.. Roosevelt has for
himself The Dewey campaign
has been greatly assisted by the
Wisconsin and Illinois results and
it looks as if his popular strength
will force serious consideration
at the Convention in Philadel-
phia.

Every time this happens, the
prospect of the United States and
our hope that foreign markets
for our products may develop in
the future are given a serious
setback. If the process continues
long enough, there will be no
body to trade with except South
America and we may have to re-
sort to drastic methods to pro-
tect this market.
The Key West citizen., 1940-04-19

In the light of these facts, there
is some speculation as to the fu-
ture effectiveness of the trade
agreement act, recently extended
by Congress until June IL, 1943.
Unless the nations of the world
return to something like normal
trade relations, there will be
many difficulties in the way of

1t is already apparent that
Soviet Russia, due to various rea-
sons, is following a policy of ma

is little prospect that there will
be any reversion to normal COM
mercial practices so far as Soviet
Russia is concerned. There will
be, and there has been some

In the Far East, the Japanese
campaign against China is de-
signed to capture control of Chi

seriously affected and our future

Film Properly Man
Seeks Horse Flies

Without trying to be punny
about 1t, Joe Mcdonald; Hal Roach
property man, went about the "Of
Mice and Men" set asking one and
all II they had seen a horse fly.
This new film is the current at
traction at the Music Box theater
through United Artists release.
The flies were needed for a scene
in which Slim, portrayed by
Charles Bickford, flieks an insect
from the hide of mule with a
bull-whip. Desperately. Mcdonald
searched the stable. He couldn't
find any.
So, finally he drove the 40 miles
from Aguora Ranch. where the
John Steinbeck story was being
filmed for Hal Roach, to the studio.
He sat up into the small hours
constructing synthetic horse flies.
Next morning he appeared on the
set, proudly exhibiting his handi-
work.
I'VE don't need EN-" he was
told. I'VE found lots of them-the
real thing" The flies had been
found-of all places-on horse.
