-''ss - wv 6ING hbtAtuuS which means no fighting unless at- tackled. Norway, Holland and Bel. gium provide evidence of the wis. dom of such a policy.
 There Is an excellent opportunity for some prospective candidate to get far out in front by dealing bold- ly with the new situation. The fol- lowing points are suggested to the consideration of all such persons. That something of the gort is sore- ly needed is shown by the way in which all parties concerned are to- day groping, fumbling, or pussyfoot- ing with the issue.
 1. The program of defense, 50 completely accepted by the people, admits a prospective enemy. This enemy can only be Germany, plus such allies as may join with her. There may yet be time to discuss and to decide whether 1t is better to meet. that enemy while help .s available rather than wait till we may have to do 1t alone. An affirm ative here means entrance into the war. The only help we can give quickly would be military planes, lack of which may shortly decide the outcome against the Allies.
 2. If all of the candidates are unwilling to take a stand on this crucial point, they should at least be thinking more constructively than their utterances would ifidi. cate about the scope of the pro- posed defense policy. For example:
 (a) Does It's include the whole Western Hemisphere?
 (b) Is 1t limited to North Amer
 co or is 1t still more narrowly limited to the United States?
 (d) What outposts. and where, are needed for support of which, ever of these concepts of 8 defense program is to be adopted?
 Co What technique of defense is to be adopted--are we to rely main- ly on Q navy, or air craft, or tanks, or on what?
 Clearly we cannot go far in spending money for defense with out going wrong unless we can have . policy by which to guide the pro- eyair. As yet, no one has said what we intend to defend.
 3. There are measures short of war that should be taken now should have been taken long ago. These are: (a) repeal of the John son Act, and (b) repeal of cash and carry. Tine desperate manipulation of trade and exchange to which these measures have driven the AL lies is harmful, both to our own

U. s. ON RECORD

Washington, June 18.-(Up)-The threatened break-up of the French empire appeared today to have as- Sured prompt congressional approval of a resolution to put the United States on record against recogniz. ing transfer of any Western Hern- isphere territory from one non-Am. erican nation to another.
 The senate passed the resolution yesterday by 76 to o vote as un. ofilcial reports circulated that the totalitariar, powers would divide up French colonies, including those in this hemisphere. Quick house pas- sage was anticipated.
 The resolution says that any at- tempt to transfer Western Hem isphere territory would endanger the peace and security not only of this country but of the other Amer ican republics" and that the United States would neither recognize nor acquiesce in any such move.
 Its second section provides for consultation among the 2i American republics "to determine upon the steps which should be taken to safeguard their common interests'' in event of such an attempt. Such consultatino also is called for un- der the agreement reached by the inter American conference ct Panama City last fail.
 Chairman Key PittSnan of the senate foreign relations committed and author of the resolution hailed the unanimous senate approval as concrete evidence of support for President Rooeevelts vigorous ad- vocacy of the Monroe Doctrine. NO ADJOURNMENT Washington, June le--(UP)-The congressional adjournment fight waa a thing of the past today, with all thought of adjournment before the Republican National Convention convenes next Monday discarded.
 Only question still remaining was whether congress should excess url- til both Republican and Democratic conventions are over, or take one. week yecesses while the conventions are in progress.
 Administration leaders in congress proposed a recess from Saturday until some fixed date such as Aug. 1 or Aug. IS. This met prompt CD. position from Senate Republican Leader Charles |. McNafy, R., Ore, and House Republican Leader Jo- seph ". Martin, Jr.
 I'm going to insist on congress remaining ii continuous session." McNary said. These are critical times and Tin opposed to recessing to a definite date"
 Martin added that with world ai- fairs in their present state. and na- tons undergoing unpfedictable changes from day to day, six weeks or more was fer too long c recess.
 Administration leaders believed they could find the votes for such c recess. Martin, however, said he thought enough house Democrats would vote for continuous session to block 1t.

 1. The candidates should also be considering legislative changes to expedite our defense operations, such as repeal of the Walsh -Healy Act, and modification of the wage and hour law sand the national la bor act. They should be speaking clearly and forcefully on the clart- flcation of the general government tai policy of regulation and con- trol.
 5. Finally, they should be giving constructive consideration to the proper means of financing our de. fense against the coming war. This Is not Q minor detail, as MT. Roose- welt put 1t, but a most important element in the program.
 It is ridiculous for all of the caf1- didates to seek to avoid these Issues until after the election, or even uin. til after the conventions.

 Committee Chairman Carl Win. son, predicting that the bill may be sent to the house by nightfall said the expanded program event. uaily would give this country the Largest navy in the world" Chair man David I. walsh of the Senate Naval Affairs Committee said he viewed 1t as "the first step toward construction of two-ocean navy
 Meanwhile, senate appropria- tions subcommittee prepared to vote today on the. house-approved $1,706, 900, 900 supplemental army navy supply bill, which carries nearly $570,000,000 for naval expan- sion. Chairman Alva B. Adams said the full committee probably would consider the measure tomor- TOW, and that 1t might be approved hy the senate Thursday.
 The European war, congressional leaders said, has demonstrated ct least two needs for our naval ac- tivities:
 1-Expansion of our neutrality patrol 10 prevent infringement upon the Monroe Doctrine. RecommiS- stoned destroyers are expected to be used in this work.
 2--Re-design of warships to cope with lighter, swifter craft being de- veloped abroad and to out-naneu- yer attacking airplanes.
 Walsh said that under the new construction program, naval experts would be given an option on design, and that "laymen in congress" would not attempt to settle the is- sue between proponents of heavy, powerful ships and advocates of a vast fleet of smaller, faster craft.
 According to navy figures, our fleet, when built up to 1924 strength, will be about 2l04,080 tons cor1- pared with Great Britain's estimat- ed present strength of 2,i0i ,804 tons. British war losses figured in vinson's prediction that we would possess the worlds greatest fleet within five years.
