WASHINGTO,

though President Roosevelt has
said publicly he assumes" Secre-
tary of Agriculture Henry Wallace
won't resign in order to campaign
for the vice presidency, there are
New Deal strategists who are hop
ing the secretary Will step down.
They see two things to be gain
ed that way: some of the disgruntl-
ed party brethren could be ap-
peaSed, and farmers who don't like
the Wallace crop-cortrol program
could be brought back into the fold.
To replace Wallace they are sug-
gesting Congressman Marvin Jones
of Texas, chairman of the House
Committee on Agriculture.
Farmers who oppose Wallaces
production control ideas would
warm up to Jones. since he has
been identified with the more pop

a Garner Democrat putting him
in the cabinet would assuage a lot
of wounded feelings in the south

WILL CHINA TURN?
Sacramento Union

Asia for the Asiatics" has long been
the cry of the japanese government, and
today, with the indirect help of the le-
.gions of Adolf Hitler, this seems in a
fair way to become true.
Realizing the English had their hands
full in Europe, the Japanese pulled a
squeeze play on England and forced the
closing of the route through Burma
which had been Chang Kai-Shek's life
line for supplies.
Despite its vast manpower, the Chi
nese army cannot hope to battle the
Japanese without arms and munitions
In pure self-defense, the Chinese may
have to aid the program for forcing
Europeans and Americans out of Asia
And down in India the tail of the
British lion is being given no slight
twisting as nationalist forces become
more and more vociferous for freedom
If China joins Japan and the two
are aided by India, a combination that
would be extremely difficult to beat
could easily mark an end to the sway of
the European in Asia

its recent acquisitions hint that the
navy proposes to be all set if it
should become necessary soon to
ship a moderate-sized expedition
ary force off to some new world
spot or other.
Ships most recently acquired are
the Santa Barbara and Santa Ma
ria, 16,000-ton passenger ships from
the Grace Line, and the 14000-ton
liners President Jackson and
President Grant, from the Mari
time Commission. Classed as auXil-
iaries, these ship are in fact being
refitted as transports. That doesn't
point to any European expedition
ary force-for such an undertaking
the navy would have to fit out
transports by the dozen-but the
four ships could carry several regi-
ments to some trouble spot in this
hemisphere.
The Maritime Commission, Incl
dentally, is proving its value from
a preparedness angle. In addition
to the two president liners, it has
recently turned over to the navy

tankers. and a brand-new 11,70O

The navy is also dickering for two

it has practically the entire Mari
time Commission merchant fleet

Willis Thorntons Editorial On:
Building the Hemisphere

There is a lot of talk about the
western Hemisphere these days
especially with an emergency con-
ference of its foreign ministers in
session at Havana.
Nearly all this talk is CONCERNED,
and properly SO, with specific
things that can be done to improve
the prospects of the western ma
tiOnS-political tie-ups, economic
cooperation, military co-ordina-
ton.
But we would do we'll to keep
one eye on the other forces which.
without benefit of ballyhoo, are
gradually building a greater civil
ization throughout the Western
Hemisphere, linking it together as
one great unified area.
Canada, for instance, will never
be the same after this war, no mat
ter what it's outcome. To help de-
fend Britain, it is building vast in
dllstries where there were no indus
tries before. The present program
is designed to make Canada entire
ly independent of any outside
source for weapons and munitions
of war. Every type of weapon and
projectile. every type of plane, will
soon be produced in Canada itself
Twelve new arms factories were
recently announced, and to date
more than $800OO,OOO in new plants
either has been or is about to be
added to Canada's industrial plant.
This means that Canada after the
war will be in a far better position
to maintain independence, should
it wish to do so, or find it neces-
sary to do so, than it was after the
last war 1t means that vast area
of North America is better able to
defend itself than ever before
Greater Canadian industrialization
and defense power is an All-Am-
erican asset.
Meanwhile Royal Dutch Shell
moves bodily out of The Hague,
and holds its first meeting in Cur
acao, Netherlands West Indies.
Other companies with European
headquarters from which American
resources were exploited are ex-

pected to follow suit.
Brazil is building a great steel
industry and her own naval ves-
sells. She is improving her railroads.
A second trans -Ardean railroad
between Bolivia and Brazil is pro-
jected. Peru is opening road sys-
tenn from the Pacific coast over
the Andes into the Amazon hinter-'
land. Roads are rapidly building
in almost every country.
All this opening-up and indus
trialization ought to mean greater
production, with a higher standard
of living, greater interchange OF
products, and greater defensive
ability for all the American coun-
tries.

VAGUE PROMISE
GAINED SEVEN VOTES

Senator Josh Lee of Oklahoma
really started the Jones boom. AT
the convention he discovered the
Oklahoma delegation wouldn't &C
for Wallace; in caucus, the secre-
tary got only four votes. So Lee
hunted up Harry Hopkins and sug-
gested that Wallace, if nominated
be replaced by Jones.
Hopkins replied that he naturally
had no authority to promise any
thing of the kind, but would pro-
mise to lay the request before the
boss back in Washington. Lee re-
turned To his delegation and made
his report: and merely on the
strength of that very "iffy" pro
mise. the Wallace vote in the Ok
lahoma delegation jumped from
four TO II.
To Lee. and to others. that indi-
Gates the kind of gains the New
Deal could make by the change.
Current betting, however. is that
Wallace will keep his job, but will

UNCLE SAM-DEFENDER
OF THE AMERICAS

History is in the middle of chapter
! in Europe today.
History finished a chapter at Havana
this week.
Not since the Monroe doctrine was
formulated has there been more far
reaching action than that of 81 western
hemisphere republics at Havana when
they signed a document which, in effect,
/ the action made the United States Off
cial defender of the western hemisphere.
The Havana agreement signed Tues
| day. gives the free nations of the western
hemisphere the right to move armed
forces to the aid of any American re-
public which may be threatened by ag-
gression Very important is the clause
which provides that the nation so moving
/ its army or navy does not have to first
confer with the other republics. 1t can
act first, and talk later.
Since no other American republic has
navy or an army Large enough to reck-
on with, the treaty in effect gives Uncle
Sam the right to send his navy and his
troops where he will, without first ask
| ing permission, if any republic is in
danger of being annihilated by an alien
aggressor.
In brief, if Argentina, for instance,
were today threatened by Germany or
Italy, the United States could move its
navy in that direction without warning
to anyone-could even, for that matter,
take up war against the invader without
giving warning of that fact.
The Havana agreement was distinct
victory for the United States in the world
|of today.
In the world of tomorrow? Who
knows?
1t at the very least imposes burden
and duty upon this country which will
|outlast the period of this present crisis
by many years.
In Europe, dictators and democracies
alike must recognize that the Havana
agreement definitely establishes, through
democratic methods, that Uncle Sans
sphere of Influence" is the western hem
isphere.
And the people of the United States
must realize the full import of that
sphere of influence-for it means that
our frontiers are no longer bounded on
the north by Canada and on the south
by Mexico; they are now bounded on the
south by Cape Horn and on the north
by the North Pole itself

WHAT ABOUT THE
YEARS TO CONE?

We cheer the Havana agreement to-
day because it recognizes our hemis
pheric solidarity.
Unless industry and the government
|get together, we may damn that same
agreement after few years have passed.
We in the United States have shou-
|dered the burden of keeping up an army
land navy big enough to defend the whole
western. hemisphere.
The responsibility will be costly
acquisition indeed if the nations of Eur
|ope and Asia are able in the years to
come to get lions share of the trade
from South America Our armed de-
fenses will not be worth a hoot in rain
barrel if our national government so
hampers private industry that it cannot
take advantage of the economic oppor-
|tunities in South America.
One and the same with armed de-
fense must be economic defense-a de-
fense which recognizes and protects the
right Of industry in the United States
to venture southwark without being
knitted in the back at home.
