Judging by all recent experience,
we could, all of us. look forward to
enthusiastic applause in those three
nations based on the claim that
the United States is disunited as
they have so often prophesied.'
Fears Situation at Home.
The President took the oppOr-
tunity of mentioning. too, that fall
ure of the House to take favorable
action on the Senate amendments
would also weaken our domestic
situation.
He wrote his House leaders that
such failure would weaken the Ma
tons efforts to produce all it could
as rapidly as possible and remarked
that strikes and stoppages OF work
would become less serious IN the
mind of the public.
AS the Presidents letter was be-
ing received the administration also
found encouragement from develop
ments on the floor, where Repre-
sentative Taber, Republican, of New
York, and Representative Tarver
Democrat, of Georgia. spoke for the
bill. Both were unexpected sup
porters.
Secretary of State Hull took al
active part in efforts to obtain a.
large a vote as possible for the re-
vision measure. He talked by tele
phone during the morning with Rep
resentatives Dies and johnson. botf
Democrats of Texas; Robertson
Democrat, of Virginia and Taber.
1t was learned that these member
of the House called the secretary
presumably to obtain his views OF

Room For Hope

Before taking it as final that Yugoslavia
will throw in fully and finally as a junior men,
Der of the Axis it is just as well to recall that
Nazi estimates of the results Of Hitler's diplo-
matte moves are sometimes exaggerated. They
may be over-optimistic now.
Fresh in the mind is a recent example of a
German maneuver that was advertised to be
something that it was not. Two weeks ago the
Paris press, under stimulation from the Ger
man authorities in occupied France, was GER
tain that Marshal Petain would take Pierre
Laval back into his cabinet. And it did seem
that everything pointed that way. But the
French chief of state rejected Mr.. LavaPs de-
It is not possible to say that this is a major
German defeat, for the Nazis have expressed
considerable liking for Admiral Darlan and
their wishes were carried out as far as M.
Flandin was concerned. Yet it was far from
a complete victory, as Berlin tacitly admitted
by insisting that the new set-up at vichy is
only temporary"
Thus there is a possibility that the Yugo-
slavs will prove less amenable to Hitler's
ideas that he expects. It is true that the coun-
try has been torn by internal dissention, that
its economy is dependent on Axis countries,
and that its strategic position is far from
strong. On the other hand, national sentiment
for freedom and the army's readiness to fight
for independence must be taken into account.
Granted that the acceptance of the sum-
mons to Berchtesgaden was a bad sign and
granted that reports of what took place there
are not encouraging, it must not be forgotten
that the Yugoslav statesmen had some cards
up their sleeve. There is still room for hope
that Yugoslavia will not be Hitler's latest VIC
tim, despite the reports circulated from Ber-
lin. S

Lull In Storm

For the moment the threatening clouds that
seemed to portend an imminent storm in the
Far East have blown over. On the word of the
Japanese themselves there is no warrant for
the conclusion that the present tension means
certain war.
The statement issued by the cabinet infor-
NATION bureau at Tokyo is significant in more
ways than one. 1t came after a series of de-
velopments that looked extremely grave : and
1t came promptly. Furthermore, though it was
directed at Japanese residents in North and
South America, there is good reason to be-
lieve that it was also intended to quiet appre-
tensions at home.
1t is justifiable to conclude, in these circum'
stances, that Japan is not prepared to precipi.
tate matters at this time. 1t is also obvious
that the japanese people are worried by the
course their government is taking and are par
~ticularly nervous over the possibility that they
will wake up some morning to find theil
country at war with the United States.
That, it seems to us, is a very healthy frame
Of mind for the Japanese people to be in. L
they continue to realize where they are being
taken and the likely consequences facing then
at the end of that road, they may succeed

Debt Mounts

In raising the debt limit from $49,o ooo'
600 to Sos, 900, 900, 900 congress merely accepts
the inevitable. 1t does not by this decision IN
tend to encourage a policy of careless spend
ing. Neither does it put its stamp OF approval
upon our national financial condition.
That even the staunchest advocates of gov
ernmental economy supported an increase in
the size of the national debt need cause no
surprise. What else was there for them to do?
Money by the billions is being spent for de-
tense purposes. To raise it through taxation
would ruin industry and individuals alike. So
there must be resort to more and more borrow
ing and another mortgage must be laid on
Americas future.
Doubtless the country will survive under
the rising mountain of federal indebtedness.
But we must never close our eyes to the men
ace contained in the program. Already the
people are paying something like 81, 200, 000,-
900 a year in interest on the debt. When the
new limit is reached the annual charge will be
well over 81, 800, 600, 900.
Here is a fixed burden that rests on the
shoulders of every man, woman and child.
There is no way of relieving them of the job
of carrying it around with them.
