Broodcustinq Venture With Delight

prises. To them, 1t is revolving
thought that any concern can bid
high enough to buy the services Of
the wife of the President of the
United States.
A great proportion of these people
are patriotic Americans who have
been strongly anti-New Deal but
are now in favor of the Presidents
foreign policy, anxious to support
him in international affairs and to
aid in the defense job. These will
not be pleased with Mrs. Roosevelts
new venture. They will not like hav-
ing her interpreting the news and
lnstructing them as to the facts. 1t
is true she has her millions who
cannot get enough of her, and will
welcome her back on the air, but
there are these other millions who
already have had too much. Another
weekly dose for a three-month pc
riod will not 90 down with them
very we'll.
Chill Ardor for Support.
1t will revive their resentment
about the whole White House COM
mercial capitalization business. 1t
will recall to them other activities
of Mrs. Roosevelt, such, for example,
as her recent encouragement of
strikes, her former coddling of young
Communists at the White House
and her membership in the Com
munistic Newspaper Guild. OF
course, it will not change their
feeling about the Presidents foreign
policy. nor cause them to withdraw
their support. That would be silly.
But it is bound to dampen> their
enthusiasm. 1t will chill the spirit
with which they would like to sup
port the President at time like this.
1t will make them think of things
they would rather forget. 1t will not
promote good feeling.
Whenever facts such as these are
stated about Mrs. Roosevelt, who
certainly has made herself a public
figure. and clearly relishes being one,
the disposition of her friends is to
regard it as an attack upon her. 1t
is nothing of the kind The idea
here is not to criticize. but merely to
present an accurate picture.
1t is a strange thing that Mrs,
Roosevelt has never been able to
appreciate thes basic argument
against her money-making activities
to wit, that the important thing is
not what she does with the money,
but how she gets it. She gets it
solely because she is the wife of the
President. That is why her publish
ers, sponsors and managers pay her
prices. II she wants to be convinced
of this she might try selling an
article or column of a broadcast
under an assumed name, or anony-
nous, sometime.

welt, Secretary of War Stimson
and Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles all warn of the
extreme gravity of the moment,
Senator Wheeler takes steps
which in any other country in
the world would be branded as
an attempt to stir up dissatis-
faction and come under the
charge of treason.
I Go not believe Senator
Wheeler is a traitor or that he
wishes anything but the best of
fortune for the United States.
He is only stubborn, bitterly
resentful man, provincial in out
look. abysmally ignorant of world
politics, and absolutely convinced
that he is trying to spare the
country the terrors of war. Even
the NaZiS Go not count ON Sem
ator Wheeler as reliable in their
councils. They merely count
him useful.
The America of the future that
the Nazis envisage, headed by a
government willing and eager to
collaborate with the new world
order, will not have a President
who is member of either major
party. They want an outsider
elected on a fusion ticket in this
chaos of national disaster. They
do not want a proVincially
minded man from Montana with
extremely strong national senti-
ments, but an unnationally mind
ed man willing to join in their
conspiracy to reorganize the
world in the interests of the new
Nietzschen type of mastermen.
Above all, they do not want a
man who is opposed to the con-
centrations Of the power of
supertrusts. economic consolida-
tions or relationships.
Policies Left in Doubt.
No, Mr.. Wheeler is not their
man except, like so many others,
he seems to favor them for the
moment. But Mr.. Wheeler,
though he is an lsolationist. cam
not isolate even his own actions.
What Senator Wheeler says is
news to London, Toxic, Berlin
and the islands of the seas. His
remarks and his actions raise
questions among men and diplo-
mats of many races and many
nations. One of the questions
raised is Does the United States
have any foreign policy at alp"

This Changing World
British Appear Ready to Meet New
japanese Aggression in Far Eost

Hong Kong. The price is that
London and Washington shall
not apply with full force the eco
nomic sanctions resulting from
the freezing of japanese funds.
The freezing order paralyzes all
trade between the United States,
Britain. the Netherlands East
Indies, and Japan.
How strictly this order will be
enforced depends on the good will
of the American and the British
governments. If these govern
menus can be induced to allow a
few essentials to filter through,
the japanese won't mind this
form of blockade But if the
order is rigidly enforced Japan
Is in a precarious position.
For the time being the State
Department has relented in re-
gard to the japanese ships which
have been lowering outside the
American Pacific Coast harbors.
Concession Logical.
This concession was natural
and logical. First of all it would
have been unethical to confs-
cate japanese ships which hap
pened to arrive in the United
States only few hours after the
economic warfare was declared,
Then, and this is still more i'm
portant than the ethical consid-
erations. We have number of
American ships in japanese or
Japanese controlled ports and
they would have been confscated
by the Nipponese authorities as
soon as we laid hands on Japans
ships in the American ports.
But in certain quarters in
Washington there is distinct
uneasiness lest the United States
Government begins To "humor"

Roosevelt. Probably it would sur
prise her very much that anyone
should think that she was not pro-
noting it. Yet, there is large num-
/ ber of American citizens who do
think exactly that. Their number
has not been reduced by the an
nouncement that in September she
will make her debut as a radio news
commentator. Her sponsors are
South American coffee growers. and
while the remuneration has not
been made public it can be accepted
that it is pretty big.
Mrs. Roosevelt does not sell her
I services cheaply. She gets top prices
For example, last year, when she
radioed for the Little Sweetheart
Toilet Soap Co. it was stated that
she received S2.50O for each broad
| cast That, as General johnson
would say, is not hay. In her new
! role, Mrs. Roosevelt undoubtedly
will eXude the same sort of sweet
ness and light, interSpel sed with
cunning little eulogies of her special
proteges, projects and policies, which
mark her lectures, syndicated COL
! umns and magazine articles. There
will be nothing remotely offensive in
what she says. There never is. She
is the most consistent and articulate
advocate of the true, the good and
| the beautiful in the country today.
Some Resent Money.
Nevertheless, her broadcasts will
not promote national unity because
the unfortunate truth is that While
Mrs. Roosevelt has very large
following which thinks she is per-
fectly splendid and regards her as
the embodiment of all virtue and
wisdom, it is equally true that there
are several million men and women
whom she irritates very much and
VINO think she is unpleasantly self
satisfied. And, whether the money
is given to charity or not, they al
ways will resent the use of her
White House connection to extract
large sums from commercial enter

The disappointment of Edwin S

sea and air attack against the
Far Eastern Gibraltar.
The expectations of military
observers are prompted by strs-
tegic considerations, rather than
by the knowledge that the British
are actually prepared to do some
thing when the japanese become
their next door neighbors in the
most delicate section of Asia.
British and Australian troops
have been landed since last
March in the Malay Peninsula. A
large number of airplanes have
been brought there from the
United States. Transports with
arms and ammunitions, anti-air
craft artillery have been unload
ing their cargoes at Singapore for
several months. All in all it is
believed that the British could
meet now the japanese threat if
London believes that the situ-
alton requires it. From the mill
tary point of view, there is no
question that some sort of i'm
mediate action to prevent a ma ior
danger later is necessary. But
whether from the political point
of view such an operation is feas-
able nobody here knows. London
has the answer and this will be
known soon.
Japan Offers Sop"
In the meantime the japanese
government has offered the
American and the British gov
ernments lollypop in the hope
of getting both governments to
relent somewhat the order which
froze the japanese funds in these
countries.
The "all-day sucker" has taken
the shape of vague promise that
the international settlement at
Shanghai, where some 1900
American Marines and a number
OF British troops are still sta
toned will not be interfered with
by the japanese authorities. A
similar promise is reported to
have been made in regard to

somehow its leaders would be-
come good boys overnight and

tories in the Far East.
There have been indications
here and in London that the
goodwill spokesmen have ap-
peared on the surface again and
are urging the responsible au-
thorities not to be too harsh
with Toxic lest we drive to de-
spair the military who are in the
saddle
And there are quite q few peo-
pie in London and in Washington
who believe that the better side
OF human nature is bound TO
show up in Toxic, if We don't
push the Japanese to despair.
In these quarters it is believed
that We can do nothing more
about Indo-China, but we must
make every conceivable endeavor
TO prevent the Japanese from
going farther and risk war with
the United States and Britain.

WheeIer's Policies and Tactics Declared Puzzle to
Both Friends and Enemies of America

have to say to be taken seri-
ously?"
IF a few men like Wheeler
can conduct their own policies
and their own indirect diplom-
acy, what value shall we attach
to official utterances?'
So the question arises whether
the United States is able to make
either peace or war or whether it
can ever have consistency in a
foreign policy which alone gives
a nation power and prestige in
the world, or whether it can be
counted as an ally for making
and preserving peace, or for
mutual and collaborative protec-
ton in time of war.
Indeed the precise answer to
Senator Wheeler's isolationism is
that his very words and actions
have international repercuSSionS
and he himself influences the
course of events thousands of
miles from Montana. The Axis
quotes and enlarges upon his
words, throws them hither and
yon in one form or another, using
them as rods with which to beat
the cringing nations under. its
sway.
Considers Peace Negative.
If we should say to Senator
Wheeler, Men like you are more
to blame than any others that
this war ever occurred" he would
call it another smear. Yet Mr..
Wheeler is as isolationist for
peace. AS for war, men of his
mind have forced the American
Nation to throw away or leave
unused the mighty power won
for it here in 1918 with the sac
rifice of brave Americans. He is
a leading representative of the
mind that thinks that peace is
something negative, something
that occurs out of bucolic nit
WittedneSS, not something that is
made and kept by power and
power alone.
He is no advocate of another
foreign policy than that of the
President. He advocates no for
elgn policy at all. He is great
apologist for a vacuum. Unfor-
tunately, vacuums invite that
they be fielled with something,
and that something that fills a
vacuum in foreign policy usually
is aggressive war.
War is now on our doorstep,
but Mr.. Wheeler thinks he can
fill the vacuum by postal cards.
If only we can get the sentiment
for it he apparently thinks We
shall certainly have peace. This
is a highly gratifying thought
to our enemies, whose foreign pol
icv for America is exactly Sena-
tor Wheeler's absence of one.
Absence of one invites their in
tervention in America in place of
our intervention elsewhere. There
is always an intervention issue.
The only question is of who does
the intervening.
II Japan is hesitating about in
tervening, Senator Wheeler en-
Courages her to take steps. Mr..
Wheeler divests himself OF re-
sponsibility for his actions by
affirming purity motives. but his
tory takes little account of mo-
tives. 1t judges by results.
Brutus and others have been
honorable men.
