behind the President"
Mrs. Byron of Maryland, supported
the joint resolution declaring thai
her husband had served in the las
war.
81 am 100 per cent back of thi.
resolution and willing to give my
sons if necessary" she said.
Representative Jeanette Rankin
of Montana, cast the only dissenting
vote on the resolution. She voted
likewise in 1917 against Americas
entry into World War I.
Every Senator Voted "Aye".
When the clerk called the roll
every Senator in his turn answered
aye.
The vote showed the Senate more
united today than at the start OF
the last war, when the roll call on
the declaration of war passed, 81
to 6.
The veteran Senator Norris, in
dependent, of Nebraska, who voted
against war in 1917, answered "aye'
Monday.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive
of Wisconsin, whose father opposed
the war resolution of 1917, also
joined in making the action unani-
nous.
The text of the resolution follows:
Whereas, the imperial government
has committed unprovoked acts of
war against the Government and
the people of the United States of
America;
Therefore, be it resolved by the
Senate and House of Representatives
of the United States of America in
Congress assembled,
THAT the state of war between
the United States and the imperial
japanese government, which has thus
been thrust upon the United States,
is hereby formally declared; and the
President is hereby authorized and
directed to employ the entire naval
and military forces of the United
States and the resources of the Gov
eminent to carry on war against
the Japanese government; and, to
bring the conflict to a successful
termination, all of the resources of
the country are hereby pledged by
the Congress of the United States"
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, widow Of
the first World war President, occu-
pied a seat in one Of the galleries
beside Mrs. Roosevelt, the wife of the
President.
Shipstead Says Unite for Victory.
The following statement was issued
by Senator Shipstead: ''The die is
cast. Twenty-seven years of Ameri-
can foreign policy have ended in
failure. 1t has again brought us to
war. The reasons therefor will be
recorded in history. The American
people must now accept the conse-
quences. No argument now can al
ter the tragic facts. The only course
we can now pursue is to unite for
victory"

INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW

front where the Germans have
been driven into humiliating re-
treat. They not only had to aban-
don Rostov, but they had to ac-
cept continuous and persistent
Russian pursuit.
Germany's abject failure in this
sector means that the portals to the
Caucasian oil fields have been bolted,
at least for the time being. Since
it is the first real defeat Hitler has
suffered, it may also mean the in
classification of the revolt against his
regime in Germany itself and in
German-occupied countries. Revolts
never flourish as long as victories are
a part of the daily budget, but let
there be defeats-major defeats-and
the mood will change, the courage
to resist oppression will become
stronger.
Libyan War.
Another ramifcation of the Ger
man-Russian war is the British of
fensive in Libya, for that was, ap-
parently, designed to relieve German
pressure on the Soviets. Whether
it has done so or not, it has the Ger
mans worrying, anyhow.
British offensives have been met,
it's true, by amazingly forceful Ger
man counter-offensives, but reports
this week indicate that the nazi on
slaught is becoming weaker all the
time. Whatever victories are re-
ported, are those of the British; gen.
orally, however, the Libyan front has
been relatively quiet, due, it seems, to
transforms and to desert dust.
Vichy Danger.
There is possibility that the Liby-
an situation may be changed due to
the policy of the Vichy government of
unoccupied France.
Last week the head of that gov
eminent, ancient Marshal Petain,
had conference with Hitler's
right-hand man, Reich Marshal
GOering, and the result seems to
have been a Petain promise to
hand over to Germany the use of
French naval ports in Africa.
That, conceivably, would have some
kind of effect on the British cam
paign in Libya, although the result
would not be as far-reaching as if
Petain had pledged himself to let
Hitler have the French colonial army
or the French fleet. But naval bases
in any part of Africa right now may
affect the course of this chapter of
the history Of the second world war
U. S. and War.
A newspaper disclosure of alleged
war plans stirred up a
hornets nest during the last few
days, for-if the information were
true, and it was not denied-the plans
meant that the government of the
United States was contemplating
sending to Europe vast expedition
airy force some time in 1943. Wash
ington, explaining, says that the mill
tary and naval authorities always
design plans for even the most in
emergencies. That was
what the German general staff ex-
planned when Mr.. Roosevelt on Oc-
:ober 81 revealed that the nazis had
planned an invasion" of American
countries. Berlin said, like Wash
ngton now, that "al thinkable con-
ingencies have to be studied"

Col. Lindbergh issued a state

Col. Lindbergh issued state
ment from Chicago, as follows:
We have been stepping closer to
war for many months. Now it has
come and we must meet it as united
Americans regardless of our attitude
in the past toward the policy our
Government has followed. Whether
or not that policy has been wise
our country has been attacked by
force of arms and by force of arms
we must retaliate. Our own de-
lenses and our own military position
have already been neglected too long
We must now turn every effort to
building the greatest and most eff
ficient Army, Navy and air force
in the world. When American SOL
diers 60 to war, it must be with the
best equipment that modern skill
can design and that modern industry
can build.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1941-12-11

Representative Harold Knut-
son of Minnesota, made the fol-
lowing statement:
Japan's dastardly attack on Ameri-
can territory left Congress no al
tentative except to accept the chal-
lenge. Japan is the aggressor. With
out warning she loosed her engines
of war against our territories in the
Orient and wrought very considerable
destruction. The attack was unex-
pected as we were in the midst of
negotiations to preserve peace be-
tween the two nations. We must
fight to the end. All of our re-
sources are at the disposal of the
Government. We must win this war,
cost what it may. We will not be
enslaved.

2-Bi||ion Expansion

1t Is also emphasized by the
fact that the private utility
companies are now preparing 10
conduct $2,000,000000 expan-
sion program. If we want quick
and economical results, these
preparations should be encour-
aged and expedited.
incidentally, this procedure
would do much to improve the
morale and spirit of unity within
the nation. 1t would be tangible
evidence that the New Deal adj
miniStration is really seeking
the cooperation of all citizens.
II would show that il is not
merely seeking TO put across its
sociaiiStic schemes at any cost.
In short, the waterway part
of the scheme is admittedly no
good as an emergency measure.
The water power part of the
scheme is the Slowest. most ex-
pensive. most localized and most
bitterly contested way 10 get

Crucial Point

In the second place. il should
be thoroughly understood that,
as a source of emergency power,
the st. Lawrence project is eX-
actlY the wrong way to proceed.
This is the crucial point, and
the argument should be followed
closely.
1t is to he granted that more
power is needed in the eastern
part of the country. But the
need is part of a war emergency
situation. Accordingly. it should
be supplied in the quickest pos
sible way. and with due regard
to the effect upon the morale
of the country.
The need for power is i'm
mediate. 1t should therefore be
supplied by steam plants which
can be erected in a relatively
short time, economically, and at
any desired point.
This reasoning is emphasized
by the fact that the reason for
such shortage OF power as exists
is dfeuth, which affects the
governments IVA -Well-aS
other plants. Thus steam power
would free us from the danger
of complete dependence upon
weather

Advises Public
To Apprdise
Sedwdy Project
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor Of Economics, n. Y. Universit!
The proposal to force through
Congress the st. Lawrence
waterway and power scheme
rides again. 1t is up to the
people of this country TO APP
praise this scheme in the light
of the nations emergency. and
to let their senators and con-
gressmen hear from them.
In the first place, it should be
noted that the waterway or
transportation part of the
scheme would not only be of no
use, but that il cannot be done
for several years. The admins
tration does not propose TO start
IL for years.
Therefore. the seaway aspect
OF the scheme may be elm
mated as a factor at the present
moment. 1t has no bearing on
defense. 1t never will have any
economic justification. for rea-
sons which any student of trans
port will know.

Twice Production

Oil discoveries during the last
five years have been fully twice
as great as production.
In this country crude pctro-
leum production increased nearly
z per cent lower last year, 10 the
gigantic total of 1854 423, 900
barrels. whereas the rest of the
world recorded a decline.
Today the United States sup
plies practically two out OF every
three barrels (63 per cent? Of
the worlds total output.
Moreover. wells in many lead
ing oil states, because of con-
servation requirements. are
flowing at only a fraction of
their capacity, and could be
opened up at a moments notice.
American oil companies have
invested very large sums in
building pipelines and an envi-

Cannot Blame Them

Therefore. if and when we are
subjected TO hardship. we cannot
blame our oil men. They are
capable of furnishing all the oil
needed throughout the length
and breadth of our land.
But here comes the rub: The
United States government al
ready has Communicated many
oil tankers. including 80 trans
ferred TO Britain. Washington
intimates that fleets owned by
oil companies Will be further
depleted.
The populous eastern section
Of the country is vitally de-
pendent upon supplies Of oil
carried by tankerS. Cutting
down the number of available
tankers naturally cuts down the
available gasoline, fuel oil and
