CAIRO, Egypt, Oct. 16.-The
United States Is involved in wide

ties connected with the war in this
Middle East arena.
These activities all are within the

Britain all aid short of war.

Cairo, which a year ago had only
four persons with diplomatic status
on the staff, now has II. At their
head is Alexander C. Kirk who took
over as Minister last spring.

1000 Junior Officers Win
REGULAR Army Promotions

About 1000 junior officers in
the Regular Army were included
today in one of the largest tenn
porary promotion lists of recent
months.
officials said about $50 second
lieutenants had been promoted to
the grade of first lieutenant to
make, room at the bottom for the
men who are graduating each week
from officer candidate schools.
Under new Army policy, privates
and non-coms Of exceptional ability
are being trained as officers and
are commissioned as second lieuten-
ants upon graduation.
Among other promotions were q
considerable number of new cap
tains and majors and some lieuten-
ant colonels. These promotions,
all for the duration of the emer-
gency, were made possible by a
reduction in the number of years
service required for permanent pro-
motion.
Most of the second leutenants
elevated a grade had served year
in the Regular Army. BY speeding
up the temporary promotion of
Regular officers, of whom approx
mately 3,700 will be affected
eventually, the War Department is
pursuing a policy of removing in
equalities between the Regular and
Reserve components of the Army.

pointed out that proposals for re-

 The cumulative evidence of this war, capped by what has happened this month in the Balkans, con- stitutes most fundamental lesson for Americans The nations that tell their armies wait until you the whites of their eyes" lost in period of military technology that gives the superiority to the offensive.
 To mean anything alliances must be active and must be in effect long in advance of actual decisive combat. We must stop talking about helping the democracies defend themselves" and start talking about helping the democraces win the war;

Peace Through Unpreparedness
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati EnquireD
 It was suitable keynote which Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox struck at the commissioning ot the new 35000-ton superdreadnaught North Carolina the first bateship to be added to the United States Navy in 18 years.
 T should like to call your attention" Secretary Knox said ito the fact that our failure to launch and commission ships of the line for the past Is years has been due to national instinct and aspira- tion for peace around the world Far more thai, any other nation the United States made sacrifices in the of world disarmament or 20 years ago We persisted in that policy until all hope for an establishment of world peace by that method had to The commissioning of this magnificent ship now is a recognition on our part that the world has not yet reached that stage in human progress where we can depend wholly upon ideals for our own protec- tion."
 Against the spacious claims of Adoph Hitler and his Axis satellites that the democraces forced war; upon them is posed the fact that predominant public opinion in all of the great democracies SC strongly favored peace that they exposed themselves to grave peril by their attempts to secure peace by disarmament. The Washington Naval Disarmament Conference of 1922 was eloquent expression of desire for peaceful world community In keeping with its commitments at that conference the United States destroyed naval tonnage which would be oi priceless value today We had in operation, at the time of the World War the greatest armament plant in history We disbanded it. France which had the greatest air fleet in the world at the close of the last war, permitted it to rust away and did re- place it. England too, pursued the will -wisp of peace through unpreparedness for war until it was almost too late to protect herself
 If this awful situation has happy conclusion, the world will know better next time It will know that disarmament is insurance of peace when and only when the aggressors lack the implements of aggression.
