. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

stotsd definitely thot q course
OF oction hos been planned to
meet the situation if the Jop-
onese should either sink or
seize an American ship en-
route to Vlodivostck.
II is recoIled in Washington
that q press conference this
summer, the President took
considerable pains to give the
correspondents q carefully pre-
pored review history lesson on
how the infant u. S. Navy
drove Algerian pirates from
the SEQ. Thot declaration was
not just accidental. II was a
definite statement Of present
day policy.
Applying that to I'offoire
VIodivostok, it would follow
that il Japan sinks or seizes
any v. S. ships en- route to ST.
berio, they would be branded
as pirotes and the United
Stotes Navy would be ordered
to go blow them right out of
the secs.
When ond II ever that hop
ems, the United Stotes would
be in q war right through the
beck oIIey, without any formed
declaration of war, without any
delay, without any asking for
congressional sanction, with
OUT, at first, even an expedi-
tionory' force. II would be
merely q naval oction to clean
out pirotes.
Shipments to VIodivostok
provide the perfect test cose.
The vessels carrying the sup
plies will be unormed. In that
respect, they will be merchant
men going about their business
OF international trade. Thot
the tonkers will be carrying oil
or eviction gas for the military
oircroft Of the red army is in
cidentol. Up TO the time Of the
emboreoes, tonkers carried oil
for the planes Of Japan and
only the Chinese objected.
cokvoYs NOT AN ISSUE
Whether the ships follow
their course sineIy or steam
along together is innmoterioI.
Even if they don't 90 it alone,
they will not be travelling in
convoy in the sense that q con-
voy always is accompanied by
armed escort vessels. But if the
ships ore stopped, sinely or in
fleet formation, here will be q
case Of something short Of con-
voys meaning shooting, ondr
something short Of shooting
meaning war.
There is perhaps one other
possibility. German commerce
roiders have operated in the
Pacific and Indian oceans. One
Of them might take q pop at q
U. S. ship supplying the British.
1t can be assumed that if this
happened the onti-pirocy pol
icy would be followed just the
same.

AGE AND USEFULNESS

The Social Security Board, accord
ing to reports, is finding ttot while COL
lections for old-oge insurance in the
United Stotes are mounting more rop-
idly than expected. the out-poyments
for benefits are smaller than the esti-
notes. As q result, the reserve fund
has grown already to So. 397, OOO, 600.
One reason for this situation is that
with the defense boom in industries at
least IS .OCO persons who had retired
at IS years Of oee and we're receiving
benefits have dropped the benefits and
gone back to work. In addition, O
large number on reaching the oee at
which they could retire have continued
at work.
This signifies O great deal both as
to the okiI Of these senior citizens and
as to their preference when choice
exists between pensioned inactivity and
productive usefulness. Christian
