one, the Maritime Commission was warned, could go near the ship.
 What has not leaked out is that last spring, before armed guards were placed on all French ships in American harbors, Admiral Leahv. U. s. Ambassador in Vichy,. h d promised the French that these ships would not be touched. It is understood he acted on instructions from Washington. So after the Coast Guard boarded the Norman die and other French vessels, Vichy sent strong protest to Washing ton on May 26.
 The State Department drafted 2 reply to this note, then decided not to answer it at all. Apparently it was caught between Leahy's promise and the Coast Guards ac- tion. The note still is unanswered. And now the State Department, having got itself in an untenable position, is leaning over backwards to appease Vichy regarding these ships.
 Also it is going to unusual lengths in using the ships to ap- pease General Weygand in North Africa.

 They ran him out of Washington State when he attempted to set himself Us as czar of the whole West Coast, and they are deter mined to keep him out. That was what the shooting was about in the Capital showdown.

GOERING IN DISGRACE?

Reports that Marshal GOering is out of favor and has been confined to his luxurious home at Karinhall have revived in Washington the story of the British Ambassadors last visit to that home before the war broke.
 Ambassador Sir Neville. Tender son had gone to see Goering in an effort to pacify him. When the interview was over, Henderson sent the following report to Lord Hali- fax, then Foreign Minister, now Ambassador to Washington
 Though I was in hurry, he insisted on showing me, with much pride, the great structural altera- tions which he was making in his house at Karinhall and which in cludes a new dining room to hold an incredible number of guests and to be all marble and hung with tapestries. M

NOT WITH HITLER

Douglas Miller was the American commercial attache in Berlin from 1925 to 1889 should have the temerity to say he is talking through his hat in book entitled You Cant Do Business With Hitter" authoritative and unblinkng study of the feonious and piratical ways of Nazi trading
 What the author has to say is based first hand observation of and long experience with Naz methods and plans to rule ruin. After half dozen years in Berlin under Hitlers regime Miller should have a pretty good working knowledge of the Nazi way of doing business and compelling view of what they would do they able to Europe and adjacent lands "a scientific slave State in which they retain for themselves all possi bilties of military action, all control important industrial operations and in which they will be able to achieve complete monopoly of scientific and technical knowledge" Buying and selling for half the world they'd be able to put terrific pressure this country and the whole New World.
 And what MT Miller reminds us-wth good many in point-is that they started that pro- cess some time ago. Hitler must, in the nature of things continue in state of aggression, in one form or another if he is to go He must create emergencies endessy if he is to retain his control Cleared from the beginning to war economy, he has to continue it. He himself said, in 'Mein Kampf :" that "The human race has grown great in war In peace it would only decay" What would be next on his list if not this hemisphere?
 The countries that have tried to do business with him have all had their fingers burned. Under the NaI barter system, Germany gets the materials it wants and the countries get promises of goods they want or deliveries of goods they either can't use can't afford.
 Three times in two decades MT Miller points out, the Germans have succeeded in living on their debts to the outside world. Between 1919 and 1923 they financed themselves by selling foreigners paper marks "hot from the printing press" Then from 1924 to the crash, they kept going by selling long term bonds to foreign buyers As the depression deepened they got short-term bank advances Then, when their credit gone, they proceeded to "bor- row" commodities through the schemes Dr. Schacht had such a large hand in promoting and make

Both Are Right
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 Gen. Ben Lear, who disciplined some $50 mem- bers of the 35th Division for alleged rowdysm says he will be satisfied with nothing short of an army which has attained "the highest attainable stan dards of conduct and combat efficiency"
 Representative Dirksen who took cognizance of the incident on the floor of the House the other day declared he wanted part of an armed force that was devoid of the buoyancy and effervescence that makes the young American great soldier"
 The positions of the general and of the member of Congress are in way irreconcilable. No red blooded American wants an army made up of mar tinets but every American citizen who has any pride whatever in the nations armed forces expects their officers to maintain reasonable discipline and to demand gentlemanly conduct of their men.
 We are not arguing that Gen Lear is right in this matter. Without access to all the facts it is impossible to say whether he acted wisely or un- wisely But his insistence upon high standards of conduct must be pleasing to everyone genuinely in- teresed in the development and training of strong and efficient armed force
 Having in mind certain incidents of the World War period we have reason to suspect that the soldiers who were disciplined knew they had it coming and were very much less perturbed by the generals action than the members of Congress who came so bravely to their defense In any event it is a matter the Army is entirely capable of handling without the help of Congress

FRENCH OIL TANKERS

What particularly incenses the British is that the State Depart ment is allowing two tankers to load up with American oil and aviation gasoline. This will permit the 300-t to-40O grounded airplanes in Morocco to be used-possibly against the British.
 In the end, the British decided not to make a last ditch fight. We have so many other problems of major importance to settle," they told friends, that we don't think it best to object further to this.'
 What the Maritime Commission and Secretary Ickes covet most are the nine French oil tankers now gathering parnacles in the harbor of Martinique.
 The Maritime Commission pro- poses chartering them and if nec- essary paying good hard dollars to the French. These tankers, making one trip a month with oil from Venezuela, could carry 56,000 bar rels a month, which would practi- cally remove Secretary Ickes' fears of an oil shortage.
 But desperately as oil is needed on the Atlantic Coast, the State Department leans over backward not to offend the French.

 They also intimated that they suspected Bridges of being respon- sible for the absence from the Cap ital of William Dalrymple, Port land CIO regional director; and Richard Francis, Washington State CIO director. These are former United Mine Workers officials who also feel strongly about Bridges.
 When they finished, Murray said Bridges had an appointment with him the next day and invited them to be present.
 Sure, we'll come" was the reply. And we'll tell him to his face what we've been telling you.'
 They did, in a big way, while Murray listened silently. Bridges defended himself hotly. Finally, Murray asked them all to return in ten days, when he said he would have the mysteriously omitted Dal- hymple and Francis present.
 NOTE-When they received Mur- rays invitation, Dalrymple and Francis wired back that they would be glad to confer with him but not if Bridges were present, since they would have nothing to do with him under any circumstances.

Murphy, counselor of the American Embassy in Vichy, who had taken special trip to North Aftrica to see Marshal Weygand He reported that if the United States would send French ships loaded with U. s. goods, Weygand would permit American observers to remain at Dakar, and would not oust Ameri- can consuls from French Africa, even if Hitler demanded it.
 History can prove whether the State Department is justified. But meanwhile both the British and the Maritime Commission have very definite views which they are not waiting for history to express.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, JULY 23

WEDNESDAY, JULY g
 Good and evil planetary influ- ences are discerned in the horo- scope for today. The afternoon is more fortunate than the morning. Under this planetary government there may be much discontent and tendency to find fault with both private and public affairs.
 HEART AND HOME: Girls should be fairly lucky under this sway which brings new employ ment and pleasant associations. It is an suspicious date for meeting young men who will be more accep- table as friends than as devoted swains. There may be an inclina- tion for older women to look back ward instead of forward. It is we'll to have the mental attitude that now must be made the best time, that each day must be made mem- orable for fair hopes and kindly acts. Labor troubles affecting Wo- men are prognosticated, for indus try will call many to defense jobs.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: AS wages rise in industries entrusted with defense contracts the cost of living will advance to an extent that will be generally realized in the early autumn. Money will be plentiful and prosperity will write happy history for thousands of persons who benefit from the spread of employment. Taxes will reduce the profits accruing to manufacturers and merchants. but there will be increased unity in aims of the peo-s pie who belong to the greatest of democracies. Warning is given of heavy losses through sabotage and incendiarism next month
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Wom n volunteers for war work will pre- sent opportunities for the sutiliza- tion of great power for the nation. The seers emphasize the importance of directing efforts toward the aid of persons who are indirectly af- fected by war dislocations. In other words the impulse to help the na- 'tion's under privileged should be encouraged for the general good. The poor are always with us and they may be benefited greatly through the awakened conscious ness of those who are prosperous. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Possible divergence of views may be of temporary concern to Great Britain and the United States. Ex- treme perils may breed impatience regarding delays in our part of the vast responsibility of supplying ships and war machines of many sorts. Mars is in an aspect presag- ing accidents on railways and the high seas. Storms of great violence may add to naval hazards, especi- ally in the Pacific Ocean. Earth quakes and tidal waves will seem to reflect human violence.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of im- portant events. Women may prove difficult in their ambition to enter unusual fields of work.
 Children born on this day prob ably will have eventful lives. They may be especially concerned with sentimental friendships that are not all disappointing.

Virginia May Adopt
Letters for Auto Taos
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 90
Although Virginia's 1912 motor
vehicle license plates already have
been made, State officials are look
ing ahead to possible revisions In
its present license system in the
event Of a shortage in materials
because of the war and defense
program.
Here are some of the suggestions
advanced from various sources:
Substitution of letters for nu-
merals, which would make possible
the use of smaller plates.
Use of a combination of letters
and numerals, a plan followed by
many States now.
The issuance of only one plate
for each vehicle instead of two, a
system in use in Florida.
The issuance of permanent set
of plates, which would remain on
the vehicle from year to year, with
numbered windshield sticker indi-
eating the payment of the annual
fee.
The issuance of permanent plates
with a rotating disc attachment
under seal to show payment of the
current years fee.
Substitution of plastics for steel in
the manufacture Of the plates.
