The Great Game of Politics
Administrations Waste Said to Exceed
All Public SteoIines Since Washington

Hardly a week goes by without
clash between one set Of men going
in one direction and another set 60
ing in the other.
For example. take the question Of
imitation. There have been SO many
instances of backing and filling on
this subject that they almost have
ceased to be news.
Perhaps, that is why the amazing
conflict last Tuesday between the
views of President Roosevelt and his
friend. Mr.. Mariner Eccles, head
Of the Federal Reserve Board, at
tracted so little attention. Stimuli
taneously, they gave utterance to
completely contradictory views. Mr..
Roosevelt. urging vast expansion
of the Social Security Act by which
some 100000 more beneficiaries
would be created and a great in
creaese In jobholdeis made neces-
sary, asserted that this would act
as q deterrent 10 lnIldtlOn.
Contradiction Cited.
On the same day Mr.. Eccles de-
clared that "the time has come for
all ordinary governmental agencies
to restrict their activities" and urged
that public works of all descriptions
be sharply curtailed. II the Gov
ernment would reduce its financial
largess," he said, that would act as
a deterrent to imitation.
This is fair sample of the sort
OF leadership" the country is get
ting. Here is an important admins
tration spokesman advocating the
restriction of all non-defense gov
ernmental agencies as a check on
imitation; and here is the President
on the same day urging a huge ex-
pansion of great governmental
agency, also as a check to imitation.
What is one to think of such con-
flicts? How are they to be recon-
ciled with reason? Or explained? Or
excused?
Even II there we're not this sharp
divergence of view about imitation,
the Presidents plan would seem
unwise at this time when the main
attention of Congress is riveted
on defense and 1t is in no position
properly to pass upon a question
of such great importance to our
whole economic future as this new
social security program. Whether
1t would help or hinder imitation, it
would seem a matter for careful
study and recommended action at
a more normal period.
/ However. there are two things to
be said for it-one is that it would
vastly augment the social security
receipts, which the Treasury then
could use for current expenses; sec
ond, that it would extend the social
reforms ofcths advanced New, Deal
ceaeHiant which, 14finks the emer-
gency should be used for just that
purpose. In addition, there Is the
lSieu otthe practical politicians who
consider the eHect upon the 1915
and 1914 elections of adding 40
100000 more to the existing 40000,-
600 recipients of money under the
Federal act.

Of war material is making itself

In the south, the German

stroyed if Marshal Budyenny can
spare enough men for the task.
This is a bird's-eye view of
the Russian situation as seen
strictly from the military point
Of view and does not take into
consideration other potentials
which cannot be overlooked in
q modern war.
The temperance of at least
two striking divisions in occupied
France is causing considerable
concern in Spain and Portugal.
Both of these countries have
hoped that Hitler would remain
engaged in Russia indefinitely
and that they would be spared
the horrors of the invasion.
Whether these forces have been
taken from the Russian front
or from the pool" in the Reich
has not yet been ascertained. 1t
is known that 100000 young Nazis
were called for intensive war
training several months ago.
They were supposed to have
been ready for action some time
In November. There is a posi-
bility that some OF them could
have been sent to France to
continue preparation for actual
fighting in the occupied territory
and in many military quarters it
Is believed that spectacular
action on the Western front and
in the Mediterranean may be ex-
pected soon.
Italian Forces More Active.
The increased activities of the
italian Navy and Air Force which
have been keeping quiet at their
bases for some time is considered
as an indication that the Axis is
likely to make a determined effort
to close the Mediterranean. To
achieve this objective it would
be necessary for the Axis to con-
troll the Straits of Gibraltar. The
African shores are already domi-
mated by the Germans who have
a Spanish-Nazi force at Mehlla
and Ceuta. Gibraltar has been
heavily fortified by the British.

But it is doubtful whether it
could resist a determined attack
from Spain.
Soon after the Russian cam
paign started some British STRAIT
egists suggested expanding the
position by taking over some of
the Spanish territory across La
Liea. But the British govern
ment is mindful of the neutrality
Of Spain and refuses to borrow a
leaf from Hitler's book and in
wade a friendly country while
knowing full well that when the
time comes the Germans would
not have the same regard for
international law. The British
general staff is reported to be
confident that Gibraltar could

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

German striking units are re-
liably reported to have arrived
in France recently. In August
active NaZi forces were with
drawn from the occupied terri
tories and sent to Russia. Their
place was taken by second-line
forces-elderly men who could
not be used effectively In modern
combat.
The reported arrival of these
forces coupled with renewed air
activity over Britain leads re-
sponsible officials in Washington
to conclude that the German
high command expects to break
Russian resistance within the
next few weeks and to start
fighting once more on the west
ern front.
Despite the stubborn resistance
of the Russians, who are disput-
ing every inch Of ground with the
invader, the general belief in
Washington military quarters is
that the Russians will be COM
PEELED to abandon present posi-
tions shortly and withdraw into

the Army must assume that the
United States could be bombed.
Bomber ranges are lengthening.
The Army air forces already have
an experimental plane, the Douglas
BIG. which can fly the Atlantic
and return nonstop. In the next
few months the Navy will have a
plane of equal range in tervice.
The British have flown bombers,
with their racks empty, 7,000-odd
miles.
The Russians have flown more
than 5000 miles from Moscow across
the North Pole to Southern Cali
fornia.
Officers Theories Vary.
Army officers never tire of ex-
pounding their own theories on
the possible direction and intensity
of air attacks in the event of a
shooting war. They are far from
being of one mind.
One of the opinions advanced
during the large-scale war games
in Texas and Louisiana. just con-
cluded, was that, in light of the
relations between Washington and
Berlin, a declaration of war easily
could be followed by a token bomb
ing OF New York or Washington
from Greenland.
Only fuel would be needed for an
enemy's temporary base of oper-
ations. Could not gasoline be de-
posted by air on Greenland's great
ice cap?
Whatever the possibility of air
attacks, it is the task Of the armed
services to take preventive measures
we'll in advance of the emergency.
The great New England-Detroit-
Pittsburgh industrial triangle, vital
to rearmament and indispensable to
the prosecution of a war, must be
protected from raiders bombs.
California's aircraft factories must
work unmolested by enemy planes.
The entire civil population must
be made to understand that vast
air defense measures are being
taken in its behalf.
Panics in Big Cities Feared.
Apart from the purely military
aspects of preparedness, the Army
greatest concern, in contemplating
the possibility of air raids. Is panic
among the teeming millions Of
Americas big cities.
An American Legion vest pocket
manual on air defense says, THE
most vulnerable point for psyche

ton, for civilians are less disci-
plined in military sense. are not

organization and can be thrown

readily than well-disciplined mill

During the Spanish Civil War. a
lone nationalist raider appearing
over Barcelona paralyzed the city's
defense industries for hours.
| During the Spanish American
War populations along the Atlantic
seaboard demanded and obtained
retention OF a considerable portion
of the United States fleet in home
waters.

residents that part Of his troops be
