Political and Military Factors
Closely Linked in Modern War
U. S. War Cabinet Urged to Coordinate
Executive and Defense Operations

ject is to draw the Germans into
such war if possible, but not to
merely present the Germans with
an easy victory. That means that
Britain must have allies other than
Greece; those allies can only be
Turkey and Yugoslavia. At once
the political factors come forward.
Can Britain give Turkey and
Yugoslavia enough support so that
they will coaleSce with Greece in a
Balkan alliance to halt Germany?
Upon Mr.. Edens judgment as 70
this possibility probably rests the
military decision as to the dispatch
of British troops to Greece. On the
other hand, the political decision to
be taken at Belgrade and Ankara
probably rest on the actual strength
of the available British forces, and
the speed with which they can be
sent to Salonika or such other points
as may be chosen for them. This
again must be weighed against the
estimates of the Turk and Yugoslav
general staffs of the readiness for
action of the German troops on the
Danube and the speed with which
they can strike. This, in turn, may
depend, in part, on the state of the
Danube and Of the roads in Bulgaria,
in part, on the military situation in
Albania, in part, on the actual state
of public opinion in Bulgaria itself
and the probable reactions of the

Most Of Gypsum Requests
Denied by Justice Morris

District Court Justice James w.
Morris yesterday denied, in the
main, motion for bill of particu-
lars filed by defendant gypsum firms
and individuals charged with vio-
lation of the Sherman Antitrust
Act.
Five corporations and nine in
dividualS in the gypsum industry are
accused of conspiracy and price fix
ing for materials used in the build
ing industry.
Although denying most of the re-
quests in the motion, Justice Morris
did order the Federal Government
to furnish the defendants with in
formation regarding sales made by
distributors in commerce between
the States and the District of Co.
lumbia and to dealers and con-
SumerS here.
Further, the jurist said that in
asmuch as II years are covered by
the indictment, defendant is en-
titled to know within more reason
able limits the time during which
it is charged such a defendant be-
came a part of the alleged con-
SDiracy.

economic and military considera-
tions. The day to day decisions to
implement his chosen policy are thus
given q general directive which en-
ables the INTO be suitably co-ordi-
mated and directed toward the &C
complishment of his purposes, while
retaining a sufficient degree of f1ex-
ibility to take care of unforeseen
developments.
U. s. War Cabinet Urged.
The British war cabinet, having
at its disposal the peacetime ma
chinery of the Committee of Imperial
Defense, Is likewise organized to
consider these various elements of
policy side by side, and to adjust its
course in accordance with the inter-
play of forces and elements involved
in the taking of well-weighed de-
cisions.
The time has certainly come for
the United States to create similar
machinery, or at any rate machinery
which, under our own constitutional
arrangements, will insure similar
efficiency. The total lack of a CO.
ordinating body for the day-to-day
direction of higher policy and for
the coordination of political with
military decisions is a continuing
danger to the Republic as long as
such conditions are permitted to
endure. While the executive de-
partments continue to work in
water-tight compartments, with no
more coordination than is avail
able from occasional cabinet meet
ingS and from the efforts of an
overworked President, we can never
be certain that full examination is
being given to all the various fac
tors that should affect the decisions

Russian Attitude Important.

Bulgarian Army and people to q
German invasion.
Russian Attitude Important.
The attitude Of Russia will be of
great Importance, perhaps of deci-
sive Importance as far as Ankara Is
concerned. Other military factors
will have to be assessed-for example
what use can Germany make of
Rumanian troops? How far have the
Greek reserve divisions, existing so
far only on paper, been rearmed and
equipped with the italian loot OBJ
tanned by the British in Libya? A
half dozen such divisions at Salonika
might make all the difference be-
tween being able to hold that i'm
portant base and having it taken by
a German dash across Bulgaria.
Thus military and political con-
siderations are indissolubly inter-
mingled, one evidence thereof being
that Mr.. Eden, the British Foreign
Minister, and Sir John Dill scion of
the imperial general staff, went out
to the Near East together. Hitler
is fighting hard to win a decision
favorable to himself in the Balkans
with political weapons alone. The
threat Of his military power is, of
course, the basic element in his
diplomacy, but he is certainly hoping
that he will not have to translate
this threat into action or that If he
does, he will find resistance so weak
ened by his political efforts that his
military operations will not be of
serious character.
Fortunately for both Hitler and
the British. they each have organ
iZationS which enable such decisions
to be arrived at after weighing care
fully all the factors involved. The
integrated German high command,
under Hitler's personal direction is
SO organized as to enable Hitler to
take final decision after a thorough
and comparative analysis of political,

vantage of small opponents.
For example, here is a hand
that helped Mrs. Hugh Fullerton
win the Ohio State Women's
Pairs. I think her opponents
were trying to take advantage of
her demure personality but she
pinned their ears back" before
the hand was over.
The play opened by North's
taking both king and queen of
spades. Now Mrs. Fullerton
made a brilliant play by leading
third spade into Vests tenace,
in order to take out dummy's
last spade.
West led the singleton heart
and won in dummy with the
king. A diamond return was won
by the jack, Mrs. Fullerton hold
ing off in an effort to kill the
suit. Declarer continued with ace
and king of diamonds, then
cashed the ten of spades and led
fourth diamond.
But Mrs. Fullerton escaped
the end-play In clubs, for which
declarer was playing, by taking
the ace Of hearts and leading the
six. Thus the defense had to win
another heart or q club at the
end for the setting trick.

The "AMERICAN DIVISION"

Ottowo estimates ore that 300
Americans are already serving with
Conodo's fighting forces; 64OO in the
army, 500 as stoff men or ferry pilots
in the Atlantic service, 300 in the air
corps.
Thot is equal, if these men we're
organized os unit, almost to q whole
division. 1t means that more than 5000
Americons have offered much more
than the simple sacrifices being asked
Of those at home. 1t means that they
have offered life itself, not in defense
Of country which any man would do,
but in defense Of q cause that is brood
er than country-the cause Of q free
world.
Whot is the stotus Of these men?
Most Of them, it is understood, we're
permitted to enlist without taking on
oath Of allegiance which would dimin-
ish their primory loyalty to the United
Stotes. Beginning with Spain, where
men Of q DOZEN notionoIities fought,
the international character of the Nozi
revolution hos enowed deeply at the
once invioIote border lines of nations.

MONUMENT TO
AMERICAN MEDICINE

Outside famous Southern city
there is an old cemetery where the dead
Of Iong-Post generations lie buried,
There are 1896 graves in thot ceme-
tery-ond in only four coses we're the
persons buried there more than IS
years old at the time of death. In other
words, only one-fifth Of one per cent of
them reached what in these modern
times is regarded as the prime Of life.
There could be no more graphic H.
lustrotion Of what American medicine
and American medical science have
done for the health of America. One
hundred and fifty years oeo the life
expectancy Of man in the United Stotes
was IS years. Today it is 81 years.
Thot has been the result of endless
strivin.-, under q free system Of medi-
cine which gives every doctor, every
scientist, the chance to achieve to the
very utmost Of his abilities and energies.
Researchers in greet laboratories
specialists in big oties-country doc
tors in viIIoees and homIets-oII
have contributed. They have spent
thei. lives working to make the lives Of
othe.s longer, fuller, hopper.
In those hundred and fifty years
typhoid fever hos almost disappeared;
smallpox hos been subdued; diphtherio
hos been practically conquered; tuber-
culosis hos been robbed Of much Of its
terror The monument to American
medicine is written in the standards of
health Of the American peopIe-stond-
'ords which ore not equoIed anywhere

Today a definite part Of the

ago, was isolated and insulated
against virtually all outside civili-

wrought by early Christian mis-

everyone but the Dutch, who had
sent no missionaries to the Land
of the Rising Sun.
Commodore Perry first opened

two years later an official treaty
