both fuel and power in large

entire country. There is no rea-
son why it should be limited to

before the present emergency
arose, MI. Ickes favored daylight
Saving-and by executive order
extended it to all workers here in
the Interior Department. They
have gone to work an hour earlier
in the department during the
spring, summer and early fall
months.
The Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce so far
has taken no action on the day
light saving bills. 1t has, how
ever, asked for reports on the
proposal for national daylight
saving from the executive de-
partments and from the Office of
Production Management. AS
soon as those reports have been
made the committee may Take
up the bills now before it. Their
authors intend to press for hear

In the past opposition to day

based on the theory that the
farmers would find their hours
of work entirely out OF killer.
The farmers, they contend. are
up with the sun anyWay-a and
they are unable during the sum-
mer to get to work in the fields
until the dew has burned off.
So strong in the past has been
this opposition from the agri-
cultural areas that Congress has
been unwilling to have the Ma
tlonal Capital, as a whole, adopt
daylight saving, on the ground
that if the plan were maintained
in the Capital, it might be con-

act of war. On the other hand
the freezing of German funds,
coupled with the expulsion of
the German consular officials,
Is regarded by Berlin as the
beginning of the much-feared
war with the Western Hemi-
sphere. Each government, how
ever, wants the other to take
the initiative in making a formal
declaration. In all likelihood
things will be allowed to drift;
the reinforced Atlantic patrol
will take care of more merchant
men and push further eastward
until German submarines and
air or surface raiders get close
to the merchantmen sailing
between the patrol boats. The
mel chantmen will be fired on;
the patrol boats will find them
selves menaced and will shoot
at the raiders and without any
formal declaration of war, with
out the surrender of diplomatic
passports. the countries will be
shooting at each other in all
earnestneSs.
1t is recalled that for many
weeks after the hostilities had
begun between the Greeks and
the Italians, the Italian Minister
was still at Athens and the
Greek Minister remained in
Rome. AS far as is known here
the German Minister to Athens
surrendered his post only after
the German troops entered the
Greek capital. But during the
height of the conflict he re-
manned in quiet seclusion in his
legation at Athens.
Japan Stands In the Way.
The main reason why the
United States and the Reich are
reluctant to declare war formally
is Japan. The Toxic government
has announced repeatedly that it
would stand by its agreement
with the Axis and that as soon
as the United States became in
volved in a war in the Atlantic
it would take appropriate action
But in the Berlin-Rome-Tokio
agreement it is provided that
Japan would participate with its
armed forces against the United
States only if We became aggres-
sors-that is to say. if We took
the initiative and declared war
on Germany Hence Berlin does
not want to give the shrewd Jap
anese chance to Wriggle out of
their agreement if Germany
takes the initiative. The United
States, on the other hand, has
vague hopes that if it does come
to war, the japanese will be
most careful to avoid any gun
play as long as the Pacific feet

istration sit by and allow a super
government to collect vast funds for
political or economic uses without
seeking to bring some form of con-
troll into the picture? In Germany
and Italy the government has
stepped in. In Britain the govern
ment has law permitting it to
compel workers to obey the edict of
the war office. What is being
started in America is not a tenn
porary formula but a permanent
device, Henry Ford may not have
so intended it but he has done more
to accentuate the dangers of labor
supergovernment by yielding to the
broWbeating he has bc<n getting at
the hands of the Labor Board than
by continuing to be held up to
scorn as foe of the worker. Con-
gress has been handed a real prob
lem now. Will it put America on

war, the Capital did have day.
light saving along with other
sections of the country. But as
soon as the war was over, the
pressure against its continuance
was so strong that it was aban-
doned. Ever since, there have
been sporadic efforts to revive
daylight saving for Washington,
but they have gotten nowhere.
In these days of suggestions of
"gasless Sundays" and other pro-
posals for cutting down the use
of gasoline and fuel oil, not to
mention coal, In order to con-
serve fuel, the proposal for day
light saving on a national scale
is particularly important. If by
its adoption the people will be
enabled to keep their homes
Warm-or Warmer-and the de-
fense program can go forward
more promptly. it is decidedly
worth while. Farmers have ad-
juSted themselves in the past to
daylight saving, when necessary.
They do it today in States like
New York and Pennsylvania and
New jersey and Massachusetts,,
where there are great areas of
agricultural lands and very
large production of farm crops
notwithstanding the fact they
are regarded as industrial States.

think he keeps too many details
in his own hands.
This common error, which has
peen impressed upon the writer by
prolonged observation in Washing
ton, is the assumption by indivld-
uals and groups that they have as
many sources of information about
the progress of the war as the
President.
He, too, has to probe for the truth
i'll the plethora of conflicting ad-
vice and reports at his service lest
he be fooled by some informant who
has fooled himself. But he has the
blunt truth, as far as they know It,,
from the experts of our armed serv-
ices. Their partisan emotion is
strictly limited to the United States
Army and Navy, first, last and all
the time.
Not Advocates of Policy.
1t is strictly their business to pre-
pare for war, and then to make war
under their Commander in Chief,
the President of the United States.
They are witnesses, not advocates
of national policy, in answering
his questions.
What portion of our fleet can We
securely withdraw from the Pacific
to the Atlantic? Just what are the
facilities for direct conveying across
the Atlantic? How much more effec-
tive Will 1t be in aid OF Britain than
the present extension of our naval
patrol? Is it better strategy to wait
no longer and strike now? Shall
We arm merchant ships? Which is
the best safeguard against a repeti-
ton Of the Robin Moor outrage?
No one is so well equipped to give
the answers as the experts in war.
If the order is for them to fight,
they salute, and it is do or die. The
Presidents is the great decision.
The supreme responsibility is his.

This Changing World
Washington and Berlin Declared Waiting
For Euch Other to Make Declaration Of War

Indies are determined to defend
themselves. But in the mean
time, the United States realizes
that an outright declaration of
war against the Axis would put
Japan on the spot and Toxic
would not be able to stay out OF
the conflict. Hence the rumors
we have heard in the last few
days about an expected presi-
Dental message to Congress de-
manding formal declaration Of
war.
The Japanese are taking no
chances and are getting ready to
meet their treaty obligations. An
important fleet with the neces-
sary transports is now conCen-
trated in the former French COL
ony of Indo-China and at For
mosa. But meanwhile, since the
outbreak of the Russo-German
misunderstanding" Japan is
looking once more toward Siberia.
Toxic knows that the chances of
an actual conflict between the
u. S. S. r. and the Reich are
not great; that after a good deal
of talking and threatening the
Muscovites will accept Hitlers
demands because they like the
idea of a new order" But all
the same, even if there are only
10 per cent chances of a conflict
between the two powers. they
don't want to be caught unpre-
pared
Bigger Game in Offing.
The Japanese have claims to
Siberia but these claims have
been overlooked for the moment
because bigger game was in the
offlng-expansion in the south.
But if anything happens between
the Reich and Russia there is no
question but that the Siberian
problem would be revived. The
japanese Army would then at
tempt to take advantage of the
chaotic situation which a war
would cause in Moscow and in
wade the Maritime Provinces,
which many japanese military
men consider as important for
JapanS welfare as the British
and the Netherlands possessions
in the south. In fact. there are
