Wheeler Calls Aid Bill
'1rip|e.A Foreign
Policy in Debate
will Plow Under Every
Fourth American Boy
Air Forum Is Told

The leaSe-lend bill was aSsailed as
q certain step toward war and de-
Tended as the best proposal for
protecting the interests of the
United States by speakers on the
American Forum of the Air last
night.
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana termed the measure the
New Deals Triple-A foreign pol
ICY" because "it will pillow under
every fourth American boy" The
bill, in effect, asks Congress to abdi-
cate, the Senator said, adding that
"it means war-open and complete
warfare"
Senator Wheeler declared that
"the Kaiser's blank check in the
first World War was a piker-com-
pared to the Roosevelt blank check
of World War the second" The
bill definitely stamps the PreSi-
dent as War-minded," he contended.
To these arguments, Senator Lee,
Democrat, of Oklahoma replied that
isolatiOnists are blind if they have
not observed by this time that Ger
many is out to conquer the world
and that England and its feet are
"the only barrier between America
and a Nazi blitzkrieg." Isoiationists
have been wrong every step of the
war, he said
Editor Backs Lee.
Herbert Agar, editor of the Louis
vile Courier-Journal, agreed with
Senator Lees assertion that Hitler
is at war with the United States
today in all but a military sense.
The ledSe-lend bill should be passed
quickly. Mr.. Agar added, with no
fooling alcund by Senators who
think they have mission from God
to prevent the people from getting
the action which the people crave"
Referring to Senator Wheelers
position on foreign policy, the
Louisville editor asserted that
nothing could dramatic more the
Rip Van Wrinkle quality of the
minds of men who still think you
can make peace with Hitler"
John T. Flynn, political and eco
nomic commentator, siding with
Senator Wheeler. declared the as
Sertion that IF Hitler defeats Eng
land, he will come over here" is mot
only false but a deliberate invention
of the British propaganda depart
ment."
Couldn't Blockade U. S.
Germany could not blockade the
United States, Mr.. Flynn insisted,
and even with the British and Ital-
ian navies could not transport
enough men and equipment to this
country to conquer it by force of
arms.
At times the debate grew heated.
and the audience in the Hotel Will
lard auditorium applauded and
jeered loudly-to such a point that
Senator Lee once asked for "a little
better craftsmanship on the part of
the audience" Later, when Senator
Lee and Mr.. Flynn were in dispute,
the Senator admonished watch

Senator John A. Danaher, peppery Connecticut Republican isolationist, is a strong advocate of the Hoover plan of sending food to Nazi-occu- pied Europe.
 Recently constituent, whose hus- bands relatives live in the conquered Lowlands, called on Danaher and protested his stand. She told of re- ceiving a smuggled, uncensored let ter from her relatives recounting their bitter hardships but pleading that nothing be done that in any way would help the Nazis.
 Danaher argued with his visitor at great length, cons antly repeat ing, But my dear Mrs. ...................., in 1914 Hoover was able to handle the Germans Finally, after one of these remarks, the constituent in- terrupted sharply,

SAW EIGHT DAYS AHEAD

Some of the newspaper columnists who pride themselves on being able to predict the turn of world and national events before they happen had to take a back seat last month to the remarkable prediction of fellow who doesn't write a column but who is a superior type of newsman.
 The prognostcator in this case, was Glenn Babb day cable editor of the Associated Press bu- reau in New York.
 On October 8, he predicted the fall of the Japa- nese cabinet of Premier Kenoye, On October Is, the Kenoye cabinet folded up and on October IT the military cabinet under Premier Toio was formed which Babb had also anticipated in his article October 8.
 How do they do it?" we always want to ask, when one of these journalistic predictions proves true.
 Babb in this instance said he was making his prediction trustworthy advces" from the Eastern corner of the world here's thumbnan sketch of his journalistic background
 Babb vas graduated from the University of Missouri l913 spent brief periods on the staffs of the 9t. Joseph Missouri Gazette, and the New Bed- ford, Massachusetts, Standard then went to Tokyo in 1915 reporter for the Japan Advertiser
 lie took two years off to serve in the AEF, in 1917-19, including year in France. Early in 1920 he returned to the Japan Advertiser where he served editor and managing editor until 1922 After few months of free lance writing in China he re- turned to Japan and in January 1924 became act ing chief of the Associated Press Tokyo bureau In March, 1925 he joined the New York AP staff and was transferred to San Francisco as cable editor early in 1926
 In August, 1928, Babb returned to the Orient as chief of the Tokyo bureau During the Manchurian conquest, he went to the battlefields for the AP then returned to head the Tokyo bureau in 1892 where he remained until he was transferred to his present job in New York the end of 1886

 ! This is Pierre'S first journey away from the narrow street which is his home. His Swiss home is on a broad, curving drive with trees and flowers all around the big chalet. And his adopted family includes a boy and a girl of about his age.
 All speak French so there is no difficulty there; and tie family is having grand time along with Pierre, who keeps busy exploring and exclaiming his joy the whole day long.
 Pierre is in Bern, but his col- leagues who came to visit their Swiss friends are spread out over a good part of the little country. It is a gift of vacation that means something to the Swiss, for they cannot be sure how long their own stocks of food and clothing may last in the war of blockades.
 Nevertheless, they hope to go right on with the vacation schedule through the winter and to have TOO Belgain and l,6OO French child ren in the country for six to eight weeks at all times.
 And this is not all that the Swiss are doing.
 Sixty canteens. operated by a special Swiss organization, are feeding hundreds of children in un- occupied France; three homes for 220 children, at present, are being maintained there along with one maternity hospital.
 A complete set of clothing is given to each child entering Switz- erland for vacation.
 The Swiss are maintaining ten milk stations for nursing children in France, using powered milk. Re- strictionS in Switzerland just now coming into force, however, may force a discontinuance of the milk shipments

Almost whole factories were transported from the line of advance to be set up behind the Ural Mountains And after the cars and trucks were completely loaded, women and children perched atop the cargoes.
 This evacuation of precious indus trial materials is one reason for the tremendous number of trucks which the United States is sending the Russians now.
 Contrary to most reports regard ing the inefficiency of Russia n transport, the American observers came back convinced that the Rus sia1s were doing an amazing job.
 It Was this enthusiasm which per- suaded the President to stop planes. tanks. artillery actually en route to U. s. army camps and send them 10 Boston for transhipnent to Arch angel Req fact is that although one billion ia credits has been ex- tended Russia. another billion will be extended shortly.

yyAELY,s FIRST LOVE

Before she became the Duchess of Windsor Wally simpson had a long row Of broken hearts on her record. Almost every man she met fell in love with her, but there were very few she loved in return. (Some friends say this even included, at first, the King of England.)
 In fact, about the only man who never succumbed to Wally's charm was Felipe Espil, the present Ar genuine Ambassador.
 Espil is rated by the State De- partment as the ablest diplomat in Washington In addition he has charm, wit, and many ladies rate him as the handsomest man in the capital.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1941-11-18

When Espil was dashing young secretary of the Argentine Embassy he knew the then Wallis Simpson and knew her well. In fact Wallis was reported at the time to be in love with him.
 The Embassy office stands on a little side street, and Espil's office at that time looked out on the street. Beneath this window at times, the now Duchess Of Windsor often passed, exerting all her at traction to interest the dashing diplomat from the pampas-in vain. Espil had eyes only for the sweet heart of his early div 'omatic days and eventually arr 4 her-Court- ney Let's of Chicago. who now pre- sides over the ladies of the Diplo- matic Corps.

 But when the list was returned to Mrs. Robert those two names had been scratched off.
