DUBLIN, Fire, July 18. (UP)-
Government leaders were disturbed
today by a speech of J. M. Dillon,
deputy leader of the Finegael party,
urging that Fire give the United
States and Britain air and naval
bases to Insure success against the
Nazi attempt at world conquest"
The address, made in the Dali.
(parliamenb surprised Eamon de
Valera, the premier, and William
T. Cosgrave, leader of the United
Ireland party, the chief minority
party.
De Valeras first reaction was to
order the censor to suppress the
speech. Later it was released in full.
1t was apparent that neither Dill
Ion nor de Valera was satisfied with
the results of Defense Minister
Frank Aiken's recent visit to the
United States in guest of defense
equipment. Dillon said Aiken had
made speeches there giving the
American people the impression
that the people of Fire unanimous
ly desired to remain neutral
Dillon said that was not true,
although he conceded that major
ity of the electorate now favored
the governments neutrality policy.
He hoped to change that view.

Germans dispatched an urgent ap-
peal for japanese action because of
the unexpected degree of Soviet re-

to have steadily retarded the Nazi

According to these reports, not

British high command there, the

relations in the far east.

Roosevelt Stakes
Neighbor Policy

WASHINGTON. July 1G tUP) -
President Roosevelt today aligned
the United StatacS in open Geo.
romic warfare against the Axis
powers in which he staked the
hemisphereic good noighbors" pol
icy on the cooperation of the other
20 American republics.
Administration officials. who have
developed the good neighbor" pol
icy, were plainly anxious as they
awaited the reaction of the other
Americas to this governments new
economic move against Germany
and Italy.
Acting under his emergency
powers and in behalf of national
defense, Mr. Roosevelt blacklisted
1.800 individuals and firms in the
other Americas. Declaring them
guilty of aiding the axis powers. ne
severed their commercial contact
with the United States and froze
their assets and credits here.
Many of the firms blacklisted
have operated in Latin America for
many years and employed thousands
from those countries. The admins
trations action against them as
enemies of the democracies subject
ed the good neighbour economy
to its most severe test.
Administration moves for months
have anticipated the development,
however. Extension of credits to
Latin America, huge purchases of
strategic materials. assistance un-
der the lend-lease program, and
similar moves have been designed
to cushion the effect which might
have been anticipated as result
of such a serious blow at major
companies operating in the other
hemisphere republics.

Con Roosevelt Make War?

In a curreift magazine Louis P. Eisner, a
member of the New York bar, ponders the
question: Can the President make war? The
answer, seems fairly obvious, according to
Mr.. Eisner. Not only can the President make
war but he has made war. By proclamation
and decree and by demanding of Congress
the necessary funds he has marshaled our
economic and military might against the
Axis. All of this has been without q declara-
ton of war from Congress.
The only check our Congress has on the
Presidents war-making is in voting him the
necessary funds to carry out the so-called
defense program. Under the guise OF defense
we can become embroiled in the most ter
rible war the world has seen in its known
history.
Many citizens today are asking how far
the President can go in waglng war. Inc
answer, Mr.. Eisner says, is that he can go as
far as he considers necessary TO protect TINS
nation.
Conceivable powers include Censorship OF
the mails; Requisitioning of every automo.
bile: Decreeing that every household turn
off the lights at a stated hour; Decreeing
that no citizen use the railroads or other
transportation for reasons other than urgent
business; Rationing of food, clothing, fuel
and whatever other commodities required;
Making every citizen give up fifty percent
Tor more) of his savings; Prohibiting rela-
tives of soldiers from finding where men
are stationed; Forbidding citizens to assem-
BILE; Decreeing that no person shall use
the public highways after dark; Taking
whatever other measures the President may
deem necessary for national defense.
It is also conceivable that some of these
powers may be taken in the future by the
President without a declaration of war ever
having been made by the American Congress.
Already we have some censorship of the
mails and rationing of raw materials SO as to
cut down consumer production, and many SOL
diers are being sent to island possessions or
bases who do not know where they are going
until they get there.
1t is quite likely that we will have further
serious curtailment CT Liberties we have en-.
joyed without question all eur lives. The
President is honor-bound to not suspend the
spirit of the Constitution of the United
States. He is under obligation to restore all
civil rights if and when the need for their
suspension is gone.
Should the President not see fit to restore
those rights then we would have in America
as complete a totalitarian state as it known
in Russia, Germany and Italy.
1t is not likely that the American people
would stand for this very long. We cannot,
or have not, been very excited about q war
in Germany and Europe. The American peo-
pie clearly do not want war. But when pow
ers are usurpted at home that threaten our
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, that is
something else again. And something the
American people are still virile enough 10
fight about.
