US. Will Not Declare War

Senator Wheeler as leader of the soatonists, sug-
gested the other day that the President submit wal
declaration to Congress-
Of course nobody considers seriously that we would
declare war. War; if it ever comes will have to be
declared by Hitler
The debate which the Montana Senator visualizes
would probably furnish the Axis powers with just the
information withheld for military reasons.
The isolationsts, it is indicated, would advance as
their main argument that America is woefully Un-
prepared. If they answered, either the Govern
ment would refuse to give the data of our Army and
Navy and materials strength, would have to dis
close those vital secrets So the Wheeler project is not
going to get very far.
The debate would probably range far into the field

World Affairs


The English have gradually
gained such a position that the
war will hereafter become most
decidedly in their favor unless
the Germans succeed in cut
ting down their oil imports to q
very low figure.
The sea warfare therefore is
expected to be mainly against
tankers. The chances of starry
ing the English out have been
set too high and preventing the
importation of arms from the
U. S. involves dangerous bust
ness, for the Germans.
Therefore, the Germans must
choke off English oil imports
to obtain an even canoe for a lin.
With the English navy far
scattered, it will not be affect
ed half as much as the air force
based at home = as planned by
the Germans.
Wars are not won that way.
The man with the rifle has won
all wars and will win this one.
Air forces are powerful and
destructive weapons of destruc-
ton but they cannot win wars.
The air forces flyers are all men
who are officers and thus COM
pose super force that is q law
unto itself once it has taken to
to the air - for it then is not
under discipline. Air forces are
a revival of the ancient knight
idea of free lance fighters. When
peace comes the air corps Of all
belligerents is going to be Il

Lately the Japanese have not
only indicated they cannot beat
China but asked the Chinese Big
Boy for his terms to bring the
incident to a finish. The United
States, being involved in the
racket over there took hand.
The idea was that Japan gain
release from the war and sub
side into peace while the U. S.
and Great Britain would take
their armed forces home and
the English would be able to
concentrate on Italy and Ger
many in Europe. This would be
an excellent thing for all concern
ed and would bring peace to halt
the world that would benefit
everyone. The only fly in the
buttermilk is does Japan regard
treaties as more than scraps OF
paper and will she demonstrate
like a nation of honor that she
is not merely seeking to get
foreign navieS out OF the Far
East and her army out OF the
vastneso of China where it has
foundered around several years
SO that she can, when the day
arrives, become master of that
quarter CT the earth by dis
regarding her treaties to the
contary? The modern trend as
set by Hitler and approved by
Nippon as evidenced by her join
ing the Axis, indicates that no
international treaty is worth
very much and any paper the

as long as the Axis wants, that
is as long as it takes for then

CONTRACTS HELP
BRING IN VOTES

President Roosevelt's aides are
applying every ounce OF military
pressure and patronage to put
through the resolution extend
ing the army service Of draftees.
Their smart handling Of defense
and cantonment contracts may
furnish enough votes for pass
age.
Recently the War department
selected II new camp sites for
the expanding army, but refused
TO tip off members OF congress
on their location. Chief of staff
Marshall demanded secrecy until
the last moment for fear of real
estate gouging. since funds for
actual purchase are not yet
available. The congressman in
sisted that they should receive
the information - hours in ad-
vance. They wanted 10 tele-
graph the exclusive news 10
prominent constituents, local
newspapers and chambers of
commerce, and receive credit for
the deal. That is an old capital
hill custom. General Marshall
said No and the apparently
trivial controversy was laid be-
fore the political higherups. The
chief OF staff was forced TO COM
promise. The 40-odd legislators
involved were given a siN-hour
head start with the flash. They
have obtained similar or greater
fsvors from oPM on defense
contracts.
Despite this pressure. ballot
ing in the house will be close.
The Republicans probably viii
contribute $50 negative votes. II
they can pick NJ about so Demo
Gratis they will defeat the move.
