washington, ID. Z.
About a month ago l wrote that
there was a rumor to the effect
that the United tates was in an I'M
declared war which had been
marked .'private and CONFIDENTIAL"
and that therefore nobody would talk
about it. 1t was a war of dollars in
stead of bullets.
This new brand of warfare is eco
uomic and it has broken out on two
new fronts with the blacklIStlng OF
the pro-AXiS firms in South America,
and the freezing Of japanese trade.
The whole story can now be told.
Although some officials still shy
at the word warfare" when dis
cuSSing these methods of attack,
there are others who feel that it
should have been used frankly and
the methods and purpose explained
long ago. They say this strategy
would have been received sympa-
thetically by the people as a pre-
ventive measure against actual war
fare.
Just what is the difference be-
tween the battle of dollars and war
fare of bullets? What is the purpose
of each?
The word war" goes back to the
Anglo-Saxon WE'RE" which meant
a quarrel. And in those days a
quarrel meant a fight. Since quar-
rels no longer necessarily mean
fights, some people cling to the hope
that war need not always mean
shooting. Senator O'Mahoney re.
Gently said in the senate that he did
aot think the President was leading
he United States into war Of the
shooting variety. And the people
who believe in the battle of the dol
lars say that this kind Of a WE'RE"
may prevent shooting.
The object Of war in the military
sense is the destruction of the mill
tary forces of the enemy. In these
days the theory seems to be that in
order to destroy the military forces
It is necessary to destroy every
thing else.
The object of economic war is to
destroy the economic forces Of the
enemy. Unlike military war. dol
tar-warfare, according to its oppo-
uents, checks the steps which lead
to actual combat.

South America
As Battlefield

Using South America as the bat
tlefeld, this is the way they explain
their thesis:
The Germans set about to control
the Latin-American trade. By max
ing the economy Of a country de-
pendent on the wishes Of Berlin,
the Nazis obtain political influence
Just as business and other pressure
groups sometimes control political
power in this country. Once the
Germans have control of the eco
nomic forces in a country they sup
plement this control with bribery
and intrigue and finally attempt to
put a 100 per cent pro-Axis govern
ment in power.
Nazi control Of a number Of key
governments in South America, &C.
cording to the proponents Of the
theory of economic warfare, will re-
suit in a n to the safety of
this nation.
The recent attempt to overthrow
the government of Bolivia is ar ex-
ample Of N~azi-Fascist methods. 1t
was broken up with the help Of Unit
ed States agents who discovered
documents revealing the plot and
turned them over to the Bolivian
government. A similar plot, you
may recall, was discovered in Uru-
quay in the early days of the war.
What are the methods which the
United States government employs
to stop the German economic and
political penetration and pursue its
own economic warfare? Well, they
are in part the methods employed
in the early days when the great
trusts were built up in the United
States. Except that the United
States government itself is a trust
organized to benefit all and not to
exploit any of the peoples in the
Western hemisphere.

Nozis Jeer at Secrecy
OF HoIifox's Journey

BERLIN, Jan. Is (P).-The ar
rival in the United States of Lord
Halifax, Britain's new Ambassador
to Washington, got scant notice in
most of the German press today,
but the Boersen Zeitung gave it a
column headed Journey Accom-
panied by Heart Palpitation.
1t snickered at a nation which
claims to rule the seas having to
use a powerful battleship which is
sealed with the greatest secrecy to
get one man across the Atlantic.
Halifax lost no time to impress
on the American public the urgent
need for American help for Eng
land" the Boersen Zeitung said.
Shortly after Roosevelt met him
at the Annapolis dock, he declared
with the still unbroken arrogance of
an English aristocrat toward the
American people who once were COL
onlSts of the British that he would
inform the Americans from time to
time in what manner they can
help =.
England resembles a mortally
wounded man who, with his last
strength, fees into the arms of a
Samaritan who is able to speak COM
forting words and give a couple OF
injections producing dreams, but
who lacks the right medicines"

King George Voyage
Viewed as Dramatic
With Few War Risks
Trip Seen Partially
As Shokedown Cruise
For New BottIeship
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The secret transatlantic voyage
of the British battleShip King George
V viewed in diplomatic and naval
circles yesterday as a dramatic in
ternational gesture attended by rela-
lively few actual war risks.
The trip served partly as shake
down cruise for the new 35000-ton
vessel. possibly the worlds most
powerful for the time being.
The first trials were staged only
last April and months normally are
required 20 iron out all the kinks
of a complex warcraft which. is the
first of an untried new type.
On the other side of the Atlantic,
the King George V likely was es-
corted through the danger zone by
destroyers and possibly aircraft pa
trols.
Little Danger in L. S.
On this side distance, the big
ships speed of some 80 knots. and
the American Navy'S neutrality pa
troll were safeguards against peril
of the fate suffered by the torpedoed
battleship ROYAL Oak.
Unless an axis submarine already
was lurking in American waters,
there was little danger on this side.
There was insufficient time for one
to cross the Atlantic and lie in
wait off the Chesapeake, once the
battleShips position had been made
known to the world
And thus far. the American Navy
has failed to SubStantlate a single
report that U-boats have operated
across the ocean in this war.
From Annapolis, the King George
Y was expected to head back to Brit
ain-possibly via Halifax, Nova
Scotia-to become a part of the
naval forces held in reserve to cope
with any attempt at invasion.
Vital in Mediterranean.
The British have found battle
ships vital in the Mediterranean, to
protect conveys against powerful
Italian craft, and to pound Fascist
ports in Llbya. Older vessels have
been used for these purposes, how
ever, newer ships being retained in
the home fleet.
The Nazi Navy is reported to have
put two new battleships into COM
mission recently and naval strategy
dictates that they must be check
mated by vessels of at least equal
power.
The British Admiralty has cloaked
the King George v and her four
sister ships in wartime secrecy.
They were officially listed in the
United States as we'll as abroad as
merely under construction at a
time when it was known that at
least two already had been rushed to
completion.
The claim that the new King
George class battleships are the
most powerful afoat will be dis
puted this summer when the new
American battleships Washington
and North Carolina join the fleet
Possibly not quite as fast, the Ameri-
can ships carry heavier guns, and
are protected by much the same
shields and other safeguards against
air attack that attracted attention
