SABOTAGE GOES

OF WORLD WAR
UNITED STATES KEEPS ON
WITH PREPAREDNESS MIN.

By JACK sFINNErr
AP Feature Service Writer

January l. 1915, a SI.5O0, 900 in
cendiary fire IN the John A Roe
bling Co. Plant at Trenton, n. j..
manufacturing war supplies for
the Allies. blew the lid off one of
the most amazing series Of sabo-
tage cases IN world history.
For nearly four years, these
tragic accidents were to occur
in Americas preparedness and
defense efforts with. staggering
repetition.
In February. there was an ex-
plosion of suspicious origin IN the

plant and another occurred in the
same place three weeks later.
That summer a foreigner made
an unsuccessful effort to blow up
the Capitol. planting his bomb in
the Vice Presidents reception
room just off the senate chamber.
In 1916, the whole country was
rocked by the Black Tom ex-
plosions on the New Jersey water
front in New York harbor. The
explosions ratified windows and
shook buildings 80 miles away.
The damage couldn't be esti-
mated More than a million dol
lars worth of plate glass was shat
tered in windows and store fronts
in Manhattan across the bay.
After more than two years of
national defense and industrial
effort for Great Britain and her
allies in the current war. there

simply elements in plan and plot
to get us into war.
Those measures have not only
succeeded in keeping US out of the
slaughter and other horrors OF the
trans-oceanic struggle for two
years, but have resulted in putting
this country on a basis Of defense
against any possible eventuality
The only way We can be dragged

sters making war on us. II he
were timorous about this two
years ago, he knows it would be
more desperate venture now. The
defense of England and the resist
ance of Russia - made possible
largely by American supply efforts
- insures that Hitler will do moth
ing more than assassinate shipping
until, or unless. he has conquered
England and Russia
Meanwhile, Congress will con-
tinue to function as usual; the
newspapers will go right on print
ing what they please; the movies
will found their pictures on what
they think the public wants; and
Colonel Lindbergh will still be de-
iivering his farewell address.

Colonel Lindbergh has discovered
a new peril. In recent address
he warned the people Of the United
States that there might be no Con
gressional election next year
He was quite serious about it.
He gave no specifications as to
how the calamity would Or could
be brought about except to infer
that the Presidents exercising his
prerogatives as Commander = in
Chief of the Army and Navy was
logical prelude for the elimina-
tion OF Congress.
1t so happens that the National
Legislature is ordered by the Con-
stitutiOn TO meet at noon on the
third day Of each January. unless
it selects another day. The Presi-
dent has no more to do with it
than the mayor of Oshkosh. The
legislatures OF the various States
determine when and how Congress
men shall be elected. The Presi-
dent has the right to vote for the
candidate from his own Congress
sional district, like any other citi-
zen, but that is his limit.
Congress can impeach the Pres
, ident; the President can't impeach
Congress. The President can call
Congress in special session but he
can't adjourn it. except in the un-
likely instance OF a deadlock be-
tween the two Houses on adjourn.
ment date, when the Chief Execu-
tive may fix the time. AS neither
House can adjourn without consent
of the other. the exception simply
means that unless the two Cham
bers want to end a session, but
cannot agree on a specific time,
the President can break that dead
lock.
1t would be interesting if the ap-
peaser aviator would indicate what
steps a President might take to
prevent a Congressional election.
There has been no interruption of
the normal process Of naming the
National Legislature for the CEN
tury and a half of our States ex-
istence. though every President
who confronted an emergency was
accused OF usurping power. Wash
ingtOn. Jefferson, Lincoln, TheO-
dore Roosevelt and Woodrow Viii
son were each in turn charged
with dictatorial aggression on
! Congressional prerogatives. but
curiously enough it never occurred
| to one OF these to eliminate Con
gress.
The Party Leaders Don't Know 1t
II is part of the isolationist creed
to regard every accord Of a major
, ity of the legislative branch Of the
government with the Presidents S
policies as evidence OF his domina-
ton. Their theory is that every
supporter Of the Chief Executive
is d rubber stamp, and every op-
| p0nent is a patriot. How they Clas-

tion measures and against others,
is not disclosed.
Inc menace Of an extinguished
Congress does not seem to have
affected the leaders of the two big
parties. They are going ahead in
the same old tried way Of prepar-
ing for the campaign, organizing
the districts and stalking the pros
pectiye candidates to arguments
The isolationist wing of the G. o.
P. is trying to drive their party
into an Endorsement Of the philos-
ophy that Americas safety lies in
doing nothing. The Willkie-Wads-
worth type of leadership Is fulmi-
mating the other way about, and
the titular boss National Chair
man Joe Martin - is vibrating be-
tween the poles, talking about the
shortcomings OF the Democratic
administration just as If there
were no emergency - and there
fore the election of a Republican
Congress is demanded.
Concerning Freedom of Speech
Another threat or promise -
was Lindbergh's wailing that the
indicated speech might be his last
because he feared for the freedom
of speech. He based this state
ment. apparently, on the Difficult
ties he has had occasionally in
getting a hall in some communities
That is on par with another
complaint, that the newspapers
gave greater prominence to anti
isolationist views than to those on
his side. So the newspaper stories
of appeasers' speeches being fur
nished. with the free frank of Con
gressmen, to organizations linked
with Nazi propaganda, are hailed
as evidence of "smearing" Of their
spokesmen The corollary Of that
extraordinary principle is that
freedom of speech not only involves
the right of orators to voice their
opinions but implies that audiences
should be furnished by municipali-
ties to listen to them. The liberty
Of the press, according to the
same doctrine, embraces the Obll-
CATION of the publications to put
before their readers matters which
the publishers may not consider
news of consequence or as being
conducive to the welfare OF the
country. The thought is on a par
with that which produced the gro
tesuue sub-Senate Committees ef
fort to show that the movies were
war-mongering because they put on
the screen what they thought their
audiences wanted to see, and
which would bring the bigger Gus
tom to their show houses
Actually, of course. the oppon
ents Of the Presidents foreign pol
icy will continue without hindrance
to use whatever radio time they
require, and to keep up their vi
tuperation as to the Presidents
aims and purposes. They will keep
on hailing his defense measures as

White House Allows
Modification Of
Export Licensing
Single General Permit
For Various Wartime
Materials Possible

Modification of the export control
licensing system to permit exports
of varied materials under a single
general license was announced at
the White House late today with
issuance of an executive order per-
mitting the change.
Issuance of the order, it was ex-
planned, was on recommendation OF
Col. Russell l.. Maxwell, admins
traitor of export control, at whose
discretion the general licenses may
henceforth be permitted.
"The general licenses" the White
House announcement said, will ex-
pedite shipments in these cases
where rigorous controls are not re-
quired in the defense program. Full
information as to the quantity
leaving the country will be con-
tinuously available and defense
needs will continue to be the pri-
mary consideration"
In his recommendation, it was
explained, Col. Maxwell pointed out
that general licenses where they
could be utilized, would facilitate
the handling of applications, re-

Secretary of the. Navy Knox told
his press conference today that all
Navy Yards were being placed on a
six-day, three-shift basis as rapidly
as possible. The program was begun
several months ago, he said.
In other shore establishments
where a three-shift basis is not ex-
pedient, efforts are being made to
raise the work day from eight to ten
hours, he added. The Washington
Navy Yard has boosted production
three times since he became Secre-
tary, Col. Knox added.
Joint training exercises of units
of the Navy, Marine Corps and
Army will be conducted in Puerto
Rican waters beginning January 81,
Secretary Knox announced.
Coordination Is Goal.
Continuing through February, the
joint exercises are scheduled to

and Navy Departments, seeking
coordination of effort.

British Probe Report
Soviet Plans Great
F|eetto GET us. Good!
Serious Repercussions'
On Blockade Seen, for
Move Would Aid Reich
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreSS.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-The British
Minister of Economic Warfare, Hugh
Dalton, was said authoritatively to-
day to be investigating reports that
Soviet Russia proposes to form q
200-vessel merchant fleet to carry
produce from the Americas to Rus
sia..
This reported intention of Moscow
was seen here as of great sig
niflcance to Britain's attempt to
strangle Germany by the blockade,
since informed persons say it is clear
that Russia's trade obligations with
the Reich cannot be fully met from
her own resources unless Russians
themselves are to 60 short.
Imports of oil, cotton and corn,
for example, would release equiva-
lent quantities for Germany.
British sources said they believed
some United States producers were
helping the axis by selling Russia
commodities in which Germany was
deficient.
The sale Of cotton is one example
cited.
