gency for new plants-a frac-
tion of needed expansion-snd rec
oenises at last that steam plants
are an essential part of the electric
power plant of America, as con-
trasted with hydroelectric develop
ments, and far more certain as has
been proved now by the drought in
the Tennessee Valley, which at
times seriously curtails power pro-
duction.
If administration oficials were not
constantly seeking TO shift the blame
ss they are repeatedly trying to do
in the case OF aluminium produc-
ton, which is inadequate to meet
the fantastic figures Of needs being
banded about, there would be no
inclination now to 90 back to the
record as it would be much better
if bygones could be bygpnes-a lesson
apparently which Secretary Ickes
refuses TO learn and which the Presi-
dent does not encourage him to learn
in the interest of national unity.

mania or Bulgaria, it is difficult
TO impress them with the reality
of the danger since so many
thousand miles separate them
from Europe.
They are impressed by the
military victories of the Germans
and the efficiency of their eco
nomic machine.
Although we tell them Ger
many can hardly keep body and
soul together because of the lack

because of the lack of basic law

And this is not surprising when
we look effectively at the general
situation.
L. S. PriOrities Hurt Brazil.
The Brazilian government, like
many other American republics,
is handicapped in obtaining in
dustrial products and basic in
dustrial material from the United
States because the priority board
must take care of the needs OF
Great Britain and the United
States first.
II there is priority board in
Germany. it certainly disposes of
the requirements of other ma
tions from the political point OF
view.
Thus in Brazil there are two
important German airlines: Con-
dor and Varig. The Brazilian gov
ernment, realizing how the func-
tioning of those air companies
might eventually jeopardize the
security Of the country, estab-
hshed a Brazilian airline-the
Wasp. The line was organized. but
it had no planes. Repeated re-
quest to this country for trans
port planes were fruitless. Our
factories had their hands full
with military orders for the
United States and Britain and
could hardly satisfy the require
ments of our own commercial
lines.
The Germans sent a ship-the
Lech-which ran through the
British blockade and brought one
airplane to Brazil. together with
the necessary spare parts and
many other industrial products
OF the Reich This was an obvi-
Gus denial of stories that Ger
many was short of raw materials
and could not produce for COM
merce. 1t was also an indication
of Germany's good will when it
risked large cargo boat to send
needed supplies to Brazil.

Spectacular developments in
Europe and Asia still keep in the
background, as far as the public
is concerned, important develop
ments for our own defense in the
Southern continent.
The administration is endeav-
oring with all means at its dis
posal to strengthen the ties with
South American republics. There
is no question that relations with
our Latin American friends have
improved greatly, but for many
reasons they still are somewhat
complicated. Ethical methods
followed by official and unofficial
agents of the United States are
often frustrated by more active
and less ethical methods of Axis
agents, who have the advantage
over us by having started their
"co-operation" policy years ahead
Of the United States.

the governments and peoples of
South America that if they play

desire to reconsider the whole busi-
ness and lay it on the table.
In addition, the trenchant point Is
now being made that the proposed
depth of the csnal-27 feet-will be
inadequate to accommodate more
than a small percentage of the war
and cargo vessels for whose use it is
supposed to be. For example, it is
said that of 384 ships now being
built under the Maritime Commits
sion's emergency program only
about 80 could keep their keels of
the seaway bottom. In itself, this
would appear a reason calculated
to stall the project, but it seems not
to weigh much with it's sponsors.
As 4 Power Project.
Stress has been laid by the Presi-
dent on the electric power srgu-
ment, though it has been authorita-
lively stated time and time again
that We can build highly efficient
steam plants more cheaply and more
rapidly at strategic points than we
can develop st. Lawrence water
power. In reply to the allegation
that this is a pet project Of Mr..
Roosevelt's. it is asserted that Mr..
Harding, Mr.. Coolidge and Mr..
Hoover favored 1t while In the
White House They did not how
ever, favor it during an unlimited
national emergency, when its con-
struction would sidetrack an army
Of men and vast quantities of mate
rial vitality needed to preserve our
ally from destruction and our own
security. When they favored it, the
utmost speed was not being de-
manded in our own immediate de-
fense program. Nor were we tagging
both on our domestic armament and
in the aid we are giving the British.
Nor. in their day, was there any un-
certainty as to where the men, the
money and the materials to do the
job were to be found.

1t was pigeonholed because the
President. fearful of antagonizing
the public ownership school of
thought in the New Deal, let mat
tiers drift and refused to accept
the well-vorked out compromise for
settling the whole electric power
problem submitted to him in con-
fidence by Wendell Willkie in Janu-
airy, 1888. Mr.. Roosevelt allowed
enough money to 60 into Federal
air projects SO that investors were
frightened. This killed the market
for the financing of common stocks
from which utility companies have
since been told by Government
decree they must get their expan-
sion money instead of by further
issues Of bonds.

President admitted in a press con-
ference that he feared an electric

our commercial lines some "a air
liners and sent them across the
Atlantic.
Many an official who is keenly
interested in placing our good
neighbor policy on a more solid
footing, while not denying that
the British probably needed these
commercial planes, maintain that
they would have done far better
work if they had been sent to
Brazil. If President Vargas could
get planes from this country he
would not hesitate to natiOnalize
the German lines. He is said to
have asked for Y or IA air liners
TO put his scheme into effect.
Conversations for assistance to
the Wasp air line are now in prog
ress and it is possible that within
the next few months we shall be
able to deliver some commercial
planes to Brazil from the stock
Of our own commercial lines.
The cargo ship Lech made

The German technique of war
fare is to talk peace and mean
war; to make pacts to secure
time. but to break them at ex-
actiy the right moment: to lull
the enemy to sleep and attack
him with lightning swiftness and
overwhelming force, in the place
where he least expects 1t, and
without provocation or warming.
