WASHINGTON. - Few American
ambassadors have been chosen be-
cause Of their philosophy John Wi
nant, just taking over his new du-
ties as envoy TO the Court of St
James, was.
Externally he is not the type TO
wear knee breeches and gcnutlcct TO
royalty.
He is tall, Lincolnesquc appear
ing. He is no orator. He has had
no previous diplomatic experience.
He is anything but the glass OF fash
ion, although he comes from n
wealthy New York family. He was
once Republican governor of New
Hampshire. President Roosevelt
called him in to head the first social
security board. Later he was dircc-
tor of the international labor office
at Geneva.
Many persons in Washington will
tell you they cannot see why this
man was chosen for our most impor-
tant foreign diplomatic post. Within
limits it is anybody's guess. This is
mine:
Mr.. Roosevelt believes that Amer
lea is to play the dominating role
in the peace that is to come. He
believes that the democracies must
have as definite a program to offer
the bewildered and bleeding peoples
of the earth as the totalitarians. Hit
Ter has named his. 1t is national So
cialism. Roosevelt has his-the
New Deal.
'If' Great Britain Wins.
II Great Britain wins the war, her
chosen representatives will dictate
the terms which will shape the new
world. II they are to be persuaded TO
do the job on the American plan
they must understand what that plan
is. Therefore, since the man whose
function il is to interpret the United
States to Great Britain in the pre-
peace days is our ambassador, he
must truly represent his President.
OF course all ambassadors are sup
posed to be the personal representa-
tiVes OF their head of state but I'M
der these circumstances the Prcsi-
a man who Mr.. Roosevelt believes,
believes as he believes.
That is the reason the President
sent Harry Hopkins over i'm the fate
full intcrludc between Il Kennedy and
Winant.
John Winant will talk to the king
or the prime minister or Whomevcr
is head OF the pcace-m aking govern
ment, in the language OF President
Roosevelt. That is not precisely the
language which Joseph Kennedy
spoke so understandingly to the Eng
lishman he knew best and respected
highly, the late Neville Chamberlain,
the language of the conservative lib
eral, the man of property. Winants
language is the language OF what he
would probably describe social val
ues"-for he is the New Deal in
carnate.

PEACEMAKER:
An Offer

Japan offered to be the peacemak-
er of the world and arbitrate all dis
putes. The offer came in a state
ment from Foreign Minister Yosuke
Matsuoka. Churchill conferred with
U. S. authorities and then called in
the Japanese ambassador. His re-
ply was one word No"
Meanwhile the Japanese peace
makers" in Indo-China were mop
ping up on their job. Having in
stigated a conflict between Thailand
(Siam) and the French rulers of
Indo-China, Japan stepped in and
enforced" an armistice, taking
for itself the rich port of Saignon.
While the terms of the armistice
were being developed into a peace
treaty, Japanese soldiers extended

their influence in Indo-China until
the French rulers became mere pup
pets. Stores were filled with Jap
anese products and residents who re-
fused to buy them were beaten and
jailed.
Just west of the Indo-Chinese
sphere of influence is the Philippines
and just south are the Dutch East
Indies, chief source of United States
tin and rubber. The Japanese
turned covetous eyes on that spot.
If that source of supply would be
closed to United States shipping,
Americas entire defense effort
would be threatened.
Big Stick
Washington said nothing, but car
ried big stick. The U. S. fleet was
known to be somewhere in the
vicinity. Gen George c. Marshall,
chief of staff of the army, also had
big stick. Hundreds of army fight
ing planes left the West coast for
our Pacific possessions-Hawaii and
the Philippines.
More important, the house voted
funds to fortify the islands of Guam
and Samoa, the u. S. Gibraltars in
the Pacific. The same proposal was
defeated in the house two years ago
for fear of offending Japan.

War-GaS DriUen Cars
Increase in Finland


Recently we reported the expert
mental work being done by the de-
partment OF agriculture laboratory
in Peoria, ILL.,, in the manufacture
OF alcohol from corn residue. In
Finland, where necessity has be-
come the mother of invention, re-
ports coming TO Washington show
that they are already running auto
mobiles without gasoline. The Firms
have wood-gas carburetors in their
cars. Finland in normal times i'm
ports all of it's petroleum. In these
times il can get little or none.
According to information reaching
the legation here in your capital city
the Finnish ministry OF supplies and
transport has issued orders to the eff
feet that automobiles all over Fin
land, including privately owned cars,
busscs and trucks, must be fitted
with the WOod-gas carburetors es
soon as possible. The only excep-
tions are ambulanccs and the cars
and trucks of the fire brIgadcs Ev-
cry day now sees an Increase OF
the Wood-gas driven cars on the
streets OF Hclsink. BY early No
Vcmbcr, 800 woodgas carburctors
were in use in Finland, as well as
$3.50 Charcoal-gas carburctors, an
other substitute for gasoline.
And this affects the farmer, too.
All tractors in agricultural use are
being fitted with the woodgas car
buretors. Nearly all buses are al
ready running on wood-gas, and pas
scngeTs are gTatihed with the abb
sence Of the noxious gas fumes usu-
ally associated with gasoline-driven
busscs-one Of the advantages of
wood gas.
New service stations have had 10
be set up, for the servicing now is
not merely q question of supplying
the fuel but also OF cleaning the car
buretors and emptying the ashes,
which must be done under cover.
Last August, when wood-g gas car
burctors were introduced into Fin
land, the state appointed a commit
tee to find means TO finance their
purchase. This committees recon-
mendatlon, to set up a guarantee
company in which the state would
take part, was carried out by the
establishment in October OF a Joint
stock company, Wood-Gas Generator
Credits, Inc, which extends credits.
up to maximum of 10 per cent OF
the cost toward the purchase OF the
new carburetors.
The ministry Of supply and trans
port also appointed technical com
mlttec TO work on improvements
and notifications Of the carburetors.
The state granted 100000 to start
this work
Although the development OF wood
gas in Finland thus far has been a
temporary eXpedicncy II may have
a future as fuel in the motor world.
In that case, Finland, according 10
the Finnish experts, with her wealth
OF forests, would be in the first rank
Of motor-fuel producing countries.
At all events, she would be indie
pendent as far as her own auto traf-
fic is concerned.
However, If and when the Firms
once again secure their political in
dependence, il is to be hoped they
will be part OF a world where com
plete economic independence is not
necessary-a world where there is
a free flow Of all the products OF the
earth and Of industry between ne
tions

Stettinius' Job

Priorities is the job now. It will
do no good TO produce 40 airplane
engines and no airplane tail assem-
blies. The defense commission must
regulate production so that every
item down to the last eraser on a
lead pencil arrives just at the mo-
ment it can be used
The task is under the direction OF
r. r. Stettinius Jr Aluminium and
machine tool industries we're first to
feel the effects of his order. By
authority of the navy speedup law
passed last June, Stettinius direct
ed that both industries put aside all
other labor and devote their entire
energies to filing defense contracts.
After defense contracts are under
way, commercial production will be
rationed But until such time as the
government has sufficient alumni
mum, for instance for planes and
tanks, there will be little or none for
streamlined trains, kitchen utensils
or even tooth paste tubes.
Meanwhile procurement and pro-
duction must be stepped up to meet
new demands.
