If we should say to Senator
Wheeler, Men like you are
more 10 blame than any others
that this war ever occurred, he
would call it another smear
Yet Mr.. Wheeler is an isola-
zionist for peace As for war,
men of his mind have forced the
American nation 10 throw away
or leave unused the mighty
power won for it here IN 1918.
He is a leading representative
of the mind that thinks that
peace is something negative,
something that occurs out OF
baeelie -nitwittedneSs,- some
thing that is made and kept by
power and power alone
TIE IS no advocate Of another
IL foreign policy than that of
the President. He advocates no
foreign policy at all. He IS a
great apologist for a. vacuum.
Unfortunately vacuumS invite
that they be filled with some
thing and that something that
fills a vacuum in foreign policy
usually is aggressNe-~iaf.
War is now on our doorstep.
but Mr.. Wheeler thinks he can
fill the vacuum by postal cards
TO service men. If only we can
get enough sabotage in our
armed forces he apparently
thinks we shall certainly have
peace.
This is a highly gratifying
thought 10 our enemies whose
foreign policy for America is
exactly Wheelers absence Of
one. Absence of one invites their
intervention in America in place
of our intervention elsewhere
There is always an intervention
issue. The only question IS OF
who does the intervening.
II Japan is heSitating about
intervening, Wheeler encourages
her TO take steps. Mr.. Wheeler
divests himself of responsibility
for his actions by affirming pu-
rity motives. but history takes
little account of motives. 1t
judges by results.
Brutus and others have been
honorable men.

There is no doubt that this
American government known
as the New Deal is tricky and
sly, although the draft law is
not an example of its,cunning.

Our New Deal statesmen will
disguise ISSUES and mask inten-

times resent being told that
their government is trying TO
slip something over on them,
but if the objections are raised
and properly emphasized for
the public attention that is the
end of our responsibility. Con-

Hard TO Explain Action
Of Wheeler Abroad
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

7 ONDON, July 30. - To try to
- explain Senator Burton X.
Wheeler 10 any one not Ameri-
can, is an all but impossible
task.
This world-minded country,
Great Britain, observes with be-
wilderment that while the battle
of Moscow is being fought at
Smolensk, and the JapS bully
concessions from eX-French Indo-
CHINA Which can put Them IN
most important strategical posi-
ton in Saigon with war on three
continents and all seven seas,
and with President Roosevelt,
Secretary of War Henry L.
StimSon and Undersecretary of
State Sumner WelleS all warn
ing of the extreme gravity Of
the moment. Wheeler takes steps
which IN any other country in
the world would be branded as
an attempt to stir up dis
satisfaction in arm q forces
and come under the charge of
treason.
Now I do not believe Senator
Wheeler is a traitor or that he
wishes anything but the best of
fortune for the United States.
He Is only stubborn. bitterly
LreSentful- man provincial
outlook, 1bySmally ignorant of
world policies, and absolutely
convinced that he is trying 10
spare the country Of the terrors
OF war.
THE America Of the future that
L the NaziS envisaCe headed
by a government willing and
eager TO collaborate with the
new world order will not have
president who is a member of
either major party They want
an outsider elected on a fusion
ticket in this chaos of national
disaster.
They do not want a provin-
cially minded man from Montana
with extremely strong national
sentiments. but an intentionally
minded man willing to Join in
their conspiracy 10 reorganiZe
the world in the interests Of the
new NietZSchen type of master
men. Above all they do not want
a man who is opposed 10 the
concentrations of the power Of
SupertruStS economic conSolida-
tionS or relationships.
No. Mr.. Wheeler r. nor their
man except. like many others.
he seems 10 favor them for the
moment. But Mr.. w hce g r,
though he is an iSolationiSt, can
not isolate even his own actions.
WHAT Wheeler says is news
w 10 London. Toxic. Berlin
and the islands Of the seas. His
remarks and his actions raise
questions among men and diplo-
mats Oh many IdNfS anu lllhliN
nations. One of the questions
raised is:
Does the United States have
any foreign policy nj all ."
Others are.
Us anything the President and
his government have To say "a
he taken Seriously"
III n few men like wheeler
can conduct their own policies
and their own indirect diplo-
macy, what value shall we attach
to official utteranccs?
So the question arises whether
the United States is able 10 make
either. peace or NYar or whether
II can ever have consistency N

Lesson in
Elastic Draft
But Usual American Is
Too Lazy TO Learn
BY wESTBROOK PEGLER
THIS little incident of the elas-

THIS little incident of the elias
Il tic draft law ought 10 be a
lesson 10 all of us, but more
likely il will be no such thing,
for George Spelvin. American. is
mentally lazy and careless and
uses headline impressions and
catchWords in lieu of Informal
ton on matters of vital impor-
lance.
Specifically. if you should ask
Mr.. Spelvin today TO state the
meaning of the selective service
act, ne would reply that this
was the one that required all the
young fellows 10 spend a year in
the army and learn to shoot and
march.
He still thinks il limited that
service 10 one year, you know,
like in France, before the crash
only in France maybe IL was
two or three years or whatever.
but, anyway. everybody had TO
do II and we have got so many
people that we don't need but
one year.
OF late Mr.. Spelvin has begun
10 learn that there was a kicker
in the law which permits Con-
gress 10 keep the one-year men
beyond their time in case Of
emergency and he is pretty sore
about that and suspects trickery
or sharp practice.
DUT still Mr.. Spelvin hasn't
- read the law. which was
published in many OF the papers
at the time And, not to pretend
that / have, this is by way Of
admitting 4hat this SpelNin, who
should have studied IT carefully
as a duty in ms line OF work,
hasn't yet glanced al copy.
Moreover, / have just finished
a conversation with another Mr..
Spelvin. an editor. who is sup
posed 10 keep himself thoroughly
informed and who, furthermore,
has son in the armed forces,
but hasn't read the law either.
Like millions of others. he
thought II was a fiat one-year
service law with no trick clauses
or fine print and he thinks the
reason why the catch, or reserve
clause. escaped his attention was
that all of us were thinking
about the presidential campaign
at the time. which may be so.
but might not be. Probably very
few of us would have read il
through. anyway.
ONE critic has blamed the
" American free press for
falling 10 examine and discuss
the .Mhole bill. and. On the basis
Of that. the press owes the pub
lie careful. efficient service in
return for its freedom. He is
right.
The press apparently booted
one IN this case and should have
given Mr. Spelvin the neglected
facts in jolting headlines in rec
IGNITION of the fact that he COM

he is belted over the scalp with.

cialist.

son, speaking in New York, denied
charges the Army is devoting too
much time to basic training. He
said "ours is not a mass Army,
stalking its success on sheer weight
of men and machines" He said
the ratio of infantry to air service
nine to one in 1917-1S-is now al
most one to one and "our plans call
for a higher proportion of armored
and mtorized units than Germany
has today"
