increase in armament production''-without
shying away from the slow and unsatisfactory
progress we have made so far. 1t is honest
in that it makes no bones about the sacrifices
to be called for and the fact that Mr.. Roose-
welt intends them to be made on behalf of the
peoples everywhere now resisting aggres-
sion'' as well as on our own account.
A most serious overtone, however, is MIR.
Roosevelt's abandonment of such qualifica-
lions as short of war; in promising full sup
port to the democracies. But there can be
no quarrel with the realistic analysis of Amer
ica's place in the world situation, the broad
detectives of which Mr.. Roosevelt has set out,
and the future aims with which he concludes
his speech.
To all Americans 1.-The cooperation of all
free countries, working together in a friendly
civilized society," must be the basis of the
new world order which we might help to
create and in which we would hope to play a
part. 1t is in part to make that dream come
true that we are arming now and are keeping
firm in our determination to help arm the
nations fighting for freedom and human
rights.

ton that commercial pilots do. The CONNER
cial pilots one job is to get his plane safely
through and to stay On the ground if the risks
are great. Military and naval fliers operate
under different standards because they are
training and preparing for a totally different
emergency.
At the same time it is highly important now
for the army and navy to safeguard carefully
the lives of it's trained personnel. Risks must
be taken, but they should be kept to the es'
sential ones. III any emergency that may arise
for many months ahead the army and navy
will desperately need all the military pilots
and officers it has or can train. Every mar
needlessly lost represents not only a personal
grief but a painful blow to a national defense
which is still woefully inadequate.

The San Diego Crash

Loss of a large navy transport plane with
il American naval aiers is a heart-sickening
tragedy at any time. The crash near San
Diego is made more poignant by the fact
that four Of the fliers who lost their lives
had escaped a similar fate only a few hours
before when they had parachuted to safety
from another plane.
Such a loss is doubly tragic at a time when
the country can i'll afford to spare any military
planes and trained flying personnel. It will
take the navy months and perhaps years to
replace the officers and men who went down
with their plane with others of similar ex-
perience and judgment.
It is not possible of course to demand that
military fliers observe the same rules Of eau.

Fire. Bomb Fighters

1t is too early 20 say whether another major
incendiary bomb raid against London or other
British towns would fail to repeat the damage
done last week in the capital and in the port
of Bristol. What is clear is that anything on
a smaller scale will be taken in stride by the
embattled defenders.
Last Sunday night the Germans sent their
planes over London once more with arson as
their purpose, only to find that the newly
organized fire bomb fighters were ready
for them. One correspondent reported that as
the missiles fell hundreds of persons poured
out Of doorways to deal with them. In a short
time most of the i~ncipient fires had been ex-
tinguished and the jubilant Londoners were
shouting, I'VE want more"
Doubtless the Germans, by mixing demoli-
ton bombs with the incendiaries, can increase
the number of casualties among the volunteer
fighters. Nor is it to be expected that they
will recoil from such tactics. But, considering
how British firemen and rescue workers have
braved danger in order to do their Jobs, it is
safe to say that the flames will be put out.
Meanwhile encouraging progress is reported
in the work of devising means of defense
against night bombings. Hints that develop
ments are OH the way are becoming more anc
more open. 1t may not be very long before
this horror will be mitigated, if not ended.

FORT BRAGG SEEN AS POSSIBLE MARK

FORT BRAGG SEEN AS POSSIBLE MARKET
Lumberton Voice
Strong prospects for obtaining a wholesale
and produce market and utilization by far
mers of the county of the market opened Up
at Fort Bragg appeared this week as Secre-
tary J. c. Fulton of the local Chamber of
Commerce and Agriculture announced in a
letter to Directors of the organization that
the Goa has contacted an experienced packer
willing to handle the project just as soon as
a definite outlet for the produce can be ar
ranged. Secretary Fulton states that as soon
as authorities at Fort Bragg decide on the
method of procedure he hopes to announce
formulation of complete plans.
The matter of a wholesale and produce
market here has been receiving the attention
of our people for some time and the recent
great expansion of Fort Bragg with its pos
sibilities as a market for produce has spurred
the Chambers efforts. The Voice, advocating
local marketing facilities to give farmers
means of realizing the opportunities opened
up at Fort Bragg, has proposed in recent edi-
torials that procedure similar to this be adapt

A second reading of President Roosevelt S
to congress adds stature to the docu-
ment and to the man. 1t is not by choice
that the message is devoted almost entirely
to foreign threats and our growing concern
for our national security. The unacceptable fact
is that the war abroad and its potential conse-

our national existence. From it arise the
need that our actions and our policy should
be devoted primarily-almost exclusively-to
meeting this foreign PERIL
A dead earnest Chief Executive has laid
this situation before the American congress

Its candor and its clear definition Of this coun-

NEW YORK, Jan. ga day in
the life of a New Yorker at large:
Walked at noon and so had break
fast, and then to the office and
there found notes from F e r d e
Grofe, Ben Grauer, and W. Somer-
set Vaughan. And Vaughan had
made a most interesting mistake
in signing a copy of his book, THE
Summing Up" for me, for he had
written the wrong name OF the
flyleaf and then under it penned,
Il am so sorry to have written
the wrong name, when it is really
for George Tucker that I gladly
sign this book" Which made
it even more interesting than if
he had given it the plain signature.
So from the office to 673 Fifth
avenue, which is the headquarters
in NY for the Canadian National
Railways Co., and with my friend
L. R. Brooks to a projection room
on the second joor where we look
ed with fascination at many wild
life films, some in color, all in
sound, of fishing excursions into
the Canadian wilds, and 6 o o S e
shooting in Nova Scotia, and pack
trains crossing the Great Divide.
And seeing them I resolved to 60
to Canada some day and catch
some of those pike myself if the
chance ever comes.
Later to a gallery in E. 57th
street where a wide assortment of
watercolors and sketches by Mil
ton Canif, an ex-Dayton, Ohio, boy
and an old Columbus Dispatch col
league of mine, were on view, and
much taken with the study of a
young lad with tousled hair SLOUGH
ed in a chair. Much impressed,
too, with the throng that came to
see, and with Milton also, who
though usually the calmest of fell
lows-was plainly fused. And so
made a note to chide him about
it some day.

No Vote Is Taken
on Substitute for
AEF Ban -
Special 10 THE DETROIT TIMES


WASHINGTON, March 7.-Ad-
ministration efforts to destroy the
Ellender amendment to the lend
lease aid-to-Bri bill restricting
the use of land and naval forces
to the Western Hemisphere by
bringing in an innocuous and
meaningless compromise threw the
Senate into confusion and recrim-
ination throughout a long day Of
debate yesterday.
While the compromise amend
ment was being worked out by
the leaders. Senator Josh Lee of
Oklahoma held the floor for two
hours in a speech, which emptied
the press gallery. This led to the
charge just before adjournment
last night by Senator Bennett
Clark of Missouri that the sup
porters of the bill were themselves
engaging in a filibuster, and had
wasted an entire day.
No VOTE is TAKEN
The Senate adjourned without a
vote on the substitute for the
Ellender amendment.
As Senator Joseph O'Mahoney
OF Wyoming took the floor. he
and Senator Alva B. Adams of
Colorado between them developed
the fact that the substitute
amendment taken as a whole
means literally nothing"
There has never been q more
important piece OF legislat ton
upon this floor" said Senator
O'Mahoney. "than the measure
we are discussing. There IL not
an issue In which the people are
more entitled to q frank decla-
ration Of purpose than In tho
issue of whether or not II Is the
purpose at this time to authorize
the use Of the land and naval
forces of the United States out
side of the Western Hemisphere.
MATERIALS ONLY?
THE argument has been made
here that the bill deals with
materials and. because 10 deals
with materials and does not
purport to deal with men, there
should be no amendment or sug-
gestion with respect to the use
OF manpower.
with that statement can
not agree; because IL II clear,

provide that .he munitions Of
this country, Its battIeships and
Its guns, may be loaned, sold,
transferred, leased, or disposed

from that language, that there
