and warplanes will attack American
warships should they enter the war
zone, and nobody doubts that Ameri-
can warships and planes will retail
ate in kind. That kind of limited
| fighting" is not to be avoided, If we
go ahead with conveys. But whether
Hitler will get mad enough under
those circumstances to declare war on
the United States and thus invite an
about war effort is seriously doubted.
1t is pointed out that he is crazy, all
right, but hardly that crazy. A great
deal probably will depend on what
the Japs will do. The question is
what the United States will do in the
event of the loss of a ship and men.
All signs point that this country
will adopt growingly holder policy
towards the Axis-a realistic policy
based on the knowledge of what is in
store for us in the event that Hitler
is able to shape the greater part of
the world in which we live. Eyes are
being kept on Dakar, French West
African seaport, for a nazi move in
that direction. If it should appear
that the nazis are headed for Dakar,
it would not surprise a lot of people
here it Uncle Sam seizes that seaport
to beat Hitler to it. The present pol

prospect that Stain may ever do any
thing to cross up Hitler The virtual
recognition by the Kremlin of the nazi
conquests of Norway, Belgium, and
Yugoslavia indicate that collaboration
between the nazis and the Soviet may

Sock the Poor
Livingston w. Houston, chairman
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers' committee on government
finances, presented the fat boys views
on taxes before the House Ways and
Means Committee last week, and it
ran true to form. They want a gen
eral sales tax which would place the
chief burden of defense costs on the
frail shoulders of the poor, and they
want the government to ease up
bit on excess profits so that the big
fellow can keep more of the defense
profits flowing into his Golfers than
is the case under the present law.
Ask for Probe
Senator Gillette, Ia, and Rep. Cot |

gress concurrent resolutions asking |
Tor creation of a special joint congress
sional committee to conduct an in
resignation with respect to the extent
% which, the sources from which, and

called Axis powers are obtaining, or

Current Capital Comment
Before the war, there was a pro-
ession that called themselves experts
IN international law. The debates in
congress show that Hitler has pretty
veil wiped out that profession.
