Week In Review
ANTI-SEMITISM IN THE
SENATE
By MILTON sRoWN. LIZA.

A new and dangerous note has
cen introduced into the cOntrO-
ersy over the lend-lease bill. For
he first time responsible leaders
4 the opposition have dragged in
prms like international bankers"
nd emphasis on Jewish names
maneuver reminiscent Of Ger
nan propaganda and Father
OughIin's speeches.
Less than a month ago, Senator
burton K. Wheeler, chief Of the
pposition in the Senate to the
Iid-to-Britain bill, gave a firm
ebuke to followers Of Joe Nc
Williams when they attempted to
invade an anti-lend-lease rally in
lew York and convert it into an
nti-J Jewish demonstration. II alb
or intolerance, whether it be
redicated upon color, race or re-
gion," the Montana senator de-
Jared.
Yet, last week, Senator Wheeler
bid in a nationwide radio broad
ast, ''NOw we find these same
hternatiOnal bankers with their
Fiends, the royal refugees, and
18th the SESSIONS of the Orient
nd with the ROthschilds and the
Earburgs Of Europe in another
leme song -. Our investments
India, Africa and Europe must
saved. Save democracy"
On the Senate floor, Senator
ufus Holman next Day went so
pr as to assert: II have always
eplored Hit1er's ambitions as a
pnqueror. But he broke the con-
fol Of these internationalists over
be common people of Germany.
would be a good idea if the
pntrol of the International bank
IS over the common people of
ngland was broken, and good if
was broken over the wages and
wings Of the common people of
he United States"
If these two speeches marked
turning point in the present con-
'Oversy and the beginning Of an
fort to inject anti-Semitism in
the question, then the cOnse-
fences may be mOmentOus.
The danger involved in su C h
Peeches was Immediately recog-
zed by the American press. The
ew York newspaper PM featured
comparison of the Wheeler and
Gilman quotations with similar
terances by German Nazi lead
$. PM headlined the story: Foes
Aid to Britain Parrot Hitler's
nti-Jewish Talk"
The New York Post warned
ltOrially: "That beginning was
tne approved pattern set by Fa-
er COughlin as he worked up to
OutspOken anti-Semitism." The
ewark Star-Ledger said: ''They
wheeler and HOlman) have Civ
voice to Nazi propaganda slO-
ms and have sought to infIame
American passions. The Phila-
pma Record spoke of "Hitler's
uOubted gratitude for Wheel
s help"
further confirmation of 'Hit-
5 gratitude" was given by the
tlcial German radio, which ap-
OVlngly quoted Senator Hol-
ans speech in a broadcast to

BORROWED TOOLS

We fought in war which this
nation entered with very made
iquate preparation. While our
arms were victorious. those VIC
tories were often won at too great
la cost. and they were often won
with borrowed guns. borrowed
tanks and borrowed airplaneS. If
our country is compelled to fight
in the present world conflict. there
will be no one from whom we
could borrow anything of the sort.
We are already the greatest
lenders of war material in the
world. We must be able TO supply
our own forces as well as those of
our friends who are resisting ag-
gresSion. We Of the American
Legion feel that we have a right
to say clearly to our fellow
citizens:
make the defense OF this
country complete and secure.
Take no chance OF sending men
to war unframed or unequipped,
or half trained or half equipped.
There Is no economy i'm that way
of doing. II Is the most costly
way. the way Of the most deadly
cost"

MILWAUKEE, Sept l9.-The
world is in turmoil. We are for
tunate 10 be a free and happy
land. one step removed from the
center of world chaos. We do not
know when that one step may
cease to separate us from the con-
flict.
For 20 years, the American
Legion has pleaded for a stronger
defense policy Today the nation
has such a policy. This convention
took a plain, firm, decisive posi-
ton on the detectives of this
defense. 1t said in a resolution:
"Our present national oblec-
tive Is the defeat OF Hitler and
what he stands for, and all
diverting controversies should be
subOrdinated to the main Objec-
tives. We appeal for unity on
this national objective"
EASY TO UNDERSTAND
Nobody can misunderstood that
resolution, unanimously adopted
by this convention. The conven-
ton further supplemented its
thought on defense and the ma
tional policy by a resolution which
said. IF fighting is necessary to
defend the United States, we in
siSt upon being prepared 10 do the
fighting outside of the United
StatesP
That again is a perfectly clear
and plain statement. The conven-
ton also outlined its belief that
the fortification of naval bases on
key islands in both the Atlantic
and Pacific oceans is wise and
necessary step in defense. and
calculated to help accomplish the
purpose of keeping an armed ag-
gressor away from American soil.
Another important resolution
adopted by the convention as part
of our national defense. program is
one which urges the removal of
any geographic limit on the move
ment of troops. That resolution
of course fits right in with the
ones l have just mentioned. all Of
which are in line with the policy
of starting to defend America be-
fore any enemy can put his foot
on the soil of our country.

Two District Sailors
Annex Top Honors
In Frosfbite Series
Runyon's Mureoes and
Luwson's PotIotch Are
One, Two on Potomac
By Staff Correspondent of The Star

BY e Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, Jan. 13-
With an entry from far distant
as Baltimore, eight little penguin
dinghies yesterday afternoon sailed
in winds as tickle as summer zephyrs
for the regular semi monthly FROST
bite series of the Old Dominion Boat
Club here.
Two Washington sailors, staging
their own little duel, came out on
top at the end of three races sailed
over a triangular course on the
placid Potomac. Winner of the
series was Charles Runyon's Muir
gaes, with Walter Lawson's Pot
latch second.
Coming up from nowhere in the
light and flukey going, Lawson was
off to a bad start in the opener,
but continued to sail through the
pack for a first place Runyon, with
his wife as crew, was second, and
Ralph Youngs in the Chico was
third. Bill Heintz, president of the
Penguin Glass Association, sailed
his Judy into fourth position.
With only Judy and Chico chang
ing places, the next race saw Pot
latch in first and Murgaes second
again. It still was LawSon'S series,
despite a battling southerly breeze
that strung the large fleet all over
the river.
Lawson, for the closing event, got
another bad start, and this time
the breaks were against him. While
he finished only fifth, the Runyons
came across the winner. Next in
order were the Corinthian Yacht
Club Sea Scouts, sailing POGO Prom
to; Judy, then Chico. The final
tally gave Heintz a third and Youngs
a fourth.
To the winner, Skipper Runyon,
went a pair of earmuffs, which
might yet come in handy when the
frostbiters sail their next series,
January 26.
The Baltimore penguin was sailed
by DR.. and Mrs. Charles E. Balfour,
who only recently entered the fast
growing class.
