Stimson conceded that the army
could repel a landing force of
$4,000 invaders. Fish asked if he
seriously thought airplanes could
fly the Atlantic and bomb the
United States.
Probably not the full width
of the Atlantic Ocean but they

Stimson, land there are many

cupied.'
Fish remarked that Stimson
apparently referred to the West
Indies.
NO" replied Stimson, "New-
fOundland Is within the range Of
airplanes reaching all New Eng
land and northern Canada Ii
in range"
Stimson added his endorsement
of the lease-lend bill to those of
Secretary of State Hull and Sec
rotary of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI.
He told the House foreign af-
fairs committee that one purpose
of the vast discretionary power
given the President in the meas

vate production by the special
skill, knowledge and equipment Of
the only existing American NUM-

The luxuries and gsyeties Of

That the Canadian expedition

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Pic-
turing the United States in a posi-
ton more grave than 1917, Secre-
tary of War Simpson today
warned the House foreign affairs
committee that defeat Of the
British navy would undoubtedly
subject this country to the dam
gers of an invasion by air.
As the third cabinet officer to
add his support to the Presidents
lease-lend bill, the 73-year-old Re-
publican declared that he believed
the President should have the
broadcast powers possible to avoid
such a contingency-even to trans
fer part of the United States navy
to a foreign power If necessary.
QUESTIONED BY FISH
Stimson's warning of the danger
of invasion by air came in response
to a steady rain of questions by
Rep. Hamilton Fish, New York,
ranking Republican on the COM
mittee, who was ridiculing Stim-
sons contention that this nation
faced the possibility of wars reach
ing these shores. Finally Stimson,
in decidedly grim tones, snapped:
II think we are I'm very great
danger of invasion by air on the
contingency that the British
navy could be destroyed or
surrender"
pointed to the posi-
bility of bases being established
close enough to the United States
to make bombing of American
cities possible.
He also limited at the possibility
of the American fleet being bottled
up in the Pacific Ocean through
destruction of the Panama Canal.
Fish first asked Stimson if any
foreign nation could land troops
on American shores.

Omits Bitterness

There is in this address much
that should be reassuring to
business. For example there is
the omission of all bitterness
and suggestion of class conflict.
No epithets are applied to BUSH
ness. the nearest being a ref
erence to "self-serving wealth"
as being something that a re-
public can not tolerate forever.
This phrase. however, is joined
with another that is more sig
nificant. He says that we can
not tolerate ''undeserved pow
erty." He docs not say any and
all poverty He does not say
that poverty. as such. is to be
wiped out by government. II is
only poverty that is "unde-
served that can, not be toll
Grated.
This is essentially important,
because it fits in with the idea
that incomes must be earned.
Il recognizes that some PetetAttts y
may be the result of deficient
productivity, and thus may be
deserved. We may therefore
hope that under the pressure of
defense realities. we shall quit
giving people relief under the
guiSe Of wages.

Speaks in All States

Another strong passage in the
address is the statement that
our democracy speaks TO us not
only in Washington, but also lin
the sovereignties of as states

this be remembered. we will
hear less about national think

future. and the fear of regimen

So. too. the Presidents refer

Of Congress. the judiciary. and

mean that we would not now
consider this democratic ar
rangement 10 be relic of

tainly. an independent judiciary
would do much TO restore bust

independent manner in which

chief hope.
