Mussolini was crying for Cor

That strike was provoked by
Daladier, under pressure from
the conservatives and the en-

with labor. The forcing of that
showdown led Leon Jouhaux,
the leader of the French Fedora
ton of Trade Unions to call a
face-saving general strike, which
the government quickly and ef-

The Great Game of Politics
Close Neutrality Vote Seen os Expression
Of Dissatisfaction With Domestic Policies

the Senate Labor Committee on
more recent bills.
In addition, 1t had been found
impossible to induce the President
to deal squarely with the imitation
danger; to adopt . sensible price
control policy; to formulate 4 tax
policy; to move one step toward
retrenchment in non-defense ex-
penditures; to heed the teachings
Of experience. Every effort to move
him in any OF these directions had
been entirely futile. Coupling all this
with the failure to face firmly up
to John L. Lewis in the coal strike,
the result was . swing Of q number
of Senators, such as Tydings OF
Maryland, Adams OF Colorado and
others. to the Byrd view-to wit:
that important as was neutrality
revision, it was even more vital to
make some sort of stand that would
compel the President to straighten
out the mess into which the defense
program has gotten.
Demand to Put House In Order.
So long, 1t was contended. as Con-
gress gave him everything he asked
by overwhelming vote, there was no
chance of making Mr.. Roosevelt
listen to reason and stop playing
New Deal and labor politics. The
only chance was to make it plain
that nothing else would be given
him until he altered his course. 1t
was terrible to have to make that
stand against neutrality revision
but, II it were not made then, 1t
could not be made at all. That was
the way the argument ran and that
was the argument chiefly respons-
ible for the votes of Democrats from
the South, where war sentiment is
stronger than anywhere else.
To sum up, that vote was no in
dication of national disunity. Nor
was it indicative of dissatisfaction
with the sO-called Roosevelt foreign
policy of all-out aid to Britain and
Russia. Rather, it was an express
sion of profound dissatisfaction with
Mr.. Roosevelt's domestic and de-
fense policies-of a belief that un-
less first We put our own house in
order, we can neither move effec-
lively toward the crushing of Hitler
nor adequately defend ourselves
Whether Mr.. Roosevelt will grasp
this fact is doubtful Whether the
narrowness Of the escape will make
him see the advisability of doing the
things that can SO easily unity the
country remains to be seen. What
makes reasoning with him so hope
less is his apparently incurable dis
position to believe that whatever he
does is right and that those who
dissent are either ignorant or VIC
ious or both. In any event, the
fight to force him into the ways of
competency and to free us from the
shackles of labor domination is not
going to let up.

Ambassador Davies made his
tory when he took a tour of
Russia on his own. He thought
he saw important things. but as
a matter of fact he did not. He
certainly saw more than most Of
his colleagues in the diplomatic
corps, however, because they
never left the confines Of the
Russian capital, but in his long
trip through the Soviet republics
he saw the same things that
long have filled Soviet propa-
ganda films-factories and men
at work.
New Capital Isolated.
All this happened in the gold
en- pre-war days when COM
munication in Russia was rela-
lively easy and the Soviet was
at peace. Now the situation is
vastly changed. The Russian
capital has been moved to Kuiby-
shev and from the standpoint of
comfort. or even decent living. it
offers practically nothing. 1t is
reported-without confirmation
that Kuibyshev lately has had
some of it's streets paved. but
none of the amenities of life is
available there.
From the professional stand
point Kuibyshev offers nothing.
1t is distant from the battle front
and from Premier Stain, the
only man in the Soviet Union
who knows what Russia will do.

tov told diplomats that he really

he told the truth. Even when his
once was only . few hundred
yards from Stains he didn't
quite know what the policies OF
his country were or would be.
Now that he Is some TOO miles
away he knows still less.
War reports apparently reach
Washington before they get TO
Kuibyshev. Being far from the
front, American and other diplo-
mats and military observers have
not even . remote chance Of talk
ing with the men who come to
Moscow on missions or on leave
from the front.
Ambassador Steiuhardt himself
feels that, besides being physical
ly tired, his usefulness as United
States Ambassador to the U. S.
s. r. is finished. Not that he is
persona non grata with the So
Wet authorities. Premier Stain at
present Is so enthusiastic over
America that even Ham Fish
would be welcomed as American
Ambassador. But the conscien-
tious Steinhardt believes that
some other diplomat should be
sent to that far-away post, a man
who has had nothing to do with
the Soviet government in recent
years.
Mr.. Steinhardt has represented
the United States under all polit-
ical conditions. At times he was
ordered to speak strongly, and he
never minces words. He had to
use strong language during the
City of Flint" incident. when
the Soviet authorities permitted
the Germans to bring the cap
tured ship into the port of Muir
mansk and then sail her out
again.
Maintained Neutral Attitude.
Later Mr.. Steinhardt had to
maintain a neutral attitude in
observing political developments
until Russia was attacked by
the Nazis. During the first
weeks of the Russlan-German
war Mr Steinhardt was only
mildly liked by the Soviet au-
thorities. His reports were not
very optimistic. and when the
matter was brought to his at
tention by the Soviet Foreign
Office he replied that if the So
Wet government were TO give
him or his military aides posi-
tive information rather than
merely amplifled official COM
muniques they might be be. ter
able to form an accurate opinion
OF the Russian forces.
More recently. after it became
evident in Moscow that the

United States would provide the
fullest possible aid for Russia,
his position was greatly i'm
proved, but the Ambassador still
feels that another man with an
open mind in regard TO the
U. s. S. r. should succeed him.
President Roosevelt has not
yet had time to select q success
sor to Mr.. Steinhardt. 1t will
be a difficult task, since it is nee
essary for the United States TO
send a diplomat who has a posi-
ton In our own Government SIM

But, if Mr.. Hitler and his friends
read into that vote the meaning
that in such proportions the Ameri-

InterventioniSt Viewpoint.
Conceding that defeat of the bill
would have been a major disaster,
it is still easy to understand the
point of view Of the strong inter
ventionists who opposed 1t, chief
among them being Senator Byrd OF
Virginia. Actually, the whole revolt
stems from his statement two weeks
ago that. while he had supported to
date every item Of the foreign
policy, he did not propose to 60 one
step further toward war until Mr.
Roosevelt had done something to
end the defense strikes. adopt q de-
cent labor policy establish a head
OF his defense organization and re-
move the incompetents from the

Beyond question, Senator Byrd S

and documented in a magazine

gress had In his heart. 1t was an
other way of asserting that our

cannot be effective abroad II We are

post after he arrives In the
United States ut the end Of this

Mr.. Steinhardt = physically

Soviet Union IL, at best, no sine

hard work, much harder than In
