powers, with economic arrange
ments to follow.
Both events are great steps in
the winning Of the war, and
arouse tremendous hopes for the
future, after the war is over. For
we see through such events the
gradual emergency of a pattern
for a new world, that degrades
Hitler's New Order" and Japan's
"Co-prosperity sphere" to the
gutter where they belong.
Characteristic Of both Is the
establishment Of the principle Of
equality Of right, as between
strong and weak nations; and
characteristic of both is unity
that is not coerced but arrived at
mutually, through discussion.
Inasmuch as the chief aim Of
Axis political warfare has been
to drive wedges between prospec-
tive victims, playing on all the
antagonisms that normally exist
between states, in order to sepa-
rate them and progressively swal-
low one after the other, these two
events, representing the solidarity
of the entire non-Axis world, are
a battle Of annihilation in the
field Of political warfare-where
we have been weakest from the
beginning.
Power of U. s. Shown.
Through them both we see the
immense political power of the
United States; for six weeks after
the entrance of this Nation into
the war, there exist only six
small neutral powers, Switzer-
land, Sweden, Ireland, Turkey,
Spain and Portugal, and the
effect of the Western Hemisphere
agreement on the two latter will
be prodigious.
Let us consider how the United
States power was used. We are
overwhelmingly the most power
full Nation in this hemisphere.
Had we followed the Hitler
example-or the Japanese-what
would we have done? Beginning
with Central America, we would
have picked off one neighboring
state after another, playing up in
the process all the existing an
tagonisms between the states
between Peru and Ecuador,
Bolivia and Paraguay, and Great
ing dissensions where none ex-
listed, promising our aid to the
one against the other.
Economically, we would have
planned the complete de-indus-
triahzation Of Latin America,
either taking over all their indus
tries for ourselves, or by running
their currencies, or by actually
incorporating them in our
"Lebensraum"
Politically, we would have tried
to divide them internally, using

but because Of the lack Of proper
equipment 1t Is doubtful whether
more than half that number has
been called to the colors. OF the
trained fighters-who are among
the best in the world-the great
majority were sent to Egypt,
Crete, the Near East and the
Malay Peninsula. They suffered
heavy casualties, but because the
danger to their own country
seemed so remote the Australians
continued to send their best
equipped forces to help Britain.
Warned Of Danger.
Some far-signted public men
In Australia warned Of the po-
tential danger from Japan. How
ever, their warnings won for
them only the adjectives "unco-
operative" and "defeatist." They
were told that In the event Of q
threat from the Nipponese Aus
tralia could depend on the entire
military, naval and air power OF
the United States.
Toxic, Australia believed, was
closer to the American naval and
air bases than Canberra was to
Japanese bases. 1t was incon-
ceivable that japanese trans
ports and planes should be able
to reach the outposts Of the most
important British dominion with
impunity. And Singapore was
only $500 miles from Port Dar-
win.
Now Japanese plane carriers
and transports appear to be
moving freely in waters neigh
boring Australia and the people
Of the island are frightened.
The Australians are not dis
heartened, for they feel certain
that the United States will come
to their rescue If the Japs do
establish a beachhead on the
mainland. But they are alarmed
and want to see this assistance
materialize at once. They be-

strategy with President Roose-
welt, the Australian Premier sent
desperate appeals not to over
look the possibility Of a Japanese
invasion Of that important unit
Of the British Empire, more i'm
portant in the minds Of the Aus
tralians and some other English
speaking people than the United
Kingdom itself.
The strong messages from
Premier Curtin led to some re-
vision Of the plan to mark time"
In the Pacific while the main
effort Of the United Nations was
directed against Hitler in Europe.
1t seems likely now. in the light
of most recent developments, that
sufficient American and British
forces may be ordered to the
Pacific battle scene to attempt to
stop the enemy In his tracks.
Meanwhile, the japanese are
tempting fate. The Australian
government expects an enemy
landing in New Guinea and in
the Australian-m inundated islands
east Of that possession. Further
more, according to reports from
the Australian capital, the pos
sibility that the Japs will at
tempt to establish q foothold on
the mainland OF Australia is
not being discounted.
Major Factors Involved.
The future direction of Jap
anese moves depends on whether
and how quickly they can occupy
Singapore, whether they can take
the Netherlands Indies and how
large . naval and air force the
the United States and Great
Britain send to the South Pacific
to knife at the already thinned
lines Of the enemy's communi-
cations.
Until recently the Australians
relied almost exclusively on war
material manufactured in the in
dustrial nations - the United
States and Great Britain. But
because of the Axis peril to the
British Isles, the Near East and
the Soviet Union, Australia has
had to take third place in allot-

cern, which Is why those who OBJ
serve him daily are distressed to
have him take on what seem to be
totally unnecessary burdens and
weigh himself down with details
that could be handled by others or
dispensed with altogether. For ex-
ample, on January he went to
Congress and personally delivered
his important message on the state
Of the Union. That easily might
have been regarded as Q days work
for any man. But not for Mr.. Roose-
velt. He returned to the White
House and, after lunch, spent two
hours. as has been his annual Gus
tom, In explaining the details Of his
1912 budget to some 80-odd news
papermen. One writer, admiringly
commenting upon this, said that the
President patiently answered all
questions, many Of which were repe-
titious and unimportant. Instead of
admiring the President for spend
ing two hours at such q time doing
such a thing. 1t would seem more
sensible to be distressed that he
should thus waste his time and
strength.
That In SO great . crisis. with so
much depending upon him and with
so many vital questions pending and
on day when already he had done
enough to tax any ordinary man,
the President should spend two
hours explaining the details of his
budget and answering repetitious
questions Just does not make sense.
His friends, his physicians, his fam
lily, the newspapermen or somebody
ought somehow to find . way to
stop him from doing this kind of
thing.
Others Could Take Task.
In the name Of common sense, II
the newspapermen could not under
stand the budget by themselves and
had to have it explained to them,
why could not the budget director
do the explaining? That Is his Job:
and If he can't explain it.. he ought
not to be budget director. Or, if the
budget director were sick, there was
the Secretary Of the Treasury, Mr..
Morgenthau. Or an Assistant SEQ
retary. Or the White House eco
nomist. Laughhn Currie. Or any
of a dozen other men-any one ex-
cept the President.
The President has no right to do
that kind Of thing. He cannot do
that kind Of thing and give the best
that is In him to the great problems
OF war strategy and policy which
press upon him. 1t isn't q thing to
applaud; 1t Is . thing to deplore.
In the national interests, some way
should be found to make him avoid
cluttering his mind up with un-
necessary details and sapping his
vitality with valueless conferences
and Improbable audiences. This
man Is the leader Of the Nation in
q great war. He terribly needs time
for rest, and reflection. 1t is abb
surd-and worse than absurd-for
him to be explaining details to any
body about anything.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

A few months ago any sug-
gestion that the Australians
would have to grid themselves to
fight the japanese would have
seemed as fantastic as invasion
Of the United States by the
Martans. Today the threat is
real and the Australian govern
ment is gravely concerned lest
some section Of the continent
become the base Of future oper-
ations Of the little men from
Nippon.
Prime Minister John Curtin
has sounded the alarm ever
since he came to ONCE. While
Prime Minister Churchill was In

there and a few flights of planes
are not quite the answer to the
japanese. They want to see a
force concentrated in and near
Australia which will be able to
smash any further Japanese
attempt to conquer them.
The Japanese may make only
a strong feint against Australia
in order to prevent important re-
Inducements from being sent to
Singapore. But the Australians
don't want to take chances. They
believe the power of the United
States and Britain ought to be
fully applied to defend all parts
of the Western Pacific, which has

Of the western democracies.

chaotic conditions in Washington,
give great aid and comfort to the
enemy. II for no other reason than
this, the recent reorganization Of the
war-production machinery is Of very
great advantage to the Nation. By
the. delegation Of such complete
power to Donald Nelson, Mr.. Roose-
velt at least has made it possible for
the organization to function without
stalling, even momentarily, should
sickness overtake him.
The more the facts are considered
the greater is the belief that, after
20 months Of stubborn resistance to
pressure, the President finally has
brought himself to take the clearly
logical and essential step. His re-
fusal for so long to follow advice in
this vital matter has made us pay a
terrible price. It is not possible to
estimate the full cost In lost pro-
duction and time. But, in addition,
the President had no right to subject
the Nation to such q risk Had, in
the last 20 months, anything hap
pened to him, as may happen to any
man, our whole war effort would
have begged down. Everything re-
volved around himself. In his hands
were all the strings. In him rested
all the power. None had been
delegated.
Absence Meant Confusion.
No important step could be taken
except as he directed. No verdict
could be rendered not authorized by
him. II he were away for even a few
days things piled up in indescribable
confusion until his return. Instead Of
one boss there were q lot Of little
bosses, all pulling in different direc-
tons and with . complete lack Of
harmony. 1t was bad enough when
the President was on the job: it was
dreadful when he was not. At least,
that danger is past. Mr.. Nelson may
or may not turn out to be another
Baruch," but, in any event, we will
not be thrown wholly out Of our
stride should the President be COM
PEELED to take q vacation.
Even with the new setup he has
more to do than any man can do
without great strain. His continued
good health Is OF paramount con-
