rable attitude most people we're in
accord and no one thought of dis
senting until Mr.. Roosevelt publicly
abandoned his own precepts and
gave unmistakable evidence Of very
active political interest indeed.
When that happened journalistic
observers were confronted with the
problem Of whether entirely to ig-
more the facts or to comment frankly
upon them. II ignored, not only
would presidential political activity
undoubtedly continue, but the small
er administration politicians, emu
lating White House example, would
cast aside pretense and 60 whole
heartedly political.
On the other hand, full and free
discussion of the renewed White
House interest In politics at least
might result in imposing a certain
restraint. which would be in the ma
tional interests. At any rate, the
entire openness Of Mr.. Roosevelt s
recent political acts is such as to
make absurd any suggestion Of i'm
propriety about commenting upon
them. In fact, the lack Of conceal
ment seems to compel comment. lest
the idea become generally accepted
that no matter what this President
may say, he can do as he pleases
with complete immunity from crit
icism, which Is certainly not q

Farley Called.
The most fragrant exhibition, of
course, was his appointment of
Frank Hague's candidate to the Fed
eral bench, an act so clearly political
that it shocked some of Mr.. Roose-
velt's own friends, such as Senator
Norris Of Nebraska, and for which
no one has offered a defense. But
the most revealing instance was the
recent White House conference be-
tween the President and James A.
Farley over the New York political
situation. 1t was the President who
asked Mr.. Farley to come, not Mr..
Farley who sought an audience. He
had not seen the President for more
than year.
Mr.. Farley, who once ran admins
tration politics but lost favor because
he thought Mr.. Roosevelt ought not
to seek a third term, is chairman of
to New York State Committee. . He
is supporting Attorney General Ben
nett for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton to be made in August. Evidence
was given that Mr.. Roosevelt pre-
ferred Owen D. Young or 1t. Gov
Poletti or some one else.
However, Mr.. Benefits candidacy
grew steadily stronger and it be-
came fairly clear couple of weeks
ago that he probably would be nomi-
mated. Then Mr. Roosevelt sent fol

Expedition Against AIeutions Seen as Prelude
To jap Attack on Siberia This Summer

nank would be removed, and
British and American forces
would be tied up In Europe. So
Russia is the chief issue for both
the United Nations and the
Axis.
The risk that Japan would run
in attacking Siberia before China
is defeated and while the Ameri-
can Navy and Air Force are de-
monstrating increasing strength,
is immense, but Japan, like Ger
many a year ago, may figure
there is no better choice.
The United Nations have been
playing for time; the Axis
against it. Germany has had to
plan one campaign Immediately
after another in order to con-
quer pivotal points before her
dilatory opponents could mo-
bilize their full strength. Japan
is in the same situation. after
accomplishing the conquest of
the South Pacific in the short
est possible time, she cannot AZ
ford to wait for a counter-attack.
She must make a choice: Austria
liza, India or Siberia?
Major Risk Probable.
The conquest of Australia Is q
naval problem, and the battles
of Coral Sea and Midway do not
suggest a favorable outcome. In
dia would stretch Japanese CONF
munications over the whole Ash
attic continent and would not re-
move the threat from the north.
So it is logical to think that ia
pan should take major risk to
bring about a defeat which might
determine the outcome Of the
whole war.
Rumors that have come
through regularly from Stock
holm and Switzerland and have
been circulating for months have
suggested the possibility OF a
German armistice with Russia,
and a comment of the Wilhelm
strasse on the Russian-British
treaty was that the question OF
separate peace would be settled
by the outcome Of the Russian
campaign. not by any treaties.
calling attention to the scrap
ping of the Anglo-French treatv
in the face of the defeat Of
France.
But the 20-year mutual as
sistance pact just concluded be-
tween Britain and Russia, plus
the agreement between Russia
and the United States, announce
postwar collaboration. The Axis
must therefore abandon its per-
ennial hope OF achieving an easy
victory by division Of the main
powers. Japan must be asking
herself whether there is any hope
of a future antagonism between
Russia and the English-speaking
powers in the Pacific and must
conclude it is highly unlikely.
Axis Chooses Summer.
These considerations, then,
would lead both ends of the Axis
to decide together to try to strike
out one of the three main op-
ponents, and do it this summer,
for the winter is as unfavorable
a time for a Japanese attack on
Siberia & for German ofien-
sive on western Russia.
The apprehension that such
may be Axis plans would also ac-
count for the quick agreement
reached in Washington on the
matter of the Baltic states
whatever that agreement may
have been. For long-lasting al
liances are of infinitely more i'm
portance to Russian security than
the disposition Of a few square
miles of soil.
Major strategy can only be met
by major counter strategy. Our
only chance in this war is the
solidarity of our coalition-and
that fact Is true for every one Of
the United Nations, particularly
the big three.

Alaska salmon fisherIes-both off shore and inshoTe.
 The fact that offshore fishing off the coasts of Washington, Oregon and California is not now regulat- ed has resulted in abuses which tend to deplete the salmon runs, it was explained in the Senate.
 The Associated f.ress reported that the measure, sponsored by Sen ator McNary, Republican of Oregon, was accompanied by a companion bill carrying an appropriation of S100,000 to complete a study of shrimp, crab, lobster, oyster and commercial clam fisheries.
 The bills both were passed by the Senate and sent to the House.
 The offshore regulation bill pro- vides for a complete study of the causes of depletion and a possible plan for conservation. The bill would prohibit oHfshore salmon fishing south of latitude 50 degrees north except under licenses from the Fish and Wildlife Service. The bill carries. heavy. penalties for vio- lations. The measure. it was said should enable the Federal govern ment to coordinate offshore fishing and inshore fishing which now i: controlled by the three states.

PRICE CONTROL

In most of the wartime controls
the heaviest loser has been the
consumer. In the case of the pres
ent retail price control the con-
sumer is to pay prices that existed
during March, 1912, which should be
to the advantage of the public. Just
how the 100000 storekeepers will
fit into the arrangement is not GER
tain, but the chances are that local
merchants will have plenty of head
aches. and also heavy losses in
business.
However, there isn't near as
much opposition to rationing, reg
ulating and control as Washington
officials expected. Our correspon-
dent in the National Capital reports

gHment among the master minds"
and leading politicians that the

FIRE FIGHTS AGAINST US

The National Fire Protection AS
sociation recently published a book
let which is a tragic commentary
on human carelessness. That book
let is almost entirely given to vivid
photographs of fires which have
caused major damage to war indus
tries.
Those fires resulted in money
losses running into the tens of
millions. Far worse, they deprived
our military forces of vitality need
ed equipment and supplies. And in
practically every instance, human
failure was the cause of the con-
iiagrations.
One fire got out of hand because
a watchman shut off automatic
sprinkler valves. One was the re-
suit of disregard for fire protection
in the design of pier. In an
other case, the water was made
quate. Another fire started in a
sub-standard tank truck In an
other instance, there was gross
failure to observe adequate fire
safeguards during construction op-
erations. One million-dollar fire
started in an old warehouse lack
ing automatic fire protection-and
the owner had had eight previous
fires.
So it goes down a long list. These
fires weren't "acts of God" They
were the results of someone's fail
ure, someone's ignorance, some
ones carelessness.
How can we prevent such terrible
losses? The answer is simple. We
can prevent them by passing and
strictly enforcing local building
codes which will make poor con-
struction and bad design impos-
sible. We can prevent them by
carrying on regular inspections of
homes, businesses and public prop
erty. We can prevent them if ev-
cry citizen will do his bit by MAX
ing sure that his own home and his
own place of business are as safe
as possible.
The home owner who allows pa
pers and old clothes and odds and
ends to accumulate in attic or base
ment, and 9hezfseteEy -manag getewtU,
fails to install adequate fire pro-
tective equipment in his plant are
equally guilty. Both are paving the
way for conflagrations. Both are
endangering lives. money and pro-
duction. When we prevent fire,
we help fight the Axis. For fires
serve the Axis ends.
