SECRET WEAPON

Leader of the Senate filbuster against the anti poll tax bill, Senator Bilbo of Mississippi boased that he had secret weapon"
 It is, he said hot air
 There is something shocking that in wartime a little group wiful Senators from the eight States which still have poll taxes should have the power to parayze the Senate of the United States.
 Under the rules, so long as those Senators talk, the Senate function, except to listen to such men as Bilbo Tom Connally and others read the Senate Journal looking for misplaced commas-and otherwise wasting the time of the Senate.
 Bad as is the spectacle of these Senators per hitting rampant prejudice to hold this nation beore the world in such shabby light-even is the realization that the Senate of the United States permits such negation of democracy in this day and age
 Bilbo may boast that his secret weapon" is hot air
 But we can hear even now Radio Berlin mock ing the worlds greatest democracy merely by telling the truth that the Senate of the United States per mits the Senators of eight out of the AS States to render our democratic processes impotent-by hot air
 We can hear Radio Berlin goating that the Senate of the United States cannot guarantee Ne groes the right to vote in FEDERAL elections.
 Yes. Bilbo's secret weapon" will operate quite as well for Hitler for himself.
 That's something which the whole Senate should reaize-and act upon--by prohibiting filibusters in the future.
 The anti-pol tax bill passed the House of Rep resentatives by overwhelming vote, 252 to 84. It would pass the Senate by big margin, if Senators

HITLER INFLUENCES ARGENTINA

If Hitler moves in on Spain, he may accomplish at one blow what we have failed to do in nine months of diplomatic discussions with Argentina. He may force that South American country into a break with the Axis.
 It was Argentina which princi- pally gummed the works at Rio de Janeiro last January, when astute Sumner Welles, Under Secretary of State. was trying to line up all 2l American countries behind a resolution to break relations.
 There Argentina Foreign Minis ter Ruiz Guinazu, insisted on neutrality" and Argentina re- mained on the fence.
 Ruiz Guinazu is a great admirer of Spain, is proud of his own Spanish blood Furthermore, he points to Spains tradition of neu- trality" as the best guarantee ot peace
 So if the Germans now attack Spain, the Argentine Government would almost be forced to come to the defense of the mother coun- try by breaking relations with the attacking country.
 NOTE: Resignation of Argentine War Minister Tonazzi, a friend oi the United States, is regarded here as the first important rift in the Castillo Government.
