TIMES HAVE CHANGED

IF GEORGE Washington we're alive today it would
be interesting to interview him on the general ques
tion Have you changed your mind about keeping out
of "entonoIish oionces"o The interview would have
to stort by finding working definition of what con-
stitutes on "entoneIing alliance.
We are facing, holf-heortedIy, the problem OF
our postwar attitude toward the rest OF the world
Sentiment ranges from extreme isolotonism - the
viewpoint thot this nation should make itself SO self
sufficient that it can thumb its nose at oil others -
to extreme poternosm = the viewpoint thot we
should install throughout the world, and maintain by
force Of arms, what we consider to be the most de-
srobIe governmental institutions
Somewhere between these extremes we must be-
oin very soon, to formulate sound workable policy
which can hope to have the support of majority OF
Americans so that when representatives at the
peace conference shall speak, they represent the
nation and not merely their own high aspirations.
As discussion proceeds, we shall begin again to
have George Woshineton's advise against "entongl-
ina alliances" thrown at us, countered with docu-
mented protests that the first president didn't meon
at all to advocate isolotionsm
Such nation as ours could live largely to itself
when Washington was president. In many woys it
could do little eIse But now nation is sufficiently
remote to become successfully hermit
We must assume that if Washington to be
born again today possessed Of all the wisdom he &C..
quired during his lifetime but Pureed Of its ocean,
bound bioses, he would proclaim his independence
from l5OyeoroId conceptions, and approach cur
rent problems With open mind.
Perhaps we would get further if we we're to do
likewise The shape Of the postwar world is too vital
to u.s. our children and their children to be approach
ed in any portson, hidebound, provincial mood
Somehow there must be way for this great no.
tor, to lead the world toward peace without playing
Lody Bountiful, without dragging ourselves down to
the level Of the less fortunate, without playing po-
licenon to enforce international laws imposed by US
as seIf-procIomed dictotors Of world theology.

tempt to wreck the war effort.
While FBI authorities caution
that this large percentage of
false alarms should in no way
cause plant guards and others to
relax vigilance against sabo-
tours, some of the cases of
pseudo sabotage have their curl
Gus quirks.
For instance, there was the
case of the janitor in a large
eastern plat engaged in the
manufacture of highly confiden-
tual instruments. In the waste
paper basket of the drafting
room, this janitor found what
appeared to be a delayed action
1t was a bundle of matches
bound with adhesive tape. One
match, partly burned, extended
from the bundle. 1t was obvious
that the one match was intended
to ignite the other matches, thus
starting a really hot fire.
The FBI was called in and,
during the investigation, it was
discovered that the under sides
of the metal stools used by
craftsmen were blackened and
contained traces of the adhesive
tape. Finally one of the drafts
men explained and confessed.
1t was a common gag in this
drafting room to fasten these
match bundles to seats of the
stools, then ignite the lead match
and walk away. The sudden
flaring of the matches gave the
victim a realistic hot seat and
everybody laughed. This in a
room where invaluable tracings
and blueprints were kept, any OF
which would ignite readily.

The revenge cases form per-
haps the most interesting, psy-
chologically, of all the suspected
sabotage reports. Typical of
these reported to the FBI was
that of John George Majus, now
serving a three-year term in
federal penitentiary, after con-
viction in San Francisco.
Majus has been a member OF
the crew of the S. S. Calmar,
which was about to be convert
ed for use by the Army Trans
port Service. One night while
the ship lay in port, it was dis
covered that the steering rod,
connecting the steering engine
to the rudder, had been par
TALLY cut with hacksaW.
1t looked like a clear case OF
sabotage. Suspicion centered on
Majus when it was learned he
had several times threatened to
damage the ship as a result of
grievances he had against the
ships officers and owners. Ma
jus at first denied any knowledg
of the damage to the steering
rod, but later he confessed that
he had been drunk and had not
realized what he was doing.
And though he was of Ruman-
ian birth, unnaturalized, he had
not been intent on wrecking a
transport or killing American
soldiers. All he had on his mind
was getting even with the boss.
Most curious of all the FBI
sabotage Investigations is the
case of Nicholas Buenopane, an
ex-Marine of Italian descent.
Buenopane had visited the FB1
academy at Quantico, and he de.
cided he could beat the Omen.
Taking a knife, he cut several
electrical connections on a BIS
Tokyo Express.
When he was finally tracked
down and identified as the indi-
vidual who had tempered with
the plane, he gave as his rea-
son and in his signed confession
declared that his sole motive
was to see whether the FBl
could solve sabotage case. He
found out, and is now awaiting
sentence.
