ELEVEN YEARS

1t is hard to realize that when next month rolls
around the United States will have had the services
of one President for II years So in spite Of
what some people say and think, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt must have something ION the ball
Above all partisanship all claims and counter
claims, these past II years have been tremendous
moments in history.
1t was in March. 1888 that FDR took office, and
in his inaugural address he appealed to the nations
courage to bring itself out of the slump with this
assertion:
The only thing have to fear is fear, itself ;"
His annual message year later was record
OF the New Deals maiden voyage
The outstanding highlght in January, 1885, was
social security.
In January, 1886 the emphasis of his talk to
Congress on the world situation which he hoped
could be by "twofold neutrality" first "a refusal
to permit beligerents to buy arms, ammunition or
implements of from this country; second restric-
tons upon the exports of amy and all American
products calculated to facilitate the prosecution OF
in quantities and above normal exports

One of the most important military developments
of recent months makes it possible for Allied planes
to bomb ground detectives which obscured by
heavy blankets of fog and mist. Tests carried on
Europe during the past month have proven,
beyond any doubt the efficiency of this device While
results not excellent those obtained when
the bombarder has clear view of his target. they
have been beyond original expectations and doubt
will show improvement as the program proceeds
In the Europe winter weather often
has thwarted Allied bombing operations But with
the navigation devices, bombers will be
able to bring destruction to almost any point the
continent at any time they may choose. This will
be of particular Importance in coordinated land
marine and aerial operations.
The instrument also opens other attack pos
sibilities which our military will to full ad-
vantage. Often large industrial pants-even entire
cites-haye been duplicated in dummy construction
to lead filters away from the real targets Now if the
locations of the real target known, no amount
of duplication will be of much defensive importance
The bombs will drop according to navigation pat
not according to visual impressions which airen
get from the ground.
AS was pointed in the story announcing
the discovery, the Allies receive through it, double
advantage They attack in spite of weather
conditionSand the weather conditions will pre-
vent the enemy from sending up much fighter pro-
lection or from directing effective antiaircraft fire
Thus the big planes gan take their time above
the cloud banks which, month ago, served as
almost perfect protection for the vulnerable
targets on the ground below

Then in 1887, his inaugural contained the famous
statement q see third of nation illhoused ILL
clad, il-nourished."
Again in 1888 his annual message dealt largely
with domestic problems.
But in 1889 the rumbles from Munich were heard
across the world and President spoke of methods
short of for bringing home to aggressor govern
ments the aggregate sentiments of our own people.
BY January, 1910, Europe aflame with war
and the President though still hopeful that we
could keep out, asked for increased funds for the
national defense while the soatonists and America
Firsters threw emery dust in the gears.
In January, 194l, the President gave his -Four
Freedoms speech which carried forward the implica-
lions contained in his Arsenal of Democracy address
of the month before and by that time the question
of peace or was the President stated up to the
dctators of the aggressor nations.
Another year brought war, which was only
month old to the United States when the President
declared in January 1912 for total victory" and mo
compromise
Last January he affirmed his faith that this
year of 1913 will give to the United Nations very
substantial advance along the roads that lead to
Berlin Rome and Tokyo" He correct.
Eleven years-packed with great moments in the
history of young country.

that Argentine Foreign Minister
Gilbert had gotten up early that
morning and called Armour to the
Foreign Office to tell him that Ar
gentina had finally resolved to
break relations with the Axis.
Hull put down one phone and
picked up another. 1t was his pri-
vate phone to the White House
He told the President what he had
learned from Armour. The Presi-
dent ordered an immediate switch
of policy. If Argentina was ready
to make even gesture of being
o-democratic. Roosevelt didn't
want to slap her face So he in
structed Hull to strike out all ref
erence to Argentina in the state
ment. Result was tamely worded
blast against Bolivia alone.
What undoubtedly happened was
that the banks had tipped off the
Argentines. Gables had gone out to
U. S. banks in South America Sat
urday and Sunday
So now the Argentine Govern
ment has been able to save its skin
and continue in power. Actually,
however, despite the official break
with the Axis, diplomats agree that
undercover relations with the Axis
will continue just about the same,
and that the Argentine F'ascists will
be buster than ever stirring up
antiU. S. feeling in Bolivia. Para

ARGENTINE BREAK WITH AXIS

Inside story on Argentina is that,
on Friday, January 81, the State
Department prepared blistering
statement On the double question
of Bolivia and Notwithstanding
to recognize the new government
of Bolivia, and blaming Argentina
for interfering in Bolivian affairs.
That statement was sent across
the street TO the White House,
where it lay for more than day,
awaiting the Presidents approval.
If Roosevelt approved the U. S.
planned to punish Argentina by
freezing all her credits in the
U.S.A., which would have been the
most severe action ever taken by
this country against an American
nation since the Good Neighbor
policy was inaugurated
But the. President did not finch.
He had been goaded for months by
Secretary Of the Treasury Morgen-
THAI and by public opinion. 1t
never leaked out but, once before,
the administration was ready to
crack down on Argentina, while
Secretary of State Hull was in
Moscow. But when Under Secre-
tary Ed Stettinius wired his chief
in Moscow, Hull radioed back that,
under no circumstances, must there
be any move against Argentina.
This time, however, both Hull and
Roosevelt agreed, and the White
House okayed the document Satur-
day afternoon, sent it back to the
State Department Plans were laid
for its release on Sunday. This
would have frozen all Argentine
funds at the opening of banks
Monday morning.
However, it meant that certain
State Department officials, partic-
ularly in the current information
division, would have to forego THEN
Sunday rest and put in extra time
releasing the story on Sunday. Sc
the whitening blast at Argentina
was delayed until Monday noon.
Because of the delay, it was ar
ranged for the banks unofficiaIly
TO hold up all Argentine transac-
lions early Monday morning until
they received official notice to
freeze Argentine funds Monday af-
ternoon- But during Sunday the
British, having heard that the State
Department at last was going TO be
fortnight with Argentina made
representations regarding the effect
on the British economic position in
Buenos Aires.

GRANDSON Of LAUREL
WOMAN IS KILLED IN
CAMPAIGN IN ITALY

Mrs. John Burke learned this week
that her grandson, Capt. Jack
Burke, "a, fell in action Jan. 7 in
Italy. His father is John F. Burke,
game warden at Livingston.
The Burkes are widely known
Montana old-timers. Captain Burke's
grandfather, who died in Laurel d
few years ago at an advanced age,
at one time owned the Yogo sap
phire mines in Fergus county. He
sold the property many years ago
to a British syndicate that has
since operated the mines.
Captain Burke was born on a
ranch in the Judith basin and grad
uated from Montana State College
at Bozeman. Before the campaign
in Italy he had been stationed in
Enegland.
He is survived by his widow and
by a 10 months old son he V
saw.
