Our JunqIe Diplomacy

By William Franklin Sands,
in collaboration 0ith Joseph
M. Lalley. University OF North
Carolina Press: S2.50J
Reviewed by Joseph H. Baird.
Mr.. Sands interesting volume Is,
in sense, two books in one. First.
it is tale of high adventure which
is as lively as a well-written novel.
Secondly, it is critique of Amer
ican foreign policy, or as the author
would contend, lack OF policy.
In 1904, during the building Of
the Panama Canal, Mr.. Sands was
selected by the then Secretary of
War, William Howard Taft, to go
to Panama on an extremely delicats
and confidential diplomatic mission.
Mr. Taft wanted to unite in the
person of one man, Charles E.
Magoon, the Offices of Governor Of
the Canal Zone and the American
Minister, and to do this without
creating the impression in Panama
that this country was seeking to
enlarge its power there.
How this mission was carried out,
despite the chaotic political situa-
ton then obtaining in Panama, con-
stitutes one of the most interesting
stories in the book. This task per-
formed, Mr.. Sands then was sent
on missions to various other Central
American countries.
AS a result of his first-hand par
tlcipation in American diplomacy
in Latin America during the closing
years of the United States i'm
perialistic phase, Mr.. Sands reaches
the conclusion that our policies then
provided pattern for the initiative
Japanese in their expansion In
China and throughout the Pacific.
Every turning in the path Of
Japanese expansion" the author
maintains, has been marked by an
American precedent. To Korea the
path was marked Hawaii, to Man
churia it was marked Panama"
Yet Mr.. Sands points to what
ne considers vital difference in
the Apansionist policies of the two
nations. American diplomacy. hs
says, became lost Sin a jungle of
its own creation" Japan, on the
other hand, has followed a WELL
defined path"
Whether or not one agrees with
Mr.. Sands conclusions he will find
our jungle Diplomacy" an inter-
estlng and a stimulating book.

Oklahoma Still Doubtful
BU S, RAYMOND Brook.

AUSTIN, Tex, Oct. 28.-EffortS
of the third-party Texas Regulars
and the Republican organization to
form a coalition were abandoned
this week after sharp recrimination
in which the anti-Democratic Reg
ularS charged Republican National
Committeeman r. B. Creager with
responsibility for losing Texas to
the Democrats by failing to swing
the Republican voters into third
party support.
The Republican campaign was in
tensified in the State with a speech
by Gov. John w. Bricker in North
Texas, and it appeared the Repub-
licans will gain considerable
number of the disaffected Demo-
cratic votes.
Anti-Roosevelt Senator O'Daniel,
Democrat, of Texas returned to
Texas with his hillbilly band and
started on series of more than
20 speeches, with audiences of one
fourth the size he had in his last
campaign for the Senate.
Senator O'Daniel is speaking on
behalf of the Texas Regulars ticket
of electors made up of elector
nominees thrown off the Democratic
ballot by the September party con-
vention and a Supreme Court de-
ciSion.
Reports from Jackson and Baton
Rouge indicate disaffected Demo-
Gratis in Mississippi and Louisiana
will vote directly for Dewey electors
and that the Democratic electors
will not withhold their votes from
the national party nominees. Thus,
10 days before the election, Mr..
Roosevelt and Mr.. Truman definitely
are assured the AZ electoral votes
Of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Oklahoma Outcome in Doubt.
The outcome in Oklahoma remains
completely uncertain. Normal DEM
ocratic and Republican votes are
evenly divided in Oklahoma and
there is large segment of inde-
pendent voters, including many
farmers. which holds the balance of
power this year.
1t is apparent at this stage that
the Republican campaign has made
gains among the farmers of this
independent group and has drawn
some normally Democratic farm
voters across the fence. Whether
increased labor and city votes for
the Democratic ticket will offset
these gains remains to be seen.
Democratic comment has had de-
featist overtones in Oklahoma,
though the personal popularity and
campaigning ability of Gov. Robert
S. Kerr are being employed to the
utmost to hold Democrats in line
and muster fair share of the un-
predictable Independents.
1t seemed apparent that a Re-
publican thrust late in the week
the attack on the Democratic "One
Thousand Club'-was having effect.
Stevenson Standing Off.
Gov. Coke Stevenson of Texas.
nominated in the first primary with
"a per cent of the Texas vote over
half a dozen opponents, has re-
Trained from any part in the ma
tional campaign in Texas or else
where.
An extremely heavy return of alb
sentee ballots, mainly from service
men, Is taken as an indication that
the Texas general election vote will
run significantly above the record
low Democratic primary total of
650000 in July and may reach the
million figure.
Most estimates place the COM
bined Republican and Texas regular
vote at around 250,0O0, and thus in
dicate the Democratic vote probably
will exceed the opposition total by

conclusion.
Progress in Holland.
Germany also found itself under
increasing pressure as from at least
three directions the war moved into
or toward the homeland.
British troops, seeking to entrap
the German 18th Army now occu-
pying the Lowlands in Southwest
Holland, smashed through the enemy
line at Tilburg and are now rush
ing for the Mas River. Aiding in
the pursuit of the fleeing Nazis are
American and Canadian reinforce
ments. Elsewhere on the long west
ern front there was not much
change in position. 1t Is estimated
that the Nazis have only about one
third as many troops on this front
as during the fateful days of 1918.
One new unit identified among
the Nazis is the 370th Cossack Divi-
sion, composed of about 40 per cent
Germans and the rest Russian exiles
In Germany who are fighting Amer
lean units in the Vosges Mountains.
On the East Prussian front, the
Red Armies have moved consider
ably ahead with civilian East Prus-
slams fleeing before the advancing
Soviet forces. The exact front is not
determinable but the Reds are at
least 20 miles inside German ter
ritory at some points. The deepest
penetration is about 10 miles from
Koenigsberg, the capital and an i'm
portant naval base. Other Russian
forces moving across North Finland

feet, "How many workers do
you need in one, two, three
monthS?"
Figures Dropped
Now McNutt has dropped
these figures, and in the past
few days has disclaimed any
shortages in two important "crit-
ical' neutrality-suspicious. OF
ammunition, and Of tanks.
Recent years, McNutt said
Oct. 25, show that 'in the past,
manpower has not been a factor
hampering tank production.
The bottleneck has been concen-
tration of the tank industry in
areas of current and anticipated
labor shortages.
"Manpower has been of only
secondary importance" in the
scarcities o, heavy artillery am
munition, which the manpower
head says is typical of this field.
In both programs, McNutt
says, problems may arise in the
future because production is
currently being expanded.

his Pittsburgh speech to win the
votes of the nations 1,240, 900

A good illustration of the feel
ing which the plant manage
ment has for the servicemen was
provided last Saturday when
lot of our boys were sent home
for taking up collection for our
boys in the armed forces.
Ollie Pecord did nice job of
telling off the management Last
Sunday morning over the Local
II radio program on station
WTOL. The only trouble wss
that Ollie wasn't as emphatic as
he might have been. We know
he can be nastier than that.
At the time this i; written,
lot of the boys who were sent
home are still away from their
jobs. They feel that they can
not agree with the position
taken by the plant management
and believe that the company is
hiding behind a technicality in
order to save face.
1t seems to me that this whole
thing could very easily be set
tied if the company management
would just sit down and talk
common sense with the work
ers. This is another illustration
of management acting like a
bunch of kids instead of adults.
The whole thing proves that

said, "there is nothing as I'M

WASHINGTON, October 81
(LPA) = The largest S i n G e
group of American soldiers left
school between the fifth and
eighth grades, a government re-
port reveals. More than one
quarter of the men were in this
group. This is still a. better
record than the last war, when
more than half of the doughboys
had left school between the
fifth and eighth grades.
