Don't Be Frightened.
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Any honest appraisal of the prospects for future war is bound to be depressing That of Hanson w Baldwin military editor of the New York Times, given before the Business and Professional Mems Group at the University of Cincinnati vas no excep- ton. MT Baldwin noted, of course, the enormous destructiveness of the atomic bomb, but placed his enhasis chiefly Cn the extreme ranges of bombcar- riers whether aircraft or guided missiles.
 He foresees the use of rockets with atomic charges bursting at ranges of 500 miles more in short period of time He looks for orthodox missiles, robot planes of various sorts to be made for trans oceanic ranges The possibility of fast submarines capable of delivering atomic bombs from OH our coasts he noted as far from fantastic.
 The most distressing of his glimpses into the future was the factual observation that an atomic bomb because it is so small be brought into any city in two sucase assembled in any cellar and detonated by time fuse It would not have to be introduced into heavily guarded plant. It would need merely to be deposited within mile of the plant
 The atomic bomb in other words increases enorrn- ousy the possibilities of war by sabotage-of war ln which cities far any fighting front would be the victims.
 These and other technological factors which have worked so vast revolution in warfare have peculiar significance for the United States We have enjoyed munity is gone never to be recovered. We have now the same incentive that other nations have had to forestall the outbreak of another major war.
 It is considered bad manners to be frightened by the terrors of which may be 10 or 20 or 30 years away But we probably would have today wiser and more effective foreign policy, and would be doing
 more to build stable peace if more of us were more frightened-as ought to be in the light of a few simple facts

HEART AND HOME
 This is favorable day for in augurating new systems of account ing in the home. Families with in cl .ased incomes should be able to point to a proportionate increase in savings, insurance against the day when incomes will diminish.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS
 Radically new developments in the motion picture industry within the next two or three years is fore seen. Hollywood moguls know that the day of a perfected television is not far distant and inevitably will bring with it a sharp decline in movie theatre attendance. Color movies soon will be as common as the black k-and- white film is today.
 NATIONAL ISSUES
 Investigation of employment agency practices with a view to sav- ing job-huntsrs payment of exorbi- tant fees is foretold. USES, which charges no fees, will grow isl pop rlarity with employers when the benefits of this service are ade- quately explained through a pub licity campaign.

 The boosting of private's wage from 50 to GO dollars a month cannot be relied upon, however, to swell the flow of volunteers to recruiting stations.

STATE DEPARTMENT APPEAsEs

Roosevelt, however, persevered, Calling the Brussels Conference of the Nine Power nations supposed to protect China, he gave Norman Davis, head of the American dele gation, full power to invoke an economic blockade against Japan.
 Following this, FDR made his greatest mistake. He went on a fishing trip. In his absence. ap- peasers inside the State Depart ment made mincemeat of his in- structions to Davis. Every move Davis made at Brussels was stym- jed in Washington. The attempt to block Japan was complete ;iasco.
 That attempt, in the autumn of 1887. was the last real move to save the iaitering machinery of peace. In October 1888, at Munich, came one more emi-attempt, but it was half-healted and every realist knew that there was no chance whatso- ever Of stopping Hitler by giving lim the Sudetenland.

FDR AppEAsEs SPAIN

Meanwhile, Roosevelt had side stepped in regard to Spain. He had every reason to know the Axis was using Spain to rehearse the war they intended to bring in Europe. He was advised of this repeatedly. But strong Catholic political forces in this country were opposed to any lifting of the arms embargo against Spain, and FDR permitted Franco, a silent co-partner of the Axis to entrench himself at one end of the Mediterranean next to strategic Gibraltar
 Regarding Japan, however, Roose- welt was no appeaser. At the urg- ing of Admiral Leahy, he proposed to Great Britain that the American and British Fleets combine in an economic blockade of Japan. In preparation for this, FDR delivered his famous quarantine" speech in Chicago, urging an economic block ade of aggressor nations. Simul- taneeusly the British started a part of their Fleet through Gibral- tar to Singapore.
 However, the Axis, probably de- coding American diplomatic cables discovered what was happening and Mussolini started a submarine cam paign against British merchant shipping in Spanish waters. So the British fleet turned back from Singapore and remained near Spain and Gibraltar.

pitifully small compared with the huge French Army and they were given a double set of orders, one to advance, the other to retreat im- mediately if the French resisted. But the French Cabinet, after de- batting all day, and after getting no cooperation from the British, yielded to the appeasers. Hitler now sat across the Rhine, having opened another big hole in the safeguards against war.
 Next chapter was Hitler's seizure of Austria. Again the powers of peace side-stepped. It was easier to procrastinate than to act.

 History has a way of repeating itself. Now, the first test of the United Nations over Iran may be the first break in the new machin- cry in which the people of the world have pinned such hopes. The test cannot be side-stepped or post poned.

sTrMsoN GETS SLAPPED

Stimson. however, rallying sup pert from other countries, wrote a tough note to the Russians, and received in reply one of the most caustic of diplomatic messages. It concluded: "The Soviet Govern ment cannot forbear expressing amazement that the Government of the United States which, by its own VII. has no official relations with the Soviet, deems it possible to ap- ply to it with advice and counsel"
 MT. Stimson got slapped, but 1t was worth the pain. For the Rus sians promptly withdrew their troops. Peace had been preserved.
 Stimson's next big test came two years later, in 1881, when the Japs sent troops into Mukden to pro- tect the South Manchurian Rail- way To the appeasers in Washing ton, London and Paris, it seemed an unimportant incident. But Stim- son recognized it for what 1t was a small break ill the flood-gates against war which could become dangerously greater.

MussoLINI TAKES ETHIOPIA

Next came Mussolini's war against Ethiopia By that time the Axis had been formed and it's members were getting bolder. They had watched Japan get what she wanted in Manchuria, and now Mussolini decided to get his from the last remaining independent country in Africa.
 Once again, the forces of peace fliuched. The League of Nations invoked sanctions. but it did not ban oil from Italy. Without Gil, Italian warships and airplanes would have been powerless. But British and American oil compan- ies were too powerful. Italy made the next big hole in the flood gates against war by defeating Ethiopia.
