JotMMMmi ROBOT PLANE SCORES HITS WASHINGTON.--No military se-cr-is more closely guarded than a lenrational new robot airplane now beinjj tried out secretly by the navy in both Hawaii and Langley field. Va. Navy experts have been working for more than 10 years to develop a reliable "pilotless" plane operated by radio control. Observers who have witnessed some of the latest tests, pronounce the device as near miraculous. A robot bomber takes efT, discharges its bombs over a dis-tant target, returns to base and lands without being touched by a human hand. The distance of the target is cal-culated in advance, and when the robot reaches it a device automat-ically releases the bombs. Nat-urally the aiming is largely a mat-ter of chance, but in the tests a num-ber of direct hits were scored. The cruising radius of the robots is lim-ited only by fuel supply and the radio frequency .range. While most effective at short dis-tances, the robot can be used for long-rang- e bombing in conjunction with piloted planes or by a system of "relay control," that is, by radio stations along the line ,)f flight. So closely is the Invention guarded that navy officers have been warned that any talk about it will be con-sidered a violation of the Espionage act, and make them subject to court martial and dismissal DEFENSE 'INFLUENCE There was a hidden brickbat in that sharp warning issued by Assist-ant War Secretary Robert Patterson that no one has an "inside track" in the awarding of army defense contracts. . What the mild-manner- former U. S. Circuit court judge didn't say was that he is planning to insert a little clause in every army contract requiring contractors to swear they paid no commissions or any other fees to obtain the order. Penalty for doing so is cancellation of the con-tract Under the law Patterson is legally responsible for the entire industrial mobilization program and passes on every large army contract The boasts of certain lobbyists and high-pressur- e promoters that they can get army orders through "inside influ-ence" are, therefore, a direct reflec-tion on him. He doesn't like it one bit and has no intention of putting up with it Some of the "influence" operators have even told officials of cities they could deliver defense projects which bad already been located elsewhere by the war department for strategic reasons. ' DUTCH PRINCESS Inside story of the expected White House visit of Crown Princess Juli-sn- a of The Netherlands is that she and Mrs. Roosevelt have kept up a correspondence ever since the prin-cess arrived in Canada six months ago with her two baby daughters. The visit to Washington might have come sooner, but the princess put it off because she didn't relish round of extravagant entertain-ment. She wants to avoid being dined and wined while her own peo-ple, now under German domination, are living on rationed food. The princess, with her two chil-dren, has been living in a rented house in Ottawa. Her husband. Prince Bernhard, is in London as aide-de-ca- to Queen Wilhelmina, and her brother is reported to be in a German concentration camp. In Ottawa, the princess has not entertained, has amused herself by walking and playing tennis. She will be a White House guest for two days, beginning December 18. 'at aa aa CONSCIENTIOUS OBJECTORS The man responsible for the light sentence given the eight divinity col-lege students who refused to register for the draft was not the New York court but Attorney General Robert Jackson. The young men, who were stu-dents of Union Theological seminary, were about to receive a three-ye- ar sentence. ' But as a result of Jack-son's intervention, they got a year and a day. Jackson polled the judges in ad-vance of the decision and found they were all In favor of a long, stiff sentence. Partly for humanitarian reasons, and partly because he didn't want the boys to become mar-tyrs who would arouse wide popular objection to the law, Jackson in-structed U. S. Attorney Cahill to ask for a short sentence. The students now may get out in even less than a year. The short sentence makes them eligible for White House reprieve, whereas with longer sentence, the President would not have felt free to Intervene. see MERRY-GO-ROUN- D Mrs. Roosevelt isn't the only White House devotee of square dancing. Another enthusiast is handsome young Jimmy Rowe, White House secretary, who belongs to a club staging square dances once a week. Jimmy's favorite is the "cowboy rtorap."

WAR EFFORT It is being said with increasing rep-etition and insistence that a democ-racy can't fight a dictatorship with-out creating a dictatorship In Itself. It is not true but, like so much other sloganeering, things constantly re-peated have a way of getting them-selves accepted even without much debate, especially if they have some truth or an appearance of truth. It is true that complete involve-ment in major war requires In-creased centralized power in gov-ernment and temporary surrender of some civil right, but what is thus necessary falls far short of a do-mestic dictatorship. What this country did in industrial mobilization for our last war was so effective that most warring na-tions have copied the general plan with their own variations especial-ly, Germany. Woodrow Wilson got about what he asked for, but the statutory dictatorial powers he used were very slender. As far as industry was concerned, the whole structure was built on two powers one was the power to com-mandeer factories, the other was the prescribed "priority lists" state-ments of government needs for the products of industry which the ad-ministration decided must be filled before any other orders. Comman-deering differed very little from the peacetime power of eminent domain if the government needs a proper-ty and the owner is unwilling to sell, the administration takes it over and the courts determine what is "just compensation" to be paid to the owner. It was not the use of these pow-ers, but their existence and the threat of them that enabled the gov-ernment to get what it wanted. In almost all cases, a mere request with no threat or use of power was all that was needed. In time of war. in this country nearly all of busi-ness is eager to do its part But as in all such community ef-forts, there is always a little "chisel-ing fringe" of slackers who try to take advantage of the burdens borne by their more unwilling competition. Both to make the combined effort ef-fective and to protect the patriotic from the greedy, it is advisable sometimes to get tough with this gentry and it is necessary to be able to do so. Except for the railroads and a telegraph company, which rested on a different basis, outright comman-deering was used only once. That statement once before made in this column has been challenged. It is correct The case was that of the Smith and Wesson Manufacturing company for refusal to accept an award of the national war labor board. There was no press censorship ex-cept the willingness of the entire press voluntarily to comply with suggestions of the administration. There was a tight control of exports, as there is now. Food supply was pretty thoroughly regulated by a control of profits rather than of prices and of a licensing system governing distribution. That was as near as this country came to dictatorship in the greatest military and Industrial effort ever made up to that time. It is as near as is necessary now. e e e AID TO BRITAIN William Allen White, who is chair-ma- n of the Committee to Ai8 Brit-ain, thinks congress , should pass some kind of a resolution announc-ing which side we are on in the present world conflict not a dec-laration of war. There isn't much doubt which side we are on in our hearts. Actions speak louder than words. By our actions, as the President has said, we are sending Britain all the aid we can just now unless we decide to finance her war. Short of a dec-laration of war such a declaration oi sympathy seems unnecessary and, at first glance, not very important On the other hand, many people in this country fear the direction in which we are headed as a path lead-ing straight to war. They are for aid to Britain with two important qualifications. First that we do not weaken our own defensive prepara-tions, second, that we do not do such things as will make war inev-itable. In this state of affairs and un-certainty about public opinion and in this fog of misinformation or no information about just what is in-volved in this question. I doubt il Mr. White's idea about a congres-sional resolution is as unimportant as it seems. There is yet time and there is not yet any such hysteria as would prevent a full and fairly free debate. Congress is closer to the senti-ment of this country than any sam-pling poll or any other branch of government can possibly be. If our present course of conduct and the purposes of Mr. White's people are, in fact, leading unnecessarily toward war, the debate on such a resolu-tion would reveal both that fact and the poP"lar judgment on it For all these reasons, while this column doesn't agree with what it thinks Mr. White's committee stands for, it does agree with his recent suggestion that congress be con-sulted in the way he describes.
