Domestic Since President Roosevelt's "quarantine" speech at Chicago in October, 1937, U. S. public opinion has veered sharply and outspokenly against dictators, meanwhile mak-ing new friends for France, Britain and China. Washington's tradition-al policy of isolation and neutrality has well-nig- h gone by the boards, thanks to Nazi Jew-baitin- Japan's threat to U. S. interests in China and dictator inroads throughout South America. Most heated U. S. speechmaker against Adolf Hitler has been Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes, whose tirades pre-sumably reflect White House senti-ment. Long-awaite- d reaction against for-eign entanglement took root only a month ago when congress discov-ered the administration was spon-soring military plane sales to France and Britain. Today the is-sue of isolation is growing by leap and bound, not only as a question gerous commitment, congress thought twice when the Export-Impor- t bank due to expire June 30 came up for two years' extension. Argued Michigan's Rep. Jesse P. Wolcott: "This bank can get us into a situation which may involve us in any European or Asiatic con-flict . . . It is a dangerous thing to have this power lying around." Argued Ohio's Sen. Robert A. Taft: "The government shouldn't be in the export business." Passed by the house after vigorous debate, the extension bill could expect a chary reception by the senate. Meanwhile the U. S. chamber of commerce lifted its eyebrows over a report that 25 American industri-alists would Join a British-Germa- n cartel to regulate competition in world markets and offset a threat-ened trade war. The state depart-ment knew nothing about it and was far from enthusiastic. But . While one branch of U.

In less than one late February week enough shots were fired to constitute a definite trend: "Wicked Dictatorships." To Pitts-fiel- d, Mass., went William R. Cas-tle, assistant chairman of the Re-- al complications in the world of 1939 were two developments: (1) The civil aeronautics authority prepared to fight German, Italian, French and Dutch air services for suprem-acy in South America: (2) Dr. Raul Ribeiro, Brazilian economist, of-fered U. S. capitalists a chance to invest in a mining development proj-ect for his country, with possible exchange of Brazilian ore for American- -made munitions. Europe All European crisis since 1930 have been started by scheming Italy and Germany. With Europe well on its way to another nervous break-down scheduled for , signs now indicate that Britain and France, lovers of peace and the status quo, may at least be blamed if not responsible for the spring crisis. Underlying every potential Euro-pean development is the Spanish war, whose early termination will leave Italy free to pursue Mediter-ranean territorial demands against France. This, because a Franco victory in Spain is an Italian vic-tory giving II Duce more Mediter-ranean power. It would jeopardize not only France's colonies, but Brit-ain's "lifeline" to the Far East. By now the Paris-Londo- n "axis" has at least three reasons to de-cide on an aggressive course which may decide Europe's future: (1) Unconfirmed but persistent reports of French-Italia- clashes on the Libya-Tunisi- a border (see mtp) jibe with announcements that Italy's Libyan garrisons are being in-creased. Tunisia is one French ter-ritory specifically demanded by Italy, unofficially. Reports say Fascist troops penetrated Tunisia at a spot 25 miles southeast of the first French fortified zone, just as Italy's Marshal Pietro Badoglio visited Libya to inspect frontier PREMIER HIRAMMA Is International Settlement next? island despite an agreement with France. This accomplished, muni-tions shipments into China through French Indo China might be blocked. Latest and craftiest Japanese plan is seizure of the Shanghai in-ternational settlement, only non-Ja- p area left in the city and an unwill-ing haven for Chinese guerrilla war-riors. In the past 18 months 88 political murders have been com-mitted there, most victims being puppet Chinese governmental of-ficers in Japanese pay. Latest vic-tims were Chen Lo, foreign minis-ter for the Central China govern-ment in Nanking, and Marquis Li Kuo-chie- grandson of China's great statesman, Li Hung-chang- . Life is cheap in the Orient and loss of a few puppets would be small for control of the Shanghai international settlement. Though backed only by rumor, there is growing belief that Chinese mur-ders may have been "planted" by Tokyo as an excuse to march in and keep peace, conveniently set-ting an important precedent. Whether true or not, the belief jibes with retaliatory action taken in Tokyo. Up before a turbulent meeting of the diet rose Lt. Gen. Seishiro Itagaki, minister of war, to declare he was "convinced of the necessity to take an effective meas-ure of in the interna-tional settlement. Later, in extraor-dinary session, the cabinet placed official approval on such action when Premier Baron Kiichiro declared the terrorism "compels Japan to take fundamen-tal measures to maintain peace and order." Meanwhile Premier Hiranuma could see that his newest drive to close China's open door would meet stubborn resistance.

Said Mr. Castle, before a 40 and 8 (American Legion) society: "There is still so much work ... to keep this the best possible country . . . that our officials would do well to confine themselves to this task in-stead of spending so much time talk-ing about wicked dictatorships and the dangers of war. We certainly want none of their philosophy . . . but ... if that philosophy is what other nations want it is not for us to attempt to prevent it." Nye Again. An irreconcilable paci-fist.

In Shangl ii the international police redoubled their efforts and prepared to resist a threat on the settlement. To the south, at lazy Haiphong, Indo-Chin- France was angry enough to junk her Japanese agreement just as Japan had junked it, opening her gateway to srpplies for sorely pressed Chinese troops.

S. efforts to reconcile heavily taxed business have proceeded since "Uncle Dan" Roper was re-placed as commerce secretary by Harry Hopkins. After initial prom-ises Mr. Hopkins settled back in to his office and drafted a bill. Its gist: Military and naval officers could bar export of any planes de-veloped in the U. S. until they de-termined that the craft are not need-ed exclusively for American de-fense. One reason for the bill was testi-mony that Mr. Roosevelt had ig-nored high military naval officials in making the foreign deal. An-other reason is Senator Nye's fear of an ultimate U. S. desire to sell planes to Germany, Italy, Japan or any other nation, thus producing a "vicious circle." Next day it be-came apparent the "vicious circle" had already been created interna-tionally. A member of the civil aeronautics authority reportedly told the senate military affairs com-mittee that Germany was willing to sell fighting planes toof all nations France. Reasoning: France would thereby become dependent on foreign plane factories, committing national suicide in case of war with Germany. Foreign Trade.

(2) Germany has started mobili-zation for annual war games, ac-companied by renewed grumblings against "war scares" by western democracies. (3) Chancellor Hitler, Premier Mussolini and Generalissimo Fran-co are scheduled to meet soon for a decision on Spain's future, and, pre-sumably, the future course of an enlarged European Fascism. Viewing these three developments the British parliament has approved an extra $2,000,000,000 armament appropriation, starting a new inter-national munitions race which Prime Minister Chamberlain admits might "lead to the bankruptcy of every country in E'urope." At the same time London has agreed on plans for an expeditionary force to help France in case of war. Mean-while both London and Paris have been making desperate last-minut- e efforts to win Franco. German-Italia- n reply to these "warlike threats" will probably be to hold their troops in Spain until France grants African concessions. Thus perplexed, London and Paris must either use a whip lash, there-by provoking a new crisis, or per-mit the most serious blow to demo-cratic prestige thus far inflicted. If they planned the latter course there would be little justification for to-- 1 day's frenzied rearmament. suence ior two montns oi stuay to learn what made his heretofore in- - effectual department tick. Some hint of more reconciliation was contained in President Roose-velt's n remark that business need fear no more taxes. More hint was found in the speech of Secretary of War Harry Wood-rin-who stepped from his mili-tary shoes to tell the Democratic Women's National council that he hoped soon to see an end of "spend-ing and taxing" if private business will take the initiative. Even before Secretary Hopkins left for Des Moines to make his "policy speech," Washington knew pretty well what an obviously re-vitalized commerce department in-tended to do. Main points in the Hopkins program: (1) Develop the heretofore unimportant business ad-visory council; (2) promote to slash WPA rolls; (3) study taxes and their effect on busi-ness; (4) attempt to succeed where the labor department had failed, in settling the feud between the Amer-ican Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organiza-tions.
