AND THE WAE WASHINGTON. A group of farm leaders went to the White House to urge Roosevelt to support the Jones bill, which would cut interest rates on government farm loans. And while they got the President's sup-port, they also got an earful on an-oth- er subject-w- hy the U. S. will not get involved in the European war. The discussion began when one or the farmers asked Roosevelt wheth-er propaganda and the loss of for-eign markets would affect U. S. neutrality. This brought an em-phatic negative from the Fresment. "I 'don't think the American people will lose their heads to the extent of being drawn into the European conflict," he said in ef-fect. "It is true that the emotions of people can be quickly aroused, but reason and logic always triumph in the end. That's why our demo-cratic form of government has sur-vived so long. "Take, for example, the arms em-bargo fight There was a lot of talk from certain elements during that controversy, that if we lifted the embargo it would drag us into the war. Well, all that talk has died down and you don't hear it any more. There was no truth in it and it evaporated. "The same happened during the debate over extending the recipro-cal trade treaties. There was a lot of unfounded talk then, but it has all blown over unless political op-portunists inject the issue into this year's campaign." "What about the Nazi invasion of Denmark and Norway?" asked an-other of the farm visitors. "Will that endanger our neutrality?" Again Roosevelt shook his head. "As long," he replied, "as we keep a level head, our feet on the ground and maintain a liberal government, we have nothing to worry about." Bombing; Bill White. President Roosevelt scored a neat one on his old friend William Allen White, the sage of Emporia, Kan., during his ses-sion with the newspaper edi-tors recently at the White House. Incidentally, the remark was a clue to what Roosevelt thinks is the chief dan-ger to the United States Nazi William Allen forces in Latin White America. The President was talking about the war and the question of national defense, especially as it applied to the Western hemisphere. To illustrate his point, he turned sud-denly to Mr. White, who was sitting In the group before him. "For instance, Bill White may think he's a lot safer in Kansas than I am up in Hyde Park, N. Y.," said the President, "but he isn't." He went on to explain that if enemy bombers were to seek out Hyde Park they would have a long way to fly across the Atlantic. But if they wanted to bomb Bill White in Kansas, it was relatively easy for them to fly up from Mexico where enemy air bases could be established. I'ndcr the Dome. One cf the most inspiring sights in our democratic government is to see the President of the United States address a Joint session of congress. These gatherings include not only the President and mem-bers of the house and senate, but also cabinet members, Supreme court justices, foreign diplomats, members of the President's family, plus social and political leaders-- all seated in the house of represen-tatives. But some members of congress heave a sigh of relief when these sessions are adjourned. What they know, though others do not, is that the roof covering the house cham-br- r is in danger cf caving in some day and wiping out the nation's political leaders. Furthermore, the roof of the sen- ate chamber is supported by simi-lar materials, and architects have recommended that it be replaced. Serious-minde- Horace D.

He was referring to the roof on the senate side of the Capitol.

IIjohnson il Jour: DONOVAN'S SOLDIERS Wild Bill Donovan, the able law-ye- r, who turned out to be a whiz-ban- g soldier, a fighting fool and a medal of honor man in the World war, is advocating something new in raising armies. He wants us to stop sending our kids first to war. He says that the only excuse for It was that they have greater endurance in a sudden spurt of speed, though not In long, steady pulls. Since soldiers are, to a continuously greater extent, going to war on wheels and pulling mechanical levers instead of ,club-bin- g muskets, he thinks men up to 500 anil even older could do just as well. I know what is eating Wild Bill. I have felt it gnawing me. He is reaching the age where, if we don't pass a law or something, he might have to stay out of any possible shindy himself. Seriously, Bill's got something there. Boys scarcely more than children fight wars. There are more reasons for this than Colonel Donovan gives. One is that, where there is any element of volunteer-ing, they are more impulsive and ; If - COL. WILLIAM DOXOVAX j He would keep youth out of uar. rush first to the recruiting sergeant. A youth has fewer responsibilities to a family, a farm, a business, or a job. Men in actual combat service are only a fraction of the troops used in war. Supply and other auxiliary services require more soldiers than does fighting. There is no sense in culling out a physically perfect kid and setting him to rolling pills in a medical supply department in Kala-mazoo. If we relaxed physical requirements to run-of-mi- ll stand-ard and created classes for "special and limited military service" for the less than perfect, we would greatly reduce the drain on the best of our youth crop with no loss in military energy. We tried that toward the close of the World war and it worked. Furthermore, if we impose no arbitrary age limits, but only limits of physical fitness, even for com-bat service, we shall be using great-er common sense, and be getting far greater economy in the use of our national manpower. ALASKAN FRONT A glance at the map of the North Pacific will show that we are closer to Russia than any other good neighbor except Canada and Mex-ico. At Bering straits, Siberia and Alaska almost touch. That is under the Arctic circle and is not a dan-gerous menace. But, far to the south of that, our Aleutian islands lie like stepping stones on the way to Kamchatka. The outlying Rus-sian islands of Komandorski and Bering seem to be a mere exten-sion of the Aleutian archipelago and are within a few miles of the Amer-ican Near islands. We have no fortification or air bases in the Aleutians, notwith-standing that they skirt the shortest of the Great Circle route between Seattle and either Japan or the Si-berian coasts and that enemy air bases there could threaten the whole North Pacific and our main defen-sive line Alaska, Hawaii and Pan-ama. It is a threatening and dangerous situation. I know of no professional authority that does not agree that, purely for defensive purposes, we must guard this flank. The army has authority for an auxiliary air base at Fairbanks, Alaska, but the proposed main operating air base 's at anchorage at the head of Cook inlet. This will require $14,000,000 to complete and urgently and im-mediately demands $4,000,000 to start. The strategists of the house ap-propriations committee "econ-omized" here, while refusing to do so to one billions of vote-gettin- g handouts. They blacked-ou- t the an-chorage. They "economized" also on reserve airplanes for the army cutting the number asked from 476 to 57. Part of this cut the war de-partment approved in view of the increased foreign purchases of military types, but it did not do so aj to 166 planes of a type the need for which was not lessened by expanded airplane production ca-pacity. weekly news analysis New German Troop Movements Threaten Sweden's Neutrality; Norway's Battlefront Widened (EDITOR'S NOTE When opinions are expressed In these columns, they are those of the news analyst and not necessarily of this newspaper.) Ria..ri by Weitern Newspaper Union THE WAR: Two Million Men As the British government an-nounced that the empire "now has 2,000,000 men under arms" military experts were speculating as to how many of this number had landed in Norway, current theater of World War II. There was terrific fighting in Norway and Norwegian coastal waters, that much was sure. But conflicting reports from London, Berlin and Stockholm clouded the picture. NEUTRALS: Baltic Barometer Ever since the Nazi war machine showed its teeth to their Norwegian neighbors the Swedish people have been hoping that their land will not be the eventual battlefield of the Scandinavian campaign. Vowing to "fight for neutrality" Swedish off-icials now have received reports that German troops and arms are being embarked from Nazi controlled ports directly across the Baltic from Sweden's shores. Some sources be-lieved the troops were bound for Norway, but with the ships went vessels and it is Sweden's ports not Norway's that are still winter-blocke- ORIENT: Inevitable? After Secretary of State Hull made it clear recently that the status quo must be maintained in the Dutch East Indies and Japan politely agreed, it appeared that for a while at least, Uncle Sam could relax his Nazi official sources admitted for the first time that their forces had clashed with allied troops on Nor-wegian soil. Direct combat was cen-tered around Steinkjer, where it ap-peared the British had been routed, and around the "gateway" to Oslo, a strategic valley north of that city. It was in this sector near the city of Dombas that Robert Losey, U. S. military air attache, was killed dur-ing a German air raid. He was hit in the heart by a bomb splinter as he stood near a mountain tunnel be-ing used for air raid protection. Around Oslo itself, guerilla war-fare was In progress. Small bands of the scattered Norwegian forces teamed up with British troops and staged periodic raids upon points held by the Germans. Germans claimed to be beating off these at-tacks and said they were pushing their outposts further into the in-terior. - TV''-- British air patrols were busy rain-ing bombs on German, Danish and Norwegian coastal bases of the Nazi air force in desperate efforts to cut off homeland communications and supplies of troops. Meanwhile Ger-man officials claimed that England was attacking objects and threatened reprisals they feared bombing of open villages and towns. REAR ADMIRAL TAUSSIG lie jvars uar with Japan. Digging In At home, allies and Germans alike were taking measures to strength-en the home front. While Germans pulled in their belts another notch with more restricted rations being effected, England launched a sal-vage campaign similar to the Nazi requests for scrap iron. (See cut.) Staging an "Old Iron day." the Brit-ish government asked for scrap met-al of every description. And they got it. Bedsteads, stoves, perambu-- vigilance in that sector Just a bit. But as two warships of the U. S. Asiatic fleet sped northward out of Manilla to check on the report that the British navy was spreading its blockade of Germany to Eastern wa-ters, Rear Admiral Joseph K. Taus-sig was telling the senate naval af-fairs committee in Washington that war with Japan was inevitable. Said the admiral: "I cannot see how we can ultimately prevent be-ing drawn into war on account of the Far Eastern situation. We would be warranted in using economic and financial means and, if necessary, force, to preserve the integrity of China." Admiral Taussig believes that the government at Tokyo has a definite program for world conquest that will some day have to be reckoned with. Such a program, he claims, includes the gobbling up of the Phil-ippines, French Indo-Chin- a, the Netherlands Indies, and other sec-tions of the Far East. Next day, Hamilton Fish, Republi-can representative from New York, denounced the admiral's statement and told his colleagues that con-gress should investigate inflamma-tory speeches of navy officers. He said he believed navy officers thought the only duty of the fleet was to go to war with Japan. Meanwhile a report came out of Tokyo that German and British dip-lomats were striving desperately for Japan's "benevolent neutrality" in connection with the present Euro-pean war. Great Britain is trying to extend her blockade to Pacific waters and keep war materials from the East Indies from reaching Ger-many via Pacific shipping lanes, the port of Vladivostok, and the trans-Siberia- n railway. BRITISH SALVAGE DRIVE A lesson from Mr. Hitler lators and washing machines were among the thousands of articles tossed into the melting pot to be-come sinews of war. England also announced a new budget and imposed a host of new taxes and levies. CONGRESS: Slush ' Seeking the aid of the sen-ate campaign investigating commit-tee is opening up inquiries into com-plaints of "slush" funds and other political misbehavior in five states Nebraska, Missouri, Kansas, Mary-land and West Virginia. Chairman Gillette, Democrat of Iowa, omitted to name the source of the complaints but ordered investigators to check reports he had received. As far as West Virginia was con-cerned there was no secret about the complaint source, for that state's Senator Neely (Democrat) stated he had requested the inquiry to "pre-vent the statehouse machine from debauching and corrupting the elec-tions with the use of money and whiskey . . ." Neely is a candidate for governor this year. In Nebraska, recent primary elec-tion expenditures were to be checked; Missouri investigators would look for evidence of improper use of funds in that state's senatori-al race and another race for the sen-ate was being reviewed in Mary-land. Investigators had already re-turned from Kansas with reports of thv--ir findings on reported "improp-er use of state patronage" in con-nection with selecting Republican convention delegates. Public hear-ings on this investigation have been scheduled to get under way within two weeks. Mt. Ath. ttfw2ff' ing: 1 m,V, t Oladlolui; JO giTJT ""'Wl I tlon. Pay e.rrlif7iiV"M J 1.
