FOREIGN TRADE MONOPOLY More alert minds in the Roosevelt administration have been doing some very careful thinking about what is going to happen to AmeriThe piccan trade in the future. Here ture is far from optimistic. are some of the things they have concluded: After this war is over it is almost ago. But dancing a merry madrigal and tossing off billions like bay leaves isn't total defense. Mr. Roosevelt's futile solution for every problem from unemployment to agriculture, from business depression to defense, is to ask congress for blank checks for billions. January, 1940 ....

Is there any military or naval opinion that we can or should prepare to repel aggression anywhere on the Western hemisphere? It is not on record. A realistic approach to our defense problem reveals that, while we can and must become supreme and impregnable about as far. as the Equator with such strength as would be a serious threat to any incursions further south, we can't underwrite all the weak, undemocratic, unfriendly Latin nations between the Equator and Cape Horn. The strictly military problem does not require 2,000,000 men and, if it did, it would be folly to provide facilities to equip them in short order. War changes equipment too fast. If you gear a tool up to equip a million men in two or three years, you can equip the next million in six months. If you try to equip the first 2,000,000 in so short a time, you risk mountains of obsolete equipment and acres of idle plants. - i acannon alittle Sn Ta RR akin Th Satie A promise not to send Americans abroad doesn't mean anything if your policy invites foreign war. The American people should not be fooled into thinking that rearmament is "‘excellent." It is not. It could not be. It would be a miracle if we began to get balanced equipment in 18 months, and this administration is neither manned, equipped nor organized to produce industrial miracles. * Pre! tn BA oA = ene ia cae de ee he eK tig) mnoletahenaitannnn ne sgt a aes Ag eT ERtya -<~ A ors & $9,307,913,137 Nobody is going to complain about what defense costs. Nobody ought to complain about the belated awakening of our great American Daladier or the sound diplomatic, military and naval strategy both of demonstrating that we intend immediately to make ourselves invincible and of proceeding to do so. But this roman candle jugglery with billions isn't going to fool anybody but the American people. For what is this money to be spent? For ‘‘naval expansion,'' for active and reserve equipment of a ‘land force'' of 2,000,000 men and for 19,000 airplanes-all ‘‘to repel aggression against the United States or the Western hemisphere."' But we ‘‘will not send our men to take part in European wars."' How about results from the billions already authorized? ‘‘Excellent progress... Every week, more and more is being delivered.'' That sounds exactly like the guns and munitions we have ‘‘on hand or on order."' The trouble with every phase of this message is that it reveals nothing except a hint that there is no plan. That the magnificent figures were picked out of the air, and that actual progress is too piffling to be described any more definitely than in the Dr. Coue pollyanna abracadabra ‘‘every day in every way I grow better and better."

Refugee British Kids Find Safe Haven in America 2 A group of refugee British children are shown after their arrival in New York city.

Dr. Francis Townsend, old-age czar, attempted to put the bee on Democratic platform-makers and candidates as he did at Philadelphia, but with no better luck' The only one to give him a tumble was McNutt, whom Townsend was boosting for vice president. Chief pluggers for the ‘‘little business'' plank in the platform, promising loans and protection against big business, were Sen. James Mead of New York, Chairman Adolph Sabath of the house rules committee, Dr. John F. Carruthers, head of the National Small Business Research bureau, and James G. Daly, president of the National Small Businessmen's association. Strange pre-convention visitor to the national committee headquarters here was John Raskob, chairman from 1928 to 1932 and with Al Smith a bolter in 1936. Raskob spent a half-hour conferring privately with Farley.

S. ALTERNATIVES Therefore the United States, in order to continue any kind of export trade whatsoever, will have to do one of four things: 1. Reduce wages to a level approximating the starvation standards paid in Germany. 2. Reduce profits, or eliminate them altogether, if German prices are to be met. 3. Subsidize industry and virtually take it over, as under the Nazi, Fascist, and Soviet systems. 4. Create a foreign trade monopoly. This is what the Russians have done for more than a decade, and what the Nazis have been doing more recently. All exports abroad are sold through the government and imports are purchased the same way. It is this last system which New Deal advisers consider least objectionable of the four, and upon which they are concentrating. Naturally, the handling of U. S. exports and imports through a government monopoly is a long, long way from the Hull trade treaties. 7 udio bei ee ing out 0 meet faith-| great life and death rule over about 400,000,000 people, including all the nations of Europe. 3. Russia, which will govern the trade of about 200,000,000 people. 4. The United States, Canada and South America-if we can still keep the latter under the Monroe Doctrine. These will represent about 350,000,000 people. In the first three of these economic areas, foreign trade will be completely controlled by government monopolies. For instance, Germany operating on a slave wage scale and a socialized system, will be able to cut prices and undersell the United States throughout South America. Already Germany is offering steel in Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires for September delivery far under prices quoted by U. S. steel mills. Japan, which is sure to industrialize China, also will pay slave wages, and will do the same. / a s oe soetare Now, | a beautiful and peaceful garg, fully and make about, 50 5 woolento|am trying not to think of w ‘and what it will be ltkeis dresses every week, in sizes 9 comprising will - e wil 3 =f ae mine nothing to ae sketched faa 7 Te aa‘ I ee meer up f° ; short cu s my , this, e Prk} *s duction; 7 munity.

Germany, There is a more cogent question. Some institutions for the care of homeless children have experienced a marked seasonal rise in applications for adoption around the gracious Christmas season. At varying later periods the little darlings don't seem so desirable. On this ground, usually, the institution that gave the child will take it back, but what is going to happen in a similar situation with these piteous fugitives? Heaven knows we have such a terrific burden in taking care of the millions of our own destitute that we are not making a very good job of it, and few if any of their children are being guaranteed a home. But the plight of little children under bombing operations is more than persuasive-it is compelling. Many good and responsible people are offering to assume the financial and personal burden of receiving these kids.
