If Britain wins, it would not need surplus armaments lent or transferred by the United States. But Canada would, and Canada is an integral part of American defense. If Britain loses, it could be forced into a peace which would imply transfer of its war materilas to Germany, in- cluding anything the United' States has sent. But Canada is a separate country. It declared war separate on Germany. And while Canada will never let Britain down by making a separate peace, Canada might not acquiesce on the same terms to a peace forced on Britain by military collapse. In other words, Canada might be more inclined, and might be better able, to bring back to the Western Hemisphere after the war, however the war comes out, ships and guns that would still be useful to hemisphere de- fense. neighbor. The United States is justified to the fullest degree in giving Canada any id that seems mutually beneficial. More ships to Canada implies development of larger and better base facilities in Canada aid granted to Canada seems more likely to revert into eventual hemisphere defense assets than aid sent direct to Britain. Yet so far as the prosecution of the present war is concerned, they would be equally useful to the next-do- or British. , Might it not be well, therefore, while there is so much agitation for All Aid to Britain, to turn more closely to the possibly greater advantages of All Aid to Canada?

TIP FOR The first interest of the United States is defense of the Western Hemisphere. All agree on that. Some favor a static Maginot Line" defense. Others think the best defense is aid to Britain that a defeated Britair. would make hemisphere defense doubly difficult, and that therefore Aid to Britain IS a phase of hemisphere defense. But how about Aid to Canada? The tiny Canadian navy has already suffered severe war losses. Surplus or overage destroyers or other naval ships, even merchant ships, might well be transferred to Canada, thus building hemisphere defense directly. A Canadian navy capable of holding up its share of continental defense would be a continental advantage. True, at the present moment, Canada would use those ships and defense sinews of any kind against Germany, Canada is at war with Germany. But that is Canadas problem.

But neither wants the post Also, influential moderates inside the committee urged that a split with the kindly Sage of Emporia would bring public reaction against the group. This question was fought bark and forth inside the executive committee for a week, and it was during tills battle that Roosevelt threw his influence on the side of Bill White. Meanwhile, White had remained complacently at his desk in Emporia but said he would come East in late January to talk things over. At first it was agreed to postpone any decision until then. But finally more, militant leaders of the committee forced the issue, insisting that White be promoted immediately to the rank of Honor-pr- y Chairman and Senator Ernest W.

ALLEN WASHINGTON In talks with his close advisers recently, the President has revealed a mucli more confident opinion of the of the war in Europe. This conference rests partly upon the belief that Hitler, and Nazi are greatly officials generally, worried over the possibile entry of the United States into the war, and are acquiring a genuine respect for what the United States is accomplishing in the way of national defense . Hitler, Roosevelt has told his friends, had the greatest scorn for Britain under Chamberlain, and for France. For some time, also. Hitler had the same idea about the United States. The President confides that as far as he has been able to ascertain. Hitler regarded him as just another Chamberlain. But now intelligence reports from Germany indicate that Hitlers opinion of the United States has changed to one of respect and even fear. Roosevelt plans to make the most of this psychological factor, and believes that sending every possible aid to Britain, short of war, will help to do it. He believes this can be done without getting into war, though he acknowledges privately that it carries risks. Most risky American project would be to convoy merchant ships across the Atlantic, and so far Roosevelt has refused to commit himself, though this is what the British need most desperately. However, some of his advisers continue to be strongly for it, and believe they have made a dent on the Persident. What they argue is this: The United States cannot be attacked as long as the war continues to rage in F.urope and the British fleet remains afloat. Therefore, since we rannot be attacked, we can get Into the war to ary degree we like without sending an expeditionary force. Should Germany declare war on the United States, these Roosevelt advisers urge, we can merely continue with our present support to Britain. Business would proceed about as usual, since the Nazis would be powerless to cross the Atlantic to attack the United States at least until Great Britain fails. Up until that time, they figure that declaring war on the United States would be about the last thing the Nazis could do. RUNS IN THE FAMILY Joan Morgenthau is a chip off old block. She made a great the hit as a White House debutante last week, but like her father, the Secretary of the Treasury, she is no good at figures. Today Morgenthau handles figures of astronomical proportions, at Phillips but as a school-bo- y Exeter Academy, he was a problem child in mathematics, In fact, his grades were so poor that his father, Ambassador Henry Morgenthau Sr., traveled to Exeter, N. H., to see the mathematics Instructor, Prof. 'Billy Francis. Today, daughter Joan is in similar trouble. At the Madeira School, across the river from Washington, the girls all denosit money in a school bank, and then draw from it a3 needed. This is supposed to be good training in keening accounts and the fine art of balancing a check book. But Joan just cant make the figures come out right, has exceeded the budget. POLITICAL CH AFF Alf Landon did a lot better for himself in 1940 than in 1936. Dur-ip- g the past fall he brought in several very profitable oil wells in Stafford County, Kas. , . .Judging from recent reports on campaign outlays, the vaunted Hatch purity Act seems about as effective as a sieve. Example: In Missouri the Republicans snent $584,780 this year as compared to $214 093 in 1930: the Democrats 155.272 RS against $180 030 in 1936. Among the GOP contributions was $22000 from the family of Joe Pew, multimillionaire Pennsylvania boss. They also gave $20,000 to the In JOB-SEEKE- w -- st price-fixin- arm. Wheeler got irerested in the matter, got the sena'e to approve an inquiry, and is preparing to dig deeply into the things Arnold was talking about Insiders predi t some startling finds may be made. During the fall a good deal of sentiment developed in congress for an investigation of the Civil Aeronautics Board. The old Civil Aeronautics Authority was thoroughly shaken up by a presidential reorganization order last summer, the Air Safety Board was abolished, and the surviving bureau was put back into the department of commerce. Bitter opposition was , expressed in congress at the time; the fact that three major airline disasters occurred during the fall drew charges that the reorganization had been detrimental to the governments air safety program. Senator McCarran of Nevada may demand an inquiry. The admi- i nistration would oppose such move, and might succeed in blocking it. A LOOK AT ELECTIONS Another investigation that may center around would the 1940 election campaign. The senate campaign fund committee headed by Senator Gillette of Iowa will shortly report on the inquiries it made during and after the campaign. It has not yet drawn up its report, but it is highly possible that it will recommend a further senate investigation with the idea of formulating new legislation to strengthen the Hatch act and the corrupt practices act. Possible also is a senate investigation of the financial resources now available to Great Britain in the new world. develop PLANE EXPECTATION Jan. 7 WASHINGTON, Admiral John H.
