That seems to dispose of the military threat As to the economic threat these words appeared in the Forum last June over my signature: !'With raw materials or substitutes therefor such as artificial rubber and a population sufficiently large and ingenious to practice efficient division of labor a nation has all the essentials for a high standard of living North America has all these things and for that reason we need not fear 'competition with slave labor' or anything else that goes on in foreign countries We can provide ourselves with a high standard of living" I submit that these two statements refute propaganda which would put us into Europe's war To me they are so obviously true that I question the intelligence and the motives of the interventionists who deny them Richard S Morrison land-base- Some months ago after it had been revealed that the German consulates here were being used to cloak a horde of political and propaganda agents the president prodded by the state department and the F B I closed them up The Germans retaliated with aimi lar action Thia however did not affect the German embassy in Washington Each country maintained the pretense of friendly relations by a continuance of diplomatic representation in the other's capital The difference is that the German staff in Washingrton is larger than the American staff in Berlin There is the further difference that in Berlin the American representatives In- dulged in no espionage or propaganda tivities at all On the other hand while the German embassy in Washington keeps its skirts clear on the surface there is a street suspicion that to it cluster agents whose work is similar to that of the German consuls whom we sent home It also lierns clear that unless Di' Thomsen the German charge here were a devoted and trusted adherent of Hitler as well as a very able representative of the nazi party he would riot have been allowed to stay all this time in a post where it is more important that Hitler have a trusted and efficient MILII than any other Amen-- can diplomats abroad never engage In espionage or propaganda activities but such activities are an inaeparable invariable and important part of every German mission everywhere in the world While the state department asserts it has no reason to believe that such activities are now being cloaked by the German embassy there certainly is no reason to believe they are not Considering our hostile intentions toward Hitler it is clear that the Germans derive a benefit from the present status if only because information is so much more &mean-hi- e here for them than it is there for us ' Copyright 1941 by the Baltimore Sun i Christopher Billopri Says Just Cuff Linke They are just a pair of cuff links that t somebody lends you and tells you to slip in an envelope and mail back to them- - That a seems simple enough So you slip them into an envelope and take them to the post office It occurs that to be on the safe side you ahould register the envelope So you take it to the registry wiladow and the clerk inquires what is inside and you reply øCpft links" The clerk looiue horrified He says you are taking a grave risk He !keys there are registered packages that weigh as much as 75 pounds that might be placed on top of your cuff links He adVilleS you to pack the cuff links more securely SO you consider what sort of a packing would make the cuff links safe from the weight of 70 pounds Surely a pasteboard box would never do What about a wooden box?

action who has studied world conditions and senses the perils confronting popular governments throughout the earth will approve of the president's address to an assemblage of international labor leaders representing 33 countries delivered last Wednesday in the east room of the executive mansion at Washington He called attention to the generally recognized fact that the western hemisphere is included in "the nazi scheme denied of world domination" no longer by totalitarian leaders in whose "new order" only "masters and slaves" will be permitted to exist He reminded his hearers that no people ever obtained or retained the liberties to which the normal and intelligent portion of humanity aspires without taking risks and making sacrifices The president made it clear to the international labor leaders and especially to delegates from labor organizations functioning and flourishing in this republic that Americans cannot evade their responsibilities in the present emergency but must prepare to perform effec five service in every particular—composing differences promoting unity producing to the limit working three shifts a day when necessary settling grievances by arbitration and delivering goods to "the battlefronts of the entire world" Labor unions and labor leaders owe it to themselves and their systems as well as to their respective nations and civilization to take an active part in the movement to destroy Hitlerism and liberate the millions of men women and children already in bondage and facing slavery for generations to come This cannot be done unless men forget their personal political and petty differences while the sanctuaries and the very existence of unionized labor are threatened The president called attention to the deplorable fact that "there are still some misguided people among us—thank God they are but few—both industrialists and leaders of labor who place personal advantage above the welfare of their nation who place the profits they may make from civilian orders above their obligation to the national defense There are still some who deliberately delay defense output by using their 'economic power' to enforce acceptance of their demands rather than use the established machinery of law for the mediation of industrial disputes" No names were mentioned but everyone present or listening in knew exactlir who were doing those very things—none better than the offenders themselves It was a timely and masterly address' The issues were clearly defined and the :zeeds of the unconquered nations were emphatically stated But words will not relieve the situation no matter how elofluently uttered It is time for action delay The ale danger brooks no further pledges made by congress to render aid :to opponents of the fuehrer must be- kept LLet actions talk henceforth Let us- show we "inefficient are not the Hitler that elements irreconcilable of eonglomeration and individuals" he and Goering have told the

party senators on the other side of the capitol and party men generally are exhibiting no eagerness to take up the round robin rebellion movement started In the house A story Is going around the Republican cloakroom that the original idea upon which Will kie acted (forcing repeal of the neutrality act) came from Senator Bridges He had the legislative drafting service prepare a repealer bill for him more than a month ago sold it to Senators Gurney and Austin But three days before these Republicans planned to come out with it Mr Willkie grabbed their ball and streaked down the field Some personal dissatisfaction with Willkie even on his own side of the interventionist fence has been caused by this Incident—but it illustrates as welt as anything that Republican interventionist
