A realization of this simple truth seems to be dawning on some of the leaders of thought in Great Britain. The result is that the American war debt, dead as the dodo all these years, : is in a-fair way to be revived and paid, at least in part. The reason for this surprising change is not a pricking of Britain’s commercial conscience, but a bad case of fright. The European situation is full of terrors. Britain recently found, to her humiliation, that the lesser breeds without the law just aren’t afraid of her any more. A desperate flurry of rearmament is taking place as a result. J. L. Garvin, editor of the London Observer, and England’s most respected and influential publicist, announced the other day that England’s only hope is to haul the American debt out of the bag and settle it. His argument is worth looking at. He begins by pointing out that England must rearm swiftly and extensively. Her very existence depends on it. Army, navy, and air force need vast expansion and they need it at once. England, however, is short of skilled labor in some trades, and even shorter of certain specialized kinds of ma- chinery. The necessary rebuilding cannot be done at home within the time available. So, says Mr. Garvin—settle the debt, and do it at once, so that America’s vast manufacturing resources can be tapped. During the war, American munitions were indispensable to British success; they are no less indispensable today. Get the debt paid and they would become available. “The United States, whose potentiality of aircraft produc- tion is equal to that of all the rest of the world put together, could supply us with a thousand first-line planes, or more,” says Mr. Garvin, “with light auxiliary vessels and their arma- mei.t as required by the navy under the new conditions; with much of the equipment for the regular army and the terri- torials ; with the gauges and machine tools which home industry alone cannot supply in sufficient quantity at the necessary speed.” England made one miscalculation about that debt. She assumed that the world was going to remain at peace and that John Bull would need no more help from Uncle Sam—in which case, of course, gypping Uncle Sam would be just a pleasant little game. It hasn’t worked out that way. So we may yet see that debt settled—Mr. Garvin has an uncanny way of forecasting British policy—and find ourselves, too, once more tied by strong commercial ties to the fortunes of the British empire. Railroads’ Comeback | R. V. Fletcher, general counsel of the Association of Amer- ican Railroads, spoke optimistically about the railroads the} other day in Chicago. He predicted that in the present cycle there will be few, if any, additional railroad bankruptcies. Not only is freight traffic, measured in carloadings so far this year, approximately 10 per cent above the corresponding period a year ago, said Mr. Fletcher, but gross revenues are up 14 per cent and the net railway operating income is 17 per cent better than it was 12 months back. Several important railroads, he reported, are discharging! their obligations to the RFC and at the same time are reducing their indebtedness to the Railroad Credit corporation, a private lending agency for the more prosperous roads, All of which would seem to indicate that modernization and refinancing, together with a general upturn in business, are really just about all the railroads need to come back. It Doesn’t Happen Here If you’re one who gets a bit excited now and then about the status of your liberties as an American, you ought to con- sider the new Nazi criminal code, which seems to be a model of persecution. A 70-year-old resident of Gotha, for instance, was sentenced to 15 months in prison for writing to a friend in Switzerland, ex- pressing himself freely about certain Nazi party leaders. A Kiel professor got two months in jail and a fine of 100 marks for “criticizing the form of state in non-factual manner.” Still another German citizen was sentenced to 10 months in jail because he asserted that, during one of the recent butter and egg shortages, deliveries were being made to party leaders just the same. Now drop back to America, You have only to consider this question: : In what country today could a man label the chief executive “liar” and “double-crosser” and get away with it? Test Before Release Henceforth, prisoners seeking parole from Michigan prisons must pass a systematical mental examination before being re- leased to society. i “Only a trained psychiatrist can weed out the borderline cases,” says Joseph C.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUN WEDNESDAY. JULY 29, 1936 Behind the Scenes Washington ing Activities of His Uncle... Roper Looks After His Friends .. . Strike Gives Insight Into Bitter | Fecling of Labor Factions .. . Nazis on Their Best Behavior for Olympic Games, By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, July 29.—No man has} ever been denied the presidency be-} cause of his uncle's occupation. The effort of Pennsylvania Demo-j crats to strike at Gov. Alf Landon by publicizing the fact that his uncle, William T. Mossman, is a lobbyist for the anti-labor Jones & Laughlin Steel Corporation can hardly be expected to switch many votes. ‘i Even if it is proved, as charged, that Mossman worked effectively against the Pennsylvania legislature, no fair- minded person will blame the Kansas governor for that. But the attack is a prelude, never- theless, to a concerted New Deal ef- fort to picture Landon as a pal or tool of the “big interests.” One phase of this attempt will come in connection with Landon’s antici- pated early campaign speech at his birthplace, West Middlesex, Mercer county, Pa. Mercer county is in the congres- sional district of Congressman Dennis Driscoll, who, in the famous “Elmer” incident, first revealed that electric power companies were caus- ing bales of fake telegrams to be sent to congress against the Wheeler-Ray- | burn holding company bill. Power companies have joined with Joe Grundy's Pennsylvania Manufac- turers’ Association in the effort to beat Driscoll this year and Demo- crats will use the expected Landonj rally to try to tie the Republican candidate in with the power inter- ests and the effort to lick Driscoll. ee % Roper Looks After Friends Perhaps Secretary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper is more helpful to the president than are the other cabinet members. Or perhaps not. Cabinet members and others have been making suggestions or recom- mendations for membership on the Maritime Authority, whose job will be to build up and supervise the Amerl- can merchant marine. Hardly any- one suggested more than five names. But Uncle Dan submitted 118 names! Whether any of them were underlined or asterisked isn’t known. But it's understood that the secretary had told quite a number of people| that he would be glad to mention} them to the president for such a job} and he seems to have kept his prom- | ises. * * * Labor Bitterness Bared Evidence of the bitterness of inter-} nal dissension in organized labor was | provided during the recently settled Strike of the United Electrical and Radio Workers, a new industrial union at the RCA plant in Camden, N.
