YEARS The peculiar Americans, an astute foreign ob- server once said, love to honor one of their dis- tinguished citizens by making him President and then do their best to work him to death while he is “enjoying” that high office It is not that the typical American has a strain of sadistic cruelty in his make-up which results wce of the presiden- because every in this tendency to make the [ tial office a killing one Rather it is citizen seems to feel that he has a share in the presidency, even if he voted the current incumbent Perhaps this is a healthy sign of the potency of American democracy. But mutiply this sense of proprietorship by 130,000,000 and the volume of the burden resting upon the shoulders of the man in the White House becomes evident The foreign visitor's observation is apposite as Franklin D. Roosevelt begins his eighth year as President. Behind him some of the toughest years which ever fell to the lot of an Amer- jean chief executive, excluding perhaps the war presi- dencies of Lincoln and Wilson s tRposeyg)t fhag wagpde sthyough with little or particularly are no loss of physical vigor.

The lines of his face are etched. But he does not look like one his daily tasks. The testimony of his physician supports the evidence of the camera With the possible exception of a very few of Americans are able to prevent the more ardent Roosevelt haters glad that their President has been his job from overwhelming him He has endured successfully burdens which have crushed some of the younger men in his circle. He has met defeat, sometimes with a frown, but more often with good nature, frequently turning again toward the same objective with good Dutch persis- tency. He has not been too greatly elated by vic- tories, because a man with his experience in public life knows that a triumph today may presage a rebuff tomorrow. He can “Roose’ jokes.” grin at His friends delight to bring him new ones Whatever the future may have in store for Franklin D. Roosevelt, whatever the definitive esti- mate which history may place upon the record of his administration, he is certain to be known as one President a tough job could not down. C \‘\ \l)\ \l‘ WAR from the World War, but in This war is very different not only in the pattern of actual hostilities, o good results, o —— the demands it is making on belligerent peoples. I’ The Canadians, in particular, are having to revise drastically their notions of what is involved modern warfare. The chief demands made on Wworld Var were for troops and m-] ! Today there in Canada in the tain agricultural products. very small number of men training, and only division on the way, by easy stages, to the front But in contrast to 1914-1918, Canada is becom- ing the backbone of certaih industrial efforts essen- to victory in war. Much more an industrial| country than many persons realize, Canada already has increased her output five and even ten fold in s is notably true of wool clothing and blankets, and presumably is true also of auto- motive products, although these are war materials and precise figures are not available. In addition to this a greatly increased demand | for farm products is anticipated. The biggest chnng(’ from World War days, however, is in the plans for aviation schools in Canade, It is the ideal place for | that purpose, remote from enemy attacks, well pro- vided close to United. States aircraft industries resources they repre-j is only one tial many lines ds with a and technical the sent Most of this is less heroic than getting into uni- form and marching off to war. 'But it is fully as essential to a successful war effort. As they begin o realize it, Canadians are no longer puzzled by the refusal to receive many potential volunteers. Some may be greatly needed, but not now [n the meantime, Canada is becoming granary, i industrial and an aviation center for the British Commonwealth. lay manpower a base, Wartime Foreign Trade (Cincinnati Enquirer) When the foreign trade situation is considered as a whole, it becomes obvious that the United States does not automatically benefit by the war in Europe. The war is causing a profound disturb- ance of foreign trade, hurtful as well as helpful in some aspects, Only intelligent utilization of new opportunities will offset the hindrances which war imposes upon our peacetime structure of foreign trade. The Foreign Commerce Committee of the Cham- ber of Commerce of the United States has uttered a word of caution against too great expectations of increased trade with South America as a result of the shutting off of German exports and the pros- pective decline of British shipments. As the com- mittee points out, South American countries are losing export trade as a result of the war, and con- sequently will be less in position to finance imports. The building up of great quantities of blocked funds has resulted in the past from similar situations. In order for the United States to inherit intact the South American import trade which Germany and England are being forced to relinquish, it would be necessary for this nation to provide an adequate substitute for the foreign markets now closed to South American products. Of course, an increase of trade between the North and South American continents will follow naturally as a result of the economic isolation of the western hemisphere. But it remains for American interests to exploit it ju- diciously Meanwhile, on the other side of the ledger must be considered the fact that the increase in war risks on all ocean routes imposes new costs on ocean ship- ments, thereby hindering foreign trade to that ex- tent. Also, investments in foreign countries are made subject to new wartime taxation, as are ac- crued profits. These circumstances make it unlikely that the United States will enjoy an increase in foreign trade as a result of the war without expend- ing considerable effort to protect our advantages, and make the best of our opportunities. The facili- tles of the Export-Import Bank might well be en- larged as a phase of that process. The Browder Case (New York Times) Earl Browder has been found guilty of using in 1937 and 1938 a passport obtained on the basis of a false statement, and he has been sentenced to four years in jail and a fine of $2,000. Some per-' sons will think the penalty too severe in relation to the offense, but there can be no doubt that Mr. Browder was guilty as charged. Nor can his offense be set aside as a merely “technical” one. Federal prosecutor swered correctly the application question that he answered falsely—when he declared that he had no previous passport—his use of prior fraudulent pass- ports would have been immediately disclosed. If there was any bias against Browder op the ground that he is a Communist there is nothing in the court record to disclose it. Every member of the jury, as the court noted when Mr. Browder pointedly called himself a Communist, swore that he would not let such a consideration influence him. Membership in the Communist party should not be allowed to prejudice any man's case in court; | but neither can it be used as.a ground of immunity, by raising a false issue of political persecution, when the laws of the country have been violated. ....... e — |ation and courage. *courage | treachery. trade by conclealing conditiqns in| As the pointed out, had Browder an- ' MR fl;roscope ['he stars inc line but do =ot compel” I TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6 This should be a fairly fortunate | day in planetary direction.
