Our foreign policy was not designed to please the Nazi or Fascist regimes And accusations | of “moral aggression” do not need to be taken too serfously when they come from governments guilty of more physical aggressions than one can count Naturally, a great many Americans have spoken their minds free about Nazism. These, no doubt are the “pinpricks” and “insults.” Because we sym- pathize with the victims of German aggression, we have helped them—not much, perhaps, but some. This, of course, explains the “challenges.” . What it is we nave cone which constitutes “moral aggression” is a little harder to decide. Perhaps| the economic aid we have supplied to Britain, which is waging war, would be called secondhand “moral aggression.” Whatever the reaction of the Nazi and Fascist governments, we have no reason to change our | course. So long as our immediate and vital interests are not directly involved, we shall remain neutral in law and nonbelligerent in policy. But such a nation as ours cannot revise its poliey to suit the whims of the tyrants who govern Germany and| Ttaly | mportant to notice just what Berlin and doing. They are addressing a threat to beli ; this country is so afraid States aid to Britain rather 24 This is an unwise line Berlin and “rme to adopt, for threats will not avail. Japan tried that tactic of threats three months ago. It brought swift expansion of the American battle fleet and new embargoes goods for Japan. Threats from the other end of| the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis will only strengthen | the American people's conviction that its resources| th of pol for on must be ced ever more fully at the disposal of Gireat Britain The German government is obviously aware of the implications of the American policy of full aid\ to the Britisn, and has been aware for a year or more. The new outcry is occasioned by the Presi-| dent’s strong message to Congress and by a declara- tion of Ronald H. Cross, British Minister of Shipping, | {ent situation, | going to do. M. T ! ning of another phase of man's conquest of nature reply to these “pinprickb” is that péacetul’ 'i-emmns’ | between the Reich and the United States would be au«ined probably to the breaking point if the Wash- mx.,von government were to act favorably on the Cx'os-.s proposal or in any other way to overstep the bounds which separate inconsequential aid from | “moral aggression.” Our obligation and opportunity is to help the British where need is most imperative. believes and as the Germans also seem to believe, Britain's greatest danger lies in increasing shipping then we should move with all expedition to make aveilable to her the tonnage that is required| and, if necessary, to use our navy as well, to fight off and clear the seas of German submarines, The Axis threat may very well serve a purpose in this country. It should succeed, where to this time everything has failed, in awakening American public opinion to the dangers of the pres- and to the importance of moving on for whatever situation the future losses all fronts to prepare nay bring \l’lnlthvlphm Record) In spite of the amazing progress of both mili- y and commercial aviation in the last five years, it is still correct to say: “They haven't licked the weather.” Commercial planes are grounded more often than we like to admit. There have been days and even weeks in this war when airplanes could not be used effectively in certain areas But aviation is still trying to lick the weather, and still making progress against it. The radio beam and the radio-telephone help fliers to find airports that they could not possibly locate in heavy weather, But neither of these devices helps much against that insidious enemy, the ground fog. con can guide a plane right over a field, but if, when he gets there, a pilot can only see below him a soft gray haze of indeterminate depth, he can't drop through it on the chance of finding a runway. Progress against fog is announced by Dr. Svere Petterssen, Norwegian meteorologist, now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Two of Dr. Petterssen’s colleagues have cleared a path through fog 1,500 feet long, 150 feet wide and 30 feet high. They sprinkled 80 gallons of sulphur chloride through sprays. This causes the fog to fall to the earth as rain. Meteorology is not merely the passive science of studying the weather and finding out what it is It is also entering an active stage of seeking to fit the weather into man's needs. T. experiment is a small but exciting begin- The Irish Naval Bases (New York Times) Great Britain’s need of Irish naval bases is a grim and irrefutable fact, It was proved dramati- cally at the very moment when Winston Churchill was describing the lack of these bases as “a most | heavy and grievous burden which should never have| been placed on our shoulders.” Radio messages flashed the news that a German warship was shell- ing a helpless British convoy in mid-Atlantic; earlier admissions from London had shown that the Ger- |man submarine campaign was, in Mr. Churt.hllls own words becoming “more seérious than the air raiding.” In World War days the British could cope with the submarine menace by basing their destroyers upen Cobh and other Scuthern Irish por Since then the British have surrendered the bases, and Irish neutrality forces them to operate from Western English ports or from the equally inconvenient har- bors in Northern Ireland. Mr. Churchill’s foresight told him years ago that it would be strategic folly for Britain to yield her naval bases in Ireland. Re- mbering his unheeded warnings of long ago, he aks now like a weary Tantalus, pushing his heavy load up a hill that seemed to have no ending. One can only hope that this latest of his many anxieties will not provoke Mr, Churchill into seizing the Irish es by force. It would be a tragedy to revive old | Anglo-Irish enmities when there is still room for | friendly negotiations. The United States proved in the recent deal with the British that naval bases could be leased without any transfer of sovereignty; the British |proved for many years after’ 1921 that they could ccupy naval bases without the slightest impairment |of Ireland’s freedom to govern herself.
