After half a dozen years in Berlin under Hitler’s regime, Miller should have a pretty good working knowledge of the Nazi way of doing business and a compelling view of what they would do once they were able to run Europe and adjacent lands as “a scientific slave State in which they retain for themselves all possi- bilities of military action, all control over important industrial operations, and in which they will be able | to achieve a complete monopoly of scientific and | technical knowledge.”” Buying and selling for half the world, they'd be able to put terrific pressure on | this country and the whole New World. And what Mr. Miller reminds us—with a good | many cases in point—is that they started that pro-| cess some time ago. Hitler must, in the nature of things, continue in a state of aggression, in one form or another, if he is to go on. He must create emergencies endlessly if he is to retain his control. Geared from the beginning to a war economy, he has to continue it. He himself said, in “Mein Kampf,” that “The human race has grown great in war. In peace it would only decay.” What would be next on his list if not this hemisphere? The countries that have tried to do business with him have all had their fingers burned. Under the Nazi barter system, Germany gets the materials it | wants and the countries get promises of goods they | want, or deliveries of goods they either can’t use | or can't afford. | spring of 1938. profitable _trades that would seqm_,unbgl_l_gypble. if, they were not true, 1* 1f iyou should want to try to do buslnes; Hitler yow'd have to expect to let'him tell you what value was to be set on your goods, what kind of marks you might receive, and what members of yuur staff. you'd be allowed to employ. What the Nazis actually hope to do in this country some day, Mr. Miller remarks, is to play one section against another. A German Foreign Office official told him: “Instead of the United States, we | would like to deal with different areas, treating them as separate countries. We would not do much business with the country of New York, but we would buy cotton from the country of New Orleans and sel! finished goods. We would buy fruit and lumber from the country of San Francisco and sell manufactured goods. We would buy packing-house and agricultural products from Chicago in exehange for our manufactured goods.” In other words,they'd ike to unify Europe and divide America. One commodity that Hitler victorious would have to offer South America would be arms: She! might have worn out her peacetime industries, buf she'd have a tremendous plant capacity, Mr. Miller notes, for turning out battle planes, warships, guns, am- munition and tanks. And Latin-American countries waiting to get rid of surplus raw products would snap them up, he suggests. In answer to the possible objection that Germany might hesitate to arm po- tential enemies, Mr. Miller says, well, she never has Indeed, she’s probably glad to be in And he “In the recent campaigns against Yugoslavia jand Greece, for example, both those nations had been chiefly equipped with German war materials. The advancing German soldiers were killed by their own German bullets, but this was all part of Hitler’s game. He doesn't seem to mind. The Greek Army was outfitted with war materials seized from the Austrians when Hitler took control of Vienna in the Yugoslavia had been armed both from Germany and from Czechoslovakia, but had paid for the weapons in essential raw materials which were worth more to Hitler than the lives of some of his soldiers.” They learned, to their cost, what it means to try to do business with Hitler. Both ‘Are Right (Cleveland” Plain’ Dealer) Gen. Ben Lear, who. disciplined some 350 mem- bers of the 35th Division for alleged rowdyism, says he will be satisfied with nothing short of an army which has attained “the highest attainable stan- dards of conduct and combat efficiency.” Representative Dirksen who took cognizance of the incident on the floor of the House the other day | declared he wanted no part of an armed force that was “devoid of the buoyancy and effervescence that makes the young American a great soldier.” The positions of the general and of the member of Congress are in no way irreconcilable. No red- blooded American wants an army made up of mar- tinets but every American citizen who has any pride | whatever in the nation’s armed forces expects their | officers to maintain reasonable discipline and to demand gentlemanly conduct of their men. We are not arguing that Gen. Lear is right in this matter. Without access to all the facts it is impossible to say whether he acted wisely or un- wisely. But his insistence upon high' standards of | conduct must be pleasing ‘to everyone genuinely in- | terested in the development and training of a strong | and efficient armed force. Having in mind certain incidents of the World Three times in two decades, Mr. Miller points out, the Germans have succeeded in living on their debts to the outside world. Between 1919 and 1923 they financed themselves by selling foreigners paper marks “hot from the printing press.” Then, from 1924 to the crash, they kept going by selling long- term bonds to foreign buyers. As the depression deepened, they got short-term bank advances. Then, when their credit was gone, they proceeded to “bor- row” commodities through the schemes Dr. Schacht had such a la.rge hand in promoting, and make War period we have reason to suspect that the soldiers who were disciplined knew they had it coming and were very much less perturbed by the general’s action than were the members of Congress who came so bravely to their defense. In any event it is a matter the Army is entirely capable of handling without the help of Congress. The Treasury Department has notified a ques- tioner that it does not know about any divining rod which could be used in finding money. That torrent of noise you hear is the sighs of the taxpayers.

Embassy in Vichy, who had taken a special trip to North Aftrica to Merry- Go-Round {Continued Irom Page One) one, the Maritime Commission was warned, could ‘go near the ship. What has not leaked out is that last spring, before armed guards were placed on all French ships in American harbors, Admiral Leahy. U. S. Ambassador in Vichy, had promised the French that these ships would not be touched. It is understood he acted on instructions from Washington. So after the Coast Guard boarded the Norman- die and other French vessels, Vichy sent a strong protest to Washing- ton on May 26. The State Department drafted a reply to this note, then decided not to answer it at all. Apparently. it was caught between Leahy's promise and the Coast Guard’s ac- tion. The note still is unanswered. And now the State Department, having got itself in an untenable position, is leaning over backwards to appease Vichy regarding these ships. Also it is going to unusual lengths in using the ships to ap- pease General Weygand in North Africa, REPORT ON WEYGAND When it was first suggested that a certain number of French ships be permitted to load up with goods | for North “Africa, the British, | through Sir Henry Salter, registered vigorous opposition, and Harry| Hopkins promised to intervene witn | the State Department. The State Department, however, insisted that the French would agree to send one of their ships to| the United States for every ship)| we sent to North African waters, | | Venezuela, could carry 56,000 bar- | see Marshal Weygand. He reported that if the United States would send French ships loaded with U. S. goods, Weygand would permit American observers to remain at Dakar, and would not oust Ameri- can consuls from French Africa, even if Hitler demanded it. History can prove whether the State Department is justified. But meanwhile both the British and the, Maritime Commission have very definite views which they are mot: waiting for history to express. FRENCH OIL TANKERS ‘What particularly incenses the British is that the State Depart-| ment is allowing two tankers fo load up with American oil and; aviation gasoline. This will permit the 300-to-400 grounded airplanes in Morocca to be used—possibly | against the British. In the end, the British decided not to make a last ditch fight. “We | have so many other problems of major importance to settle,” they told friends, “that we don't think it best to object further to this.” What the Maritime Commission and Secretary Ickes covet most are the nine French oil tankers now gathering oarnacles in the harbor of Martinique. The Maritime Commission pro- poses chartering them and if nec- essary paying good hard dollars to the French. These tankers, making one trip a month with oil i from | rels a month, which would practi- cally remove Secretary Ickes' fears | |of an ofl shortage. But desperately as oil is needed | , 1lon the Atlantic Coast, the State | Department leans over backward not to offend the French. | NOTE — British sources rcporl‘ SILENCER T.

Reports that Marshal Goering is out of favor and has been confined to his luxurious home at Karinhall have revived in Washington the story of the British Ambassador’s last visit to that home before the war broke. Ambassador Sir Nevile, Hender- son had gone to see Goering in an effort to pacify him. When the| ™ interview was over, Henderson sent the following report to Lord Hali- fax, then Foreign Minister, now Ambassador to Washington: “Though I was in a hurry, he insisted on showing me, with much pride, the great.structural altera- tions which 'he was making in his. house at Karinhall and ‘which in- cludes a new dining room to hold| " an incredible number of guests and to be all marble and hung with| | tapestries.

Tucker | Fred Campen ° Gladys Forrest Jesta M. Timmerman Mrs. F. D. McDonnell Frank K. Hardwick Mamie T. Snyder HOROSCOPE “The stars incline but do not compel” WEDNESDAY, JULY 23 | Good and evil planetary influ-| ences are discerned in the horo-| scope for today. The afternoon isl more fortunate than the morning. Under ' this planetary government there may be much discontent and | a tendency to find fault with both private -and public affairs. HEART AND HOME: Girls should be fairly lucky under this sway which brings new “employ- ment and pleasant associations. It is an auspicious date for meeting young men who will be more accep- table as friends than as devoted swains. There may be an inclina- tion for older women . to look back- | ward instead of forward. It is well to have the mental attitude thwl.‘ now must be made the best time,| that each day must be made mem- orable for fair hopes and kindly acts. Labor troubles affecting wo-| men are prognosticated, for indus- try will call many to defense jobs. BUSINESS AFFAIRS: As wages rise in industries entrusted with defense contracts the cost of living, will advance to an extent that wil be generally realized in the early autumn. Money will be plentiful and prosperity will write happy | history for thousands of persons who benefit from the spread of employment. Taxes will reduce the profits accruing to manufacturers and merchants, but there will be inereased unity in aims of the peo- ple who belong to the greatest ofl| democracies. Warning is given of heavy losses through sabotage and incendiarism next month. NATIONAL ISSUES: Women volunteers for war work will pre- sent opportunities for 'the sutiliza- tion of great power for the nation. The seers emphasize the importance of directing efforts toward the aid of persons who are indirectly -af- fected by war dislocations. In other words the impulse to help the na- ‘tion’s under - privileged should be encouraged for the general good. The poor are always with us and they may be benefited greatly through the awakened conscious- ness of those who are prosperous. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Possible divergence of views may be of temporary concern to Great Britain and the United States. Ex- treme perils may breed impatience regarding delays in our part of meeting ; the vast responsibility of supplying ships and war machines" of many sorts. Mars is in an aspeét’ presag- ing accidents on railways and the high seas. Storms of great violence may add to naval hazards, especi- ally in the Pacific Ocean. Earth- quakes and tidal waves will seem to reflect human violence, Persons whose birthdate it 1s have the augury of a year of im- portant events. Women may prove difficult in their ambition to enter unusual fields of work. Children born on this day prob- ably will have eventful lives. They may be especially concerned with sentimental friendships that are not all disappointing.

C. GORDON nada border on the United Sfat&? Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, in some quarters, but he was told off by two fellow Pacific Coast CIO leaders at last week’s legislative pow-wow in the Capital. Bridges won't forget the incident for a long time. The tongue lashers were Jack Doyle, president of the Seattle Longshoremen and Warehouse ‘Workers (a local of the union head- ed by Bridges), also president of the Washington State Industrial Union Council; and Harry Tucker, secretary-treasurer of the Council. Square-jawed, blue - eyed, Doyle calls himself a “plain working stiff,” talks straight from the shoulder. The younger Tucker is of the same cut. Both are veteran and both dislike and distrust Com- mies—and Harry Bridges. They ran him out of Washington State when he attempted to set himself us as czar of the whole ‘West Coast, and they are deter- mined to keep -him out. That was what the shooting was about in| the Capital showdown. MEETING WITH MURRAY The day after the legislative con- ference, Doyle and Tucker made an appointment with Phil Murray to discuss the West Coast situa-| tion. They told the CIO president | what they thought of Bridges, his “party line” warring against the | defense program, his support of the outlaw strike at the North | ture Syndicate, Inc.) American Aviation plant, and his leftist-backed autocratic rule of the longshoremen. ‘They also intimated that they suspected Bridges of being respon- sible for the absence from the Cap- ital of William Dalrymple, Port- land CIO regional director; and Richard Francis, Washington State CIO director. These are former United Mine Workers officials who also feel strongly about Bridges. When they finished, Murray said Bridges had an appointment with him the next day and invited them to be present. “Sure, we'll come,” was the reply. “And we'll tell him to his face what we've been telling you.” They did, in a big way, while Murray listened silently. Bridges defended himself hotly. Finally, Murray asked them all to return in ten days, when he said he would | have the mysteriously omitted Dal- hymple and Francis present. NOTE—When they received Mur- ray’s invitation, Dalrymple and’ Francis wired back that they would | be glad to confer with him but not if Bridges were present, since they would have nothing to do with him under any circumstances.
