0 Hitler Talk May Reveal Key to Peace Welles’ Conference Might Bring Check on Chaos By DAVID LAWRENCE. Bignificant news comes from Ger- many when it is revealed that a personal conference between Herr Hitler and Sumner Welles, Under- secretary of State, is being arranged for next week. When Mr. Welles left here it was assumed that he weuld have no difficulty in talking with the heads of the British and French govern- ments, but some observers were not so sanguine that he would have an oppor- David Lawrence. tunity to meet with the head of the | German Reich. The impression prevails in well- informed quarters here that Premier THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1940, The Capital Parade Brandeis Relives Youth Watching Federal Insurance Investigation By JOSEPH ALSOP and ROBERT KINTNER. ‘The Monopoly Commitee’s insurance investigation is under bitter attack as a New Derl effort to strike at one of the great citadels of American business. It has, however, at least cne powerful defender. Justice Brandeis is reliving his youth, as it were, watching the ine vestigators. Like Chief Justice Hughes, Louis Dembitz Brandeis made his first public mark as an insurance reformer. The savings bank insutance plan which he fought for and established in Massachusetts is still & monu- meut of wise and practical planning. In his retirement from the Supreme Court he has not cut him- MODEL self off from the young men who fiMoNG- & have always gone to him for in- GOVERNMENT spiration. It was natural, there- INQUIRIES O\ fore, for the insurance investiga- 3 tion to be brought to his attention ;md“l‘or him to take an interest n it. Because of his judicial posi- tion he has not been able to give light or counsel to Gerhard Gesell, E < the Securities and Exchange Com- i mission official detached to serve the Monopoly Committee in the insur- ance field, but he has followed the hearings with the utmost attention, closely studied the massive report recently issued and frafkly expressed the opinion that the investigation is a model among Government in- quiries. And as a mark of his approval he has twice received Gesell, who also concluded the 8. E. C. investigation of the Richard Whitney case. Most of the bitterness against the insurance investigation has originated in the huge Metropolitan Life, one of the biggest corpora- tione in the United States. Alone among the insurance companies, Metropolitan has taken the stand that the investigation is intended to “get” them, which has naturally resulted in bad relations between the investigators and Metropolitan Life officisls. The object of the investi- Mussolini is responsible for the evi- Welles. It will be noted that Mr. Mussolini telephoned to Herr Hitler | within 24 hours after the Welles mis- sion was announced. It is also taken for granted here that Mr. Mussolini’s interest in paving the way for Sumner Welles might have been due | to a friendly suggestion from the Vatican authorities nearby in Rome. | On the whole, there is satisfac- tion here that Mr. Welles is going to have a chance to get a first-hand look at the whole diplomatic situ- ation. He knows Dr. Dieckmann, the former German Ambassador to the United States, who is in Berlin now. Mr. Welles is the type of diplomat with whom it might be supposed the Germans would not mind discussing matters very frank- ly. For he is not likely to betray confidences from one belligerent to another. Seeks Peace Approach. What can Mr. Welles do? Obvi- ously he goes with the whole-hearted support of President Roosevelt to get some kind of a peace formula going as soon as possible, so as to make unnecessary the spring offensive with the undoubted heavy loss of life that might ensue. But what kind of a formula can he devise? Mr. Welles is too shrewd a diplomat to be deterred by the enormity of the questions that gation is to analyze the insurance companies’ use of the immense | economic power conferred on them by their control of billions of capital dent intention of the Nazi leaders.| to give cordial welcome to Mr | o e Foe T | Anecdote From Illinois for investment. A belated, but entertaining, explanation has just reached Wash- ington of Mayor F. H. La Guardia’s entry into the Illinois Republican primary. At the time, this was widely touted as a serious move by La Guardia. Assistant Secretary of State Adolf A. Berle, jr, who is actually quite busy enough tending to his knitting at the State Department, was even strangely pointed to as the political strategist of both La Guardia's and Cordell Hull's presidential candidacies. It appears, however, that La Guardia’s name was entered without his knowledge, as a sort of gamble by opponents of Thomas E. Dewey. The trick was turned at the last minute. Workers who had been soliciting names for Vice President Garner's Democratic primary petitions were hastily hired to get names for La Guardia, In order to catch the deadline for filing, they had to go into the Ttalian sections of Chicago, set up headquarters and quite literally shout out the windows for La Guardia admirers to come in and sign up. Just enough signatures were collected in time for the petitions to be rushed to Springfield and filed, with an hour or so to spare. Mayor La Guardia’s first comment on the use of his name was the question: “Why didn't they enter me in the Democratic primary, t00?” Yesterday, however, he announced he was filing notice of his refusal to run. His statement termed the crop of Republican presidential hopefuls “a poor one, indeed.” Funds for Finland's Fight Sponsors of Fighting Funds for Finland, the organization collecting much-needed money with which the Finns can purchase arms to resist WE MUST GET Soviet aggression, are disturbed by former President Hoover's latest move. Hoover recently announced that his Finnish relief fund would transmit cash donations to the Finnish government, for military or other uses. Hoover’s Finnish relief fund have to be settled. He will try if he can for the formulation of an ap- | proach to a method of settlement, | rather than a concrete discussion of peace terms in detail. One of the principal allied war aims, of course, is the giving of an | assurance that Europe will not live | with a sword of Damocles hanging over her head all the time. Some method of guaranteeing freedom | from threats of force will have to be worked out. The Nazis know this as well as do the British. Neither side wants to be under the constant ex- pense of heavy armament. As matters stand today, the Nazi government desires an honorable peace. It cannot say so publicly. As matters stand today, also the British and French do not feel they can lay down their arms unless substantial reduction of armament is assured and the menace to peace is removed. | Many people in Britain and France will not campaign, however, for the kind of money the Finns most des- perately require. Moreover, Hoover’s | new policy was announced after i Finland had conferred with Hoover and had pointed out there was no need of competition. A drive for Fighting Funds for PFinland is now in progress and confusion between the two organizations is feared. (Released by the Ncrth American Newspaper Alliance, Inc.)

It is here that America comes into the picture. The United States, according to the Roosevelt conception which can | very readily be explained by Mr. Welles, has a deep interest in the change. America, too, might be will- ing in the interest of peace to extend financial aid to rehabilitate Europe. The Welles mission is of tran- scendant importance. This will be- come apparent as news developments next week and the week after reveal the powerful influence that America can wield, if it desires, in the interest | of an early peace. ¢ (Reproduction Rights Reserved.)

In the Great Lakes, especially in | Lake Erie, the wall-eye is very | abundant, and though there seems | to be a great number of them in streams, they are really Great Lakes fish. Having a wide range, this fish has been given many other names be- side that of wall-eye. Some call it the dory, others the yellow pike, and some pickerel; in Northern Indiana it is known as the jack salmon: in the Mississippi Valley as the jack and the blowfish. The wall-eye pike loves the clear water with rock and gravel, sand and hard clay bottom. This fish is greedy and voracious. The minnows are consumed by the millions and the young of the whitefish and other important food fishes are always in demand. Even crawfishes during their season go to make the wall-eye satisfied with its bill of fare. The wall-eye varies greatly in size, possibly when its food is not abun- dant. The maximum length is about 3 feet and the weight about 25 pounds. The weight usually runs about 10 pounds and the average taken in Lake Maxinkuckee from 3 to 7 pounds. ‘The spawning time is in the early spring, as soon the the ice melts, in shoal water usually on the margins of the bars or where gravel or hard bottoms are present.

GOULD LINCOLN. The first presidential preferential primary—in New Hampshire on March 12—will produce no real con- tests. It will, however, bring Presi- dent Roosevelt's name before the voters for the first time as a candidate for a third-term nom- ination. His name will be on the primary bal- lot — unless the President asks that it be with- drawn, which he can do up to the night before the primary. A slate of delegates in- structed f o r G. Gould Lincoln. Roosevelt has been entered. After the printing of the ballots—even if a candidate withdraws—the name would still be on the ballot, though withdrawal probably would have the effect of leaving the slate of dele- gates unpledged. Two Farley-pledged delegates have been entered in the New Hampshire primary and two unpledged dele- gates. They may be whisked out of the race against the Roosevelt slate before the primary. The Roosevelt slate, engineered by John L. Sullivan, candidate for Governor | on the Democratic ticket in 1938 and newly appointed Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, has the backing of the Democratic organization and should win without trouble. Vice President Garner had strong {riends among the New Hampshire Democrats and they might have put on a real fight. The understanding, however, is that the Garnerites were willing to let Farley have the eight delegate votes of New Hampshire— and then Mr. Sullivan spilled the beans for the Farleyites, going into the State and threatening to dump out the organization leaders with a Roosevelt-pledged delegation. And so the third termers are to have first blood in the first presidential preferential primary. Unless, to be sure, the President should say some- thing which would eliminate him from the presidential race prior to March 12. Bridges Favorite Son. On the Republican side, Thomas E. Dewey, Senator Taft of Ohio and Senator Vandenberg of Michi- gan have all stepped aside to leave |the New Hampshire delegation to Senator Bridges—the favorite son candidate. The delegation, with the acquiescence of Senator Bridges, is to run instructed. In fact, Sena- tor Bridges urged that it be unin- structed. But, nevertheless, the dele- gation will be expected to support Senator Bridges in the Republican National Convention on the early ballots, or until he takes himself out of the race. One Dewey- pledged candidate for delegate at large, Mr. Gile of Nashua, has filed and has refused to get out of the race, even though asked to do so candidate, however, is up against the party organization and his chances for making a real showing are slimmer than a hibernating bear. The second presidential preferen- tial primary—in Wisconsin on April 2—contains the elements which go to make up a real contest. First, | Roosevelt and Garner slates of dele- | gates have been entered on the | Il)emocmtlc side. Second, Vanden- berg and Dewey slates have filed on the Republican side. As pointed out |in this column in the past, no one knows what the La Follette Progres- sives will do. They are at liberty to vote either in the Democratic or Republican primary—and what they do may make a lot of difference in the final count. It has been sup- posed that if these Progressives go into the Democratic primary they will support the Reosevelt slate of delegates. How they would react to Dewey and Vandenberg, if they went in numbers into the Republican pri- mary, is & guess. “Stop Dewey” Move Denied. Senator Taft and Senator Vanden- berg have both vigorously denied they have entered into an alliance to “stop” Mr. Dewey. The fact is, however, that Senator Taft has re- mained out of the Wisconsin pri- mary and left the Dewey opposition —and possibly the Taft supporters— free to concentrate in favor of Van- denberg and against the New Yorker. There is no doubt that the Vanden- berg supporters are quite confident of victory—and they may have it. If that happened, it would be first blood for Vandenberg and against Dewey in these primary rows. On the other hand, should Dewey win in Wisconsin, and a week later pick up the Illinois preference primary in his stride, as he will do, the New Yorker would have a real lead in the race for the G.

The Roosevelt third-term slate of dele- gate candidates, which will vote for Stalking Horse Favorite Son Candi- date Charles Sawyer, may yet be tackled by Vice President Garner. No decision is expected on the part of the Garnerites for another 10 days or two weeks.

In the delegate-at-large list there are several Democratic leaders who are known to be against a renomi- nation for the President. Fireworks in Illinois. The Illinois primaries so far as Democrats are concerned are now promising an amazing lot of fire- works. The Kelly-Nash machine in Chicago, which put the Presi- dent's name in the preference_pri- mary, has run into open hostility from the Stelle-Adamowski faction. Stelle is Lieutenant Governor and Adamowski is Democratic leader of the State Legislature. There is reason to believe that this may help the Garner candidacy. And if Garner gets a substantial vote, even though the President wins the primary race, it will be a setback for the third termers, who have boasted the President will defeat the Vice President 10 to 1 or more in Illinois.

All nations which have neglected building those nice little fences afound their territory are hustling now as'fast as their means permit, Rumania has been busy bullding a steel and concrete fence for several months, Her trouble is that she has so many open docrs for the enemy to walk in that she does not know which to barricade first. A fortification line along the River Pruth on the western side of Bessarabia was completed some time ago. It is not very strong because the terrain is such that it offers no natural obstacles to an invading army. Hence it must haye a system of blockhouses and fortifications in a flat territory. This line, in the event of a conflict with the U, 8. 8. R., will hold as long as the army manning it can hold against airplanes and tanks. There are no hills and no marshes to assist the resisting forces. Just the concrete works. The second line which King Carol has ordered built is on the Bulgarian border. The Danube forms a natural obstacle, but, a por- tion of the Bulgarian-Rumanian boundary, south of Dobrudja, has no such natural obstacles. That portion has been stro.gly fortified in the last few months and the Rumanian general staff hopes it will stand up better than during the last war. At the present time, the fortifications on the former Rumanian- Polish border, now the Soviet-Rumanian border, are being hastened. The Moscow government has kindly allowed several German divisions to police that frontier since last December, and the Rumanians believe that police force might try to get into their country to police the whole of Rumania, Carpathians Form Barrier The Hungarian-Rumanian border offers the best natural defense. The Carpathian Mountains form a barrier which might give a good deal of trouble to any invading army. It is true that during the last war the Germans managed to break through the passes, but the German victory was assured only after Field Marshal von Mackenzen managed to cross the Danube at several points and threatened the forces which were defending the Carpathians from the rear. Despite the formidable natural obstruction which this chain of mountains offers, the Rumanians are strengthening them by the erection of pillboxes, blockhouses and other fortifications as have been used by the Finns on the Mannerheim Line. The Russians are building the “Lenin Lines” in the Far East and the Middle East. In the Far East they have completed the line between Korea and Vladivostok, on Possiet Bay. A new military railway and a military road are being constructed from Vladivostok to that bay. A new naval base also is being constructed on the mainland near the base, which was known as Imperatorsky during the czarist regime. This base faces the Japanese portion of the Island of Sakhaln., U.

But immigration quotas are so filled that their chances }o( entering in the next 30 years are slim. Yet those Czecho-Slovaks who know how to make glass eyes could enter the United States on an immigration visa at once. But none | are forthcoming. The glass eye industry is a very specialized one and used to be an exclusive monopoly of Czecho- Slovakia. It requires more skill | and knowledge to make a “banker’s | eye” than most people realize. When the war between the allies and Germany started, the allies established a strict embargo on all the exports from Germany to the rest of the world The glass | eves manufactured in Czecho-Slovakia came under the restrictions | which apply to all German products, and the United States was caught | short on the glass eye supply. | The Department of Commerce talked to the State Department, | which in turn communicated with the Department of Labor to lift the | immigration quota bans on those aliens who know- Aow to manufacture | glass eyes. A way out was found. But the Germans refuse to give passports to those specialists who are anxious to come to America. Not only do they refuse to permit | them to leave the country, but they won’t allow any agent to approach | them with a view to smuggling them out of the country. | { | Drys Told Liquor Dispute Hints D.

Into a make for comfort and HeadlineFolk And What They Do B. J. Gould Picks Up Where Younghusbend Left Off in Tibet By LEMUEL F.PARTON. This item from Tibet about B. J. Gould giving Ling-Ergh La-Mu- Tan-Chu a cuckoo clock doesn’t sound like very hot news for the cables, but there's more to it than meets the eye. For nearly 30 years, Mr. Gould, a shadowy personage, rarely in the news, has been Bri- tain’s trouble-shooter among the many millions of Buddhist peoples, officially designated as - “political agent.” In the enthronement of little Ling-Ergh, etc., as Dalal Lama, without the usual drawing of names from a golden vase, both Great Britain and China win against other Far Fastern interests, and being close-in with the regency of 150,000,- 000 people at the gateway to India is a matter of considerable political importance. At the colonial office in Pekin there are registered 160 minor reincarnated gods, living in the persons of the Grand Lamas, and they form a matrix of both spiritual and temporal power which both Great Britain and China fully understand. Precedent was broken when little Ling-Ergh, reincarnation of the Dalai Lama who died in 1933, was found by divination in a peasant’s cave in China, instead of in Tibet, as customarily, for the last few cen= turies. Mr. Gould was on hand, to follow through on the precedent= breaking, shepherded Ling-Ergh's gorgeous yellow brocade caravan over the roof of the world and, at Lhasa, seat of his new throne, gave him not only a cuckoo clock but a toy automobile, Ling-Ergh sat cross- | legged on his throne and blessed Mr. Gould's silk scarf. Mr. Gould picked up where Sir Francis Younghusband left off. | Penetrating the wilderness of Tibet in 1904, Col. Younghusband brought to Britain a sharp realization of the importance of keeping up its fences in that neighborhood. it was in 1907 that Mr. Gould entered the civil service and became an empire scout in remote regions of India and Tibet. He worked out from the political department of the government of India, answering a'riot call from some faroff moun- tain wilderness, but more frequently getting there ahead of it. He was a captain of the Simla Rifles in his earlier years, but has | been mainly busy with overlapping | religious and political diplomacy. | He spent most of his time in India, | but was definitely assigned to Tibet | in 1935, when the hunt for the new | Dalai Lama got under way.
