The idea that recent neutrality legislation constitutes a one-sid- ed measure, designed to help Great Britain and France, is hard to down because of the spotlight that played upon the repeal of the arms embargo. While legislation permits the belliger- ents to purchase arms in_ this country, which is a gain for the Allies, it also removes American shipping from the Atlantic, which means that the Allied nations must replace the tonnage with their own ships.

The entire affair illustrates ithe difficulty of framing legis- iJation airtight to violations of the spirit, if not the letter, of the law. Information collected in the interest of national defense re- veals that the Army and the Navy, the industrial Northeast, a few Middle Western States, and the aircraft plants of California and Washington, will be the chief financial beneficiaries of war or- the sums being spent by this na- tion for national defense. In an industrial _ triangle, !Pittsburgh, Wilmington, Dela- } ware and Boston, are located the |plants which provide nearly two- thirds of the munitions that would be required if this country becomes involved in war. Two- thirds of the planes would be made on the Pacific Coast, on the basis of present activity, but the engines would be manufactured chiefly in the East. The concen- tration of industrial plants upon which the national defense de- jpends is not altogether desirable but there are extreme difficul- ties involved in any plan to scat- ter them. Because of its import- ace in war times, the industrial area will be one of the chief con- cerns of our defense plans. : Cora Contracts ' fdf’ onstruction of ithe greatest aviation base in the HEST COLDS Torelieve distresseasily, ls MONROE THEATER Dick Powell—Ann Sheridan NAUGHTY BUT NICE and TELL NO TALE Matinee—Balcony 10c, Or- chestra 15-20c; Night—15-25c i | } ! i { H i | | She was fined $36 for violating | \three laws—shooting from an automobile; shooting from a pub- | |lic road and killing birds pro- | tected by state law.
