PRIMARIES Germany’s sudden invasion of both Denmark and Norway last week overshadowed all domestic issues in the nation’s capital. Of- ficial reaction to the surprising |German aggresion was guarded. | Proclamations were issued by the | President! extending the ban on American shipping to the new |belligerent areas and impound- jing the money and assets of the tacked. The German attempt to incor- porate these two small neutral nations into the economic regime of the Reich created a profund impression. _ Slowly, the idea is becoming accepted that after the war, regardless of which side wins, the world will ‘be divided into closely organized economic groups. Just. what position the | United States will occupy in re- \lation to the groups depends, of | mintes. If Germany wins, it is a fore- igone conclusion that world trade as it was known twenty-five j years ago, will be seriously crip- {pled if not aimost destroyed. If Great Britain and France win, it is argued, the war effort will pro- duce sucn economic strain that |these nations will be compelled |to adopt methods heretofore used | by the totalitarian states. In the light of these facts, there is some speculation as to the fu- ture effectiveness of the trade agreement act, recently extended | Unless! the nations! of the world {return to something like normal |trade. relations, there’: will be many difficulties in= the way of | successfully promoting the Hull - | trade program... While progress may be made in the Western Hemisphere, there is doubt as to what may ‘be done in’: the ‘other jregions of the world. In the Far East, the Japanese campaign agains§China is de- signed to capture control of Chi- nese raw materials and trade. If Japan wins, the Japanese will claim exclusive control Eastern commerce. The __ inter- ests of the United States will be seriously affected and our future upon the whim of the Tokyo |Government. It is already apparent that | Soviet Russia, due to various rea- | sons, is following a. policy of na- | tionally controlled trade. There |is little prospect that there will | be'any reversion to normal com-~- |mercial practices So far as Soviet | Russia is concerned.

Back of the sudden invasion of Denmark and Norway is the ef- fort of Germany to extend her jeconomic frontier, to secure a {source of supply which can be compelled to work in harmony with German purposes. Without adequate credit, and unable to build up sufficient foreign ex- change to facilitate the natural commerce, Germany is grabbing jadjacent territory in. order to control the raw material and trade of the area. It is not hard to imagine that Italy, under Mussolini, will -con- tinue the development of her eco- nomic affairs in close harmony with those of Germany. Conse- quently ,not only the. domestic tratle-of Italy but her foreign. commerce will be organized, upon the Nazi pattern. ; Gradually; thé pressure of Russia, Germany and Italy,,exerted upon the smaller |Balkan powers, will infold them into the new economic scheme. Every time this happens, the our hope that foreign markets for our products may develop in the future are given a_ serious setback. If the process continues {long enough, there will be no- America and we may have to re- sort to drastic methods to pro- jtect this market. The Illinois primaries produced no great surprises, with’ the President and Mr. Dewey scoring success at the polls. The New York prosecutor undoubtedly boosted his position in relation to other Republican candidates for’ the presidential nomination. The President, in winning easily over the Vice-President, ran itrue to form but the meaning of Ithe election will depend upon what plans Mr. Roosevelt has for |himself. The Dewey campaign thas been greatly assisted by the Wisconsin and Illinois results and it looks as if his popular strength will force serious consideration at the Convention in_ Philadel- phia.
