Whether Franklin Roosevelt made third term capital out of Eu rope’s woes was. only a guess, but the emergency of war caused strange things to happen. "Junked,” in Secretary Steve E ar ly ’s words,” was the "imaginary brain trust.” Solidly whacked un der presidential orders were Com munists and Fascists. Brought into $l-a-year emergency posts were more anti-New Dealers than Wash ington has seen since Herbert Hoo ver left town. Big business, the President’s No. 1 foe, not only supported his “cash- and-carry” neutrality proposal, but one of its representatives. Industri alist Herbert Bayard Swope, said enthusiastically that “ M r. Roosevelt is going to keep us out of this w ar.” M e a n w h ile the t r a d i tio n a l big b u s in e s s p a rty , R e p u b lic a n - ism, was con vin ced the New Deal’s SENATOR N Y E bldden aim “. . . better talk now . . .” “ * “fd from a Gallup poll which showed most Americans feel safer with con gress in session.

For almost an hour he chased her about the pasture trying to get her under control. k INTERNATIONAL: The Neutrals Biggest repercussion of war in the western hemisphere was the con vening of 21 American republics at Panama City to safeguard neutral ity. protect hemispherical peace and further economic co-operation. Big gest repercussions in the F ar East were (1) shakeup of Japanese arm y leadership in China and Manchukuo to hasten an end to the Chinese war, and (2) German-inspired ef forts for a non-aggression pact with Russia, thus checking the growing Japanese sentiment in Britain’s fa vor. But the biggest neutral news came from Europe, pleasant and other wise. Moscow’s allegiance to Ber lin was more marked than ever. German engineers arrived to aid Russian industry, thus indicating the Soviet will be Adolf H itle r’s storehouse. While Paris radio re ported all Soviet merchant ships en route to England had been ordered home, thus indicating a coming breach, the Soviet joined hostilities by shooting Polish craft which vio lated the frontier. Should enough such incidents occur. Russia might take revenge by joining Der Fuehrer in a new Polish partition. Most intense activity came in the Mediterranean region.

Warren Austin plumped for cash- and-carry, as did many a lesser in surgent Democrat who last summer hated all that Franklin Roosevelt represents. I f this looked like harmony, ob servers had another guess coming. They had not reckoned with North Dakota’s Sen. Gerald P. ( “Neutral ity ” ) Nye, with Idaho’s lionish Sen. W illiam E. Borah, or with Missouri’s Democratic Sen. Bennett Champ Clark. As the call went out for special congressional session, voices like these were raised in protest and warning. Isolationism again reached the fore. F a r from stubborn, Senator Borah merely wanted assurance of ade quate debate on neutrality. He had no desire to “kill tim e,” but was sure cash-and-carry “ will inevitably bring us into w ar.” More alarming was Senator Nye, author of the present neutrality law : “ Americans had better talk now before the gags of a declared emergency are placed.
