The picture Is a far cry from the world's dream, of peace
at the conclusion of the "war to end war" 2l;'year ago. Then
the picture of war was fresh in mind ; devastated lands, acres
of graves, the remnants of men stumblnjr down boulevards
after their! encounter with the great ;destroygrrj The r intelli
gence of the world swore that this tragedy ;must Jnot occur
again; that mankind must have enourii sense 'iofa void the
catastrophe which threatened in 1914-1918 to wreck civiliza
tion. , ; ;
Hitler is a mad man, of that there can be no question. No
person of a degree of tolerance, no man of historical perspec
tive; could support the doctrine of racial superiority, of com
plete intolerance and persecution of enemies and of fervid
preparation for war, which has marked the six years Der
Fuehrer has been in power. He is not a showman like Musso
lini, blustering, chest-thumping, but shrewd, playing the
threat of war but avoiding actual conflict. Hitler Is' an ego-'
maniac, not responsible to reason or the motives of human
sympathy for common people and a desire that they be spared
the! disaster which a modern war makes certain, i J ,,
With Hitler in power, with the German "people concentra
ted; on the'idevelopment of a tremendous f tenting force, the
outbreak of a conflict in Eurooe seems certain. It probably
will not come this year; the solid front beincr formed by Eng
land and France, the implied hostility of the -United States,
will give even as darinjr a man as Hitler pause.:! There is al
ways the chance that Germany will yet come to its senses.
Certainly the spectacle of a warlord floating over his puppets
in a military parade on his 50h birthday, does not represent
the wishes f millions of Germans who want peace and who
are.not willing to sacrifice all the comforts of day-to-day liv
ing in an expensive, nerve-straining race to 'arm for a war
which Will jbe disastrous for Victor and vanquished alike.
.There is always the possibility; that Mussolini wilt restrain
his ally;, asi. he did in calling the final Munich agreement- t
; We have scant'hope that ultimate conflict can be avoid
ed in Europe. Too many generals, eager to show their abil
ity. Too many boasts and threats by the dictators. Too many
chances taken in ruthless seizing of weak nations. . It is a
saddening 'spectacle. The high hopes of the world, echoed
in the Washington disarmament pact of 1921, reflected in
the Kellogg-Briand pact, are brought low as the1 one-time

. Seventy-five "per cent of the resnonses indicated that the
men replying had money to invest. The majority ;of reasons
for non-mvestment centered on these three points: (l) Pres

there is fear of higher. taxes to come, (2) fear of labor trou

To large degree, business has carried on its fears for too

phasized. The wave of organization which followed the NRA
and later the Wagner act, is over. The labor movement is far
from a period of maturity and one would be a Pollyanna to
predict anything resembling permanent peace in the rela
tionships of organized labor and employers. But the rough
edges of the conflict are off ;
not recurred this year and capital has no basis in fact by post
poning activity by vague fears of "labor troubles." As for
further legislation restricting business the trend is quite
the reverse. Most state legislatures in 1939 were craite in har
mony with the Oregon session which did nothing to interrupt
the orderly functioning of business; -
Governor Sprague stated the matter pungently in his
recent Portland address when he urged capital to get off the
dole. Just as most men are not going to rehabilitate them
selves economically by staying on the WPA and waiting for
something to turn up, capital is not going to find adequate re
turn by going into federal bonds and finding , eternal fault
with the government Nor can the fear of war iri Europe fur
nish an adequate alibi. American prosperity' can onlv be re
turned by men who have faith
to venture. As the worst of the depression is long since nast;
so are the most-overt of governmental "reforms'! The New
Deal has fired its legislative salvos as they effect business
and is now putting the European situation at the center of
the stage. The time is ripe for level-headed business men to
come out of their storm cellar. I

The president is making a great tactical error in his re

his own party. His grasp of popular psychology 'should en

followed by a demand for calm and normalcy ; that the
strength of the European dictatorships inclines the United

to have brought into a great Na

Poland, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria,
Greece and possibly Turkey. The
countries which willingly consent
will be welcome; those which re

The Fuehrer counted on being
able to neutralise Soviet Russia,
and. j protected at his rear, he
would then be able to attack
France and Britain.' He counted
4n.a; hort.war,which, would end
in the delivery et the British and

Analvzinr ' the composition of
the hew German fleet. Major Eliot
comes to the conclusion . tnat it
cannot possibly be intended as an
Instrument against: the Soviets
and that it ts indeed "perfectly
silly- to contend, as German offi
cial explanations hare attempted
ta contend, that It is for use
against Rnssia. There is no con
ceivable sue for any such force or
submarines in the Russian-German
naval situation. ; ,
The ubmarine.' says Major
Kilo, -has Its principal use in the
field of commerce- destroying. '
Toe nation which posseses sea
borne commerce which is Tital to
her, and without which she can
not live. Is Britain.
: And Major Ello recalls the Em
den and the enormous dam a ge
which that single German cruiser
did before she was finally brought
to boot by 40 searehert. t
He thinks that the German navy
today, being precisely adapted to
s specific purpose and a specific
enemy, is far more dangerous
than the German navy in 1914.
a
No one ean contend that a
world war fought on tho major
sea lanes of the world is of no
concern to the United States of
America, or that the possible ic

the two former powers united in n
revolutionary; philosophy hostile,
to everything, that this country
has-ever stood for, could be a
matter of indifference to the
United States; or that given such
an outcome, this, country would
be safe. '
' If, thee, the President" uses ev
ery possible diplomatic Instru
ment to avert a world war, by
warning, by clarifying the issue,
by suggesting conciliation In ad
vance of it, it seems that he ought
to; be strongly supported, regard
less of other political differences.
,-
'Actually, part from its drama
and suddenness, which gave it a
sensational aspect, there is noth
ing in the President's message to
the world which is not completely
consistent ' with the policy of the
United States ever since . the
World war.
The drama and sensationalism
are 'necessitated by the way In
which- modern politics is played.
No democratic nation was the inventor-
of this new international
politics. -
But; the United States has, for
20 years, participated in every at
