Washington, D. C, Jan. 9. Iso
lationists in congress, and not all by
any distortion of word meaning may
be called appeasers, are demanding
that the peace aims of the British
be set forth, clearly if American aid
is to be frunished for their attain
ment. There is practical unanimity
of sentiment favorable to Great
Britain and none whatever for Hit
ler, his military clique or the ideol
ogy which governs them.
What the isolationists want to
know and what they will demand
in the debates over President Roose
velt's recommendations is a frank
presentation of what is to follow
conclusion of the war in the event
of Hitler's failure to subdue Eng
land; whether it is the purpose of the
British to attempt restoration of the
governments overthrown by Hitler
and the re-establishing of national
boundaries as they existed prior to
the opening of hostilities.
Such an effort, it is authoritative
ly stated, would call for the employ
ment of the full air and naval
strength of the United States and for
the use on European battlefields of
at least six million men. The mere
failure o Hitler to conquer England
would not necessarily mean the mil
itary defeat of Germany, it is de
clared, and this latter Great Britain
could not bring about alone.
What was accomplished by the
congress recently adjourned in be
half of national defense has not been
stated in press dispatches and no
summary will be prepared for the
reason that its significance will be
minimized by further steps which
will be taken by the congress now
in session. There are, however, a
few highlights to which attention
may properly be called without pre
tense of covering the entire sub
ject. The defense program appropriation
approved last September was for
$5,133,169,277, from which were as
signed sums for army, navy, airship
construction, to provide manufac
turing facilities, housing and all the
minor items necessary to the carry
ing out of army and navy expansion.
To this sum many supplemental ap
propriations were added in the con
cluding days of the session and more
money was requested by President
Roosevelt in his address to the ses
sion Monday of this week.
A further provision of the nation
al defense act removed all limita
tions as to the enlisted strength of
the regular army and as to the
number of retired officers who may
be called to active duty. This opens
the doors to the creation of an arm
ed force of whatever size President
Roosevelt and the war department
may desire or consider necessary
for the protection of the United
States or in the carrying on of what
ever adventure may be undertaken.
Another provision confers author
ity to buy or take over land, buy or
build such structures as may be
needed and engage in the manufac
ture of munitions and implements of
warfare on government account, or
to finance private industry in such
an undertaking under government
supervision. Authority is also given
to conduct research and experiments

ed to be in the interest of national
defense.
Provisions of the law, approved
last June, to prevent subversive ac
tivities also may be regarded as an
essential part of the national defense
program. These make it unlawful
for any person to knowingly or will
fully advocate, aet, advise or teach
the duty, necessity, desirability or
nronrietv of overthrowing by force
1 - 2.
' any government in the United Stat
es; to print or publish any matter
having a similar purpose, or to or
ganize or help organize any group
or society who teach or advocate the
overthrow by force 6f any govern
ment in the United States.
Despite the protestations of Pres
ident Roosevelt that labor gains
shall not be destroyed because of
war emergency and that no social
reforms shall be abandoned, the na
tional defense act itself provides
plainly and concisely the authority
to require more than a 40-hour week
of laborers and mechanics engaged
in national defense activities.
There are many other provisions
of the national defense act the en
forcement of which, under a claim
of emergency, will greatly surprise
the public. Not all of them received
even casual mention in press re
ports while the measure was being
considered in congress. One thing
may be taken for granted, however:
Individual liberties will be restrict
ed to an even greater degree than
they were during world war No. 1,
and the restoration of these liberties
will constitute a harder problem
when peace again comes to an em
bittered world.
LATE-HATCHED HENS USED
Roseburg. J. E. Conn, a Douglas
county poultryman who is coopera
ting in a turkey improvement proj
ect, is saving late hatched hens for
use a breeding stock for next spring,
reports J. Roland Parker, county
agent. It is hoped that the late hatch
ed birds will start laying later, which
Conn finds desirable for his own
work. Breeders who produce turkey
eggs for market, on the other hand,
sometimes encourage early laying
by the use of artificial light.
