The un announced situation behind all this current peace and war talking Is that no one can think of a single practical thing to do about It. A curious In vestigator asked fifteen persons In I high dfflctal life. game and. In the professional peace move ment for solid suggestions of steps to be taken to estab lish world peace. The answers totaled 8.000 words, but could have been told In one. Officially, the government looks to the forthcoming Pan-American alli ance as a step In the right direction, but unofficially it must bo conceded it will have little effect upon the European or far eastern war threats. Otherwise, there are no Ideas sprout ing In the official mind. No hope of a disarmament conference. No possi bility of world ccouomlc or financial stabilization. No treaties. No alliances Unofficially, there ts a suggestion that, If tho use of sanction could have been promoted, something could have been done, but everybody know this country would never seriously undertake sanctions, which might as readily lead to war asncacc. Like wise, the possibility that an Anglo American alliance might make the world behave Is agreed to be an Im possibility from a domestic political standpoint. There, Ideas end. Tho lssuo Is held In mld-alr by tho Irresistible forces of conflicting world situations, and no one has any thing more than a two-foot steplad der. . The Vmly workable resistance con templated or discussed Is negative extension of army and navy for de fense, munlttona bans, no foreign loans, Individual trado treaties, etc. Just why tho communists chose to support President Roosevelt Is a ques tion which ha not only been annoy ing new dealers, but some commun ists as well. Many a red-eye has walk ed out on his party because of the change In line. They have a candidate of their own. Mr. Roosevelt has renounced their support. The whole thing adds up to unsatisfactory answers. A likely non-pollttcal explanation Is offered by the socialist candidate. Norman Thomas. He notes that the red change of line was announced shortly after the communist leader. Earl Browder, returned from Russia. He suspects the decision is therefore a result of Russian foreign policy rather than domestic politics. What Russia fears most right now Is war with Japan or Germany. They (Continued on Pago Three.)
