SKKS ABANDONING PASSIVE FOREIGN' TOUCT ClttolMT WEAPON AGAINST nif'TATOH NATIONS SO. AMEIIK'AN' TRADE AID, CHINESE LOAN CITED ... ADMINISTRATION SEES Ac.;ii:sin in moves WASHINGTON. Dec. 18. Two event of almost incalculable signifi cance In American foreign polioy have occurred this week. The tlrst was Secretary of the Treasury Henry Mor genthau, Jr.'s, mild disclosure of a plan to Vse government funds to finance South American trade. The second was the arrangement of what amounts to a handsome treasury credit to the beleaguered Chinese. True, the cautious Morgenthau merely said that the South American trade scheme was being "studied." True, also, the highly Involved form of the Chinese credit all but obscures the vital fact that It will bring des perately needed supplies to the tat tered armies of Chiang Kai-shek. But, however complex the method, supplying the Chinese patriots Is an assault on the Invading Japanese. And, however polite Its presentation, the South American trade scheme Is Intended to elbow the Germans out nf our hemisphere. Taken together, In fairt, Uie two events have a mas sively important meaning. The presi dent has decided to fight the author itarian states on their own terms. Unless congress or public opinion re verses his decision, bloodless but open warfare has now begun. The blindest eye can see that credit la the one weapon possessed by the United States but not by the author itarian nations. The billions of gold In the federal trensury, America's un limited command of foreign exchange, have more potential value than Hit ler's air force. Hitherto, following a traditionally passive foreign policy, thla country has refused to use Its credit weapon. Now, the weapon has been daringly grasped by the president. If the Cht neso credit and the South American trade sohe me mean a ny th l ng, they mean that American wealth Is to be used to help existing friends and to make new ones abroad. In the cur rent struggle between the democra cies and dictatorships, that Is a fun damentally aggressive act. Furthermore, it can be stated on the most positive authority that the aggressive nature of the Chinese credit and South American trade scheme was fully recognized in dis cussions at the White House, the state department and the treasury. Indeed, the probable reactions of Japan and Oermany were pondered at length. And It was finally decided that, in the post-Munich world, pas sivity is a luxury which the United States cannot afford. Thus far, the departure from tra ditional policy is not great, if it provokes a congressional uproar, the Chinese credit can be explained awav. the South American scheme quietly Jettisoned. But the deeply serious fact remains that the departure has been made. It has been made pur posely, after weighing every pro and eon. and, unless the domestic reaction Is too violent, it presages a new American course in foreign affairs. The history of this weeks twin vents will show that the foregoing analysis Is neither alarmist" nor exag gerated. It begins some four years ago. when certain far-sighted treasury officials first suggested that it was foolish to ignore the credit weapon In the struggle between democracy and dictatorship. The question became ! controversial not long thereafter. ! when the dictatorships aggressions' made Secretary of the Treasury Henry i Morgenthau, Jr.. an ardent champion ! of the neglected weapon. t'se of the weapon was so long delayed because the president was fearful of the political results, while the state department was reluctant to i abandon the principles of isolation Munich and Its aftermath ended the ! anrument. For the ftrft time. It was clear that j unnrn mat., could not look to Great Britain and France to defend democracy unaided. The official of the state department continued doubtful, but the president was new ly Trm:itrri to feire the great weapon w.iich laj to his hand. The discus sion." st the Whitr Hoiiae were oeea sinnally acrimonious, and action was deferred until the president finally made up his mind les than two k tCojtlnued on Pae Eitit.) .1 1 1ICA EXPORTER OF WAR MATERIAL P ON URGE SCALE Missing Assets May Be Money Due for Munitions World-Wide Financial Snarl Spawned in Dry Era NEW YORK, Dec. I7.-(AP) In vestigation of the notorious Musira brothers blgpest and most elaborate swindle, involving millions of dollars of McKesson and Robbins assets, ex tended to all parts of the globe to day with emphasis on reports uf shipments of arms and ammunition to foreign powers. Gregory P. Noonan, acting U. 8. attorney, said he felt confident fed- j ernl authorities would develop "con clusive proof' the head of the Mus ic family Philip Musics who called himself P. Donald Coster and be came president of the $87,000,000 drug corporation was actually ex porting war materials on a large scale. No Piker Like Ivar Krueger. the Swedish match king, and Serge Stavlsky, the French arch-swindler, Coster-Musica It became Increasingly clear to day was no piker. If he made the beginnings of his fortune, as fed eral authorities believe. In Illicit al cohol during prohibition, he quickly shifted to bigger things. Gun-running and even possibility that the respected head of the great drug corporation even financed the 3-year war between Bolivia and Par aguay over the Gran Chaco border were regarded tonight ns likely act ivities for Coster-Musica. Noonan said an Important confer ence would be held Monday among representatives of all federal law en forcement agencies to draft a def inite plan of coordination for their multiple activities In the future. Gun-running, liquor shipments, Coster-Musica's political connections, his possible dealings in narcotics end the vast financial tangle he left bo hind when he sent a bullet Into ils brain will be discussed. So extensive were his labyrinthine affairs that federal as well as state Investigators believed they had only begun to remove the numerous layers of the scandal. More than ISO sub poenas already have been Issued tor Wall Street operators and brokers, officials of the firm, Connecticut politicians and numerous other per sons, and for records which may ex plain the confusion of questions raised by Coster's fantastic swindle. Witness Guarded The nature of the Information about gun-running, now in the hands of Assistant Attorney Geneml Ambrose V. McCall, was not disclosed, but he said he knew things "which may Involve living persons.' Giving support to this was a state ment of John Kantor, 60. of Mon treal, father of MacKlnloy Kantor. the author. The elder Kantor, held here In connection with a Connecti cut stock case, appenred in the po lice llnetip today. "McKesson and Robbins offered to sell me some guns," he told acting Lieut. James Pyke who was question ing him about reported gun smug gling to other countries. "I was asked not to discuss it." Kantor sold. "Was that by order of the attor ney general?" "Yes," Kantor replied, "and also by the securities and exchange com missicn." It was regarded as likely that the 9 1 8,000.000 missing assets of the crud! rimes deportment which Cor,-ter-Muslea and his brother, Geortre B. Dietrlch-Muslca. operated with non-existent warehouses and detail ed reports of purchases and sales, might. In fact, exist as money due for the payment of munitions. When Coster-Musica. facing re arrest on a charge of violating the securities and exchange act, killed himself Friday In his Fairfield home, the chances of learning all the amaz ing details of his Incredible swind ling career were greatly diminished.

Two woodsheds were damaged, sev eral houses were threatened and three men by chance escaped serious Injury corly yesterday morning In one of the strangest fires that have ever occurred here. The fire was caused by gas escap ing from an B-lnch main In the alley on the south side of East Fourth street between Central avenue and Front street. For an hour and a half the city fire department fought the blaze, battling feverishly and success fully to keep the flames from Igniting the near-by residences. Meantime employes of the Pacific Utilities com pany tried valiantly to close the valve that controlled the flow of gos through the main. 1 The fire damaged the woodshed and garage In back of the H. A. Martin residence at 243 North Front street and the woodshed In the rear of Mrs: Flora B. Ludwlg's home at 237 North Central avenue. A car In the Martin garage was rolled out before It caught fire. Flames leaped along a fence halfway down the alley and shot to the top of a near-by pole to set the wires burning. As quickly as the firemen extin guished the flaming woodsheds, fence and pole, more gas would Ignite and set them afire all over again. Poekots of gas Ignited on all sides of the firemen.

There has been much speculation In the capital as to the likelihood of Hopkins being named to replace Daniel C. Roper as secretary of com merce. Roper has resigned. "A great war scare also Is tn the making," lam neck declared.
