muggy. Drove up to the country club where a few years ago
the National Western (amateur) was held. While the city is

What is happening in Europe!
No one knows.
France says one thing, F.ngland something else, and Berlin
of course agrees with neither. As to Russia, even the respective
war offices don't pretend to figure out "the bear that walks
like a man."
But what this column maintained when war broke out still
holds true. Those who know what. Russia IS going to do, know
how the war is coming out, that wily old Oriental Stalin holds
the balance of power and knows it. If he seriously and whole

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. When the

him.
As usual, he breakfasts in bed at
s reasonably civilized hour, tackling
the newspapers before he rises to
go to his office. In the office, as
usual, he goes throush an Intermin

more serious generalization. Those
close to him say that he Is pre
occupied with the dreadful puzzle of
what the world will be like after the
war Is over. He fears the effect on
this country of the general catas
trophe, and he Is much obsessed by
the fate of the "new freedom" of
his predecessor, Wodrow Wlln. In
another, sadly recent world conflict.
Yet, when some plan pleases him,
he still throws his head back with
the old loud laugh, and the delighted
exclamation, "That's fine, that's
wonderful."
As for the plans he has acted on
to date, they appear to have been
well conceived and well executed.
His call of the special session of
congress was admirably timed, and
his neutrality message was shrewdly
written, stirring, and without the
"I-told-you-soa" which he at first
hankered to toss at lvls opponents.
It must have required an effort of
self-control to abandon old habits, but
he has vastly improved his system
of dealing with congress. The Im
perious Insistence that this or that
"must" be done has been replaced
by a calm cooperation with the ablest
congressional leaders.
In two or three of his actions,
such as the hasty call of the Pan
ama conference and the off-hand
announcements that submarines had
been sighted off our coasts, there
seemed to be a trace of his weakness
for the ovcrdramatlc. But these are
Justified by the fact that he has
had credible. If not wholly confirmed,
reports of the presence of what
amounts to a German submarine
fleet in the Caribbean.
Such a situation, even If only po
tential rather than proved, made it
necessary to prepare for quick rem
edial measures. This also illuminates
the slightly mysterious proclamation
of limited emergency, which calls into
being his power to retmlate shipping
movements, as well as enabling him
to deal with foreign exchange? prob
lems that will soon become exceed
ingly difficult.
Indeed, his creation and disband
ing of the war reso u rces boa rd I s
the only move needing real explana
tion. And this may be simply ex
plained. In the first place, he only
wanted the board's advice and never
intended to make It a permanent
body. In the second place, as the
private preserve of the troublesome
assistant secretary of war. Louis
Johnson, the board's position wns
untenable from the start.
The president is handling the pres
ent very successfully. For the future.
It contains the great question of his
1040 Intentions. What these may be
no man knows, but It Is certain that
the president still tells those close
to him that he does not "want"
third term.

THX diplomats (on Friday) still
hold the spotlight.
Hitler and Stalin, having got to
gether on some kind of desl, tell
Britain and France to make peace
NOW or else I
(What the penalty Is to be If they
refuse remains a bit hazy. Germany
and Russia announce that If the
western allies fall to knuckle under
they "will consult each other as to
necessary measures." Without saying
so, they seek to convey the Impres
sion that the necessary measures will
be a German -Russian military alli
ance.) AO ATN the British and the French
fall to crumple up in a panic.
In London, the inner cabinet meets
for a close study of the nazl-sovlet
deal, as so far revealed, and "Informed
sources" assert that the new move Is
a supreme effort to frighten Britain
and France Into a quick peace. They
add that It won't work, as Britain
is still determined to end Hltlerism.
(What Britain knows she has to do
Is to protect her empire, now defi
nitely threatened.)
Britain's answer will be given offi
cially by Chamberlain in a speech
to the house of commons on Monday
FRANCE, whose fortunes are defi
nitely tied to those of Britain
will do whatever Britain does. "In
formed sources' In Paris are equally
certain that the war must go on.
1TJTHAT next?
W WATCH THIS DIPLOMATS.
They still play the leading parts in
the world tragedy now being enacted.
And when European diplomats
gather, TREACHERY is always pres
ent. HERE Is an Interesting slant In
the news of Friday:
When the Germans and the Rus
frlans got together to pick Poland's
bones, they didn't see eye to eye on
the proposed boundaries. Witt Han
cock. Associated Press correspondent
in Moscow, writes: "In the north, a
wedge between Germany and Lithu
ania, which experts said would have
ALLOWED THE RUSSIANS TO OUT
FLANK THE GERMANS has been
removed."
In spite of all the taffy he Is
spreading, you see. Hitler DOESN'T
TRUST STALIN and refuses to stand
for any salients from which the Rus
sians can get around his end.
HANCOCK adds: "Russia's south
ern frontiers with Rumania and
Bulgaria were not affected."
What that means is that STALIN
DOESN'T TRUST HITLER and pro
poses to keep his armies between
Hitler and Rumania's coveted oil
There is also a suspicion that Stalin
Is so playing his cards as to shut
Germany out of the Balkans.
You will probably hear more of
that later.
WHEN two gangsters eye each
other thus suspiciously, there
Is always a good chance of a bloody
falling out. It is this chance. In all
probability, that Is stiffening the
backs of the British and the French.
Communications
On The Yellow Streak
To the editor:
It is indeed heartening to see that
someone has a sense of the terrible
toll of life every year taken by the
automobile.
While observers' remarks are well
taken yet observer fails to note that
most of the drivers drive on the left
side of the road along the yellow
streak which to them Is the left side
of the road and If observer will take
the trouble to watch some of the
drivers I may say most of them
while on their own side of the yel
low line their hubs are over the line,
and this more particularly points to
trucks which have a wider overhang.
A big truck's overhang win be
about 16 Inches. Therefor if they
drive on the left why not shift the
line to the extreme left. Its advan
tages are numerous.
Night driving la safer, oncoming
car lights do not shine direct In
yoxir eyes. If you want to leave your
car. your door is not swung out In
the direct line of traffic, you step
out on the sidewalk. Instead of going
around the car; and above all safety.
8om years ago I spoke to one of
our lareest- manufacturers of cars.
He said. "Enttineers have had this
matter up and studied tt. There Is
no doubt It would be a great Im
provement, but to convince our peo
ple would be a colossal undertaking,
nnd who is going to do it? Not the
mnnufacturer. it would coat millions,
and besides, the number of ears now
equipped with left hand drive would
be an enormous problem. I agre
with you it would be better and
-ifr to chanee the rule of the
road."
