THE RUSSIAN-RUMANIAN FLARE-UP
THE complexities of the Balkan keg of dynamite
which seems likely to blow up at any moment
continue to present their jigg-saw perplexities to the
American newspaper reader. The Balkans historic-
ally start wars and if it is not possible to start them
they proceed to become involved in other people’s
wars. Such is the history of the Balkans.
And adding to«all the puzzling situations that
have developed in Southeast Europe is the conflict
between Russian and Rumanian troops on the new
Russian-Rumanian border a few days ago in which
several hundred soldiers are reported to have been
killed on both sides. The battle was accompanied
by airplane clashes. Rumania gave up Bessarabia
aiong her north and east border to Russia. So far
as known Russia which had never given up her claim
to that area won by Rumania in the first World War
mad? no additional demands.
That clash between Russian and Rumanian fron-
tier soldiers may have resulted from some local
border embroilment but there seems to be reason to
suspect that it may be all just a part of another
Russian move to solidify its western front against
that future date when Germany has found herself
free to attend to matters in the east. If it was mere-
ly a local border affair then it is a matter that most
likely will be settled without further bloodshed.
Hitler and Mussolini have agreed that the Hun-
garian-Rumanian squabble over Transylvania must
be amicably settled by September 15. The meeting
Thursday at Vienna between Joachim von Ribben-
trop the German foreign minister and Count
Galeazzo Ciano the Italian foreign minister with
representatives of Rumania and Hungary indicates
that the axis leaders are determined that there
must he no conflict in the Balkans at least until the
axis powers have settled with Great Britain. Ger-
many is looking to Rumania for oil and other war
supplies and to Hungary for food and she cannot
afford to have the supply lines interfered with by
further wars. Rumania has made concessions to
Russia giving up Bessarabia and territorial conces-
sions to Bulgaria. King Carol seemed about to give
in on the Hungarian demands and then suddenly
stiffened his attitude. He now agree* to exchange
populations but refuses to concede additional terri-
tory'. That seems to be the question which the axis
powers are intent on deciding in the conversations at
Vienna.
Bucharest the capital of Rumania is possibly
the b>ast dependable capital in Europe from a news
standpoint. For this reason it is questionable
whether much dependence may be placed upon a re-
port from there that Russia has warned Rumania to
give up no more territory to Hungary on pain of ac-
tion on the part of Russia. There is no wav of tell-
ing whether’credence may be given this Bucharest
rumor. If true it might give the key to Russia’s in-
tentions. These intentions might include possession
of the Rumanian oil fields. Possessing those oil
fields. Russia might use that position either to aid
Germany or to cripple her in her battle for Great
Britain.
AUTOMATIC ATROCITIES
IN' sending to the United States pictures of churches
hospitals schools and humble homes bombed by
the enemy both Britain and Germany try to stress the
brutality of the other.
It is useless. Everybody knows by now this much
about aerial warfare:
1. No bomber British or German is stupid enough
to waste bombs on targets like those if he can help it.
2. The plain fact is that air bombing is not ac-
curate enough for any bomber to be sure what he
will hit when he pulls the lever. He may aim with
clear conscience at the munitions dump but -the
worker s home or the First Methodist Church gets
the bomb.
War. and those who have resorted to war must
bear the blame for the death of these innocents the
destruction of these treasures. Atrocity propaganda
when the “atrocities** are the blind and inevitable re-
sult of the kind of war that is waged today is not
going to get anybody anywhere.

SURPLUS FARM PRODUCTS
According to latest estimates the
United States and Canada will
have available at the end of the
current aeaaon more than on*
billion bushels of wheat for ex-
port and carryover. At the same
time the Continent of Europe
will be facing an acute shortage
of wheat the deficiency being es-
timated at 400000 000 bushels.
However there Is slight prospect
that any substantial part of the
huge surpluses on this side of the
Atlantic will reach the other side so
long as the war continues and
the blockade holds._
The continental markets normal-
ly take about one third of our ex-
ports of farm products and Great
Britain accounts for another third.
But with the former markets clos- j
ed the British are also limiting
their imports to urgent needs and
supplying those needs as far as
possible from empire source*. Hence
it is not surprising that the prices
of wheat cotton ano other agri-
cultural products should fail to
reflect the stimulus of wartime de-
mands.
The Department of Agriculture
reports that wheat prices in the
United States have become large
ly Independent of the European
situation since the turn of events I
m Europe last May. The loan pro-
gram is now the dominant domes- j
tic Influence as regards wheat
prices although speculative move-
ments are. of course Influenced by
war and crop news The outlook
for cotton is favorable as regards
domestic consumption but export
prospects in the markets still open
to us are said to be 'exceptionally
unfavorable.”
However. It should be remem-
bered that our export outlets for
wheat and cotton had become se-
\crch- rps'ricted and were beinc
maintained with the aid of exports
subsidies before the outbreak of
war The war and the continental
blockade have simply aggravated
surplus problems that have long

ones due to loss of customary out-

VTf ACHINGTON — Hitler's inside
W date for final victory over
England has been Sept. 15. This
information was brought to the
top here by a U. S. government
employee who was captured by the
Germans at Abbeville and lived
among the German army officers
before he came out tnrough Switz-
erland.
The German officers talked free-
ly before the fall of Prance about
the date Hitler had fixed for its
doom—July 15. They said the en-
tire army was in on a little joke
on Der Feuhrer and intended to
press Prance into subjection two
weeks earlier than Hitler antici-
pated. France actually sued for
peace June 28. thereby heighten-
ing the joke.
Unless Hitler delivers Britan
within the two weeks yet remain-
ing. he will have to deal with a
problem of officer morale as his
army has been thoroughly satur-
ated with the optimistic expecta-
tion.
AN AMERICAN ambassador (not
B 11 Bullitt* in talking confid-
entially with house members has
predicted the United States will be
In the war within four months.
His prophesy was founded on
the expectation that Britain would
fall and retreat to Canada which
would automatically force us to
active defense of this hemisphere
in accordance with our commit-
ments.
This isolated opinion is not
rhared generally within officialdom
here The navy particularly has
been optim stic about British
chances lately.
i DEPUBLICAN Congressmen held
X their heads and called for
aspirin upon learning of Wendell
Wtllkie’s renunciation of proferred
Coughlin support. Elsewhere there
may have been admiration for Mr
Willkte's straightforward courage
but among republican pol ttcians
there was only mourning that it
might cost the republican ticket
over a million votes. The hitherto
unbroken custom of presidential
candidates has been to accept sup-
port from all quarters even com-
munists. until after election day. \
No one has calculated how many
votes Willkie may have gained
from those who will b? impressed
by his unique honesty.
CONFIDENCE IN government
i figures has been waning since
politicians and publiritv men. m-
! stead of economists started hand-
ing them out. Practice of choosing
alternative statistics which place
th* government activities in the
most favorable light has come to
be expected Such estimates as Mr
Roosevelt's calculation of more
than 10.000 planes oh the way
may arouse smiles nere. but not
anger. Mr Roosevelt got his total
by adding on 34.16 planes ordered
before his defense commission was
conceived and 3654 upon which
: ome advance paper work has been
i done but for e-hich orders have
i not yet been placed. This is what
is known in the political trade
here as political aggrandizement.
But the defense commission pub-
l.city office has been lopping over
into the field of more dangerous
statistical deception. Defense pub-
licity director Robert Horton
casually announced last Friday the
navy placed an order for 700
Grumman combat ships and news-
papers. including this column pub-
lished the Information until the
truth came out from Naw Secre-
tary Knox 5 days later. The navy-
had contracted for only 285 com-
bat ships less than half the num- ■
her claimed.
Confronting Horton w-ith the
Knox announcement new-smen
succeeded in getting onlv a denial
that the 700 combat plane claim
had b»en made To amuse them-
selves. newsmen thereupon cir- ]
dilated an affidavit w htch was
signed by five or six who heard
Mr. Horton speak to the contrary.
The confusion on defense statist- I
ics which has now* follow'd the
earlier period of secrecy will prob-
ably cause congress to establish a
joint committee to keep abreast of
and an eye on the defense com-
mission.

When the European war broke
out on Sept. 3. 1939 more than
5.000 applications poured into the
New York headquarters of Inter-
national News Service from young
(and oldt hopefuls throughout the
land who felt themselves qualified
to become war correspond*nts. •

Some wrote that they spoke
foreign languages others said they

he d be able to get us uncensored
news "because I Just wouldn't
show my stories to the censor I'd
telegraph my news from some little
out-of-the-wav telegraph office
where they'd never think of putting
a censor."
Of course you ran t answer each
of these thousands of applications
but I do so now.
First of all. you can t play Sto-
kowskis aggregation just because
you own some tissue paper and a
comb.
War correspondency is s highly
technical job. requiring vast ex-

problem Into a substantial advant-
age for themselves and for INS
Bob Nixon for example was
forced to flee from Dunkerque with
the retreating British fleeing so
fast he left his knapsack and
portable typewriter on the French
beach. But Nixon's story of the
retreat and his dramatic recital of
the bomb-sinking of the auxiliary
cruiser Cambodia made Journalis-
tic history. And even though his
later dispatch was held up by the m
ceasors for more than 30 day* IT ™
STILL WAS EXCLUSIVE WHEN

In spite of this personal danger
Knick was one of the last corres-

The principal portion of thh
work is done tn the New York

The set-up is this: A correspond-

London relays this report to New
