JOE STALIN HOLDS HIS PEACE
GERMANY Italy and Japan their anti-comintern
pact having disappeared in favor of new associa-
tions. have joined up for military purposes for mutual
help in a new alliance. Not yet victorious in their
new expansionist undertakings they still have de-
cided that the world is their turkey. They now de-
cide how the carving shall be done and when it is
all completed how the world shall be run. For the
benefit of their own of course.
They tell the world and more especially the
democracies and more particularly the United
States that outsiders run a risk of totalitarian dis-
pleasure and even of totalitarian guns if they interfere
with the German-Italian program in Europe with the
Japanese program in Asia. The agreement signed last
week in Berlin even goes so far as to commit Japan
to war against Great Britain. Implicit in the agree-
ment too is a warning that United States use of the
great British naval base at Singapore may meet with
Japanese action.
But what of Russia? Moscow diplomacy ap-
pears to have had no hand in the affair at Berlin.
Russia did not participate. Russia was not men-
tioned so far as the news reaching the United States
is concerned. Was Russia advised in advance of the
Berlin-Rome-Tokyo agreement plans? Has she al-
ready consented to a partitioned sphere of influence?
Russia owns more territory than all three of the
other nations combined. Her empire stretches from
the Baltic on the west to Japan’s back door in the
east easily a third of the way across the upper part
of the globe.
Joe Stalin has not been heard from. The world
bears little of him little of his opinions concerning
fast moving world events of as great concern to him.
undoubtedly as they are to the other nations. There
is no reason to believe that Hitler’s ambitions toward
his east or Japan's ambitions no longer interfere
with Russia’s imperialist undertakings. Russian
diplomats in London were the first to react to the
Berlin agreement. They pointed out that if Russia
was advised of what was going on well and good;
“if not” they said “the situation is a dangerous
one. indeed.”
Berlin is not achieving the quick military decision
over England that the chancellory there had antic-
ipated. The war promises to drag out through the
winter perhaps longer. Assistance from across the
Atlantic from the United States is growing in quan-
tity. It will continue to multiply. Germany hopes
no doubt to throw a fright into the United States
from the west to menace this country' from that direc-
tion so that America instead of sending war equip-
ment to Great Britain will have to conserve all it
can produce for its own possible use.
Only one thing seems fairly certain on the Eu-
ropean continent—a long hard winter hungry and
cold populations and great suffering for many mil-
lions.
DELAYED SCHEDULE
SOME months ago there were frequent stories that
German firms were taking orders in South
America and promising September and October de-
livery under a penalty for non-performance. The
thought of course was to convince countries to the
south that Germany had the war situation so firmly
in hand that she could even call the date for its end.
It was an impressive move. Now the September-
October period is well under way but there can be
no substantial deliveries. The period has come.
“Aye Caesar but not gone.”—there still remains a
chance to make good. Rut the chance is decreasing
as each day slips hv. Meanwhile Britain strains every
nerve to keep trade with South America active and
strong. And United States trade is gaining.
During the first year of the war Hitler made
good on every promise—kept every' schedule. Doubt
for the first time now must be crossing many Latin
minds.
BRITAIN’S TOLL-AND OURS
WF continue merrily on our way killing each
month with deadly automobiles more Amer-
icans than the Germans are killing of British with
deadly bombs.
The July toll was 2760 probably more civilians
than have been killed by all the German mass raids
on England to date.
But we can get some crumb of comfort from
the thought that at last after an unbroken nine-
month rise in that toll. July showed a 2 per cent drop
from the figure of a year ago 2850. To accom-
plish this in the face of increased traffic and the vaca-
tion travel season is something. Local campaigns in
many cities and the continuing pressure of the Na-
tional Safety Oouncil give hope that we have at last
arrested the upward sweep of the toll of the auto-
mobile invented and developed for our pleasure and
profit but so often carelessly turned into a scatterer
of tragedy and death.

By Paul Mal lon
W^ASHINGTON—An »lr cf grim
nonchalance has been official-'
ly maintained here at the dicta- J
tors' triple alliance against th*
United States but the first news of
it knocked the state department
bark on its heels.
The day before the pact was
made public Mr. Hull and associates
still considered the rumors of Ger-
man diplomatic activity in Japan as
trial balloons to test American
sentiment. When the news came
through some lesser officials
thought a typographical mistake
had been made and Spain must
have been the third party to the
agreement instead of Jajan
The official inside version Is that
the alliance was not a result of the
Mussolmi-von Ribbentrop collabora-
tion conferences as appeared (or
the destroyer transfer to Britain
as everyone thinks* but was taken
cn the initiative of Japan under an
cld pre-arranged plan.
For some time our authorities
have had information Indicating
Japan had arranged with Germany
to sign such a tact if the United
S ates ever applied an embargo on
■ .scrap iron. Unfortunately they
say the Japanese learned of Mr.
Roosevelt’s intention to apply the
I embargo several days before he took
that action and the agreement was
[prepared at Berlin hastily to fol-
low hastily within 24 hours.
But they certainly did not expect
the ball to bounce back at them
as swiftly or forcefully as it did.
and they have had no advance ln-
I formation itjecifically on the Ber-
lin arrangement.
.- —
Y^/’HILE SURFACE comment is
casual forceful views of the
situation are everywhere privately
expres-ed. A casual official tone
was adopted to thwart the manifest
purpose of the dictators to arouse
people In this country against fur-
ther help of Involvement in Eu-
rope and the Far East Adminis-
tration strategists agreed at once
the furiire course of the Roosevelt
government mast be gulrled entirely
by the popular reaction to the alli-
ance in the United States.
Even the best of administration
publicity men seemed to have no
idea what to expect They were di-
vided between the suspicion that a
popular American movement might
arise to counsel retreat from the
steps this government has been
taking and the opposite possibility
that. Americans generally might
become so angered at this threat
they would demand further strong-
er action.
The best advice to the public
seemed to rest in the reaction of
military men who are always cool-
er. calmer Judges than the diplo-
mat*. Unlike the fluttery states-
men thfv were not at all perturb-
ed. They based their slew-point on
the obvious geographical fact tha*
Germany and Italy cannot possibly
help Japan or vice versa no matter >
how m?ny promises are written on
paper. To them the agreement was
about as solemn as the Franco-
13; itish promise to protect Czecho-
slovakia before Munich. Results
could not be delivered as long as
Britain controls the seas they said
'THE TEMPTATION for the Unit-
ed States to turn upon Japan
the military men regarded as allur-
ing but deceitful Our naval
strength In the Pacific could no
doubt defeat* Japan in war. but at
least a vear to a year and a hall
would be tequl ed. Furthermore in- j
volvement now would be Just what
Hitler want* In order to divert sup-
plies from 'tain. The truth
w hich is known In Berlin. Rome and
Tokyo even better than among our
own people is that this nation;
would be unable to put a minimum
fighting army of a million men Into
the field before . uly 1941. Another
six month* would be required to
equip and prepare the necessary re-
serves. Our accumulations of fight-
ing ships will not provide a two-
ocean navy for many years there-
after.
"THE POPULAR Interpretation
that the empty alliance Is a
blow to Russia is disputed by all
private Information. Stalin wa?
fully aware of the stop* leading to
the move and has been smiling
gleefully over the result* of It. As
long as Japan is involved with the
United States she will offer no
trouble to her favorite and funda-
mental Far Eastern enemy the
communist*. A war between the
United States and Japan would be
the best thing that could befall the
outmaneuvrred but not unlucky
dictator in the Kremlin.

WASHINGTON—In aU thli ex-
citement about men between th#
ages of 21 and 3* registering on
Oct. l# for possible service in the
armed forces of the United States
the chaps who may be in a class
all by themselves are those whose
smiles are due not to nature'!
handiwork but to man’s.
In other words denturea. Or
false teeth. Or store teeth.
The old army regulation about
soldiers' teeth will still be in ef-
fect when the selective service
machine calls men up Tor question-
ing. The army s minimum require-
ment is >hat the soldier shall have
three upper biting teeth meeting
three lower ones and three upper
chewing teeth meeting three lower
ones.
Soup Sipper* Out
In taking men for the draft th#
army leaders want the best physic-
al specimens they can find. So
teeth are an important item. They f
don't want this kind of thing to ™
happen:
Colonel: Sergeant what are the
men having for dinner today?"
Sergeant: “Sir. they are having
roast beef fried potatoes canned
beans hard rolls and nice fresh
apples "
Colonel: “Too bad. Sergeant.
Thirteen of our men have reported
they either lost or broke their
teeth plates The cook *111 have to
prepare a special meal of soup soft-
boiled eggs spoon bread and apple
sauce for them. Something they
don't have to chew."
This man's army is going to be
an army that can chew any grub
dished up to it.
Plenty of Walking
It Is also going to be an army
that can walk its way to places.
ATter being duly trained the draft-
ees will ultimately be expected to
take 15 miles in their stride car-
rying a 50-pound pack This means
that men with varicose veins or
flat feet or fallen arches may bo
looked over twice and thrice before
the medicos decide to take them
tor service.
The same goes for good sight and
hearing. These latter exemptions S
lead to many attempts to evade
service by faking bad sight or bad -
hearing or both' I asked one of the
higher-up medical army officer!
how they would prevent rtlalinger-
ing on the part of men otherwise
fit for service. His reply was that
they had up their sleeves a beg OT
tricks which would expose a fakir.
These things especially need say-
ing because many men otherwise
physically fit and even anxious to
join the armed services have writ-
ten In to the NEA-Herald Selective
Service Information Bureau asking
about these very' matters.
Standards Higher
The false impression has gone
abroad that In taking men in the
selective service draft the standards
required for the regular army and
navy wouid be considerably lower-
ed This is entirely wrong.
About the only concessions made
are that man mav be a bit short-
er. and also lighter tn weight than
the armed services usually require.
Otherwise the standards will be
much higher than they were in the
draft during the last World War
Then the country at war. was In
a big hurry to draft men and %
train them. Now the nation is at *
peace but is training for prepared-
ness.
With the vast number of men to
choose from the armv Is going to
be increased bv real selective ser-
vice. not only by the way m which
the numbers are drawn but by the
way the individual men arr finally
chosen. They will not be the run
of the lot They will be the pick oT
