was but one part of a complex but
vividly clear picture of what is hap-

it is believed in most chancellories,
a wedding of Russia and Germany,
of Communism and Naziism, will
stack these military juggernauts
against the rest of Europe. Among
the signs:

Nazi Party Chieftain Dr. Robert Ley
showed how leftism has grown in
Germany by using the Marxian

That feeling became so bitter that in
parts of Mr. Wilson's inner circle,
they ran the colonel's name and ti-
tle together in pronouncing and for-
got the "h" in his surname.

There is no danger of that kind of
result here. Mr. Roosevelt has no
"twin soul." Sumner Welles, in spite
of a rather snooty Groton-Harvard
exterior and his apparent authorship
of the absurd "safety zone" around
the Americas, is a good listener and
a man not likely to exceed his au-
thority in committing his country to
anything not authorized by his boss.
If we get mired in European mud
beyond our depth, it will be by no
over-reaching or indiscretion of Mr.
Welles. It will be because our all-
highest willed it so.
That the boss has reached such a
conclusion now is not likely. He

Mr. Roosevelt feels a heavenly call

London,

ant Secretary of
the Navy.
Whether intended or not, this and
all his recent actions and expres-
sions, tend to be,
first, an argu-
ment for a third
term and second,
if he gets it, a
mandate to go
farther in mixing
us in European |
affairs.
The argument
will be that, by
this increasingly
close contact with
the interior
stresses a n d Franklin
strains of the Eu- vejt jn
ropean vortex, no
new administra-
tion would be as
well fitted to deal
with it. If he is overwhelmingly
elected, the "mandate" will be that
his pre-election actions sufficiently
revealed his purpose to take a domi-
nant part in the reconstruction of the
world and that his election would in-
dicate a vote of confidence in that
policy and a popular command to
carry it further.
The effect, if not the purpose of
sending Mr. Welles on this mission
when neither belligerent seems to
have requested it, or even especially
to welcome it, is the cleverest kind
of both personal and political strat-
egy.
Mr. Welles has a colleague and
Mr. Roosevelt an international ad-
viser in assistant secretary of state
Adolf Berle, the ex-infant prodigy or
—if you like an alternative phrasing
—the infant ex-prodigy. Mr. Berle
has recently uttered very expansive
thoughts on our coming re-enact-
ment of our 1919 role as saviour of
the world.
We would again bail out its bat-
tered hulk financially by the use of
the gold we have purchased from
it at nearly double its value—giving
it back if necessary.
• * •
The generosity of some • great
"thinkers" with other people's mon-
ey is almost divine. In addition to
generosity, Mr. Berle has the su-
preme self-confidence of a really
brilliant intellect. Without a mis-
giving, he would undertake financial
reorganization of heav:;n without a
retainer, or charge hell with a pail
of water. So would the President.

LEWIS' BID
John L. Lewis' proposal for a joint
convention of C. I. O and A. F. of L.
unions to vote on a simple proposi-
tion for merger is being criticized
by both A. F. of L. leaders and
some columnar pundits as insincere.
Technically, it is true that a joint
convention giving the rank and file
of A. F. of L. the right to vote on
healing this rift, would not have a
constitutional right to admit C. I. O.
unions and give them A. F. of L.
charters—but isn't that an awful

Near East. Arrival of 100,000 Brit-

coincided with an alarming growth
of war talk. The Balkans, led by
Turkey, were forming a strong
mutual-defense frontier against
Nazi-Russian penetration. Russian
frontiers of Turkey, Iran, Afghanis-
tan and India were strengthened,
either for defense against the Reds
or for a lightning allied stroke
against Russian oil wells.

In the West. Quiet, as usual, but

In the North. Finnish troops re-
treated on the Karelian isthmus, but

BUSINESS:
Insurance Quiz
Under the temporary national
economy committee's spotlight in
Washington went U. S. insurance
companies. When the examination
was finished, this thriving enterprise
had acquired a lot of unpleasant
publicity.
First witness was Leon Hender-
; son, securities and exchange com-

to prove it:

The latter bill would only authorize
new construction: actual funds must
come from separate legislation. Pri-
marily concerned about the big sup-
ply bill, the house expected to re-
store part of the cut.

'Missy' in Trouble

WASHINGTON.—A long series of
backstage conversations, some in-
formal, some obscure, have preced-
ed the European peace trip of Under-
secretary of State Welles.
Some have been carried on by
accredited diplomats, some by pure-
ly unofficial envoys, and some actu-
ally have got into the state depart-
ment's hair. Here is a description
of one confidential peace overture
in which the President was interest-
ed, which also throws light on the
Roosevelt row with John L. Lewis.
In late September, about three
weeks after war broke, W. R. Davis,
the international oil man, was visit-
ing with John L. Lewis and Walter
Jones of Pittsburgh in the latter's
apartment, and told of various con-
versations he had had with Hitler.
Davis had been selling Mexican
oil to Germany, was intimate with
high-placed Nazis, and told of their
ideas for permanent European
peace.
"I think the President ought to
know about this," remarked John L.
Lewis, and went into an anteroom
where he called the President. He
had no difficulty getting him, and
Next day John A. Stevenson, pres- j said: "Mr. President, there's a

ment.
British Secret Service.
When Davis arrived at the White
House he was introduced to Adolf
Berle, assistant secretary of state,
and noticed, during his conversation
with Roosevelt, that Berle was busy
taking notes.
This caused Davis to protest "I
thought this was to be a confiden-
tial conversation between you and
me."
"Oh, Adolf's all right," and the
President brushed the protest aside.
In the end, Roosevelt suggested
that Davis fly back to Germany, get
any concrete peace proposals which
Hitler might have, and report back.
So Davis caught the Clipper for
Portugal. The first stop was Ber-
muda, where a plainclothes man
tapped him on the shoulder and
said: "Come along with me. I'd
like to talk to you."
He turned out to be a member of
the British secret service, who
warned Davis to go back to the

COURTS:
3 Decisions
In Washington the U. S. Supreme
court made news by three decisions:
C. On Lincoln's birthday, it saved
four Florida Negroes from death,
ruling that murder confessions were
obtained by "secret, inquisitorial"
police methods after five days of
the Negroes' constitutional rights.
<1. It created a furore by ruling that

though he
was 38 years
old and had
been just a
clock-puncher instead of a watcher
before this hair-pin turn in his ca-
reer routed him to fame. We cite
Dr. Frank Conrad, the "father of
radio broadcasting," recently
awarded the gold medal of the
American institute for his "guiding
genius in developing the world's
first radio broadcasting system."
The master clock which ticked
off his higher destiny hung in
the plant of the Westinghouse
company in Pittsburgh. It was
a highly reputable old clock, but
Mr. Conrad didn't altogether
trust it. He and another em-
ployee made a bet as to which
had the more accurate watch,
through a week of time-keeping.
Mr. Conrad refused to aeccpt
the decision of the office clock.
In an unused garage near his
home at Wilkinsburg, he rigged
a crude receiving apparatus to
catch time signals from the na-
vai station at Arlington, Va. He
caught tliem, but he also caught
some added starters which he
could not at first explain. Em-
ploying a primitive direction-
finding device, he located them
as apparently springing from a
slag heap about a block away.
He didn't find the source there,
but he did find it a few steps
farther on with one John Cole-
man, among the lonely impresa-
rios of the first feeble birth cries
of radio.
That was in 1912. Mr. Conrad in-
iidentally won the bet on his $5
watch against its $40 rival, but he
forgot all about mere time signals.
He and Coleman teamed their re-
searches and began filtering ghostly
phonograph recordings through the
intervening slag heap. The rest is
an old story—the historic KDKA

Tribune published a juicy story. Its Black
gist:
The peace mission was conceived
by Welles himself, who slipped in
through the White House back door
one day and outlined his idea in
glowing terms before Marguerite
"Missy" LeHand, the presidential
secretary "who is rated to have

more influence in the throne room
than anyone else." Said the Tribune
story: " 'Missy' thought it a grand
idea and laid it before the President.
Mr. Roosevelt, who was in a most
receptive mood for a new peace
drive, beamed and called in Mr.
Welles and commissioned him on
the spot to set out upon the great
adventure."
Whatever the facts, the Presi-
dent's two ace diplomats showed up
in Washington next day and were
reportedly displeased. Up from
Miami came Joe Kennedy, ambas-
sador to Britain. Home from Paris
came Bill Bullitt, ambassador to
France. Why, they allegedly asked,
did the President prefer Mr. Welles'
unseasoned opinions on Europe to
their own painstaking studies?
Apprised of the gossip, Secretary
of State Cordell Hull and White
House Secretary Steve Early took
pains to deny any rift. Said Mr.
Hull: "I do not think a more cap-
able person could be sent upon the
European mission."
While Sumner Welles sailed for
Europe to visit chancellories in Lon-
don, Berlin, Paris, Rome, etc., an-
other presidential coup was com-
ing home to roost. The Vatican,
which holds no diplomatic status
with the U. S. because of Protestant
objections, nevertheless announced
that Myron Taylor (whom the Pres-
ident named his "personal" envoy
to Pope Pius XII) would be given
official status as ambassador from
the U. S. While Baptists fumed, the
Vatican calmly pointed out that
any agent must have diplomatic cre-
dentials if he is to ha reenffnized.
AGRICULTURE:
Parity for '40
While the farm bloc was busy try-
ing to wheedle $200,000,000 for 1941
parity payments out of an economy-
bent congress, the agriculture de-
partment began using the $225,000,-
000 authorized (but not provided for)
last year. Payments would be made
this year, it was ruled by the last
congress, if 1939 average farm
prices were less than 75 per cent
of parity—which is the 1909-14 aver-
age a3 related to farm purchasing
power. Since prices were below
parity, the agriculture department
announced 1940 payments of 1.5
cents ($96,000,000) per pound on cot-
ton; 10 cents ($57,100,000) a bushel
on wheat; five cents ($48,600,000) a
bushel on corn, and 1.7 cents ($300,-
000) a hundredweight on rice.
AVIATION:
Boom
When Europe went to war, and
especially when cash-and-carry neu-
trality took effect, everyone knew
the U. S. aviation industry was in
for boom times. After six months
of war the boom had surpassed ex-
pectations. In southern California
alone there was a backlog of some
$200,000,000 in orders for the U. S.
and foreign powers. But within 30
days, a survey indicated, mass de-
livery will begin on thousands of
ships.
Already filled since the boom be-
gan last summer have been orders
for 1,450 combat planes; still un-
completed are 7,700 more. Major
foreign sales have been to France
and Britain, which ordered 5,000
ships. But only about 350 craft have
been delivered of the 4,450 ordered
by the U. S. army and navy.
Meanwhile, however, the U. S. is
profiting on more recent designs,
hence will get the best of the new
ships. Typical is the army's new
four-motor bomber. Carrying four
tons of bombs and a nine-man crew
at 300 m. p. h. the ship will give
any enemy a run for his money.
MISCELLANY:
Import From Poland
C. At Berlin, Field Marshal Hermann
Goering announced 1,000,000 Poles
will be imported to work German
farms, bolstering the Nazi larder
without taking men from the front
lines.

all about the Davis peace trip.
However, Davis raised such a fuss
that he was finally allowed to pro-
ceed—though not until after the
Clipper had been kept 24 hours in
Bermuda waiting for him.
From that point on, the British
did everything possible to handicap
Davis, even canceling his passage
from Portugal so that he had to
take a plane to Morocco and thence
on to Germany. But at last Davis
got to Berlin, interviewed the high-
est Nazi leaders, and flew back to
the United States, arriving in late
October.
With him he carried several long,
closely written pages in German,
giving the ideas on which Hitler
was willing to discuss peace.
American Detectives.
Davis took an apartment in the
Mayflower and began to translate
the document. Then, suddenly, he
discovered two men sitting outside
his door. They were G-men.
At this point Walter Jones, close
friend of Davis, went to the man-
agement to complain. There he dis-
covered that not merely two G-
men, but five were in the hotel, and
that they had trailed Davis from
the moment he registered. Appar-
ently the British secret service and
the justice department were work-
ing closely together—and neither for
peace.
A day or so later, Davis presented
the German peace plan orally to
Berle for transmission to the Presi-
dent. Present also was Walter
Jones, but no one else. It was em-
phasized that the entire conversa-
tion was strictly confidential.
This was at noon. Later that day
Davis and Jones motored to Har-
risburg, Pa., where a phone call
from Washington reached them—a
query from a newspaper man.
"The state department tells me
that you and W. R. Davis have
brought a peace proposal from Ger-
many," the newsman asked Jones.

mourning that no dark-skinned

The little, brown, diligent
head-man of Santo Domingo is
unpredictable. Since he took
power 10 years ago, the junta of
exiles here has been stacking
him up as another Hitler. But
just now, he signs a contract
admitting 500 families of exiles
from Germany and Poland, do-
nates them 24,000 acres of land
and says provision will be
made for 100,000 additional set-
tlers in the future. The con-
tract grants citizenship to the
newcomers and pledges their
freedom from "molestation, dis-
crimination or persecution."
He was a farm boy who learned
fighting and ball-playing with the
marines, during an eight-year pe-
riod, ending in 1924 with the end of
occupation. He's a fast shortstop.
In the Dominican army he romped
up through grades from private to
general.
In 1930, he tipped over old
President Velasquez and took
the country. In the framework
of a democracy, he made him-
self a 100 per ccnt dictator and
his enemies admit that he has
made a tidy little nation out of
a jungle. He put the opposition
in jail.
He has the cleanest of the Latin-
American countries and boasts that
there is neither crime nor unem-

decreed that all automobiles should
have lettered on their license plates,
"Viva Trujillo!" He also had con-
gress officially proclaim him, "ben-

He has a beautiful residential es-
