U. S. MARKS MEMORIAL DAY: F.D. R. LEADS OBSERVANCE

Japan, Germany, Italy-Take ~ Advantage of Present Confusion.

BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Secripps-Howard Foreign Edite

WASHINGTON, May 3u. — Memorial Day, 1936, dawned upon a world more torn by strife and more gripped by fear of conflicts to come than at any time within living

memory. Taking advantage of the unprecedented confusion, three powers— Japan, Germany and: Italy—are preparing to present f ‘dazed mankind, with new 8 accompli fraught with incalcu.able consequences. Japan is pouring additional troops into North China, as part of Nippon’s systematic process of absorption. And China, too weak to help herself, has abandoned hope of help from outside. The League of Nations has broken down and Soviet Russia, China's neighbor, can be of little assistance lest Europe explode while her hands are tied in the Far East.

Germany Moves to Block Nazis

Germany is beginning the fortification of the Rhineland to block Prance while the Nazis annex the territory of Germanic and other peoples in Eastern and Southeastern Europe. Confidential reports from Germany indicate that Herr Hitler is working day and night to prepare his war machine in time to strike before the rest of Europe and the world come out of their tailspin. Italy 4s preparing to quit the League if Britain and France remain hostile and sanctions are pressed. Whereupon a new and dangerous coalition may be born including Nippon, Germany and Italy.

Reason Is Explained

The reason for this unquestionably dangerous trend is primarily

curity system. The League, as now constituted, has proved ineffective. And, as yet, there is nothing to take its place. Unless the League is reformed and strengthened, a return to the perilous balance-of-power system is inevitable. But, for the

moment, there is only chaos, na-|,

tional and international. Great Britain, key to European peace, is paralyzed by indecision. Her government is split. Her people are divided. Many are pro-German but anti-Nazi. Some want to make friends with Italy. Others insist II Duce must be crushed. Some advocate quitting the . moribund League, while still other powerful groups would even go to war to uphold the covenant. Some want ah alliance with France. Some would abandon France entirely, leaving her to Germany. France is threatened with even greater internal chaos. It is impossible to foresee what will happen in France for so brief a space as the next 30 days. Next week Leon Blum, Socialist leader, will become premier. He has risen to power with the help of the Communists. Already plants are being seized by Communist-inspired workers, it is alleged. If Blum does not march with the Communists they will make trouble. If he does march with them the Middle and Right will make trouble.

France May Be Helpless

France, therfore, may find herself - helpless, unable to lend a hand to patch up the stalled peace machine—even were Britain able to come out of her trance and make a try.

Only Germany, Italy and Japan among the strong powers of the Eastern hemisphere have any very definite program. Only they know exactly what they want or whither they are bound. Even the Soviet Union wavers in the presence of her Eastern and Western frontiers of Germany and Japan, which countries, she fears, plan to attack together. The League of Nations.is scheduled to mee: the middle of June. Already there is talk of postponement. For there is no common aim. There is disagreement over sanc-

tions. Some nations, disgruntled;|

are on the point of resigning. Others, like Argentina, demand action now or they may quit. The result of it all is that the * world is drifting towards new and worse conflicts and the making of more soldiers’ graves to decorate.

GOV. M’NUTT SPEAKS AT GETTYSBURG RITE

Glory of Cacrifice Heroes’ Gift to World, He Says. Times Special GETTYSBURG, Pa., May 30. — “The only glory of war is the glory of sacrifice. It is the soldier's gift to the world. It is the life of ithe world,” Gov. McNutt of Indiana said

ay. In a plea for a renewal of the spirit incorporated in the words of “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address,” Gov. McNutt spoke here at Memorial Day services on the Gettysburg battlefield. “These monuments will crumble in.the mighty grasp of time. These flowers we place today will fade and wither. The true monuments to the

President Joins Ceremonies to Soldier Dead at Arlington.

By United Press WASHINGTON, May 30.— President Roosevelt led the nation today in honoring military and naval heroes who died in defense of their coun-

try. The chief executive was to join with other government officials and prominent military and naval heroes at Memorial Day ceremonies at noon in the beautiful ampitheater at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington Cemetery. Gen. John J. Pershing, commander in chief of the American Expeditionary forces during the World War, was to make the principal address at Arlington, largest of the nation’s military burial grounds. His address was to be broadcast over a nation-wide network. President Roosevelt planned to attend the ceremonies with other members of his official family, but was not scheduled to speak.

Nation Joins Ceremonies

The Arlington ceremonies, held under auspices of Veterans of the Civil, Spanish-American and World Wars, were being reproduced on smaller scale at thousands of cemeteries throughout the nation. In all of official Washington, the United States Senate was the only body to forego a Memorial Day holiday. All other government departments were closed for the day. The Senate, eager to leave Washington by June 6, was forced to hold one of its rare Saturday sessions in an effort to clear the adjournment path of remaining “must” legislation. The House was in recess. At conclusion of the Arlington cetemonies, President Roosevelt planned to motor to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis and board his yacht, Potomac, for a week-end cruise down Chesapeake Bay.

Marchers heard music of the Indianapolis Newsboy band, the beat of the fife and drums of patriotic organizations and the Memorial Day address of Dr. Abraham 8S. Woodard.

Ideals Measure Value

Dr. Woodard said: “The value of any institution is measured by the ideals for which men lived and died. Measured by this standard we do well in paying tribute today to the men who defended our American institutions in the hour when disruption threatened. “Most people believe that war is wrong in principle. It is to be hoped, however, that the imperish-

fered and died in past wars may never be lost. . “While nations are in grave danger during international and civil

men: and nations have lost their ideals and find no principles to call forth their best devotion. “The highest purpose of this Memorial Day can best be achieved by calling our citizens to the proper conception of moral discipline and a most emphatic emphasis upon the value of life, liberty and the righteous pursuit of happiness,” he concluded.

Three buglers were to sound “Taps.” During the Monument rites the graves of the war dead in three cemeteries were to be decorated. The Alvin P. Hovey Woman's Relief Corps was in charge of the rites at Mount Jackson. William Henry Harrison and Dr. R. M. Dodbrill were the speakers.

Attorney Speaks at Rite

Dr. Dodrill gave the invocation. Mr. Harrison, Indianapolis attorney, in his address said the American people are losing sight of their heritage of self government and are becoming selfish and self-centered. “One of the biggest dangers confronting us today is the lack of interest in our government,” he said.

ial Day address, while at Ebenezer Cemetery the homage was to be paid by Capt William Ball. At New: Crown cemetery, Mr. Lince, Emanuel Baptist Church pastor, said. “The real trouble today is not be found with our government, but in the American pulpit, where hundreds of sickly ‘pinks’ have cast the message of the Bible to the winds and are preaching Socialism and call themselves ‘the friends of the Soviets.’ The World War was fought to make the world safe for democracy, not for Communism, Jingoism, or any other ism.”

The massing of the colors, decoration of graves "by children, a rifle salute, with “Taps” played by Boy Scout buglers are to be other highlights of the ceremonies. Round Hill, Anderson and Concordia Cemeteries also are to hold ceremonies. The speakers, respectively, are to be Municipal Judge Wilfred Bradshaw, Col. Thomas L. Sherburne and the Rev. William Meinzen. Many of those who did not attend the race or the Memorial Day services planned picnics in parks. Roller-coasting at amusement parks, golfing, tennis or motoring out to “Aunt Mary's’ for a ehicken dinner were scheduled by others. Special Shows Held

Theaters held special Memorial Day shows. Dance palaces prepared for’ special entertainment of visitors. Taverns did a rush business with closing hour set for 2 tomorrow

Office buildings, stores and faetories were closed. ‘A few neighborhood groceries kept morning hours. Ice men worked overtime. The mailmen had a day off, with hotel delivery, general delivery and a few windows open for parcel post

hall and Federal offices were closed.
