SEES PERIL IN "STOMACHACHE’

Pain of Dictator Some Morning Might Start War, Speaker Says.

Spin Bg

MEY Sei 7 od

COLUMBIA, Mo., May 11 (U. P). --A man with a stomachache might cause the next war in Europe, Webb Miller, European manager of the United Press, told newspaper men attending the annual journalism week of the University of Missouri school of journalism today. So great is the power in the hands of Europe's leaders these days, Mr. Miller said, that any one of them in a moment of irritation might precipitate a situation which would lead to war. Mr. Miller, who is in the United States to cover the coming tour of the British sovereigns for United Press newspapers, spoke on “Europe Today.” “When war begins, what incident will detonate it and where it will start, I hestitate to predict,” he said. “There are so many imponderables in the situation that any prediction would be a guess.

Talks of Temper

“One of the chief imponderables|

is the human element. In the totalitarian countries especially, one man alone can dictate his nation’s destiny. He can put his country into war or take an action which might result in war before his people know what is happening. “And Europe's leaders today, like all human beings. are subject to fits of temper and to usual frailties of mankind. It is perfectly conceivable that one of them might wake up some morning with a pain in his stomach which would affect his Judgment— just as these pains affect the judgment of you and me—and the result might be some action which would lead to war.

English Lose Patience

“In my opinion, the European situation is fundamentally more explosive now than at any time during the World War. “Englishmen have about reached . the end of their patience. Their Government has made some of the most revolutionary changes in British domestic and foreign policy in history. It has entered military commitments on the continent in times of peace — thus violating a precedent of centuries. It has imposed military conscription—a move which a few months ago would have been unthinkable “It is wooing Soviet Russia—and when a Government of the British Conservative Party woos Josef Stalin, that is like Earl Browder going on a fishing expedition with Herbert Hoover.”

FARLEY STARTS ‘CAMPAIGN TRIP

Follows Policy Successful In Roosevelt Race, but Works for Self.

WASHINGTON, May 10 (U. P.).— Postmaster General Farley is en route today on a 16-day transcontinental hand-shaking and speaking tour which may lead him directly into next year’s contest for the Democratic Presidential nomination. Mr. Farley left here last night. He will speak in Cleveland and Columbus, O., today and push on to St. Louis tomorrow, without pausing in Indiana, where Paul V. McNutt is a Presidential candidate. It is almost a journey over memory lane for Mr. Farley. Just eight years ago he hit the transcontinental trail, backed by $30,000 of contributed funds, and came home

some months before the 1932 Democratic national convention with the nomination in the bag for Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York. Mr. Farley's 1939 strategy is substantially the same, except this time

has not deserted President Roosevelt. But the President has not yet asked Mr. Farley's support in 1940 nor discussed the candidacy of any man. Twelve states and 21 speeches, or formally scheduled public appearances, are on Mr. Farley's schedule. Ostensibly Mr. Farley is going West to help celebrate Postal Day at the San Francisco World's Fair. IN
