KEEPING OUT OF WAR TRIER HERE are two wavs in which neutrality legislation can help to keep America at peace: 1. By helping to prevent a European conflict, 2. By reducing the chances of our entanglement if such a war cannot be averted.
It seems to us that Secretary Hull's proposals for amending the Neutrality Act are suited to both objectives. As the act now stands, if fighting starts in Europe tomorrow the President must forbid entirely the exportation of arms, ammunition and implements of war to any of the | belligerents, But the sale and delivery of oil and cotton and | steel and a thousand other things, just as vital as machine | guns, would not be restricted. And the torpedoing of | American vessels bearing foodstuffs and fibers could point | us down the road to war just as surely as could the sinking | of cargoes of airplanes and cartridges. Mr. Hull whether tanks or come-and-get-it basis,
place all exports to belligerents— shoes or wheat—on a cash-and-carry or He would forbid American ships to enter zones of conflict, Warring nations would have to send | their own vessels to our docks, place their cash (no credit | allowed) on the barrelhead, take title to the goods, and haul them off at their own risk. Our industry and agricul- | ture would suffer a minimum of dislocation, | That seems simple and fair. Actually, of course, in a general European conflagration such a law would favor England and her allies so long as they controlled the seas and had the cash. But then it is utterly impossible to write a neutrality law that will give an even break to both sides. | And surely even Fritz Kuhn is not so stupid as to think the American people would long tolerate a law that catered to the axis at the expense of the democracies.

N Nn ”n » S the Neutrality Act now stands, if Hitler bombing fleets tomorrow against London and Paris and Warsaw and Bucharest, President Roosevelt would by law have to forbid delivery of the hundreds of fighting planes already ordered in this country by France and Britain, If Germany were convinced that he actually would apply the embargo, her estimates of her chances in a quick war would be enhanced. If, the contrary, Congress notified the world that our policy to all would be “come and get it,” then | Germany would have to revise her calculations. And to that extent the Hull proposals would tend to preserve peace in | Europe. | What do you think would happen if a war started now | and England and France, reeling under successive waves | of mass bombing which their own air fleets proved inade- | quate to prevent or avenge, pleaded for delivery of those | planes they ordered here before the war started?

Name Calling Indulged by Some New Dealers Could Prove a Sorry Precedent for Future U. S. Leaders.
EW YORK, May 30.—It is worth while {eo pause and observe that some characteristics of the New Deal might also be put to the uses of a violent reactionary or Fascist regime, A Fascist President of Huey Long's ruthless temperament or Hitler's would use methods which the radical left has indorsed to justify acts that a Communist would deeply mourn,
For example, this Government has indulged violent, hate-provoking language not only in speeches of the President himself but in occasional orations by lesser figures, notably Harold Ickes. | Of course, it pleases the radical New Dealer to hear American businessmen who are neither devils nor saints called Bourbons and Tories, and political mod- | erates called Copperheads. But it must be remems- | bered that Hitler and Goebhels are gifted name callers and that a Fascist President would claim an established right to call all his opponents Bolsheviks and traitors.

It takes no effort of the imagination to fancy the uses to which this New Deal precedent might be put by an Administration with Fascist leanings.

New Food Stamp Plan Is Termed Merely a Device to Keep Up Prices.
EW YORK, Mav 30.-—A great deal of publicity, most of it inspired, is being given to the Government’s new plan to distribute food to the needy by means of stamps. Here is the way it works. A person on relief in Rochester, or who is working for the WPA, or is getting Social Security benefits, may buy $I worth of orange-colored stamps for each member of the family, With these he will receive in addition 50 cents worth of green stamps. With the orange stamps he may buy at any grocer’s $1 worth of any groceries. ! With the green stamps, which have cost him nothing, he may buy 50 cents worth of certain foods designated by the Government, Thea foods designated thus far are flour, grapefruit, ovanges, eggs, dried prunes, corn- | meal, butter and dried beans. { The purpose of this is to enable those on relief to get a better balanced ration and to enable them to eal up the surplus, But the real purpose is the same as the purpose the Federal Commodity Surplus Corp.'s activities since it was established. This purpose is not to feed the needy but to supnert and maintain the price of certain foodstufTs to the producers thereof. I know that the managers will deny this. But I visited this agency over a vear age and looked into iis activities, When 1 went there the men 1 talked to impressed on me with the areatest care that the primary purpose of this agency was not relief but aid to growers and producers of certain products by buving up ther surplus.

SEES FASCIST TREND IN ANTIALIEN BILLS
By George A, Coleman
Fascism in America, if and when it comes, will not arrive suddenly by the fiat of some political despot. Its shadowy. outlines, already visible, point rather to a gradual inoculation of a spurious “Americanism,” which by promoting racial antagonisms and a narrow, fanatical nationalism (a la Hitler) will attempt to break down the spirit of tolerance and racial friendliness that has prevailed here and which nas made this country the world's outstanding example of working democracy The flood of tion which has cently is a point this.
