AXIS IS DELAYED

apan Is Wobbling and nd Russia Is N Is No Longer an Enemy; . Furthermore, Says Love, U. S. Doesn’t Have Enough Ships to Do Job Right.

By JOHN W. LOVE Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, July 10.—Six weeks ago the United States was on the point of instituting all-out economic war

n the Axis. But the plans have been left on the table, and if and when they are pulled out from under the pile it won’t be the same economic. war we were talking about in the

pring. ; The reasons: Japan has i been wobbling on the Axis.

: Soviet Russia is no longer in-

tentionally shipping goods to Germany, and we don’t have what it ‘takes to Bight an economic war. g For economic warfare needs ships, and ships are getting $0 ve and ighter., The big squeeze in ships is still months away, probably next autumn or winter. At the time an Office of Eco- ” nomic Warfare Mr. Love - Was being projected, several . men were mentioned for adhminis- ; trator: Will Clayton, Texas cotton » broker, the choice of Jesse Jones and Bernard Baruch; Herbert E. * Gaston, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, the choice of Henry Morgenthau Jr, and Dean Acheson, recently appointed Assistant Secretary of State.

Economic War Weapons

Weapons in economic war were to inci the sale of goods to friendly countries and denial of them to { unfriendly ones; a close licensing « system to channel the essential im«ports and exports; accelerated purchases of raw materials in South i v America; use of trade pressure on x i ¢ neutral governments; credits to i ! neutrals, and the purchase of goods ~ * to keep them from Axis hands. * Some of these measures are be- + | ing taken (like the control of ex- # ports by Brig. Gen. R. L. Maxwell), + there will be more of the same, and : the American Government is moving © steadily in the direction of com2 » plete import control and the mar- _ shaling of ocean shipping under ¢ unified direction. . « Bub others in the list cannot be .« attempted without employing more * ships than we possess, more ships than are in sight anywhere in the : world. * Several of the steps were to have been used against Japan, but the . State Department and President “Roosevelt have been more careful lately to avoid hurting the feelings of the Japanese. : Economic warfare was a system ‘of ideas and methods developed Te “more as plans than as actual prac‘tices by a group of London ~~ economists and British Government officials. One important line of , policy was the purchase of com- . =modities in the Balkans and the i Near East to keep them away from the Germans. It was the reliance of

“our money bags” to which the late Neville Chamberlain alluded in the last days of his ministry. But before the British could do much overbidding of the Germans they were too busy in the Mediterranean, their ocean shipping was melting away, and the Germans in Rumania were actually taking some of the crated products the British had paid for. -

Feel Shipping Loss : The loss of shipping has been

running ahead of all the elaborate

plans the democracies made for bending trade to the purposes of war. The tight supply of ships has to be assigned to routes from which the commodities are most needed, without much regard to how the countries we trade with feel toward

us. Stock piles of essential commodities—another department of economic war—were not started soon enough. Our present shipbuilding program was designed to meet the rate of losses on the Atlantic last winter, and apparently the group of proposals loosely called economic warfare was assembled about the same time. The increasing shortage of ships is calling forth plans to double the construction program.

REPORTS PRISONERS OF WAR AT 3 MILLION

NEW YORK, July 10 (U. P.).— Tracy Strong, world secretary of the War Prisoners Aid ‘Committee, International Y. M. C. A. said today on his return from a tour of combatant prison camps that nations at war “on the whole” are living up to treaty agreements on the treatment of war prisoners. Mr. Strong, among 25 passengers from Lisbon and 26 from Bermuda aboard Pan American Airways Dixie Clipper yesterday, said he had visited camps in Germahy, France and Great Britain. . There are now about three million prisoners of war “scattered all over the world,” he pointed out, adding that - “the greater majority, of course, are in Germany.” He did not include -political prisoners in concentration camps in his figures.

It'sa Complex, Not a Weight,

~ Mr. Muscle Man Is Hoisting

Best adjusted group of the lot,

Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, July 10.—Next time a big bare-muscled bruiser bends down and hoists 500-pound weights into the air with one hand don’t turn red and mutter to the girl friend about how you cculd do it too if it weren't for that muscle you pulled getting ice cubes out of the refrigerator tray yesterday. No—just be nonchalant. Say something casual, like: “Bad case of inferiority complex that chap has.” Or... “Hypersensitive, isn't he?” He probably has, and he probably is, according to Franklin Henry, instructor in physical education at the University of California. Mr. Henry has just wound up a study of athletes and physical education and aviation students, and what he has to say ought to redden the ears of the muscle-men. Weight lifters, said Mr. Henry, along with folks who take up similarly rigorous sports, do it because they have inferiority complexes. What's more, alongside the others tested, they're introverts, hypochrondriacs, hypersensitive, neurotic and self-conscious besides. All this, he said, -indicated that weight lifters take up the sport to “compensate for their lack of self-confidence and to better equip themselves to meet the world.” Purpose of Mr. Henry's studies was to determine what types of students enroll in physical education courses, with the object of adjusting classes to the students.

27 SCHOLARSHIPS GIVEN AT DEPAUW

he reported, were the students

majoring in physical education. Mr. Henry said this probably was because they've decided on their life goal and are working toward

it. Aviation students and athletes

other than the weight-lifters, were almost as well adjusted, he added, but not quite. And that settles that. We'll never lift another weight as long as we live!

FORRESTAL DEFENDS CONDITION OF 0-9

WASHINGTON, July 10 (U. PJ). —Acting Secretary of Navy James Forrestal said today in a letter read to the House that the Submarine 0-9 was “in good condition” at .the time she sank off Portsmouth, N. H., last month with a loss of 33 lives. The letter advised that the vessel had experienced “minor troubles usual in recom-

Signed by Fascist Chief

Monday’s appeal for volunteers to fight Communist Russia was signed by four personalities chiefly responsible for the Legion scheme. These men are Marcel Deat and Jacques Doriot, editors, and two lesser known figures, Marcel Bucaret and Pierre Constantini. Bucaret heads a small Fascist party called Francisme, founded after the Feb. 6, 1934, riots when French Rightists banded against the projected Popular Front.

Only One Enlists

Constantini, a former aviatér, was author of the militant placard which covered Paris walls after the battle of Oran (July 3, 1940), when British warships attacked and sank French vessels in that Algerian harbor. His poster screamed: “I declare war on the British.” Constantini is now leader of the anti-British “Ligue Francaise.” Of the four signers of the appeal to join the French Legion, Con-

stantini is the only one to register in it.
