An Old Prediction
Comes to Light
A week after the Russo-German
war started, one of my listeners
called my attention to a fading rec-
on} of the foreign relations of. the ,
United States, of July 11, 1919.
It is a report of the then vice
consul at’ Viborg, Robert Imbrie,
who was later killed in Teheran,
Persia. The report describes in de-
tail the struggle between the White
Russians and Bolshevicks (that is
the state department spelling at the
time.) It urges that the United
States give sanction to an attack on
Russia by the Finnish forces which
represented an army and navy
which Vice Consul Imbrie said "is
quite capable of taking Petrograd
(Leningrad).”
Mr. Imbrie concludes:
“It has long been apparent that
Russia, as an economic factor has,
under the Bolshevicks, ceased to ex-
ist, at least so far as the United
States and the Allied Nations are
concerned. Where formerly she pro-
duced food in such quantities that
it formed a large item of her ex-
port, now she is starving, a condi-
tion directly attributable to Bolshe-
vick misrule and terrorism. The
world fc not only shut off from one
of the greatest commercial markets,
but it is,also deprived of one great
source of food supply. The agents
of Germany,'with an eye to the com-
mercial and political future, are tak-
ing full advantage of the existing
conditions. Already the feeling ‘ ot
Bolshevick Russia ic with Ger-
many."
I never met Mr. Imbrie but his
tragedy came back loan oddly per-
sonal way today whea I received the
letter containing the above refer-
ence. Some 10 years after Imbrie
was killed I was on a hiking trip in
the Green mountains and a friend
of nqjne. loaned me

learned that the flagon; which had
cooled my lips with the waters of
Vermont’s mountain springs had
once belonged to the murdered con-
sul. Now, his ghost comes back
with a prediction be made in 1923,
at the time of the Lausanne con-
ference.
“Within a decade,” my informant
quotes Imbrie assaying, privately,
then, "hell.^will break loose with
more fury than ever.- Bessarabian
oil will be the decisive factor.”

National Indian Day
Is Being Planned
A National Indian day for Amer-
ica!
That is what J. A. Youngren of
Pocatello, Idaho, proposes. He tells,
me that 18 state governors are ready
to co-operate in such an undertak-
ing. Washington has heard about
it, too, —— —---------1—
I remember my first Indian day.
I “did* not know what it was then.
It was in western Washington.
There was a knock at the door of
our home. My mother, who, like
the rest of the family, was fresh
from "the East” (Illinois), an-
swered the knock. I was frightened.
Maybe she was, for all her pioneer
blood. For there silhouetted against
the afternoon was the tallest man
I ever saw—and wrapped in a blan-
ket. He wanted my father, who was
justice of the peace) And when the
brave learned he wasn't there he
went away peacefully, leaving only
a faint odor of salmon behind him.
I have known a few Indians my-
self. Jim Thorpe whom I once in-
terviewed, football star of Carlisle,
and young Afraid-of-a-Bear who
served with me in France in the
artillery. I am not mentioning the
100 per cent Americans with Indian
blood like my fraternity brother in
the university. Freeman Morgan.
So I am for this Indian day—
tepee, tomahawk, papoose-and all.
And 1'11 bet that Skeeter Vogt, edi-
tor of the Gallup (N. M.) Gazette,
when he reads this in his own paper
will agree with me. So ought the
rest of the paler faceif who mighty
not be here now if the Red Men
had HSU 8 couple* of panzer divi-
sions and a few less pipes of peace.

RUSSIANS:
A Picture
Gradually, as the Russo-German
war moved into the latter part of
the first month, a growingly clearer
picture of the situation could be ob-
tained.
Stripped of equivocal commu-
niques, and delving behind these
with the aid of town names and gen-
eral lines, here was the portrait of
" conditions at that period: '
The Germans, together with their
allies, had attacked along a 1,100
mile front, with initial quick success
in the extreme north, in the central
district, and a slower success in the
south.
This continued, with the Russians
falling back and burning towns and
supplies as far as possible for about
(» a week or 10 days.
Then the German advance ran
, into the Stalin line and an entirely
different tempo of Russian resist-
ance. It was almost as though a
large* train had run into a resilient
obstacle, which halted it gently and
then even began to shove it back-
ward.
The Russian communiques paint-
ed this picture as far more favorable
to the Reds, and the Germans mink
mized or ignored thihgs, and fpoke
of everything being "expected,? and
"running on schedule." All this, of
course, might be true, depending on
the schedule.
From other points came data,
however, tending to show that the
German machine had perhaps not
met its master, but at any rate a
foeman worthy of its *teel, and one
that was not going to be a "push-
over" in the sense of previous op-
ponents.

ear to the project as well,
war in - uuiupc to *•
is with many-other civilian pursuits.
Here’s the Job.
The job that the experts say has
to be done, in a nutshell is this: The
central portion of the eastern side
of,*the building (which faces the
Capitol plaza) must be extended 32
feet. 6 inches.
. “This extension is recommended
for two purposes,” said Architect
Lynn, "First, in order to correct the
architectural defect -in the building,
which exists due to the skirt or
base of the dome extending over the
east portico in such a manner as to
give the appearance of apparent lack
of support to the dome. The second
reasqn for tttk gtep, ifc Movide
additional enFneedetr
tions and to replace the^Wisting
sandstone exterior with marble."
"Few people know it,” Mr. Lynn
added, "but one reason why we have
to paint the building every four
years is to make the central part,
which is sandstone, match the wings
which are marble."
Extension of the east front would
give 58 much needed extra rooms,
provide a passage for members of
congress directlfikdrom one chamber
to the other on all floors. Now when
there is a joint 'session or when
members of one house want to pass
to the other they have to squeeze
through the main corridors, which
are frequently packed with visitors.’
Space Badly Needed.0
The additional offices are badly
needed and now that radio has come
to take its place beside the press as
a medium for reporting the doings
of congress to the people more space
would be welcomed by the radio cor-
respondents. At present the radio
newsmen are tucked in between pil-
lars in the house and sery
in offices from which it is
ficult to broadcast. v ----
Visitors who call upon their rep-
resentatives in the Capitol may be
surprised that they have to talk to
them right out in the lobby, for
members of the house have no pub-
lic waiting room. The addition
would make such an accommoda-
tion possible.
Many hearings have been held on
legislation authorizing the finishing
of the Capitol, which would complete
the work of the famous Thomas
Hugh Walter. This talented archi-
tect planned the two wings which
accommodate the senate and the
house, respectively, and the short
corridors which connect them to the
central portion of the building. He
also replaced the wooden dome,
erected after the burning of the Cap-
itol, with a metal one. But, ac-
cording to the experts who have
studied his plans and sketches, he
never intended to let that massive
cone that has become the symbol of
the federal city perch precariously
on its foundation* with its "skirt”
hanging over the edge of the roof.
Mr. Walter would have extended

activities. Then, jus$, as congress

ICELAND:
A Move
The sudden step which President
Roosevelt took in ordering the oc-
cupation of Iceland by American
naval forces, and the p|an to thus re-
lieve the British in the handling of
that distant adjunct of the occupied
■. Danish kingdom not only clarified
the present foreign policy but
brought repercussions on both sides
of the- Atlantic.
These were both favorable and un-
favorable to the move, the Brit-
ish hailing it with obvious delight as
"putting teeth” and definiteness into
the U. S. policy of insuring arrival
of legse-lend aid ahd the fullest co-
operation short of war with Britain.
The Axjs powers, as were to be
expected, were quoted variously as
vigorously opposing* such action
which, apparently,' they did not
learn of uhtil it was an accom-
“ plished fact. The Germans said the
U. S. now had troops "in the war
aone" and could expect results; the
Italians called it a "provocative"
step; and the Japanese called it "do

More interesting were the specu-

Nui souroes recalling in their com-
on the President’s action the
fact that he had spoken previously
of the strategic import, from a
•* Western hemisphere viewpoint, of
the Azores, the Cape Verde islands,
and Dakar, African port.
The'* President also made clear
that geographical definitions of the
IVestern hemisphere, as far as he
is concerned, do not make much dif-
ference, and that when one is de-
fending a certain section of the
globe, it is more important to "out-
guess the other fellow" than to draw
geographical limitations on your ac-
tivities.

SYRIA:
End of ff ar
The official announcement that a
formal request for an armistice hpd |
come to the British from General
Dentz of the Vichy defenders
seemed to bring an end to a cam- |
paign which anded on the saddest
of possible notes.
Churchill struck the British atti-
tude by saying:
"I hardly need say h<jw very glad

ing conflict in which 1.000 to 1.50C j

This was a gentle way of acquaint-
ing the people with the number of
casualties there had been* in the
British forces. How many the, Free :
French, under De Gaulle, had lost,
was not mentioned, but it was be-
lieved to have been heavier, as they
assumed the brunt of the attack.
Alfred Duff Cooper said: '
”1 am horrified to hear that funds
are being collected to celebrate the
victory in Syria.” ~
The decision of General Dentz to
sue fox peace ,c.anje at a time when
the pressure was being put heavily |
on Beirut, which, it turned out,
was the key to the whol^ campaign.

The mastery of the daytime air
on the western front of the war re-
mained with the R A F., which was
carrying out bombing attacks in the
new large lempo, with squadrdna
aloft by day and by night.
It was revealed that the Nazia
now have floating anti aircraft bat-
teries around Wilhe|nr\shaven, and
that flights of bombers which meet
with no resistance at all over the
French coastal areas except from
anti-aircraft fire, are meeting with
conaiderable fighter resistance as
»oon as they get over Germany.

AXIS:
Sickness?
Two American incidents tended to
show th^^ since the start of the Rus-
sian campaign, even before, there
had been some signs within Ger-
many and Italy of what might be
termed Axis sickness.
Walter Alexander, 57 • year - old
American citizen born in Germany,
left there about six weeks ago. He “
had been in the real-estate busj- 1 M
ness in Berlin since 1933. 1
He finally arrived in Jersey City, '
where he was quoted as follows:
"Forty "per cent of the German
people are against Hitler and the
war.
"The German people are just be-
ginningito tire of it. And they have
the feeling that it does not matter
whether they win They feel they
have lost their freedom, anyway.
"Business men in Germany are
disgusted, because they can make no
move except under government reg-
ulation and orders.”
