Huge I/. S. Armament Program
Offered as Peace Safeguard
By Joseph W. La lline
Defense
Though the Munich agreement
was aimed to preserve Europe's
peace, its immediate result has been
feverish rearmament. Great Brit-
ain has made plans (or conscription
and new airplane factories; France
has appropriated 1,320,000,000 francs
for military spending and 88?,000,000
more for her navy; Germany is
rushing fortification of her Belgian
frontier; Italy speeds barriers in the
Alps.
Few Americans have hoped that
the U. S. can avoid similar prepara-
tions. Loudest persuasion of all has
come from Britain's Winston
Churchill, whose short wave broad-
cast urged the U. S. to take a com-
manding lead against dictators, to
join Britain in stopping "isms" be-
fore it is too late. Added impetus
has come from current U. S. espion-
age investigations (see DOMESTIC).
< >. > J••
BERNARD BARUCH
He wanted billions for defense.
Growing louder, this voice Anally
reached White House ears, coinci-
dentally bringing comment from
Capitalist Bernard Baruch who
chairmaned the war industries
board in 1917.
Emerging from a White House
conference, Mr. Baruch started ob-
servers thinking by warning that U.
S. defenses were inadequate. Though
most Americans regard "defense"
as successful repulsion of a North
American invasion, a broader con-
ception calls for protection of the
entire Western hemisphere. Mr.
Baruch's defense program includes:
(1) immediate construction of a
"two ocean navy"; (2) increased
air power; (3) better equipment for
400,000 regular soldiers and the na-
tional guard; (4) subsidies to pro-
tect U. S. trade interests in South
America; (5) industrial and milita-
ry mobilization law; (6) a special
tax to pay for these expenses.
Though it lacks official confirma-
tion,President Roosevelt plainly fa-
vors the Baruch program. The sug-
gested tax boost comes dangerously
near election time, but administra-
tion leaders minimize this political
hazard because: (1) most Ameri-
cans regard democracy's security
as more important than financial
security or political partisanship;
(2) a speeded-up military and naval
program, financed by special tax,
would decrease relief rolls and pos-
sibly create what Germany has
been facing, an actual shortage of
labor. Thus WPA and PWA costs
could be slashed and the budget
balanced.
War
Japan's invasion of South China
has three purposes: (1) to force
withdrawal of Cantonese troops
from the Hankow battle front; (2)
to capture Canton or force that
province into an independent peace;
(3) to cut the Hankow-Canton rail-
road over which war supplies have
traveled to sorely troubled Chinese
troops. But since China has already
established four other communica-
tion lines between the outer world
and her army, the South China in-
vasion becomes less important to
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
Far more important is the fact
that Japan has labeled herself the
No. 1 Far East power, invading
Great Britain's South China inter-
ests and defying the British lion to
do anything about. Canton lies a
scant 75 miles from the crown col-
ony of Hongkong, whose rail con-
nection with Canton has already
been broken. Since Hongkong's
prosperity depends largely on trade
with Canton, the British have rea-
son to worry.
i Closer home, U. S. officials are
also worried because most Ameri-
can-Chinese trade is now routed
through Hongkong. Though U. S.
trade with Hongkong has jumped
from $6,500,000 to $15,000,000 this
year, largely because of the Canton
gateway, total exports to China have
dropped from $42,000,000 to $26,000,-
000. The American Philippines are
'also suffering, since Philippine-Can-
ton trade has been heavy. More-
over, the U. S. will be unable to
re-point much of its Chinese trade
through the new gateways, two of
them through Indo-China, one
through Burma and a fourth through
Russia.
Her ambitions and confidence fat-
tened by Great Britain's capitula-
tion at Munich, Japan marches for-
ward to what she hopes will be dom-
ination of the Pacific.
•, Two fighting tigers will join forces
to kill a common enemy. In much
the same fashion, Loyalist and In-
surgent Spain have protested the
whispered proposal that Great Brit-
ain, France. Italy and Germany join
in stopping her civil war, To Loy-
alist Premier Juan Negrin this is a
particularly righteous attitude, for
settlement of the war would almost
certainly give his government the
beggar's lot. Friendly with domi-
nant Italy and Germany, Rebel Gen-
eralissimo Francisco Franco would
get the lion's share of Spain. Never-
theless, despite their belligerent at-
titudes, both sides have co-operated
in ridding the war of foreign na-
tionals. Ever since the Munich
agreement, Italian troops have been
slowly withdrawn, while all Loyalist
foreigners are already gone. Thus
isolated and warring without the ac-
tive blessing of any outside power,
Spain's civil war will probably blow
up in a few months, ended by a sud-
den decision that the long struggle
has been quite futile after all.
Domestic
Inescapably connected with the
government's new emphasis on mil-
itary defense against Nazi-Fascist
world powers is President Roose-
velt's interest in espionage. For 20
years the U. S. has disregarded
spies, though the increasing fre-
quency of arrests has made Amer-
icans fearful of Germany, Italy, Ja-
pan and Russia. Heightening the
tension have been: (1) the Munich
agreement which placed democra-
cies on the defensive; (2) arrest in
mid-October of four Germans tak-
ing photographs in the Canal Zone;
(3) trial in New York of four al-
leged Nazi agents, with coincident
efforts to prove indictments against
14 others who escaped the spy net
and fled to Germany.
Greatest interest in the espionage
trial lies in red-haired, 26-year-old
Johanna Hoffman, who reportedly
transported spy messages from New
York to Germany while serving as
hairdresser on the liner Europa.
Second interest lies in Guenther
Gustav Rumrich, former U. S. army
sergeant who deserted and made a
blundering attempt to secure 35
passport blanks last June. Legiti-
macy of U. S. fears was verified
when Rumrich pleaded guilty and
turned state's witness.
Though New York's spy trial ap-
pears commonplace, its significance
is tremendous. Not only does it
mark an emboldened U. S. defense
attitude, but legal experts also ex-
plain it is the first time America
has named a supposedly friendly
power (Germany) in direct charges.
Since indictments are filed against
heads of the German secret service
and naval intelligence, the trial Is a
potential international dynamite
keg.
It may be predicted that next win-
ter's congress will co-ordinate and
tighten the government's outmoded

International
The U. S. has long maintained
splendid trade relations with West-
ern hemisphere nations, has more-
over done this without resorting to
heavy armaments. Until five years
ago the U. S. was similarly strong
in China. Reason: European and
Asiatic nations have always been
busy at home, not daring to risk in-
vasion of the Western hemisphere.
But since Japan became supreme
in the Far East, the U. S. has been
forced to expand her Pacific fleet.
If this was cause for worry, a much
greater cause is the Munich pact
which sheared friendly France and
Britain of their power. Dominant in
Europe, anxious to increase their
foreign trade, Italy and Germany
can now be regarded as a serious
threat to U. S. commerce. Of the
JOHANNA HOFFMAN
H us hairdre.ssing a sideline?
anti-spy regulations, including the
espionage act of 1917 which applies
only to individuals and carries no
teeth against spy-inspiring organiza-
tions. Although the U. S. has never
indulged in peacetime spy activities,
there is speculation whether con-
gress may adopt this activity which
has been an important European
governmental function for 300 years.
^notes'
MAHATMA GANDHI, Indian
home rule leader, on Czecho-
slovakia: "It is clear that
small nations must come, or
be ready to come, under the
protection of dictators or be a
constant menace to European
peace."
DR. STANLEY HIGH, publicist,
on a Roosevelt third term:
"Nobody ever in the White
House, with the exception per-
haps of Theodore Roosevelt,
enjoyed it so much."
MARY PICKFORD, onetime ac-
tress, on new upswept hair-
dress: "One must marry a
hairdresser to keep the new
high coiffure in perfect order."
BRAZIL'S PRESIDENT VARGAS
His door is closed to Germany.
two, Germany will be a greater
j threat because she has adopted an
aggressive foreign expansion pro-
gram, moreover because her new
Sudeten territorial acquisitions
bring glassware, leather and tex-
tiles into the Reich for export sale.
Focal point of German expansion
will be Latin America, which last
year gave the Reich 14 per cent of
its trade, compared with 34.7 per
cent to the U. S. In this trade war,
it has become apparent the U. S.
will attempt to sell South Ameri-
cans on democracy, while Germany
sells them Naziism. Today, as the
war gets under way, the U. S. ap-
pears to hold an upper hand.
Long favored in South America
through her Monroe doctrine, the
U. S. has just helped preserve West-
ern hemisphere peace by joining in
settlement of the 100-year-old Chaco
dispute between Paraguay and Bo-
livia. Indirectly, the U. S. could
place another feather in her cap
when Brazil called home its ambas-
sador to Berlin, apparently break-
ing off diplomatic relations with the
Reich. This is President Getulio
Vargas' answer to Chancellor Hit-
ler's efforts for Brazilian Nazifica-
tion.
Aiding the U. S. will be Increased
domestic desire to woo South Amer-
ica. Already a campaign is under
way to boost our consumption of
South American goods.
A natural result of this activity
has been growing American disin-
clination to complete the long-pend-
ing U. S.-British trade pact, a senti-
ment resulting from the rebirth of
isolationism which followed Mu-
nich's peace treaty. The greatest
stumbling block is that isolationism
calls for strengthened trade rela-
tions with Canada, a plan blocked
by Great Britain's renewed efforts
to tighten her dominion bonds. A
U. S.-Canadian trade treaty is bound
to hurt American agriculture; a
U. S.-British treaty will hurt Amer-
ican manufacture. Therefore econ-
omists are bettlr.g the "most fa-
vored nation" agreements now
pending with Canada and Britain
will never be consummated.
Meanwhile, Germany is cocksure
of her position. Busily flitting from
one European capital to another,
Economics Minister Walter Funk
has completed bilateral accords
based on barter of goods with sev-
eral Balkan states. In this way the
Reich hopes to increase its econom-
ic orbit. But when Minister Funk
optimistically announced he would
next attempt a barter treaty with
the U. S., state department officials
made it clear that optimism is un-
founded.
Races
Though Arabs hoped Great Brit-
ain would give them Palestine for
helping defeat Turkey in the World
war, Lord Balfour's declaration end-
ed in establishment of a national
home for Jews in the Holy Land.
Bitter Arab-Jewish strife has result-
ed since 1923, while world Jewry
has invested $385,000,000 and sent
home 400,000 Hebrews to the "prom-
ised land." Today, encouraged by
Franco-British weakness in the face
of Jew-hating Germany and Italy,
Arabs are rising again. Determined
to settle the problem, Britain's
Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain
is reportedly considering restriction
of Jewish migration to the Holy
Land, or even complete return of
Palestine to the Arabs. If Britain
does either, she will arouse world
protest, which is already rising
among influential U. S. and British
Jews. Before Britain can vacate
the Balfour declaration, she should
get U. S. assent, which is not apt
to be forthcoming. To go ahead
without that nod of approval would
mean a serious strain of U. S.-Brit-
ish friendship, something which
England needs badly right now.
WHO'S
NEWS
THIS
WEEK
By LEMUEL F. PARTON
"VJEW YORK. — Barring world
champion prizefighters, Thomas
E. Dewey probably has received
more publicity than any other
r» » American of his
Dewey Lulled years. He is only
Bossy With 36, but almost ev-
'II Traviata' erythinS about
him is old news.
However, as the New York Repub-
licans nominated him for gover-
nor. the wholp country seems hun-
gry for information about the cock
of his eyebrow, his gold fillings, if
any, the set of his suspenders and
whether he runs down the heels of
his shoes. Friends from the West
and Far West have told me, and
some have written, that there is
more talk about Thomas E. Dewey
for President than about all the
other possibilities put together.
These informants say the talk is
not partisan — that New York's
young racket-buster is becoming the
national symbol of a "happy issue
out of all our afflictions."
This reporter hereby hands
him the agrarian vote: on the
banks of the Shiawasse, near
Owosso, in the state of Michi-
gan, he was a demon cow milk-
er. People would come for miles
to see and hear him milk a cow.
Musically gifted, he could make
the powerful milk stream ring a
tune in the pail as he sang "La
Bohcme," or "II Traviata." Ills
father ran a country newspaper.
As to the industrial East, he is a
cagey bridge player who never takes
his partner out of a business double.
He is a squash player in winter,
and a tennis player in summer. He
sings baritone, a safe vocal as well
as political range, and was trained
as an opera singer, first in New
York on a musical scholarship.
There's nothing showy about him
and he never makes a play to the
press coop.
He appears to be, to this ob-
server, the answer to Stuart
Chase's plea for a new kind of
politician. In a magazine arti-
cle printed about a year ago,
Mr. Chase tore all political dog-
mas to tatters and said we
would get nowhere until we be-
gan to isolate and attack given
problems and settle them ac-
cording to their immediate re-
quirements, without regard to
their political or philosophical
context. Big town racketeering
is one of those "given problems"
and then some. It is interesting
to note that, in his acceptance
speech, Mr. Dewey renounced
"political dogma."
On most of the specific political
issues of the day, Mr. Dewey's opin-
ion has not been revealed. He has
been slated as "liberal" and "pro-
gressive," but, in the days of "Tip-
pecanoe and Tyler, too," the coun-
try esteemed fighting men and ap-
parently still does.

America's most spectacular and

What Makes
College Grid
Games Tick
By IIERB ROGERS
COLLEGE football U Big Busi-
ness.
The average football spectator,
taking his scat high In a stadium
tense with the electric atmosphere
of 50,000 other carefree fans, doesn't
associate the scene with business,
nor is he apt to think of the hours
of toil that made possible the show
he is about to witness.
He takes for granted, if he con-
siders at all, the months of labor
the players put in during the sum-
mer—working in steel mills, carry-
ing ice, swinging pick and shovel-
to make themselves "tough" . . .
the coaches who devoted hours to
mm
Weary hours of limbering up.
working out plays and defensive
formations and the players who
burned midnight oil studying them
as laboriously as problems in math
and economics.
Nor docs he think of the scouting,
the recruiting of players, the ar-
rangements for broadcasts and
sports publicity. The collcgc band,
in snappy new uniforms, has put in
hours of practice and the cheer
leaders have rehearsed their stunts
again and again.
The organizing genius at the top
of this big show is the graduate
manager of athletics. In almost ev-
ery sizable college it is his job to
direct athletic activities for the en-
tire student body, to engage
coaches, to arrange games and to
let contracts for construction and
improvement of stadiums and other
sports properties.
The graduate manager Is a busi-
ness man of the first rank, for when
a single game draws as many as
102,000 people, paying as much as
$300,000, you're not talking in terms
of amateur money-making.
Making Hay
In a single year, which on the
gridiron calendar is only nine weeks,
college football takes in at least
$40,000,000—and that's in a bad
year! In 1937 it took in over $75,-
000,000. Judging from current en-
thusiasm, new attendance rccords
should be set in 1938.
How can a sport with a "take"
of these proportions maintain its
strictly amateur rating? That's a
question asked in accusing tones ev-
ery so often by the Carnegie founda-
tion.
No one denies that many valuable
players are given political sine-
cures, paid in tuition and scholar-
ships or given easy Jobs at high pay.
That has become an acccpted part
of college football today.
Those who have taken the trouble
to justify football's big business
background point out that the pub-
lic made it that way; that further
growth cannot and should not be
avoided. The universities frankly
welcome the money—and must have
it to pay for the costly stadiums
that have been erected for the con-
venience of spectators, and the high-
priced athletic staffs and equipment
that are necessary for the welfare
of the athletes themselves and the
advancement of the game.
The Players' Angle
As for the players themselves—
the dynamos of this big business—
what do they take from it? Per-
haps the best answer to that was
given the other day by Fielding
Yost, Michigan coach who has been
in football long enough to know all
the answers. A sports writer asked
him if his young follows actual-
ly got fun from playing the game.
"They don't get fun out of the
game in the sense that most of us
consider fun," Yost replied. "They
get something more than that. They
gain experiences that will give them
deep satisfaction the rest of their
lives. Those young fellows down
there right now don't realize it, but
they'll remember tomorrow's game
as long as they live. They'll recall
in middle age and in their advanced
years the fellows who fought with
them in an effort to start Michi-
gan's season right. Nobody ever
will be able to take away those
memories."
A Few Records
Highlights of one of the most
successful baseball seasons in
years:
The epidemic of sore arms that
removed star pitchers from the ac-
tive list. Carl Hubbell, great south-
paw veteran of the New York
Giants, had to undergo an opera-
tion and may never pitch again.
Lefty Grove, considered the No. 1
left hander of his generation, had
his arm go dead in midseason.
Schoolboy Rowe, Paul Dean, Van
Lingle Mungo, Johnny Allen were
others who were sidelined or re-
turned to the minor leagues.
Vince DiMaggio, Boston Bees'
outfielder, set a major league rec-
ord for striking out, 129 times.
Bob Feller, Cleveland pitcher,
broke the major league record for
strikeouts in one game, 18.
Hank Greenberg, Detroit first-
baseman, tied Jimmy Foxx's home
run record for right hand batsmen,
58, and broke record for hitting two
homers in most games, 12.
More than 10,000,000 fans attended
the games—exclusive of the world
series—to break, by some 600,000,
the attendance mark set in 1937.
Old-Timer
Living at Ortonville, Mich., Is the
man who possesses documentary
evidence to prove he is the discov-
erer of the curve ball and that he
was the first pitcher to employ that
form of strategy against the hit-
ters.
He is Fred Goldsmith, now 87
years old and one of the oldest liv-
ing ball players. Goldsmith start-
ed his pitching career in New Ha-
ven way back in 1872, and later
pitched for Cap Anson's famous
Chicago Colts.
The old-timer carries with him a
framed newspaper clipping dated
FRED GOLDSMITH
August 17, 1870. It is a story writ-
ten by Henry Chadwick and de-
scribes how Goldsmith demonstrat-
ed to observers who had gathered
at the Capitoline grounds in Brook-
lyn that a baseball could be thrown
in such a fashion as to make an arc
as it went through space.
Pocket Billiards
By CHARLES C. PETERSON
President. National Billiard Associa-
tion of America and World's Trick
Shot Champion.
Lesson No. 1.
Points to Remember
1. Face your shot squarely and
turn half to the right. 2. Hold your
cue at the balance and not at the
butt end. 3. Make a firm (solid)
bridge; do not allow excess spaco
between the forefinger and thumb.
4. Cue your ball in center. 5. Fol-
low through at least one or two
inches beyond the cue ball. Don't
pull or chcck. 6. It Is imperative
that you leave the cue on the line
of aim until the stroke is fully de-
livered. 7. Practice first with cue
ball no more than six inches away
from the object ball—and as you
improve, move the cue ball and ob-
ject ball farther away from the
pocket.
In practicing pocket shots, a
mark should be made on the cloth
one-half a ball distant from the ob-
ject ball on the side opposite the
pocket and in a direct line with the
center ball and the pocket. That is
the spot represented by the dotted
circle on the diagram above. The
cue should then be pointed so that a
line passing through its center
would pass through this point. If
the cue ball can now be struck with-
out moving the cue out of its posi-
tion, the making of the ball is a
certainty.
