Tbarwday, February 16, 1939 WASHINGTON Washington, Feb. 21 Ever since the beginnings of the Amer ican Government, Congress has been suspicious of every act of the Executive having to do with foreign affairs. George Washington's warning . against "entangling alliances" in his Farewell Address took root in the spirit of the people and has become, in the course of a cen a tury and a half, almost as sacred v an American principle as the Constitution itself. It was that principle which kept the American nation, when we entered the World War, from becoming in any official sense an i "ally" of the powers which werei fighting against Germany and i WANTS We bay scrap iron and meink Double Eagle Service Co., Elk in, N.

We were associates but not allies. President Wilson and the Con gress of that time took great pains to make it clear to all the world that America was fighting for its own hand and wa& not bound by any acts or agree ments of the Allied Powers. And it was the ingrained Amer ican fear of foreign alliances, as much as anything else, which prevented the United States from becoming a member of the League of Nations after the great war. With that historical back ground clearly in mind, it is easy to understand the furor which has been stirred up by the dis closure that President Roosevelt had authorized a secret French mission to inspect American air craft factories with a view to or dering a large number of fighting planes. Result of Accident The disclosure was the result of an accident. A new type of military plane was being tested in Los Angeles. It crashed and the pilot was killed. His companion, however, was rescued from the wreck with two broken legs, be fore the plane caught fire. Officials of the aircraft com pany said he was a mechanic named Smithin. It leaked out, however, that the injured man was Paul Chemidlin. a represent ative of the French War Office, over here with a group selecting planes for French purchase. The disclosure startled Con gress. An inquiry was begun which revealed that M. Chemid lin and the rest of the French mission had received specific au thority by order of the President himself to inspect American air plane factories and take part in tests of new military planes. Probably nobody had the slight est objection to the purchase of American aircraft by non-com batant European powers. It had been reported that not only the French buc the British were buy ing or about to buy planes in this country. Indeed, the British orders for 400 fighting planes were increas ed to 650 after the incident of the injured Frenchman was disclosed. And France had openly an nounced that it intended to buy at least 500 planes in America. Feared Special Favors What stirred up Congress, in cluding those friendly and un friendly to the President, was the feeling that some sort of inter national negotiations were going on. clouded in secrecy. It look ed as if special favors were being shown to France. Mr. Roosevelt sent for the members of the Senate Commit tee MI Military Affairs, seventeen Senators of both parties, and in FREE!

ELKIN, NOtCTH CAROLINA a closed-door session lasting nearly two hours he talked with a great deal of frankness about the international situation as he saw it. He pledged the commit tee to secrecy, but nobody in Washington has ever found a way to keep anything secret which seventeen politicians knew. The Senators talked. They did not all agree on the exact lang uage the President had used, but they were in substantial agree ment that he had insisted that there was no alliance, secret or otherwise, between the United States and Prance; that he had welcomed the French desire to buy enough American planes to keep our aircraft factories busy until the United States is ready to order the anticipated several thousand war planes; that no credit had been extended or guaranteed by our government but the planes bought by both Prance and England were being paid for as delivered, "cash on the barrelhead." If any other na tion wanted to buy planes on the same terms they could do so. But the President, according to some of the Senators, stressed his belief that American interests were being threatened by the rise of the dictatorships, and that if the democracies of Western Eu rope should be forced to succumb to superior force America would be in grave danger. Interpreted By Senators According to some of the Sen ators who heard him, he gave the impression that he believed the United States would have to join in the defense of England and France, in a crisis. One phrase which some of the Senators at tributed to him was that "Our first line of defense is in France." The President took notice of the turmoil which his actions had caused by declaring, at the most largely attended press conference since the early days of his first Administration, that some Sena tors had deliberately distorted the tenor of his talk to them, and de nouncing as a deliberate lie the statement that he had said that the American frontier was here after in France. Pressed for a clear statement of his Adminis tration's foreign policy, he dic tated the following: 1. We are against any en tangling alliances, obviously. 2. We are in favor of the main tenance of world trade for every body—all nations—including our selves. 3. We are in complete sym pathy with any and every effort made to reduce and limit arma ments. 4. As a nation as American people—we are sympathetic with the peaceful maintenance of pol itical, economic and social Inde pendence of all nations in the world.

In Colonial days, there were not many glassware patterns. The process of making was then too costly. So pure genius inspired a design fitting for all times and all occasions. Recently, Fostoria recreated this traditional pattern; made "American" pieces by a less ex pensive, more modern process, but retained its sparkling beauty for luxurious banquets or the most informal luncheons. Fostoria's "American" is pri marily designed for homes of colonial simplicity. Neverthe less, it hobnobs on intimate terms with even the ultra modern. It is crystalware un affected by passing fashiaas, in harmony with any setting. Our "American" panorama is here on display. Its sparkle will delight you. Its variety will I please you. The very low price* | will surprise you. W. M. WALL Jeweler Phone 56 Elkin. N. C.

Without question, it is the most forward step taken by any manu facturer since the introduction of electric refrigerators years ago. "I have been in the electrical appliance business for many years, but there has never been anything presented to the public before which is so outstanding as the new model which will be pre sented to the public here within a few days. Frigidaire has also made other definite improvements in its other products, too.
