iflliTON Washington, March 14 The president and his counsellors are still looking across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Hie Sena tors and Representatives in Con gress are sharply divided as to whether external or internal af fairs call for the chief attention oi the United States. There is almost a hundred per cent, agreement that the nation should puts its military, naval and air defenses into first-rate condition, proof of which is found in the almost unanimous vote to appropriate 500 million dollars for the War Department, the largest peace-time fund ever granted for that purpose. The President has asked for another 138 millions for supplementary Army purposes, and probably will get it. Where Congress and the Exec utive disagree is on the question of the nation's foreign policy. There is a feeling that Mr. Roose velt is "stirring up the animals" by his frequent utterances aimed at the dictatorships of Europe. He did that again in his speech before Congress in celebration of the 150 th aimiversary of that body when he took a crack at the dictators by asking whether the United States 'should sit passive while religious freedom was sup pressed in. other nations. May Reveal Secrets No sane person believes for a moment that Mr. Roosevelt wants to lead the United States into a foreign war, but the belief that his frequent denunciations of the governments of the very nations from which the country has most to fear are at least provocative, is freely expressed and deplored by even his most devoted adherents. The demand on Capitol Hill for a full revelation of the interna tional situation as it affects the interests of the United States is increasing. It is not minimized by such statements as that made on the floor by Senator Lundeen of Minesota that Mr. Roosevelt, in his confidential talk with members of the Committee on Military Affairs, disclosed "stun- Elkin's Y7 ¥ \fT Superior Newest Mid MUi JIV.

The feeling that the public should be taken into complete confidence on anything which so vitally affects everybody is strong, and the possibility grows that a stenographic report of the Presi dent's talk with the Senators may be made public. Meantime the movement for a Constitutional amendment pro hibiting Congress from declaring war without a popular referen dum, except in case of actual in vasion, has 'been revived. Recent disclosures of the ac tivities of Japanese spie* pn the Pacific Coast are* stirring up in ternational distrust. The dis closure by a high Aimy official that German aviators were using in the attack on Barcelona a new kind of air-bomb charged with liquid oxygen, capable of killing everybody within a quarter of a mile from where it strikes, has furnished fresh impetus to the I program of a bigger and stronger air force. The removal of the general] headquarters of the Army Air Corps from Langley Field, Va., to Scott Field in Illinois, as soon as the new buildings can be finished, is part of the general program of shifting the more vulnerable points of national defense away from the seaboard and into the interior, where they will be safer from air raids from overseas. Building Huge Reserves Part of the program is the building up of huge reserves of war materials in the Mississippi Valley, and of enrolling some ten thousand industrial establish ments. mostly in the same region, to be prepared to turn out imple ments of war on short notice. Also, as part of the great new de fense program, interest in the' Florida Ship Canal has been re- | vived, on the principle that it will i provide a safe, sheltered water I route from the Mississippi Valley j to the Atlantic Coast in time of i war. The War Department has re ported to Congress that the Flor ida Canal would be of vital im portance to commerce in peace-1 time as well as in war, and the United States Geological Survey has revised its finding as to the effect of the canal on the water supply of South Florida, now stating that it would affect only shallow surface wells within a few miles of the route of the canal. Altogether, the atmosphere of Washington is more warlike than it has been at any time since THE KLKIN TRIBUNE, ELKJN, NORTH CAROLINA (1918, with all sorts of wild spec julation heard everywhere about lour foreign relations. The United States Ambassador to Spain, Claude Bowers, who has been staying in France close to the border, has been sent for to make a report to the State De partment and the President, pre sumably bearing on the question whether this country should give official recognition to the new Franco government of Spain, as England and France deem about to do. Independence Questionable The question which worries Washington is whether the new Spanish government will really be independent, or merely a pup pet with Hitler and Mussolini pulling the strings, and providing in Spain a jumping-off place nearer to the united States than any other part of Europe, where great air bases might be estab lished. In internal affairs, by all odds the most Important event of the year so far is the decision of the Supreme Court that the sit-down strike is illegal and that employ ers are free to discharge workers who take part in such seizure of company property or other illegal uses of force. That decision is believed to point toward an early revision of the Labor Relations Act, in which the rights of em ployers and the limitations of the authority of the Labor Relations Board will be more clearly defin ed. The chance of such legislation is increased by the efforts being made by both Administration and Congressional leaders to repeal or modify existing laws which have tended to hamper business ex pansion.
