Thursday, September 21, 1939 iffl^TON Washington, September 19 —"I wonder what they-all would be doin* if we really was in de war." That remark, dropped by a vet eran colored messenger in one of >the Government departments, ex presses tersely the condition of feverish activity which pervades every branch of Government. If we were actually at war the Fed eral offices could hardly be more busy. To every observer here who re members Washington's activities in 1917 and 18, when we were at war, conditions in the nation's capital seem strangely familiar. So far as public reactions have been analyzed by Washington ob servers, however, there is no more widespread indignation or war like desire on the part of the American people now than there was in 1916 when Mr. Wilson was re-elected President on the slo gan "He kept us out of war." Seeks Neutrality Amendment Nevertheless, the President has not abandoned his purpose of asking Congress to amend the Neutrality Act so as to give him wider authority to permit the sale of war supplies to nations which Breatk Betrays!

The impression observers here get from Senators and Repre sentatives who have been con sulted, is that there is a better chance of getting the whole 1937 Neutrality Act repealed than to amend it. Under an unprepared war sta tute of 1917, however, the Presi dent has authority to declare a state of national emergency, and he has acted on this to the extent of declaring that a "limited" emergency exists now. With that authority back of him, the Presi dent has ordered the increase of the armed forces of the nation— the army, the navy, the marine corps and the national guard— by the addition of 100,000 men. In addition, the Federal ma chinery for curbing foreign pro paganda and preventing sabotage has been strengthened. All peace officers, from rural sheriffs to city police forces, have been or dered to cooperate with the Criminal Investigation Bureau— the "G-men" —in a nation-wide spy-hunt. An entire brigade of additional troops and a large number of additional airplanes have been sent to Panama, and the Canal Zone has been placed under complete military control. The naval air base at Puerto Rico is already being used, though not completed, and the Government has placed orders for 3,000 additional fighting planes. One hundred and sixteen World War fighting crr.ft, destroyers laid up at the Philadelphia navy yard, have been ordered recondi tioned for service, and extra crews working in three shifts are rushing work on five big battle ships, the largest ever designed. Passports Restricted Under the emergency powers granted the President by the 1917 law, all passports of Ameri can citizens for foreign travel are being called in, and no more will be issued for travel to any Euro pean country without proof of the urgent necessity of the trip. Every ship under the American flag sailing from now on must carry the ship's name and home port painted on the side in ten foot letters, and besides a huge painted reproduction of the THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN.

American flag on each s'ae of the bow. All ships entering or leav ing any American port are being searched for possible contraband of war. There are more than a hundred telephone switchboards in Gov ernment offices, with more than 2b,000 inside telephone connec tions and about 3,000 trunk lines. Every switchboard is now on 24-hour service, with 25,000 or more calls a day between the of fices here and with other parts of the country. Telephone service to Europe has been curtailed, but is now being routed through Italy. Washington believes in Musso lini's neutrality, which is partly demonstrated by the resumption of service of Italian passenger ships to America. Lights burn all night in most of the Federal offices. The State Department is busiest of all, try ing to arrange for bringing stranded American back from Europe, and keeping tab on war developments. Officers of the general staff bark orders from the War Department to every part of the country as they did in 1917-18. The Navy Department is even busier. Profiteering Fought There is as yet no Food Ad ministration such as Herbert Hoover managed in the World War, but the Department of Ag riculture is trying its best to pre vent profiteering in food supplies and to organize the sale of American farm products abroad. In the Treasury an augmented staff of assistant secretaries is working with Mr. Morgenthau to try to keep the international and internal financial situation under control. The Commerce Depart ment is rushed with plans for di verting to this country the trade of South America which foi-mer ly went to Germany. In the White House the Cab inet meetings have been enlarged by the admission to them of the administrators of the new loan agency, and a general reorgan ization and enlargement of the President's personal staff. That is a brief and sketchy picture of Washington getting ready for war. Nobody wants it, nobody really expects it, but If war comes the' United States will be ready for it.
