War Scares Said To
Worry Washington
Washington, Nov. 1,?0 ff i e i al
Washington is njJiicted with a bad
cast; of the Scares.
'there is a voiy uefiniio War Scare
which ha3 grown Stronger 8. lace tho
reee t European develppments. 1 here
is a K/ed Scare wlneii is being taken
more seriously than ever before. And
there is a Spy Scare whueh seems to
J.ave more immediate taugrujie buou
iu xLaM LUUU IXhy'LL the Ov..>,;S.
Much concern is felt in .the State
Department over the close relation^
between Mexico and Germany. Mexico
has eontlscated American-owned
oil wells and is sell ng their product
.to Germany at bargain prices. Those
with long memories recall Germany's '
proposal to Mexico during the World I
War,, when the projtct\of regaining
the territory lost .to the Utried |
States in the Mexican War .was held
out as a bait to induce Mexico to
join Germany in the war against
England and Eraace.
It was the disclosure of that German
scheme, as much as anyth ng
else that forced the United 3uite3
iur.o that war.
The State Department feels rather
happy than otherwise abouf the diplomatic
rupture between Germany ;
and Brazil. The belief that the new
Government of Brazil was secretly
allied w.th the Nazi movement has
iirmallarl hv rpnPTlt eVfints.Much
l/Cdl kij -
concern is felt,now er,by the extent i
of Ger man and Italian .propaganda
being broadcast to (the peoplds of,
South American countr.es, much of
it distinctly hostile to the United
. States.
A good deal of that radio-borne
propoganda is printed in South Amrcirican
newspapers as news. This has
jed to revival o?: the project of a
federal propaganda bureau, w/th radio
stations powerful enougn to
reach the eritire southern hem.sphere?
to offset the cffecfth of broideaols I
from Europe.
All of the war jitters are heighten
ed by the recent disclosures than for
iegn nations, especially Germany,
have beon pay ug spies to obi am
secret information about our ar.uy,
navy, air forces i nd coast defenses.
How much has been obtained that
would be qf real value to a foreig
enemy is questionable.
The important tatng, :?s Washington
sees it, Jo that cvdvi-ce tn s been
produced to prove that other nations
regard the United States as a possible
future enemy and are (trying by
the usual methods to find our weakest
spot*.

isor nations whose activities have
been at least suspicions.
Not all of the facts upon which
the Spy Scare is based have beo:
made public, but enough has been di - ?
closed to furnish backing for the
President's recent statements that a
Special secret service organization
should be set up, whose business it
would be to ferret out espionage by
foreign nations in this country.
None of the Government's po'ic-e organizations
is now equipped or uuth
?
orized to perform that service effectively.
Such an organization of secret operatives
would, doubtless, turn its
attention to the Communists. The
Red Scare is held here to be some*hing
more than a bogeyman.
The disclosures of Communist ae
tvwties bi labor organizations and to
some extent in political bodies,which
have been brought out at the hearing
of the Dies Committee to investigate
un-American activities, have been of
a nature to make many persons take
seriously what they formerly thought
to be a bugaboo.
It is the official Washington belief
that Soviet Russia, far from abandoning
its early avowed purpose of
turning the whole world Commun'st,
is working to that en J, more diligei!
iy than ever. The i ovonvut is liffi
cult to combu open!v, beeau'.-e if is
carried on in secret by persons who
do not avow themselves as Communists
and who deny any purpose oi
overthrowing the American Government.
S-'noo the principles of the Communist
party are asserted to be based
upon the overthrow of all existing
? governments, .the question - whether

(By Frank Parkier StockbrtySgd}
SOUTH . . - oppof^ty
When, the President, not long ago*.,
[referred to the South as presenting
, America'a '^Number One Economic
Problem,'' many of my Southern
newi^paper friends and others were
inclined to rAsexrt what seemed to bo ; a*!
a slur upon the pleasant land of X)ix-?
ie and the splendid prqjflrj.
Others agreed that there was much
in the report of the National Emergency
Council to put the South 011
its mottle to do something to remedy ?
its economic conditions.
Though a Yankee born and bred, I
have, l*ived in many parts of the
South and have traveled frequently
in all parts of it. I understand and
sympathize with the Southern point
of view.
The South is handicapped by hav
ing to sell its main cropfe, cottod ahd
tobacco, in an unprotected market,
and by railroad rates so much higher
than those in the North that it ' ha*
to pay "through the nose" . for the
manufactured goods it buys from
protected Northern industries.1 1
But after watching for several
years and is studying at first ha rl
some of the new things that ihe
South is doing, I am strongly of the
opinion that ihstead of being the
Nation's No. 1 economic problem ttte
South ia better entitled to the appvl
latiou of America 's Number
TT.nnnnmip Ormortunitv.
(Nowhere else that I know of i >
there such a volume an/1 variety mi*
accessible raw.materials for modem
industry. All that is needed to i
the South its rightful place in tlh*
sun on an economic level with ih *
ro'V of th ? nation is to eliminate th ?

That is goqfd - news. Mr. Mason
went, on to point out that the chem*

of employment, pay-rolb and cam- , , '
