WHAT WILL JAPAN DOT
'" Federal, state and local officios
conferred in the capital last week
about measures to be taken in con
nection with law enforcement prob
lems associated with national de
fense. The President, in a letter,
suggested that Congress and the
state legislatures enact additional
laws to deal with "subversive activi
ties, seditious acts and those things
which might slow up or break down
our common defense program. He
emphasized that the task of law en-
ternational affairs, with military and
naval officials recognizing that our
safety from invasion will be jeopar
dized if anything happens to the
British fleet.
Our present navy, while efficient,
is not a match for possible combina
tions which may face us in the fu
ture. It will be from three to six
years before the expanded Nayy is
completed and during this period a
much larger army is necessary to
safeguard the nation from the pos
sibility of armed aggression in the
Western Hemisphere.
Some of the delay in placing con
tracts for materials and equipment
essential to national defense has
been caused by the unwillingness of
contractors to make expenditures foi
plant expansion without having as-
forcement against internal enemies. surance that these sums can be de

cies to handle and not for vigilantes
or "fussy and malicious busybodies.
Representatives from forty-two
States heard Attorney-General Jack
son and J. Edgar Hoover, Chief of
the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
emphasize the need of secrecy in
counter-espionage work so that sub
versive elements will not be tipped
off that they are under investiga
tion. This, they asserted, represent
ed far more effective preventive ac
tion than arrest and exposure of a
plotter whose place would be taken
by another person, unknown to
officials.

The argument of the contractors
is that if they spend money to ex-1
pand production, solely to produce j
materials lor national uerense, me
plant will be a loss when the orders
for national defense materials end.
Consequently, they want to be sure
that these expenditures can be charg
ed off during the operations con
nected with the defense contracts.
Now that the United States has
planned an embargo on the export of
American aviation outside the West

through her Ambassador, has made
formal representation against it, the

from the shutting off of a city's
water supply. He urged prQmpt ac
tion to bring local police depart
ments up to date in training and
equipment. He said the time is ra
pidly approaching, when, as a na

welfare of the great masses
Americans and a few interlopers
who hide behind the Bill of Rights
while they undermine the nation.
With more than 300,000 National
Guardsmen and Army Regulars
concentrated in five manouver areas,
the Army is in the midst of Its
greatest peace-time military exer
cises. The newly-organized Armor
ed Corps of the Army will not par
ticiuate and only a small air force
will take part in the manouvers.
The armored divisions are complet
ing their organization and training
and the air force is in the midst of
its expansion program. It was
thought best not to interrupt these
processes.
The troop concentration this year
has a peculiar significance demon
strating that the Government fully
understands the importance of field
training. For many years, the Army
has had no sizeable formation of
troops with which to experience the
practical side of handling large
bodies, of men. Various units of the
Army were stationed in certain
areas but, until last May when a
small field force of Regulars was
concentrated, the Army in the words
of General George C. Marshall, Chief
of Staff, "had no Army."

strength of the Regular

continuing at the rate of about
