Sims, Washington Correpon4ent DEFENSE AND CONGRESS - IMPLEMENTING A POLICY AN INDUSTRIAL STRUGGLE NO TROOPS TO EUROPE FLEET IN THE PACIFIC RIVAL GROUPS CLASH DANGER AHEAD FOR U. S. The chief interest of Congress, a nf th neonle of the United will be centered upon steps taken to implement the willingness of this country to become the "arsen al of the democracies." As a part of thu mud the rearmament program will be speeded but the great gain that will accrue-to the United States will be in the expansion of its capa u A nwuiiiPA t.h material necessary mnj.m warfare, whether for de- Vj uiuuu' fense or offense. n.. PiM.aiant'a messaee on the oo tw Tlnion. coupled with his 4. ;iiAa ihnt. evidenced the change that has taken place in public opinion in the United States since the war in Europe began, more than a year ago. With the collapse of France, there has been a widespread appreciation of the dependence of this country, in past years, upon the stabilizing force of the British Fleet. Most Americans are now convinced that, without the British fleet in the Atlantic, the future peace of the United States is in jeopardy until the projected two-ocean navy can be con structed and take its place upon the high seas. The leaders of the defense pro gram in Washington have repeatedly stressed the urgency of the inter national situation. There is every prospect that red-tape and ordinary methods will be thrown aside in or der that unlimited production can become the order of the day. The output of our industrial plants in the novt six months will probably deter mine whether this country will have to face the probability of a great War. All that we can produce, in time for assisting the British against the expected German drive, will serve the interests of this nation, even though it does no more than give us time in which to perfect our defense plans and increase productive capaci ties. m. TinifeH States is facing two threatening situations, although both stem from the same world condition. The defeat of Great Britain by Ger mans wnuld brine us face to face with Nazi methods in $he Atlantic, with jgrave repercussion ih South America, and the same disaster to the democracies would free the Japanese for widespread advances in the South Pacific which would seriously threat en the position of the United States in the Far East. The effect of such a joint threat would be to present this country with the most dire peril that it has seen since the early days of the Republic. The President, it is said, and we can understand his attitude, is ada mant against the use aiw has t Bast found a rival in the newly organized No Foreign Wars Committee, which is centering hs efforts. apparently, in working up sentiment against depleting our own; defense by deliveries to roe jornasn. Of course, no American that we know of desires to engage in a foreign war but the difference of opinion ex emplified by these committees in volves clashing ideas as to how far the interest of this country is iden tified with that Of Great Britain. The Aid-to-the-Alliee group be lieves that, once the Germans win in Europe, this nation will face a com bination of Japan, Italy and Germany and that it will become involved in a war that will dwarf previous com hta The other eroup evidently be lieves that, regardless of who wins in Europe, the United States is Dig onnnorh to take care of itself and its interests in this hemisphere, no mat ter how many nations gang up on us. WWW a Nazi victory will inevit ably produce a world-wide conflict, involving the United States, is a The President UlCH-Ll i - - I , plainly believes that our civilization guest ot her f1" ' . . . i j i n l 1 f cannot live in peace m a worm aonu nated by Hitlerism. We, if anybody is interested, find ourselves in com plete agreement with the Chief Executive. Dr. Graham Named Man Of The Year troops in Europe. He has repeatedly given the people of this country his assurance" that he has no idea of us ing our young men abroad and, for much the same reason, there is doubt as to any present willingness on his part to use the naval or aerial forces of the country to deliver supplies to the British .Isles. While almost any other plan would be acceptable, so far as we can judge the uuei exe cutive has not yet been convinced that actual participation in the strug gle, even to the extent of asserting our rights as a neutral on the high seas, is advisable. In his fireside talk to the people of the country, in the latter part of December, Mr. Roosevelt, without amplification, declared catergorically that our fleet "is In the Pacific." This has been generally taken as a plain warning to the Japanese that the United States will not hesitate to .. if nenexsarv to prevent the Tokvo branch of the plunder bund from taking advantage of the situa tion in Europe to seize the posses sions of the Dutch or the British. It is larirelv because the course of Japan is not yet clearly underway, we pre sume, that the President was not more specific in his reference to the Pacific, or Far Eastern question The nation is witnessing the in tense efforts of two "committees" of private citizens to align public opin ion. The well-known group seeking to Defend America by Aid to the For his leadership in furthering thp agricultural research, teaching of North Carolina State College, Dr. Frank Pnrter Graham, president of the Greater University of North Carolina, was selected by The Progressive Farmer magazine as the "Man of the Year" in service to North Carolina agriculture. It was the fourth sucn annual award made by the magazine, and Dr. Graham was the second person con nected with N. C. State College to be honored. Dr. I. 0. Schaub, dean oi the school of agriculture and director nf the Kvtpnsion Service, was named the "Man of the Year" in 1938. In announcing the selection for 1940, Dr. Clarence Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer, wrote: By be ing made head of the Consolidated University of North Carolina . . . . President Frank P. Graham had an opportunity either to greatly discour age and diminish or to greatly en courage and enlarge our own North Carolina agricultural college. Be cause he was big enough of brain and heart to choose the latter course . . we honor him as 1940 "Man of the Yeai" in service to North Carolina agrLi.'..uic."
