Tho American people know
thoroughly the government’s at
titude toward domestic policies
and problems. There have been
few areas in which the doings of
government and the politicians
who run the machine have been
of so much concern to the average
man and woman. But it is pro
bably that a relatively small pro
portion of the people have any
adequate realization of the immen
sely important change that has
taken place in American foreign
policy during the last few years
of European and Asiatic turmoil.
[ Two recent events have served
to further clarify this change.
Secretary of State Hull made a
burning talk which, while naming
no names, wa svery obviously ad
dressed to the dictators of the
world. Stressing again his passio
nately held doctrines involving in
ternational morality and order, he
put this country at the forefront
of those powers which will work
for peace but which at the same
time are prepared for war, and
are ready and able to defend their
rights at all times. Two days la
ter the President went to Canada
to dedicate a new international
bridge—and made a talk in which
ha assured the Dominion that this
country will come to her aid if
sho is ever attacked.
As life expresses it, “Bigger
news than either of the speeches
tho calm, acceptance of them at
home served to show how far a
determined President and hia Se
cretary of state, in three years,
have swung Americans away from
i peace at any price isolationism
and toward an acceptance of ac
tivo responsible, war risky parti,
cipation in world affairs.” Ten
years ago it would have been in
credible had the highest govern
ment officials made speeches of
theso kinds. Today they are aP
parently accepted with approval
by the majority of Americans.
It is of the utmost significance
that practically every policy of the
New Deal has been rrundly crit
icized in many quarters—with,
generally speaking, the exception
of its foreign policy. Because of
his sage counsel. Secretary Hull
has steadily gained in stature
since he entered the Cabinet after
r, distinguished career in Congress
The United States, under the Hull
policy, will pull no nation’s chest
nuts from the fire. But it will
uso all the moral suasion at its
command to repel aggressors. It
distrusts and dislikes all tho dic
tators. And it has unsurpassed
forces to meet the issue if and
when it i3 forced.
This does not mean that there
is no criticism at all of our pres-t
ent foreign policy. One school
favors complete isolation, and
would have this country keep com
pletely out of foreign affairs and
let the belligerent powers and
their victims shift for themselves.
Another school, somewhat left
wing in its philosophy, would have
the U. S. take a much more belli,
gerent line than it is taking, even
to the use of threats. But both
these schools are very much in
tho minority, and there seems
small chanee that either will get
their programs over.
Whether American opinion has
created American foreign policy
or American foreign policy has
created American opinion is a
moot question. But various sur
veys indicate that the policy is re
markably in consonance with the
views of the people at large. These
surveys for instance, show that
Americans are overwhelmingly op
posed to Japan and in sympathy
with China. They show a mount
ing disgust for England’s peace at
any price policy. They show ac
tive hatred of the Nazis and Fas
cists. And they show that the
bulk of the people are against
Franco, and want the Spanish
government to win.
It is obvious that our foreign
policy has been a strong psychol
ogical check on the ambitions of
aggressor nations. They can’t
afford to lose even our formal
friendship—and much less take a
chance on arms and supply em
bargos. As a nation, we are rich,
powerful am* .-emote from all oth
ec great powers- Wc are practic
ally immune from attack— and in
tho event of war, we would have
the balance of power, as we did in
the last. That helps a great deal
to keep the tenuous peace of Eur,
j ope.
The business indexes still tend
upward. As the Annalist puts
it, “So far as can be seen the re
covery movement is continuing in
a generally satisfactory manner.”
It is true that in many lines
thero has been little or no actual
betterment as yet. But even
there, scntiment has undergone
substantial change, and leaders
aro looking to the immediate fu
ture with a great deal more equ
animity than they did a few
months back when all that could
bo seen on the economic horizon
was storm clouds.

ECONOMICS EXPERTS COM
PARES NEW ENGLAND
AND THE SOUTH
Boston, Sept. 8 (ANP)—Malcolm
Keir, professor of economics at
Dartmouth college recently sub
mitted to the Interstate Commerce
Commission the first known com
prehensive study and comparison
of economic conditions in New
England and the Southeast. His
report was presented in connect,
ion with the petition of the South
eastern States for a reduction in
tho freight differentials between
the North and the South. Discus
sing tho labor situation, Dr. Keir
said:
“New England’s advantage in
cheap capital is offset by the
Southeast's cheaper and more do
cile labor. The Southeast’s ad
vantages in low wages and long
hours of work are due to the fact
that she has two labor forces,
one white, the other black, either
one of which in number exceeds
the number of wage-paying jobs.
With either one along the surplus
would force wages down, but when
both compete for the same jobs
the wages are brought close to the
subsistence level. With this advan
tage in labor costs, southern en
terprise has expanded enormously
since 1880, and despite a handicap
in freight rates southern commo
dites have invaded neutral mar
kets and New England’s own do
mestic market.”

PRESIDENT BARCLAY TELLS
OF LIBERIA’S GREATNESS
DELIVERS SPIRING ADDRESS
AS REPUBLICAN MARKS
91st ANNIVERSARY
Monrovia Liberia Sept. 8 (ANP) j
highlight of the recent nation, j
wide celebration marking the 91st j
anniversary of the founding of the j
Republic of Liberia as an inde
pendent sovereign state was the
reception tendered the Diplomatic
Corps by President and Mrs. Bar
clay at the Executive Mansion.
As Doyen (Dean) of the Dip
lomatic Rops Hon. Lester A. Wal
ton, U. S. Minister to Liberia ex
tended congratulations to Presi
dent Barclay on “Liberia’s Na
tional Fete Day." Responding
President Barclay said:
“On this Continent in the past,
have existed states tha trivaled
in royal splendor and in imperial
power contemporary of Medieval
Europe. There have been in Afri
ca, states that more than challeng
ed successfully the military might
of the 19th Century Europe. But
neither in Melistine, in Songhay,
Dahomey, nor Ashanti did politi
cal thought evolve that conception
of the States which is implicit in
tho principles upon which the Gov.
ernment of Liberia is founded.
“Never before July 26, had any
ono in Africa, and least of all an
African people, made so revolution
ary and pregnant a declaration as
, that in which the early Liberians
proclaimed: ‘All men are born eq
ually free and independent and
have certain natural .inherent, and
inalienable rights, among which
aro the rights of enjoying and de
fending lifle and liberty, of acquir
ing, possessing and protecting,
and of pursuing and obtaining sa
fety and happiness.
“The idea underlying these de
claration were, of course, nor ori
ginal with Liberians .neither were
they native to Africa, or at that
of capacity for the first time since
last November. Employment has
been jumping in the automobile
industry, due to preparation for
next year’s cars. Electric power
is nearing its high for this year.
Retail sales have been down, as
usually happens in the summer,
but the decline has not been great
er than seasonal in most states.
Good fall business is anticipated.
timo characteristic of African
thought. In fact that they were
nevertheless adopted and pro
claimed by an African peoples lies
their historical uniqueness.
‘Today Liberia rededicates her
self to the ideal of international
cooperation. She reaffirms her
attachment to the ways of peace,
for along those ways she hopes
to maintain progress and to a
chieve security. She still values
and solicits the good will of all
peoples.”

NA ACT CHAIRMAN WARNS
AGAINST HEALTH JIM CROW
New York, Sept. 8.—A challenge
to the Government”g exericse of
tho democratic ideal in providing
adequate health facilitise for the
American people was voiced by
Dr. Louis T. Wright, chairman of
th0 board of the National Associa
tion for the Advancement of Col
ored People.
The challenge was contained in
a letter dated July 30 and addres
sed to Miss Josephine Roche,
chairman of the Interdepartment_
al Committee to Coordinate Health
and Welfare Activitis, but just
made public today. Dr. Wright
said in part:
“I am writing to tell you how
much I was moved by the Nat
ional Health Conference. Its suc
cess was much more deeply rooted
and far reaching than was obvi
ous.
“I am heartily in accord with
tho idea of your committee to pro
vide adequate services for all the
American people, and this cannot
be successfully done if there are
to bo dual or ‘jim crow’ set-ups
even in the south. It ig true that
wonders are not to be expected
overnight, but this is a great chal
lenge to the integrity of our de
mocracy, the problem of human
health in this connection demands
a fine and exceptionally rare typo
of courage, which I am sure that
you and your committee possess.”
Dr. Wright, who advised the re
cent government health conferen-e
held in Washington to promote the
spending of $500,000,000 annually
for United States citizens, said
he had not yet a reply to his let
tef.
