TROUBLE
The Act of Havana may prove
extremely embarrassing to Anglo-
American friendship if any of tha
other 20 signatories chooser to in-
voke a comparatively unknown
provialon of the covenant
The aomewhat overlooked clause
videa that any Western repub-
may demand establishment of
a trusteeship over territories in
this hemisphere owned by a for-
eign power. Three nations chosen
by vote of the 21 republics will
exercise this authority when and
if it is deemed necessary. So far
as is known -end so our inter-
national lawyers interpret this
provision it applies to Canada as
well as to Martinique Trinidad
the Dutch West Indies etc. It is
all-embracing. Incidentally a de-
mand for such action can be made
upon almost any pretext It is not
dependent upon any action by
Canada or Great Britain which
threatens to involve this hemi-
sphere in the European conflict
If as many expect Herr Hit-
ler eventually achieves economic
and political domination over any
of the South American nations he
would probably seek to make trou-
ble for the British and the Unit-
ed States by fomenting a move-
ment for a Canadian trusteeship
that would remove it from the
sphere of British influence. The
idea may seem far-fetched at the
present moment but some of our
hard-headed and realistic diplo-
mats foresee possibilities of trou-
ble in this situation.
CKACKUT
The appointment of Ed Flynn
of the Bronx as Democratic na-
tional chairman will win no votes
for the president in the consid-
ered opinion of liberal and con-
servative party members. The
43-year-old gray-haired Mr. Flynn
is a pleasant likable fellow and
an able citizen but he has defi-
nite liabilities.
Unlike James A. Farley Ed is
a small-town parochial sort of
chap. His political horizon has
been bounded not by the five bor-
ough. of Manhattan but by the
Dealers like Harold Ickes. Mayor
F. H. LaGuardia hitherto friendly
to FDRs third -term ambitions
despises Flynn more deeply than
any other New York politico. Tam-
many Hall leaders and district
workers consider him a traitor be-
cause he deserted them to bask
in the legal and patronage sun-
shine of the New Deal. He backed
FDRs mayoralty candidate in 1833
Mr. McKee and helped to turn
City Hall over to LaGuardia.
DEFECTIONS
Cordell Hulls Havana triumph
if any lost its flavor as soon
as he returned to the mainland of
the united States.
En route to Washington from
Miami the secretary of state
picked up again the lost thread of
American politics. At every stop
he sent his aides on the hop-skip-and-jump
to purchase newspapers
in the railroad station. After scan-
ning briefly reports of the Ha-
vana Conferences doings he
flipped to the editorial pan. And
almost without exception he dis-
covered that Florida Georgia and
Carolina newspapers mostly
Democratic were saying kind
thing about Wendell Willkie and
muttering over FDRs third-term
try. He wouldn't have believed it
he confided to a few friends if he
had not read it with his own
eyes.
Fact is that the White House is
deeply concerned over the pros-
pect of possible defections of sev-
eral Southern and border states.
So much so that the mesident. in
making his periodical non-political
"Inspections" of naval and
military bases plans to schedule
several trips into the Deep South
between now and November.
RECORD
There are five living Demo-
cratic national chairmen past or
present and three men still alive
who once received the honor of
the Democratic nomination for
president. Three of the former
chairmen Vance McCormick
George White and John J. Ros-
ie ob have declared for Wendell
Willkie. Cordell Hull also served
as national chairman but only as
an interim appointmmit; he never
conducted a national campaign.
The three living presidential
candidates are James M. Cox
John W. Davis an d Alfred E.
Smith. The latter has announced
his support of the Republican
nominee and it is assumed that
Mr. Davis shares Al's sentiments.
Mr. Cox will probably support
FDR but he heads the syndicate
which is buying the Yankees for
the disillusioned James A. Far-
ley. He is helping to take Jim out

CITY MICE
PROBLEM LEFT
TO COMMITTEE
Council Considers
Needs And Income;
Hears Citizens
The city council Monday night
deliberated over municipal fi-
nances and arrived at the conclu-
sion that the problem is some-
thing to be threshed out by its
finance committee.
Water rato hikes occupation
taxes and other possible sources
of revenue were talked and at
least from one quarter came the
suggestion that the city restrict its
spending to the funds it has in
fight without looking to means of
raising additional cash before O.
M. Haroed chairman of the fi-
nance committee told the council
the problem is something that his
committee must work out that the
discussion was leading to no end
and that the conference with citi-
zens and representatives of the
Tax League simply meant the
council was listening to statements
of facts that are already familiar
to the body.
Hamed suggested that the pres-
ent budget may be set up on an
11-months salary basis and that if
additional revenue can be found
the funds for the twelfth month
can be spent through a supple-
mental appropriation before the
close of the fiscal year. He indi-
cated study is being given an in-
crease in the upper bracket water
rates saying an additional $15000
can be raised and that citizens
who pay their water bills must
understand they are paying for
service and not wgter insofar as
the water department is the citys
principal source of revenue. -It
was at the close af the
meeting that the council ap-
proved an ordinance repealing
tht vresent street tax effective
Jan. 1 after voting down a pro-
posal to amend the present street
tax ordinance.
When the repealing ordinance
was introduced Alderman W. C.
Hilliard told the council since
studying state laws he has changed
his position on the matter and
now believes that inasmuch as
the cite needs the revenue the
present ordinance providing for
the payment of $2 or giving of
one day's work to the street de-
partment by men from the ages
of 21 to 50 should be amended to
provide for the payment of $2 or
two days' work given by the in-
dividual taxed or by an able-
bodied substitute. It was Hilliards
contention that more people will
pay the $2 rather than work two
days and that the street depart-
ment will receive in the neigh-
borhood of $4000 annually from
the tax.
Alderman Ed Singleton con-
curred with Jock Lynch Tax
League auditor in the contention
the city is not getting its moneys
worth from the levy observing
the only satisfactory way to op-
erate the street department is to
furnish the street commissioner
the cash and let him employ the
men.
Hilliard contended his propos-
al would stop "chiseling and
that while men can be employed
for km than $2 for one day
work under the existing erdl-

He declared however that one
surprise weapon to his knowl-

against the Eben Emael fortress

only.
"A new weapon cannot be used

Fairgrounds Pushed
City Seeks Legal Advice On Sewer Funds
City officials today sought legal
advice in a move to procure funds
for extending sanitary sewer serv-
ice to the fairgrounds after the
council was told Monday night
that business and professional
people here have subscribed to a
$1000 fund that will be turned
over to the Board of County Com-
missioners in order to have the
new building ready for the fair
that opens here Sept 16.
The fairgrounds committee of
the Chickasha Chamber of Com-
merce headed by W. G. Methvin
after raising the cash needed to
do necessary work at the fair-
grounds before county funds are
available has asked that the city
provide $286 for steel pipe for a
sewer line under the railway
tracks the cite having previously
agreed to furnish $100 brick for
manholes and other materials
while the Board of County Com-
missioners and WPA will provide
for around 3.000 feet of pipe that
is to be laid.
With Bob Shelton city attorney
way for two weeks the council
could find no legal advice on the
question of using money from the
sewer fund but over the protest
of two aldermen the council di-

body their opinion on the matter

Without mentioning specifically
the controversial question of con-

complacency "in the face of ter-

declared:
"The one and only sure way for
our nation to avoid being drawn

asserted in the Senate today tha1;
it would be a "crime to upset
present laws governing mobilize
tion of the guard.
The Iowa senator contended that
many guardsmen had enlisted with
the understanding that they would
be called into federal service only
in time of war.
He asserted that It would 'be
"injustice to change the premise
on which federal service would
be required by giving the prefi-1
dent tiie right to order the mili-
tiamen into service now.

the army would have Insufficient
equipment to train the 400000
men the Burke-Wadsworth bill
would draft by October.

ment he told reporters for all the

would be used in training the first

from 21 through 30 who would

The war spotlight focused for weeks on the English
Channel and North Sea switched today to Africa when
three columns of Italian troops moving under the biasing
sun were driving into British Somaliland while another
force thrust into Egypt.
Thus the grim game for domination of a continent was
being played out in one of the hottest spots on earth in
the area between Ethiopia and Italian Somaliland fronting
on the steaming Gulf of Aden.
The British communique announcing the new action
noted optimistically that the British were prepared to resist
the Nasi allies. Closer to Europe Italian troops were also
reported by the Italian high command to have advanced
into Egypt from Libya.
The place and the extent of these operations were not
disclosed. Another Italian column already has thrust deep
into Northern Kenya Colony adjoining Ethiopia.
