It's Time ÷o Sew
For Now end Spring
IT'S fun to sew during the long
winter evenings, when you use
these simple patterns, each in-
cluding a detailed sew chart, so
that you can follow them with no
trouble, and listen to the radio at
the same time. Right now, the
Stores have grand bargains in fab-
rics, too, so it's certainly the time
to get some~ sewing done. You
can make such pretty things, and
save so much money, by doing it.
Two-Pieeer for Girls.
Here's a charming dress that
~irls in the 10-to-16 size range will
rove for sckool, and it's so easy
to do that those who like sewing
can make it themselves. The
basque blouse hugs in (by mear~
of darts), to make the waist loeb
small. The skirt has such a preb
ty flare. Both can be worn with
other things. Choose wool crepe,
fiat crepe, silk print or moire.
Three Pretty Aprons.
Make this dainty, useful set el
aprons now, and have it ready
when spring weather arrives and
people begin to drive up unex.
pectedly for meals. You'll enjoy
having the aprons right now, too,
when you serve refreshments to
your club. This set is a nice party
prize, and a gift idea for your
friends who are brides-to-be. It in-
eludes two practical pinafore
styles, both made so that they can-
not slip off your shoulders when
you have your hands in the dish
water. Also, a sweet little frilly tie-
around. Choose dimity, linen, per-
caie or dotted Swiss.

Wang Ching.wei's Declaration
Forces China to Air Troubles
By Joseph W. La Blne--

Asia
War-torn China's biggest boast is
her constantly growing national
unity, a product of necessity that
has made Generalissimo Chiang
Kai-shek the strongest Chinese ruler
in modern history. But despite this
well-publicized unity, China has not
been able to make much of a show-
ing against her Japanese invaders.
Indeed, foreign military observers
find Tokyo's paper-thin front lines
so vulnerable that they say 30,000
American, British or French troops
could put the enemy to rout. But in
Jap-occupied territory are 270,000,-
000 civilians and 1,250,000 armed
GENERALISSIMO CHIANG
T/m~ m .to~ b/u~n~.
guerrillas whose spirit of national
unity is still not strong enough to
inspire a sudden, inevitably success-
ful attack.
Better than the national unity
argument is the theory that smart
General Chiang has been staging
a fake show of Chinese nationalism,
offering a good front at the expense
of his wavering government. Thot~gh
Chungking headquarters are over-
run with nepotism, corruption and
inefficiency, many abuses have been
tolerated to make the outside world
think China is strong. In the end
General Chiang wangled handsome
loans and credit arrangements from
both the U. S. and Britain, proving
the stunt was working, at least
temporarily.
Not anticipated, however, was the
walkout of one.time Premier Wang
Ching-wei, who celebrated New
Year's by reaching peace terms
with Japanese Premier Fuminaro
Konoye. Long a silent bulwark of
China's Kuomintang (Nationalist)
party, Mr. Wang reportedly met
at Hongkong with Japanese agents
and reached terms which would
make him China's head man, leav-
ing General Chiang out in the cold.
Terms: (1) China should opejt dip-
lomati¢ relations with Japanese pup-
pet state, Manchukuo; (2) China
should agree to economic "co-
operation" with Japan; (3) China
should adhere to the Jap-ltalo-Ger-
man anti-Communist agreement;
(4) China should accept Japanese
garrisons while the anti-Communist
pact was in force.
Interpretations of the Wang de-
marche have come thick and fast.
In Tokyo, happy Japanese thought it
meant a breakdown of the Kuomin-
tang and the spotlight of publicity on
China's internal troubles. With Chi-
any weakened, Japanese puppet
states would no longer seem point-
less. In Shanghai, still Chinese de-
spite its Japanese ownership, ob-
servers thought the Wang declara-
tion was a well-timed Jap move to
counteract U. S. and British credits
to General Chiang. Whatever the
cause, it was a happy day for Tokyo
because China has been showing
hardened resistance the past few
weeks.
With the die cast, General Chiang
no longer saw need for hiding his
troubles. From Chungking came
word of a wholesale purge from the
Kuomintang of some 200 peace par-
tisans. Expelled was Deserter
Wang, charged with having attempt-
ed to gain support from military
leaders in Szechuan and Yunnan
provinces.
Politics
When Purge failed, when Presi-
dent Roosevelt's favoritism for Left-
Wingere Corcoran, Hopkins, Jack-
.son and Oliphant began bothering
conservative New Dealers, ferecast-
ere saw a coming split in the Dem-
ocratic party. Veering away from
the White House were Vice Presi-
dent Garner, National Chairman
Farley and Secretary of State Hull
any of whom might be a conserva-
tive 1940 presidential candidate.
With two cabinet vacancies to fill,
President Roosevelt had a chance to
widen this breach by naming left
wingers.
What forecasters overlooked was
the always-present possibility of con-
cession, both by Garner, Farley,
Hull, et am, and the White House.
Result: President Roosevelt has
named Harry Hopkins to the com-
merce secretaryship and former
Gov. Frank Murphy of Michigan to
the attorney generalship, at the
isame time retaining party leader-
ship.
Roosevelt strategy: Until just be-
fore congress opened, the White
House reserved comment on what
every legislator knew was a certain-
ty, namely, drastic revision of such
New Deal brainchildren as social
security, the Wagner act, relief ad-
ministration and neutrality legisla-
tion. The President also knew such
revision was a certainty, but the
trump card was held back. Then,
with the Hopkins and Murphy ap-
pointments apparently due for con-
gressional opposition, the white
House was able to soothe ruffled
nerves by promising he would do
no more bill drafting. Consequently
both appointments are being ap-
proved, though Hopkins must ap-
pear before a committee investigat-
ing relief irregularities, and Murphy
before the senate judiciary commit-
tee to explain his attitude toward sit-
down strikes.
What cannot be avoided, however,
is the feeling that white House con-
cessions outweigh those of Mr. Gar-
ner and other rebels. Having com-
mitted himself to a political back
seat while congress is in session,
Mr. Roosevelt must find some way
to recapture the driver's seat or
risk political oblivion by convention
time next year.
Defense
During the World war German
"U" boats made naval history by
approaching U. S. Atlantic coast
cities. Last September German
submarines were still a menace,
helping to force blockade-wary
Britishers into the embarrassing
peace of Munich. In January, Ger-
man submarines again made head-
lines because Berlin announces her
determination to equal Great Brit-
ain's strength in submarine ton-
nage.
Under the Anglo-German naval
pact of 1935, Germany has this right
under emergency, but London fails
to understand what emergency
faces the Reich today. Now built,
under construction or appropriated
for are 71 German submarines;
smaller than average, their tonnage
is only 31,282. Britain, with 73 sub-
marines weighing 75,904 tons, finds
many of her heavy underwater craft
obsolete. Not only is London fright-
ened by Germany's numerical su-
periority if the Reich builds up to
parity, but also because Germany
intends to build several large ocean-
going submarines of 1,000 tons or
more.
This program has tremendous sig-
nificance on the international pic-
ture. It can only stimulate the
world arms race, since England
must now build more ships capable
of convoying her ocean steamers.
In France, Where the Anglo-German
naval agreement has always been
unpopular (because, claims Paris,
London should never have recog-
nized Germany's right to any naval
strength), the Reich's new subma-
rine parity has produced g.enu~,
alarm. Italy, always a big "U'
boat builder, reflects that the corn-
bined German- Italian submarine
fleets can now patrol the seven seas.
Convinced that a new diplomatic
onslaught is behind Germany's
move, certain British circles are
capitalizing on their troubles to win
U. S. military support. Their story:
That Germany's 1,000 ton subma-
rines are being built to cross the
Atlantic, in retaliation for the ccol
reception Hitler tactics have been
receiving in official Washington. If
this danger--real or false-can be
impressed on U. S, congressmen,
Great Britain hopes it wW result in
a larger American navy.
Science
Outstanding among 1938's news
stories was the growth and flourish
of dictators. To casual investiga-
tors, this is a new and revolution-
ary phenomenon, but historians re-
call that regimentation is centuries
old. By year's end, dictators had
been placed on the defensive at least
in the minds of democratic nation-
als in the U. S., Britain and France.
And although 1939 may see more
growth, more flourish, science has
stepped in with a prediction.
The man: Dr. John R. Swanton
of Washington's Smithsonian insti-
tution.
The forecast: "In spite of the ef-
forts of political social or clerical
groups to coerce the spirit of man.
man has always been able to resist
and reassert his freedom... Chris-
tianity, the great revolution of the
Eighteenth century and the growth
of science have been man's answer
to all attempts to dominate him."

Brucharf s Washington Digest
President Put Over Fast One in
Naming Hopkins to Commerce Post
Reduces Chances of Investigation of WPA and Its Relid
Spending; Appointment of Harrington to
Hopkins' Place Seen as Strategic Move.
By WILLIAM BRUCKART
WNU Service, National Press Bldg., Washington, D. C.
WASHINGTON.--Many persons in
Washington are convinced that
President Roosevelt has slipped a
fast ball right over the plate in
front of his congressional critics by
the transfer of Harry Hopkins to
the job of secretary of commerce
and the selection of Col. F. C. Har-
rington as works progress admin-
istrator. It appears to some ob-
servers, certainly, that the presi-
dential maneuver has gone a long
way toward reducing, if not elimi.
nating, the chances of a dirty in-
vestigation of WPA and its relief
spending.
The President knew of the brew-
ing trouble that had Hopkins as
the focus; he was told how much
mud slinging was due to take place,
and how the haters of Hopkins and
his methods were preparing to leave
no stone unturned in exposing ev-
erything about Hopkins and his or-
ganization that could be made to
appear slimy. Yet, Hopkins is per-
haps the closest of all of the "inner
circle" of advisers to the President
and surely he is the President's best
personal friend. Naturally, he want-
ed to keep Hopkins around.
In naming Hopkins to the post of
secretary of commerce, vacated
only at Christmastime by the vet-
eran official, Daniel C. Roper, Mr.
Roosevelt has had to take the
chance that the appointee would
meet some razzing in senate con-
firmation. That is a chance, of
course, but Mr. Hopkins will be con-
firmed after the boys in the senate
have had their say. But there will
be little opportunity for the anti-
administration Democrats to sink
their teeth into the Hopkins appoint-
ment to the commerce Job. That
department has less money to
spread about perhaps than most
important government jobs. Admin-
istration friends in the senate, there-
fore, can say with propriety that a
razzing of Hopkins, as the com-
merce nominee, is not to be in.
dulged in because this is another
job, not related to spending relief
money.
Appointment of Harr~ngton
Another Strategic Move
I am told on very good authority
that this will be the strategy em-
ployed when the Hopkins nomina-
tion is under consideration. To all
critics of Hopkins, the administra-
tion friends simply will reply, in
effect, "you wanted Hopkins out
• of the relief job. Now he is out,
etc." It is undoubtedly a smart
piece of politics and it will work--
for awhile.
The President also strengthened
his position in the coming battle
w~h ctm~rmm by the appointment
of Colonel Harrington. The colonel
is a regular army engineer. He
has been assistant chief engineer of
WPA and knows the organization.
And most important of all, Colonel
Harrington leans somewhat to the
conservative side, which makes him
acceptable to most senators, even
anti-administraUon Democrats.
Mr. Roosevelt is taking no
chances on any ruckus arising over
Colonel Harrington, however, and
has avoided it by a clever piece of
detail. Colonel Harrington has been
designated only as "acting WPA
administrator." He will run the or-
ganization as though he were full
fledged on the job. The difference
is that the designation of the colonel
as acting administrator eliminates
the requirement of a senate confir.
marion. In other words, the senate
can do nothing about the Hopkins
successor unless it acts by special
resolution. If the Harrington name
had come in as a nomination, there
could be wide open exposure of
WPA tactics by the committee
which would consider the nomina-
tion. So it is plain to see that the
President slipped away from his
critics in this manner,
The third angle of the strategy
also is vital to the picture I am
seeking to present. The chief dep-
uty administrator under Hopkins
has been Aubrey WKlinms. It was
Williams, you may recall, who has
made speeches and has advised
WPA workers to "vote for your
friends," to insist on federal pres-
ervation of "Your rights," and R
was he who said in a speech that
he was inclined to believe that class
hatred was a good thing.
Many Attack~ on Relief
Policies to Be Expected
To keep Mr. Williams out of the
clutches of the wolves around the
capitol, Mr. Roosevelt took him off
of the job of deputy relief adminis-
trator and appointed him as direc-
tor of the national youth adminis.
tration. Again, the senate can get
to Mr. Williams only if it is willing
to adopt a special resolution for an
investigation, and there is probably
enough administration strength in
the senate to block such a resolu-
tion.
The lines have not yet be~ tight.
ly drawn in congress as a result of
the sudden maneuver by the Presi-
dent. There will be many attacks
on the relief policies at an early
date because the WPA must have
something like $750,000,000 in addi-
tional money before the middle of
February, and that request will be
laid before congress along with oth-
er calls for money in the first de-
ficiency bill. But Mr. Hopkins will
be nesting comfortably in his pan-
elled office on the fifth floor of the
commerce department; he will be
"completely detached" from WPA
and so the controversy over voting
the money will settle down to a mat-
ter of principle without having too
much personality in it.
The appointment of Col. Harring-
ton will be much advertised by ad-
ministration supporters in order to
help others forget that Hopkins once
held the job. Colonel Harrington is
accepted as a high grade man. His
army associates know him as capa-
ble and efficient and the critics of
relief policies cannot help feeling
that he will do a fairly good job.
He has not engaged in politics, as
Hopkins did, and thus is immune
from that approach.
Beneath the surface, plans are
said to be under way to give the
country a "correct impression" of
the new WPA. Colonel Harrington
is reported to be planning to do
away with most of the boon dog-
gling, sewing circles to make baby
diapers, writers' projects, art proj-
ects, what-else-have-you. He wants
to use the WPA money for "con-
structive purposes,"
Hopkins is Objectionable
To a Mojority in Congress
At the proper time, therefore,
congress will learn of what is going
to be done by the new administra-
tor.
And then comes the climax. The
President again will ask congress
to vote relief funds in bulk, in blank
check, just as happened before. The
members will be reassured by the
administration concerning the abil-
ity, honesty and soundness of plans
of the administrator. Mr. Roose-
velt is said to hope that the strategy
wllI work. I doubt it, but stranger
things have happened. There have
been few times in my 20 years as a
Washington observer that the feel-
ing against a member of the execu-
tive's staff has been so heated as it
has grown to be concerning Hop-
kins and the relief spending that he
carried on. It will be recalled that
he never minced words about con-
gressional critics, and it ~ be re-
membered, as well, that he sought
to help the President "purge" a
number of recalcitrant Democrats
who were seeking re-election. It
appears very strongly that Mr.
Roosevelt has elevated to his cabi-
net an individual thoroughly objec-
tionable to a majority of congress
and has, at the same time, provid-
ed himself with a chance to get
spending money again. He may not
win with the maneuver, but he has
caught a good many persoas off
guard with the trick.
But what of Hopkins as secretary
of commerce, assuming that the
name will be confirmed by the sen-
ate?
Well, Mr. Hopkins will draw his
pay regularly on the first and fif-
teenth of each month. He will be
faithful in going to his office in the
powerful automobile that is provid-
ed by the government for the sec-
retary of commerce. He will sign
the papers which the secretary of
commerce is required to sign be-
cause somebody, holding subordi-
nate positions and who knows what
it is all about, will tell him that is
their recommendation.
Secretary of Commerce to
Make 130,000 Appointments
The patent office will run, as it
always has run by itself, in a very
efficient manner. The bureau of air
commerce will be well managed be-
cause it has capable people in sub-
ordinate positions. The bureau of
foreign and domestic commerce,
the bureau of fisheries, the bureau
of lighthouses and the others, or
most of them, will get along with-
out too much trouble because Mr.
Hopkius probably will leave them
alone.
But we should not leave Mr. Hop-
kins alone yet for the reason that
late this year, or early In 1940,
there will be about 130,000 appoint-
ments to be made by the secretary
of commerce. Next year is the pe-
riod for the regular 10-year census
and the personnel must be named.
Next year also is a campaign Year,
a national election.
In the meantime, the business of
the country which is supposed to
receive encouragement and assist-
ance from the department of com-
merce will be allowed to indulge in
hope. It will not be harrassed or
spanked or threatened with major
surgery beyond the Hopkins capac-
Ity to do that sort of thing.

Shadowless Groundhog
Groundhog day, February 2, is
a perennial calendar joke on peo-
ple who persist in belief in the
Sign of the Shadow. For their
little rodent prophet never fails to
deceive them by sleeping while
they watch. The groundhog is
one of the soundest of all winter
sleepers, and has never been
known to emerge from his cozy
winter quarters until long after
his shadow could be a matter of
public concern. He appears about
the end of February in the more
southerly part of his range, as
late as May up in the mountainous
northwest.
