BROWN Mambar « i Congress, Seventh phlq District I t is the general consensu* o f opin- iwi on Cspito] H ill that the president’* broadcast o f lust Thursday night con­ stituted another long step .toward American involvement in a shooting war. Some contend that the speech was the last step and that the sentry o f the United States into war is bound to result therefrom* In consid ering the present situation it must be remembered, that the President took personal responsibility fo r the orders he has issued fo r the American Navy to attack Axis submarines or war ves eels on sight in certain Atlantic waters* It muBt. also he recognized . that, as President and Commander in Chief o f 'the A m y and hjavy, Mr, RnOseveit does have {lower, to. order the Navy or .the Regular Arm y any­ where he pleases— even though* such orders may result in the outbreak of hostilities and a final, declaration o f War, either by or against the United States. While the speech follows along the line o f the pronouncement made b y the President on May 27th, it goes much farteher through seemingly guaranteeing U . Navy.1 protection for foreign merchant' vessels traveling ip American waters, as .designated by the. President. In his May speech the President announced his,'determination to have Ameriean navUl vessels defend themselves from attack. "L ast Thurs­ day evening Mr. Roosevelt announced his determination npt to wait for an attack, but to .seek out and sink Axis war craft and submarines, wherever found along American sea routes, as a natter o f self defense. I f f Till ■ Jill iIn K , w - t s a ie o io o n m i iw ixvrau C o n f e r e n c e & e p i 2 8 Suming- up the whole speech— the general ^interpretation here is that either the Axis Powers must keep . their vessels out o f the sea areas des­ ignated by the President or they will be fired upon b y Americais'naval craft; I f -such shooting starts and there is - any fighting back, then the United • States wili be a t war. Such a war may not be a deelarcd war as a result o f an art o f Congress, an provided in th e Constitution. I t may be an unofficial war, or a Presidential war; but it will "'- be- war just the same. It is possible that such an outbreak o f hostilities may. not-lead to, America's entry into a general war against the Axis Pow­ ers, but only .to a limited naval war­ fa re ; but,it is also quite probable that such hostilities map result, in Ameri­ cans fu ll entrance into the struggle, including the. sending o f an expedi­ tionary force o f American soldiers' to Europe. In any event Mr. sRoosevelt has issued a challenge. Only the fu ­ ture can reveal fo r a certainty what -the answer to that challenge will be. d iv o r c e s u r r g Michael J.

She charges neglect and cruelty. They were married Jan. 1 ,1 9 3 2 in Xenia. Charging non-support, Eleanor E Nelson filed suit against Charles, J.

LESTER SMITH s INJUNCTION OBTAINED A temporary restraining order was Obtained by LuOy Penewit in an in­ junction suit filed against her husband Harold Penewit, Xenia, R . R, 4, to en­ join him from molesting her in Xenia. The couple has divorce proceedings pending in Lucas-County, 0 ., courts and the plaintiff claims the defendant has been threatening her -since the action Was filed. A s this is written’ there is every'in* dieation that ,the danger o f war with Japan is being rapidly dissipated. The recent action o f Emperor JJirohito in taking pergonal command ol! the Jap­ anese Arm y is considered, most signi­ ficant. It is w ell known that the Em­ peror does not want„ a . Japsnese- American conflict, and* that he is be­ hind Prime Minister Konoye in his ef­ forts terreach some satisfactory agree­ ment with this country. Most observ­ ers here are firmly convinced that a final peaoeful understanding will bo reached between the United Stats and Japan. Sdme even go so far as to pre­ dict that Japan, will withdraw from the A xis. Assured pence in the Pacific Is o f vital importance to the United States and its defense. Such a peace would also he a terrific blow to the A xlo cause. The German A rm y is digging in along the Russian front. Its officer* saw resigned to the necessity o f carry­ in g on the war against the Soviet troops throughout the winter. In fact, according to information received here some o f the German military leaders are not at all certain the Axis can hold present conquered Russian terri­ tory during the months to Come. There is a possibility, and perhaps a probability that the Russians may drive the invaders back maay miles from their present position. British and American planes, guns, and tanks are now being fed ijto the Russian lines. The Soviet Unkm> has an al­ most inexhaustable supply o f men. The Russians may also soon have superiority In the amofcnt and quality o f military equipment. They are fight­ ing on their own ground. The German Arm ies are fa r fr*m theif base Of supplies. Much o f their best equipment and many o f their finest troops, hue* been destroyed or disabled during the invasion attempt. Here is a paragraph that perhaps should n ot appear hi th is column.
