Rep. Dies Raises
His Head Again . .
T HE SAGA OF MARTIN DIES and
his "Committee to Investigate Un-
American Activities" has reached a new climax.
When the savant of subversion recently asked
Congress for $100,000 in appropriations, he
blundered into a number of contradictions
sufficiently revealing to rouse at least certain
portions of Congress and the press to belated in-
dignation.
In order to thwart complaints that he had
done almost nothing in the way of investigating
Fascism, the cornered Representative claimed
that last year he was in possession of informa-
tion which might have prevented the Pearl
Harbor attack, but which the Administration re-
fused to let him use.
Investigation brought to light actual corre-
spondence showing that the Department of
Justice, on its own initiative, had asked Dies to
submit any information which he might have
concerning Japanese activities, and that Dies
refused to do so, saying the Department of Jus-
tice had hundreds of agents and could get its
own evidence. Caught flat-footed, the embar-
rassed Congressman later tried to squirm out of
it by claiming that he had given the informa-
tion to the intelligence branch of the War De-
partment, a claim which appears equally
groundless.
FORCED ever more deeply into the corner,
Dies made another effort last Saturday to
redeem himself-an effort which fizzled so
completely that even the blindest were able to
see that the whole affair was a big sham-as
have been the rest of the projects of Mr. Dies',
committee. For on that day the Representative
submitted to Congress his much-talked-of 285-
page report on how Japan plans to conquer
America.
There is nothing in the voluminous report
which all well-informed government officials
did not already know-including the fifteen-
year-old Japanese volume on how to conquer
America. Who does not know that many of the
Japanese on the west coast are either potential
or real enemies? What kind of obscure secret is,
it that these Japanese have little love for the
United States? How new and startling a fact is
it that many of them side with their homeland
in the present war? Such was the nature of Mr.
Dies' evidence.
BUT the resourceful Congressman finally
pulled his chestnuts out of the fire, and it
appears now that he will get his $100,000. For
there were cheers when he made his speech on
the floor of the House Thursday, in which he
denied the charge that he was a "liar," and
stated that he was planning to investigate Fasc-
ist propaganda directed against President Roose-
velt.
In that hour of impassioned oratory-that
last and, unfortunately, probably successful, at-
tempt to get his appropriation-Congressman
Dies added nothing valid to his defense
against the charges made against him. He
equld back up his denials with no concrete evi-
dence, and was able only to rant on in a tone
of righteous indignation about his patriotism
and his 11 years of service in Congress. And the
mention of his alleged plans to investigate
Fascistic propaganda against Roosevelt was
clearly a last-minute expedient to win enough

WASHINGTON--Here is the inside story on
how the Army finally got permission to improve
and develop a new short-cut air route over the
prairies of Canada to Alaska.
Last Sunday night, Senator Scott Lucas of
Illinois telephoned to Undersecretary of War
Robert Patterson.
"If the Army doesn't act on this immediately,"
Senator Lucas said, "I'm going to start a Senate
investigation within 24 to 48 hours. It's about
time we knew whether the Canadians were with
us or not. I'm a friend of the President's and
a strong administration supporter, but if he
doesn't act, the Senate is going to."
The Senator from Illinois was referring to
the fact that two days before, a Northwest Air-
lines plane had left to pioneer the new air route
over Canadian prairies, had been stopped by
Canadian officials, impounded for 48 hours and,
then forced to return to the United States.
Lucas' threat was sufficient. Early next morn-
ing, White House Secretary Marvin Maclntyre
phoned him to "hold his horses," that every-
thing would be OK.
A few hours later, the Northwest Airlines
plane flew back to Canada to begin setting up
ground crews, radio equipment, and technicians,
not for a commercial route, but on behalf of
the Army.
Canadian Yankee
The man who has caused countless delays to
the Army in getting a commercial airline to
pioneer this route is C. D. Howe, Canadian Min-
ister of Munitions and Supply, and Acting Min-
ister of Transport.
C. D. Howe is a native American, born in
Witham, Mass., and educated at the Massachu-
setts Institute of Technology. Later he migrated
to Canada and applied his New England shrewd-
ness to building grain elevators and pulp mills.
Today he and Premier Mackenzie King are the
two strong men of Canada.
Howe has no objection to the U. S. Army flying
over Canada, but like a good many U. S.-British
businessmen, he is looking beyond the war. And
he seems adamant against a U. S. commercial
airline getting a foothold over any part of Ca-
nadian territory-especially a route which after
the war will be the short-cut over Alaska to Asia.
And he haggled for several weeks, while precious
time passed, vital to the strengthening of Alaska.
On the other hand, the Army finds that a
commercial airline, accustomed to flying under
winter conditions, can develop air routes quickly
and efficiently, permitting the Army to concen-
trate on other things. That is why Northwest

Airlines finally will do the job for the Army.
Note: On the American side of the negotia-
tions, the Air Corps got only the most dignified
and circumspect help from General Stanley Em-
bick, a coast artilleryman, who feels toward the
Army's ground forces as the Admirals do toward
the battleship.
'Office Of Good Grammar'
Archibald MacLeish, noted poet, Librarian, of
Congress and Chief of the Office of Facts and
Figures, now has the job of censoring all
speeches of Roosevelt cabinet members et al.
Since MacLeish has several famous writers
on his staff,rthey have not been able to resist
correcting a bit of bad grammar in the speeches'
of cabinet members.
The question of split infinitives especially
seems to offend the boys in the Office of Facts
and Figures.
So when they went over a proposed speech by
Assistant Secretary of State Adolf Berle the
other day, they returned it with a couple of
split infinitives noted on the margin.
It happens, however, that Mr. Berle is quite
a stylist himself. He taught for many years at
Columbia, has written two or three books, and
has assisted the President with many of his.
speeches. So Berle is now suggesting that the
State Department set up a board to correct the
punctuation and grammar of Mr. MacLeish's
poetry.
Note: New nickname for the OFF is Office of
Facts, Figures and Good Grammar.
40-Hour Fight
The furious battle over the bill to suspend the
40-hour week in war plants caused a personal
rift between two House leaders that may take
a long time to heal.
When Representative John McCormack, Mass-
achusetts liberal, was elected Democratic Floor
Leader, one of his strongest supporters was a
colleague who had nothing in common with
McCormack except friendship-anti-New Deal,
anti-Labor Representative Gene Cox of Georgia.
It was with hushed astonishment, therefore,
that the House listened to Cox's bitter attack
against McCormack during the stormy debate
over the anti-40-hour proposal. His voice stri-
dent with anger, Cox denounced McCormack on
the ground that his opposition to abolishing the
40-hour week was "not good sportsmanship,
and I wonder if it is good leadership."
"I have hoped," the Georgian thundered, "that
at some time the gentleman from Massachusetts
would come to a realization that he is supposed
to speak for the majority of this House rather
