AH authorities agree that public opinion is the fountainhead of the President's powers, especially in emergencies. Public approval saved T.

Roosevelt from a fate worse'than a political death when ho took the Panama Canal Zone. The only question is, which came first, the public opinion or the President's influence on that public opinion? At any rate, most authorities agree that during crises Consress usually acts merely to ratify the decisions made by Presidents. The first use of emergency powers by a President came almost immediately after the union wax formed. President Washington proclaimed an emergency and ordered out troops to quell the Pennsylvania whiskey rebellion. The farmers were using arms to whiskey and the ncv back up their boycott of a new hardship on them whiskey tax.

It's up to either the President or Congress to decide what is a threat of war. Either can declare an emergency.

He issued his proclamation and sent the soldiers to back it up. Those two acts of the first President are highly significant, be- almost any power he can get by with exercising, merely because it does not mention emergency powers. i Others take a more cautious I view. They assume it's the Presi- dent's sworn duty to defend the i nation, and his capacity as com- I mander-in-chief of the army and I navy gives him the power--in fact makes it his duty--to commit acts of war without consulting Congress, if those acts defend the nation in an emergency.

QflS" tr In the Spanish-American and the World War--a new technique began to develop in the White House. Both Presidents McRinley and Wilson tried to keep Congress, public opinion and Presidential emergency i i abreast of each other.

How much influence they wielded to create the public opinion that touched off the declaration of war still is hotly debated. President Roosevelt added a new twist. He openly sought public approval of a decision to back the democracies 'short of war," long before World War II started. He declared a state of emergency, which in itself influenced public opinion. Then, when the time was ripe in his opinion to strike for more aid to Britain, he merely recommended a course to Congress, assuming public opinion would force Congress to trail So far, that plan has worked well for him.

Phone 3146, British Position Better Than Four Months Ago, However; Pact Has Wide Range By UEWITT MACKENZIE The Turco-Bulgarian non-aggression pact is, as Berlin claims, a feather in the Rich's hat, and by the same token it represents a ievcre though not disastrous set- uui-i-v lui aiiu ner allies in both diplomatic and military spheres. Or we can put it this way: The Anglo-Allies have suffered a sharp reverse in the Mediterranean theatre, but their position as a whole is immeasurably better than it was four months ago. Within that period they have all but smashed the Roman empire in Africa.

This lias vastly reduced the threat to Egypt and the Suez Canal, increased Britain's domination of the Mediterranean, and so has all-out drive against England in the western theatre. I don't believe he intends any major offensive to try to force the Dardanelles at this juncture, unless the Turks support the Greeks, though he might undertake it if unexpected developments made it look like a good gamble. German occupation of Greece would, of course, give the Nazis valuable air-bases for operations against the British in the eastern Mediterranean. It also would tend to cut the Britons off from access to the Adriatic and Hie eastern i-uctst ui -uaiy. However, it wouldn't deprive the Anglo-Allies of the powerful naval and air base on the Greek Island of Crete which lies in a strategic position in the mouth of the Aegean.

It is said, too, unofficially and without confirmation, that Britain has turned the Greek island of Samothrace, northeast of Lemnos, into a tremendous air base with every modern accommodation. Why has Turkey signed this non-aggression pact?
