AID FOR

Senator Reed Smoot, one Of the

ers in the Senate. today joined the
group Of legislators who advocate a
more equitable fiscal system for the
District OF Columbia.
The lump sum appropriation Of
5000. 900 now contributed by the
Federal Government to the local
government Is entirely too small.
Senator Smoot believes.
While not committing himself In
favor of restoration Of the 60-4D
ratio in fiscal relations, Senator
Smoot indicated today that he
would throw his influence in the
coming session OF Congress to
legislation which would ease the
burden on local taxpayers, and
give the District budget much
stronger support from the Federal
Treasury than II receives at pres

Senator smoot is the ranking
Republican member of the Senate

ADOPTION OF UNIVERSAL DRAFT
URGED BY LEGION COMMANDER

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. IL
Establishment of the principle of
the Universal Draft into law will
be a step on the part of the United
States looking toward peace, Ed
ward f. Spafford of New York, Ma
tional Commander of the American
Legion, said today in an Armistice
Dav message to legionnaires.
Spafford linked with his appeal
for enactment of such law a de-
mand that the navy be built up to
the 5-5-3 ratio quota established by
the Washington Disarmament Con
ference.
Nine years now have passed
since the last guns flashed on the
front in France,' said Spafford s
message. "New trees are growing
in the Argonne. Plows have smooth
ed the trench sears from the fields
around st. Mihiel. On tho heights
above the Meuse vineyards arr
green. and children play on the
river bank at Chateau Thierrv.
"But in clustering groups all the
wav from the North Sea to the
Adriatic the crosses still mark the
spots where men died to bring
peace out of war. Representative
thousands of the Legion who have
just returned from France have
seen them and in their serried rows
have read message.
Must Keep Faith
"Those men beneath the thicker
ing sod at ROmagne, Thiaucourt,
and other hallowed spots, died that
men after them might live in iuet
and lastinp peace. AS they fell
thev passed to us who survived the
task of realizing that ideal. Until
the nermanencn of peace is assured,
until the possibility of war is made
utterly remote. it is for us to carry
on if we would keep the faith.
On this Armistice Dav, when 50
manv of us are fresh from a visit
to those graves and battlcfields, it
is a fitting time to repledon our
selves TO the cnusn in which our
comrades gave their lives. There
are concrete things at hand to do.
One. which the recent Legion con
vention, held close to the scenes OF
sacrifice in France, designated as
most pressing. is the enactment
INTO law of the principle of the
Universal Draft. This act, which
mandates service for all and profit
for none, placing the burden of
sacrifice on all, will be measure
for peace. All who hate war should
iofn the Legion in speaking out
firmly for the adoption of this mea-
sure.
Hopeful For Peace
