whereas gambling, betting and other

the District of Columbia" He said
that crime was not increasing in the
District. but on the contrary was de-

were stricken out.
A second resolution introduced by
the Police and Fire Protection Com

SEARS TO BARTER
|NFORE|GN MARTS
Goods to Be Exchanged in
Effort to Obtain Trade
Abroad.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 3.-Sears-
Roebuck & Co. is reverting to the an
cient method of barter in a bid for
foreign markets.
Gen. William I. Westervelt, tech
nical adviser to the president of the
merchandising house, confirmed to-
day that the company plans to form
a new subsidiary which will be de-
voted entirely to trading by barter
with foreign countries.
George F. Dixon of Geneva, ILL.,,
formerly a General Motors executive,
will direct the new enterprise.
Details of the organization have
not been worked out. 1t was under
stood, however, that use of the barter
method would help overcome the
handicap of exchange restrictions,
and that Sears would endeavor to
trade its farm, automotive and cleo
trical equipment and general mer-
chandise for goods which the COM
pany could use in manufacturing or
for resale.
Westervelt, who is laying the plans,
Is close associate of George N
Peek, special foreign trade adviser to
President Roosevelt He was director
of the division of processing and dis
tribution of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration when Peek was
the A. A. A. head.

delegate the French government to
send into this province an army of
occupation to see that the voting is
done without intimidation. There
seems to be little doubt that the
French will obtain that mandate any
time they want.
Consider Move Aggression.
What the German answer will be to
French troops entering the Saar ter
ritory is easy to guess from Hitler's
declarations. He says such a step will
be construed by Germany as an act
Of aggression. A trial mobilization OF
the German troops took place a few
weeks ago, and the German soldiers
were brought near the Saar border
with rapidity unequaled even during
the World War.
War clouds are hanging heavier
than ever over Europe. Belgium Hol-
land and Switzerland, which cannot
by any stretch of imagination be
called bellicose nations, have just in
creased substantially their military
expenditures.
Mussolini has put the whole ma
tion on tUdr basis and is max
ing no bones about it, Russia
claims to haze the strongest
mechanical army in the ,Dorld and
is ready to proUe it. Poland has just
passed a bill providing for enroll
nent and training OF all ciDiliGns
for military auxiliary seruice, in
cluding iUomen up to the age of
IS. France has been farming for
peace" for the last IS years and
con boast OF the best military ma
chinery in the iDorld.
What Germany has been doing is q
profound secret, but there is no doubt
that she has not been idle. Marshal
Petain declared recently that the
Reich possesses already 100000 pro-
fessional soldiers and could within
six days increase this number by first
mobilization measures to 1,600 900 and
progressively to 100000. which is,
roughly. the same as Germany's pre-
war strength, as far as numbers are
concerned.
Armament Inferior.
In armament the Germans are
probably behind.
The Reichswehr IS fully equipped
with field artillery and has samples
of heavy guns and tanks. But what
is more important is the fact that the
metal factories all over Germany are
equipped to produce large number
of heavy guns within three months.
1t will require the same period of time
for the German chemical factories to
be transformed into factories pro-
ducing poison gas.

Commission in 1916. This order, by
setting seven square feet of space for
standing passengers as the minimum
over a half hour average period in
rush hours, seeks to give each paSSen-
ger not less than three square feet in
any individual car, although some
get even less.
This order, he said, was not intend
ed as an ideal, but was simply trans
lating into a regulation for the first
time the standards actually existing
at the time. The World War inter
vened before the commission could
improve it's standards, and they have
never been improved since.
Would Set New Quota.
Roberts suggestion is that standards
from now on be set not for an aver
age period, but for each individual
car, so that when standing load is
one passenger to seven feet, it would
be illegal for the motorman or con-
ductor to allow another passenger on
board.
The $4,000 weekly passes now sold,
plus the cash riders, he said, have so
crowded the cars that every vehicle
which is capable of moving over rails
is out on the street, leaving no re-
serve stock for maintenance. The
service can only be improved by large
purchases of new equipment. He Sug-
gests S1,000,000 worth Of new cars
right away. If this expense cannot be
met out of increasing operating reve-
nues, then let the company sell stock,
bonds or notes for as much as it needs,
he says.
In addition to the ST 600, 900 in new
equipment, he called for new rout-
ing scheme, including three tunnels.
to cost S3,500,000. He suggested that
the Federal Government pay part of
this cost (S2,O00,000 for one of the
District the rest.
The most expensive rerouting plan
suggested by the commission wit
nesses, according to the brief, would
cost about $1,300,000, although the
company submitted one plan to cost
$1,500,000. Any plan so far offered,
said Roberts, would accomplish only
a small part of what the merger act
intended, namely, joint use by the
new company of trackage formerly
operated competitively by two old
companies.
He claimed that factors of major
importance in the reorganization of
the unified street railway system have
been definitely determined prior to
the general hearing and the conclu-
sion of the investigation" mentioning
the orders for abandonment of track
on Fourth street south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue and on street west of
Dupont Circle.
Two years have elapsed since the
passing of the merger act, he said, and
practically every change has been
toward the reduction of service when
the increased patronage, induced by
the pass system. is taken into con-
sideration."

Despite the belief of United States

~ is getting louder now that the
question of possession of the
Saar Valley has become such a vital

Mr.. FOrd's Opportunity
From the Portland orszonian

From the Portland Oregonian.
On the occasion of his list birthday
anniversary Henry Ford was asked if
he considered the depression to be an
act of God. He replied:
mo. DepreSsions aren't acts Of
God. just like wars, they are the
work OF a small group of men who
profit by them. What America needs
is to put the national finger on that
small group"
1t is odd to hear from Americas s
richest man and greatest industrialist
this simple explanation of the national
ills, familiar to us in the past through
long listening to the speeches of ex-
Senator Brookhart and present Sena-
tor Long and through conscientious
study of the editorial pages of some
of our contemporaries. Has the mind
of the great man broken under the
strain? Must he also have simplicity
of explanation at any cost?
Surely man with Ford's resources
and inside knowledge. if he feels that
way. should be able to point cut the
guilty. Let him do it and forever be
the Nations benefactor America
urges him. from the depths Of its
troubled heart. TO name the guilty-to
prescribe the correction 1t would
round out one of the greatest careers
in American history. It would put
him beside Washington and Lincoln
in the annals. With such opportuni-
ties at hand he should not be satisfied
with innuendoes.

Prefers Cars to Buses
On Connecticut Avenue

To the Editor OF The Star.
In a recent issue of The Star read
an article to the effect that the Capt.
tai Transit Co. will soon consider the
advisability of operating buSses in
stead Of cars on the Chevy Chase and
Wisconsin avenue lines.
Before this change is made, care
full consideration by men of expert
ence and good judgment should be
given to all the factors. The present
objection to the trolley poles on Con-
necticut avenue is greatly exagger-
ated. They divide the highway traffic
moving in different directions. and
have thus prevented numerous col
nsionS.
The street car is less hazardous to
life and limb than the bus. Safety
is one of the big factors in transpor-
talon of passengers, whether by rail,
bus or airplane. If the bus is installed
through passengers would be required
to transfer from car to bus, which
would be great inconvenience, es-
pecially during inclement weather
and rush hours.
I am inclined to think that the
traffic on Connecticut avenue is Of
sufficient volume to warrant the con-
tinuance of the present rail-line sys-
tenn. The street car is commodious,
well lighted and runs smoothly, thus
making it possible to read ones paper.
These are advantages over the bus.
If the facilities now in use are in
condition to warrant their continu-
ance in service, the purchase of new
buses would be an economic waste,
chargeable to the stockholders.

Relief Work Seriously
Hampered by Liquor

To the Editor Of The Star:
Tn our personal efforts to furnish
emplovment and aid to the many men
who have chanced to call at our door
for relief we have found a number
who possessed real talent in their line,
some of good education, and, alas,
many who were not dependable. But
the majority of the men turned out
to be habitual drinkers or drunkards.
OF course, with liquor so easily oo-
tainable, it is becoming more and
more impossible to keep men sober
long enough to clothe them and build
them up for any kind of start in life.
Most of them have wives in some part
of the world, but their families seem
to mean very little to them. A num-
Der of the wives are earning the daily
food, and paying the prison fines OF
their husbands. These in turn look
to the Welfare Society for sustenance,
and the people must bear this added
load. The youth are being ruined
and debauched, and children must
reap the heritage of an alcoholic par
entage.
1t is discouraging when one feels
inclined to do something for the men
who are wandering about the streets
that other forces are rapidly turning
the poor wretcheS into imbeciles,
picked Sots" and alcoholics Many
of the men are so habituated to the
use of tobacco and liquor that they
will sell their clothing to obtain
smokes and drinks.
There are very few citizens who
would not try to redeem and build
up much Of this human wreckage and
put forth every effort to find jobs for
the unemployed, If they could be as
sured of the cooperation of those who
control the output of intoxicants. The
number of men accosting people on
the streets for the price of a lunch"
has materially increased during the
past year, and staggering. drunken
men are met in increasing numbers
at any time of day or night. We re-
alize that we must work against great
odds. MRS. L. E. LAWSON.
