AMERICA IS SEEN
ON FASC|SM ROAD
Lawrence Dennis, Town
Hall Speaker, Views the
New Deal.

America, chaperoned by the New
Deal, is on the road TO Fascism. This,
in substance, is what Lawrence Den
mis- told attendants at the Town Hall
last night in the Shoreham ball room.
The subject of Dennis speech was
SIS Fascism in the United States In
evitable?" He answered the question
in the affirmative.
Dennis, author of "Is Capitalism
Doomed?", could see no way out Of
the present Set-up lasting unless it
took on hue closely resembling Fas-
cism, though not the type of Fascism
they have in Italy.
Audience Not Aroused.
Since Mr.. Dennis had little sympathy
with the Communism of Russia, or
the National Socialism of Germany.
the large audience failed to arouse
itself as it had done on previous occa-
sions when heckling and kissing and
booing greeted other radical state
ments. Under Mr.. Dennis prediction.
only capital and labor would be disci-
plined-the wealthy would still retain
their wealth, the profit system would
be in order. and even rugged indi-
vidualism might have a chance to
sprout. There might even be freedom
of the press and speech. Only one
serious question was injected: What
about freedom of conscience? This
by George Brady. assistant admins
traitor of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration.
Alternative to Fascism.
As an alternative to his idea of
Fascism, Mr.. Dennis offered America
chaos. He said:
"The people don't know what's be-
ing done now. All they want Is a
handout. The country is being run
on dole, but the country can't be
run on this Santa Claus theory. We
must either return to the laissez faire
form of capitalism of pre-war days or
adopt this national plan through Gov
erment Intervention"

the first Pennsylvania train out Of the

ion Station at 10 o'clock this morning,
bound for Philadelphia.
Running as Extra 1900. the special,
made up Of parlor cars, carried q
large crowd, including a number Of
Government oficials.
Many Watch Start.
The start from Washington was
broadcast, while passengers hurrying
to and from other trains stopped to
watch the proceedings.
The selection of Secretary Ickes to
sound the signal which served as the
"All aboard" was an added touch, de-
cided upon at the last minute, and
the cabinet officer had good chance
to develop a cramp in his arm, as he
posed, hand on whistle cord, for eight
successive pictures.
Ickes, as public works admins
traitor, aided the Pennsylvania in the
s200, ,000, 900 electriflcation program,
Of which today's run was the climax.
In a brief radio talk Just before
the train pulled out, Vice President
Clement, one Of q number of Penn
sylvania Officials aboard, said that
Washington will shortly be 31z hours
by rail from New York, the COM
merce of the South but few hours
longer"
He hailed the electrification as one
of the outstanding achievements Of
w. w. Atterbury, Pennsylvania presi-
dent.
In charge of the train were veteran
trainmen. The crew included Con-
ductor Frank Thomas. 1913 E street

Wilmington, and Engineer Robert
Hughes, also of Wilmington, who, for
this occasion, went as fireman.
Walter A. Brooks, jr., Of Chevy
Chase, D. c., the Pullman conductor
who usually makes the presidential

cars.
The run to Baltimore, where Mary
land and city officials were to greet
the train, was made at mile a
minute.
Ickes was going only to Baltimore,
but Chairman Mary Norton of the
House District Committee planned to
make the round-trip.
Members of the I. c. c., headed
by Chairman Tate, we're also aboard.

A subcommittee of the Senate Ju-

to consider the question of granting
the District of Columbia representa-

for President and Vice President.
The subcommittee is headed by Sen
ator King, Democrat, Of Utah, who
also is chairman of the Senate Dis

are Senators McCarran, Democrat. OF
Nevada; Burke, Democrat of Ne
braska; Norris, Republican of Ne

Capper Sponsors Move.
Chairman Ashurst of the Judiciary
Committee appointed the subcommit-
tee at the regular weekly committee
meeting today. The joint resolution
for national representation is being
sponsored in the Senate by Senator
Capuer, Republican. of Kansas, for
mer chairman of the District Com
mittee.
The resolution proposes conStltu-
tional amendment under which Con-
gress would be given power to grant
to the people of the District repre-
sentation in the House, Senate and
Electoral College. The resolution
provides that when Congress shall
exercise this power the people of the
District would be entitled to elect one
or two Senators, as Congress may de-
termine, or such other Representa-
tives in the Senate as Congress may
provide for.
Population Would Govern.
Representation in the House would
be on the basis of population as de-
termined in the decennial census. The
District would have presidential elect
ors equal in number to its House and
Senate representation, or as Congress
may provide The resolution would
authorize the necessary legislation to
flx the qualifications of voters and the
time and manner of holding the elec-
tions.
Advocates Of national representa-
ton have pointed out that the pro-
posed constitutional amendment would
not interfere in any way with the
jurisdiction which the Federal Gov
eminent exercises over the seat of
Government, but would give the dis
franchised residents of Washington a
voice in presidential elections and in
the national law-making body.

ARMS MONOPOLY
BY j. s. OPPOSED
Dern Fears Manufacture OF
Munitions in Peace May
Be Unsafe.
BY the Associated Press.

.
Secretary Dern told the House Mill
tary Committee today it might be
detrimental to national defense" for
the Government to take over manu-
facture of all munitions in peace time
even though it probably would remove
many Objectionable features that may
have developed in connection with the
munition industry"
His views were expressed in pre-
pared statement giving whole-hearted
approval to efforts being made to pre-
vent profiteering in war time.
Holds Profits Unfair.
ITO permit any one to make an ex-
cessive profit out of the exigencies,
Dern said, "is unfair to the soldiers
in the front-line trenches, and also tc
the citizens at home, who. by their
thrift, work and sympathy. are sup
porting the group actually engaged ir
combat"
The Government, Dern said, should
control prices in wartime.
"The requirements Of war for raw
materials, fabricated products anc
services" he said, tend to cause 6
rise in price levels. Without control
price levels would soar to exaggerated
heights, hence there must be Govern
ment control of prices in war. This i!
necessary, not only to prevent unfail
and excessive profits by individuals ol
corporations. but also to hold doWr
the cost of war"
Urges Restraining Taxes.
Dern emphasized, however, that
price fixing alone could not accomplish
the desired result, but must be sup
plemented by reasonable and effective
procedure in letting contracts and by
excess profits tax laws.
The War Secretary contended "it
might prove suicidal to try to depend
upon Government owned plants
alone" In war time.
"The manufacture Of all munitions
In Government arsenals in time OF
peace" Dern said, probably would re-
move any Objectionable features that
may have developed in connection
with the munitions industry, but the
result might at the same time be
detrimental to national defense. In
time Of war, If history means anything
private industry, under civilian man
asement, but under suitable Govern
ment control, would still have to be
our main reliance"
