COURT IS PRAISED
FOR 'RESCU|NGU u.s.
G. 0. P. Must Win to Protect
.Capitalistic System,
varney Says. Us

Thanking mine brave, courageous
men on the Supreme Court" for q
breathing spell from Socialism,"
Harold Lord Varney, editor Of the
Awakener, yesterday predicted the
doom of the liberal capitalistic system
in America unless the Republican
party wins the next presidential elec-
ton.
The New York editor, addressing the
monthly meeting Of the League Of Re-
publican Women at the Mayfiower Ho-
tel, declared the real issue IN the
forthcoming campaign will be de-
narration between the radical and
conservative elements in the country.
"Party Must Win"
mot since 1854 has it been said of
the Republican party that 1t had to
win," he declared. I'VE have been
given a breathing spell by nine brave,
courageous men, but another four
years would deprive us of that protec-
ton. We must no longer depend on
them"
Stating at the beginning that he
was not an alarmiSt, Varney said con-
servatives far outnumber radicals in
this country, but the latter, working
under the guise Of liberalism, are diff
flcult to recognize.
Danger in IntelIectuals."
The real danger, he said. lies in
that great, nondescript intellectual
group-which includes lecturers, pas
tors, editors and educators-who have
accepted the belief that liberal capi-
talism is doomed and must be replaced
by some form of collectivism"
Giving his belief that President
Roosevelt was not originally a So
cialist," Varney described the Presi-
dent as "a man who found himself
clothed with awful power and made
the tragic mistake of surrounding him.
self with experimental minds"
Among those who are leading him
along a definitely Socialist program.
he said, are Hopkins. Tugwell. Ickes
and Wallace.

QUICK DELIVERY.

FROM the speeding line of cars on
their way to downtown offices,
one slick little coupe detached itself
and swerved toward the curb at the
summit Of the Thirteenth street hill
below Clifton northwest.
A policeman, without sign Of
recognition, stood quietly on the cor
ner in the path Of the car. AS it
came abreast Of him, he suddenly
turned facing it. put out his gloved
left hand at right angles to his body.
At the same moment a similarly
gloved hand was thrust through a
half-opened window in the car. It
clutched package wrapped in brown
paper.
The policeman grasped it and the
impact spun him half around. The car
never stopped, curved back into the
flow of traffic

The policeman placed the package
on the corner stone coping around

expand on Morgenthau's statement.
Morgenthau had nothing to say about
recent reports in French financial
circles that the Treasury sought to
avoid an outflow of gold through the
operations of its $4,000 100000 sta
bilization fund
The shipments licensed yesterday
are being made by four banks. Three
are sending $5,240. 900 to France and
one is forwarding $3.50 to Holland.
The Nation, Treasury experts said,
could meet any prospective demand
without strain to the credit of none
tary structure. Others raised the
question whether the psychological eff
feet OF continued outflow would be
helpful to huge Treasury financing
that lies ahead. They contended the
Treasury might not welcome such
movement.
Liquid Foreign Capital.
Informed sources understand that
there is from $500 0,000, 900 to 81 1,0o0,-
100000 of liquid foreign capital in
New York. This is subject to imme-
diate withdrawal, and thus could re-
suit in an outflow of some proportions.
Monetary factors played a part in
the American accumulation of gold.
just as they are now said to be in
fiuencing the reverse movement. Since
1884, the net inflow to the United
States has been $1,000 ,00O,0 600. One
reason for it was a flight of foreign
money in fear of currency devaluation
in France and Holland. Both nations,
however, held out against devaluation,

TAX TRAGEDY,


IT IS not the sales tax itself that
is worrying some of the Mary
land merchants, but the method OF
making returns.
One retailer had to make a special
return to the Tax Commission on
tobacco. When he figured the amount
due, it was 2 cents.
As he filled out the tax return
blank, he found 1t was necessary to
have . notary public seal in two
places and that the returns had to
be sent by money order.
Altogether it cost the merchant SO
cents for notary fees, cents for q
money order and cents for a stamp, q

officials of Washington Airport In
July, 1884, installed traffic control
lights on Military road on their own
responsibility. Their right was ques-
toned by the War Department after
an Army truck narrowly avoided col
lision with an air transport plane, but
the lights were continued in operation.
A year later, on last July Z, at the
insistence Of the Department of Com

was taken on his own responsibility,

eve now understand" Solomon said
in his letter today to Secretary Roper,
that the Secretary of War has COM
municated with the Attorney General
of the United States requesting him
to take appropriate action against
this corporation for the unauthorized
Use Of Military road. -
THE publicity given to the alleged
unauthorized operation Of the trafic
lights and the maintenance of the
guard patrol has caused numerous
motorists to disregard both the red
danger light and the siren as we'll as
the traffic guard. In several instances,
our guards have had very narrow
escapes from being run down by auto
mobile drivers wilfully disregarding
their own safety and that of travellers
by air. We feel that their effective
ness has been considerably lessened.
Therefore, it is the decision of this
corporation that, effective at pm
on Saturday, February Is, 1896, this
corporation will withdraw the traffic

guard the traffic along Military road
The War Department. in its state

War Departments Stand.
"A runway for landing and taking
off Of large transport planes was ex-
tended across the road, and planes
when using this runway cross the read
at low attitudes and in some instances
on the ground" it was stated. This
unauthorized use of a public highway
by the airport company has been re-
garded as potentially endangering the
lives Of crews and passengers of air
planes and Of persons proceeding along
the road.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
dangerous condition results entirely
from the unauthorized use Of the road
by the airport, protests are frequently
made to the War Department, with the
request that remedial action be taken
Several remedies have been considered
by the War Department, including the
closing Of the road and the exercise ol
trafic control during the landing anc
taking off Of airplanes.
The War Department explained
that, in view Of the development OF
the Arlington Memorial Bridge and
new roads on the Virginia side of the
river, it now considers Military road
no longer essential to its needs
