Real Enemies

livery nation of the world is
~ laboring under the terrific IL
fusion that it's enemies exist
across some geographical boun-
Diary. We do not slay our enc
mics when we STAY our broth
ers; we merely multiply them.
Hate, fear, ill-will, greed, ig-
norance, pride, racial and ma
tionalistic bigotry-these are the
real enemies of my country, and
your country, and every coun-
try.-Dr. Harold Phillips.
Success doesn't "happen." 1t is
organized, pre-empted, captured
by concentrated common sense

Vet, SO, Gives Up
GAR. Hall After
Six-Ddy Siege

KALAMAZOO, Mich, Dec. %
G.N.SO.-The Government today
held possession of the G. A. R.
hall here after a six-day siege
against a lone 89-year-old Civil war
veteran, Smith Carlton, who armed
himself with an old musket and
barricaded himself within the
building in protest against erection
Of new post office on the site.
Smith, who surrendered to au-
thorities was taken home by rela-
tives who brought his meals to
the building.
The veteran declared as he sur
rendered:
'I'm tired and weary and have
to give up now"
The hall will be dismantled in
February to make way for the new
post office.

200 MILLION
MORE SOUGHT
FOR DEFENSE

Shattering all peace-time rec
ords, total grants in excess Of one
billion dollars for War and Navy,
departments will be sought at the
Seventhy-fifth Congress converting
next week.
With the shadow Of war over
central Europe and the Far East,
preparedness blocs in House and
Senate will demand the allotmentS
as the best guarantee of preserv-
ing peace in the Americas. The
total is estimated at $500, 000, 600
in excess of last years appropr1a-
lions of nearly one billion.
This was disclosed yesterday by
congressional leaders as plans
were made for the opening of Con-
gress January 5.
Program Secret
The detailed legislative program
however, still remains a dark
White House secret. Although
the President has declined to show
his legislative hand these issues
will be brought into sharp focus
within the next month:
ONE-The problem of keeping
this country out of foreign wars
and disputes principally through
enactment of a clear-cut neu-
trality measure. Administra-
tive leaders will drive for legis-
lation giving the President a
free hand in embargoes on raw
materials and munitions.
TWO-The fight on relief appro-
priationS has come out into the
open, with many House leaders
backing Works Progress Admin
istrator Hopkins in his request
for $750,000,000 to carry on
until July /. Others want this
figure cut to $500,000,000.
THREE-The fight of organized
labor for legislation for a
shorter work week.
To Cut Budget
The budget for the fiscal year
1937-1938, it is said, will be much
nearer the balancing point, al
though President Roosevelt will
send it to Congress with many
gaps, later to be filled according
to needs"
William Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
John L. Lewis, chairman Of the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
cation, will lay aside their hoStili-
ties for combined support of the
O'Mahoney bill, a comprehensive
measure embodying almost all of
the detectives of organized labor.
Drafted by Senator O'Mahoney
Cd, of Wyoming, with the aid
Of. both Lewis and Green, the
measure seeks Federal incorpora-
ton of all business affected by In
terstate Commerce laws. Charters
would be issued only on condition
they abide by labor standards set
forth in the bill.
Guarantee to Labor
The measure would give labor
q Government-backed guarantee
to the right of collective bargain
ing, which, O'Mahoney believes,
would give labor sufficient solid
ity to press its own demands.
Wages would be paid on a basis
Of the corporations net profits.
Child labor also would be pro-
hibited.
In addition to a labor program
outlined by Green, Lewis and his
United Mine Workers will seek re-
enactment of the principles of the
Guffey coal bill which was scrap
ped this year by the Supreme
Court. Senator Guffey OO, of
Pennsylvania, has promised to
lead the battle for it's passage.

Birds Nest Soup Given
Another Definition

HONG KONG.-7Out Of a multitude
of conflicting opinions which arise
when reference is made to the delect-
able dish birds nest SOUP" comes q
statement that 1t Is not actually made
of birds nests"
Birds nest" is a gelatinous sub
stance found in and around the nests
of swallows on the rocky regions of
Indo- China and the South Sea Is
lands. The substance is derived from
fish and certain sea foods which the
birds carry to their nests as provision
for future use in the period of feather
shedding.
Some chemical change evidently
takes place while being carried by the
birds and during storage In their en-
vironment. When prepared for sour

now lag far behind foreign armies in
this important field. ...
During our Army maneuvers last
Summer at Pine Camp, N. Y, this
writer saw in a space no bigger than
a backyard our entire supply of mod
ern tanks-six! Russia and France
have 5000, Germany and Britain
nearly 1000, Japan 500. BY the time
of this Summers maneuvers in Michi-
gan and Kentucky, We shall have per-
haps 200 Of new model that is light

guarded from foreign spies who are
now active in this country.

We have none of the new amphib-
ian tanks that cross streams. but we
shall son have 900 tanks of all sorts,
including heavier ones mounting cam
non.
The Artillery will not lag behind.
New rubber-tired cannon can be
towed at high speed. and shoot farther,
over wider territory, than older types.
The number and headlines of new
weapons developed by ordnance ex-
perts here and abroad is, simply ap-
palling. But the supply on hand here
