decision, one member Of the court

In his radio address Representative
Smell led up to his discussion Of in
fation by declaring that under the

try has progressed from an emer-
gency to crisis

went on, that governmental extrava-
gance would bring imitation. People
have said that We were crying wolff
wolff. Our Democratic friends are
now seeing him and hearing him.
They are now afraid Of this big bad
wolf they have unleAshed. They. too
are talking about imitation. They
have adopted many and are discuss
ing other governmental measures for
restraining it. All the advisers Of the
President are trying desperately to
find some way Of preventing price,
from going up through the roof. They
now want, as they express it, to put 9
ceiling to prices. In other words
they want to check that imitation
which their extravaganza has caused
They now join us Republicans in

that nobody can stop it.
Il want to say very seriously thai
we Republicans will cooperate with

age to stop it-and it must b<

Smell went on to say that, to tn,
practical man, imitation means price
going up faster than wages. He de-
clared history shows wages lag BE-

Congress would be back in session in

AS to various suggestions that
have been advanced for trimming the
other regular supply bills, McNary
declared he is 100 per cent against"
giving the administration discretion
airy authority to impound parts Of
appropriations. with leeway to release
them later. He said he would prefer
the plan proposed by Senator Byrnes
Democrat. of South Carolina for a
mandatory cut Of 10 per cent in the
total for each department, allow
ing the department head to determine
items best able to stand the cut.
This plan requires exemption from
the cut Of certain fixed charges,
such as rates Of compensation and in
terest on debt.
While there is some sentiment
in the House Subcommittee for the
billion-dollar relief limit, some Of
the leading House Democrats be-
lleve the House will sustain the
Presidents estimate. The cut to an
even billion is likely to muster greater
strength in the Senate, from present
indications, but in that branch also
there Is a substantial group Of the
opinion that at least the amount
asked for by the President is needed.

arabic From Local Welfare

Not since 1917 has major ma
ton declared war. Yet in the in
tervening years there have been
a number of far-reaehing, san
culinary conflicts. What might be
termed Mars modern technique
does not require formal declara-
ton of war-armies are mobiliz-
ed. soldiers and civilians are
slaughtered, cities are devastated
and governments change even
while, officially speaking, actual
war does not exist.
In Italy's Ethiopian campaign,
for example, war was not dec2ar-
ed-but the result of the inva-
sion was to eliminate the Ethio-
plan Monarchy and make the
country into an Italian colony
governed by the Italian Military.
Russia and France have not de-
clared war on the Spanish Insurg-
ents, nor have Germany and Italy
broken off relations with the
Spanish Government-yet it is no
secret that Frances cause has
been kept alive with the aid of
German and Italian troops and
equipment, while the Government
forces would have collapsed long
since had it not been for Russian
airplanes and ornaments and
French military experts. Today in
the Far East the world is again
witnessing a war without a dec
laration of war that is of the ut
most significance not only TO the
nations involved, but to the
Western World as well.
Japan has gone to the limit in
recent years to build up her army
and navy. For a small country,
she has an amazing military ma
chine, far superior to that Of the
Chinese-though China herself
has made progress in unifying
and strengthening the country.
China's greatst weakness has al
ways been the corruption of her
