CAPPER OFFERS
PLAN TO OBTAIN.
DISTRICT VO 7 E.
Selling Congress Vital
Is KanSan'S View

IF Congress we're convinced
that the people of Washington
really wanted the vote, I think
It would carry weight"
Starting from this point, Sena.
tor Arthur Capper (RO, OF Kan
sas, ranking minority member of
the Senate District Committee and
long-standing friend of the Dis
trict of Columbia, outlined a plan
of action for WashingtonianS to-
day which, in his judgment, would
greatly strengthen the case for
the vote in Congress.
AIMS OF MEASURE
Its provisions include
/. Presentation of literally
signed petitions asking for the
vote.
2. EXPRESSIONS by citizens
associations and other repre-
sentative groups favoring it.
IF Congress was presented
with petitions signed by a ma
jority or even a substantial mi
nority of the citizens of the
District of Columbia asking
that they be given the vote" the
Senator said: Il think it
would be influenced to treat the
problem seriously, as it should
be treated, and do something
about it. Congress is always
susceptible to the influence Of
public opinion, and the submiS-
sion of petitions showing that
the people of Washington un.
ouestionably want the vote
would be as effective in pro-
noting this cause as anything I
know.
SIMPLE MATTER"
1T should be a simple matter
to get the petitions in circula-
ton and have them signed. The
citizens associations themselves
might readily undertake this
task. The petitions could be
circulated at their meetings, in
public gatherings or other sorts.
and additional signatures OBJ
tanned by a citywide canvass.
Resolutions favoring he
vote would also be effective if it
were apparent that they really
represented the sentiment of
large numbers of persons.
after that there would be
time enough to consider the
legislative steps to be taken in
extending the franchise to the
people of the District. The first
thing to do is to convince Con-
gress that Washingtonians want
the vote"

There Are No VictOrs in War

YOU come here and deliver message, admit
teddy couched in terms of clever deception,
calling the United States people to prepare to
enter an OFFENSIVE WAR. Has any nation
threatened to invade any part of this hemisphere?
Not that anyone has ever heard in the world as
yet. And until such threats of invasion are made
since when is it the duty of Americans to pre-
pare to engage again in a FOREIGN WAR, an
OFFENSIVE WAR in Europe or in Asia, as you
covertly suggest in your speech?
You are not realiSt enough to point out that
war for England today would destroy 100000
of your countrymen alone would break up the
British Empire and would turn England from the
democratic principles you claim so loudly that
you love into left Socialist nation. You are
not realist enough to point out that after the
next war Russia, Germany, France, Japan
will be Communist nations; that Italy will be on
the verge of likewise topping; that America will
emerge with form Of democratic" faScism.
Perhaps you do not know that the War De
partment told Mr.. Hoover seven years ago that it
would cost us $4,000, 100000 in DIRECT expenses
alone to win foreign war and that we are in
debt now $4,000 100000. What do you want,
Tony Eden? Initiation and ruin of all Ameri-
cans-so long as they rescue the British Empire?

IHLDER SPEEDS
PLAN TO CLEAR
D. c. OF SLUMS
Loan Contract Signed,
Surveys to Begin

The Alley Dwelling Authority
cleared the way today for an eight
million dollar slum clearance pro-
gram here by executing contract
for loan of $6,6O0,OO0 from the
United States Housing Authority.
Signed by John Ihlder, execu-
tive director of the ADA, the
loan contract was accompanied by
another agreement under which
the USHA is pledged to make
annual payments to ADA for
the purpose of reducing rents in
the four housing developments
which comprise the program.
SURVEYS TO START
The $6,6OO,OOO loan was ap'
proved two weeks ago by PreSi-
dent Roosevelt. All that remains,
ADA spokesman explained, is
final approval by the USHA Of the
contract and pledge by the Dis
trict Commissioners that they will
cooperate in the program.
The ADA said such cooperation
would entail elimination by demo
ition, closing or compulsory re-
pair, of sub-standard dwellings
equal to the number of contem-
plated new low-rent dwellings.
Ihlder said architects are now
preparing plans for the proposed
construction and surveys of sites
under consideration will be under
taken Immediately.
SITES NOT YET PICKED
No definite sites have been Sc
lected, it was learned, and loca-
lions suitable for the purpose
have not been revealed because Of
the possibility property owners
might seek to take advantage OF
the proposed development.
The rental scale for the pro
posed low-cost dwellings has not
been definitely decided, it was in
dictated. Nathan Straus, USHA
chairman, however, has supplied
grounds for a belief the local
rentals may be as low or lower
than those obtaining in similar
projects.
Execution Of the contract, it
was disclosed, has been delayed by
the difference of opinion on adj
ministrative policies between Ihl-
der and Straus. The rift hinged
on Ihlder'S insistence the project
should be self-supporting as
against the Straus theory such a
program would make rents toe
high for the class of people for
whom the dwellings were de,
signed.
