 Ut is not beyond imagination that in the event that Germany had won the World War we might have had to defend ourselves against Germany and some other power. We are not in any particular danger while war is going on since the other nations are busy with one an- other.
 "A complete victory would destroy the balance of power, however, and the victor's power is tremendously increased. We would have no allies and therefore we naturally would be in danger from such a victorious group of governments.
 "If and when such a condition transpired, it would be too late to try and prepare for defense"

 Special Meeting
 A special meeting of the board of police commissioners will be held at 4 o'clock in the office of Mayor Frank Hayes to consider numerous changes and appointments in the department. While no action is ex- pected to result at the preliminary meeting today, the signs are that within the next few regular meet ings appointments will be made promotions and retirements voted upon.
 It was noted that there is pro- vision for a number of appoint ments to the regular force in the present years budget. The appro- priations indicate that the changes may approximate those made in the fire department, although the num- Der of new appointees, 27 in the fire department, probably will not be equaled.
 Consideration of changes and re- tirements have been withheld until this time while the changes in the fire department were made. Now the list will be under definite scrutiny for the purpose of making such changes and today's meeting will be the start of the reorganization.

 A question of interpretation of the treaty rose once before when the anti Jewish Nuremberg" laws cur tailed the rights of Jews to engage in certain occupations. Protests were filed then in individual cases. The question now to be considered was whether the new decree offered grounds for a blanket protest from the United States.

DERRY SAYS REDS

Radicals Organization of Auto
Workers Gave Communists
Wedge, He Asserts.

Communism may result in the
downfall OF the Committee for In
dustrial Organization. though its
head. John L. Lewis. is not himself
Communist. DR.. George Hermann
Derry. Detroit educator and lecturer
asserted last night in an address at
Gonzaga College
DR.. Derry stated that the work OF
radicals In organizing automobile
workers for the c. I. o. gave Com
munism q wedge in industrial labor
for spreading its doctrines. His ad-
dress was sponsored by the Knights of
Columbus State Council
The speaker declared Russia today
is not operating on the original princi-
piles of Communism, but is actually
the greatest capitalistic snd monopo-
listic state in the world, in which the
worker has no chance to realize his
ambitions and practically no op-
portunity."
In Russia" he asserted. "the work.
er is the original forgotten man. The
only people making any money at all
are the bureaucrats and government
jobholders"
He charged Communists in Spain
with the slaughter Of thousands of
priests and nuns at the outset of the
civil war.
Earlier yesterday DIR. Derry spoke
before more than 500 seminarians
gathered at Catholic University. He
was entertained at luncheon by Dam
lei J. Callahan, supreme treasurer Of

Attack New York Theater Firms
Attitude Toward D. c.
An attack on New York theater COM
panies, which don't care what they
shove down the throats of Washing
tonians," was made by DR.. John F, B.
Carruthers in a vespers service sermon
yesterday as preface to letter sent
to United States Attorney David A.
Pine, specifically criticizing the re-
showing of Tobacco Road" here.
The letter was signed by DR.. Car
ruthers. who is chaplain of the Ma
tional Open Parish and visiting minis
ter at Covenant-First Presbyterian
Church. and DR.. Albert j. Mccartney,
rector of the church and chairman of
the Committee on Religious Life in
the Nations Capital
1t was explained that the protest
had not been made public before, be-
cause we are not anxious to increase
the box Office receipts by attacking
such a play as Tobacco Road and
We are quite aware that anything that
We might say could be used for that
purpose"
DR.. Carruthers said in his sermon
that he did not blame the local thea
ters where Objectionable shows are
performed. but the absentee manage
ment which sends such shows to
Washington.
The letter claimed that in Tobacco
Road" the history and 'mores' of the
so-called sharecroppers and white
trash are not presented in . balanced
way"
