Denying that America Is endang-
cred by the relationships, Repre-
sentative Ralph o. Brewster, Re.
publican, Of Maine asserted yester-
day that America has a mission in
civilization other than the preserva-
ton of the British Empire.
Speaking on War or Peace" be-
fore the Political Study Club at the
Washington Club. Representative
Brewster said that Americas first
duty is to solve its problems at home
before launching in a crusade to
save the world"
There would be no need for con-
Germ in the United States" he de-
clared, If we decide first to spare no
effort " intelligently maintaining
an adequate defense force, hold fast
against efforts to involve us in for
eign troubles, and make 1t plain to
all concerned that we will fight
quicker than wink II our vital in
terests are disregarded
The speaker asserted that when
the British come to the United
States to ask for aid in their present
foreign affairs. they are hypocriti-
cally asking us to forget everything
In their history"
Sees Distorted Picture
He further expressed the opinion
that the British are not in as much
danger as they say they are and
said it is an extremely distorted
picture" to believe that a trium-
phant Japan, Germany and Italy
will soon be knocking at our doors
upon the PROSTATE forms Of Great
Britain, France and Russia.
The relationships possess per-
haps per cent of the earth's
resources" he declared, with which
it is suggested that they may seize
the remaining IS per cent. They
possess approximately 7 per cent
Of the population of the globe
with which to dominate the other
SO per cent" Furthermore, he stated,
the geography of the relationships
violates every military requirement.
Describing it as passing curious"
that, while everyone seems to agree
that this country should adhere
more strongly than ever to the Mon

Lays Claim to Several
'Firsts' Among Fraternities.
AS Columbia Alpha chapter has a
number of 'firsts" to its credit, its
story is of more than usual interest
The fact that its history is linked
so closely with the history of George
Washington University also makes
1t valuable document.
1.-The first fraternity for women to be
Established at Columbian University
now George Washington University,
Columbia Alpha chapter is also said
to be the first in the East. Need
less to say, this makes it the first
women's fraternity to be established
In Washington. Moreover, Pi Beta
Phi claims the distinction of being
the first Woman's national fraternity
to be established in the United
States-the organization having been
founded in 1867 in Illinois.
The names Of the five charter
members, who met with the founder,
Miss Emma Harper Turner, now
living in California, are recorded in
ane handwriting in book of min
utes from which Miss Lutz obtained
much of the early history.
The same handwriting also re-
corded the memorial of Alpha
chapter" adopted July 6, 1889,
Which gives splendid picture of
the otjectives of the group of young
women who were pioneering in the
dsld of fraternities as well as edu-
cation for women. The memorial,
which recognizes "the benefits
that must come to each from sin
cere friendships with women of con-
genial spirits and lofty ideals" con-
tinues in part:
Looking beyond ourselves, we
flnd in Columbian University an
institute of learning opening her
doors to women, but which does
not grant them all the privileges
Of college life granted to men.
We believe that every institution
eof learning should grant women
the same opportunity as men and
. that we owe it as a duty to woman
hood to do all in our power to
tear down the barriers that now
bar women from any line Of study
they may desire to follow.
I'VE believe 1t to be peculiarly
desirable that Washington, the Ma
tional Capital, should offer to
women the same opportunity for
study that she does to men. To
this end we hope to work, and to
work in that dignified yet earnest
manner that reveals womanhood In
its best light, and everywhere and
at all times commands for it the
respect that is its due"
Founder of Chapter
Later Grand President.
The founder of the chapter, who
was Pi Beta Phi when she organ
Evening star., 1939-04-16

lied the group, later became its
grand president. It is interesting
to note that she, as well as the
charter members. was present when
the chapter celebrated its anniver-
sary several years ago, though such
reunion will not be possible this
year.
The charter members were Au-
gusta M. Pettigrew, now Mrs. D. K.
Shute; Miss Lille S. Hazelton, Miss
Anna S. Hazelton. Mrs. Sallie Sparks
Eggleston and Dr. Phebe Norris.
One of the highlights of the chap
ter's history included an account of
the Eastern conference of Pi Beta
Phi held in Washington in 1924. AS
Mrs. Calvin Coolidge, a Pi Beta Phi,
was then in the White House, the
fraternity raised money to buy the
well-known Howard Chandler Chris
ty portrait Of her hanging there
now. The presentation took place
IN the east room, it was reported,
with "Pi Phis there 1900 strong!"
The first mention Of cookie
Shines" well known form of
entertainment to Pi Phis, is re-
corded in connection with the in
stallation of an alumnae organi-
zation here in 1900. The custom of
serving hot luncheon in the chapter
rooms, still a tradition, was es-
tabhshed early and gave opportun-
ity for informal social hours which
did much to compensate for alb
sence of dormitory life at George
Washington" it was stated.
The chapters efforts for estab-
ishment of Panhellenic here, it's
work for the Pi Beta Phi Settle
ment School at Gatlinburg, Tenn,
and numerous other activities also
are recorded In the new history.
The World War period is described,
when chapter members assisted the
alumnae with their "Pi Phi hostess
house" and also contributed in the
sale of liberty bonds.
Smoking was listed as social
problem in 1929 when the minutes
listed the places in Washington
where girls in the fraternity were
not allowed the smoke.

BUSINESS REPORTED
THE BEST SINCE 1929
Trade Winds" Thinks
Production is Expand
ing Too Fast

The following business review
is given by the Maryland Trust
Company of Baltimore in its De
cember letter, Trade Trends:
The volume of business in the
fourth quarter will be the best
since 1929 in most lines, according
to the prediction Of economists
and all-time records undoubtedly
are being made in a few cases.
The increase that has occurred
since Labor Day is the sharpest
ever experienced in so short a
period and it has been superimpos-
ed on a moderate rate Of recov-
cry which started in late spring
Increased activity, however, has
been almost entirely in the dur
able goods lines. Since May, pro-
duction of durable goods has ex-
banded 70 per cent. Most of this
has been due to the remarkable
rise in iron and steel output and
in other heavy goods production,
such as machine tools, railroad
equipment, airplanes and products
of this nature.
The question which now needs
answering, is whether the expan-
sion in output in these fields has
been greater than might be justi-
fled by the demand for goods of
this sort that is likely to develop
in the near future No one knows
what the ultimate war demands
on our economy are likely to be
1t appears, however, that for the
immediate future any increased
demand for goods such as air
planes, machine tools and other
war supplies, will be offset by de-
creased buying Of goods formerly
exported in large volume so that
the net stimulating effect of war
on our economy might be consid-
erably overestimated at the pres
ent time.
Manufacturers inventories prob
ably are not yet increasing to any
extent. The test will come how
ever, when the finished goods,
both durable and non-durable
which are being made from the
raw materials bought in such
large volume in early fall, are
ready for final distribution. Will
they be sold and consumed fast
enough to prevent downward
movement in industrial activity in
the period ahead?
One Of the most conclusive rea-
sons for thinking that production
