able markets. Trade wars have an un-
happy tendency to generate other types
of trouble.
Against this background in Europe and
Asia, number of conclusions concern
ing policy apparently have been drawn.
One Of these conclusions is that the
United States should do whatever is pos
sible, short of direct alliance, to give
aid to those nations that are standing
against the military relationships. The
British and the French have weak spots
in their industrial organizations. The
United States should seek to remedy that
handicap. China lacks material to wage
effective war with Japan. Loans should
be offered that can be used to help
remedy that deficiency.
Another conclusion Is that Germany
and Italy and Japan all are highly vul-
nerable because Of their imperative need
for access to raw materials. From this it
stems that the United States can do most
damage to those nations by seeking in
one way or another to hamper them in
developing markets for their manufac-
tured goods. Thus there is new consid-
Grafton OF loans to South American ma
tions that will enable those nations to
buy goods inside the United States that
they might otherwise buy from Ger
many or Japan or Italy. Also, the United
States is refusing to enter into negotia-
tions for reciprocal trade agreements
with the Fascist states, and the conces-
sions made in existing trade agreements
are denied to Germany.
The idea is to use American economic
power In an attempt to starve out the
"have-not" powers.

Haussmann was named in his honor and,
he was elected to the French Academy
one Of the Forty Inmortals. However,.
1t still is said Of him, as sort Of epitaph,-
that he was the man who did more good,
and more harm to Paris than any one.
who ever lived.
His story recalls that Of Alexander
Shepherd, who was Governor Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia in the last century.
He determined to carry out of the origi-
nal plans Of Maj. LEnfant, the French
engineer who at President Washington's
order, had laid out the Federal City. The
plan had not been followed at all up to
Shepherds time. Houses and business
structures stood In the middle Of LEN.
fants avenues. His streets were pre-
empted by squatters, who used them FOL.
garden patches. The National Capital
was less than q sixth Of its present size
then.
BY exercise Of the condemnation power.
Gov. Shepherd condemned buildings
right and left and evicted squatters. He
dared not show himself in public lest he
be mobbed and he was hung in efigy on
Pennsylvania avenue. But he went ahead
with his plan. To be sure his was not
new plan, but merely a scheme to carry
out the original one Of L'Enfant. Never
theless, 1t meant drastic change. At
length the furore reached such intensity
that the Governor could not comfortably
live IN Washington as . private citizen.
But the following generation built q
monument to him, . statue which standa
IN one Of the city's most conspicuous
open spaces.

The story goes that a Negro wit
ness was on the stand testifying
in court concerning an accident.
The opposing attorney interrogated
the colored witness thus in an ef-
fort 10 draw from him his idea OF
an accident:
Suppose. Uncle Joshua. a man
tumbled from the 18th floor OF the
adjoining building 10 the ground.
and got up and walked away unas-
sisted. what would you call that?"
Uncle Joshua replied. Il would
call that miracle"
The attorney. seeking 10 corner

Suppose the man tuinbled from
the same 18th floor the second
day and walked away unassisted.
what would you call that"
The attorney. OF course. was ex-
pecting the answer 10 be "acci-
dent" whereupon Uncle Joshua
replied sharply. THAT would be a
coincident" The attorney. some

shot back at Uncle Joshua the very
abrupt question:
Uncle Joshua. suppose this
thing took place each day for a
week. and in each case the man
walked away unassisted. what in
The name OF high heavens would

Uncle Joshua. much TO the discom-
fort OF the attorney and more TO
the amusement OF the court.
Within very brief span OF
weeks the world has been startled
and saddened by three of the great
est submarine disasters on record.
The sinking OF the Squalus of the
United States navy brought great
sorrow and deep concern 10 the
nation. This sorrow was only re-
lieved bv the fact that the life-sav-
ing device worked admirably. thus
holding out hope for the future.
Within a very short time, British
submarine went down with all
hands on board with three or four
exceptions. Hardly had the world
reconcied itself to q second major
naval disaster when the French

and was complete loss and even

THE ROAD AHEAD
BY George Moriarty

Sometimes think the fates must
grin
As we denounce them and insist
The only reason We can't win
Is that the fates themselves, have
missed,
Yet. there lives on the ancient
claim:
We win or lose within ourselves.
The shining trophies on our shelves
Can never win tomorrow's same
So. YOU and ! know deeper down
There is a chance to win the crown
But when we fail TO give our hest.
We simply haven't met the test
or giving all and saving none
Until the game Is really won
or showing what is meant hy grit.
Of fighting when the others Quit.
OF playing through not letting np.
It's bearing down that wins the
cup.
OF taking Il. and taking more
Until We snatch The winning score.
or dreaming there's a goal ahead,
or hoping when our dreams are
dead

A PRAYER

Dear Jesus help me live upright.
And do what's pleasing in thy
sight.
BY trying 10 do whate'er ] can.
To aid and comfort my fellow man,
I do no, ask for riches or fame.
What would It profit II l should
gain
This world and then should lose
my soul
BY striving FOR some nefarious
goal.
But rather let my sojourn here.
In this old world with all IT'S fear,
BE spent in telling those You love
To seek thy heavenly home above.

Three Departments

Three Government departments
stood divided today on an omnibus
bill sponsored by Representative

which broad restrictions would be
imposed by the Federal Government
on aliens and on "subversive" groups.
The measure would declare it I'M
lawful to advocate overthrow of the
Government by force or violence. 1t
also would require the licensing of
civilian military organizations, de-
clare it unlawful to interfere with
the discipline of the Nations armed
forces, require the registration and
fingerprinting of aliens and make
mandatory the deportation of GRIM
inal aliens.
Complaining of the influence OF
agitators among enlisted men in the

ment appearing before House Judi

After being loudly cheered, Mr.

In a resume of recent European
events, Mr.. Chamberlain said they

Albania last week, he said: When we
come to examine the background of
the events, we are confronted with
divergence of testimony"
Mr.. Chamberlain, recalling Italian
contentious, said Rome claimed that
King Zog became hostile and they
utaly) must protect their interests"
He added: The Albanian Minis
ter reported to Lord Halifax soon
after the Italian invasion that the
Albanians had rejected an ulti-
matum delivered to them by Italy.
The Albanian Minister appealed to
the British government to do their
utmost in the aid of a small nation
which was desperately trying to de-
fend its own territory"
Rightly or wrongly, the stories OF
the oppression of Italians ct cetera
are regarded with doubt and sus-
spicion," Mr.. Chamberlain added.
Mr.. Chamberlain said, amid
cheers, that whatever their faith,
whether Christian or Moslem, it
must be apparent that a powerful
nation has imposed its will on a
small, relatively defenseless country
and has done SO by an imposing
show of armed force"

He disclosed that the British Am

had reminded the Italian govern

in acute form the whole question of
the status quo in the Mediter-

Mr.. Chamberlain added: "Once
