Her acid-stained lips are sealed
by death, or they would cry out
against the shame of a law which
permits the loan companies to
charge and charge and charge,
once they have victim in their
debt.
Yes, Martha took "the easiest
way out" Perhaps it isn't so
easy after all. But perhaps some
Higher Power will understand and
forgive.
The story of Martha can be
found in the files of the police de-
partment. Down in the files there
was an envelope with her name
and the date Of her death.
The Washington times., 1939-01-17
BY CARROLL PEEKE
Article II

Martha is dead.
Her death, in way, was a bless
ing in disguise. For Martha wasn't
a nice girl. In fact, Martha was
an extremely bad girl, girl of the
underworld.
But you can't blame Martha for
what she was. You can blame the
combined force of circumstance
and the genial, smiling man who
was perfectly willing to make the
loan she needed so badly-at the
simple rate of AZ per cent interest.
Found Out Later
Martha killed herself because
she found out LATER that she
hadn't borrowed $500 at all-but,
although she signed papers with
a great big "$30O" all over them
she found she had to pay $426
besides penalties" fines" and
"premiums"-and that morning,
noon and night, she was bounded
by letter-by personal calls-by
telephones in the midst of her
work-threatened, intimidated-
prosecuted. She couldn't take it!
She killed herself rather than live
the double hell which her down
fall and the money lenders who
caused it had made for her.
OF course, Martha didn't realize
what she was running into when
she walked into that glittering Of
flee and falteringly told the story
of her urgent need for money.
Unmarked GrQUe
If Martha could have looked
into the future, she would have
summed that doorway like the
plague. But then, second-sight is
something that unfortunately we
are not given.
Today Martha lies in an un-

troversy, to the ultimate injury Of the national
defense.
AS it stands, this is no "hemiSpheredefense"
program. It will probably win support at the
Capitol in its present form that it could not have
commanded under a suspicion that it was de-
signed to make the United States the policeman
Of the two Western continents.
STILL as one of the high authorities who had
q hand in it's making safely remarked:
"Just because issue invitations to one dinner,
it is no sign that do not intend to give whole
series of dinners"
In short, this program is starter. There is
more in reserve to be submitted when the time
seems appropriate.

hood out on a farm in the middle
west, where the corn grows tall.
Martha was devoted to her
mother. Her father was a taci-
turn man, engaged in battling
nature to make a living for his
family. 1t was a hard life, and
he was a hard man.
But Martha's mother was a
grand person, kind, sympathetic,
living. And she wanted some
thing better for her daughter than
a life such as she had. working
hard, bearing children, knowing
nothing of the better, finer things
of life.
Then came the thrill of high
school. and although it was a
struggle, she managed to get
through the four long years, and
again she stood on the platform
and received her diploma as the
honor student of her class.
College was out of the question,
SO the next thing was to find a
job. And because of her high
standing in school, she obtained
that job with the Government
here in Washington.
The next few years marked the
transformation of Martha, from
a country girl into a smart young
business woman.
Martha was a canny girl. She

WHAT strikes me as food for thought-as 1t
must most visitors-is the apparent avail
ability of the White House and it's grounds to
casual providers. No sign of soldier or marine
parading up and down-at least not when I
passed by at 10 o'clock at highland only an
occasional policeman or uniformed guard. It is
undoubtedly true that at the first alarm the
place probably would swarm with Secret Service
men and that out of underground tunnels and
hideaways protective guards would pop-although
have no assurance that they would. It is some

Essential Features

THE three essential features of the plan are the
- provisions for the greater defense of the
Panama Canal, the completion of the Wilcox
law program for Pacific bases in Alaska and
Hawaii. and the provision for new air base in
Puerto Rico for the defense of the eastern ap-
proach to the canal. This will take new legis-
lation.
New legislation also will be required to expand

way to save her failing sight would
be an operation. And an opera
ton would cost $500.
Martha had about 5000 in the
bank. Not enough. But she re-
membered that she had seen an
advertisement of loans, cheerfully
made.
And as she listened that night
to her radio she heard an invita-
ton to come out to Maryland or
Virginia, just over the District
line, and borrow money.
Yes, Martha went. Smart in her
furs, she was welcomed. She
needed $500. And they were so
glad to make the loan to her.
Off home went the draft for
$500. And the first few install
ments Of the loan were repaid.
Then Martha couldn't meet the
next one on time and the genial
gentleman back Of the grille lost
his smile and told her that it
must be paid-or else.
She scraped up the money,
only to find that they had i'm
posed a penalty on her for being
late with the payment. And Mar
tha's slender budget system went
to pieces about that time.
She sold some of her furniture
and she pawned her watch.
Worry preyed on her mind so
much that she made a serious
error and lost her job.
Well, the rest Of the, story is
sordid, but short. Martha slid to
the bottom of social ladder. This
girl became a painted creature OF
the night life.
What led her to take the final
step, no one will ever know. But
they found Martha dead, and
they found the note that out
lined the story just related.
What Would She Say?
Martha. cold in her grave, had
never heard OF the Russell Sage
Foundation, which made a survey
and set as a recommended rate Of
interest 31a per cent a month
which figures out about AZ per
cent a year.
The foundation, endowed by the
millions left by Sage, made its re-
port and based on this report some
"a States drew up small loan"
laws setting this rate of interest.
Theorists of the foundation held
that such interest would be equita-
BILE to the borrower and lender
alike.
What do you suppose Martha
would say to that?

law, although the total enlisted strength of the
Army is not up to the limitation fixed by statute
A controversy is now in progress inside over the
question of the increased ground force. Military
opinion is divided, but an increase of 10000 men
is deemed minimum.
The program was evolved not without acri-
monious debate which ragged within the inner
circle for more than a week. This is why the
Presidents message was delayed a week beyond
the time it was intended to present it.
It is by no means perfect, but it does represent
a large measure of victory for the experts.
The plan is deficient in that it does not make
sufficient provision for ground forces for harbor
defenses and for antiaircraft defenses, particu-
larly on the Pacific Coast.

Should Summon Experts

SnOUI0 Summon experts
IT NOW becomes the plain duty of Congress to
L summon the military experts to give their
free and uncensored testimony.
There are rumors that the military authorities
may be muzzled and the bill or bills rushed
through without adequate criticism.
The weaknesses in the Presidents program
should be thoroughly exposed by those who are
competent to pass judgment upon it.
With regard to the training Of the new pilots.
this should be given to the Army and taken out
of the hands of the politicians.
There will be a strong sentiment for this in
Congress.
AL in all, good deal has been accomplished
for the national defense during the hectic week
preceding the Presidents message.
While the magnificent "hemisphere-defense"
idea has been relegated to the background, it is
clear that a mobile expeditionary force should be
created; for instance, service in the Canal Zone
or elsewhere in time of emergency.
If the experts are permitted to remedy the
defects in the plan it should prove Of real value
to the nations defenseS.
