Nationalists are turning more and
more anti-Fascist. They do not see
their lot bettered at all by freeing
themselves from one foreign yoke
only to put on a new and probably
more repressive one. Bechir AS
Sa'daoui, Tripolitan Arab leader,
recently indicted publicly the policy
of Fascist Italy toward the Arabs,
and warned them not to be deceived
by the Establishments and radio pro-
paganda of Mussolini. Syrian Arabic
papers publish strong attacks on
Faseism and its aims in the East.
Libyan Arabs have not forgotten
the tortures their leaders suffered at
the hands of the Italians, such as be-
ing taken up in planes and dropped
to earth from great heights.
Meanwhile a Round Table discus
sion on the Arab question will be
held i'm London the third week of
January. Six leading Arabs will at
tend, including delegates from Iraq
and Syria. AS n preliminary to the
conference, British and French lead
ers are now reported 10 be discussing
new policy for a continuation of
the Pan-Arab movement throughout
the Near East. This will tend TO
placate Arab leaders and at the same
time stop the German and Italian
Attempts at enerOachment ON the
Arab world.
Jews Hit Back
Mussolini's anti-Semetic legislation
has also proven boomerang i'm
Egypt, with the result that British
influence has greatly increased, al
though King FarOuk is known to ad-
mire Rome rather than London (his
father, King Fuad, when a penniless
prince without a future, went to an
Italian military SCHOOL,. Important
to the Fascist program of boring
within Egypt are the richest men,
bers of the Italian colony in Cairo
and AleXandTia-the bankers, law
yers and business men. And they
are all Jews. Prevented by the new
Italian law from sending their chill

"LITTLE MAN, WHAT NOWr

In an editorial aptly entitled, Lit
tie Man, What Now?" the Oklahoman
says: 1T has been said by those who
figure out such statistics that if the
United States were TO pay as it goes,
our taxes would now be the highest
in the world, which makes it rather
cold comfort to remind ourselves
that taxes i'm England are now higher
than they ostensibly are in the United
States.
True to the old saying, there is
one thing beside death that's sure,
and that's liberal taxes. Little man
land that means most of us), you'll
pay until it hurts.
You'll pay more, proportionately,
than the rich man. The liberal tax
eaters are hungrily sizing you up.
Liberal bureaucracy is growing every
minute. The liberals are going to get
you, even if you do watch out"
Estimates vary as to just how
much taXes-most of them of the
hidden" or invisible" Variety-are
paid by the average little man. But
most authorities agree that they
W lldn VI
cry cent he earns. That means that
you work one day out of five for gov
ernment. 1t means that of every
dollar you spend, more than twenty
cents finds its way into the hands
of the tax collector. 1t means a
lower standard of living for your
self and your family. And you are
having only mart of the bill-the rest
is yet to come.
The little man has far more to
gain from economical government
than the big man. The hidden taxes
that are an inescapable part of what
you pay for loaf of bread, a theatre
ticket or a suit of clothes, are inf
nitely more important to $20-a-
week clerk than to a 20,000-a-year
executive. AS the 0klahoman points
out, the "little man" is getting his
now-and he'll get still worse IL he
doesn't make his protests felt.

RADIANT LIVING
GREATER THAN CONQUERER
BY Rev. C. M. Griffeth
Methodist Pastor of
Deals Island, Md.

Out of that mine of human wis
dom, the Book of Proverbs, there
comes to us a nugget of pure gold in
the statement which reads: ''He that
is slow to anger is better than the
mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit
than he that taketh a city"
By this method of contrast the
Sage is giving expression TO the
fact that the man who can capture
his inmost self and bring it under
control is a far greater man than a
military genius.
We may think of Caesar daringly
crossing the Rubicon, or of Titus lay
ing siege TO the ancient city of Jeru-
salem, or of Richard the LiOnhearted
capturing the city of Acre in the ro-
mantle days of the Crusaders.
These men were great in genius,
great in ability. great in achieve
ment. But the inspired Sage of
Scriptures declares that the man who
can capture his inmOst self with all
its wild forces and violent powers,
such as anger. is by far a greater
man than a cOnquerer of earthly
cities.
There was Alexander the Great.
for instance. Coming TO his fathers
throne in SS2 b. c. at the age of 20.
he set forth with an army that in
thirteen years captured half the
world and changed the course of
history.
Notwithstanding this vast conquest,
there was just a very small part
which he could not conquer and
which finally conquered him.
Alexander the Great conquered the
world. but he could not conquer him
self.
At the early age of 80 he was
brought to tragic end by fever
which was the result of excessive

Builder Licenses
Urged by 0ehmann

A license as we'll as a building
permit would be required of each
builder before construction prof.
ect could be started in the District,
under a proposal submitted to the
commissioners by Col. John w.
Oehmann, inspector of buildings, of.
flcials revealed yesterday
Building construction in the Dis
trict during the past fiscal year had
total value of S42,517 1872, not in
cluding Federal projects. according
to tabulations just completed by
Col. Oehmann. This figure repre-.
sented an increase of more than
81 per cent over the 1888 fiscal year.
More than s23,0OO,OOO was in resi-
dental construction, with dwelling
construction we'll ahead of apart
ments.
Col. Oehman reported that dur
ing recent years there had been
hundreds of cases in which a build
er had violated the terms of his
building permit, in one way or an
other, or had done work without a
permit. Under the present prac-
tice, he said, the only recourse the
District had was against the prop
erty owner. and not the builder. in
case the two were not the same
party.
Had the builders in question
been licensed, we could have sus-
pended their licenses and refused
to issue further permits to them
until illegal conditions had been
rectifled," he said. He recommend
ed that some immediate action be
taken,

A.F.l. Warns Against
Premature Action
To Mediate War
Peuce Held Worthy
Aim if Brouched
Without Embarrassment
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 1.-THE Amer
lean Federation of Labor warned
today against premature" inter-
vention of the United States as
mediator in the European war.
Although A. F. L. President Will
liam Green has taken the position
this Nations primary function in
world affairs should be initiation
of peace moves as early as possible,
the policy making Resolutions Com
mittee asserted in a report adopted
by the federation's convention:
ITO tender such an offer prema-
turely might not only involve us
in an embarrassing situation but In
addition might well prove without
successful results"
The Federation adopted as its
omcial policy a stand against United
States involvement and the use of
American armed forces for any pur-
pose except defense of the Nations
shores against invaders. At the
same time, it re-emphasized its de-
mand for a voice for labor on war
boards and emergency agencies.
Referring in general terms to ma
tional consideration of neutrality
policy, the committee said:
Already policies are being advo-
Gated which, on the surface, seem
to be neutral and fully Justified, but
which, If approved, would lead our
Nation to take those first steps
which, when taken, would Of neces-
sity lead to others, which in turn
would so commit our national policy
as to irresistibly and irretrievably
force us into war"
The Federation previously went
on record in Overwhelming support
of campaign to revise the Wagner
Act and to place its administration
in new five-man labor board.
A thunderous voice vote overcame
the opposition Of q small minority
at the A. r. of LIS seth convention
yesterday, and reafirmed the cam
paign launched by the Federation
in the last Congress for sweeping
changes in the act, its quasi judicial
board and administrative personnel.
Along with winning q fresh man
date for the amendment campaign,
the Federation leadership singled
out Board Member Edwin s. Smith
for particular opposition should his
name be offered to the Senate for
reappointment.
In the last session Of Congress
the A. F. L. organized opposition to
Senate confirmation Of Donald W.,
Smith, who was reappointed to the
board over Federation protests. His
name finally was withdrawn and DR..
william n. Leiserson's substituted.

Museum Expansion
Along East Capitol
Street Considered
Series of Small Units
Discussed by Abbot
And Roosevelt

Enlargement of Washineton's ex-
hibition facilities sufficiently to per-
NIT deserving display of the many
excellent collections of books and
varied articles already owned by the
government is contemplated just as
soon as budgetary requirements will
allow the appropriation of necessary
funds, according to President Roose-
welt.
Revealing at his press conference
late yesterday that he had discussed
the whole project with DR.. Charles
G. Abbot, secretary of the Smith
sonian Institution. the President in
dicated that the plan bearing tenta-
tive approval at this time is for the
construction of a series of relatively
small museum buildings in the East
Capitol street area.
Such development, he explained,
already has been accorded the favor
Of the National Capital Parks and
Planning Commission.
Citing merely at random some of
the collections which are worthy of
special display in new quarters, Mr..
Roosevelt mentioned the medical
library owned by the War Depart
ment and the American Indian ex-
hibition now on view lin 1870 man.
ner' in the National Museum. He
indicated that the Army library
probably would come first in trans
lating the plan into actuality since
Congress already has given tenta-
tive approval to the idea of pro-
viding new quarters for this collec-
ton but never has made the money
available.
