The Allies Also
Like he Idea

The Germans have been ae
cused Of looking for 4 battle
ground outside Of their own
territory. They were charged
during the late World war,
with stepping the war because
fighting was about to reach
their soil. Their aversion 70
disrupting their own country
IS reoarded as one 81 the mo
tiyating reasons for opening Il
full war on scandinavian
fields.
In part this may be true.
Scandinavia is Just far enough
from Germany to keep the
soldiers Of foreign countries
off Of Germany soil for a long
time. But. does German sinis-
terness in this instance free the
Allies? So quickly have they
accepted the opportunity to
tear up Norway that one
would wonder whether they
too awaited a chance to fight
in other peoples yards. Sure
ly they must know that their
presence in Norway means de
struction to the cities and vii

PENNSYLV LVANJA RR CHARGE
DIME-ABAG RATE FOR REDCAPS
New System To Comply With Federal
Wage Scale Of Thirty Cents an Hour

NEW YORK iC) The Pennsyl-
vaniaRailroad has at last worked out
a plan its executives hope will solve
the problems of the redcaps working
for the system, meet with the APP
rroval Of the United Transport Em-
ployees Of America, the Redcaps'
union, and comply with the require
ments of the Federal Wage and
Hour Act
The new system which the Pennsy
expects to put into eeect within the
next thirty days calls for fiat rate
lof 10 cents for each ricce oil lug
gage handled by a rcdcap. He then
has to turn his collection into the
office, and the company will p; y
him weekly salary that will come
under the 30-cents-an-hour wage
fixed by the Federal Wage and Hour
law Any amount above the To-
cents rate given 10 him, he does not
have to account for.
Under the present system, redcaps
have to rely entirely upon the tips
they make. They do. hnwever. have
70 make report to the Office en-
the amount of money made each
day. The ruling of the company
compells each redcap to make an av-
erage Of $2.d0 a day III NOT, tie
usual thing is for the men to explain
why If a satisfactory answer is not
given, the company then explains
that any man who has been on the
job any length Of time should be
able to average the required amount.
If he can't then that is not the place
for him.
The problem Of harmonizing the
tipping system now in operation at
the Pennsylvania Station with the
minimum wage re luirements has
been the stumbling block between
the union and the company for sew
eral months. The company main
tanned that the tips should be unit
ed as part Of the mems wages, and

sure-our present standard Of living
can be maintained without foreign

U. 8. Will be World Leader.
1T had to make a guess, would
say that the war In Europe Is going
to end within the next four years.
Well, when that time comes, and
assuming we remain neutral, the
United States Is going to be not only
the boss creditor nation of the

OF the world in every other depart
ment. We must use that opportu-
nifty to establish larger trade areas
and an international monetary
standard.
I'm addition, despite the views of
the narrow isolationist, America
does have vital interest in the con-
tinuation in this world of the Eng

out of war, but I doubt whether we
will stay out OF war merely by put

cies to be defeated in their fight
against the totalitarian states. It
may we'll be that the most effective
way of us keeping out of this war
will be by helping the democracies
in every way possible, within the
limits of international law.
ALSO, we should on all occasions
as Nation give our complete moral
support to the democracies, for If
the totalitarian states prevail, the

Woodring Says Plan
To Go Home in 1941
Is NOT Significant
Garner Asserts Candidate
Is Necessary to
Have q President

Secretary Of War Woodring said
there was no political significance
in the remark he made last night
that he is going back to Kansas to
live in January, 1941. The remark
was made in the course of the dis
cussion of Kansas problems at a
dinner of the Kansas Council given
for members of the Kansas con-
gressional delegation.
At dinner of Texas businessmen
Vice President Garner, in one of his
rare public utterances, said:
Until you have a candidate you'll
never have President of the United
States"
Secretary Woodring was discuss
ing the problem of new industries in
Kansas, explaining that the State
had both farm and industrial
problem and he was returning next
year to aid in solving both of them
Vice President Garner said that
when he became Vice President he
entered into an agreement" with
President Roosevelt regarding his
public utterances. He said that he
agreed never to make any recon-
mendations for Offices or as to legis-
lative policy unless his advice was
asked. He held that he had been
denoted" when he came to the
Senate as President of that BODY
after serving as Speaker of the
House. He added that during the
last seven years he had had mo
voice." except that he might have
with the boys" in the cloak rooms.
He pointed out that many Texans
held important committee assign
ments IN Congress, and said it be-
hooved State to return an in
cumbent to Congress if he was
honest and intelligent" He ex-
pressed the opinion that a lawmaker
should exercise his independence
of thought"
The Vice President explained
that he was committed to support
Senators Sheppard and Connally,
Texas Democrats, as long as they
wanted to remain in their present
positions.

BY IRA WOLFERT.

NEW YORK. May 2 (N.A.N.A).-
Wendell Willkie, president of the
billion dollar Commonwealth &
Southern Utility empire, answered
questions today enlarging on points
raised in his speech before the
American Newspaper Publishers As
sociation and concluded by summing
up in broad terms his hopes and
fears and telling what he personally
is up TO and why.
Mr.. Willkie said he was quite
anxious to assist in crystalizine
American sentiment toward a ra-
tional approach to our foreign as
well as our domestic policies.
Mr.. Willkie Is 48 years old now.
He started from scratch in the town
OF Elwood, Ind, intent, as he says,
on seeking independence"
Not Electioneering.
He was asked why and also as to
how much there was to this dark
horse presidential talk.
Il am not electioneering, If that
is what you mean," he replied. Il
have not spent a nickel and do not
expect to spend nickel in connec-
ton with this presidential talk.
But the thing I am most inter-
ested in is ideas. I am frankly at
tempting to win popular support for
certain principles in which I believe.
You know, 20 or 80 years ago I was
in the fight against big business and
the monopolies. ''' To me today.
we have the same fight for the
preservation of the peoples liberties,
except that big business has now
been licked and today it is big Gov
ernment' and Government monop-
olies that need the licking If the
peoples liberties are to be preserved.
by the accident of circumstance
the fight which had with the Fed
eral Government over the power
question gave me something of an
audience and I am attempting to
present my views to that audience" !"
Urges Taking New Road.
"The New Deal is maintaining
our present standard of living only
by continued deficit financing and
increased Federal debt. This pol
icy puts this country on a highway
which will come to but one end,
namely. a smashup in which either
our system will be destroyed in the
collapse Of our Government credit
or in its overthrow by those unsup-
piled with the necessities of life. To
my way of thinking, the country
has to get of that road and start
travelling in some other directions.
I'VE must begin at once to stimu-
late business activity in our own
country by reform in our tax sys-
tenn, regulatory laws and spending
policies so as to encourage the busi-
ness located within our own four
walls.

eign markets through international
trade agreements with reference to
industrial products.

Wagner Act Changes
Encouraged by Votes
Against Woee-Hour
Amendments in House
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Repeated House votes against
sweeping wage-hour amendments
led New Deal memberss to express
belief today that they would have
good chance of defeating far
reaching proposals to revise the
Wagner Labor Act.
Five days of wage-hour argu-
ments, 1t was learned, have caused
them to soft pedal their campaign
to prevent the Wagner Act contro-
versy from coming before the House.
Although Democratic leaders have
not yet placed Wagner Act amend
ments on the calendar, it was con-
sidered likely that the subject might
come up the week of May 10.
The chief issue before the House
as wage-hour debate was resumed
today was an amendment which
Representative Buck, Democrat, of
California temporarily wrote in yes
terday attempting to clarity the
present exemption for employees "en-
gagged in agriculture. There have
been arguments over the extent of
that provision.
Would Exempt 100000.
Mr.. Buck said that his proposal
would exempt an additional 200 900
workers, mostly in small farm CO.
operatives which wash, dry, pack
and store fruits and vegetables.
representative Wadsworth, Re-
publican, Of New York, one of Mr..
Bucks supporters, argued that an
exemption was just as necessary for
the washing of navy beans, for ex-
ample, as for growing them.
But few members appeared to un-
derstand what Mr.. Buck wanted to
DO, and there was doubt that his
proposal would remain in the bill
on a final vote, despite the fact it
