Bundle Campaign
OF Salvation Army
To Begin Tomorrow
Cost-offs Are Needed
To Help Men Win Back
Their SeIf-Respect

A hand cart with the red shield
Of the Salvation Army was q IA
miliar sight on Washington streets
As years ago.
So were the horse-driven vehicles
that followed it, plodding up one
street and down another seeking
bundles to carry back to the home
of the Salvation Army on Pennsyl-
vania avenue.
That old home and the hand cart
and the horse-driven carriages have
given way to dozen modern trucks
and handsome building at $40
First street NV.
But the need Is still the same.
The Salvation Army still needs the
castoffs from attics, cellars and
closets to help down -but-not- out
men and their families win back
their self-respect and . place in the
community.
Drive Opens Tomorrow.
The Salvation Army's annual
bundle campaign will open tomor-
row and continue through May S,

placed without charge 1856 men and
275 women and furnished 48,86O

Men Are Given Jobs.
When men apply to the Salvation
Army for help they are assigned to
their customary occupation. thereby
enabling them to regain their old
skills. Some are assigned to recon-
ditioning furniture, clothing and in
Vulnerable types of household goods
which otherwise would have laid

In the First street building the
Salvation Army has a large dining
room, recreation and reading room

Finnish Invasion Tragic.
The subsequent invasion of Fin
land by Soviet Russia brought from
President Roosevelt last December
. statement summing up this Gov
ernments attitude toward aggres-
sion. He siad:
ut Is tragic to see the policy Of
force spreading, and to realize that
.wanton disregard for law Is still on
the march. All peace loving peoples
IN those nations that are still hop
Ing for the continuance Of relations
throughout the world on the basis
OF law and order will unanimously
condemn this new resort to mill
tary force as the arbiter of inter-
national differences.
ITO the great misfortune of the
world, the present trend to force
makes insecure the independent
existence Of small nations in every
continent and jeopardizes the rights
OF mankind to self-government."
The ending of the Russo Finnish
war brought another expression of
policy from Mr. Roosevelt, its con-
clusion being that victory for the
aggressor in that instance docs not
yet clarity the inherent right Of
small nations to the maintenance of
their integrity against attack by
superior force"
A particular expression Of this
Governments sympathy for the
peaceful desires of the Scandinavian
states was extended last October in
a telegram from President Roosevelt
to King Gustaf v of Sweden on
the occasion Of a wartime policy
conference of the heads of the
Scandinavian countries at Stock

Starring Bette Davis and Charles Boyer, it Is truly a picture not to be missed by anyone. On the same big show is Enemy Agent" with Richard Cromwell and Helen Vinson.
 Another of the States great sum- mertime hit parade shows arrives at that theater on Wednesday with a thrilling drama of the north woods, "Untamed," in technicolor, as the headliner.
 The picture co-stars Ray Millarid, Patricia Morrison and Akim Tamil rolf, and was adopted from Sinclair Lewis famous story "Mantrap."

 Pressure On Rumania
 Russia is now reported to be bring ing pressure on Rumania to adopt a Soviet form of government, in op- position to the imitation of Nazi rule which Rumania is organizing. The Rumanian government will not be able to reject this proposal out of hand because acceptance would give Rumania the support of Russia against plans of Hungary to seize Pennsylvania, and Bulgaria to an- next Dobruja.
 The Rumanians are reaching a stage where they will have to decide whether to continue to be anti Communist and eventually lose Pennsylvania and Dobruja, or to ac- cept Communism and gaip Stalin's help to keep these two provinces. This newly developing complication in southeastern Europe is especially disquieting to Mussolini, who believes any advance of Communism through the Balkans spells danger to Italy
 Stalin Ambitious
 At the same time Stalin's present ambitions are heading him toward a critical situation if Germany and Italy should win the present war Victorious Germany and Italy would certainly not rest content to see Communist menaces in eastern Flu rope and the Balkans increase in power. Russia would have to be put in her place even at the cost of a new war.
 There is no doubt Stalin knows this fact very well. He must know also that his army would stand nc chance against the German forces in their present condition of high efficiency. That can only mean he would not relish German and Ital- ian victory.
 If, however, Germany were partly to exhaust herself by trying to in- wade Great Britain and if the attack were to fail, eevry consideration of prodence would counsel Stalin to deliver the final blow to prevent German postwar domination. Thus the war may suddenly change its complexion within the next few months. Such considerations as these have been bearing on Germany's present peace drive and. likewise, on Britain's determination to accept no peace at Hitler's price.
