Local Resident Urged
To Succeed Allen

The Dahlgren Terrace Citizens
Association went on record as favor
ing a local resident" to succeed
Commissioner George E. Allen at
its meeting last night held in the
Crosby S. Noyes School.
On a motion by F. J. Mcdonald
the association opposed a sales tax
in any form. The members re-
affirmed their stand for larger ap-
preparations to better the welfare
institutions.
Representative Sheridan's bill to
investigate small loan practices was
referred to j. Golfer of the Laws
and Legislation Committee. Judge
Edward M. Curran's confirmation
by the Senate as District attorney
was applauded by the association.
The members asked that the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board deny
all licenses which the citizens of the
community overwhelmingly were
against.
Gordon L. Leech, director of the
Boys Club of Washington, in a
letter to the association, stated that
If a suitable building could be found,
a branch of the club might be in
stalled in that area. A committee
to locate a suitable spot was ap-
pointed by John P. Cahill, president,

He may not even make his own
mistakes In the conduct of his busi-
ness: those are made for him, by
the government, which allots him
his stock of goods and fixes his prices
and wages.
I have in mind a fish dealer in one
of the poorer quarters of Berlin,
who in normal times made scant
but adequate living selling fish to
the poor-a big volume of business
but a very small price mark-up per
pound. Now the war has greatly cut
down the German fish supply. Gus
toners who used to buy fish several
times a week are lucky if he can let
them have it once a month. He
must make his expenses on greatly
reduced volume, yet he cannot raise
prices to cover this spread, for the
government has pegged the price of
fish so the poor can afford to buy

location for generations, and he and
his clerks must take whatever jobs
they can find, or the government
designates.
This little man, who probably
wasn't brave enough to fight Boil
sheviks in the streets himself in the
old days, but was glad to pay the
Nazis to do it for him, is powerless
and confused today.
But he is very mistrustful of the

many's economic ills, foreseeing
that the closing of Jewish-owned
small stores would mean more
business for all the rest. How
ering on the frontier of disaster,
always in danger of toppling over
into the despised working class, the
little business man of Germany well
coined Hitler because he promised,
by curbing competition, to free him
into his then economic condition,
removing the danger of failure and
bankruptcy, and removing the de-
mands of labor for more wages.
Can Make Own Mistakes.
OF course, under all the shouting
and slogans of the Nazis, none of
these dangers to small business have
been removed. The wages of labor
are fixed by law, and the small busi-
nessman may not even lay off an
employe because of hard times and
diminished trade.

National Socialist party in its rise

is the most subject to fears and hys-

by labor's demand for higher wage

"The Price Of Peace" A few Of the
things he said were: We all desire
peace, even the munition workers,
but the price of peace to them would
mean surrendering the world s
largest business. Nations must lose
some of their National sovereignty
and establish system of law and
order to surrender the age-old belief
of settling disputes through violence.

needed by Japan to carry on its war
against Chinia 90% of the scrap
iron and steel, 76.9go of aircraft
and parts, 65.6% petroleum pro-
ducts.
On January 26th our trade treaty
expires and then is the time to do
something about stopping this traf-
fic. If everyone realized the situa-
ton it would be stopped without any
question for public opinion would
not stand for 1t any longer.
Now is the time to let the Presi-

trade must be stopped. America has
been leading Japan's guns too long
now. American Doctors In China
are kept busy taking American scrap
iron out of the victims Of Japanese
guns.
