More Federal Control Proposed .
The U. S. Forestry Service has
proposed that the government he
given authority to regulate the
cutting of timber on privately
owned land. The theory is that
under government control timber
can be conserved. Cutting timber
has been depleted, according ito the
Forest Service, by 100 billion
board feet since 1914.

New Trade Pact: Seeking renewal
of the trade pact with the United
States, Japan Is reported as realiz.

Finnish Aid Problem: With uni
versal sympathy for Finland, Con
gress and the Administration are
confronted with a highly technical
question in the manner of extend
ing help and relief. The issue is
to be met by extending aid to re-
lieve suffering but no money is to
be loaned for war purposes. The
question of neutrality enters in
along with a widespread public
opinion against making any con-
tribution for war purposes. The
Presidents plan is to loan money
through the Export-Import Bank,
via the Refinance Corporation.

American Boy
MagazineC Companion
To Thousands

Hundreds of thousands of boys
and young men read THE AMERI-
CAN BOY Magazine every month
and consider it more as a living
companion than as a magazine.
It's as much buddy to me as
my neighborhood chum," writes
one high school senior. "THE
AMERICAN BOY seems to under
stand boys problems and con-
siders them in such a sympathetic
and helpful way. 1t gives advice
and entertaining reading On every
subject in which a young fellow
is interested. 1t is particularly help
full in sports. l made our school
basketball team because of play
ing tips l read in THE AMERICAN
BOY"
Many famous athletes in all
sports credit much of their sue
cess to helpful suggestions re-
ceived from sports articles car
led in THE AMERICAN BOY
Magazine. Virtually everp issue
offers advice from a famous coach
or player. Football, basketball,
! track, tennis, in fact every major
sport is covered in fiction and
fact articles.
Teachers, librarians, parents and
leaders of boys clubs also recon-
mend THE AMERICAN BOY en-
Enthusiastically. They have found
that as a general rule regular read
ers of THE AMERICAN BOY ad-
vance more rapidly and develop
more worthwhile characteristics
than do boys who do not read 1t.
Trained writers and artist, fam
GUS coaches and athletes, explor-
ers, scientists and men success
full in business and industry join
with an experienced staff to pro-
duce in THE AMERICAN BOY,
the sort of reading matter boys
like best.

Congress and putting foreign
policy exclusively in the hands OF
the Chief Executive and that by
starting this system of loans to
Finland it would soon lead to other
general loans. The precedent be.
ing made, finally the United
States would be financing Europe S

Shears Go Into Discard: One
notable Bureau in Washington is
scheduled for discard under the
economy wave-that is the office
of Government Reports. T h e
geniuses of this institution are the
wielders of clipping shears. An
army of readers look over news.
papers from all over the country
and clip out every item praising
criticizing or commenting on gov,
ernment big shots, departments or
policies. These then are digested
and supplied to executive heads SO
they can be advised and prepared
to meet the issues involved. A
saving of over s1,O00,000 will re
suit. The Office of Government
Reports was formerly the National
Emergency Council Under either

Annual Scare to Bolster Ap
preparations: Congress has to
make appropriations for the Navy
Each year, when Congress con
venes, representatives of the Navy
appearing before Congress com.
mittees for their spending money
have some major scare which the
Navy must prepare to meet. This
time Admiral Stark advises that
the United States can not count
on the world democracies to help
out in case of attack and therefore
the lid must be lifted on appropria-
tions for the Navy. In view of the
huge national debt, Congress is
showing reluctance to give the
Navy all the spending money ask
ed for especially since some 36
cruisers have been built so top
heavy and so unseaworthy that
their value to the fleet will be nil
until they are braced and keel
heavied so that they will remain
afloat in heavy seas and not top
pie over when their cannons are
fired.

WE ALL PAY

g.eanor Roosevelt, speaker, col
umnist and wife of the President
fthe United States, is a realist-
at long last.
BY her own public admission,
she has had to come to face
with the spending program of her
New Deal political family.
She believes not enough thought
has been given as to how you're
going to pay for these things" She
believes we should face the fact
that we are running into debt"
Eleanor Roosevelt hits the nail
on the head. She summed it up
well-for all of us.
Her conclusions were stated
publicly recently at a meeting OF
the District of Columbia Youth
Legislature, after she had listen
ed for two hours to attacks on the
Presidents policies relative to
budget cuts, unemployment and
the precedence of foreign relations
over unsolved domestic affairs.
Mrs. Roosevelt heard DR.. Floyd
w. Reeves. former chairman OF the
Presidents Advisory Committee on
Education, express 'sintense re-
gret, at Mr.. Roosevelt's lack or
consideration for unemployed
youth in his address to the White
House Conference on Children IN
Democracy. Mrs. Roosevelt heard
the ID. C. Youth Legislature adopt
recommendation decrying the
Presidents calling for action on
budget retrenchment. Mrs. Roose-
Welt heard speakers lament that
the President is Forgetting
Civilian Conservation Corps ana
witnessed the Legislature's adop
tion q { a resolution urging IN
creased C.C.C. appropriations. She
heard the Dies Committee censur-
ed.
Then Eleanor Roosevelt took the
Youthful Legislators" to task. Ac-
oording to the Washington EVe-
ming Star she said:
"I haven't heard a single sus-
sestion all night long OF no"
you're going to pay for these
things"
you show you aren't thinking
things through. think you ough'
to face the fact that you are run
ming into debt. You ought to have
an interest because you're the
ones who are going to pay.
To repeat. Eleanor Roosevelt Is
realist. Would that her 1llustrl'
ous husband had seen this nano'
writing on the wall few years
back!

Open Letter Asking
Help for Enumerutors

District residents were urged to-
day by the civic leaders through the
Washington Board of Trade to CO.
operate with census enumerators
who began their inventory taking
this morning.
The open letter, addressed to all
district residents, declared:
Yesterday census enumerators
started calling on residents of the
District of Columbia to take the
sixteenth decennial census. Because
of the urgent need of securing re-
liable data along many lines, the
Census Bureau is seeking answers to
the most extensive list of questions
ever used in a census.
THE information being gathered
will be summarized and in that form
will become available to all, but no
detail about any individual will be
made public.
I'VE all need to take stock periodi-
cally so that by comparison with
previous inventories we may know
what progress we are making. The
sixteenth census affords a stock
taking of business, manufacturing,
population, housing, unemployment
and other data, all of which will be
very valuable. Everyone will benefit
from some part of the information
being gathered.
"You are urged to cooperate fully
with the enumerators to the end that
this census may be the most COM
plete and the most accurate ever
taken"
Signing the letters were: George
E. Allen, Commissioner Maj. Patrick
