D. T.. Guard Unit
TobeMobi|ized
November IS
260th Coost Artillery
Gets Orders; Others
Told to Be Ready

Half of the District National Guard
the 1.087 men in the 260th Coast
Artillery ti-Aircraft-will be mo-
bilized November Is. Col. Walter w.
Burns, the regiments commander
announced today.
No definite time has been set
for the other units to report, but a
warning order" has been issued
for the remainder of the Guards
2,200 men to prepare their equip
ment for mobilization, Brig. Gen.
Albert L. Cox said
Col. Burns said his men and Of
ficers have been notified they will
train at Fort Bliss, Tex, near the
Mexican border.
The November IS date. however,
does not mean they will leave for
Texas Immediately About a week
or 10 days may elapse before physi-
cal examinations are completed and
supplies are assured. The date when
the regiment leaves will be an
nounced by the War Department.
Others to Train at Fort Meade.
AS $4,000 National Guardsmen re.
ported TO home armories in 26 States
for one year of duty starting today,
the District Guard was notified in
formally that units other than the
260th would train at Fort George
G. Meade. about 80 miles from the
District in Anne Arundel County,
Md. The huge Army post is to be a
recruit depot for conscripts as we'll
as the major training grounds for
the Regular Army and National
Guardsmen in the Sd Corps Area,
embracing Pennsylvania. Maryland,
Virginia and the District.
Gen. Cox warned that there IS
no definite basis in fact for rumors
that the remainder of the District
Guard units would be ordered out
at the same time
ANY guess at the date Is very
speculative, he declared.
War Department sources have in
dlcated that practically all Ma
tional Guard units in the country
would be on duty by January /,
providing the current appropriation
bill to provide funds for housing
and supplies is approved speedily
by Congress.
127 May Quit Guard.
Col. Charles A. Dravo adjutant
general of the District Guard, said
he expected about 127 men would
! obtain discharges because Of de-
/ pendents. A new observation squad
ron. former about month ago,
has not yet won Federal recogni-
ton, and until it does. it cannot
be ordered to duty The squad
ron is now in the process of forma-
ton.
District Guard units will have
| their ranks filled to war strength
with conscripts. About 1000 Wash
ington youths will be ordered 20
duty within nine months under the
selective service law and 1t was con-
sidered probable that many would
| serve with the local Guard.
The method by which the 260th
would be transferred to Fort Bliss.
a cavalry post, has not yet been
disclosed. It was considered prob
able that a truck company would
move the guns and men, but the
present supply of vehicles Is insult
| flcient.
Col. Burns said he expects the
regiment to obtain about 100 more
vehicles. including many IL and
2l2 ton trucks. as well as command
| cars and two radio cars.

D. T.. Mi|kshed
May Import
.|ceCream Milk
Reduction in Supply
Unlikely to Affect
Fluid Consumers

The possibility of temporary re-
duction of the milk supply in the
Washington market, which may
force ice cream manufacturers to
seek milk outside this section, was
seen in a bulletin issued today by
Bruce B. Derrick, secretary OF the
Maryland-V Virginia Milk Producers
Association, in which he urged
Montgomery County CMdD dairy
farmers to increase production.
Mr.. Derrick, explaining the bull
letin to reporter, said it was un-
likely that there would be shortage
that would affect retail consumers
of milk and cream but that ice
cream manufacturers might have to
be cut off from the supply of the
Washington milk she'd A similar
situation developed the last few days
of July, when the manufacturers
had to go outside this section, he
said.
Pointing out that shipments last
month were 80,000 gallons, only 5000
gallons more than retail milk and
cream sales in the District, Mr..
Derrick asked that every effort be
made to increase production and
maintain an adequate market supply
The usual margin between ship
mentS and sales is about l5000 GAL
Ions, he said.
Danger to Pass in October.
Its simply that we want to take
care of every possibility" he said.
"If consumption should suddenly
jump and production decrease,
there's a possibility there would be
a shortage. So we would like to
increase the 'cushion'-which is
getting to thin for comfort
Any danger in a shortage will
definitely pass by the middle of
October when cool weather will have
set in, he said.
If the market demands for Sep
tember, which is usually about 10
per cent above that for August. holds
up for this year, shipments are ex-
pected to reach $4,000, higher than
the record of $4,000 gallons shipped
in May, according to Mr.. Derrick.
The holiday crowd is back. and
Maryland. Virginia and Washing
ton schools are opening. which will
call for more milk" he explained in
the bulletin.
The basic price for milk for
Montgomery County dairymen was
24.6 cents gallon plus premiums
during August, while the surplus
milk price was IA cents a gallon, an
above average" price for surplus,
Mr.. Derrick said. The price is for
4 per cent content butter fat de-
livered in Washington.
Summer Production. Lower.
Milk production during the sum-
mer has been lower than usual
due to poor pasturage and unfavor-
able weather. which was excessive
ly hot in July and wet in August.
according to Mi Derrick TIE
shipment of 10000 gallons last
month was about 20 per cent higher
than for the same month last year
and As per cent higher than in Au-
gust, 1888. when considerable boot
leg milk was being brought in from
outside" Mr. Derrick estimated.
The increased demand in the
Washington market is due partly
to the increased population in the
metropolitan area. augmented by an
influx of Government workers
brought to Washington by the ma
tional defense program, according
to o. w. Anderson, agriculture
agent of Montgomery County. There
are about 300 dairy herds in the
county with approximately $500
to 1000 COWS. The value of the
shipments amounts to about 81
100000 year, he estimated.

AMERICAS RESPONSIBILITY

THE daily news services and personal contacts
make it impossible for us to fail to realize the
gravity of what is taking place in Europe. Two
mighty nations have put into power regime dedi-
Gated to the destruction of the Christian religion
and the democratic way of life. The Christian re-
ligion emphasizes brotherhood, mutual response
bilities, and the dignity of every human being be-
cause his soul gives him knship with the Infinite
The democratic way of life is predicated on equal
opportunities for personal and mental develop
ment, equal rights before the law, and the recipro-
cal responsibilities of personal freedom. These
intangibles and goals of European civilization
however imperfectly realized, were what gave it
value and assured advancement in human living.
When Bolshevik Russia set up it's new social
order it repudiated the ideals of Christianity and
personal freedom, and set up materialistic goals.
When the NaZi Party assumed control of Ger
many, it elevated the old Nordic gods and pagan
virtues, and turned it's back on a gospel of love
and fellowship. Such elevation of these material
istic ideals is not justified even by the fact that
the ideals were born of poverty and have their
roots in privations and injustices.
The European picture is very black, and many
are hunting for refuge OF some way of escape.
We, in the United States, cannot solve the prob
lens of Europe-neither can we escape the conse-
quences of whatever fate befalls Europe. But our
major problem is to escape a like catastrophe in
this country If we would escape the hatreds, the
racial prosecutions, the loss of personal freedom
that now terrifes European people, we must estab-
lish social and economic order that is based on
freedom and justice for individuals with oppor-
tunity for each to earn the means with which to
have access to opportunities for a good life The
key is jobs for those who need them
If we, in United States, with our rich natural
resources and production capacities cannot devise
measures that will provide adequate en-
ployment opportunities in private industries, then
our great experiment in democracy will be doomed
to notifications. This is the task to which rep
resentative economic groups must address them
selves without loss of time.
Without question we can solve the technical
problems involved in producing an abundance for
ALL We must put an equal amount of sincerity and
ability in solving the distribution of abundance to
al-the problem of marketing and consumer in
comes. Here is the urgent challenge which we
must meet as a Nation if we would save ourselves
and help Europe.

THE BISHOPS AND SOCIAL ORDER

THE statement Of the ArchbshOps and Bishops
of the Administrative Board of the National
Catholic Welfare Council made public on Ash
Wednesday emphasizes principles fundamental to
our immediate economic and social problems.
Basing their statement upon the essential function
of private ownership of property in providing in
dividuas with security, the Bishops outline pivot
al rules for a social order to be determined through
clear thinking and right conscience.
Without private property, working men and
women have no sense OF stability that comes from
ability to meet emergencies. Security, they point
out lies through two methods: Q) social insur-
ance to provide income during unemployment, in
capacity during sickness and old age, accidents
and occupational diseases, and death, and (2)
through collective bargaining between unions and
"some form Of partnership which would permit
a graduated share in the ownership and profits
of business and also some voice in its manage
ment.'
Living wages, which prior claim on pro-
duction, should be sufficient not merely for the
working man and his family, to provide food,
clothing, and shelter together with essential
spiritual and cultural needs without the necessity
of the wife and mother supplementng the bread
winners earnings. Furthermore the Bishops in
clude sum adequate for savings as an essential
part of their definition of living wage. The
Bishops add: Because economic society has not
followed the moral laws of justice and charity,
the principles of interdependence have been vio-
lated and have precipitated unemployment
with all it's consequent hardships and misery. To
withhold just and reasonable wages from the
workngman has injured him directly and immedi-
atey but it has also I'M ured the common good and
the interests OF the very owners OF property.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1940-03-21

Their factories, their commercial establishments
and their equipment have frequently stood idle as
a result. Unless workingmen as class have sui
fcient income to purchase their share of the goods
which our economic system is capable OF produc
ing, the markets will automatically be closed te
the sale of goods, and idle factories and unemploy
ment are the disastrous result"
Our national movement toward social order
should proceed with consistent regard for Chris
tian morals and sound economic principles. The
social welfare, assuring collective bargaining by
organized labor and employers. These two reforms
are contemplated: "In the first place there must
be re-established some form of guild or vocational
groups which will bind men together in society &C
cording to their respective occupations, thus Gre
ating moral unity. Secondly there must be re-
form of morals and profound renewal of the
Christian spirit which must precede the social re-
construction" Such guild or corporate could es-
tablish sound prosperity with the proper hier-
proper functional responsibility for these voca-
tional groups is obvious. If any one group under
takes to do the work of one or more other groups
tyranny begins and unsound economic trends set
in. The Bishops quote Plus XI as follows: "Un-
the first and immediate apostles of the
working men must themselves be working men,
while the apostles of the industrial and CONNER
cal world should themselves be employers and
The field of the church is spiritual and moral
life, while Labor must be responsible for the labor
unions, and employers for trade associations. With
each group meeting it's responsibility and respect
ing the competence of the organizations in their
respective fields, we would look forward to the
evolution of sound social order. If all within the
Church observe these words of wisdom, the power
Of the Church will increase. "The Church is not
concerned with the accuracy of economic surveys
Or the resultant data, nor with the problems of
scientific organization, production, cost-account-
ng transportation, marketing and multitude of
similar activities To pass judgment on their ap-
titude and merits is technical problem proper
to economic science and business administration.
For such the Church has neither the equipment
nor the authorization. We frankly declare that it
would be unwise on her part to discuss their oper-
involved"

Absolute Dictatorship Certain
If War Comes, Wheeler Warns

Washington, d. c.. ULNS).-Free
dom and democracy here would face
almost certain death if war comes to
the United States, Senator Burton *.
Wheeler of Montana warned in writ
ing in the Virginia Quarterly Review.
He urged the Government to concen-
trate on solving domestic problems,
as the best means to preserve democ-
racy in a world at war.
If the United States is drawn into
the European war, "a dictatorship as
absolute as any the world has known"
will be established here, Wheeler pre-
dicted.
"War creates dictators, and rarely
deposes them," he wrote. "With the
loss of civil rights, guaranteed by CEN
turies of American tradition, we
might easily lose our cherished de-
mocracy.
at may be said that this is paint
ing too black a picture. But already
the heads of Government departments
in Washington have been asked to re-
port their military experience y. to
prepare blueprints for actions if war
comes war measures have been
drawn up by which the machinery of
military dictatorship could be set in
motion overnight"
He derided "those who urge that we
would profit by war boom," and as
serted that sit is we'll that this false
but generally accepted motion has
been punctured by events in England
and France" He cited the fact that
despite war activities their still are
100000 unemployed in England.
Wheeler urged the L. S. Govern
ment devote its full attention to solv-
ing domestic problems, and said that
"employment for the 100000 to 10,-
000,0C0 workers who, through no
fault of their own, are without jobs,
and fair prices for farm products
these will do more to preserve democ-
racy in the United States than all the
armies and navies in the world"

Few Cities Find New Revenues
For Increased Relief Costs

Chicago ULNS).-Few cities have
been able to develop new sources of
revenue to match increases in local
relief and emergency employment
costs in the last 10 years, the Munich
pal Finance Officers Association Of
the United States and Canada reports.
The report was based on a study of
relief finance methods of more than
so cities.
Only four of the cities-New York,
San Francisco, Grand Rapids, Mich,
and Erie, Paused special sources of
revenue to any extent to finance their
relief programs, the study showed. AL
most all of the other cities used reg
ular tax receipts to pay for direct re-
lief and their share of Work Projects

ministration costs.

THAT FINNISH RED GOVERNMENTS

TT is not to laugh it is too tragic. But there is a
wry smile due to the malmanaged effort of Die
tator Stain and his mental machine, with refer
ence to their refusal to treat with the Finnish gov
ernment; and the pitful scarecrow of their alleged
Finnish Communistic government of the Finnish
people"
After Soviet agents had set up this thing just
prior to the attack on Finland, they later accused
the poor dupes of lying to them concerning the
willingness Of the Finnish people to fight for
their country. Some of the Arctic fogs must have
circulated in the alleged intelligence service of
Stain, obscurng the otherwise perfectly clear
picture of capable and unified people. Soviet
agencies did at last find somewhere a generalship
which knew how to use something besides raw
flesh and blood against the Finnish skill and
courage.
All the elements of great epic poem are here
including the unworthy defeat of a really noble
cause. Will the heart Of Sibelius, great Finnish
composer be too sore to tell the story in some ma
ljestic musical score?
