COST $4,000 TO KILL A MAN
IN BATTLE DURING LAST
WORLD WAR

Washington, d. C. (FR) II is
estimated that in the last world
War the cost of killing a man in
battle amounted to the staggering
sum of $4,000. When asked to
check this figure, General Percin
who was in the French army at
the time of the last war, found
that, if anything, the figure was
too low.
Farm Research points out that
less than one-half of one percent
of the families in the United Stat
es receive an income of $4,000.
In fact, one-third of the families
in the country were found to be
living on less than $3.50 a year, &C
cording to the recent study made
by the National Desources Board.
If the $500 were applied to
peace-time uses, it would sufficient
be to convert three farm tenants
families to full owner status. 1t
would wipe off the mortgage debt
from an average of five farms. It
Is equivalent to the average value
of II farm homes in this country.

BILLIONS BILLIONS BILLIONS!
CONGRESS APPROPRIATING
$12 BILLIONS FOR ARMA-
MENTS-

Washington, D. G. (FR)-In its
survey of recent legislation, Farm
Research finds that ornaments
bills totaling $12 billions have al
ready been passed or approved by
Congressional committees since
the President made his original
request i'm January for $1,832,000-
600 for national defense.
The next request on May II in
which the President issued his call
for $4,000 airplanes asked for an
appropriation of $1,182, 000, 900.
He also asked for $272,0 10000 to
be added to this years budget.
This brought the total to $3,2S6,-
100000, but before Congress got
through these appropriations had
been raised to $685. 900, 900.
To mechanic the Army, the
President called for another $3.50
100000 on May 20, but the very
next day he increased this to ST.
900, 100000 Congress raised the
amount to 81, FOG, 900, Then the
Senate passed a measure amount
ing to $50,000,OO0 for wal relief
and the House approved.
Thus the total already approved
by both Houses of Congress am
cunts to $5,315, 900 900. Another
seven billions have already been
approved by Appropriate committees
and have been marked for rush
passage.
Chairman Vinson of the House
Committee on Naval Affairs intro
duced a bill calling for Sd new
warships at a cost of $1,000, 000,-
900. The President raised this to
$4~,OOO,OO0,0 600 and the Committee
approved. On June 20 the Army
put in its request for $4,000
600.
Despite the staggering size of
these appropriations. no provision
has yet been made for the 10000
aarplanes or for the compulsory
training of the 100000 young
people which the President had
asked for. Though it was COM
monty assumed that these $4,000
planes would be paid for out of the
s1,1B2, OO0,000b defense bill, it ac-
tually appropriated only a small
part of this sum for airplanes,
leaving the item for latter action.

Roosevelt Accepts Nomination


WASHINGTON, July Is (ANP)
Preparing for a strenuous camp
| align and one i'm which Negro vot-
ers will figure prominently, Wen
dell Willkde, Republican nominee
for the presidency, last week man,
ed two colored members to his cam
paign advisory committee in the
persons of Thomas G. Nutter of
Charleston, w. Va, and William
E. King, of Chicago.
Both men had figured promin-
emily in pre-convention campaigns
with Nutter a member of the
Glenn Frank Program committee,
and Mr.. King a seconder of the
Dewey nomination in Philadelphia
The selection of Mr.. King is re-
garded as a strong move to solid
fly the Dewey forces behind Mr..
Willkie and gives the party a
strong man in the Middle West
which in recent years has turned
into a Democratic stronghold.
Having thus far completed his
campaign organization, Mr.. Will
hie, who had visited Washington
for this purpose, boarded a plane
for a much needed rest in Color
ado.
This does not settle the question
as to who will head up the two
divisions in the campaign, the
Eastern and Western, altho lgh
there is a mad scramble going a.
head for these important assign
ments, with an added entry in the
field i'm the person of Ellis Rivers.
Mr.. Rivers is pushing his own
case strongly and hopes for the
backing of several who were prom
inent in the convention conference
es to put him over in his effort to
head the Eastern division for the
third time.
The problem of the publicity de-
partment at the national headquar
ers also arises with Mr.. Willkie
said to be favoring the retention
of the present staff, although this
is still an open question.

the Imagination ol elc TAhiSiie"ii
people and, as Mr.. Martin has said
he has color and personality, in ad-
dition to the sound judgement and
experience demanded of a Presi-
dent of the United States.
1T is evident that under Mr..
WILKES leadership greaer consid-
Grafton is being given by the Rep
ublican Party TO the Welfare of
Colored citizens than at any time
during the last 40 years.
I'VE agree with Mr.. Willkie that
the issue in this campaign is the
New Deal Domestic conditions
rother than Foreign Affairs will
engage the attention of the Amer
lean people. Particularly is this
true of the Negro group which has
suffered so greatly under the dis
ordinations and injustices of New
Deal administration.
Politics, under the New Deal,
has been played with relief and
human misery systematically and
r~uthlessly, and to such an extent
especially among our people, that
they have, in large measure, lost
the spirit of independence which
makes for free men and free wom-
en-.
"Mr. Willkie believes in a Gov
eminent of competence and effic-
iency-a thing we have not mad
during the past seven years. If
unity is to be brought about in A
merica it must include the Colored
people, who are the chief victims
of the Democratic oligarchtes in
the South, where the votes of our
people are suppressed by the most
brutal mthods, equal only to those
employed by the Totalitarian Gov
ernments of Europe.
He has taken a stand no other
Presidential Nominee has taken
with regard to determinations a.
gainst Colored citizens in the Arm
ed Services of the Government, =
including the Army, Navy, and
Air Corps, and with respect to the
employment of Colored persons in
government services generally.
I'VE believe with Ma. Willkie
that we must have a Government
which regards itself as the serv-
ant of the people, and not its mas
ter; a Government without preiu-
dlces, and a Government under
which we can move forward again
as a united nation made up of
men and women of confidence and
good will.
The Colored people have. UNI
der the New Deal, been consistent
ly eliminated from the productive
life of the nation and have been
shunted to relief as a substitute
for regular jobs.
What the Negro people of the
United States desire more than
anything else, aside from spiritual
rejuvenation, is relief from econ
omic suffering. They wish jobs
provided that they may work out
their own destiny, and these jobs
cannot be provided until the brak-
es are taken off industry, and UNI
til present hostilities against AM
erican business are abandoned.

tration and only under a Republic

ton of the problems confronting
u people to be expected"

position of an antagonistic, booing
and derisive minority, listened alb
sorbed and silent.
1t had been warned by the con-

cause the president, speaking by
radio from the White house, could
not hear it and so could not sus-
pend for it. But, Barley had adj
ded, MIR. Roosevelt would be able
to hear the crowds response at
the conclusion of his speech. And,
when the address was done. the
big crowd broke into another of

Little Campaigning

AS had Mrs. Roosevelt, address,
ing the convention personally an
hour or so earlier, the president
made it clear that the duties of
his office would not permit much
campaigning and, with the contin-
rance of the crisis abroad, would
keep him close to the White house.
Vigorously he defended his rec
ord on foreign affairs against the
attacks of those who, he said. had
called him a war monger" and
pledged himself to make his for
eign policy of the past months the
foreign policy of the future. He
would Submit to the people,. he
said, the question of all he had
