Without War Fear,
Pittman Asserts
No Sone Government
Would Fight America,
Senutor Declares

Chairman Pittman of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee last
night declared the United States
could freely retaliate against any
other nation infringing on Amer
can rights without danger of pre-
cipitating war
He spoke in the American Forum
of the Air" broadcast over Radio
Station VOL from the Interior De-
partment studios
On the same program, Senator
Wiley. Republican, of Wisconsin
criticized Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles' visit to Europe: SEN
ator Schwellenbach. Democrat. Of
Washington urged strict embargo
on trade with Japan, and Senator
Gillette. Democrat, of Iowa appealed
for public confidence in the State
Department.
Referring to British interference
with American shipping and Jap
anese actions in China. Senator
Pittman said ct may become neces-
sary for our Government to do
more than protest
IF our grounds of protest are
sound he continued, then retalia-
ton to enforce our rights would be
both legal and sound Our Govern
ment should not be deferred
by fear of remote chance that
some power may declare war on us.
mo sane government today would
declare war on the United States.
Any declaration of war would simply
submit such government to economic
destruction and seal its fate as a
belligerent.
I'VE may have to retaliate, but we
know that there is no necessity OF
sending a single American soldier
to either Europe of Asia"

| TAYLOR as Herb Seller
BY the Associated Press.

ROME, Feb. 19.-President Roose-
velt's appointment of Myron C. Tay-
lor as his personal Vatican City rep
resentative was ridiculed' by news
paper columnist in II Popolo di
Roma TODAY as typical of Americans
sending abroad "the first newly
rich herb seller who comes along.
provided he has contributed con-
spicuously to the Presidents cleo
ton"
hTe naming of the former chair
man of the board of United States
Steel to collaborate with the Vatican
in peace efforts, the columnist said,
was in accordance with the appoint
ment of such "big business men" as
Ambassadors Joseph E. Kennedy at
London and William C. Bullitt at
Paris.
Mr. Kennedy was contemptuously
referred to as "a pea seller"
The writer also described a Paris
Embassy party for United States
Marines to which the leading bellies
of the French capital were suppos-
edly invited.
1T is to be hoped" the columnist
said, that Signor Taylor will not
take it into his head to organize a
similar reception in honor. for ex-
ample, of the College of Cardinals. u

end-to-end it would go around the
entire world. There is a world of
music contained within the shelves
that house thousands upon thou
sands of copies of the works of
the old masters and newer COM
posers.
The history of the sheet music
stock is interesting, in that it was
one of the first established west
of the Mississippi. by the we'll
known A. A. Taylor. When Mr..
Taylor first went into business in
Tacoma his only competitor was a
department in San Francisco. He
originally served customers from
Mexico to the Canadian border and
as far east as the Mississippi.
Many of the old customers still
deal with the Ted Brown Music
company in Tacoma.

ordered music on the average of
once or twice a month from such
points as Topeka, Kansas Dallas,
Texas; White Fish, Montana; Los
Vegas, Nevada, and even Sacra-
mento, California said Miss Jen-
kins.
"a university in one of our west
ern states consistently orders piano
music from our department because
our stock is much more complete
than that of the closer and larger
cities. This, of course, comes in
part from the old records which
were handed down from the Taylor
