Hitches in the Defense Program

Senator Byrd's denunciation of the progress of
our defense plans more than week ago the first
concrete hint given to the public that all milk
and honey along these lines Last week the report of
the National Defense Advisory Commission to the Pres
dent confirmed this suspicion. The details Of this
report have not yet been revealed but it is known that
the NDAC admitted that the eleven billion dollar
program had come to near standstill
Almost Immediately a hunt started for
goat" someone who could be blamed for the delay.
Mr.. Willkie blamed the New Deal the New Dealers
blamed Congress- few Congressman said it chiefly
the fault of the Army and Navy, representatives of all
accused American industry of holding up the works.
All this would have been extremely comca except for
the vital need for of all sorts to the
security of the nation.
Fact of the matter is that, though the defense
program Is an emergency measure, no one is in any
great rush to do anything about it. Congress has
wrangled for weeks over voting the last half of the
considerably time in discussion of CONSUMPTION
bill to provide the manpower for new weapons
when finally get them. Army and Navy chiefs have
disagreed to just what ornaments needed most
and in what quantities. Manufacturers have exerted
little effort to obtain defense orders
Two great uncertainties have caused industry to
hesitate before going "al OUT for the armament pro-
gram. First, Congress and the Administration have
been clubbing about excess profits tax for all de-
Tense work. Profits already have been limited on Navy
contracts and Army aircraft contracts. That they
should be limited all defense orders is agreed but
there is agreement the amount of the limitations.
Industry also is seeking legislation which win assure
it that plants that must be built to handle
defense contracts will not be taxed when the emergency
is over and the plants are idle.

Marriages and the Draft Bill

During the past two months, about the same period
in which the Burke-W ellsworth CONSUMPTION bill has
been under consideration the number of marriages in
all sections of the country has increased enormously
Applications for marriage licenses up "a per cent
in Atlanta in july Is per cent in Chicago in the
month, and about 40 per cent in Los Angeles In New
York City streams Of applicants have kept clerks busy
from morning to night.
Certainly not all those who tripped toward the
altar during recent weeks have been concerned the
proposed draft legislation But there is doubt that
many have had little other motive, because local Off
Gals in many areas have also been swamped with ques
tons about CONSUMPTION exemptions for married
Fate may play ironcal trick this latter group,
for the Burke-Wadsworth bin at present contains
specific exemptions for the welded, and it may be
passed without any.
great many young people are seeking refuge
from CONSUMPTION in marriage, the morale of this coun
try must have dropped to unprecedented low In the
first place. the CONSUMPTION bill is not designed to send
our young to war. 1t was written for exactly
contrary purpose to keep them and this country out
of war. As a part of the defense program, it
intended to make this nation strong that no
aggressor would dare challenge In other words the
men to be conscripted would be no nearer war; but
they would be far better prepared to protect them
selves and the country if it came.
The divorce records of years to come will show how
many recent marriages contracted to avoid the
draft For a man who marries only to escape year
of military training will not long consider the wedding
bonds sacred and will again seek freedom from re-
sponsibiity. And the girl who hurries into matri-
mony just because the Government provides for the
widows of veterans is likely to regret her haste when
the emergency passes.

Washington Digest
Britain Likely to Get Destroyers;
Both Parties Disown Isolationists
Roosevelt-Willkie Debate on Amy Issue Improbable;
Icke's Speech Ignores Conditions at Time
Of Munich Conference.

1t Is rather strange that none Of
the comments on the recent speech
Of Harold Ickes, supposedly replying
TO Wendell Willlkie for President
Roosevelt, have taken issue with
Ickes' criticisms of former Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain. Ap-
parently it is not fashionable to de-
fend Chamberlain for anything he
did. though there was plenty Of APP
proval at the time.
Mr.. Ickesvsaid: Mr.. Willkie criti-
cizes the Blum government In
France and holds it responsible for
the defeat Of France. Has he no criti-
eism Of England's pro-Munich gov
ernment, with it, policy Of appease-
ment?"
Let's take a quick look back at
the Munich conference, what the sit
uation was then. and what Mr.. Ickes'
chief, President Roosevelt, for whom
he was answering willlxie. had to do
with II.
The facts are that, up to Munich,
and for a short period thereafter,
no charge could be made that Adolf
Hitler had ever broken d treaty. He
had said he was going to do things,
and he had done them. So far az
the Rhineland is concerned, or so
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1940-09-05

far as Austria is concerned, he had
made no pretense that he had any
intention of paying heed to the terms
OF the Versailles treaty.
So when Chamberlain went to Mu-
mich, there was no reason to doubt
that whatever terms to preserve
peace might be obtained would be
lived up to. n
Far more important, Britain. was
in no position to fight at the moment.
Britain was woefully unprepared.
This might have been partly the
responsibility of Chamberlain, but
obviously it was much more the
fault Of the preceding administra-
tons, headed among others by STAN
ley Baldwin and Ramsay Mcdonald.
So Chamberlain knew he HAD to
appease.
But more important, from the
standpoint Of Mr.. Iches' slurring at
the former premier, is the fact that
President Roosevelt appealed to both
Hitler and Chamberlain, urging that
the differences be adjusted without
war. He also appealed to Mussolini
to use his good Offices to bring about
the same result.
Al least, during the years which
preceded Munich, Britain kept up
its navy. 1t was under the delusion.
just as were military experts in vir-
tually every other government in
GLIDING our own, that the French
had ''the best army in the world"
Meanwhile the United States had
not completed new battleship since
1920. and was actually without an
adequate supply Of ammunition.
Nearly two years ago Bernard M.
Baruch, on the appeal Of Louis John
son. then Roosevelt's assistant sec
Rotary Of war, personally guaran-
teed a 5000, 900 contract for pow
der-making machinery for which not
only congress had not appropriated,

On the Roads Again

With the starting of school parents should make it
point to that children understand and respect
traffic laws and regulations at least those which
intended to insure their safety the highways In
struction in safety is necessary to youngsters as
training in the three RS.
Teachers in our schools now are endeavoring to
instruct children in the elements of highway safety,
but parents should not leave the entire problem to
them Nor it be left to motorists, for the best
driver in the world is helpless when youngster sud-
denly darts into the path of his The fairest and
safest course to follow is to start teaching caution in
the home.

DESTROYERs TO BRITAIN

DEsTROYERS TO BRITAIN =
1t appears certain to Carter
Field. Washington correspondent,
that Britain will get the so old
destroyers. The only question is
will she get them in timer" Con-
sidering Ickes' speech attacking
former Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain, Mr.. Field finds
that he ignored the conditions
existing at the time of the Mu-
mich conference. He believes that
a debate between Roosevelt and
Willkie is highly improbable.

The feminine guests particularly
enhanced the gayety of the affair,
most of them appearing in new
spring bonnets which blossomed with
flowers or almost flew away on the
wings of the various exotic feathers
which decorated their brims.
The plentiful supply of champagne
with which toasts to the Red Cross
president were made was brought
from the wine cellars of the En-
bassy itself, and the sparkling vint-
age was the main refreshment of
the afternoon.
The Charge d'Affaires of Germany
and Frau Thomson received with the
Duke, and the callers were intro
duced by Herr Ernst Ostermann
Won Roth, Second Secretary of the
Embassy.
His highness is a most gracious
gentleman, and his ruddy face
beamed upon each guest with in
dlvldual interest as he exchanged a
democratic handclasp with some, or
bowed to the curtsies of some of the
women Of the embassies.
Hostess Gowned
In Black.
The attractive blond hostess wore
a smart street length frock of black
MORE with short sleeves, and her
hat was of black taf1eta ornamented
with white flowers. She and Herr
Thomson greeted their guests cor
daily, as did the royal guest of
honor.
Palms and foliage decorated the
long west ballroom of the Shore
ham Hotel, where the reception was
held, and these and carnations and
gladioluses added the only decorative
features to the room, other than the
long centerpiece on the buffet.
Here spring flowers, consisting of
yellow jonquils, purple iris, tulips
and roses were the principal bios
SONS used.
Although the Charge d'Affaires
and Frau Thomson had invited
about 600 guests to meet the Duke,
the number of those who called
between the reception hours of S
to Z o'clock was much larger, for
many who received invitations
