"NO Retrenchment"

The finances of the United
States government are honey
combed with waste and extrava-
gance. Like a clap of thunder,
the booming of guns in Europe
warns the American people OF
dangers ahead. Enormous
sums are needed for national
defense. The treasury is empty
the government owes $45, O0O,.
100000 and is running into debt
at the rate of $2,700,00O,O00 ?
year.
Congress meets this situation
by authorizing an addition to tho
national debt up to forty-nint
billion dollars and imposing {
tax that will yield one billion
dollars year for five years t.
take care of defense expendi
lures.
TIL people approve of immed
ate defense preparations ant
cheerfuly face added taxes TO
that purpose.
If the government were nov
looping off all waste and extra
vagance and spending money
solely for defense preparations,
the practical people of the US.
would be disposed to say, Past
extravaganza is water over the
dam. Never mind the debt or the
cost of preparedness. Go a.
headw
But the bitter truth is that
New Deal waste and extravance
are still running wild. The cost
of this unnecessary spending
is greater than the cost Of ma
tional defense. The backs of tax
payers are not relieved of any
peace-time burden as they bend
to carry the extra cost Of defense
The peace-time spending by
the New Deal at this time, not
counting defense spending is
two billion, seven hundred mil
lion dollars year more than
the revenue. In less than two
years the new debt limit will +.
reached by peace-time New
Deal spending. The fiat has gone
forth by the dictator of the
New Deal: mo Retrenchment. .
If the American people are
not to have their property swept
away they must have command
of Congress to put a stop to
New Deal extravaganza at this
critical time when Billions mu,
be spent for national survival.
Since the New Deal dictatot
IS committed to the ruinous ex-
travagance program it is neces-
sary for the people to place in
the White House a man who
will restore financial stability
Of the nation.

japanese Beetle Traps
Snare Pests in
Metropolitan Area
$50, 900 Are Reported
Token in University's
Drive in Prince Georges

Approximately $4,000 Japanese
beetles were shared in Prince
Georges County (Md) beetle traps
from June to July IL, it was
revealed today by DR.. George S.
Langford, beetle control specialist
at the University of Maryland.
This figure represents the beetles
caught in the 5000 yellow traps set
out in the county by the University
Of Maryland in cooperation with
the county commissioners.
The majority of the pests, which
annually account for thousands of
dollars worth Of damage to farm
crops. were trapped in the metro
poltan area Of the county, DR..
Langford said.
He added that the beetles we're
especially thick in the Oxon Hill,
Seat Pleasant. Capitol Heights and
Edmonston areas.
Half Are Egg Layers.
Satisfied with the catch for the
period, DR.. Langford said that ap-
proximately half of the number of
beetles caught were females and
that it would help materially to re-
duce the number of egg-laying pests.
DR.. Langford offered several sug-
gestions to property owners as a
means of combating beetles active
in their gardens.
l. Use the beetle traps.
2. A spray of arsenate of lead a
teaspoonfuls to the gallon of water,
adding -four to make it stick.
3. A hydrate of lime whitewash
spray.
4. Care in landscaping yards with
shrubbery which is not susceptible
to beetles.
Sprays Act as Repellents.
In connection with the second and
third methods, DR.. Langford said
the second is poisonous, the third
poisonous. Neither spray can
successfully kill the beetles, but does
provide a repellent To destroy the
beetle groups, DR.. Leonard suggests
treating the lawn with an arsenate
OF lead solution of 10 pounds to every
1000 square feet of grass. Specif1-
cally, pound of the solution should
be mixed with 10 pounds of sand,
which can be scattered over the
ground easily.
DR.. Langford also urged public CO.
operation with the biological control
nogram which is experimenting
with the colonization of wasps and
the use of milky white disease
as means Of destroying the dreaded
pests.

legedly In order to protect them
