tantes, matrons and Princeton

ton Club of Washington will enter
tain the cast at a luncheon before

leading lady. The leading lady,

Princeton student, is turned in to
the dean by jealous rival for the
affections of the clubs vice presi-

many difficulties, but all is right at
the end.

NO EXCUSE FOR
GOING TO WAR

Editor. The Times: In spite
of all the muddled thinking and
clash of opinion these days 1
believe there is almost unani-
nous agreement on two things:
LIST. We want America kept out
OF war. There is no situation
in the world today nor within
the realm Of reasonable future
possibility which American
arms can improve by interven-
ton. Benjamin Franklin was
right lat least until 1919 when
he said, There never was a
good war nor bad peace"
And cd to this end we want
enactment of the Bone-Clark
bill or an equivalent measure
which will remove most of the
Indictment to war by taxing
war profits 100 per cent. Inter-
vention is not advocated by
those who pay for war with

IVA Is Here to STAY

Many of the things that have been accomplished during
our decade of depression here to stay 1t is notable
thing that in the current discussion of political platforms
for 1910, almost nobody believes in complete return to
1929 even if that possible.
Social security measures like bank deposit insurance

Memphis for instance became year the first large
city in the United States to own and operate all of its
public utilities, gas electricity and water The saving to
the people of Memphis in that has been at
least $2500000 million kilowatts month in resi-
dental service alone is being consumed Savings of from
25 to 40 per utility bills have actually raised the
standard of living of Memphans.
The only question Isl Has this desirable result been
achieved at the expense of the taxpayers of the of the
country? The IVA idea has been based the expecta
ton that eventually the whole vast system will for itself
reimburse the taxpayers of the United States for
advance made largely for the benefit of section.
Wlkie quite right in suggesting that the books of
this enterprise should be kept in such way that the
American people will know exactly what IVA is costing
them.
Who pays, and how much? Who gets the benefits,
and what they? Careful scrutiny should be kept of
these factors for them will depend future policies that
may well transform the country.

ANSWERING FIFTH
COLUMN ISLANDERS

Editor. The Times: T h
American war makers are level
ing the term Fifth columnists'
against those who want peace
and security. They are SANDER
ing the foreign born people as
Fifth columnists" in order to
divide the whole American peo-
pie who want peace, and as a
menace to whip up the war
hysteris, destroy the labor
movement and the democratic
rights of the people.
Whether native or foreign
born, they are true lovers Of
genuine American traditions
that stand for peace, security
and democracy.
For the sake of your families

Stories in
Stamps
Leopold's Surrender
Not Fother's Toctics

TWO kings Of Belgium, Albert I
= and Leopold III, are pictured
on the Belgian stamp above, OF
the Orval Abbey restoration issue.
In 1914, Albert defied German
invaders, called on Britain to pro-
tect Belgium's neutrality. He led
the heroic resistance of the small
Belgian army, slowed the German
advance, gave the Allies time to
organize. Later he was forced TO
retreat to a strip Of coast, which
Belgium held through the
World War.
In 1910, Leopold III discovered
that German guarantees OF neu-
trality were still scraps of pa

chine rolled over the Lowlands,
Leopold led his men in the field.
But he fought a losing fight
Trapped in Flanders, facing ap-
parent humiliation. Leopold sur

In Paris, the Belgian govern
ment disowned the king. Others
defended his action, said his love
of Belgium would not permit sac
rificing more lives.

Hitler's most murderous bat

If nation could obtain
patent on such an idea, it would
be the exclusive possession of

1t originated with two famous
navy pilots-Al Williams and
Hal Brow-during their fierce
rivalry for capture of the Pulit-
ger cup race in 1882. In order
to work up tremendous speed
before they brought their planes
to the starting line. they climb
ed to 1000 feet and zoomed
down. They attained what was
at the time regarded as terrify-
ing speed-about 270 miles an
hour. Rear Admiral Moffett,
then chief of naval aeronautics.
was so frightened that he wired
to cut out their circus stunts.
Not until 1927 did the navy
indulge in dive bombing as a
formal, organized maneuver. The

drons - operating at Virginia
Beach and San Diego. respec-
tively-were given permission to
try it out. The Fifth squadron
was commanded by the famous
ike" Schlossbach, who SUISSE
quently accompanied wilkins on
his North Pole expeditions and
Byrd to the South Pole. Italy
was the first foreign nation to
copy the idea. and Germany
next. Britain and France tried
but dropped it, figuring it was
not feasible, and did not resume
it until few years ago.

Editor, The Times: Allow me

Today | can see history re-
peating itself. Perhaps before
another six months have gone
by, our young men will be called
to the colors. To defend what?
Not democracy. To defend that
very system which breeds Fas-
cism and Nazism. Should we
rescue individual slaves and
leave intact the slave system ?
Should we pick up the derelicts
of a competitive system and give
them doles and leave the system
to 60 on producing its poverty
and hates?
Before we feel too badly about
the poor people of Europe. it
might be a good thing to visit
oath and Pacific ave. and view
our own poverty.
II. Jerry Voorhis said recently
in the House OF Representatives.:
IF We spend millions on srma-
ments which constitutes a COM
plete net economic waste and
sacrifice for the people, and
fail to constructively, and by
whatever measure may be nee
essary, to solve the problems of
our people at home, we will
have certainly and effectively
doomed the democracy we pro-
fess to love"
