must not be infringed by govern
ment.
It is too soon to make even vague
predictions as to the prospects of the
Federal Union plan. But large and
growing body of influential advo-
Gates of the plan is urging that our
government call a preliminary con-
vention of delegates from all the
eligible nations, perhaps in indie
pendence hall, where the Continen-
tai congress met and adopted the
Declaration of independence. The
dream of new declaration-a Dec
laration of Interdependence may not
be too far from realization, once the
people of the world recognize it as
the surest path to permanent peace
and prosperity for all.
1t is not something which will be
brought about by those who seek to
make personal political capital out
of arousing international hatreds
and racial jealousies. 1t will be
brought about, when it comes, by the
peoples themselves, the ordinary
folk of the democratic nations, the
ones who have to fight wars and pay
for them, who have most to gain
and least to lose by uniting in a
Federal Union.

scheme but a definitely American
project.
What Do We Give Up?
All right, then; what do we give
up and what do we get if we go in?
First, the defense forces, air, sea,
and land-except, no doubt, national
militia, would be pooled under the
Union government. Such a force
would make potential enemies think
twice.
Every citizen of any of the mem
Der states would be a citizen of the
Union, as in America today-free to
travel, settle, engage in business,
work at trade or develop the re-
sources of any part of the enormous
area included in the Union. Broad
err horizons and wider opportunities
for all. Commerce would be free
of artificial barriers between men,
Der states; the Union could set up
barriers for all against non-mem-
bers.
In the territory controlled by the
Federal Union would be the bulk
of the worlds raw materials; in its
factories would be most OF the
worlds productive capacity. Its cit
henry would include by far the high
est technical skills in the world with
the best-equipped research labora-
tories in which to develop and main
tain their supremacy. 1t would con-
troll the strategic ports and seaways
of commerce of most of the world.
It could and should be the most
powerful influence for peace ever
created.
How the Federal Union would be
governed would be for the conven-
ton at which it is formed to decide.
The plan proposed would place the
executive power in the hands of a
premier and cabinet subject to re-
moval by the legislative assembly.
A proposal to establish what would
be in effect, a world capital some
where on this side of the Atlantic,
perhaps even in the central part OF
the United States, has been made.
There would be no more clash be-
tween the government of the United
States and the Federal Union than
there is now between the govern
ment of, say, Kansas, and that OF
the United States. Each would con-
tinue to function in it's own sphere
as before.
Membership Requirements.
Tho m aior reinforcement for MEM
bership in the Federal Union would
necessarily be that of democracy.
And as Clarence STREET defines
democracy, it is condition or sys-
tenn in which the majority controls
but must respect the rights OF every
minority, however smal-even a
minority of one. For human rights
are not conferred by the state, but
are inherent in the Individual, and

sonal security. There are more than
1000, 900 such sets in the files. In adj
dition, all government agencies are
fingerprinting job applicants.
In three months, the division has
received 77,678 sets from the war
department, So, 917 from the Civilian
Conservation corps, 50,832 from CIV
il service, $4,000 from the navy,
3,728 from the marine corps, 9l0
from the coast guard and 7l2 from
the maritime commission.
All these are filed under an intri-
cate mathematical system based on
the shape of the markings on the
finger tips. They are divided so only
a few score of each type are filed
together. The fingerprint expert
thus is able to effect an identified
ton of any set of prints in about
three minutes.
In addition to the large active
files, the division has inactive files
for persons past 60. After person
has reached go, his prints are trans
ferred to the dead files, unless the
division has been questioned on the
individual.
Fingerprint files also are cross
referenced to card system, so all
information may be obtained easily
by clerks. Some individuals have
as many as 100 cards referring to
different crimes. About 26, 900 cards
and fngerprints are marked with
red tabs to indicate fugitive from
justice.
Once the fingerprints and cards
have been found and an identified
ton made, the information is sent
to an assembly room, where anoth-
er set of experts verify the identii-
cation, assemble the material and
send it to a tipping room. Here the
whole record is typed, and copies
are sent to all local police forces,
that have sent the division the fin
gerprints of the individual.
1t is expected the FBI records
will be helpful to national defense
after the fngerprints of the aliens
taken in the registration have been
added to them.

LittIe-K,own Metal
Plays Defense Role

NEW YORK.-Behind the official
secrecy that enfolds details of the
national defense program a metal
called beryllium is daily playing a
more and more important role-a
role so vital that army officials be-
ieve it may help break the ''bottle-
neck in the machine tool industry
caused by shortage of skilled
workers.
Army ordnance men reveal that
beryllium alloys have been success
fully tested for use in mass produc-
ton of parts for the new Garand
rifles.
Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney,
board chairman of Pan American
Anyways, sponsored research in the
metal-at cost of more than $780,
600 in the past seven years-and
helped make possible the timely
graduation of the substance from
laboratory toy to an instrument
of commerce and defense.
Whitney saw huge potentialities in
beryllium, largely in aviation be-
cause of the metals resistance to
fatigue and corrosion, its extraordi-
nary light weight and electrical con-
ductiyity. The metal is only two
thirds as heavy as aluminium.
"Until recently" he said, "the
great problem of beryllium was its
high cost of production. Half a GEN.
fury or so ago the pure metal would
have cost about $4,000 a gram. To-
day it sells in quantities at about
SIS pound.
Scientific Achievement.
"That is scientific achievement
which some day believe will make
possible beryllium' volume use in
the hulls of seaplanes and ships,
because it is non-corrosive."
A pinch of beryllium added to cop
per, aluminium, magnesium and 9TH
er metals increases the fuidity of
the mixture when it is melted so
that the alloy fills every tiny crew
ice in a casting mold. Steel and
other materials used for manufac-
ture of gun parts must be subjected
to long processes of forging, ma
Ginning and finishing with cutting
tools before they finally arrive in a
rifle. This work needs skilled ma
chine tool artisans. =
AS a result of these tests, the
war department asked Immediately
for sample castings.
Beryllium alloys have the highest
tensile strength known. Beryllium-
nickel e per cent beryllium and
SO per cent nickeD, for instance,
has tensile strength of 100000
pounds to the square inch, but struc-
tural steel only 10000 and stainless
steel 10000.
A beryllium-copper spring can be
fexed 10000, 100000 times before it
will break, compared with 2 or 8
million times for one which is con-
structed out of steel.
If beryllium becomes a prime war
necessity, there will be no lack of it
in this country. Deposits are found
along the eastern seaboard from
Maine to Georgia, in the Black Hills
of the Dakotas and in Colorado,
Utah, Wyoming, Nevada, California,
New Mexico and Arizona.
Beryllium is an element just like
iron or copper. 1t is extracted from
beryl, familiar to many people as a
stone used in jewelry. A pure beryl
contains about IA per cent of beryl-
lium oxide and is white and fairly
transparent. When mixed with chro-
MUM, it is an emerald.

POWER OF PRIORITIES

In war, and in the highest national
interest, we cannot ration scant sup
ply to the longest purse. 1t must go
to the most necessitous use, regard
less of the highest bid. We are in
a sort of siege. We are wasteful
people-we must ration what we
have-and it is plenty-so that no
body hogs anything. That is very
simple process. Our World war
system is a model. / am for imme-
diately putting in the hands of the
President power of priorities.
That is an easy thing to do. 1t
doesn't deprive anybody of anything.
It merely says that whatever needs
are whether in power, la
Dor, materials, or finance-what the
nation needs for defense shall come
before what any of us needs for
our pleasure, and no higher price
offer will get anybody anything.
On the other angle-fear of the
value of money-Mr. Morgenthau is
right on one thing. The debt limit
should be taken off the treasury i'm
mediately. We haven't even begun
to spend. Total defense may cost
us as much as SO billions more
but we've got to have it.
But I think he is wrong on his
other point. We can't pay that
now by taxes. What we most want
is enough for everybody to eat, to
wear and to enjoy at prices that
they can pay. As the President once
wisely said, taxes lie as burden on
production. What we need now is
production to the uttermost. I don't
care where the taxes are laid. They
are going to appear in higher prices
in the grocery or clothing bill of
every family. The idea that they
will check initiation (high prices) is
ridiculous. The higher taxes go, the
higher prices will go.
AS never before, for the sake of
production and war morale of our
people, we need low prices. The
only kind of higher taxes that we
should have is the kind that will COM
pletely take away any gain that in
f1ationary war spectators could
make by turning their money into
things now and selling them at some
later speculative boom-high to keep
their money total intact.
All this may sound heretical to
some capitalists, but I am now think
ing of only one thing: Avoiding the
greatest danger to all of our people
the prevention of war imitation.

BUNDISTS EMPLOYED IN
DEFENSE PLANTS


Dies committee agents have Sc
cretly warned government authori-
ties to be on guard against an out
break of sabotage in defense plants
on the West coast.
According to the Dies-men, big
gest u. S. danger spot is Los Ange-
les, where Nazi and Communist fifth
columnists have been unusually ac-
tive of late. The Los Angeles area
contains one of the largest concen-
trations of defense work in the coun-
try.
One reason for the D-men's fear
was their discovery of a secret mail
ing list of $500 names in raid on
the Los Angeles headquarters of the
German-American Bund. Herman
Schwinn, West coast Bund fuehrer,
admitted, under questioning, that the
list consisted of Nazi sympathizers
who regularly attended Bund meet
ings.
A check-up of the names revealed
the startling fact that 300 of them
are employed in airplane plants,
shipyards, oil refineries, auto fac
tories and other key defense indus
tries.

SPANISH RRIRE

partment has dwindled in size and
strength since Europe's tragic his
tory proved the fallacy of their
course in Spain. However, they are
still strong enough to urge loan Cor
gift) of 500, 100000 from the Export
Import bank to General Franco, die
tator of Spain.
Furthermore, it may be that the
career clique will get away with it.
They urge that the hundred mil
lions be advanced to Spain in order
to keep Franco from coming into the
war against England. They claim
that if Spain has enough food, the
country will remain neutral. And it
is the British, whose fumbling in
Spain was even more responsible
than ours for the present danger to
Gibraltar, who now want the United
States to bail them out with hun
dred million dollars.
Confidential military reports from
Spain, however, indicate three
things: first, the Spanish people are
so fed up with three years of bloody
civil war that they won't fight in
any foreign war not of their choos-
ing; second, Spain is so badly de-
Tended that her harbors would be
easy targets for the British fleet;
third, the Spanish people actually
are near revolt, which is the secret
reason why Franco wants the hum
dred million. Without food, the old
Loyalist government might come
back again.
In other words, it looks as if the
career clique inside the state de-
partment is still trying to keep in
power the man they secretly backed
during the Spanish civil war.
CRACK IN THE SOUTH
The Solid South was cracked in
the recent election, but not by a
Republican. 1t was the work of a
Nashville, Tenn, Democrat, in the
only hard-fought congressional bat
tie in the entire South.
Hero of the saga was J. Percy
Priest, crack newsman of the Nash
vile Tennessean, who, running as an
Independent, unSeated two term
Rep. Joseph w. Byrns Jr., son of
the late speaker of the house of
representatives.
Priest defeated Byrns although
the district hadn't elected anyone
but a regular Democrat since the
Civil war, and although he commit
ted the faux pas of failing to regis
ter so he could vote.
Priest, however, had other strong
advantages on his side. For many
years he has been his papers 'good
will' reporter, attending barbecues,
fairs, graduationS and civic gather
ings. Practically everybody in the
district knows "Perce" Priest per-
sonally. Also, Byrns, first elected as
a New Dealer, had chalked up a
near perfect anti-Roosevelt record.
Priest also made much of the fact
that Byrns' speech against the draft
bill had won thunderous applause
from the Republicans. Nashville
generally is strong for national de-
tense and FDR. So while Byrns
won denomination, he found a real
fight on his hands when Priest threw
his hat into the ring as an Independ-
ent.
Byrns sent out frantic SOS to
house colleagues and Rep. Sam
Hobbs dashed up from Alabama to
stump for him. But it was no go.
Byrns was defeated in the only DEM
ocratic upset in the entire South.
Note-Priest's constituency is
known as the Hermitage district"
because it was the home of Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson, patron saint
of the Democratic party. The new
congressman is 40 years old and
unmarried.
