1t could put these American ma
chimes to profitable use in teaching
the technique of tank operations in
Canadian training camps. II the
War Department feels that these
tanks are not needed for the Army,
1t Is to be hoped that arrangements
can quickly be made for their sale to
Canada.
In addition to trading overage de-
stroyers for naval air base sites in
British possessions in the Western
Hemisphere, the United States has
sold to Great Britain old rifles, ma
chine guns and ammunition. Canada
is seeking military supplies from the
United States as well as tanks. It is
plainly to our interest to make avail
able to Great Britain, and, the Do
minions fighting with her against
the totalitarian powers, military
equipment not needed by the Army
and Navy. By SO doing, we will
strengthen Britain In her hour of
grave peril, and thus contribute to
lessening the chances of a later to-
talitarian attack on the New World.
In making available to Britain and
Canada military equipment, we
should always bear in mind, however,
our own requirements. No supplies
should be released that cannot safely
be spared. This is a question that
must be decided, in each instance, by
our national defense agencies.

Limitation on Profits

In passing the CONSUMPTION bill
last week, the Senate approved an
amendment, offered by Senator
Adams of Colorado, extending to
contracts for the purchase OF ord
nance supplies by the War and Navy
Departments the profit limitations
now imposed by the Vinson- Tram
nell Act on airplane and warship
manufacture. AS part OF the excess
profits tax bill, the House, on the
following day, suspended the provi-
sions of this law. The lifting of these
profit limitations is part of the ad-
ministration's program to speed ma
tional defense.
That the Senate and House are
working at cross purposes on this
matter seems plainly evident. The
amendment to limit profits on ord
nance material has no place in the
conscription bill, and should be
promptly eliminated. Otherwise, the
action of the House in suspending
the provisions of the Vinson-Tram-
nell Act will be nullified in large
part.
AS the Ways and Means Commit
tee pointed out in it's report on the
exceSs-profits bill, major objective
OF the repeal of the Vinson- -Trammell
Act is to secure uniform treatment,
for tax purposes, of all abnormal
profits resulting from the defense
program. The bill approved by the
House, and which is now before the
Senate, aims to achieve this uniform
ity by subjecting all industries to the
same excess profits taxes, including
plants engaged in manufacturing
war materials for foreign govern
ments. A profit limitation on con-
tracts with the United States Gov
ernment would not, of course, apply
to foreign orders for munitions.
In appearing before congressional
committees, War and Navy Depart
ment officials testified that existing
curbs on profits have retarded the
defense program. There is no reason
to believe that restrictions on ord
nance contracts would not have the
same unfortunate result. Such limi-
tationS require a special system Of
cost accounting, and involve a time
consuming check of the books of
subcontractors. They tend, there
fore, to delay the production of ma
terials and equipment urgently need
ed by the Army and Navy.
BY promptly passing the tax bill,
the Senate will remove the need for
the imposition of a statutory ceiling
on the earnings of specific defense
industries. With the enactment of
this measure, the Government will
recapture a large part Of any alb
normal profits resulting from the
preparedness program, and all busi-
ness will be subjected to the same
taxes. In the long run, this will be
fairer to all concerned.

Defense Problem

Half the caddies at the White
marsh Club in Philadelphia have left
the course to 60 into defense work
or the Army, leaving, on the same
basis, about half the golfers holding
the bag, which may, according to the
latest laws, contain fourteen clubs
and number of balls, depending
upon the handicap of the player.
Thus loaded, it constitutes an intoI-
cradle burden to middle-aged golfers,
who are therefore indirectly forced
out by Hitler.
To relieve this dangerous situation,
the caddie master is putting on a
recruiting drive, under difficulties
similar to those of the Army. A
caddie cannot be made overnight, out
of raw youth brought up in pagan
fashion with no reverence for the
game. 1t takes weeks to cure them
of the habit of whistling while they
work, and months not to cough just
as the boss starts his downswing,
and not to laugh when they see him
go into a complicated windup which,
If used on the mound in the Yankee
Stadium, would give plenty of time
for base runner to steal all the way
home from first and come in stand
ing up.
The prospective caddie must forget
much he learned in school, and pick
up the elements of golf arithmetic, in
which three strokes on the fairway,
four in the rough, and four on the
green add, not to eleven, but to five,
except when the opponent has been
watching too closely. Also, unless
he has had the advantage of pre-
vious association with gangsters, it
takes time to corrupt his morals to
the point where he will automatically
kick the ball out of hole and give
his employer q good lie.

Tanks for Canada

Because military equipment is ur-
gently needed to train her expanding
army, Canada's request for obsolete
American tanks merits sympathetic
consideration by administration off,
cials. Though the War Department
has several hundred old tanks, both
medium and light, of World War
vintage, Congress forbade their use
seven years ago. According to Gen.
eral George C. Marshall, chief of
staff, they are not worth the cost of
upkeep in repairs and gasoline. With
a speed of only three miles an hour,
it is obvious that they are of little, If
any, value to the American Army.
Canada, however, faces a different
problem. With two divisions already
in Britain, and other units being
prepared for overseas service, few
modern tanks are available for train
ing purposes in the Dominion. The
Canadian government believes that

Dear Sir:
Local cat fanciers may be interested
to learn that there exist several cats in
this community who are not interested
In birds, either wild or Gagged, nearly as
much as rodents, field mice, moles,
grasshoppers and snakes.
"This is the story about an ordinary
alley cat that wandered into the garage
as tiny kitten and was adopted and
raised to maturity in fashionable
apartment until the age of five years,
when she was moved to the wooded estate
OF her mistress, where she is now thor
oughly acclimated.
"This cat Is pure white, gray tail, and
has reached the ripe old age of ten years
with no more change of diet than shrimp,
liver and salmon, but no bread and milk.
~ &*&
"Her chief diversion is rounding up
moles, field mice and large grasshoppers
apd an occasional snake, but having none
Of the traditional tendency for chasing
birds.
"She Is only interested in her game
as long as 1t moves and displays the
cunning of the average cat in sneaking
up and charming her game into sub
mission, always bringing it to the door
step as trophies of the hunt.
"She chases large dogs from the prem
ises and other cats that stray onto the
place.
During February house guest ar
rived, and the cat took a strong liking
to the young man, sleeping on the foot
of his bed each night, until recently she
had noticed him packing bags and load
ing his personal effects into a car pre-
paratory to moving.
"Just before he drove of, after putting
the last parcel in the rumble seat, he
reached for the auto robe only to find
the cat curled up, far back in the enclo-
sure, with that ttake-me-with-you express
sion on her face.
This leads me to believe that cats
can be capable of the same adhesive
quality that typifies dogs, especially the
Airdale, one of which I have owned
for over 10 years.
Sincerely yours, o. c."

Cats are interesting animals, if you
are interested in animals. Many persons
are not. A great many persons who like
dogs cannot become interested in the
cat. But in some ways the cat is the
most interesting animal of the two. 1t
has an unpredictable psychology, where
as the dog always runs true to a pattern.
That cats can have an affectionate
regard for some one member of a fam
lily is very well known. No dog can be
"one-man dog" any more than some cats
can be "one-man cats"
Usually this is reserved for some male
member of the family.
One tiger kitten was taken out of a
cage in downtown pet store.
Ever thereafter the cat has shown a
great fondness for this person, follow
ing MIN all over the house, and prefer
ring his bed to all others.
1t is not generally realized, even among
the friends of cats, that there are two
great branches of the breed, the fish
eaters and the meat eaters.
Ordinarily the cat which likes fish will

Sees Air Base Deal
As Blow to Hitler.
By Thomas r. Henry.
To the Editor of The Sta

To the Editor Of The Star.
It is amusing to note the various reac-
tons to the leasing of air and naval
bases in British possessions in the Allan
tic. Almost every large newspaper in
the United States, except the st. Louis
Post-Dispatch, hailed it as down pay
ment on our national security.
Yet Washington morning newspaper
carried dispatch from the financial
district of New York which said that
speculative ardor was greatly dampened
by this action, some timid investors ap-
parently believing it step toward war.
1t is laughable to note the many and
varied excuses Matched up by speculative
forces of the Nation to hide their fear.
The average American is gladdened
by the news because he realizes it is
a step, not toward war, but toward
peace. Hitler took hard right to the
jaw from the fist of Uncle Sam in the
deal. Z. II. ALEXANDER.

Bishop Freeman Indorses
Presidents Call to Prayer.
To ,be Editor ~ tn Q.or


The President of the United States
having designated Sunday, September 8,
as a special day of prayer and supplica-
ton in behalf of world peace, a solemn
obligation is laid upon US to comply with
his request. All other means have failed
to effect an orderly and peaceful world,
and the only hope of insuring it resides
in humble and reverent turning to the
only source of life and peace, to the
God of men and nations. Not alone on
this designated day, but on every day,
it behooves us to be instant in prayer
that the tragic strife now in progress
may speedily cease. Prayer must be sup
plemRnted by penitence and a rededica-
ton of our lives to God. As leaders of
worship, as pastors of souls, as fearless
prophets of the eternal Gospel, we have
a more solemn and weightier RESPONSE
bility than we have hitherto known.
With chastened humility and firm
resolve to give spiritual leadership to
our people let us summon them to this
day of rededication and prayer.
May the God of all peace sustain us.
JAMES &. FREEMAN,
September S. Bishop of Washington.
