Democracy in England
Finished, Kennedy Quoted

BY the Associated Press.
BOSTON, Nov. 9.-The Boston
Globe. in a copyrighted story, quotes
Joseph p. Kennedy. Ambassador to
Great Britain, as saying today that
democracy is finished in England
and that National Socialism would
be the result.
People call me pessimist. the
paper quotes Mr. Kennedy. Il sav
what is there to be gay about9
Democracy is all done"
The Ambassador was asked, You
mean in England or this, country,
too?" and was quoted by the Globe
as replying:
We'll. I don't know If we get
into war it will be il this country
too. A bureaucracy would take over
right off. Everything We hold dear
would be gone They tell me that
after 1918 we got it all back again
But this is different. There's a
different pattern in the world.
1T comes to a question of feed
ing people. It's all an economic
question. I told the President III
the White House last Sunday. Don t
send me so admirals and generals.
Send me a dozen real economists.
Its the loss of our foreign trade
that's going TO threaten to change
our form of government. We haven't
felt the pinch of it yet. It's ahead
of u.s."

1t is an answer to public need for
opera within the reach of those who
can't afford TO pay great deal. But,
because of the large guarantees nec-
essary to bring opera companies
here, we can't do 1t without an ade-
quate auditorium"
Miss Howry said she believed the
ideal plan would be for each city to
organize its own chorus and orches-
ira and bring in stars of opera for
local performances. Each city could
select from its own musicians and
singers the nucleus for such an or
ganiZation.
But that seems to be in the fu-
ture," she added. It's something
that no city has been able to work
out yet"
In addition to Miss HoWry and
Mrs. Bacon. other members of the
board of the association are Mrs.
Charles J. Bell, Mrs. Bennett Champ
Clark, Mrs. Tracy Dows, Mrs. James
S. Parker. Stanton j. Peelle. Andrew
Wylie and Mrs. Lawrence Townsend.

cause. That cause was dedicated
to well-known principles which
must continue TO be articulate. ANY
unity which would attempt to deny
this essential and legitimate func-
ton would be totalitarian unity. Not
even the majority-or at least very
little of it-on November in
tended to vote to end the two-party
system, and with it the end of a
representative republic.
THE Republican party must CO.
operate with the new administra-
ton to the last possible limit in pur-
suit of united American welfare
Politics, as such, should adjourn
and this applies to the majority as
well as the minority. But the Re-
publican party is not required to
surrender its principle nor to sus-
pend its critical vigilance. On the
contrary, it is required to vigorously
represent more than 81 ,000,0 900 voters
who just gave its presidential nomi-
nee the largest vote ever achieved
by us. There were two mandates,
not just one, in the recent election

The question of immediate ad-
journment is complicated by gen
tleman's' agreement entered into by
Senate Majority Leader Barkley
that no important business should
be transacted until November 18,
week from tomorrow Speaker
Rayburn indicated that he did not
wish to do anything that might en-
barraSs Senator Barkley.
The Democrats have large ma
jorities in both houses of Congress
and can force an adjournment II
their desire. When the question of
adjournment was broached five or
six weeks before the elections, how
ever, sufficient number of Demo-
Gratis indicated they would vote
against an adjournment to prevent
such action. Some of them have
already said again they did not be-
lieve that Congress should leave
Washington at this time.

Appreciation Campaign Called
Spur to Move for Opera Here
Distribution Of Records by The Stor
Is Splendid Ideo, Miss Howy Says

Expressing enthusiastic approval
OF The Stars opera appreciation
program, Miss Elizabeth Butler
Howry, president of the board of the
Washington Opera Association, Inc,
yesterday voiced a belief that this
campaign will stimulate public sup
port Of efforts to give Washington
its own grand opera.
ITS splendid idea" Miss Howry
said after hearing details of The
Stars plan of distributing record
ings Of II operate works. Such a
program gives those who seldom
hear opera an opportunity to famil-
iarize themselves with operate inu-
sic, and helps to keep alive the hope
that the city some day will have its
own opera"
Miss Howry has been one of the
leaders in efforts to bring grand
opera to the Capital, and she be-
lieves the only big obstacle now is
the lack OF large auditorium suit
able for opera presentations.
Association Formed IL Years Ago.
Eleven years ago the late Mrs.
Wilson-Greene, professional i'm
presario, who had suffered large
losses in the grand opera field, asked
Miss Howry If she would organize
a group of citizens to underwrite
appearances of the Metropolitan
Opera Co. here.
The result was the Washington
Opera Association, civic enterprise
formed to bring grand opera within
the reach Of those who couldn't
afford to pay very much. At Miss
Howrys request, Mrs. Robert Low
Bacon served as the first president.
For three years. this group raised
the necessary financial guarantee
to bring the best opera to the city.
Four performances were given each
year in the Fox (now the Capitol
Theater, the last series in 1881.
Ready to Start Again.
But the association is still in ex-
istence," Miss Howry said, "and we
are ready to start all over again
when the chance comes. The asso-
citation is not out to make money.

IN agent for the GeStapo nor an
agent for the German government" ."
The former Military Attache and
soldier OF France asserted that

ican writer's and authors were ri
diculous.'

the newspapers, radio and news
reels in this country, at a time
when, just after the collapse Of
France, confidence in Great Brit
ain was somewhat impaired.
Count de Chambrun said at that
time he predicted publicly that
Great Britain would not bow to
the Germans and that despite the
capitulation of France the British
Army and feet would continue to
fight.
Just Private Citizen.
An international lawyer. with Of
fees in New York and Paris, Count
de Chambrun declared he was not

tice which was interrupted by the
war"

lie he had acted as liaison officer
between the British and French,

!
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The National
Association of State Universities
expressed "unalterable opposition"
| tonight TO any legislation granting
| all college and university students
deferment under the Selective Serv-
ice Act.
The association adopted q report
of its Committee on Military Affairs
which said:
Special provision for ali college
students as a group Is contrary to
sound public policy, and is contrary
to the best interests Of educational
institutions in the long run. There
Is no sound reason why young men
OF draft age as a group should be
permitted to defer their military
service simply because they happen
to be students in an institution OF
higher education"
Willard Heads Committee.
The committee was composed of
President Arthur Cults Willard of
the University of Illinois, chairman:
President c. S. Boucher of the
University of Nebraska, and Presi-
dent Fred Engelhardt of the Uni
versity of New Hampshire.
Other committee recommendations
adopted by the associatio included:
Strengthening of the r. o. T. c.,
and a reorganization of its instruc-
ton TO supplement instead of dupli-
cate the type of military training
planned for draftees
A special summer military train
ing program to qualify graduate
students for reserve commissions
instead Of just year of military
training" under the selective service
program.
Training Corps Opposed.
President Willard said a Joint
committee OF his association and of
the Association of Land Grant COL
leges had adopted report express
ing opposition TO installation of a
students training corps in these in
stltutlons, as was done in the last
war.
The report recommended that II
IN an extreme emergency" the
Government found it necessary to
take over any colleges for training
or other purposes the regular aca-
demlc program under civilian ad-
mlnistration of the institutions con-
cerned shall be discontinued and
their facilities Of plant and staff
made available with the consent of
the State and Federal authorities
even though this would mean
that military administration would
be IN charge of all activities in the
institutions involved and presum-
ably that students of non-draft age
would be returned to their homes
or other Unaffected institutions
to make room for men of draft age"

A blond youth from the West

Selectee to be given a physical eX-
animation in preparation for being
ordered into service with the first
group.
Andrew Blaz Candelaria, "a, of

ined by DR.. Clayton Hawfield at
1916 Sixteenth street soon after he
appeared before Local Board No. l3
and volunteered for immediate serv-
ice. His draft number was lot and
it was the 2.140th drawn in the
national lottery.
Mr.. Candelaria came TO the Dis
trict three months ago from the
University of New Mexico. where,
running short of funds in his junior
year, he obtained a civil service rat
ing as an elevator operator. He
was given a job at the Civil Serv-

eventually to resume studies in
Washington. His ambition is to be-
come an educator.
18th Child in Family of IA.
The thirteenth child in a family
of ID, Mr.. Candelaria explained the
reason for volunteering thus:
MY parents came from Mexico
to Ell Paso. Tex, where I was
born, and they couldn't send me to
school. I couldn't get a job, and
so I went into the Civilian Con-
servation Corps and I was there
for three years. The C. C. C. was
good to me. I was permitted to
attend the University of New Mex
leo and finally the university gave
me job as a mail carrier to help
pay tuition.
When I passed the civil service
examination, I hoped to continue
my studies here m Washington But
now that the draft has come I feel
that I'm paying back taxes by VOL
unteering. It's got to be done some
