A three-day convention Of the
National Guard Association of the
United States-expected to attract
more than 300 National Guard

Hotel here Monday.
Keynote of the session will be
methods of best fitting National
Guard troops for military service.

effects of the Selective Service Act.
Addresses also will be made by
officers Of the Army general staff

ing with the staff.
The convention originally was
scheduled October II, 10 and 10 at
San Antonio, Tex, but was shifted
to Washington by officials who
learned that few regular officers
could attend at San Antonio. 1t also
was felt that Guard officers would
have the benefit of consultation with
Regular Army leaders here

Two Accused in Theft
Of Il Tons of Type Metal

The theft of IL tons of type metal
was charged to two men who were
being held by wondering police to-
day.
The value of the stolen metal was
set at $4,000 and the victim was the
Washington Post. One of the men
charged was a porter at the Post
plant.
The porter came to work early in
the morning and each day, accord
ing to police, would remove two
heavy plates from the press room.
The plates, molds of a newspaper
page, weigh around so pounds.
When the days work was done,
the porter would drive away with
the plates, the police charge. His
name was given as Leroy Mills, 26,
colored, of 1901 I street NE, and
he was charged with grand larceny
and possession of concealed
weapon.
Police say he sold the lead plates
to William F. McNey, "a, of 1874 T
street Sc, who was charged with
receiving stolen property. The
thefts had occurred over a period
of several weeks, police say.

We propose in the interests OF
Justice and in the interests OF ma
tional defense, to broaden the work
and extend the benefits of both these
agencies. For they are a part OF
the lines of defense behind the 1lrst

other industries; educating them to

against that way of life which lg-
nores the individual.
The n thing which must be ex-
tended if we would help the young
men and women of the nation, is to
give them an opportunity to work.
We have recognized that to the
right to vote, to learn, to speak,
to worship, we your government,
add the right to work.
Definite Goal
We have that definite goal toward
which we are aiming. We believe
that if boys or girls on reaching en-
ployment age have been unable to
get a job in private industry, the
government owes them the duty of
furnishing them with the necessary
training to equip them for employ.

the next four years to make our Oh
jective-work for every young man
and woman in America - a living
fact.
Tonight there is one more false
charge one outrageously f | S e
charge-made to strike terror into
the hearts of our citizens. 1t is a
charge that offends every political
and religious conviction that I hold
dear. 1t is the charge that this
administration wishes to lead this
country into war.
This charge is contrary to every
fact, every purpose OF the past eight
years. Throughout these years my
every act and every thought has
been directed to the end of preserv.
Ping the peace of the world. and more
particularly, the peace of the United
States - the peace of the western
hemisphere.

that deficit has been wiped out, aid
corporations are reporting profits of

And yet they say this administra-

Sane Business
If it is true that the New Deal
is the enemy of business, and that
the republican leaders, who brought
t~business to the brink of ruin in
1892, are the friends of business -
then I can only say that American
business should continue to be saved
from its friends.
The output of our factories and
mines is now almost thirteen per
cent greater than at the peak of
1929-1929, mind you, not 1882. It
is at the highest level ever re-
corded.
We have passed the time when
the prosperity of the nation is mea-
sured in terms of the stock ticker.
We know that the well being of a
people is measured by the manner
in which they live, by the security
which they feel in the future.
For the American people as a
whole-the great body of its citi-

creased well above that of 1929.
We do not advertise "a chicken in
every pot" or two cars in every
garage" We know it is more i'm
portant that the American people
this year are building more homes,
are buying more pairs Of shoes. more
washing machines, more electric
refrigerators, more electric current,
more textile products, than in the
boom year of 1929.
This year there will be placed on
the tables of America far more but
ter. more cheese. more meat. more
canned goods-more food than in the
luxurious year of 1929.
Last Sunday morning 1 had to
laugh when I read the following in
the financial section of the New
York Times-a paper which is re-
puted not to love me too much. This
is what an editor Of the financial
page of the New York Times said;
[ quote, "The federal reserve board
in the week added another point
to its index of production for Sep
TENDER, and the figures now stands
at n hundred and twenty-five, or
thirteen and a half percent above
the 1929 average"-mind you. not
the 1882 average but the 1929 aver
age. I quote further: Dreams of
business flat on its back must come
from smoking campaign cigars or
else the speakers are talking about
some other country"
Wouldn't it be nice if the editorial
writer's of the Times could get
acquainted with their own business
experts?
Every single man, and
child has a vital interest in this re-
covery. But if it can be said to
affect any single group more than
any other, that group would be the
young men and women of America.
1t may be hard for some of O
younger people to remember the
dismal kind of world which the
youth of America faced in 1882.
The tragedy of those days has
passed. There is today in the youth
of the nation a new spirit, a new
energy, a new conviction that a
sounder and more stable economy is
being built for them.
In 1910 this generation of Amer
lean youth can truly feel that they
have a real stake in their country.
Through the Civilian Conserva-
ton corps and the National Youth
administration, millions of youth
have benefited by training, and by
education, and by jobs.
