Fiqhtinq Fire With Fire

You can't fight against totalitarian country
without going toaltaran yourse-at least for the time
The British and French are finding that out For seven
years. Htlers Germany has been making its people work
longer and harder The extra production instead of going
to the people to make life better has been flung into prep
aration for the war.
Now the British and French out to destroy such
SYSTEM find that in fighting they have to do about the
same thing.
As early as last November John Maynard Keynes Brit
lsh economist put forth plan elaborated into book
rHow to Pay for the War; Details aside Keynes proposes
that each wage family be allowed only specified
income based present normal subsistence needs The
rest of its income would be taken at the and credited
to him savings.
After the war; at such times the government decided
purchasing power was needed that is when the inevitable
slump coes these compulsory savings would be paid back
TO those who had earned, but not received them.
Keynes these results Peoples allowed income would
allowed to consume The wartime race between rising
prices and would be avoided Prices would be rgor
ousy controlled; increases would be allowed only
living costs in spite Of controls.
It will be readily that this is just about what is
done in anyway, except that it compulsory and
systematic whereas voluntary savings remember Lib
erty Bonds and Thrift Stamps) are htor-miss Keynes
argues that civilians must less that be
put into the effort The way to do it is simply to
to it that they don't have money beyond actual need
Then the production turns to civilian goods
again. and the savings funds paid back to people they
buy them.
In Canada too Graham F. Towers governor Of the Bank
Of Canada has strongly suggested that income must
not be spent for private purposes but state for
war purposes, in one way or another.
It won't be any harder to pay these savings back to
everybody than to pay debts back to those who put
the money Keynes argues, but If is just have
whopping capital levy.
Whether Keynes plan is adopted in full total war must
eventually something very like this Free countries
fighting totaarianism have choice but to become them
selves otaarian with the hope that after the they
win be able somehow to scramble back to free way Of
life again.

PROTESTS BRIDGE
OPENING DATE

Editor. The Times: It seems
to me the committee which set
the opening date of the Mar
rows bridge as Monday, July i,
did not consider the people who
have to work. Saturday would
be a conceivably better day be-
cause factory workers and build
ing and trades members have
that day off. All, of course,
want to attend the opening cele-
bration.
In my opinion, July 4, 5, or
Z would be better dates. We can
hardly expect our employers to
give us Monday and Thursday
off, especially in view of the
fact Saturday is considered a
holiday by most unions, calling
for wage payment of time and
one-half.
The set date may be satisfac-
tory TO those who work by the
month, or who are employed on
public Jobs. Maybe they had a
good reason for setting the date,
but I. for one, would like to hear
from others on the subject.
II the date can not be chang
ed. I would like to see our new
mayor, Harry Cain. declare it
a legal holiday, giving all a
chance TO witness this moment
Gus occasion.

.StOriesi in
Stamps
Carol of Rumonio Heads
Stamp Portrait Gallery

IF there's any country in the
world that is certain of what its
ruler looks like, it is Rumania.
King Carol II. pictured on the
Rumanian issue above, has his
portrait on no less than SO stamps
of his realm and 1910 releases may
increase the total.
Excluding colonial possessions,
Carol tops the list of rulers on
stamps. with Victor Emmanuel III
Of Italy second, and Queen Will
helmina of the Netherlands and
Boris of Bulgaria contending for
third. From a standpoint of du-
ration Of appearance in philately's
gallery, Queen Wilhelmina is first,
having ruled since 1890.
Carol first appeared on Ru-
manian stamps in 1880, following
his dramatic return from exile
and accession to the throne. The
boy King Michael was relegated
to the status of crown prince and
stamps bearing his picture were
overprinted to celebrate Carols
return.
Carol and Michael were pictured
together on Rumania's Boy Scout
Jamboree issue Of 1881.

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY, MAY !

&"A<k1AthAf EAh4 II
Benefic aspects rule today.
There is a sign read as of great
promise to labor which will
benefit through wise compro-
misses. Good news Of national
interest is presaged. Political
leaders are subject to q sway
that is fortunate.
HEART AND HOME: In the
afternoon the stars smile upon
young folks who will be for
tunate In educational matters.
Serious interest in study will be
emphasized among college
students. Parents should insist
that both boys and girls be
trained as practical wage-earn-
ers. The need Of general con-
tributions to the family budget
Is stressed by the seers.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Trade
and commerce viii continue good
as exports increase. Manufac-
turing win reach a high degree
of success as building Of airships
and naval vessels progresses.
This month 10 to be decisive in
its effect upon plans for the
Summer. In prosperous days
warning Of the future Is given
since this country cannot escape
the aftermath OF foreign wars.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Ameri-
can courage win be indicated by
the number of men willing to
accept the responsibility Of
President. The stars are read
as presaging surprises and yet
as encouraging the choice Of a
Chief Executive with wide ex-
perience. This Is believed to be
fortunate for the political party
now in power and may presage
success for third-term support
ers.
INTERNATIONAL AF-
FAIRS: Palestine will demand
attention from the British Gov
eminent as conflict between con-
tending factions causes more
loss Of life. Problems connected
with the Dominions and Colonies
OF Great Britain will multiply
and win be increased by sub
versive influences. This month
Is to be marked by great world
upheavals despite peace move
ments.
Persons whose hirthdate II II
have the sugury OF a year OF
good prospects and happy days.
Both men and women should
make much Of their opportuni-
ties.
Children born on this day win
be keenly intuitive and intelli-
gent. They are likely TO be gen.
erous, friendly and fortunate.

Japanese aggression has been
well known to navy heads for
many years. He has expounded
his views in the naval institutes
magazine for two decades, twice
winning gold prizes for his writ
ings. Two navy bigwigs-Admi-
raj Stark. chief Of operations,
and Admiral Nimitz, chief or
navigation - knew in advance
that he was to appear before
the senate committee, and what
he would probably say. But they
made no move to block his APP
pearance or to censor him. The
suspicion grows that they were
only too happy to let him utter
predictions which they dare not
espouse in their official capacity.
Admiral Taussig's sponsors,
ironically, were members of the
National Peace Conference, an
organization of professed paci-
fists. They were given the OPP
portunity by Senate Naval AZ
fairs Chairman Walsh to submit
a list of witnesses they would
like to have heard on the prob
lem of Naval expansion.
The conference secretary
Mauritz A. Hallgren-submitted
Is names. including Expert
Hanson w. Baldwin of the New
York Times, Admiral Harry E.
Yarnell, Major George Fielding
Eliot and Admiral Taussig. The
ones willing to testify were Ma
jor Eliot and Admiral Taussig.
Through navy channels the COM
mittee asked for Admiral Taus-
sig's appearance, and he was
ordered up from his station at
Norfolk. Apparently the peace
people knew of the Roosevelt
Taussig feud. and figured that
the naval officer would be glad
to seize this chance to spike the
White House program. II so, he
disappointed them.
The question which precipi-
tated the prediction of a war
with japan was asked by Chair
man Walsh, and in reply Admi-
raj Taussig read a prepared
statement. He also testified that
his views were based on a vol
luminous correspondence with
Admiral Yarnell, who command
ed the Asiatic Squadron for
several years during the Sino-
Japanese war and received a
D. S. C. for his distinguished
performance there. So, despite
disciplining threats, 1t appears
that the admiral told the realis-
tic truth which his superiors
dare not whisper. He will not
be court-martialed.

corning Arthur Kinsella, a resi-
dent OF Cascades, Washington

As described in the Scien-
tific American, Kinsella's ma
chine was operated by an en-
CINE driven by compressed hy-
drogen gas. Fans operated by
the engine forced air into n
chamber from which IL issued
under high pressure through
tubes extending out Of the
back Of the machine. The
pressure Of the air against
the atmosphere was supposed
to drive the machine forward,
operating on the principle Of
the rocket.
The body Of the machine con-
sisted Of a frame of wood and
steel over which was stretched
several thicknesses of tightly
woven rattan. The engine was
patterned after a new design in
steam engines which came out
about Civil war time but oper-
ated with compressed gas in
