TO FIGHT OR NOT?

TO FIGHT OR NOT?
Should we preserve our position
in the Far East, by force of arms
if necessary?
NO, said Griswold He has writ
ten repeatedly that it was bad
move for the United States ever
to have taken on the responsible
ity Of the Philippines He believes
the country now thinks the same.
The Washington and London
naval treaties, the Philippine in
defendence act, and last but not
least the eash-and-carry neutral
ity law showed very substantial
qualification Of the commanded
the-sea doctrine" he said.
Did Captain Puleston agree
with him? He did not. He reflects
the naVy's almost unanimous view
that the theories of sea power out
lined a generation ago by Captain
Mahan are more in force now than
ever before
when Americans realize" he
said, that the best naval defense
is a naval offense, I am convinced
they will provide the necessary
bases for the American fleet in
the Far East. (These. no doubt,
would be either in the Philip
pines or at Guam. or both)
IF the Philippines did not eX-
list, it would still be necessary fer
the United tates to protect its
interest in the Far East, he con-
tinued.

Sales Income Tax
Or Some Other Lew,
Donovan Declares
Auditor Tells Women
Additional D. G. Revenue
Is SoreIy Needed

Proposed legislation providing q
sales tax for the District, coupled
with an income tax on salaries over
10000, would provide additional
revenue badly needed by the Dis
trict as going concern" Auditor
Daniel ]. Donovan told the District
Federation Of Women's Clubs today.
Maj. Donovan declared that pro-
ponents realized there will be q
fight against the sales tax, but that
if 1t is not adopted, some other
means must pe found to provide
new revenue.
He estimated that under the pres
ent income levy the District will
be confronted with q revenue deficit
of about 100000 at the close OF
the fiscal year, and that under
present budget estimates this figure
would be advanced to 81 800, 900 next
year.
These deficits would occur even
If the present income tax covered
all residents Of the District, regard
less Of their legal residential claim.
Maj. Donovan pointed out that
1t was the objective of those design
ing the proposed sales tax to lessen
the burden on the man in the street
by accompanying 1t with a personal
income levy on persons with salaries
of over $4,000.
He urged the women to bear in
mind that the population OF the
District Is growing and its demands
as well as its costs are increasing.
Under the present tax program
the income tax levy would raise
about 81 900 900, If all residents OF
the District were taxed, and the
per cent corporation tax, ap-
proximately $4,000 900, he declared
This. he added, would result In q
loss in local revenue OF approximate
ly $4,000 900 over last year, when the
intangible personal property tax
raised approximately 5000 900 and
the business privilege tax, $4,000 900
Even with the increase Of $1,000, 600
in the Federal payment over last
year, there is 4 net loss Of 81 900 900

Lawrence, I Others
Go on Trial Today
In Pennsylvania
Mueine' Of State Workers
For Political Contributions
Laid to Democrats
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa, March 25.-
State Democratic Chairman David
L. Lawrence and seven other men,
bers of his party went on trial to-
day on charges of conspiring to
mace" or assess State workers for
Political contributions under threat
of dismissal or demotion.
The charges resulted from accusa-
tions hurled during the 1898 Demo-
cratic State primary campaign. A
grand jury investigation brought in
dictments of number of high Dem
ocrats in the Little New DEAL ad-
ministration of former Gov. Earle,
now Minister to Bulgaria, and con-
viction of three men in a series of
trials.
Acquitted of Blackmail.
District Attorney Carl B. Shelley
charged in his petition for the grand
jury investigation that Mr.. Lawrence
and his co-defendants sought to
solicit State employees for contribu-
tions totaling s2,0O0,000. during the
Earle administration. He contended
employees earning UP to $1,000 an
nually were required to donate per
cent of their salaries and those
earning more were asked for S per
cent.
Mr.. Lawrence. who served as Sec
retary of the Commonwealth under
Gov. Earle, was acquitted last sum-
mer of hlackmail and extortion
charges resulting from the grand
jury investigation
Other defendants charged with
conspiracy include Ralph M
Bashore, secretary of the State
Democratic Committee and secre-
AIRY of labor and industry in the
Earle cabinet. and Carl K. Deem
resident secretary Of the party.
Party Workers Indicted.
Five minor party workers have
been indicted on both conspiracy
and extortlon charges. They are
Frank R. Hean. former secretary OF
the State Pardon Board; Robert M
Eager, William B. Freeland, Wen
dell Morgenthaler and Clyde H.
Smith.
The eight will be tried together
on the conspiracy charge. Trial of
the five for extortion will follow.
Previous trials resulted in convic-
tion Of Roy E. Browumiller. former
State secretary of highways. on
charges of failing to halt padding
Of State highway payrolls, and of
James P. Kirk and Victor Skok,
Pittsburgh insurancemen, of con-
spring to monopolize the bonding
business on road contracts. All
three have appealed their sentences
and fines to the State Superior
Court.

No departure from the traditional
American military policy Of building
up combat infantry of trained
marksmen is contemplated because
of the adoption Of the Garand semi
automatic rife as the standard in
fantry arm of the United States
Army, according to spokesmen fo1
the War Department.
Since the beginning, the American
soldier has depended for battle su-
periority on aimed rifle fire. Euro
pean tactics, on the contrary, since
the earliest days of gunfire, have
called for laying down blanket"
of fire and individual soldiers as 4
rule were not trained as marksmen.
The tendency toward an unaimed,
blanket or area fire method seems
to have grown rather than decreased
with the improvement abroad of
automatic and semi-automatic In
fantry weapons.
Fear had been expressed that the
adoption by the United States Army
Of the new Garand rifle. a gas
operated rifle equipped to fire with
almost machine-gun speed, would
lead to abandonment of the old,
! time -tested policy which been
the foundation Of American MILL
tary success since the days when the
long rifles of the old frontiersmen
smashed the formations, of the finest
veterans Of Europe's armies.
Claim Accuracy Improved.
! Nothing is further from the truth,
according to military leaders who
have been supervising tests of the
new Garand rife in the hands of I'll
types of soldiers. from raw recruits
who never have fired a military
weapon to veterans of the target
ranges. They express the belief,
based upon the results Of firing Of
thousands of rounds of ammunition
under simulated combat conditions,
that the battle accuracy of Amer
ican doughboys will be improved,
rather than diminished, by adoption
of the Garand in place of the
Springfield, which has been the
standard infantry weapon for nearly
three decades.
Although admitting that there has
been some controversy among
military personnel over the COM
parative efficiency Of the Garand
and the Springfield. military au-
thorities express the belief that it
will be only question of time be-
fore the Garand is recognized as
the best infantry weapon yet de-
! veloped in this country or abroad.
