Droopey-That would be terrible.
Stoopey-But it would be what we
have been working toward all along!
Droopey-No; the winner would
still have his hate left. What would
he do with that?
Stoopey Observation-Disclosures the
hard part. A man would have to
hate somebody. 1t would be part of
his nature after all these years.
Droopey-Yeah. But there'd be
nobody he could hate, except him
self. You couldn't hate yourself.
Stoopey-There would be nothing
else to do. And at this stage of
hatreds it would be easy
Droopey-There must be some
way out. Let's compromise. Let's
call it off. You and I as the last
two survivors can then hate each
other and be quite happy about it.
Stoopey (suspiciously)-How do I
know I could trust you? The first
thing / know you might soften up
and want to be friendly.
Droopey-There was time when
you wouldn't have thought that a
bad idea.
Stoopey-I know, but this hate
business has gone on so long it's
become a habit. I'm an addict.
So are you.
Droopey-Maybe you're right. o.
K! Stop worrying. If I give you
my word to keep hating you 100 per
cent I'll keep it. And I'll expect as
much from you. (Wearily) Say,
what was everybody fighting for,
anyhow? l forget.
Stoopey-A better world. Every
body was determined to get it if it
took the last man.
Droopey-And it damned near did!

anyhow, we're near that new order,

"God Bless America" is a pretty
fine patriotic number, and it has be-
come the American song of the cri-

to protect it in the clinches. Night

lowing pretty raw interludes, mas
tiers of ceremony call for it after
their most risque moments, and, be-
lieve it or not, in one Broadway
picture and vaudeville house a fat,
coarse, faded female blues shouter
swings into it with comedian, after
they have both been giving a club
smoker atmosphere to the proceed
ings. And with an enormous Amer
lean flag as their backdrop! 1t may
be too much to expect them to see

Hanes Stresses,Need
For Early Action on
Defense Taxes
Former Treasury
Underseeretory Addresses
Princeton Graduates

Former Undersecretary of the
Treasury John w. Hanes told more
than $50 Princeton graduates at the
annual banquet of the Princeton
Club of Washington, last night, that
America must look Immediately to
her interior defenses"-the tax
structure whereby funds to finance
President Roosevelts huge rearma-
ment program must ultimately be
raised.
BY interior defenses," he said he
did not mean protective measures
against fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth
or ninth columns" The countrys
financial structure is its real 'in-
terror Defense" he said, without
which exterior defense is impossi-
BILE"
Mr.. Hanes cautioned that now is
the time for every thinking man to
work out this problem for himself.
More misinformation regarding
taxes Is handed out by the poll
ticians of this country than on any
other subject. They preach the
gospel that taxes are paid by those
who have the ability to pay.
mo more damnable lie was ever
perpetrated on the American people
than that" he declared.
Quotes Tax Figures.
Quoting tax figures for the year
1888, he demonstrated that sales
taxes, termed excise taxes in two
dollar words" provide 40 per cent of
the income of the Federal Govern
ment.
Total income of the Federal Gov
ernment in 1888 amounted to S.
242,000,0 900, he said, adding that this
sum was derived from five we'll
defined sources.
He said customs taxes brought in

pulously sacrificed Norway, Holland
and Belgium; England declared war
on Germany, and England, not Ger

sponsibility for the war.
THAT is the truth" said DR.. Diet
rich, emphasizing that before the
start OF the conflict Germany was
ready "for the sake of peace to rec
ognize Frances borders"
Called Mean Words.
DR.. Dietrich charged that Eng
land unmasked herself completely"
with "the Kings mean and un-
knightly words about an opponent
with whom England is crossing
rapiers for death and life"
DNB, official German news
agency, in its comment on the Kings
address, said political circles felt
'the King now is in the service of
typical British propaganda methods,
which are characterized by SANDER
and hypocrisy"

and pay roll taxes, $743, ,000,0 900. The
latter, he said, the Government could
not spend.
Urges Early Action.
When he cautioned that the tax
structure or interior defenses" must
be carefully bolstered without de-
lay it was apparent that he was
alarmed at the manner in which
President Roosevelt had left the
problem of raising national defense
funds up to Congress and that Con-
gress, facing an election, so far has
said nothing of how the money is
to be raised, while approving the
armament program.
Mr.. Hanes, who resigned as Un-
dersecretary recently to return to
private business. has been regarded
as one of the countrys leading tax
experts.
Last night, however, after cau-
tioning Princeton graduates to
think it over" he offered no sug-
gestions as to what, in his opinion,
would be proper taxes to finance ma
tional defense or what tax rates
should be raised to foot the bill.
Prof. Smith Speaks.
The other speaker on the program
was Prof. Earl Baldwin Smith of
Princeton, who spoke in support of
liberal education.
More and more pressure is being
brought to bear on universities to
teach courses based on present ideals
and trends-in other words, to pro-
vide a more or less vocational edu-
cation, he said.
The dinosaur became specialized
In certain field" he said, "and
became extinct.
rs not the best education one
which is based on the concept that
the only way to deal with the fu-
ture is to have an education based
on the experience of the past?" he
asked.
The banquet, which was held at
the Chevy Chase Club, was de-
scribed by Princeton Club officers
as the biggest and most success
full Princeton banquet ever held"
in Washington. 1t was estimated
that approximately $50 persons at
tended.
Thompson Presides.
Huston Thompson, president, pre-
sided. Arthur Krock acted as toast
master. Arthur G.. Lambert was
banquet chairman and Charles T.
Tittmann was director of enter
tainment.
Mr.. Krock, whose running COM
ment on national and international
affairs was applauded enthusiastic
cally, called three toasts during the
banquet:
"To the President of the United
States"
ITO the Allies: defeat to their
enemies"
ITO the Universities of Oxford,
Cambridge, the Sorbonne, Paris,
Louvain, and all seats of learning

were John Lincoln O'Brien, presi-
dent of the Harvard Club of Wash
ington, and Darrell Smith, secre-
tary-treasurer of the University of

possible methods of speeding up
Navy plane production and pilot
training. Admiral Towers was in
structed to make this report to the
Senate Naval Committee after he
had testified yesterday that the
fleet now has only 464 combat planes
less than two years old and only 1872
less than year old.
Admiral Towers told the commit
tee that one of the chief difficulties
in any effort to expand the Navy air
force rapidly would be in training
sufficient pilots.
Congressional leaders saw start
toward solution of this problem,
however, in the announcement by
President Roosevelt yesterday that
Congress would be asked to provide
funds to expand the civil aeronau-
tics pilot training program so that
10000 fledgling flyers could be put
through primary courses before July
l, 1941.
This would provide reservoir
from which the Army and Navy
could draw young men for advanced
training courses.

LONDON, May 25.-King George
vi yesterday warned the British
Empire that defeat and invasion
by Nazi Germany would bring "the
descent of darkness" upon the ruins
of Britain's kind of world.
King George spoke to his people
around the world on Empire Day.
The young sovereign, to use his
own words, spoke plainly.
Let no one be mistaken" he said,
sit is no mere territorial conquest
that our enemies are seeking. 1t
is the overthrow, complete and final,
of this Empire and of everything
for which it stands, and after that
the conquest of the world. And If
their will prevails they will bring
to its accomplishment all the hatred
and cruelty which they have al
ready displayed /" =.
ITO all of us in this Empire, to
all men of vision and goodwill
throughout the world, the issue is
now plain: 1t is the issue of life
or death for us all. Defeat will
not mean some brief eclipse from
which we shall emerge with strength
reneWed--it will mean destruction
of our world as we have known it
and the descent Of darkness upon
its ruins"
Proudly, then, he called out across
the airlanes:
Keep your hearts proud and your
resolve unshaken! =" With God S
help we shall not fail!'
Text of Kings Speech.
The text of the Kings speech fol-
lows:
One year ago today I spoke to the
peoples of the empire from Wini-
peg in the heart of Canada. We
were at peace.
On that Empire Day I spoke of
the ideals of freedom, justice and
peace upon which our common
wealth of free peoples is founded.
Clouds were gathering, but I held
fast to the hope that those ideals
might yet achieve fuller and richer
development without suffering the
grievous onslaught of war.
But it was not to be. The evil
which we strove increasingly and
with all honesty of purpose to avert
fell upon us. In this our conscious
is clear. For there is now revealed
without possibility of mistake a
long planned scheme to subjugate
by force the nations of the world
against which all our efforts for
peace were doomed to break.
Decisive Struggle"
The decisive struggle is now UPON
us. I am going to speak plainly to
you, for in this hour of trial I know
that you would not have me do
otherwise.
Let no one be mistaken; it is no
mere territorial conquest that our
enemies are seeking. 1t is the over
throw, complete and final, of this
empire and of everything for which
it stands, and after that the con-
quest of the world. And If their will
prevails they will bring to its &C
complishment all the hatred and
cruelty which they have already
displayed. 1t was not easy for us to
believe that designs so evil could
find a place in the human mind.
But the time for doubt is long
past. To all of us in this empire,
to all men of vision and goodwill
throughout the world, the issue is
now plain: 1t is the issue of life or
death for us all. Defeat will not
mean some brief eclipse from which
we shall emerge with strength re-.
newed-it will mean destruction of
our world as we have known it and

Researcher Speaks at
!. U. G. Conference

Picturing an acute housing prob

1000 employees of the Social Security
Board and their families from Bal
timore" to Washington at the end
of the year, Morton Schaffrom,
housing research expert of the
United Federal Workers of America,
last night called on local housing
authorities to formulate a "practi-
cal. workable program"
The speaker, one of three who ad-
dressed housing conference of the
Washington Industrial Union Coun-
Gil in the Interior Department Au-
ditorium, urged the Alley Dwelling
Authority to build and operate ION
a non-profit basis large scale prof.
ects of homes renting between $25
and $40 month.
Such dwellings would supply ade-
quate housing for Washington FAM
lilies whose salaries come within
the mo mans land" range-yearly
incomes of between $1,000 and
$4,000, the speaker declared.
Reports A. d. A. Sympathetic.
He said officials of the A. D. A.
had reacted favorably" to the
plan.
Questionnaires are being circu-
lated among Government workers
and members of local unions, he
said. to gather factual data show
ing the need for housing of fami-
lies in the middle-income group.
The U. F. w. A. plan proposes
the A. D. A. borrow money needed
for construction from "a regular
lending institution" and to apply to
the Federal Housing Administration
for insurance on the borrowed
money, he explained.
Neither the Government nor pri-
vate industry is building for the
great mass of people in no mans
land incomes Cecil Owen, presi-
dent of the industrial council and
second speaker of the evening, de-
.clared.
Favors New Approach"
He blamed restraints of trade.
"outworn" craft unions, high land
costs and material costs for the
"backwardness" of housing programs.
With new approach to housing"
and group action by labor unions,
'the $2,500 home will become a
reality" President Owen said.
John Graham, jr, author and
U. S. H. A. architect, stated high
standards of Government housing
projects have had "a salutatory ef-
feet" on private building
Following an open forum discus
sion, the conference passed a num-
ber of resolutions that included ap-
pointment of special sub-commit-
tee to cooperate with tenants of

of being excluded from the COM
munity as result of pay increases
that make their incomes in excess

form of explosive is cheaper and
more easily obtained and is just as
effective. Nobody can blow up an
ammunition dump made up of these
bombs, because they're no good until
they've been charged with oxygen
and that can be done in a few

Mr.. Barlow explained to an officer,
who had been predicting exactly
what eventually happened, that
this explosion is going to make a
lot of two-legged goats, or maybe
just one" He admitted afterwards
it had made lust one"
Not Many Appear.
Not many members of the joint
congressional committee appeared
this morning. Many left on May
16 in a dissatisfied frame of mind.
However, cognizant that humane So
cieties might make one last effort
to obtain an injunction against the
use of goats for the experiment, the
delegation of seven members of Con-
gress brought along Attorney Frank
H. Harmon of the Justice Depart
ment to prevent any further halts
to the experiment.
The Army was represented by all
of its top-fiight ordnance experts,
Maj. Gen. Charles M. Wesson, chief
of ordnance; Brig. Gen. Earl Nc
Farland, assistant chief: Col. Barnes
and the Army's munitions expert,
1t. Col. K. F. Adamson.
The Navy also sent along its ex-
perts, Capt. G. L. Schuyler, head
of research dnd invention, and
Comdr. G. C. Hoover. Twelve more
members of Congress were to have
been flown from Boiling Field, but
evidently decided to stay home be-
cause Of the rain. At any rate,
they failed to arrive.
Mr.. Barlow detonated the bomb
with an electric charge from half
mile away and the explosive went
of with a roar. The military men,
congressional committeeman and
newsmen, also a half mile away,
felt a slight conclusion.
But there was nothing like the
terrifying, earth-shaking" explos-
ion Mr.. Barlow had promised. The
blast merely ripped away the top
OF the pole and tore q small hole in
the ground.
