Report to Citizens

"A 1uiI picture OIL Smyrna
progress during the last year
will be found in the report of
Town Council, published in
this issue. Though ordered
by council, the report is the
work of a disinterested spec
ialist who can be depended on
to tell the whole truth.
The action of council in
making public a detailed re-
port of town affairs is COM
mendable. 1t shows their de-
sire to inform each citizen as
to the exact status of town
financial matters with as
much detail and care as the in
dividual would exhibit in the
conduct of his own affairs.
There is evident the same de-
sire for economy without sac
rificing efficiency. The record
is one Of progress in all civic
matters at a lowered cost to
the taxpayer. Despite the i'm
pressive list Of improvements,
including sewers, new streets,
newly acquired property, and
provisions for Lake Como
recreation area, council has
found it possible during the
year to lower the tax rate ap-
preciably; to reduce the cost
of electric current to users by
approximately $4,000 and to
reduce the bonded indebted
ness. With the tax burden
growing less and the value and
quality of town services be-
coming greater, 81 myrna
shows itself a disciple of the
old-fashioned theory Of gov
ernment; that is, improve
ments must be paid for; real
progress is best achieved on a
pay-as-you-go basis; and sol
vency is the prime considera-
tion. Congratulations to coun-
Gil for paying all bills, for liv-
ing within our income, and for
keeping our local government
solvent. Read for yourself
the details in the complete re-
port elsewhere in these pages.
Under our new and adequate
system of accounting, the ex-
act status of municipal financ-
es is at last presented in full,
for you.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, April

the Prince Georges County Board of
Licence Commissioners revoking his
on-sale beer and wine license in
March.
At yesterdays hearing before
Frank P. Bratten, chief inspector of
State licenses, and Franklin Purnell,

titled that they were often unable
to go to sleep before 2 or 3 am. be-
cause of the noise at the establish
ment. Other witnesses testified they
were not disturbed.
The county board revoked the Ii
cense as result of protest by resi-

Holland and Belgium
Next on War List,
Dr.. Walsh Declares
Strengthening Of U. S.
Defense Required,
Lecture Audience Is Told

Holland and Belgium are "next on
the calendar of potential victims. ?"
Dr. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j., vice
president of Georgetown University
warned last night in blaming both
England and Germany for the vio-
lation of Scandinavia.
THE need becomes more imper-
ative than ever for cool heads and
steady hands in the United States"
he told an audience in Memorial
Continental Hall. Though it is not
expected of us to maintain an emo
tional or even an intellectual neu-
trality, 1t is incumbent on all to
maintain sense of realism. Our
rights and our national security will
be respected just so long as we can
make them respected"
DR.. Walsh commented on the new
crisis in Europe during his general
discussion of American diplomacy
IN his weekly public lecture.
Self-interest Deciding Factor.
The fate of Norway. Denmark and
Sweden, he said, demonstrates the
futility Of appeals to international
law and sovereign rights unless both
are backed up by the ability to i'm
plement justice by a military and
naval equipment that will command
respect" Both England and Ger
many, "have frankly decided that
self-interest, stripped of legal argu-
ment and respect for neutral rights.
shall be the sole form of their inter-
national conduct"
The English government invoked
the right of self-defense to invade
Norway's territorial waters and
plant mines to obstruct the transport
of iron ore to her enemy" DR.. Walsh
continued. Germany retaliates by
Invading Denmark and surround
Ing Oslo with German troops. The
inherent rights of Norway and Den
mark, respectively. are rated as neg
ligible by the belligerents, who rely
basically on the same justification
urged by Germany when she in
vaded Belgium in 1914-the argu-
ment Of supreme military necessity
and national security.
Defiance Delays Absorption.
THUS the area of combat is enor-
nnously enlarged. with Holland and
Belgium next on the calendar of
potential victims. They would prob
ably both have been absorbed or
protected by this time if their
sturdy people and their small but
resolute army had not made it clear
that they would defend their inde-
pendence to the last ditch"
The Georgetown foreign service
regent warned that the situation
demands strengthening and en-
largement of American national de-
fense. He added: Having prac-
tically sacrificed the freedom Of the
seas as a measure of our determina-
ton to preserve one haven of peace
and sanity in this distracted globe,
we should, without turbulence or
bravado, put our house in such de-
fensive readiness that no belligerent
or acknowledgement shall ever address
us in the language of Russia to
Finland, of Japan to China, Of Italy
to Ethiopia and Albania, of England
to Norway or of Germany to Aus
tria, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland and
Denmark"

Speed Limit On Roads
In State

Ezra B. Whitman, chairman Of the
State Road Commission, is consid-
ering asking the next legislature to
empower the commission to set
speed limit on regular roads at 25,
80 and so miles an hour. The abb
sence OF any intermediary speed be-
tween 80 and SO has made travel at
some points on State highways very
dangerous" Mr.. Whitman asserted.
The commission had the power to
set 35 as an intermediary limit be-
fore the new law was enacted, the
chairman explained.
Simply to say that because a
road is open motorists may go SO
miles AN hour is inviting disaster"
Mr.. Whitmen declared. Some of the
open roads are very crooked"
The commission, he felt, should be
given the authority -. designate
speeds anywhere from 20 to SO miles
an hour for State roads. These limits
would be set after surveys are made
Of the roads, the chairman explained.
