Social Workers Ask
Advances in America
Not Be Sacrificed
Petition Urges U. S.
Be Content to Defend
Only Its Own Shores

A petition signed by more than
1000 social workers throughout the
country was presented to President
Roosevelt yesterday asking that So
cial welfare advances in the United
States not be sacrificed to the cause
of rearmament and that this coun-
try be content to defend its own
shores.
The petition, signed at the recent
National Conference of Social
Workers in Grand Rapids, Mich,
was presented at the White House
by Frank Bancroft, editor of Social
Work Today, publication of the
conference. He was accompanied by
Miss Mary E. Holman of the
Brooklyn Bureau of Charities, Miss
Constance Kyle of the Community
Service Society of New York City
and Miss Clara Rabinowitz of the
Jewish Family Welfare Society of
Brooklyn.
In an interview yesterday after
noon Mr.. Bancroft said the petition
contained the following observa.
tions and recommendations
/. Today's crisis does not lessen,
but increases, the need for adequate
programs of unemployment relief,
social security. labor, consumer and
minority group protective legisla-
ton, legislation to insure the exer-
else of the franchise by all Amer
ican citizens of voting age and ex-
pansion of public health services.
2. Wars in Europe and Asia sup
ply no real economic basis for the
discontinuance or reduction of any
Of the public and private social serv-
ices now being offered the American
people. Funds should not be di-
verted from support of these serv-
ices into military channels.
3. Existing social and civil serv-
ices should not be geared into a
military program.
4. The most earnest consideration
should be given to effective legisla-
ton for taxing the profit out of war.
S. Civil rights should be zealously
guarded.
6. The United States must avoid
having an economic stake in the
present hostilities.
7. The United States should never
fight a foreign war but be content
to defend its own soil only.

LONDON, June 8.-Dr. Hugh
Dalton, Minister of Economic War
fare, told the British people in a
broadcast tonight that "streaks Of
shortage are spreading like wales
(welts) across the economic body of
Germany"
BritainS economic warfare, DR..
Dalton said, is forcing Germans to
live on accumulated stocks and "in
this colossal effort she is expending
them, eating into them al a tre-
mendous rate.
Stolen Stocks Small.
"She can never replace them now
and stocks that Hitler has stolen
by his marauding expeditions in
Denmark, Norway and the Low
Countries are very small compared
with his vast needs"
Hitler, he salu. has not improved
Germany's economic position by in
vading Denmark and the Low Coun-
tries. He pointed out that these
countries depended on imports.
Hitler may plunder enough from
the enslaved little countries TO feed
his hungry people during this sum-
mer," Dr. Dalton said. but as
summer turns into autumn he higgins
to lose many of the normal exports
from these countries into Germany.
Hitler and his advisers will put
on solemn faces when they speak
of OIL"
Cut Of From Key Supplies.
The Allies have virtually cut off
the Germans from rubber, ferro-
alloys, oilseeds. cotton and wool, all
key war supplies, DR.. Dalton said.
He declared Germanys supply of
oil from Rumania and Russia has
been very Disappointing"
Let us never forget he difficult
ties Of Germany" DR.. Dalton said.
Germans cannot hope to win a
long war. In the long run we shall
get them down. Their only hope is
to win short war and that we shall
not let them do"

End New Deal War
On Business, Dewey
Demands Of Roosevelt
6. O. P. Aspiront Calls
For Ousting Of Several
Cabinet Members
BY the Associated Press.


WINSTON-SALEM, N. c., June
8.-Recalling the adsge that "a
house divided against itself can
not stand" Thomas E. Dewey called
on President Roosevelt tonight to
put an end to the war by the New
Deal against the business and pro-
ductive forces Of this Nation" in
the face of a national emergency.
The candidate for the Republican
presidential nomination, in an ad-
dress prepared for delivery at Re-
publican meeting here, declared:
For seven years we have been
divided by a war at home The
policies of our present administra-
ton have been conceived in terms
of domestic warfare. 1t has been
war by the New Deal against the
business and productive forces OF
this Nation.
1--WE have right the speaker
continued, Ito insist that the Presi-
dent put an end to the war at home
and dismiss from his councils those
who waged that war. - With the
wounds of division healed
we can turn our attention whole
heartedly to the problem of ma
tional defense"
The address was broadcast over a
national network.
Sees Blindness to Militarism.
Mr.. Dewey said that while Ger

preparation for war seven years
ago, the New Deal administration.

tarism in the dictator countries.
shut its eyes and occupied itself
with emergencies of its own crea-
ton"
Meanwhile" he continued, "it
spent nearly $50 1000 ,000, 600 of the
peoples money. OF this total
$500 900 900 was spent for national
defense. Today we know how badly
that job was done. Now, in state
of hysteria, without plan or direc-
ton, the New Deal is trying to
make up in few months the mis-
takes Of seven years"
Mr.. Dewey termed the admins
tration the fourth wall" of national
defense, and went on: The cabinet
officers who personify the war on
business and the White House Clique
who have been conducting that war
still retain their power and influence
in Washington. That is a national
tragedy.
Calls for Oustings.
specifically, there is still in ONCE
the Secretary of War, under whose
guidance our military preparedness
has been shockingly inadequate.
There is still in Office the closest
adviser to the President, the Secre-
tary Of Commerce, our totally nom
commercial Harry Hopkins-a man
who never ran business and never
so much as made shoelace in his
life.
"As Secretary of Labor there is
still in Office the individual during
whose tenure labor has been split
asunder to the gravest injury of the
Nation as whole and to the great
advantage of racketeers and Com
munists in the labor movement.
These cabinet officers, among

now for Gov. Bricker, who cannot
become candidate as long as Sen
ator Taft is in the running. A
good deal more open work is being
done for Mr.. Willkie, whose stock
is reported to have been soaring,
despite the fact that if he is
nominated, his Democratic opponent
will be in a position to say: AT
last the Republican party has def
nitely admitted it is the party Of
the big interests"
If Roosevelt Runs.
If President Roosevelt runs, as is
now predicted, the Democratic con-
vention will be cut-and-dried affair
AS it was in 1896 There are some
Democrats so strongly opposed to a
third-term nomination for any man
they will not attend the convention,
they say, as delegates or onlookers.
What Vice President Garner will do
is a question. 1t has been limited
he will go back to his Texas home,
if Congress adjourns before the
convention.
A main job of the Republican
Platform Committee will be the draft
of a foreign affairs platform. It
seems reasonably sure the Repub-
licans will take a strong position
for adequate and increased national
defense. They will harshly criticize
the Roosevelt administration for not
building up the Army although it
knew, as has been claimed, that war
was sure to come in Europe. There
will be some Republicans who de-
mand that the platform take stand
against American entry into the
present conflict, and others who will
demand that something be said
about aiding the French and British
in their fight against Germany.
Much will depend on the situation
in Europe when the convention
meets.
Senator Bridges friends insist that
he will have at least 40 delegate
votes, when the balloting begins,
from New Hampshire his own State,
and from eight or nine other States.
Last night the race looked to lie
between Senator Taft and Mr..
Dewey. But party leaders insist
there had been no crystallization Of
sentiment and that anything may
happen"

ing cherry from Northern Japan,
named for the late Prof. Sargent Of
Arnold Arboretum fame, is slow to
develop but makes a far larger tree
than most of the Towering cherries
and is as handsome in the autumn
leaf colorations as it is In the spring
with its masses Of pale pink single
flowers.
On their way to the arboretum
are a group OF California big trees,
small plants but with wonderful
possibilities. Their one forerunner
is tree on the Capitol grounds, not
too happy or luxuriant. On the
cooler, sleeper slopes available at
the arboretum it is hoped that they
may make good, and perhaps do
even better than some specimens OF
the same "big tree" known farther
north. Nearby it is hoped to have
comparable grove Of Cum
ninghamias, another evergreen tree
somewhat uncommon here. though
beautifully grown in some Of our
Gulf States From some of the
thousands of Japanese yew seedlings
it is hoped enough treelike forms
will be found to make possible a
grove of that type. while at their
feet or nearby will be the collection
of all the special horticultural forms
Of yeW that have come to enrich
our modern gardens.
The question is often asked as to
whether it will not be possible in
this arboretum to show of the value
of Geological plant associations.
Doubtless much may be accom-
plished along this line, but this 10,
not the major purpose of the arbo-
return here and probably involves
too great and too constant an outlay
of money for successful maintenance.
At the moment it seems wisest to
plan the arboretum in such way
that emphasis will fall upon three
or four major effects and scenic
displays and to correlate all the
necessary botanical groups in such
a way that they will grow we'll but
not dominate the scene.
Not to pursue the discussion too
long, it is most important to remem-
ber the advice of the old gardener
who said that If one had IS for one
tree, so cents should go for the
tree and the rest for the preparation
OF the hole. The National Arbore-
tum, with very little to spend, has
been working attentively on the
preparations for planting and we
are confident that so years from now
there will BE- no regrets.

BY MAJ. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT,

We are now about to see a most
important test of the ability of the
Allies to offer really effective re-
sistance to the new German tech
nique of mobile warfare. After
heavy fighting, German armored
force has broken through the Allied
line on the Bresle River, and has
driven through to the vicinity of
Forges-Les-E Faux, described in re-
ports of a small spa," which is true
enough, but also most important
rail and road junction. It COM
mands the broad Vale de Bray, and
its continued possession by the Ger
mans would mean that they had
successfully turned the French po-
sitions in the Upper Bresle Valley
and on the high ground centering
about Aumale.
This technique of penetration to
the rear by armored elements was
carried out by the Germans with
astonishing success during the CAM
paign in Picardy and Flanders. It
is. of course, true, as pointed out
then, that they cannot hold ground
to any extent by themselves; but
they were always successfully fol-
lowed up by "Schutzen" battalions
infantry in armored carriers-who
managed to cling to key positions
until motorized infantry and artil-
lery could arrive in sufficient force
to consolidate the points required
to be held.
Much Depends on Outcome.
The French report that this force
at Forges-Les-Eaux consists of
tanks and armored cars only, and
that 1t is surrounded and will be
destroyed; that it has not been fol-
lowed up by infantry, and that save
for this single infiltration, the Bresle
line is holding. If this is so, we
should soon know it. 1t is, as stated
above, a test case on the outcome
of which much may depend.
Meanwhile. it is becoming clear
that the French have lost posses
sion Of most of the lower Somme
from Ham to the sea, and that the
Germans are battering away with
some success at the French positions
in the Oise valley. where their main
drive has long been expected. Here
they are reported as having reached
Carlepont, a road junction about
five kilometers southeast of the
important city of Noyon. This drive
may be headed for Compiegne
which lies at the junction of the
Rivers Aisne and Oise and Is a
most important road center. We
may be about to see another Ger
man attempt to forge a chain OF
rear positions behind the French
left wing, just as was done in their
May advance down the Somme val
ley to Amiens and Abbeville. This
chain might extend from Com
piegne to Beauvais. Gournay and
so to Forges-Les-Eaux A great
deal. therefore, depends on how well
the French have solved the problem
of checking, surrounding and de-
stroying these fast-moving German
armored columns.
Meanwhile both French and Brit
ish reports suggest that the Ger
man infantry now being used on
the Somme front is not Of first
line quality. The Germans have
about 80 infantry divisions of fully
trained soldiers, and 80 to so others
largely composed of men of the
so-called lost classes" those who
missed their regular two years
service between 1919 and 1885, in
which latter year universal service
was resumed in Germany. Some of
these men have had special training
courses of eight weeks duration be-
tween 1885 and 1889; others have
