NATIONAL GUARD
IS ISOLATED

Camp Beauregard, La, Aug. 3
(UP)-The seth division of the ma
tional guard-1o,3o0 men-was iso-
lated by floods from this, its base,
today with only enough food for
breakfast.
How soon enough food could be
transported over a flooded terrain,
whose highways, bridges and rail-
roads were water covered, was prob
lematical, but 1t appeared that the
officers and men will either miss
meals or be on short rations today
and perhaps tomorrow.
The plight of the seth was an un-
expected, unscheduled part Of the
maneuvers Of the third army corps
area now in prograss. The floods
had also cut the 45th division from
highway communications with head
quarters, but rail line was open
and food supplies may be transported
over it.

MARINES ARE TO
REMAIN in CHINA

Washington August g. = (UP) -
Acting Secretary Of State Sumner
Welles indicated today that Ameri-
can Marines now stationed in
Shanghai will remain there at least
for the present, regardless of British
withdrawal of troops from the In
ternational Settlement.
Welles said the British action
would have no effect whatever on
the United States policies and posi-
ton In the Far East. He said this
government had been informed
some time In advance of the British
decision to Withdraw the British
troops from the Settlement.
Both British and American troops
were sent to Shanghai to protect
the International Settlement where
most of the British and American
residents Of Shanghai live, and
where both British and American
interests have valuable investments.
At that time the Nationalist armies
OF Generalissimo Chang Kali
Shek were sweeping northward from
Canton In military unification of
China and serious disturbances were
feared in the settlement.

Plane Contracts Idle
Washington, Aug. 9-UP)-Sec-
rotary of War Henry l.. StimSon told
Congress today that the war depart
ment has been able to sign con-
tracts for only 80 of more than A.
900 planes provided for in the null
ti-billion- dollar defense program.
Stimson said the chief stumbling
block was the lack of satisfactory
amortization program, whereby
plane manufacturers would receive
tax concessions for plant expansion
costs.
His disclosure of the 33-plane Or
der jolted members of the joint con-
gressional tax committee which had
invited him to testify on the pend
ing excess profits tax bill which
contains provisions for amortiza-
ton.
Stimson said amortization plans
were vitality important to expansion
of airplane production, and launch
ed into a discussion of President
Roosevelt's recommendations for in
creasing Americas air strength.
Recounting the huge appropr1a-
lions, he said:
"In other words, Congress made
available to the army during the
month of June approximately $780,
100000 for airplanes, engines and
accessories. Yet, today, almost sew
en- weeks later, we have been able

publicans more than Democrats.
"The campaign books are ready to
go out" Nicholson said.
Twill they carry advertising as
usual?" he was asked.
More Advertising
More than usual" Nicholson re-
piled, pointing out that the Hatch
act did not forbid such fund raising
efforts and that the book was

posed that the act be amended to

sources of none yare in the hands

Asked why there was money diff
Guilty now in contrast to 1896 when
the Democratic war chest was fat,
Flynn replied:
In 1896 the republicans did not
have public utility man for can

He said New York state was sure
to go for the Roosevelt Wallace
ticket but added that he preferred
not TO discuss other states until he
had conferred with leaders.
Whom do you regard as Demo-
cratic leader Of Pennsylvania"
Flynn was asked.
Il don't know" he replied. 1.-THE
state leaders generally are the state
chairman. the national committee
man, the national committeewom-

kNTI-WARG GROUP
MEETS TONIGHT
New Organization Form
ing to Keep United
States at Peace

An open mass meeting to which
the general pubic Is invited has
been called for this evening by Ed
ward J. Ryan Of Thomaston bitter
opponent Of the New Deals foreign
policy. The meeting will be held in
the ballroom Of the Elton Hotel and
viii get underway at 8 p. m.
The purpose Of the meeting is to
organize q committee to Keep
America Out of Foreign Wars" The
principals Of the organization viii
be to band together all persons who
are interested in the future Of the
United States, Of all persons who
think only Of the welfare Of the
United States. OF all persons who
believe that the Monroe Doctrine
should be enforced, as well as the
strict enforcement of the johnson
Act and our neutrality act. OF all
persons who believe America should
not strip her defense to aid a bel
hgerent country.
No Foreign 'Isms"
Persons having membership or
sympathy for Nazism, Fascism or
Communism will not be granted
membership in The Committee To
Keep America Out of Foreign Wars.
The organization will be open to all
persons regardless Of race, creed or
religion, age or sex.
Mr.. Ryan has won favorable wide
spread comment because of his
frank and outspoken stand on
American Neutrality and especially
his bitter opposition to the term
"All Aid Short Of War" which he
claims is subterfuge to take Amer
lea into the war.
"A strong movement is underway
in the United States to have us
strip our Navy of so destroyers and
give them to Great Britain. Whyp
Why are We told in one breath that
we have a weak defense including
weak navy and in the next breath
told that we should take SO of our
destroyers and give them to Britain.
THE American people are spend
ing millions of dollars for Naval
equipment. for the sole purpose of
building our navy. If we have de-
stroyers which we can give away
then it must be assumed that we
have more ships than we need"
More Tomorrow
If American destroyers are given
to Britain We will be in the war Just
as sure as tomorrow Is Saturday. If
we give Britain SO destroyerS she
Will want SO more the following
week, then she will want 100, then
perhaps two hundred, then she will
want men to man the destroyers and
we will be the ones to do that"
There are many ways we can
get into the present war, we can
slip in, be pushed In, or be dragged
In. Whichever way we get in, one
thing Is certain, it will mean the
lives OF millions of our best men"
It Is not necessary for us to declare
war on Germany and ITALY, they
can declare war on us If they think
we are acting as military reservoir
for Britain"
The Mothers Of American Sons
and various other organizations are
uniting In making the meeting to-
night a success.

to sign contracts for the conStruc-
ton of but 80 planes Of the 1000
and more for which these appro-
priationS were made. y -
1.-THE fault, gentlemen, IS not with
the army" Stimson said. 80 far
as am aware, there has been no
undue delay in the preparation Of
the army's Specifications and de-
signs for the contracts. The fault
has certainly not been with the ad-
visory commission. The members OF
that body have brought to bear on
the solution Of the problem great
experience, good judgment and
wholehearted effort. Nor has il
been the fault of industry.
No Hold Back Evidence
IT have received no evidence that
at any time there has been any tend
ency on the part Of industry to hold
back on the Army In these negotia-
lions.
1.-THE entire program Of airplane
construction Is so far so large that
1t necessarily involves a great expan-
sion Of existing plant facilities and
the construction of new ones to meet
the requirements Of our Army In the
present emergency.
Industry may DE expected to un-
dertake normal risks. But the risk to
industry of undertaking at the re-
quest of the government, to expand
at its own expense its plant capacity
and Of then being left, upon a sud-
den cessation of the emergency, with
these expanded facilities useless, Is
one that is entitled to special con-
sideration.
II have singled out the aviation
industry as an example. The prob
lem, however, Is much wider. Those
who manufacture guns for use. In
our planes are faced with the same
problems as those who manufacture
the planes. Those who must build
our tanks, our artillery and our am
rnunition are faced with the same
problems as to plant expansion and
uncertainties Of taxation. Definite
tax legislation upon which the calcu-
lations of the future may be more
safely met will benefit every factory
that may be called upon for extern
sive plant expansion to meet the
present crisis" ~
