For Special Tags
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Feb. CIV. Lee
Elgin, commissioner of motor ve-
hicles, said yesterday that mo fur
ther requests can be entertained
this year" for special automobile
license numbers.
"The demand for special license
numbers has far exceeded all
past years, Mr.. Elgin declared, "and
it has been my policy to grant as
many of the requests as possible
However. they are issued in the
manner in which the applications
are returned to this department
and no particular number is re-
assigned"
He said the department is still re-
ceiving many requests for auto tags
with the same numbers as the own
er's home, or telephone numbers
birth dates, and names worked out
in numerals.
"These requests naturally had to
be rejected, as we could not break
our tag series, which would cause
too much confusion in our tag and
bookkeeping system"
Mr.. Elgin said the mailing de-
partment was working overtime in
order to get 1941 license plates out
within "a hours after receipt of the
applications.
THE public can save much time
and inconvenience by mailing ap-
plicationS for plates rather than
coming to the Office for them" he
said.

British Agitators
Landing in Holland,
Germans Believe
Muy Be Using Puroehutes
And Motorboots, Nozi
Spokesman Suggests
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Feb. 27.-The possibil-
ity that British agitators" are be-
ing landed in the Netherlands by
parachutes and swift motorboats
at night was suggested in Berlin to-
day.
A Nazi spokesman declared, how
ever, that the effectiveness of such
operations was limited and that
measures being taken by German
military authorities to suppress dis
orders in Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam were proving adequate.
There is no preventing para
chutists from landing, and some
boats might reach the coast" the
spokesman said, "but no big YES
sci with upward of 1000 agents
could land. We see to that.
"At any rate, disturbances in Hol-
land which led to a number of
deaths and institution of a mill
tary administration in one prov
ince North Holland are not to
be regarded as a great political
Development 1t is a little incident
which cannot possibly cause any
serious trouble.
"Psychologically, the behavior of
the Dutch is easy to explain: The
country is occupied by a foreign
power, and If such occupation be by
God or devil resentment in some
quarters is inevitable and Germany
thoroughly appreciates the situ-
ation-which the Reich had no wish
to impose on blameless Dutch
citizens.
"Under the circumstances, of
course, the Low Countries are
fertile ground for agitators. We
are striving by patience to demon
strate the uselessness of opposition
and we hope the Dutch people will
find the way to its rational leaders
rather than look to the ghetto or
England for leadership"
The German idea apparently was
that Jews were chiefly responsible
for the disorders, but the spokes-
man said there were other dark
elements" including British agents."
Depend upon it," he said, the
counter measures will be sharp
enough to be effective with the
greatest promptness.'

Active War If Needed, '
EicheIberger's S Advice

BY the Associated Press.
Clark M. Eichelberger, national
director of the Committee to De-
fend America by Aiding the Allies
said yesterday he favored "active
belligerency if necessary" to save
England from "either defeat OF
an appeasement peace"
He added, however, that he was
expressing only his personal opin-
ion, and that both he and his COM
mittee believed that the United
States can keep out of the war and
save England by sending material
aid.
Mr.. Eichelberger held a press con-
ference to urge speedy passage OF
the lease-lend bill, and said he
feared opponents of the measure
were trying to delay action until it
might be too late to save England
Celebrating on his advocacy OF
"active belligerency If necessary
Mr.. Eichelberger said he was not
envisioning the sending of troops to
Europe, but was thinking of such
things as naval and aerial partici-
patton.

INDEPENDENT
IMPARTIAL
and
INDIVIDUAL
BY ALL MEANS,
LET'S INVESTIGATE

With employment at an all-tlme peak,
with more jobs than ever before gong
begging, with the draft taking thousands
of its young men out of private employ
ment, California has been informed by
Governor Olson that it needs to appro-
pirate $2,575,000 to maintain the State
Relief Administration until July l. That
is more than a million dollars month
the taxpayers are being asked to contrib
ute to SRA.
In the face of the governors request,
the Joint legislative relief committee did
the only thing possible. 1t authorized
private auditing of SRA books to flnd
out if the relief agency has enough money
to operate until July l without an addl-
tional appropriation.
The relief committee however, did not
go far enough. What the people of Cali
fornia want to know is not whether SRA
can operate until July l with the money
it has on hand. They want to know why
relief costs have not appreciably de-
creased in the face of a sharp upward
spiral in employment.
The governor says it is because farm
employment conditions are not good.
Is it possible that we have come to
situation in which we view an ablebodied
man as being able to do only one kind
of common labor? Or is the state at
hands from seeking employment where
it is to be found?
A lot Of questions need answering.
They are mere whispers now, compared
to what they will be when the people be-
gin paying their national defense tax
bill.
What the State Relief Administration
needs more than anything else is an in
vestigation that will reach into every
nook and Granny of the unemployment
situation. If the people are convinced
that their taxes are going to support
those who are physically unable to sup
port themselves, there will not be much
complaint. If, on the other hand, the
money is going to the support of thou
sands of political employees, in addition
to ablebodied men now living off the SRA
funds, then the public has every right
to complain long and loudly.
We need more than an audit of the
State Relief Administration. We need
thorough public overhauling.

FEDERAL TREASURY
NOT BOTTOMLESS
wall Street JournaD

March was "the fifth consecutive
month in which employment has eX-
ceeded the levels of corresponding months
in all previous years on record SO re-
ports Secretary of Labor Perkins on the
number of men and women working else
where than on farms, which was 37,21S,-
900 last month compared with 34,952, 900
a year earlier and 35,677 900 in March
of 1929.
Not only that, but pay rolls in industry
and trade are increasing in greater pro-
portion than number employed. The de-
partment maintains indexes of employ
ment and pay rolls based on the averages
of 1923-25 as 100. The employment in
dex, which is described as adjusted to
conform with census figures, rose to
1879 for March of this year as against
104.4 for that month of 1910, and the
previous depresSion-yearS peak of 110.1
in March of 1887. The pay roll index,
however, was 1910 last month, as against
99.8 and 1859 respectively, for the
month in 1910 and 1887. Secretary Per-
kins mentions longer hours, overtime
payments and wage scale increases as
accounting for the greater rise in pay
rolls than in employment.
1t would be hard to imagine a better
argument than these figures in support
of Secretary Morgenthau' plea that
Congress lop off at least 81 billion of
annual non-defense expenditures. The
emergency" of inadequate employment
has been replaced by an emergency Of
widespread labor shortages. That fact
renders any continuation of iob-making
federal expenditure a grotesque folly.
The greater earnings of wage workers
and their wider distribution makes cer-
tain greatly improved domestic market
for the farmers foodstuffs, to say moth
ing of that portion of his products which
will be exported under the working of
the lease-lend law. To appropriate great
er sums for farm-aid benefits, or even
the same amounts so distributed this fis-
cal year, would be sheer political waste
of the taxpayers substance.
The federal government plans to spend
II billions on defense in the IL months
beginning July l. next, or almost double
the estimated like expenditure of the
present fiscal year. That cannot be
avoided; the national security in burn
ing world cannot be stinted. But it is
worse than idle to imagine that the
national treasury has no bottom.

BRITISH TONNAGE
AFTER THE WAR

One reason for American dissatisfac-
ton after World War No. l was the
lack of wartime planning for peace. 1t
was lack which put the United States
squarely behind the eight-ball in the in
ternational game of trade And behind
the eight-ball is where we may be again
if some thought is not given now to this
country's position after the war.
We all want to help Great Britain win.
Many of us believe we should even de-
clare war in order to do it. There are
few exceptions to the rule that every
American is willing to extend the ut
most effort today to assure democratic
victory.
But that fact should not blind us to
other facts One of them is the danger
that we are today helping in war ma
tion which may become in peacetime our
greatest competitor. 1t is not necessary
to do so. We can help Great Britain
without sharpening the knife which may
cut our own economic throat after we
have helped Britain win.
We are today doing all we can to build
ships for the British The future of the
British Isles-the very life Of the en-
pire-depends upon these ships. But,
once the war is over, these same ships
will be dangerous in competition, Civ
ing the British a tonnage far beyond our
own.

About National Unity

1t is perfectly clear that an ap-
pearance of disunity is a disad-
vantage to any country today.
Other countries, to whom its poll
cies are opposed, take heart from
such signs.
However, any country which bases
its policies on appearances OF dis
unity in the United States today
is making a grave mistake. Only a
country unframed in the democra-
tic process could make the grave
error of assuming that because
there is discussion of the best fu-
ture course for the United States
there is any essential disunity re-
garding any course, once adopted.
The very essence of the demo-
cratic process is full debate on the
merits of possible courses of action.
But once those courses are chosen,
democratic peoples no less than
others are capable of closing ranks.
People in many other countries
were amazed last year to see SO
spirited national election so soon
forgotten, its wounds so superficial,
it's bitterness SO soon buried. So
any country will be unpleasantly
surprised which hears the acrid de-
bate now going on about American
relations to the war in Europe and
ceduces from it that the American
people are basically disunited
Too much unity before a course
is finally decided upon would be
a bad sign rather than a good one.
1t is only in choosing from among
several courses that the democratic
ay really functions. 1t is idle, and
