No Applications Made
Here for Bus Service
To New War BUILDING

Area Now; Many Pay
Two Fares Each Way

The Public Utilities Commission
today was understood to be watch
ing with interest developments look
ing toward provision of adequate
transporta ton service for workers
living in the District who will be
employed in the new War Depart
ment Building in Arlington County,
Va.
It was pointed out at the District
Building that the Utilities Commits
sion as yet has no official concern
in the problem, inasmuch as no ap-
plication for new service under its
Jurisdiction has been presented.
No plans for Capital Transit Co.
bus service to the building are being
made at present, a spokesman for
the firm said today.
Virginia bus lines operating into
the District now serve the area, but
the spokesman said it was too early
to state definitely whether the Dis
trict transit company eventually
might have a proposal for new serv-
ice to the building.
Workers at the new Federal Office
building at Columbia pike and Ar
lington Ridge road. occupied by the
Navy Department. now must spend
a total of 30 cents a day to get to
and from work if they live in the
District. Since there is no recip-
rocal transfer arrangement. they
must pay 5 cents on the Virginia
bus line in addition to the 10-cent
fare in the Capital.
The same situation will prevail in
the case of employees shutting be-
tween Washington and the War
Department structure, unless spe-
cial arrangement is devised
Plans Of the building call for a
large bus terminal. but it has not
been indicated whether Washington
or Virginia buses. or both. will oper-
ate into it.

 T just returned from a trip up through Canada and when l got back to the States I thought that America was at war instead of Can- ada. There is considerably more confusion. More hysteria and more fear and suspicion here in America than I could detect in Canada.
 Our first and last thoughts must be for the welfare of our people. Ii we go to war, we will win nothing We will have the greatest chaotic conditions this country has ever seen. Bankruptcy and an eruption in our economic way of life will be ours, if we go to war.
 T have said this before and say it again and again and again that those people who are advocating wal do not have a single drop of Amer ican blood to spill in that war. Lei those who have no blood to spill remain silent on the question o1 war.

We will not miss them here. I have said this before but I say it again and again and again that the great est fifth column we have in this country, is the British fifth column because they are trying to |. way of life by using every device to throw us into shooting war as her ally.
 According to the manner in which a European country changes from friend to enemy and from enemy to friend if we enter the war we may be compelled to fight the world alone.
