Daughters of the American Revo-

wholesome community life" for
men inducted into service and de-
fense workers as result of a reso-
luton adopted at the final session
of the 50th Continental Congress
of the D. A. R. today.
The resolution was considered a
response to Federal Security Ad-
ministrator Paul McNutt's request
that the Daughters share in the task
of entertaining the men. In his
address to the congress Thursday
night Mr.. McNutt also remarked
that some of the "so-called finest
families" arranged dances for Sc
lectees and refused to let their
daughters attend.
The resolution, while not touching
on the daughter problem, said it
was imperative to the future welfare
of the United States that a whole
some community life be provided for
the men and defense workers now
uprooted from their normal lives
and congregated in places unpre-
pared to meet their needs"
The society resolved to urge its
members "the obligation to provide
in their communities adequate rec
reational and inspirational facilities

Gown Problem to Be Solved.
The Daughters also adopted a
resolution to solve the problem
created by the fact that there
is no more room in the Smith

decided to prepare a room in Con-
tinental Hall for the preservation
and care of a gown of each presi-

LONDON, April 19.-Britain,
racing to forestall an axis thrust
toward the priced oil fields of
Iraq, has landed strong imperial
forces to "open lines of COM
munication" through that coun-
try which was the scene of a
government overthrow Is days
ago.
An official British announcement
said the troops landed at Basra, at
the head of the Persian Gulf.
The announcement said the new
Iraq administration of Sayid Rashid
Ali AL Gailana was cooperating in
receiving the British expedition, and
foreign circles expressed belief that
this might result in early recogni-
ton of his regime.
Strength for Turkey.
1t was considered very probable
that Britain's step would strengthen
Turkeys hand in resisting any Ger
man encroachment toward the Near
East
Informed sources said it was un-
safe to speculate on whether the
development would have any pos
sible bearing upon the status Of
Syria, a French mandate which
separates Palestine from Turkey.
The announcement said the new
IraQ administration, true to the
initial assurances given by Sayid
Rashid Ali Al Galani, Iraq Premier,
are affording full facilities and have
sent a high officer to Basra to well
come the commanding British officer
and to collaborate with him"
Warmly Welcomed.
Authorized sources said the i'm
perial troops had been given a
warm welcome" by the population
at Basra, and that the cooperation
of the IraQ government in making
possible the execution of this new
move had made favorable i'm
preston" here.
They added that the circum-
stances gave rise to the hope that
more normal relations between
Great Britain and Iraq' might soon
be established.
The welcome given the troops by
the natives was attributed in part
to Iraq's memory of British and
Indian soldiers of the last war.
Oil-rich Iraq long has been men,
toned as a sought-after prize by the
European belligerents.
Formerly under British mandate.
the country has been recognized as
an independent state since 1927.
Six-year-old Feisal II has been
King under regency for the past
two years. The government Of Seyid
Taha AL Hashimi was overthrown
by a nationalist military group on
April 4.
British sources quickly charged
that the coup was due to axis in
trigue, since Iraq troops were re-
ported to have seized a British air
base near Baghdad. Subsequently
the new premier made a statement
reaffirming Iraq's alliance with
Britain.
Counter Coup Foiled.
On April II it announced that a
counter coup, led by the ousted
Prince Regent Emir Abdul Ilah, had
been frustrated and that the alleged
conspirators fed by plane to r. A. F.
cantonments.
One week ago the Rome radio as
serted that Iraq troops had cap
tured the fort of Ruiba from CON
siderable" British force. The fort
was described as one granted to
Britain by the former government
and located on the main commune
cations route between Baghdad and
Damascus. This reported capture
was not confirmed from other
quarters.

that he already has this poDer as

Nary. Senate Foreign Relations
Committee tDiI take up late this
month dnti-cOnUoy resolution OF
Senator Tobey, Republican, OF
NetU Hampshire.
BY The Associated Press.
Some Senate opponents of ad-
ministration foreign policy, con-
ceding that they might fail to
enact a strict prohibition against
conveys, worked out an alterna-
tive restriction today under
which conveys could be ordered
only with approval of Congress.
A resolution forbidding conveys is
scheduled for action by the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee April
30. and administration leaders say
they have ample strength to shelve
the measure.
Senator Tobey, Republican, of
New Hampshire, author of the pro-
posal, told the Senate yesterday he
had information from four unnamed
persons that American naval YES
sells already were engaged in CONVOY
work. Majority Leader Barkley re-
piled he had ''unequivocal and en-
phatic" assurances from Secretary
Knox and Admiral Harold r. Stark,
chief of naval operations, that con-
voys had not been used and that no
orders for them had been issued.
Nye to Offer Resolution.
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota was expected to introduce
a new resolution requiring congress
sional approval before conveys could
be ordered, and to suggest that it be
considered as a compromise If the
Foreign Relations Committee shelves
the Tobey resolution.
IF the administration is sincere
in not wishing to endanger Ameri-
can lives by using conveys" Senator
Nye declared, there certainly
should be no objection to permitting
Congress to act before conveys are
ordered"
Senator Norris, independent, Of
Nebraska, who sought unsuccess-
fully to write an anti-convoy amend
ment into the lease-lend bill, said
he believed further discussion OF
convoy restrictions would only give
Joy and pleasure to Hitler"
Discussion Called Unfortunate.
ut is unfortunate to bring up
such questions now, when every one
wants to try to be united and go
along together" Senator Norris de-
clared. Why talk about step,
which, as far as I know, nobody
contemplates?'
In another field of foreign policy.
Senator Nye criticized the admins
tration for its pledges of assistance
to Yugoslavia.
"One day" he said, this country
will be held up in the light of hav-
ing encouraged these little coun-
tries to stand up one after another
and commit suicide by promising
help that we couldn't possibly fur
nish.
These empty promises have def
nitely weakened our prestige

beginning this week, which will
offer experience In outdoor living
to about 5000 Washington chill
dren The camps will be open for
various periods and will close Labor

The increasing difficulty of OBJ
tanning trained personnel for boys
camps was emphasized today by
Hugo Wolter. recreation secretary
of the Council of Social Agencies,
Pointing out that the draft and
prospects of defense jobs have
absorbed many young men with
whom the camps formerly were
stated. Mr.. Wolter issued an ap-
peal for any young men between

aptitude and some experience in
camp counseling to get in touch

Boys Club Leaders to Help.
In partial solution or the leader

or older who have been found to
be Intelligent and responsible
enough to respond quickly to in
tensive training for the camp jobs"
He emphasized the need for
physicians for children's camp
service, agreeing with Mr.. Wolter
that the calls of selective service
and other demands have created
scarcity of young doctors and in

customed to call for help"

such as the installation of display cases on eth

niversary of the founding of that
church. Invitations have been sent

es are available, and while no spe-
cial invitations have been mailed to

Sept. %, to meet your old friends
and neighbors.

Third, the domination of the many
by treating those with whom we
come in contact not as groups, or in
derogatory generalities, but as indi-
viduals like unto ourselves, with the
same principles, the same rights and
the same obligations Fourth, the
suppression of freedom. Let us seek
revenge by Using our freedom Of
speech, and thought and assembly
for the building of our country and
our fellow citizens, for the practical
application of democracy. And last,
the armed attack on religion and
freedom of worship. Let us seek
our revenge by making our religion
the living force in our lives, by put
ting into practice the ethics In
which we believe, no matter by
what name we call our faith. Let
us prove the worth Of our faith by
our own actions.
Paul preached this to the Romans
nearly two thousand years ago when
he wrote Dearly beloved, avenge
not yourselves, but rather give
place unto wrath; for it is written.
Vengeance is mine; / will repay,
saith the Lord. Therefore, if thine
enemy hunger, feed him; if he
thirst, give him drink; for in SO do
ing thou shalt heap Goals of fire on
his head. Be not overcome of evil,
but overcome evil with good" This
is the only lasting revenge

A REAL REVENGE

Revenge is a two edged sword,
cutting us as well as our enemy
when we use it to hurt someone
else-but there is another revenge
that is not only safe, but far more
effective. QuiIler Couch described
it thus: ''The greatest revenge we
like him.
This is real revenge, for through
it the original hurt is removed.
Through it we concentrate on the
good, not on the evil.
We say that the enemy of our
country, the enemy that threatens
us. is the force of evil unleashed by
the German dictator, and that the
blood of thousands of helpless vic
tins calls for revenge. But re-
venge for defeat was Hitler's rally
ing call to the German people, and
like the Philistines of old, of whom
Ezekiel wrote, they ''have dealt by
revenge and have taken vengeance
with despiteful heart, to destroy it
for the old hatred"
By all means let us take revenge
but not the revenge of slavish i'm
itation, of new hatreds. Let us rath-
er be dissimilar, let us set an exam
pie.
What do we hate most in the
totalitarian set-up? First, the cruel
ty. Let us seek revenge by being
kindly doing unto others as we
would have them do unto us. Sec
ond, the oppression. Let us seek
revenge by being scrupulously fair
in all of our dealing with others. no
matter how insignificant the act.

STRAIGHT FROM WASHINGTON
(By Stephen M. Young,
COngreSSman-at-Largel


Did the presidents recent address
mean war? The prevailing view
here is that it did not. There seems
no immediate probability of war.
This is not a war congress. Only
congress may declare war. The
prospect of declaration of war
against Germany is remote and de-
pends on Hitler Americans are a
peace loving people. So were the
Norwegians and the Dutch. In fact
Holland had not been involved in
any war for 147 years. Norway for
1O2 years. They did not want war
Hitler took the war to them.
The presidents address was a
mastery appraisal of the danger to
this nation of a Nazi controlled
world. His clarion call to defend
our sovereignty and maintain a wall
of defense around the western hem
isphere and to adhere to our ira
ditional policy of freedom OF the
seas deserves approval and support
of united people.
Shooting
A little shooting around Iceland
would not necessarily mean war. 1t
is evident that the power of Amer
lea is being brought to bear to the
utmost against Hitler This nation
has been waging and will wage eco
nomic warfare to the extent of our
resources. The British and Rus
sions will do the bulk of the fight
ing. Our navy is alert and mighty.
1t is ready to shoot before being
shot at and will do just that.
National Defense
The total active strength of the
army, navy and marine corps Of the
United States, including officers
and enlisted men is now 100000.
OF this total only about 100000 are
selective service soldiers. Defense
plant expansion totals 2,023 projects
as of June 80, 1941. Number of de-
fense housing units now totals 1885,
600 dwellings and trailers. Airplane
production, including bombing
planes, combat and training planes
is now on basis of about 1000 per
month. The August total was L.
854. Shell loading plants such as
the Ravenna arsenal are now in pro-
duction. Quantity production Of
tanks is proceeding satisfactorily
and small arms production is eX-
ceeding expectations. Hitler, watch
your step.
Dissatisfaction
1t is difficult to satisfy everybody.
There are many criticisms of this
A Communist agi-
tator, urging support for Arnold
Johnson, Communist candidate for

what would happen when the Com
munist party came into power:

the agitator leaned over, shook his
fist in the little fellows face and
shouted, "COmes the revolution, and
