withhold aid to victims of attack
would not result in the restoration
of peace; that it would merely tend
TO perpetuate the enslavement of
nations already invaded and subju-
gated and provide an opportunity for
the would-be conquerors to gather
strength for an attack against us"
Furthermore. he said that this bill
provides for machinery to enable us
to make the most effective use of our
resources for our own needs and
for the needs of those whom, in our
own self-defense, we are determined
to aid.
The enactment of this bill would
expedite the production of arms and
munitions, make possible their pro-
duction with much greater economy
to all governments involved, and
assure that the distribution of these
articles would be to the nations
which can use them most effectively
in relation to the defense of the
United States. The United States
would become virtually the sole pur-
chaser of war materials to be Or
dered from the manufacturers Of
this country; there would thus be
constituted one great channel
through which the production of all
such materials would be ordered and
through which the finished mate
rials would flow from the sources
of production. The result should be
more efficiency and greater speed
in the production of the war mate
rials necessary for the defense Of
the United States. I cannot over
emphasize the need for efficiency
and speed in this hour of emergency.
Purpose Of Bill.
This bill, as you are aware. has
been widely discussed over the radio,
in the press, and on the platform.
1t is now being considered by the
Congress, and public hearings on
the bill are being held by the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs. These
facts in themselves should silence
the critics who say that we are
substituting dictatorship for our
American political system. They
should indicate clearly that freedom
of speech and expression are not
interfered with, and that our demo-
cratic processes function as usual
Whatever action is taken by the
Congress will be the free delibera-
tive action OF a legislative assembly
elected BY the free men and women
Of this country. e
The important thing to be kept
in mind is the purpose Of the bill.
Speed and efficiency and the existing

At the same time the people are
virtually unanimous In their de-
sire to build for the United
States the strongest defense sys-
tenn in the world.
It Is the history of democracy
that, under such dire circum-
stances, extraordinary powers
must be granted to the elected
executive. Democracy cannot
hope to defend itself from az
gression in any other way. 1t is
for this reason only that I favor
grant OF power at this time to
the present administration.
I quote thus fully this firm an,
appropriate patriotic statement b,
Mr.. Willkie, who I believe ha
clearly demonstrated himself to b,
a real American and a leader.
National unity is all-important Il
this country during the presen
emergency. Each citizen must pla,
his part in support Of our broa,
program of national defense, which
in reality is from beginning to en-,
q program OF self-preservation. W.

Of war materials may be made to
the government Of any belligerent
country whose defense is consid-
.ered vital to the defense of the
United States.
This bill appropriates no money.
The President must come to Con-
gress for funds necessary to carry
out its provisions. Congress can
then appropriate or not, in whole or
in part, or place limitations or re-
strictions upon any appropriation.
In short, the bill grants authority
to the President but he must ask
Congress for any funds necessary to
carry out that authority. I might
also say and emphasize that the
operation Of this act is wholly de-
pendent upon subsequent action by
the Congress in appropriating the
money necessary to carry 1t out.
Willkie Supports 1t.
The objectives of the bill. without
a doubt, are supported by the great
majority OF the people Of the United
States. call your attention to the
recent Endorsement by Mr.. Wendell
L. Willkie. He made a statement
reading in part as follows:
I have examined this bill in
the light of the current emer-
gency and I personally have come
to the conclusion that, with mod
1flcation, 1t should be passed.
This Is a critical moment in
history. The United States is
not belligerent, and we hope
we shall not be. Our problem,
however, is not alone to keep
America out of war, but to keep
war out Of America. Democracy
is endangered. And the Amer
lcan people are so aware of the
danger that they have indorsed
the policy of giving full and ac-
tive aid to those democracies
which are resisting aggression.

must look into the future and act
with the knowledge Of what has
happened to other countries. What
q shameful page in history this
generation will write If we fail
through fear to do the things nee
essary for the preservation Of our
country. 1t is our duty, individually
and collectively. to see that our
Government takes those steps which
our conscience without fear tells us
are for the best interest Of this
and future generations Of America.
In closing, let me give assurance
that your elected representatives in
Congress are conscious of the grave
responsibility which rests upon
them. We shall carry forward the
defense program in harmony with
the American way of life and in ac-
cordance with our democratic form
Of government. We are determined
to do everything in our power to
insure that war shall not come to
America.

Recovery Under Way
Despite Dark Future,
Economist Says
War Of Exterminution'
Seen if U. S. Enters
World Conflict
~ the Associated Press.

~ ths Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Jan. 21-Dr. Neil Ca
rothers, dean of the school of busi-
ness administration of Lehigh Uni
versity, asserted today that despite
adverse conditions, there is an ir-
resistible and unstoppable impulse
to recovery in our economic order
1T can be retarded and delayed
but it cannot be stopped" he de-
clared in 4 text prepared for sub
mission to the National Gamers
Association Convention. In the
past 10 years this impulse has re-
peatedly broken forth, only to re-
cede. But it always starts again"
Invasion Held "Unthinkable."
Saying that none could predict the
outcome OF the European war, DR..
Carothers averred:
If the totalitarian powers win
those powers will control the seas
Those powers hate America. They
envy us our wealth and resources
and standard of living. They have
the consciences of wolves. They
would seize this country today if
they could. That they could or
would invade this country is un-
thinkable. 1t it high time that men
stop talking about invasion of Amer
lea. 1t breeds panic and leads to
foolish and destructive action"
United States participation in the
war, he said, would probably mean
a world war of determination. 1t
would create a hell on earth, a pc
Rod Of universal suffering, starva-
ton and death. 1t would mean a
revolution in our institutions OF gov
eminent and industry"
"On Eve Of Better Times"
DR.. Carothers asserted the Nation
vas "on the eve of better times"
despite the increased taxation and
mounting deficit that will arise from
expenditures for national defense.
Notwithstanding conditions, he af-
hrmed, I'VE shall have for a time a
sort of prosperity.
capable economists know that
you cannot spend your way into re-
covery. No nation has ever done
1t, though many have tried. But
every economist knows that govern
ment spending is kind of economic
stimulant. This gigantic spending
program is going to stimulate bust
ness and accelerate the natural
progress Of recovery"

dangers demand that 4 certain
amount OF authority be delegated.
In our democracy there is, In my
opinion, no more appropriate place
to delegate authority than to the
President, who Is chosen by the en-
tire electorate. The President and
Vice President are the only men in
public life whose constituency is the
whole Nation. To me it is better
to delegate power to an elective
ofiicial than to an appointive ON
cial. I can assure you that the lead
ers in Congress are not opposed to
proper time-limitation amend
ment, or to any other reasonable
amendments which would not in
terfere with the objectives of the
bill.
Practically all members of Con-
gress Vho oppose this bill are those
who have opposed the major recon-
mendations of the President on
foreign policy. Good men they are
but blind to the dangers that con-
front our country.
Many Misleading Statements.
Many misleading statements are
being made about this bill. For in
stance, on the floor of the House OF
Representatives a few days ago IL
was said that the bill would auto
matically repeal the johnson Act
and the Neutrality Act. As q mat
ter of fact, the johnson Act would
not be affected because it does not
apply to this Government or to a
Government corporation. The Neu-
trality Act would not be nullified
The enactment Of the bill would
not affect the Neutrality Act in
the slightest degree so far as ac-
tions of private individuals in the
United States are concerned. 1t
would permit the following acts by
the Government, however, which
are prohibited to private individ-
uals by the Neutrality Act: Loans

Machine of 1000 Cures
Amazes Skeptical Judge

An amazed circuit court Judge in
Indianapolis recently heard testimo-
ny about and saw a strange ma
chine which witnesses said could
cure" badness, locate oil wells
and make long distance diagnosis
of Adolf Hitler.
The testimony was presented be-
fore Judge Herbert E. Wilson in
suit of DR.. He'll Eugene Crum, Indi-
annapolis, seeking reversal of an or
der of the state board of medical
registration which revoked his IL
cense as "drugless" physician aft
er Crum had advertised claims for
the machine.
Testimony was vague on the me-
chanics of the machine-knoWn as
"coetherator" Crum was def
mite in claims that it could deter.
mine the sex of unborn children,
eradicate weeds, lengthen legs, fer
tilize fields, sound for oil and "cure
diseases, including cancer and tu-
berculosis."

than 1000 patients with the machine
and had failed in not more than six
cases.
The machine is a wooden box with
portfolios covered with colored pa
per. 1t contains an electric light
bulb, controlled by dial, and tube
Of chemicals.
Hleronymus said the machine was
based on the science of "etheron-
les, a science of diagnosing human
ailments through tuning in on the
vibrations of human. He said he
had experimental and found a dag
nosis could be made by having the
subject place an unexposed photo
graphic negative on his head and
concentrate on a symbol in a dark
room.
IF the subject concentrates
enough the symbol will appear on
the negative when it is developed"
he said.
Such diagnosis could be accom-
plished at long distances, he said.
and, as an example, said such a
diagnosis could be made even of
Adolf Hitler.

Baby Death Rate Drops
One-Fifth in Five Years

Each year about 1000. 900 babies
are born in the United States. One
fact revealed in a report about them
is that during the FIVE years from
1884 to 1889 our baby death rate
dropped 20 per cent.
Even at that, some $4,000 babies
died between the second and twelfth
month Of their lives and, sad to saw
many of them could have been
saved. There has been little or no
decline in the death rate of babies
from one day to one month old, and
there are still $4,000 stillbirths ev.
cry year.
Under the social security act. an
proximately 100000 children benefit
from the program giving aid to de-
pendent children. Because of the
acceptance of responsibility for our
children by the government agen.
cies during the depression, some
5000, 600 children are at the present
time receiving economic aid in Their
homes.
Surgeon-General Thomas F. Par
ran of the U. S. public health serv.
ice, in his report, states:
New horizons are ahead of US in
the attainment of national health
New knowledge and surer weapons
offer US, as parents, real hope for
better health of our children and g
citizens, hope for a strong America ;.
