In East by 0dlin

day told members of the Tacoma
kiwanis club in Hotel Winthrop
he was amazed and startled by
display of anxiety of officials in
charge of military preparations,
which he witnessed in Washington.

He said he was equally amazed
by the show of indifference on
the part of those who are using
the nations extremity as a bar
gaining ground for favors and
power"
America was said to be faced
with a crisis which could only be
overcome by complete cooperation
Of the people in supplying the
nations needs. the paying of large
taxes and through conception Of
the task faced by each citizen.
Taxes. he said. should be heavy
enough to eounterbalance the
sudden production and forestall
possible initiation.

that have ruled financial markets
