Dear Sir:
NNE weeks survey of
~ radio and newspaper
comments on our COM
mon reaction to the ApOca-
lyptic happenings since Japan
suddenly dropped her flag of
truce and blazed away at Us,
should convince even the
frozen minded that never in
our history have we been as
united as we are now. When
Congress met, on December
3, TO declare that a state OF
war had existed for twenty
four hours and would con
tinue until the enemy stacked
up his weapons in defeat,
there was but one dissenting
voice. When, three days later,
|, the German and Italian chal-
! lenges were met by a quick
formal inclusion of them in
our list Of foes. no one voted
nay. This is unique.
The Young eolonists who
tnak 20 arms against Eng
land i'm l116 were labeled mil
liant radicals by thousands
of their Tory feIlow-Ameri-
cans. The Mexican War and
its resultant anneXaiiOns
alarmed large section Of our
people. Need ] say that we
were split in two by the Civil
War! We were two camps~Of
thought a. we'll a two oppos-
ing armies and the two
groups did not equate either.
Some Of us recall that there
was much speculation about
the grounds for our brief
campaign against Spain in
1898, big business being ar
rowed aS the basic cause as
often AZ were General Wey-
Icr's eNcesseS i'm Cuba. We
were not unanimous in 1917,
when Wilson sent our millions
across the Atlantic. The sub
sequent enthronement of
state totaIism in Europe gave
the opponents Of participa-
ion their most valid argu-
yment against il.
Today there are no diVi-
Sions and no factions. There
j. no disagreement, no hold
ing back. \ powerful, re-
sourCefuI. undefeateG nation
Of our opposites in thinking
and in emotions, without
warning, without signaling
ahead. in utter disregard Of
the final effects Of its outlaw
conduct, attacked our nation
ais and DESTROYED our goods.
In sclf-defense and TO prevent
further invasion of our lands
and our rights. we are now at
war. Our men and the metal
we have forged into sea and
air ships are now locked in
mortal combat with no mean
adversary. The outcome is not
practicable, unless we think
in terms of years, five, six,
perhaps eight. We will pre-
vail. we must prevail or live
lives that others will plan for

Rail Expert Is Named
To Direct Tank Car
Oil Shipments
Use Under Rate Cuts
Expected to Ease
Shortage in Eost
BY the Associated Press.

Ralph Park Russell, Hanover
Pa), railroad traffic authority,
started today to enlist the Nations
rail resources to relieve the Eastern
seaboard's oil and petroleum short
age.
Mr.. Russell, car service superin-
tendent of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road, was named by Ralph K.
Davies, acting co-ordinator of the
Defense Petroleum Office. as chief
of the agency's rail transportation
section. Mr.. Davies said Mr.. Russell
would devote his full time to rail-
road transportation problems ap-
plicable to the oil and petroleum
shortage situation.
Volunteered to Cut Rates.
Previously, the railroads volun-
teered to reduce rates for Oil and
gasoline shipments by tank cars
after the petroleum industry had
agreed to utilize all available tank
cars to transport gasoline and oil
from the producing areas to the
East.
The railroads proposal was given
prompt Endorsement by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, which
agreed to approve the new rates
within a day after their submission
instead of the usual 30-day period.
There was no immediate indica-
tion, however, that the Russell ap-
pointment and the railroad agree
ment would result in a quick end
of the gasoline sales curtailment
program. A spokesman for the oil
co-ordinator's Office said that night
ly filling station curfews and re-
duced deliveries of motor fuel 20
dealers would continue in the East
until there was guaranteed reserve
supply for industrial, civilian and
defense needs.
Is Per Cent Cut for Many.
The Office of the Defense Petrol
cum Co-ordinator said today that
the Eastern overall cut of 10 per
cent in gasoline consumption, con-
tinuing through September, would
mean that many filling stations
without customers in the essential
classification will have supplies cut
by Is per cent. Harry Wainwright
research director for the local re-
tailers, said that this cut already is
in effect for most Washington sta
tions.
Leon Henderson, price admin
istration chief, told a Senate COM
mittee yesterday that construction
of pipe lines was needed to solve
the oil situation. Mr.. Henderson said
that pipe lines would be hole cards

Ruled Subject 10 Tax
Bv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Sept. 6.-Shares OF
stock of credit unions are subject
to assessment by the Maryland State
Tax Commission under a ruling by
Attorney General William c. Walsh,
The opinion, handed down by Mr..
Walsh yesterday and directed to
Tax Commission Chairman Harry
o. Levin, fatty rejected a ruling
by one of Mr.. Walsh's predecessors,
Thomas H. Robinson, attorney gen.
eral during part of the late Gov
Ritchie's administration.
The former attorney generals
opinion was based upon a false
assumption and we are compelled
to differ with his conclusion" Mr..
Walsh said, adding that its only
basis was the fact that credit
unions are exempt from all taxa
ton, except as to real estate.
But the exemption of credit
unions from taxation does not ex-
empt the shares of such corpora
tions. This point has been ex-
pressly decided by. the Court of Ap-
peals."
