Noel Coward Warns
Japan Of Strength
OF u. ). Fleet
Aetor-Author, Now Special
British Envoy, to Report
In Washington Sunday

B, the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 21.-Play-
wrightActor Noel CoWard-now an
unofficial ambassador of goodwill for
the British Ministry of Informal
tion-said today 1T would be very
unwise for Japan to take issue with
the United States Fleet in the Pa
cific Ocean"
Completing a mission which took
him to Australia, New Zealand and
the Far East, Mr.. Coward arrived
in New York for brief visit before
reporting to Australian Minister
Richard Casey in Washington on
Sunday.
He was reluctant to detail his OBJ
servations in the Far East, but said
in an interview that his conclusion
as to the Japanese was based on his
personal observation of the United
States Fleet at Honolulu and of the
military effort of Australia
DisclOses His Task.
For the first time, Mr.. Coward dis
closed that his mission in Australia
was that of an unofficial ambassa-
dOr-at the request of the Australian
government-"to bring Great Brit
aims war effort little closer to the
Australian people"
He said he had made many OBJ
servations which he could report di-
rectly to Mr.. Casey before he would
feel free to make them public.
During months tour of Aus
tralia, he said, he made numerous
broadcasts, telling of his experiences
in France during the early part of
the war and of the more recent de-
velopments, and added he had been
simply thrilled" by the response of
the Australian people and by the
military might which they showed
me-"
Mr.. Coward was reticent as to
possible hostilities in the Pacific. He
said he had not been allowed TO leave
his ship at Yokohama. but had
luncheon on board with United
States Ambassador Grew and heard
many interesting things"
Gives Up Writing Temporarily.
At Manila, last November, he said,
900 women. most of them wives or
members of families of United States
naval officers. boarded the vessel on
which he was travelling with orders
to return to the United States by
way OF Australia.
The playwright-famed in New
York and London for his witty plays
said he had given up all thought
of writing or acting for the present
and was awaiting any further orders
he might receive from London for
further war duties.
He said he hoped to return to
England soon, but was eager to go
anywhere or do anything" to serve
MS country.

LOS ANGELES, March 21.-Mrs.
Clover Lambert, a Navy wife. pines
for the life of a dog-speciically
Laddie.
Laddie - remember? - became so
homesick after Pvt Everett Scott
went from Kansas to Camp Ord
Calf. that an airline gave the To-
year-old Airedale free transportation
to rejoin his master.
Mrs. Lambert, a bride pining for
a long, long delayed honeymoon,
addressed her plea to the Associated
Press from her Chula Vista home
"Laddie was a one-man dog and
everybody realized there was only
one place for a dog of that type
with his master.
She's One-Man Woman.
Now, I happen to be a one-man
woman and 1 long to rejoin my
husband Joseph Lambert of
Squadron VP 13 in Manila.
I'VE were married in July. 1899
and Joe got leave for a nice leisurely
honeymoon, but 10, after five days he
was ordered to duty at Seattle.
Immediately after he returned
he was ordered to Honolulu in mass
fight. I rejoined him in January,
1910, in romantic Waikiki, where we
enjoyed a belated honeymoon and
decided, very definitely, that we'd
take the minister's word literally
and cleave unto each other until

May Die in Year
BY the Associated Press.


The War Department yesterday
said the Army Air Corps rapid ex-
panSion already had more than dou-
bled the number of flyers killed. and
officials predicted fatal accidents
would increase still further.
In the last eight months 1872 pilots
and crewmen met death, contrasting
with 88 killed in the IL months end
ing last June.
Acknowledging definite up
turn" in the rate. as well as number
of accidents, the War Department
advised that fatalities may mount
to 200 for the current fiscal year,
closing July /.
The increase was ascribed largely
to errors of flyers. whose period of
training under the pressure for
speed has been nearly halved.

For Western Nations
Being Negotiated
Army Chief of Stoff
DiscIoses ToIks With
BruziIiun Mission

American military aid TO other
republics of the Western Hemisphere
is under active negotiation, Gen.
George C. Marshall, Army chief OF
staff, told a press conference late
yesterday.
He said Brazilian mission Is here

missions are expected later. Defense
officials of American countries
made inspection tours of the United
States last fall, preliminary to
further discussions of aid which
might be extended under the lease
lend bill
OF the progress of this nations
rearming, Gen. Marshall indicated
there would be an early speedup in
training OF manpoWer and produc-
ton of airplanes.
Back in the Capital after a five
day flying visit to Southeastern
ports, he said expansion of the Air
Corps toward training rate of r.
600 pilots year by July l was pro-
ceeding on schedule.

present. there are more pilots than
planes, necessitating an inordinate
amount of flying for the planes
available, but the situation ought
to remedy itself within the next two
or three months"
His hearers took the latter remark
to mean that substantially increased
production of military aircraft was
in prospect over and above thosa
planes which will be sent to Britain.
At the same time faster rate OF
induction for selective service men
was forecast by Gen. Marshall, who
explained that due to construction
and other problems expansion of the
land forces heretofore has been on
an abnormal" basis. Now the stage
for proceeding normally has been
reached, he said.

by Congressional Joint Committee,
Senate Document No. 247, Sixty
fourth Congress, first session.
The Organic Act took away terri
torial representation in Congress and
territorial self-government and self
taxation from the District, and
pledged the Nation to meet one-haIf
of the approved expenses of Capital
maintenance and upbuilding on a
scale worthy of the Nations city.
The assumption and exercise of
absolute and exclusive legislative
power were coupled with recognition
of existing and continuing
financial obligation. The Nation
cannot equitably repudiate wholly or
in part its financial OBLIGATION and
retain or exercise its despotic and ex-
elusive power to tax and TO govern.
Full Equity Duty.
The Nation should not repudiate
its obligation in respect to Capital
maintenance, for the logical Sc
Quence Of such action is surrender of
all power and exclusive Jurisdiction
in respect to the District of Colum-
bia and the destruction of the
Nation-controlled Capital, conceived
and created by the forefathers.
The Nation should not diminish its
contributions to Capital upbuilding,
for the logical sequence of such &C
ton is surrender by the Nation of
control of the Capital municipality
to the local majority stockholders.
Power and obligation are insepara-
bly, coupled, and if the latter is
destroyed or diminished the former
Is in equity destroyed or diminished
in proportion.
The Nation. as represented by
Congress, retaining and exercising
supreme and complete control of
local government, including taxation,
should do full equity in meeting the
obligation which this power imposes.
This Obligation Recognized.
The Nation has recognized the
peculiar obligation coupled with and
proportionate to supreme power and

There have been reports that
Japan is building ships of over $4,000

worlds largest capital ship now in
commission is the British battle
cruiser Hood. $4,000 tons. The big

Mr.. Mas asserted the big ships
might carry 18-inch guns, as COM
pared with the present l6-inch
maximum, or they might stick to
the 16-inch weapons but carry a
larger number of them than do eX-
listing craft.
