 REJECTED IN DAY
Between 5000 and 4,OOO Have To Be Inspected
 Before Sunday

With the approach of the dead line for the testing of automobiles at the Thomaston avenue lane, corl- gestion is on the increase. Some procrastinating Waterburians re- ported today that they spent three hours worming their way up to the lane, and through 1t.
 Yesterday, according to Clarence F. Roberts, supervisor, 8 record number of l205 cars went through the tortuous process during the day. and of that total 285 suffered the humiliation of rejection. They will, of course, have to make a return trip when present defects are cor- rected.
 The prospect of further jams and further crowded days for the in- spectors looms ahead, as there re. main between three and four thou- sand cars to be tested before the end of the inspection period, Sat- urday at 5 p. m. Any cars not in- spected by that time will be suh- ject to penalty according to law.
 According to Mir. Roberts, he and his staff have inspected 33,000 cars since the 10th of March.

Increases in the workers cost of living, on the one hand, and ex- cessive profits for the manufactur- CT, on the other, lead to spiraling demands for higher wages. This means friction between employer and employed.
 Great profits are reaped by some, while others, with fixed and low in- comes, find their living standards drastically reduced and their life long savings shrunken. The un- skilled worker, the white collar work CTS, the farmer, the small business man and the small investor all find that their dollai buys ever less and less.
 Burden of Defense
 "The burden of defense is thrown haphazardly and inequitably on those with fixed income or whose bargaining power is too weak to secure increases in income con- mensurate with rise in the cost Of living. And over all hovers the specter of future deflation and de- pression to confuse and retard the defense effort and inevitably to aggravate the dangers and difficult ties of a return to normal peace time basis"
 America, Mir Roosevelt said is willing to accept economic sacrl- fees cheerfully, but 1t must never face sacrifices entailed in un- bridled imitation.
 we are determined that the sac- rifice of one shall not be the profit of another" he said, Nothing will sap the morale of this nation more quickly or ruinously than penalizing its sweat and skill and thrift by the individually undeserved and un- comfortable poverty of imitation.
 "Our objective, therefore, must be to see that imitation, arising from the abuse of power, to increase prices because the supply is limited and the demand infleXible, does not occur during the present emer- gency." ,
 But, he said, the vicious spiral of imitation already has begun, The labor statistics indices of 28 basic commodities had advanced 50 per cent beyond the August, 1889, level by the end of June, On that in crease, 24 per cent had been regis tered since last January, he said. The labor statistics index of 300 wholesale prices advanced 17 l-2 per cent over the same period, regis tering 10 per cent of the total up- ward spiral since January: .
 For the same period, the overall cost of living has advanced 5 l-2 per cent, with 3 1-2 per cent being registered since January 1, and the upward pressure is now intense"
 Tn a single month from the middle of May to the middle of June, the cost of living jumped ? per cent" he said. During the last quarters the increase in the cost of living was greater than during any similar period since the World War"

Eden Warns Japan

London, July 30-(UP)-Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden today urged Japan to reflect, while there is time, as to where her present policy is leading the country.
 q cannot believe that the states manship of Japan is entirely dead or blind" Eden said in the House of Commons.
 q sincerely trust that those re- sponsible for the destinies of the Japanese empire will reflect while there is yet time whither the pres- ent policy is leading them"
 Eden said that in addition to freezing Japanese credits and other economic measur es against Japan steps have been taken to withdraw ships warrants from Japanese ship ping lines"
 He said that Japan, by successive acts of aggression, was responsible for her own encirclement because adjacent countries had been forced to act in self defense. He blamed Japan for the worsening in Anglo Japanese relations.
 Tt is a matter of regret to tht government that their relations with Japan should have reached thu present state but the fault does no lie with the British government, measures taken by the British 1T Eden said.
 Eden reiterated that he was un' able to explain in detail the defense In Malaya.

 The note said: gro La Paz: Ii find impossible to deposit in Lima, adhere strictly to orders received at ambassadors conference held at Santiago"
 The committee interpreted the note to mean that the radio appa- ratus had been shipped here after 1t had been refused in Peru, where it originally was consigned. The orders apparently were outlined at meeting of German Ambassador Edmund von Thermann with Er- nest Wendler, then German minis- ter to Bolivia, and other German diplomats at Santiago, Chile.
 It was understood that the con- mittee would investigate Italian Fascists, Spanish Falangists and ultra-nationalists after completing It's inquiry into Nazi activities in Argentina.

 German Spy Suspect
 Havana, July 30-(UP)-President Fulgencio Batista disclosed today that Q declaration of q state of na. tional emergency is being prepared by the government.
 Batista said he was "astounded' at the character of evidence seized from Fernando Ernesto Hummer, arrested as German spy suspect.
 He said emergency powers would not be invoked immediately, but would be authorized for use in the event of Q declaration of war.
 There is Q latent state of con. spiracy undermining Cuba's demo. cratic regime" he said.

 A lone Japanese destroyer steamed up the river and anchored 8 mile from the docks.
 Additional Japanese warships were expected imminently.
 It was estimated that 1t would take several days to disembark the formidable Japanese army which has been assigned to southern 1ndo- China and is bringing with 1t full war equipment.
 Travellers from up the coast re- ported that Japanese troops had been landed from three transports on strategically valuable MIA Trang Island. The occupation there was effected without hitch, informants said, and the Japanese troops main- tained perfect discipline.
 Saigon itself remained calm, de. spite anxiety over the possibility of incidents between the Japanese and Indo-China defense forces and civilians.

 It was expected that Hopkins would be able to reassure the Rus- sian leaders of American deter mination to support the Soviet Union as an enemy of NaN Ger many.
 As the result of his talks here with Prime Minister Winston Chur. chill and other British leaders, Hop. kins was in position to know what United States deliveries Britain IS able to forego in Russia's favor.
 Moscow was understood to have encountered difficulties in trying to buy arms and munitions in tne United States. It was understood that Hopkins in his consultations would attempt to inravel this knot.
 Grave Far East Situation
 Although Hopkins was understood to have gone to Moscow primarily to talk supplies, his arrival coin cided with a grave Far Eastern sit- uation and diplomatic experts would not be surprised if he took occa- sion to discuss informally mutual United States Russian interests in East Asia, aimed at keeping peace in the Pacific.
 It was not known how long Hop kins would remain in Moscow but 1t was assumed that he would dis cuss every aspect of the air prob lem, seeking to find exactly what Russia needed from the United States and what forms of aid would be the most practicable in view of the vast distances which separate the United States an6 Russia, both of which span tho

 Hopkins's mission here had been to find what Britain needed and had been expected that he would return to Washington at once. Ills flight to Moscow was regarded sS of the greatest importance, and in addition 1t was tacit evidence that Britain and American leaders fore- saw the possibility that Russia's present stout resistance would make the RuEso-G German war a long one.
 Capital Not Surprised
 Washington, July 30-(UP)-High officials here said today that liar. " Hopkins visit to Moscow may have been ordered to provice in- formation for President Roosevelt, rather than to indicate any spec tacular developments in the lend lease program.
 The White House refused to coIn- ment. Presidential Secretary Ste- phen T. Early said frankly that dispatches disclosing Hopkins ar- rival in the Russian capital sur prised him.
 But 1t was learned that high government officials while not an- ticipating the Moscow trip, were not unduly surprised when he ap- peared there. It was pointed out that Hopkins is acting as MT. Roosevelt's "eyes and ears" in Europe, and that quick jump to Moscow would be 1 necessary. if he Is to present a com- plete report on the entire Euro pean picture when he returns to | Washington.

NATIONAL INCOME
AND NATIONAL DEBT

TO many persons it may be sur
prising that thi syear, with our ma
tional income greater than in 1929,
interest charges on total debts in
the United States will be only about
S6,300,000,000, compared to about
$500, 100000 in 1929, a reduction
of about $3,OO0,OOO,OO0 or one-third.
1t is important that we under
stand why we have been able to
carry an increased Federal debt
and still have interest charges on
al debts less than N 1929.
Most of the increase in the Fed
eral debt since 1892 has been due
to the fact that private capital, in
the face of world preparations for
war could not expand sufficiently
to restore full employment and pur-
chasing power.
More recently the increase in
the Federal debt has been due to
the need for building our defense
to prevent being engulfed by ag-

O'CONOR'S BASEBALL

When it comes 20 baseball, Gov
ernor Herbert O'COnor is no mere
radio Or newspaper fan. Fact is.
that watching a baseball game
with bag of peanuts is to the
Governor of Maryland recreation
OF a high order.
O'Conor admitted this himself
IN a letter to the Eastern Shore
SpOrts-Writers Association when
they entertained two Eastern ShO'
baseball luminaries, Jimmy Fox
formerly OF Sudlersville, playing
with the Bosox and Bill Nicholson,
the Chestertown boy, playing with
the Cubs.
Unable to attend the dinner.
O'Conor wrote a letter confessing
as follows: 1.-TWO years ago, dur
ing the Chicago Democratic Con-
vention. couldn't resist the temp
tatiOn to miss the convention ses-
siOns long enough to pay visit to
Wrigley field to see Bill Nicholson
in action. And | still remember
that it was his homer in the 11th
that broke up the game"

proceeds to outline the proper
course for the U. S. A. to travel,

WORTH FIGHTING FOR

The enemies of the President call
him unfit when he is cautious and
a dictator" when he demands ac-
ton. We must pay no attention to
them. Nor be misled by them.
And, if the time should come
when our treasure is not enough
and the president issues the call to
arms-we must not hesitate
The shackles Of slavery are not
for us. nor will we who are de-
scendants of free men permit
thieves to loot us of the fruits of
our efforts, and of those who came
before us - our ancestors who
took a wilderness and transformed
it into a land of milk and honey.
1t is worth fighting for worth
uniting for - and | doubt there is
any American fully understanding
the catastrophe dangers we are
facing who would hesitate to do his
share. (Charles Benedict in
THE Magazine of Wall Street").

gression.
that private long-term debts will
be about $10,QOOO00,000 less than
in 1929, private short-term debts
about $13,OOO,O 100000 less, State
and local government debts about
$4,000. 100000 greater, and the net
debt of the Federal Government
about 0,000000,00O greater Thus
the total Of these debts, which in
1910 was $4,000, 100000 less than in
1929, will this year be about $10,-
100000 greater than in 1929; but
interest charges, because of lower
interest rates, will be fully $4,000
100000 less than in 1929.
SO far we have fought our way
out of the economic depression and
have made headway on our defense
program without any real burden
to the Nation as a whole. This is
clear from the fact that this years
interest charge son private long
ter mand government debts are
only per cent of the national in
come, whereas in 1892 they amount
ed to more than Is per cent of a
national income that had been cut
in two and to rs per cent of the
national income in 1929.

If we can keep this healthy re-
latiOn between the Nations capac-
ity to carry its justifiable debts
and the interest costs, we have lit
tie to worry about.
We will have little to fear if we
do all in our power to maintain a
relatively stabel price level and
if we don't allow unemployment
and curtailed purchasing power to
develop. - (Vice-President Henry

w. MD. COAL MINE

If Clarence Miles of Baltimore,
and Attorney General Bill Walsh
of Cumberland ever needed
friend in court they need one now.
Miles and Walsh represent the
Western Maryland heirs of the
Mccullough Coal Corporation
whose mine at Friendsville in
Garrett County is about to be shut
down because the government has
condemned II miles of railroad
serving the mine. This II miles
of the Confluence and Oakland
Railroad runs through an area
which the government needs for a
control dam.
The government is willing to pay
the railroad $306,0O0 for the loss
incurred, but not so the McCul-
Tough coal heirs. For although the
government would not flood the
coal mine or cause direct injury to
it's operation nevertheless shut
ting off the only available transpor-
tation would mean the end of the
mine.
Miles and Walsh have fought
abandonment of the vital railroad
tracks before the Maryland Public
Service Commission. They have
also appealed to the Interstate
Commerce Commission and the U.
S. District Court for Maryland. But
all have ruled in the governments
favor.
There are still two rays OF hope
One is the Supreme Court OF the
United States, the other is Con

peal to the Supreme Court is not
