Kidding Itself

Washington seemingly is eager
10 kid itself now exactly as II
did when il rushed through
enormous d e re n re appropria-
tons.
Having passed a law" calling
for naval and mercantile ships
galore. for awesome fleets of
bombers and other fighting air.
craft, for myriads of big and
medium and little and small
tanks, Washington figured that
that was that. that now they
had made the nation impreg-
nable and had sounded the
death-knell of the dictators.
They betrayed not the slight
est conception of the difference
between appropriations and ac-
Qualities, between fleets on order
and fleets on the ocean or in the
air, between blueprint tanks and
manufactured tanks.
Now Washington is anxious to
demand the registration of every
male from 18 to 81. to make
fighters out of youths in their
teens and others old enough to
be the latter's fathers.
General Hershey is doing his
best to inject common sense into
the Historically minded gentle
men at Washington bent upon
passing grandiose law which,
on paper. would be calculated to
cause Hitler. Mussolini and Toto
to hoist the white flag pronto.
Washington is hoarsely shout
ing 10 US that we must remain
cool. calm, that we must con-
quer fear and preserve tran
guilty.
According to General Hershey,
Washington very badly needs to
follow its own advice.

Washington Urged
To Avoid .1ysteria.

BY B. C. FORBES

There's hysteria and hysteria.
The highest in the land can be-
come as panicky as ordinary
folks. Symptoms of it have
broken out at Washington.
Brig. -Gen. Lewis B. Hershey.
selective service director, is
doing his best to combat "hys-
teria"-that's the word he uses
over clamorous attempts to
rush through legislation lower
ing and raising the present age
for the draft.
Whereas sit is being urged
upon Congress to call upon all
men from Is 10 64. inclusive, to
register. and TO lower the draft
age TO 10 and raise ii to A. Gen.
eral Hershey, who presumably
knows more about the subject
than any other individual, de-
clares without any reservation:
I'VE can meet the situation
To-Day ana tomorrow WIN me

to-35."
He wouldn't know what to do
with the 100000 men who
would be embraced by the 19-to-
Al classification. A round million
Of 21-to-27 draftees remain to
be called up. Next. are other
millions between % and 35. And,
the directing head of the draft
emphasizes, a million Americans
reach 81 each year.
Little wonder General Her.

Washington:
