Deceptions in Defense

TT WAS Madame Roland who upon ascending the scaffod
in the French Revolution, exclaimed:
80 Liberty. what crimes committed in thy name"
Were she alive today and living in America, she
might eXcaim
20 Defense what receptions are being practiced in
thy name!"
For behind these colossal appropriations for the
nations defense there billions being spent that have
NOTHING TO DO with defending the country
There is also climbing public debt that has nothing
whatever do with the army the navy or the air force
GEORGE ROTHWELL BROWN, Washington CORE
" spondent for the Hearst papers, made mastery eX-
pose recently of the game behind the taxpayers backs
In the of national defense.
He saws that of the national debt of $40 100000
there has increase of six billions over year ago.
of which NOT MORE THAN FOUR BILLIONS ARE
DUE TO THE NATIONAL DEFENSE.
Most of this stupendous debt, which threatens the
solvency Of the country created PRIOR TO The IN
AUGURATION OF THE DEFENSE PROGRAM.
But the administration spokesman now lay to defense
spending the debt overwhelming deficit and the taxes
that breaking backs and which VIII soon result
In the confscation of our big business enterprises.
AS Mr. Brown points out, the whole of the NEW
DEAL DEBT is being swallowed up in the new defense
debt.
THE same trick is being played the taxpayer with
regard to taxation.
The gradual absorption of all private income into the
NAV of the Roosevelt government through confsca-
tory taxation being brazeny soganed taxation to
save the country from invasion"
Only 65 per cent of the taxes paying is going
for defense.
The is going support vast bureaucratic cabas
and is also being used to colectivze the production of
workers and industriaists.
The New Deal and all its nefarious works were
WI he n Europe
It was godsend for the administration, but evil
for the American people, for behind the wall of
our necessary defense program there is being built
munistic state that will finally enslave them.

8-Poin+ Declaration Called
World Wide Bill Of Riqh+s
By DOROTHY THOMPSON

ing. the revolution OF free and
sane men. who hold on in hun
ger and oppression in the midst
of daily imprisonments and exc
cutionS, believing in a deliverer.
But Britain bears on her body
the scars of a terrible year. Still
free, still with all trade unions
and institutions intact, the
workers of this island toll by
their own agreement from 8 in
the morning until 7:30 at night
on limited and monotonous food.
The fortune of Britain, the
economic, social and domestic
lives of all the people have been
thrown into the scale for world
based on these eight points.
There is not a person but has
his most intimate domestic af-
fairs radically rearranged by the
exigencies of war, and only the
spontaneous genius for affec-
tionate and democratic cooper
alton that has sprung up in
Britain under pressure, danger
and the elan of recovering a lost
cause has made il possible for
President Roosevelt or anybody
else even 10 dream Of a world
envisaged in those eight points.
They can be won with Amer
lea; they hardly can be won
without us. Nor can they be
maintained in victory without
a permanent close and brotherly
collaboration between all parts
of the English-speaking world
collaboration that includes a
common naval defense, a COM
mon foreign policy and a COM
mon financial and economic pro-
gram, especially as regards the
use and disposal of surplus COM
modities.
THE United States and the
Il United Kingdom, with all
the free d m n ions, have
nothing to lose but their place
in history, and they have a
world TO gain. They can become
the focal point and liberators
of the world, or continue to
exist as secondary powers on
the periphery of the great COM
pick of Europe, Asia and Africa
which are not three continents,
but one.
But the United States cannot
change the course of history by
words. Freedom doesn't come
cheap any more; that which is
the most precious is the most
costly; that which is the most
costly is most worth the price.
But the price is not for the
pusillanimous. but for the keen,
generous, daring and brave.
60 THE eight points can be

Does the United States intend
again, as ii did in 1776. to throw
down the gauntlet 10 history
and make a bid for the future.
or will she linger on in the
futility of the last 20 years?
Will we throw off the shackles
we forged for ourselves. or help
by lethargy TO forge them for
the rest of the world? Will we
translate the Declaration of
independence and the Bill of
Rights into a code for all and
so create interdependence and

7 ONDON (by wireless)-The
~ eight points jointly put for
ward by the prime minister of
Great Britain and the President
of the United States as basis
of world peace are a revolu-
tionary document.
Simple, automatic. economical
of phraseology, they constitute
a bill of rights for nations and
for the people in those nations.
They offer no common politi-
cal formula for all men. but
recognize the right o. nations
for any form of government
they choose. provided they do
not seek to impose it upon their
neighbors.
They recognize that political
differences are not incompatible
with economic collaboration and
that such collaboration. if it be
not i'm the interests of all, must
rest upon common standards of
labor and social security.
The document again enun-
ciates a common traditional
policy Of the English speaking
nations, freedom of the seas,
and is thoroughly realistic in
proposing to disarm aggressors
while maintaining sufficient
force TO protect the aims enun-
ciated until they are trans
formed into organization and
practice.
We may presume also that
the points were elaborated after
a consultation with the govern
ments of the British common
wealth and the heads of govern
ments in London of the nations
overrun by Adolf Hitler. The
eight points forestall any peace
offensive that might be launched
by Hitler should he succeed in
break king the resistance of
Russia.
DY BEING generous. realistic
- and in harmony with the
trends of the century toward
national freedom. international
economic collaboration and So
cial and economic security they
should appeal To all reasonable
men in Germany if any such
are left in that unhappy prison
Of conscience and intelligence.
Yet, one is forced to ask, how
are we going 10 achieve this
world Of reason and realism. of
freedom and order that the
points envisage? What are they
-platitudes or a fighting. work.
ing credo? What are they for
propaganda or mobilization Of
the will?
One might well ask what right
has the United States 10 propose
such a program for the world
unless she is willing TO spend a
fortune and shed blood and stake
all upon its realization

Are you In favor of sending

Yes, sure! I'd send her all the

her triple prices for all that we

I'd send her back a thousand

I'd send her all the Com

stood my desk!
The alcove was as large as a
small-sized room. The desk, a steel

easy chairs, filled the most Of the

the walls. A large window flooded
the place with sunlight, a
lamp was SO arranged as to give
splendid light for working at night.

By CLAIR BEE Long Island University Coach

Shooting and passing, already covered, are the most important phases of offcnse but to get a chance to shoot or pass you must be able to get free of defensive men. Several things can help you do that.
 One Of the simplest is the change of pace. If you run always at the same rate of speed your guard need only match your speed and hold that pace. But by using your head-and constantly chang ing pace-you can save your feet and get free oftener. It is vital that you master change of direc- tion." Feints, starts. stops, re- verses and pivots are all important in getting an opponent off bal ance.
