New Tax Notes Raise
81 Million in Two DAYS
b, the Associated Press.

B, the Associated Press.
The Treasury said today cash re-
ceipts from the sale of tax pre-
payment notes in the first four days
totaled $50 ,272 1926.
Actual sales, officials added, may
have been much larger, since most
purchasers placed orders after the
sales began on August l with local
banks. The orders then had to go
to the Federal Reserve banks and
the Treasury figure recorded only
transactions completed by the Fed
eral Reserve banks and reported to
the Treasury by mail.
The new notes, the first of their
kind ever issued, are designed so
that purchasers can turn them back
to the Treasury in payment of next
years income taxes, expected to be
the highest in history.

u. 5. Ship Is Sought
To Bring Americans
Home From Japan
800 Lack Means of
Transportation if
Need Arises
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Aug. GA number of
requests that the Washington Gov
ernment arrange for an American
ship to call here to take United
States citizens home have been re-
ceived by the United States En-
bassy from stranded Americans.
Since the japanese suspended all
direct steamship services to the
United States, more than 600
Americans in Japan have no means
of getting home should the need
arise.
More than 100 of them, including
many whose businesses have been
halted by the reciprocal freezing of
assets here and in the United States,
had arranged to leave this week on
japanese liners whose sailings have
been Cancelled chiefly the Nitta
Maru and the Hikawa Maru.
Diverting of Liner Sought.
Many of the requests suggest that
the liner President Coolidge, now
running from San Francisco to
China ports and the PHILIPPINES, be
diverted to japanese port.
The Embassy places the number
of United States citizens in the Jap
aneSe empire at 65l, excluding
American-porn japanese. These re-
manned here after several hundred
women, children and men in nom
essential positions had been with
drawn as the result of WaShingtOn'S
advice to leave the Orient.
The Americans are unable now
even to get to Shanghai, where they
might catch a home-bound steamer.
since reservations are not available
on ships to China ports.
% Officials Stranded.
Among those stranded are % Off
cials, including II Army and Navy
officers who have been here as
language students and were ordered
to other posts when American
Japanese relations became strained.
Since the freezing of assets many
Americans are near exhaustion of
their cash, without any prospect of
an early release of funds. The En-
bassy, whose funds also are frozen,
is unable to help them.

Jewish Flag Flies
At International
Labor Meet

NEW YORK (SpeciaD-At a
luncheon rendered this week in
honor of the workers delegates to
the international Labor Conference
at Columbia University, the Jew
ish flag flew proudly in the COM
pany of banners representing the
33 nations at the gathering. The
luncheon was arranged by the
American Committee to Aid Brit
.ish Labor, of which Matthew VOL
is chairman.
The international Labor Organ
ization, comprised of spokesman
for the governments, industry and
labor is the only functioning arm
of the League of Nations, and
was invited to the White House
last Thursday for a special talk
with President Roosevelt.
The only labor movements at
tending the gathering without ac-
credited government representa-
tion were the Histadrut Of Pales-
tine and the Free French. On a
motion sponsored by Walter Shev-
enals, general secretary of the In
ternational Federation of Trade
Unions, the distadrut was unan-
imously invited to participate IN
the deliberations of the workers
group of the I. L. o. Israel Mere
minski, secretary of the Histadrut
now in the United States acted
as it's delegate.
Schevenals, addressing a luncn-
con of the Trade Union Division
of the National Labor Committee
for Palestine last Wednesday told
of the warning he gave the gov
ernments of western Europe as
early as 1887, that the Arab rlots
in Palestine were prelude to real
warfare against democracy. he
related that the trade union move
ment of Europe provided means
for Jewish self-defense during the
riots. After the war, he said' ne
was confident that the jewish
homeland would be restored.

epidemic.
The weeks program was eli
NAKED by a rally at Georgia
Tech auditorium where 1000 per-
sons crowded to hear a flying
trio" of religious leaders, Pres
byterian minister, a Catholic
priest and a. Jewish rabbi, recently
returned from a months visit in
England, Ireland and Scotland.
Typical of the appeal carried to
students throughout the state
were the words of DR.. M. Ashby
Jones, Atlanta church leader. He
declared:
Freedom of thought, of speech
and of worship is the life breath
of democracy, and it cannot en-
dure without it. And we must
face the ugly truth today, that
with all our boosted freedom, it is
not always safe in America for
minorities to differ with MAORI
ties. Georgia is not safe for diff
ferences' so long as her citizens
are threatened with punishment
for the books they read, the opin-
ions they express, the votes they
cast, or the religion which they
profess.
1--WE may indeed be the inheri-
tors of the best of every civiliza-
ton, as the cross currents of all
history coverage in our national
life. If the day ever comes when
any power, political or ecclesias-
teal, can force us into a deadly
conformity of political or religious
creed, forcing us to goose-step to
the same altar and prattle the
same words, both the freedom and
the beauty of our American life
will be destroyed"
The trio which addressed the
rally at Georgia Tech included DR..
Everett r. Clinchy, president of
the National Conference of Chris
tians and Jews; Father Vincent c.
Donovan, head of the Catholic
Thought Association; and Rabbi
Morris S. Lazaron of Baltimore, a
native of Savannah.

INV sons, see these sticks.
Here take one and easily break
1. and you can do the same. But
low take those sticks and put
hem together and neither 1 nor
nv of you can break them.''
This old parable of unity was
ear again this week with the re-
bort of the death of Simon Gug-
kenheim, the last but one of the
even sons of old Myer Guggen-
elm, founder of the great copper
|ortune. The story of the sticks
as been told about Rothschild
nd his sons and probably was
Mythical then also, but it afforded
good illustration of the unity
Il a family in the case of Guggen-
elm as it did in the case of
.othschild.
In the ROthschild instance, that
nifty was to rebound to no incon-
iderabIe benefit to the Jewish
EOrId but the ties of the Guggen-
eims to Jewish interests were
ery thin and with the years as
he older Guggenheims disappear
ID, the younger offspring appar-
|ntly have BEEN almost wholly
evered from the Jewish stream.
And yet in one sense, it might
e said that the Guggenheims
Tere and emphatically Jewish, for

be family and philanthropy while
monopoly of Jews might be said
beNa virtue in which Jews dis
lay more than average excell-
nee. It is said Of Simon Guggen-
elm who has just died, that he
OCCASIONALLY would say, "Iave' a
chool on me-" The most notable
|hilanthropies of the Guggenheims
ave been the Guggenheim found
ton for the aid of scholars and
that might be called the Lind
'ergh foundation. Yes, it was the
fuggenheim fortune which large
made possible the Lindbergh of
pday.
1t was the Guggenheim aero
auto fund which took Lindbergh
hand upon his return from his
light to Paris. Poor as the pro-
erbial church mouse at the time,
he only way for Lindbergh ito
Rsh in" at the time in a big way
as by means of a Hollywood con-
act.
He would have done so very
kelly had not the Guggenheim
und given him some quarter of a
billion dollars. Had he grown
|ealthy the Hollywood way, the
restige of Lindbergh would have
astly diminished, for Lindbergh
ives most of his prestige to the
ngle quality of his aloofness and
dependence. He could thumb
IS nose at Hollywood. Well, peo-
e who can thumb their nose at
g interests whatever they may

Prtune made it possible for Lind
ergh to do this thumbing of the
pse and now in gratitude he is

UNION OF NATIONS
 FOIL TO ANARCHY
Dr. Vernon Nash Suggests Answer to Present Un=
 settled Conditions

Stating that the alternative of international anarchy is inter national government Dr. Vernon Nash, addressing group of seven hundred at the Waterbury Commun- ity Forum last night said, T am a fanatic in the belief that there can be no solution to the problems that now face us apart from world union
 Dr. Nash, associate director o1 Federal Union Inc, has taught al Yenching University, China and wa: at one time professor of Journalism at the University of Missouri. He has spent much time abroad, and is an authority on world wide politica affairs. Among the books he has written is ''The Alternative to In- ternational Anarchy, which was the subject of his lecture.
 He drew parallels between inter- national federations such as he ad- vocates and the federation of union which binds the 49 United States pointing out that the United States was far from homogeneous in its formative stages.
 To-day" he declared i've hear oi two possible solutions: One is isolation, the other is interventional- ism. But there is a third course, Federal Union, which avoids the dangers of the other two"
 The speaker proceeded to analyze isolationiSm and interventionalism pointing out the weakness and faults of each. "Isolationism is a policy of selfishness," he asserted.
 By Union Now, said Dr. Nash, we mean Union soon, and the quicker the better. He, urged that the first step taken be union with Great Britain. Other nations would follow gradually, thus absorbing all nations eventually. But immediate formation of neucleus group is necessary said Dr. Nash.
 Asked how Hitler victory would effect the federation scheme, Dr. Nash replied that with nations lined up in union. F't'er victory could not affect World Union.

The monetary difficulties of orphan" colonies and dependencies cut off from their countries have resulted in curious problems and makeshift solutions.
 Contracts made with Uncle Sam's Mint for coinage of foreign money in 1941 include two large orders from such colonies. The Netherlands East Indies has asked the United States to mint one hundred and forty million coins and French Indo- China has placed an order for sev- enty-five million. The U. s. Mint will produce these coins at cost, as a gesture of friendship and as an aid to these Allied possessions faced with currency problems that have followed in the wake of European hostilities.
 The experience of French Indo- China is an example of the tr1bu- lations of a government which no longer can draw upon its home mint and is contending against the hoarding of coins among its own people. A shortage of coins in French Indo-C China appeared even before war was definitely declared. It became more acute when France entered the conflict. The local treasury experienced great difficulty in meeting the demands of the public

flor coin, and the stock of small silver was exhausted in a few months. It is believed that much coin was shipped out of the country Some was melted and converted into jewerly by the natives. The govern ment substituted nickel coins, hoping to stop the flight, but. such coirs, inturn, continued to disappear des- pite the need in commercial trans actions. Several Chinese merchants were discovered hoarding bags of one-cent copper coins, and the gov ernment was forced to take drastic action against such hoarders. Tin one-cent pieces were than placed in circulation in March, 1940, to aid the situation and plans were dis cussed to try coins of various colors and sizes of unbreakable glass. Re- beating the expedients used during the World War of 1914-1918, frac- tional paper currency in fifty, twen- ty and ten cent denominations has been printed to meet the shortage of coins.
 Scattered reports from other col- onieS indicate that similar necessi- ties exist and are being met in the same way. The Island of Malta has issued regulations for the preven- tion of hoarding of silver and copper coins and no longer permits any individual to keep in his possession silver currency in excess of two British pounds, Or copper coins in excess of ten shillings. This British colony has also issued a large num- Der of paper notes of small demom- nations In many instances, lack of coins is sufficient seriously to hamper small business transactions essential in everyday existence.

Sturgis, who has cast horoscopes of President Roosevelt, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, John Edgar Hoover, Eleanora Duse Charlie Chaplin and many other notables, found that San Francisco is to assume in the next 10 years a new leadership in the world.
 San Francisco will be reborn in 1941, and then will start a universal renaissance that will spread to both the state and the entire nation, , Sturgis declared. Tt will then realize the greatest opportunity of its history.
 simultaneously, San Francisco, as the result of a great educational movement, will develop a leader, who, through a 10-year plan, which he actually started in 1889, will materialize with ever increasing success until 1949.
 And this progressive program, awakening civic consciousness, will bring him the highest honors in this city and in this state between 1941 and 1944.
 ''It will then raise him to nation al prestige and power between 1945 and 1947."
 Sturgis did not name the com ing San Francisco, state and na- tion&l leader, but described him as "a constructor-a sower of harmony "a liberator of the mind-who will awaken this city as it has never been awarkened before
 Under this new leadership, Stur- gis declared there will be surpris- ing advancement in science, art, philosophy and the New Age kind of religion.
 "This state, this city" his horo- scope predicted, will carry on the French and Partisan democracy and culture. It will have a theater like the Odeon of Paris (state maintain ed) with universal plays that edu- cate people. ,.
