AIDING EVERYBODY?

One thing should be made and
kept clear about the fight on the
"lease-lend" bill in it's present form.
It is that the issue here is not wheth-
er we shall send aid to Britain.
There are, on either side of the
"1ease-lend' argument, men of sew
eral shades of opinion on both sides
of that question-from those who be-
lieve in all aid Britain may ask, to
other men who insist only so
much be sent as will not slow up
or make impossible our own defense.
The debate here is whether on the
plea of aiding Britain-by methods
short of war" principally by sell
ing or giving supplies, with or with
out credit-whethe on that plea, one
man, the President, should be given
unlimited authority to dispose of as
much as he pleases of the material
resources of the United States and
its armament in ships, guns, planes
and ammunition, not merely to Brit
ain but to any nation anywhere.
Those who want to aid Britain
say they wish to do so to defend
America. By this most of them
mean that they want to keep the
ocean approaches to our country
open by. supporting the British navy
and the British bases in the Allan
tic and elsewhere. But the 'leaSe-
lend" bill intends something much
more than that. Taken with the
Presidents fireside chat and annual
message, his war aims are no longer
merely to defend America in this
sense.
They are no longer "short of war"
They are to sdefend America" by
insuring freedom of speech and wor-
ship and from want everywhere on
EARTH" and to secure all nations
from attack anywhere on earth"
Under the terms of the bill, all that
is necessary for him to do to be free
to send our military and naval
substance to any country whether it
is at war now or not, is to Find"
that to do so would help American
defense. That is power to declare
and fight economic war for anybody
anywhere.
Furthermore, some of the Ian
guage in this bill is so generalized
(for example the appropriation
clause) that it is not clear that it
does not deliver to the President
power to give away the financial re-
sources of the country as certainly
it grants him power to give away
all the ships of OUR whole navy.
-,
There is talk about guarding
against any such designs by limit
ing this about economic war die
tatorship and partial military and
naval dictatorship to two years.
Many of the emergency" powers
granted since '33 have been so linn
tied. All have been extended. Why?
Because the granting of such mas
sive powers with a time limit is also
a grant of power to force the extern
sion of that time limit. It has
proved so with us over and over
again during eight years of grants of
emergency powers with time limit.
The tendency of this administra-
ton has been always to ask for more
powers than are necessary even for
its avowed purposes. The tendency
has been, as now and as to the third
term, to assert a reluctance to ac-
cept such powers-then the tendency
has been to press them to the limit
of their grants and refuse to give
up any. On that history and in such
a crisis, if ever bill needed robust
debate, this is that bill. On our
march to dictatorship to avoIc
dictatorship" it is later than you
think"

MOTORISTS ARE
ASKED TO HELP
Motorists Are Asked to Help
National Defense by Safe,
Cautious Driving
COURTESY IN DRIVING

A national emergency has been
declared by the President of the
United States to bolster the pro-
ductive power for defense. Because
of the shortage of transportation
facilities, motorists will be required
to conserve wherever and when
ever possible. Probably the most
important way in which motorists
in Delaware can do their part and
still not sacrifice any of the ad-
vantages of the use of the motor
car is by driving safely and avoid
ing accidents. Many may ask,
what part does safe driving play
in national defense ?" When a mo-
torist drives safely he is operating
cautiously; and when he operates
cautiously he is bound to save
money for he will use less gasoline
and oil, conserve the brakes and
tires, and thus cut down mainten-
ance. Driving habits that are with
in control of the driver have much
to do with economy. Operating
costs may be cut by operating at
all times at moderate speeds, by re-
framing from riding the clutch or
brake, and racing the motor when
shifting gears and by switching off
the ignition when parked tempor-
arily. BY anticipating stops and
avoiding sudden braking, by ac-
celebrating gradually and avoiding
quick, jumpy starts, by rounding
curves and corners easily and
avoiding shrieking tires, by operat-
ing the car smoothly, and by pa
tience and cool headedness in traf-
fic and avoiding reckless haste and
unnecessary chances motorists
will not only save money and con-
serve on vital defense materials,
but will also prevent accidents. Un-
less a vehicle is in good mechan-
ical condition, it can scarcely be op-
Grated efficiently and it places an
additional strain on the already
overburdened driver. Both econ
omy and safety depend upon the
habits of the motorist. A motor
car is not tank or military We
hicle to be driven as though in
army maneuvers. 1t is relatively
fragile and will crumble when sub
jected to severe blow such as a
crash at 70 miles per hour. There
is no point in operating a vehicle in
a reckless, Indifferent, or inatten-
tive manner, forcing traffic to take
shelter. Life is not so short but
that there is always time for court
esy-and caution. The person who
operates at a reasonable rate of
speed with proper respect for his
fellow motorist, saves gasoline,
money, trouble, human life and aids
defense.

LITTLE PEOPLE CAN PUT BRAKE ON PRODIGAL SPENDING
Must Demand Slash in Nondefense
Expenditures to Avoid Initiation.
Disney Claims

NEW YORK - Representative
Wesley E. Disney, Democrat, Of
Oklahoma called upon Americas
millions of little people" to lick
the scourge of possible imitation by
slashing all non-defense expendi-
lures.
Defense is mandatory. It's ex.
penses must be met" he said, speak
ing at a dinner before the Tax
Foundation in New York. 'But
many non-defense items can wait"
Pointing out that as long as people
have tolerated extravaganza in gov
ernment it has constantly grown in
volume, Representative Disney as
serted that the responsibility for
action rests ultimately upon the
whole people of the nation.
Declaring that most people do
not yet realize the full share Of
their own burdens with respect to
future payments to their govern
ment, Representative Disney as
serted that it Is the little people
who must put real pressure on their
Congressman to make economies in
non-defense appropriations, which
is the only sane and moral course
for a people facing such critical
period as the United States faces
today.
He warned against being fooled
by mere titles and labels because
a curious phenomenon is arising in
which every bureau and depart
ment of the government, whose ex-
istence is threatened, has gotten
up some scheme to prove its WORTH
ness as a defense project.
"The magnitude of the defense
program staggers the imagination.
In the near future, we may expect
Q national debt of $50 billion and
maybe 800 billion which is in ad-
dition to an existing state and local
debt Of $50 billion. This represents

NEW ENGLAND
POULTRY TOUR
New Hampshire and Maine
Poultry Farms to Be Visit

MARYLAND TO BE HERE

Plans for the New England Poul-
try Tour are being completed by
the Delaware Poultry Improvement
Association and the University of
Delaware Agricultural Extension
Service, co-sponsors of the trip,
scheduled for August 5, 6 and z.
A specially-arranged journey to
New Hampshire by rail will take
Delaware poultrymen into the
heart of New England's poultry in
dustry where they will observe pro-
duction methods and see poultry
stock maintained on a score of
prominent farms. Start of the
three-day tour will be made from
Wilmington's Front Street station
at $50 a. M, August 5. Besides
the farm visits in New Hampshire,
tour stops will include poultry es-
Establishments in Maine. The return
rail trip will be made on August s.
The poultry associations tour COM
mittee reports that cost estimates
for the complete trip amount to
about S25. Reservations for the
tour will be received by A. E. Tom
have or H. L. Richardson at the
University of Delaware between
now and August 2. Richardson re-
ports-"Delaware buys large num-
bers of baby chicks and Matching
eggs from New England yearly for
its broiler industry. Our low-cost
tour will allow Delaware poultry
producers to see where the baby
chicks and eggs come from and
how they are produced" Del-Mar-

an average debt load of between
$4,000 and $4,000 for every single
family in the whole country" In
regard to this burden Mr.. Disney
said the old slogan, Soak the Rich,
has ceased to be realistic. For if
the government took every dime of
all individual net incomes in the
United States over $4,000, it would
yield less than enough money even
to pay current, normal annual ex.
penses.
Quoting Marshal Petain following
the French debacle, After our vic
tory in 1918 we became a comfort
able, pleasure seeking nation. We
asked for more than we were will
ing to give. We refused to accept
responsibility. Now we are in dis
tress,' Representative Disney called
upon the little people" of America,
who In their own lives are respon-
sible and prudent and who must
eventually bear all the ballooned
costs of their government, not to
follow in the prodigal, fatal steps
of the people Of France.

walk down to the mill pond. While
standing at the big gates they ven
tered one of their country friends
to take off his clothing and jump
in, proffering him a dollar for the
feat. They then tried to bluff him
with dollar and a half, but not
so; the challenge was accepted and
they went home minus the S1.50.
Though it was done under cover of
darkness, it was a public place for
such transactions.
William T. Chance, a prominent
merchant of Georgetown, died
there Friday, and his remains were
brought to Smyrna on the train
yesterday morning, and inferred in
Glenwood Cemetery. He had reach
ed his 62nd year. Mr.. Chance was
native of Maryland but had lived
in this state for a good many
years. His widow was daughter
of BENZ. Enos, who was an ener-
getic business man of Smyrna be-
fore his death, some forty years
ago, owned and died in the house
now owned by c. H. Register.
The following comments upon
Miss Jeffris who will appear here
next Friday evening, have been
quoted in the Pennsylvania press:
Her Interpretation was most ex-
cellent. She was a versatility
which is bound to carry her into
public favor" Her selections
were varied and difficult, but ex-
ecuted with faultless skill and ex-
actness." "The little lady is a fin
ished elecutionist." "She COM
manded the admiration and ap-
plause of the whole audience that a
Helen Potter or a Uella F. Brown
might have been proud Of"
The farm of E. Lower, near
Brenford, indicated that he is one
of the most progressive farmers, in
peaches and grapes as we'll as in
cereals. When the prematuring in
the peaches set in two or three
weeks ago, his orchards seemed
likely to be affected, but a gentle
man who examined his trees two or
three days ago, says that Mr.. Low
er has the best orchard that he has
seen. In over 5000 trees he did not
see over 100 trees in which pre-
maturing has set in. R. H. Oar
rah, in the alley is not complaining.
In an orchard of over 1900 trees
he does not find, he says, over a

NORFOLK, Va, April 25.-A
white-and-yellow pointer, ch. FL
stone Arrow of Cedar Grove, last
night was named the best of the 287
dogs entered at the fifth annual
Norfolk dog show. He was handled
by his owner, Mrs. Nelson Smith OF
Hilton Village, Va, and seemed to
be a general favorite with the ring
side.
In order to contend for best-in-
show honors, Arrow had first TO
defeat some of the top sporting
dogs now on the circuit, including
the English setter, ch. Marc of
Maridor, which was best in the show
at Charlottesville, and the Irish
setter, ch. Rosecroft Premier, which
also has a long best-in-show record.
Contenders from the other groups
were the outstanding greyhound,
ch. Giralda's Cornish Man, owned
by Mrs. M. Hartley Dodge; the
boxer, ch. Serenade of Mazelaine,
owned by Richard Kettles, jr.; the
fox terrier, Secret Passion; the POM
eranian, Pomwin's Red Rarebit, and
the well-known brown poodle, ch,
Blakeen Cyrano.
Second in the transporting group
was william McIlwain's chow, ch.
Lao Tang of Ching Kuo, and the
same owners Far Land Dimpler
was winners bitch. McIlwaine also
had the winners bitch in Afghans
with his Pocono Peri of Arken.
Marguerite Jones miniature schnau-
zer, Minquas Bimelech, was best Of
winners for two points, which should
bring him very close to the title.
