creasing said acreage; secondly,
that the site is not the most desir-
able because of the proximity of
the children of Delaware Colony
who might enjoy the products of
the various experiments and thus
render valueless the experiment or
research work; thirdly, that this
bill, as drawn, is not a measure of
economy because it would require
a great part of the appropriation
for the erection of all necessary
buildings and possibly a much
larger tract moIe suitably located
with at least some buildings could
be purchased for a reasonable
amount.
Therefore, Be it Resolved, That
we as a group are in favor of an
amendment to substitute Senate
Bill No. 172 which will correct OBJ
jectives as outlined"

"As America enters dynamically
upon the world scene, we need
most OF all to seek and to bring
forth a vision of America as a
world power which is authenticity
and which can inspire us
to live and work and fight with
ligor and enthusiasm. Henry r.

least two years must pass before
it will be possible for our factories
to produce that value Of goods for
England-some think the war will
be over before the appropriation is
exhausted. The President appar-
emily preferred. to ask for a tre-
mendous appropriation at once. ra-
ther than to request smaller sums
at intervals over a period of time,
in order to show the dictators that
we really mean business.
The tide is moving swiftly now.
Watch for crackdowns ON labor if
it gets out of hand. Pressure of the
strongest kind will probably be ap-
piled to organizations or industries
which are still thinking in terms of
business as usual, and are not
troubling themselves to give all
out effort. Even the Administra-
tons strongest critics believe that
it really means that sacrifices, f.
nancial and otherwise. must be
shared by all.
The President made a significant
statement when he said, at press
conference, that the lend-lease bill
does not restrict aid to any partic-
ular group of countries, but can be
extended to cover other nations if
the need arises.
Obvious tactic in this was to as
sure the small Balkan powers that |
America would help them too If
they resisted Nazi invasion. Eng |
land is moving heaven and earth in |
an effort to improve her position
in Europe, and to create a strong |
front against Hitler.
Ii is highly questionable, how
ever, if the frightened Balkan gov
erDments can be swayed now. Hit
ler's immense legions are omin-
ously close, and the U. S. is far
away. Britain has little to spare
in the way of aircraft. mechanized
and fighting ships. Best
opinion holds that most of
the small countries will accept

Mystery Heightened
In Ransacking Of
Fish's Office Files
Key Believed Used in
Entry; Only Three
Are in Washington

A mystery of ransacked files In
the office of Representative Hamil-
ton Fish was heightened today by
information that only three keys to
the office are in Washington-and
declarations that none of these keys
could have been misused.
Walter l.. Reynolds, first secretary
to Mr.. Fish, reported that he found
the Office of the isolationist leader
shut but unlocked when he arrived
at 9:l0 am. Wednesday. The lock
had not been chiseled or picked. ne
