The navy has mobilized about
5000 marines-the worlds best
trained soldiers-at our naval
base at Guantanamo. They have
been supplied with the finest
artillery and armored cars and
machine guns which the L. S.
can produce. They are waiting
for the moment when circum-
stances require them to make n
move on Martinique or some
other Caribbean possession.
When that time comes, this force
of 5000 men will try to prove
that Blitzkrieger Hitler, in his
ferocious attack on Holland. Bel
GUM and France, was only a
piker.
Here are the military and
headline-making possibilities IN

Last October-in the midst of

PULSE OF

Editor, The Times: MANY in
various lines of business were
shocked, d u m bfounded or
amused when they read in the

gram of the mayor for regula-

concerned. And another question

than any other part of the
English speaking world.
Before his honor saddles an

The wholesale man should pay

country rejected this plan as
they wanted turn over tax.

shipping services out of Atlantic

main recommendations m 2
may be summarized as follows:
/. Strengthening the position
Of the independent public ac-
countant through the assump-
ton by boards of directors, or
by special committee there
of, of direct responsibility for
either the appointment of the
auditors or for their selection
and recommendation to stock
holders for approval. The re-
suits of the auditors examina-
ton should be available to
stockholders and they should be
afforded the opportunity to ap-
pear at any stockholders meet
ing.
2. Increasing the responsibility
and facilities of the controller
or internal auditor through the
board of directors defining his
responsibilities and taking an
active interest in his selection.
He should sign published finan-
cial statements and report peri
odically to the board Of direc-
tors.
3 Adoption Of natural bust
ness year in lieu of calendar
year.
4. Appointment of the indie
pendent public accountant early
in the fiscal year.
These recommendations should
be no less binding upon opera
tons which are not listed on the
New York stock exchange. The
investing public loses more
money IN corporations which are
not listed on the large ex-
changes. than il does in those
50 listed. In fact it would ap-
pear TO me TO be good legisla-
ton for the states to pass a pub
lie auditing requirement law.

ency; but again its protection is

Legislative Pay Makes
The Headlines
Labor Union Deal Starts
Interesting Discussion
Washington Salary Scale
Fifty Years Old
A announcement that labor
y unions are going to make
contributions toward the living
expenses Of two members Of the
Oregon legislature while they
are in Salem has started an in
teresting discussion IN that.
state. Ii brings into the open
a situation similar TO one in
Washington and raises the ques-
ton Of the responsibility of the
people when legislators are COM
PEELED TO accept assistance to
exc out the pittance which the
state allows those who make the
laws and create public policies.
The Capital Journal. Salem.
doesn't think much Of the pro-
posal but adds this interesting
comment:
"If any special privilege
seeking groups are to he per-
mitted. without public protest.
to maintain" their own special
representatives in the legislae
ture. why not all of them Why
should there he such howl go
up when a senator or represen-
tatiye falls victim to the sus-
picion that he has accepted con-
tributions toward his expenses
from such groups of interested
taxpayers as the utilities, the
bankers. insurance companies or
even the liquor manufacturers
and distributors ."
AS The Oregonian sees it.
there is a very wide difference
between labors contribution and
a member of the legislature re-
ceiving a gratuity from a lobby
list or representative of interests
seeking special privileges.
Continuing, The Oregonian
says:
I'VE can think of one distinc-
ton. And that is that when
labor supports union member
as candidate for the legislature
1t does not do it on the sly. The
voters elect labor candidates
with the understanding that
they will unswervingly support
labor's views on all matters that
come before the legislature as
sembly. Whether other members
