Avoiding Imitation

People of the United States are beginning to wonder
whether expenditures necesstated by the defense pro-
us to another pinnacle from which will inevitably
descend into another depression 1t may be said at
the beginning that the first requisite for another de-
preston is period of initiation. Consequently respon-
sbble economic experts in and out of the Government
agreed that steps should be taken to prevent ad
vancing prices which will eliminate in wild orgy of
buying.
With the increased tempo of defense spending, the
people of the United States will have more money to
spend 1t is also certain that industrial plants are
turned from normal production into the production of
defense materials, the shortage of goods may become
pronounced Given more money and fewer goods it is
certain that prices will go up prospective buyers bid
against each other for decreasing supplies. This would
be the case in any free economy Consequently, the
Government is almost compelled to take steps to limit
the buying power of the public
AS we understand it, and admit that do not
know too much about it, this be done in several
ways. One is to set price upon goods and commodi-
ties. Another way is to provide heavy taxation in
order to drain off purchasing power This end
is also accomplished by persuading the people to
invest in Government bonds for defense financing.
The British Government recently attempted to
nugurate system of control. 1t provided heavy
income taxes, which included plan for compulsory
saving Thus, a who paid $188 year in taxes
given a credit of $48, which would become
available to him at the end of the war. This plan has
purchasing power during the emergency and an auto
matte provision for savings account to cushion post
decreases in the income of individuals. 1t may be
copied in this country
We hope the people of the United States will be
smart enough to encourage the Government to take
whatever steps are necessary to prevent repetition OF
the imitation orgy which developed in the United States
during the last war; The remedy may to be harsh
but it will be easy if it enables the nation to avoid
a disastrous depression.

Fighting Night Bombers

From figures given out by the Air Ministry in
London the Raj seems TO be making progress in its
effort to overcome night-bombing. On the night of
May Z, according to an Air Ministry communique,
record set when "a enemy aircraft destroyed
twenty by fighter planes, three by anaircraft gfre
and one by balloon barrage. This record has already
been surpassed by subsequent successes.
Weather conditions, according to the British, were
very favorable for fighter operations, but the Air Min
istry says that the main for satisfaction lies in
the gradual and consistent increase in casualties in
fcted the enemy since the early days of the year.
Everybody remembers the effort of German aircraft to
establish mastery the British Isles in the early
fall of 1910. The Royal Air Force broke up the Ger
man attacks shooting down almost 200 German planes
in one day. Since then, the Germans have taken to
night raidng, which is destructive, but which the
British hope to conquer in time.
Figures released by the Air Ministry show that
there has been increasing number of German planes
destroyed at night In January, it fifteen in Feb
ruary, fifteen in March, A. in April 80 and in the first
week of May, "a
The highest figure for any night in January was
five, on January 10, three in February the 18th,
thirteen in March the thirteenth thirteen April

WASHINGTON.-You hear more
and more talk in Washington these
days about total defense with the
accent on the total.
Another way to say it would be
"all-out" since that Is the popular
phrase Of the day borrowed from
the English who usually borrow their
slang from US. A better way to
say what officials are now calling for

racy and totalitarianism 1t will be

Already the ramifcations of the
defense effort are reaching into all
corners Of national activity. While
our factories are filing the air with
bombers and fighters for England,
the government is planning little
peaceful air-offensive of our own
against Germany.
When you feel around on the dial of
your radio set some day you may
suddenly pick up voice in German
broadcasting from Washington.
Do not worry. That will not mean
that the fifth columnists have ar
rived on the Potomac. The voice
will be coming forth not in spite of,
but because of, the department of
justice. The words may be as per-
suasive as those Of Propaganda
Goebbels or as pleasing as those of
the Poet Goethe but they will be
boosting democracy.
If you can understand what the
broadcaster is saying, you can learn
some good things about your coun-
try and its customs that you may
have forgotten even If the message
is not meant for you. 1t is meant.
as a matter of fact. for the German
speaking foreign-born of this coun-

planned for two purposes.
The first is to remind these more
recent arrivals on our shores who
may have been listening to the
short wave broadcasts from Berlin
that there are lot of good points
about the country Of their adoption
which they may have overlooked.
The second is to try to unite the
newcomers and their offspring in an
effort to use their influence, If they
have any. to pass on some Of these
points to the people in the old coun-
try with whom they may still be in
touch, directly or indirectly.

OF course, news reports from the
United States are being beamed at
Germany and France and other
European countries. as well as South
America right now. We know how
difficult 1t IL for the Germans and
people in the occupied countries to
listen to foreign broadcasts. It may
mean a life sentence. But we have

for the news. They know that the
newspapers they get are simply rub

They know our news is authentic,
unbiased, accurate.
But some people think that we
ought to go much further in this
battle of the ether than merely
broadcasting news. They think
that. in addition to the newscasts,
there should be interesting feature
broadcasts which would contain
material planned to counterfeit the
propaganda which the Germans are
sending out to their own people and
to others abroad.
There are those, of course, out
side the government who are open

counter attack on the air waves, but
that we must take over some Of the

busy now-that we should match

Germans Prepare
To Invade England

viii the Nazis try to invade the
British Isles?
Most experts say, yes.
The question Is whenf
Recently some information has
come to my ears which touches on
this point. 1t comes from two
sources which are sound and reli.
able. One Is a story which was told
to me by a French newspaper wom-
an who is Hitler's Private Enemy
Number One. She Is Madame Gene
We've Tabouis. and she escaped
France ahead Of the hungry Gestapo
and is here in the United States.
She told me that the Germans had
held practice maneuver in France
which consisted Of pouring oil on a
certain river. They then ignited
the oil and hundreds of German SOL
diers, dressed in specially prepared
fireproof clothing jumped in. The
next day the river was full Of
corpses and the hospitals full of
frlghcully burned soldiers.
The experiment did not work.
Spreading burning oil at invasion
points is said to be one Of the meth
DDS Of defense the British are plan
ming against invasion.
Now the second story comes from
a man whom / cannot name but
who has recently been in Germany.
He says that the Germans have been
working a long time on perfecting
amphibian tanks-tanks which will
actually float. He believes that
there will be no invasion until these
tanks are ready.
He also says that psychological
moment will be chosen. One when
British morale is at low point.
For instance, If both the Suez and
Gibraltar were captured the Ger
mans might feel that this was the
moment.

Soviet Diplomats
Hold an "At Home"

Many a Washington official who
speaks Of Russia's dictator with a
curl Of the lip has a secret admira-
ton for the wiley Comrade Stain.
Some call him the ''Volga Goat
man"-because he gets so many
diplomatic goats.
Recently it was the policy Of the
state department following the Brit
ish lead) to make up to the car Of
the Soviets. Russia wanted ma
chimes and tools. We wanted Russia
to growl at the Japanese. And 50
the neutrality-suspicious. Summer
Welles, our undersecretary Of state,
was forced to let his chin down at
least one hitch and converse pleas
antly with the anything but
aristocratic Tovarisch Oumanslzi,
charge d'affaires of the Soviets.
Then came the sudden announce
ment Of the Russo-Japanese neu-
trality pact. 1t broke upon the dig
nified diplomatic world with all the
indignity Of an average egg explod-
ing on an immaculate shirt front.
About that time of the month
there occurred an 'at-home" at one
of the Sixteenth streets most promi-
nent residences Ito quote the official
guide book. This mansion, built
originally by the widow of the Pull
man palace car millions and later
palace Of the perfumed and be-
monocled emissaries of the Roman
offs, is now the Soviet embassy.
The lat home" was a great sue
cess. The great and the near-great
from belligerent and peaceful ma
tons were there. In fact, it was
quite job keeping the Canadian
diplomats out of one salon while
swastika and hammer and sickle
tete-a-teted over the tall tea-glasses.
Earlier that day the state depart
ment had minimized to inquiring re-
porters the importance of the Russo
Japanese pact. But diplomats. as
you know, use words to conceal
their thoughts. Their actions speak
much louder than their official state
ments. At the Soviet "at home"
state department officials were ex-
ceedingly conspicuous by their abb
sence.
