MERRY-GO-ROUND

The Gridiron Club first asked Her bert Hoover to deliver the customary opposition speech to Roosevelt. For reasons known to himself, he de- clined. Later the Gridironers select ed young Senator Lodge of Massa- chusetts. A Republican, he closed with great tribute to Roosevelt. At the Army Day parade, it so happened that a tremendous con- glomeration of horses was stationed outside the office window of Con- gressman Ross Collins of Mississippi, the man who pioneered for mechari;- zation of the army.

Why Not Go to Alaska?
Seattle TimeS)

(Seatte TImeS)
 Governor Gruening of Alaska has what seems to be good idea He is very much interested in the proposed highway from the states" through Canada and on into Alaska It is a natural interest shared by all Alaskans since the highway is intend ed primarily to the Territory and expedite development It is an interest lately intensified oy the aspect of the highway as military necessity
 Governor Gruening suggests that it may be we'll for the American and Canadian Alaska Highway Commission to go to Alaska and have a look The Commission has held meetings in Washington D. C., Ottawa and Victoria. Some of the Commissioners have conferred in Seattle
 meeting in Alaska should afford opportunity for more first-hand information than is likely to be gathered at the distances. The Governor also suggests Commission flight over the tentative route. That, too would be helpful. Hearing no ob- jection, let us hope it will be so ordered

We wonder if all citizens of this great land were as thrilled we were in looking through the little booklet which to from the Treasury De- partment this week to offer United States savings bonds
 The booklet, titled "The Land of the Free" re- minds of something all of us forget too often. It reminds of the wonderful patriotic traditions of nation and calls us, if we wish, to help our Government finance its unparalleled defense effort. On the cover a battleshp steams proudly past the Statue of Liberty. On the back three Navy torpedo bombing planes fly vigil out from the coast of the fairest land on earth The message of the booklet of is that have nation worth defending that the defense is expensive and that the Treasury would like those of us who can afford it to buy savings bonds to help underwrite the cost Inside colored pictures Illustrating verses of The Star Spangled Banner" and showing the Jefferson Memorial at Washington and the Eternal Light Peace Memorial at Gettysburg
 The savings bonds only of four types of Treasury obligations included in the plan for financ ing national defense The bonds offered on a discount basis to yield slightly better than two and one-half percent They registered in the name of the purchaser and non-negotiable. The obvious purpose of this feature is to discourage the sale and cashing in of the defense obligations and thus to avoid the market disturbance certain to follow a large offering of Treasury obligations substan- tialy higher basis than is afforded by most of the debt now outstanding The whole purpose of the offering would be defeated if purchasers Iiqui- dated other Government bond investments in order to take the defense issues Another objective of the offerings would be defeated if investors encouraged to borrow at the banks to buy as they did such large scale in the last year of the World War.
 Time only will tell how accurately the Treasurys experts have appraised money market and invest conditions It significant that Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau refuses even to guess how many of the various type defense bonds may be sold and how much revenue they will pro- duce.
 The issues should be helpful in several directions the amount of money they produce entirely aside. They will afford millions who have wanted to do

sTIMsON-APOSTLE OF PEACE

In this connection, it is interest ing to note that The Washington Merry -Go-Round of. June 29, l941, explained Stinson's appointment to the Roosevelt Cabinet as follows:
 "The reason Roosevelt rose above personalities to bring a critic into his Cabinet was that Stimson repre- sents those who were trying to build a new system of peace out of the ashes of the World War. ..
 "Stimson believes there is some thing basically good in peoples-all peoples-if it only had chance to develop. And as Secretary of State in the Hoover Cabinet he struggled to give that development a chance.
 He built toward a Good Neigh bor' policy. It was far from perfect, but it was a start. And the destruc- ton of this start probably is the most serious blow Hitler has struck at civilization. Roosevelt feels this keenly, so does Stimson. =.
 He is an old man now, and as Secretary of War, this will be his last try. It may be the last try also for the United States. Stimson be- longs to an age which struggled toward the goal of loving thy neigh bor as thyself-an age which will be dead unless, like Stimson and Roose- welt, we are willing to sacrifice for if t'

NAZI BOUNCER

U s. Maritime Commissioner Jack Dempsey dealt with many cases of un- n-Americanism while member of the Dies Committee, but none more brazen than a recent incident in a Washington theatre.
 Dempsey and his wife were view ing a newsreel of Nazi troops on the march when a youth in the next seat began applauding. Dempsey was startled but let it pass. How ever, when a shot of American marines was flashed on the screen and the youth hissed, Dempsey flew into action.
 You get out of here" he ordered the hisser, who, after a nasty glance at the heavy-set ex-Congressmar from New Mexico, complied on the double-quick.

Accidents and Defense
Cincinnati Enuuirer)


 The extent to which production, and consequent ly the defense effort is being hampered by indus trial accidents is revealed in figures just released by the National Safety Council. These figures show that 26,8O0,000 man-days lost in 194O due to disabling industrial injuries of temporary nature alone.
 The nation is deeply concerned industrial time loss due to strikes, and rightfully so As an indication of basic problem in both production and morale the defense industry strike situation has merited all the attention it has received. But tenn porary accidents last year caused time loss four times as great as the time loss due to strikes.
 And this takes no account of industrial accident fatalities and of permanent disabilities which the National Safety Council estimates caused an addi- tional loss of man power than 20 times the extent of the strike loss. All accidents-temporary permanent, and those which caused death-were re- sponsble in 1940 for the staggering total of 169- 300,000 lost days.
 For the a-out effort which success of the de- fense program requires we need maximum produc- tive man power from every citizen. This means that we cannot permit the energies of one man or woman to be lost through preventable accident
 It Is necessary to put new vigor into accident prevention programs, and to do this without delay Otherwise expanding production may be expected tc take an ever increasing toll in life and usefulness

ZAPP IN HAVANA

 It was at this barley that the principle of Western Hemisphere de- fense was established zapp, recently indicted with his assistant on charges of being unregistered Nazi agents wrote letter on August 10, 1940, after he returned from Cuba. AS translated by the Dies Commit tee, it follows in part:

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
FRIDAY, APRIL IS

Benefic aspects rule the first part of this day and should stimu- late business. The morning is for tunate for merchandising and there is a promising sign for commerce.
 Heart and Home. Women may be restless and discontented under this configuration which will en- courage realization that the old order is passing away, bringing new conditions that require sacrifices and readjustments. Fashions will be responsible for large returns in certain lines of business that bene- fit the nation. AS war needs ab- sorb many products formerly thought necessary to a woman's wardrobe, cotton will be substi- tuted for silk. calico for chiffon.
 Business Affairs: As the spring time gives promise of good crops, great quantities of food will con- tinue to be sent abroad for starv- ing war victims. The stars seem to presage abundant harvests to which women will contribute their labor. Prosperity will present in- creased opportunities for North Am ericans to aid the Red Cross and other war relief agencies. Trade and commerce will find new chan nels and new methods in coming months. Synthetic fabrics are to gain acceptance and will bring profits to manufacturers, while cotton substitutes for silk will gain popularity.
 National Issues Defense popula- tion changes in manufacturing centers will present problems to public school authorities in | many districts. Teachers will be in de- mand in many small towns. Dis cussion of the contents of certain textbooks will be led by persons in terested in the proper presentation of United States history. 5Sensa- tional charges are foretold regard ing the radical views of many col lege professors.
 International Affairs: Astrologers read evil portents for Japan which may become the cat's-paw for the Axis in a plan to harass the Unit ed States, so that aid to Britain is hampered. Conflicting ideas are indicated in Japan, where economic conditions will affect the civilian attitude toward expansion of war activities. There is a sign that bodes ill this spring for relations between Tokyo and Washington.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augllry of financial gains and general good fortune. Love af- fairs will flourish among the young.
 Children born on this day prob. ably will be highly gifted and en- dowed with fine characteristics They may be lovers of beauty anc successful in any one of the ar. tistic careers.
