No Use Stamp,
No Gasoline
Claims Govt.
Suggest owner keep
record of serial number
on stamp as safeguard

Every motorist who plans to
drive his car after June 80 faces
probable necessity of buying a new
SIS federal automobile use tax
stamp by that date or else create his
own private. gas shortage. From in
formation released by Clark Squire,
collector of internal revenue, it ap-
pears that Uncle Sam has found a
way to make every car owner, with
out single exception, buy a stamp
+ Amy motorist who doesn't want to
purchase a stamp may as well jack
up his car for the duration because
he. won't get any gas. The office of
Price Administration has advised
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
possession Of a stamp will be neces-
sary to procure gasoline after the
proposed rationing has gone into eff
feet. E%
The new stamp was placed on
sale June 10 at all post offices and
the office of the collector of INTERN
al revenue in the district of Wash
ington and Alaska. It is serially
numbered and should be placed on
the windshield OF the car along side
tie state vehicle inspection sticker.
To keep the stamp affixed to the
windshield, it is suggested that the
vehicle owner dampen the windshild
rather than the adhesive side Of the
stamp. .
As a, precaution against loss or
theft, it is suggested the motorist
make a record of the serial number
on his stamp in. order that there
may be some means of identification
to enable him to purchase gasoline. :
.Only cash will purchase stamps at
the post office while collectors will
accept cash, post Office money orders
or certified checks.

the present congress has surrendered
- the executive branch of the gov
\ eminent and have paid more at
tention to perpetuating themselves
in office than they have to the bene-
fit and welfare of the country at
large"
Mr. Sherwood said that the gov
eminent had strong trend toward
national socialism and he was OPP
nosed to the adjustment of the
American form Of government in
favor of adoption of the European
plans which are now in effect.
He said that government would
either be Socialistic or capitalistic
and there was no middle ground. He
said that he was opposed to putting
pants on the Hottentots, or lowering
the American citizen to the status
Of the Chinese coolie. The group
now in congress, he declared was
now definitely trying to transform
our government to socialism in time
Of war, when every effort should be
rbent toward winning the war.
Sherwood said that this particular
Spart of the country was due to an
expansion during and following the
war such as its most optimistic citi-
zen has dared dream of. DUE to our
power resources, irrigation projects
and other advantages our industrial
Development would he beyond mea-
sure.
He pointed out that had the adj
mtnistration kept UP with the peo-
pie, particularly as to the program
as put out by the American Legion,
that this country would have had an
army navy and air force large
enough to have prevented the pres
ent world conflagration. He point
ed out that with adequate forces at
command, Mussolini would never
nave entered Ethiopia; the Japs
would never have dared to get into
Manchuria and Hitler would not
nave dared to devastated Poland,
oaovakia or the Russian area.

Turn In Your
Rubber By
Tues, June 30th
Reclaimed rubber can
keep America
rolling!

If the American public can salvage
enough rubber by June 30th, motor
lists may avert gasoline rationing and
|get recapped tires. Almost every at
tic, basement, barn and garage is an
untapped reservoir of idle rubber.
Today'S most urgent problem is get
ting rubber in to service station de-
pots. President Roosevelt has auth
orized every service station in the U.
S. to serve as a collection center in
this all important tWo-week emery
ency drive.
Nothing Too Small
Everything counts Fido's rubber
bone, the youngsters outgrown play
things, Dads old fishing boots,
grandma's 1eaky hot-Water bottle
and hundreds of other discarded or
unnecessary rubber articles are
needed to help win this battle of
rubber. It's everybody's job-start
today! Here's a suggested list of
things to look for-and take to any
service station.

THE NATIONAL INSURANCE
RESEARCH COUNCIL, 1927
SMITH TOWER, SEATTLE, has
performed many useful services
for persons who have lapsed or
lost life insurance in their families.
The service consists of investiga-

them. Whether or not the insured
person Is living or has passed on
makes n difference in their eff
fort. In case there are no values
found to exist in the policies all

service.
Insurance has been obtained by
the interested persons on insured
individuals long disappeared and
in policies long lost.
Over a period of several years
several thousand lapsed policy
holders have been benefited by

DURHAM, N. H., June % =
Speakers at the general council of
Congregational Christian Churches
today asserted that the citizen and
the church must think in terms of
a global society so that "democra-
cy as world revolution" may sue
coed.
To survive, the gospel, inwardly
unchanging, must change out
wardly "at the same rate an din
precisely the same direction that
civilization changes" DR.. Dwight
j. Bradley, of New York, executive
director of the Council of Social
Action, said in a prepared address,
DR.. Fred Field Goodsell of Bos-

I'VE are still in the early stages
Of democracy as world revolution
The present planetary conflict has
FASTENED its progress, but it has
been coming on apace for over $50
years. No one can see its end -.
The world revolution overlaps all
geographic boundaries. Defeat for
our arms Is unthinkable."

A Model Labor Union

A detailed report by President
David Dubinsky of the Interna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers
Union, covering the past ten years
was made public on June Is, and
we commend this report as mo-
del for other unions.
Mr.. Dubinsky not only tells how
many members his organization
has, but he also tells how much
money they have. He said the un-
ion now has $4,000 members
against 10000 ten years ago. and
a treasury of $4,000, 900, compared
with a debt of $4,000, 900 in 1882.
Mr.. Dubinsky reported an average
increase of 80 percent in employees
earnings in the decade, with a de-
crease in hours from forty-eight
to forty.
The wise leadership of the IL.
GU, has been reflected in the
practical. elimination of general
strikes, with the substitution of
negotiation, arbitration and media
ton.
And best of all, the I.L.G.U., has
taken the lead in welcoming Ne
groes into its membership. Frank
Crosswaith has for 81 number of
years been an international organ
izer for this union, which has no
segregated setup in any of it's To-
calls.

Here's More About
Candhi

CONTINUED from Page One)
National Bank of Egypt since
1881. Gandhi is quoted in a special
dispatch to the New York Times
on April 9th, as saying, "Now we
have the promise of a reverend
ing stream of soldiers from Ameri-
ca and possibly from China. I
must confess, I do not look upon
this with equanimity.
It amounts in the end, to Anne
rican influence, if not American
rule, added to the British"
What seemed hardest for Anne
ricans to understand, even those
sympathetic to midas desire for
freedom, was the insistence of
Nehru and others that a native of
India must be made Defense Min
lister, rather than leaving English
in command so far as the conduct
of the war is concerned.
But the Indian leaders, in effect,
replied: Winning the war and
support of India for that effort is
said to be the first and chief job;
everything depends on that. Well,
we are not quite so certain about
that as you are.
"Just what would a British
American victory mean for India ?
Churchill says the Atlantic
Charter does not apply to India;
unless therefore, you issue Paci-
fic Charter you are asking us to
buy a. pig in a poke. But suppose
we grant that winning the war Is
the thing that counts above all,
then how can you say you are
offering us independence when you
insist that you have got to run the
one job that counts?
We can imagine Indian leaders
in those conferences with Cripps
reminding him that if Indians were
now unarmed and hence UMPIRE
pared to meet attack it was be-
cause the British had kept them
unarmed in order to keep them in
subsection. They would point to
the "scorched earth" policy that
is characteristic of this war and
what it would mean for the hun
dreds of millions of Indians, and
they must have asked why the de-
cision as to whether that calamity
was to be brought on their people
should be left to British gener-
al? They may even have wonder
ed after Singapore - why they
should trust British competence to
defend Asiatic lands? An Indian
friend of mine adds, Indians think
that if General MarArthur can
work in cooperation with Mr.. Que
ION, President of the Philippines,
and if General Stillwell can work
under Chang Kai-shek, it is rea-
sonable to think that a British or
American general might act I'M
der an Indian Minister of Defense
like Nehru."
