Roosevelt Sees
i. 5. Display Of
Military Might
l25,000 Watch
Parade in Honor
OF Memorial Duy
page of Pictures, A-5J
By CARTER BROOKE JONES.

by IAN Ell bRUOhE JONES.
The commander in chief re-
viewed a segment of Americas
fighting forces yesterday, while a
throng that would have popu-
lated a sizeable city filled the
line of march, thrilled by the
Capitals first military parade
since the war began.
President Roosevelt stood in the
reviewing stand on Constitution
avenue, between Fifteenth and Sew
enteenth streets NV, and watched
with solemn pride as fighter units
passed-bronzed men afoot, their
bayonets cleaning in the hot sun;
rumbling artillery trucks, thunder
ing tanks, Gathering cavalry, bands
to stir the heart, bluejackets simu-
lating infantrymen, marines, Coast
Guardsmen-a small panorama of
the whole Army and Navy.
In the stands and along the curbs
from New Jersey avenue and B
street S E. to Seventeenth and Con-
stitution, the crowd looked and
cheered-the war suddenly brought
closer to them. Here were the COM
bat troops. thousands of them,
trained, armed and ready-troops
like other units fighting their coun-
try's battle for freedom across the
world. These men, too, might be
off tomorrow for some remote front.
Crowd Of 125,000.
The crowd was estimated at l25,-
900 by Maj. Edward J. Kelly, super
intendent of Metropolitan Police. 1t
took As minutes for the array of
might to pass any one point on the
route. 1t was an all-military pro-
cession. There were no civilians
in it.
The President arrived in the re-
viewing stand at approximately AIS
pm. a few minutes before the first
troops came in sight. On his right
stood Gen. George c. Marshall,
Army chief of staff; on his left
Admiral Ernest J. King, COM
mander in chief of the feet. Nearby
stood Gen. Sir John Dill, ranking
British officer in the United States.
The stand was filled with ambassa-
doris. ministers, military and naval
attaches of the United Nations and
Latin American countries, high off,
GERS of our Army and Navy, Gov
ernment officials and members OF
Congress.
The, crowd waited as the humid
Memorial Day waned. Clouds
brooded over the scene, but there
was no rain. Shortly before the
parade approached the reviewing
stand, three youths on bicycles,
stripped to the waist, drove past and
we're greeted with cheers and laugh
ter.
Martial Music Heard.
The colors were placed IN front
of the President. Up Constitution
avenue martial music could be
heard.
The parade was preceded by a car
bearing Commissioner Young, Maj.
Kelly and Inspector Harvey G. CAL
lahan, assistant superintendent of
police Behind them was an escort
of motorcycle policemen.
Next came Brig. Gen. John T.
Lewis, commanding general of the
Military District of Washington,
grand marshal of the procession.
Two Union veterans of the Civil
Wharf.-The only two in this section
able to be about-were expected to
ride in the parade, but neither felt
we'll enough to make it. They are

The United States must help
police the world after this war
to make sure that those Sacriflc-
ing their lives in the battle for
freedom shall not have died in
vain," Undersecretary of State
Welles declared yesterday in a
Memorial Day address at Arling-
ton National Cemetery Amphi-
theater. He spoke at exercises
sponsored by the Grand Army of
the Republic Memorial Day
Corporation.
Around the theme of keeping
faith" with those honored on
Memorial Day-which he said we
failed to do after the last war when
We shirked our share of RESPONSE
bility for maintaining world order
Mr.. Welles wove a highly significant
outline of American peace objec-
tives, with emphasis on assuring
"the liberation of all peoples"
He said he believed the voice Of
those who are doing the fighting"
now will demand after I'VE win the
victory" that this country CO.
operate with the other United Ma
tions to:
l. Deal out justice "inexorably and
swiftly to those individuals, groups
or peoples" that can truly be held
accountable for the stupendDus
catastrophe into which they have
plunged the human race"
Must Crush Evil Men"
2. Immediately disarm all nations
which may threaten aggression out
side of their frontiers"
3. Maintain an international
police power TO insure freedom
from fear to peace loving peoples
until a permanent system of general
security is established.
4. Form world organization Of
the future" to determine the final
terms of just and dyable peace.
S. Abolish discrimination between
peoples because of their race, creed
or color" assuring the sovereign
equality" of all peoples and guar
anteeing the principles of the Allan
tic Charter to the whole world.
Declaring that there can be no
compromise" and mo respite" until
victory is won. Mr.. Welles said I'VE
must utterly and finally crush the
evil men, and the iniquitous sys-
TENS which they have devised, that
are today menacing our existence"
Reaping Fruit of Folly.
He branded as enemies Of the
American people" any who indulge
themselves in false optimism" or
who are reluctant to give their all
in this struggle for the survival on
the earth of what is fine and de-
cent"
Most of his address was devoted.
however, TO emphasizing that the
American people must not fan again
TO play their full part in determin-
ing the kind of postwar world in
which they will live. I'VE are now
reaping the bitter fruit of our own
folly and of our own lack of vision"
in returning to the provincial poll
cies" of isolationism after the last
war, he asserted.
When this war ends, he said, the
United States alone will have the
strength and the resources to lead
the way toward a world order in
which there can be freedom from
want" He promised respect of the
right Of ali peoples to determine
their own type of internal economic
organization, and then turned to a
brief discussion of domestic prob
lens that might be interpreted as
antagonistic to some phases Of the
New Deal.

Agency Report Shows
War Effort Results
. In A-Hour Service in
Some Buildings

The Welfare and Recreation ASso-
citation of Public Buildings and
Grounds is serving four times as
many meals day to Government
workers as it did a few years ago
Arthur J. Williams, president, said
yesterday in his annual report tc
the board of trustees.
He attributed the increase to the
rapid expansion Of Federal depart
ments and agencies for the war
effort. Mr.. Williams added that in
many buildings 24-hour food service
is maintained.
During the trustees annual meet
ing, Mr.. Williams, an employe of the
| Maritime Commission, was re-
elected president of the association.
G. A. Peters Of the Public Buildings
Administration and w. E. Rey-
nolds of the Federal Works Agency
were reelected to the board for
three-year terms.
Reserve Funds Exhausted.
Mr.. Williams reported that be-
cause of the service expansion the
| associations reserve fund has been
exhausted "and we shall have to
borrow money with which to pay
for equipment to be installed in
new Government buildings now un-
der construction"
He added that because of higher
wage rates and rising food costs
the association is experiencing diff
Guilty in adding to its reserves, since
the net income per meal after pay
ing all expenses is only fraction
Of a cent at present prices"
He expressed regret that it has
not been possible to expand rec
reational facilities here in proper
ton to the population increase. He
voiced support of pending legislation
to establish a board to coordinate
and expand recreational work in the
District.
Fewer Tennis Courts Seen.
In the meantime, however, there
is a chance that the number
of tennis courts available to the
public will be reduced, at least
temporarily, because of the defense
program, and the last u of 36 new
tennis courts planned for East Po-
tomac Park probably will not be
completed this year, he said.
"The association stands ready to
assist in every possible way in
meeting the urgent need for more
recreation in the District and will
see to it that all available facilities
can be used to the maximum dur
ing the coming year." he declared.
Other officers elected were G. L.
Gable, chief Of the park operations
division, National Park Service,
vice president; Samuel Goodacre,
Department of Agriculture, treas
urer, and Capt. F. w. Hoover,
secretary and general manager.

Of the guests who received the

Dubious of Results.
This year, however, some of Mrs.
Roosevelt's guests expressed doubt
as to DR.. Davis thesis that Axis
prisoners would play a role in in
augurating a better understanding
between nations when peace is de-
clared. They could not quite grasp
the role Nazi soldiers would be able
to play in explaining American
democracy to victorious Germany.
They further opined that a defeat
ed Germany would have plenty of
opportunity to profit by American
kindheartedneSs after she is de-
feated.
There were contributions, of
course. but the general feeling was
that the time had come to build
bombers, not high roads to heaven.

Dr.. Davis explained the inclusion
of Axis men in his plan on the
grouYid that they would eventually
return to Germany and other enemy
countries and extol the merits of
American democracy.
At last years tea in honor of DR..
Davis it was brought out that the
10000 Germans. interned in Canada
were proflting by American dona-
tions.
Mrs. Roosevelt, who introduced
DR.. Davis and Tracy Strong, asked
If the generosity of Americans
toward German prisoners had made
them lose the bitterness they had
had at the start of the war.

NORFOLK, Va, Feb. 27.-Rich-
mond will become the center Of

Firm Foundation

Service in the armed forces, in
cidentally, seems TO be more sue
cessful in giving glove fighters a
firm physical foundation on which
TO base later training in the gym,
than in bringing him 10 that fine
point that is required for ring
competition.
Army training and ring training
are good, each in its own way, but
never the twain should meet. This
has been proved more than once
since the war started when boxers
in the service met boys who were
still in civies. In such cases the
boy in multi usually wins. For
there are types of physical fitness,
just as there are degrees of il.
A tennis player, for instance,
might find himself thoroughly
winded after a few games if he
undertook the training routine of
an oarSman. On the other hand a
boxer would probably wilt quickly

next decade is in providing an
inexhaustible supply of young men
with toughened bodies and a
fighters point of view. The last
World War brought in its wake
huge crop of fine boxers.
Until the second World War
came along. the rising generation
was getting soft and non-bellig-
erent. 1t produced scant material
for boxing. Those who did come
TO the fore were usually found to
be youths who had to fight their
way -up against the most adverse
conditions and whose occupation
contributed to their muscular
development. For instance, Louis
himself was the product of pow
erty and "a hard job in Detroit
motor factory.
The training millions OF boys
are getting in the army and navy
is making them more aggressive
and that's the first quality a good
boxer should have. The treat
en- rougt" code, now being In
culcated in young men who a year
ago were following the Tive and
let live" creed, will produce its
share of good boxers, just as
surely as so many tons of pitch
blende yield their tiny quota of
radium.
