Straight From
Washington
BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio

Washington Queen Wilhelmina of
the Netherlands addressed Il joint ses-
sion of Congress. She completed trio
of monarchs who had to flee; when
Hitler's legions overran their countries
King Peter of Yugoslavia and George
of Greece preceded her. OF the three,
young King Peter. only eighteen, was
the most pathetic figure If he ever
regns, his reign WILL no doubt, be
short. Thrones have been crumbling,
crowns have been tumbling, and dynas-
ties have been fleeing for their lives.
King George of Greece looked like Il
king: King Peter like the average boy
just growing into Il tall slim young
man: Queen Wilhelmina like Il hard
working housewife in comfortable cir
cumstances. One would pass her in
Main Street without giving her a
second glance.
Wilhelmina, Il well-fed lady Of 81
wore Il dark blue dress, ankle length
black gloves, low-heel black shoes anC
Il round black hat. She spoke precise
English with an accent and was diff
cut to understand. If she rules at al
over the vast Netherlands Empire, il
will be in name, only Holland at beS
will be permitted Il mandate over the
Dutch East Indies, following this war
The fine young men of America are no
being called upon to give their lives t.

Belgian, Dutch and British Empires
The time has passed that the countless
millions in India. Belgian Congo ant
the Dutch East Indies will be eX
plotted.
Queen Wilhelmina has ruled fO
more than fifty years and as queens &c
has been a good one. She and he
family have .Salted away millions ex
plotted from The wealth of the Indies
but once the East Indians have had
taste of self-determination, they vii
never again be a subject people. VIII
helmina is no doubt an unhappy Queer
She appeared somewhat ill at cas-
before Congress and was about to star
her ten minute address with introdut
ton from the Vice President whe
Senator Barkley asked her to b
seated
Poison Gas
Here is Il little information for tn
JapS, also Hitler might take notice
We Americans don't like gas as
weapon, but if the Japs care to ad
to the eight hundred occasions o
, which they used cas- against the CHR
esc, it might be of interest to them t
know that our Chemical Warfare Ser'
ice has been intensely busy for month
Thirteen hundred and fifty contractor
i, and subcontractors and hundreds {
men and women workers are supplyiIl
, all the kinds of war gas and incendiar
shells that Hitler and Hirohito kno
about and, in addition, for good me;
, sure, have added Il few "Made
America, only items for poison &;
y warfare.
