Neville Chamberlain was IAN en-
larged edition of Calvin Coolidge, al
belt less taciturn and less honest than
his American prototype. :. He was a
cold and funereal business man who
made screws, nuts and guns. His
passion was peace-to be achieved by
selling lesser peoples into bondage to
the Caesars. His political technique,
like Baldwin's, was one of spreading
confusion in order to secure support
for purposes which the nation would
never have approved had they been
was business The desertion of
Ethiopia and the League was peace.

Spanish republic was 'non-interven-

Schuman habitually minimizes the
role of class conflict in recent Euro
pean history. Yet he is far-sighted
enough to realize that the United
Nations must envision a free world
order if they are to win military
victory. "a globe-girdling empire, as
sailed by ruthless and imaginative
conqueror bent on subduing the
planet, can survive only by dedicat-
ing itself to a dream Of worldwide
commonwealth of free men,"

in the struggle with the dictators, the
United Nations must push to the limit
their program of freedom among the
oppressed peoples.
"Only by summoning the van
pushed to rebellion against the con-
querors can victory be won without
the shedding of oceans of blood Each
handful Of trained agitators and
shrewd conspirators in Shanghai,
Barcelona, Bordeaux and Brussels :. :.
will be worth a whole division Of
troops" says Schuman.

fully effective when it is linked with
a positive program, visible in deeds
as we'll as in words for United
States of Europe and a Unites States
of the world dedicated irrevocably to
a free world order"
Design for Power is less useful

add greatly to the text and the book
is less complete than the two pre-

Western Union to Discontinue
Errond Service for Duration

Western Union will discontinue its
errand service October Is for the
duration, B. R. Allen, Washington
superintendent, said today. Mes
sengers available will be concen-
trated on handling the greatly in
creased flow of war kilograms, he
added.
Postal Telegraph, which has
similar errand service, was taken
by surprise" by the Western Union
announcement T. P. Dowd, super
intendent, began to consider the Sit
uation as soon as he heard of West
ern Unions move, it was learned.
He is expected to make an an
nouncement late this afternoon.
Western Union discontinued its
errand service in the last war also,
it was recalled. At that time, as in
this war, the volume of kilograms
went up at the same time that the
supply of messengers dropped.
Pressure of war kilograms had
already made two changes in the
errand service before its discontin-
uance was announced, Mr.. Allen
said. First, the company ceased to
perform foolish errands" about
year and half ago. Customers no
longer call up Western Union and
ask a messenger to go out and get

Pair Linked 10 Robberies
And Wallet Theft Here

Two colored men were believed
by police to have figured in two rob-
berries and one pocket-picking early
today.
Joseph White, 1884 Euclid street
NV, told police he was walking
north on Fourteenth street near
Euclid at 2 am. when he was stopped
by two colored men, who robbed him
of his wallet containing $40 and
personal cards.
James Allen. colored, 2408 Four

to police that two colored
men hailed his taxi at New Jersey
avenue and M street NV, told him
to drive to Second and H streets
NV. thence on to Chews court
where they relieved him of S14 and
his IS" gasoline ration card.

necessary TOOLS" he explained, "but
we just can't get them"
Practically all varieties of metal
also are needed, he asserted, par
ticularly copper and aluminium.
There is small amount of copper
on hand, he said, but no aluminium.
The students are forced to use GAL
vanized iron instead, he said, which
is not as good for our purposes"
Scrap Drive Planned.
Much of the scrap metal that is
being contributed in the country
scrap campaign could be used by
the class, he pointed out.
In fact, he added, the students
plan to cut up exhibits made in
former shop classes and use the
metal over again.
Mr.. Bender said he already has
made several trips to the Glenn
Martin plant in Baltimore in an un-
successful attempt to obtain scraps
OF copper and aluminium.
IT We don't get the metal and
tools we need" he warned, ''the en-
tire course will be slowed down and
the students may lose interest"
Members of the class already are
asking when they will start produc-
Ing airplane parts, he said.
Even if they make only one SIM
pie gadget," he declared, 'it will
make them feel that they are ac-
tually contributing something to-
ward the war effort"
Welding to Be Taught.
The course is a two-semester one
and during the second semester Mr..
Bender said he plans to bring in
men from private industry to teach
welding.
Intensive instruction in welding
will be given only to seniors, he said,
with the sophomores and juniors
learning the rudiments.
Il think the students in this class,
particularly the seniors, could 20
into any airplane factory and get a
job after they complete this course" :"

BY the hundreds, Government
girls who work all day have been
responding this week to the call
for volunteers to make men in uni
form feel at home at the new ser
vicemen's center.
But since they do work all day,
the only hours they can serve are
in the evening and the center opens
at $50 O'Clock in the morning.
There's still a daytime job to be
done with just as many women
needed to do it.
Boys will be dropping in all
through the day, to write letter or
kill few hours playing ping pong
or just wanting to talk to somebody.
And they will want to eat. They
are known to start consuming ham
burgers early in the morning.

for the boys who are here between
trains, between one camp and
another. For them, Washington is

see more than anything else is a

Wanted particularly are women
who can play the piano, can hold
up their end Of q ping pong game,
a gin rummy match, bridge, DOM
inoes or checkers. Most important,
they should be free to devote some
time to the center in the morning
or afternoon.
Jobs Aren't Difficult.
The new center will open October
10 at Thirteenth and G streets NV.
That's why the call for volunteers
must be answered now.
The Jobs to be, filled aren't din
cult ones. No training is required.

1900 Teachers
Go Pay|ess
In District
4.
New Appointments
Blamed for Delay
In Issuing Checks

Because dozens OF new appoint
ments slowed up the work of school
payroll clerks, 5000 District school
teachers went payless today and
probably will receive no money un-
til Tuesday. Checks for their two
weeks of work in September were
due yesterday.
Dozens of teachers called the
Franklin Administration Building
and the newspapers yesterday when
it became apparent the checks would
not be issued. In addition, several
went to Chairman Randolph and
other members of the House Dis
trict Committee to complain that
they had no advance notice of the
delay
After having received no pay for
three months, they declared, they
suddenly found themselves with
scarcely enough money to eat on and
some teachers said they already
were in debt.
Teachers receive no pay for the
July and August vacation period.
Checks for the three weeks work in
June were issued June 10.
School OfficiaIs Blamed.
Arthur r. Pilkerton, District audi
tor, told the clerk of the House Dis
trict Committee that the delay was
due to failure of school officials to
get the payroll to him until noon
Tuesday. 1t was due last Friday
Though his Office is making every
effort to speed issuance of the
checks, he said, the routine work
to be done on them will make it
impossible to get them out before
Monday or Tuesday.
Il really can't tell yet" he said,
but it probably will be Tuesday
Richard F. Harris, school pay roll
clerk, attributed the delay in his
Office to the dozens of new teacher
appointments made this year. Be-
cause of the number of teachers
who have taken war jobs, been in
Quoted or are on leave, he said,
about 300" new appointments were
made this summer.
Information on the new teachers
was supposed to be in his Office by
September l, Mr.. Harris continued.
but some appointments still we're
being made at that time
Its just delay all along the line"
he said
Emphasize Poor Pay.
The teachers appearing before
Chairman Randolph took occasion
to emphasize that the force of good
teachers is being depleted rapidly
because almost any one can get a
job at better pay in the Govern
ment."
Teachers must have a bachelors
degree to get salary of 400 or
ST ,440, they explained, while many
of the young girls they have been
teaching can get S1,440 Immediately
with the Government.
In addition, the teachers said,
they must have a masters degree to
be eligible for salary of S1,620,
while any young stenographer gets
that Immediately with the Govern
ment."
Some of the teachers who COM
planned to school officials and to
the newspapers contended that,
though they had been prepared to
receive no check till October l, the
delay beyond that date lis both in
| convenient and embarrassing
