The ultimate control of imitation,

dent of the District of Columbia

"As the war progresses 1t Is only
natural to expect the emphasis to
be placed upon the military aspect
Of the struggle. I wish to assure
you, however, that this Nation can
Ill afford to forget the economic
phases Of the war.
I'VE stand In the threshold OF one
of the major transformations of
history. Whether we like it or not,
history is moving in the direction
Of one single unified world economy
The masses throughout the world
are going to have their day In court.
"As America needs young men
physically fit to. fight on the war
fronts Of the world. so does she need
the older men mentally iit to tight
her battles on the economic fronts.
The American way of life has

as bankers must fight this thing

BY HELEN LOMBARD.

Washington talks about the latest
fashion show, second front, gov
ernmental muddling, the lighter
moods of the heavier "tops," cen
sorship, and information from all
over the world. The chosen topic
depends on the place and on the
! group. Bits of news from travellers
who arrive at frequent intervals
from London are eagerly seized on.
Observers arriving in Washington
from London report almost unani-
mously that the British capital is
i'll high war gear; that the earlier
Illustrations, doubts and creaking
of the machinery. due to the switch
over from peace to a war economy,
have disappeared. There is
general air of expectancy and of
eagerness to get on with the lob
which indicates England is ap-
preaching the high point of her
war spirit.
Reports of Nazi Strain,
Washington, according to for
eigners coming from London who
see the American Capital for the
first time, appears to be less war;
keyed than the traditionally phleg-
matte British capital. The WASH
ington escalator is still some dis
tance behind that of London.
Reports coming into Washington
and London from Germany are
beginning to hint, ever so cautiously,
that the peak of Nazi morale may
have already been reached. In
creasing signs of strain are men
toned. While the closed doors
and windows of German towns hide
the signs of individual tension,
there are indications, from little
scenes in railway carriages and in
big stations, that war WEAKNESS is
growing.
The increasing discomforts of
travel bring bubbles of intensive
irritation and even despair to the
surface. Casualties are being heard
discussed, and returning wounded
soldiers are being closely examined
by interested crowds.
A new phenomenon lately has
been observed in the Reich--evi-

campaign. There is an almost des-
