Proposes 'Despots"
To Get Things Done"


Whatever the pros and cons may be
in the varying viewpoint as to whether
civilian defense and other matters should
be under the War Department and or
the Navy Department, the issue sought
to be raised as to what confidence may
be had in Dean Lands might be coun-
tered by asking what confidence should
exist in the Army and the Navy by
reason of Pearl Harbor.
What is needed is less pickering as to
who Is to do things and some one do
them. AS an employe of the Panama
Canal (1905-l91s} Gen. Goethals had the
steam shovel engineers trying to break
each others records for maximum yard
age removed. That was a peace time
job, uninfluenced by wartime stress.
We need . few benevolent despots" Of
Goethals' type to get things done.

Supports Patent Office Officials
In Richmond Compromise.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The best answer to the Washington
patent attorneys letter in The Star for
January IA will be found in the high per-
centage of patent examiners who, like
myself, will follow the Patent once to
Richmond despite great personal incon-
venience and pecuniary loss.
The examining corps has reason to be
grateful to the present oficials of the
Patent once. One instance: There are
now more examiners in grade (profes-
sional-minimum salary, $500 then at
any previous time in the history of
the oflce.
Consequently, when the tone of res
olution contained an implication Of per-
sonal criticism of the officials for acqui-
escing in a decision of the President, =
large majority of the examiners voted
against the resolution.
The decision now Is final, and am
sure that the harmonious relations which
exist between the officials and the exam
lining corps quickly will be resumed.

Expresses Appreciation
OF Mr.. Lawrence's Column,

To the Editor OF The Star:
For the past few years have been
reader Of the articles by David
Lawrence which appear in the columns
Of The Star. and I believe that he is the
most valuable contributor to your paper.
Few writer's are so well qualified to
discuss the problems of the day. He
speaks from a wealth of information
and experience. His daily discussions
are interesting and fair and just what
we need for an enlightened America.
1t is only those whose minds are biased
who fail to grasp his logic

Insists big Enemy"
Is in Berlin.

To the Editor Of The Star:
This is not race war. We must not
forget while hating the Japs that the
big enemy in this war Is Hitler and
Hitlerism. The Japanese have hated us,
since we passed the immigration law
which denied them citizenship. But
they would never have dared carry out
their plan of many years had not they
taken orders from the arch criminal of
the world.
Hitler is opposed to all races but his
Aryan type His fundamental doctrine
supporting this war is, Race is every
thing; all else is trash" ("Mein Kampf'D.
He would use the Russian whom he
hates, and the Japanese whom he toler-
ates, to help him toward world conquest.
We must destroy militarism in Japan.
We will kill many Japanese. We will
destroy their ambitions for world sea
power. But we must end this war in
Berlin. E. B. HENDERSON.

attitude toward the reconstruction of
Europe and the amount Of rehabilitating
required, as well as its relation to q re-
vived world trade.
Coupled with other expenditures, this
temporary Government outlay may leave
the United States in a position where
its problem is to avoid price imitation
arising out Of volume of public plus
private investment which produces scar
cities. There is some reason to think,
therefore. that our problem in the sew
eral years after the present war may be
the reverse of that which faced us after
the last war.
New public and private investment due
to the change-over from war to peace
time production will not be as great as
the magnitude Of the present war effort
might lead us to believe. Some arma-
ment plants still will be needed. Other
armament plants. simply being recon-
verted to peacetime production, will need
only temporary subsidy.
The last point of fiscal policy to be
dealt with here is tax policy in the post
war period. Basically and above all else
the tax system should discourage neither
consumption nor investment Too high
an excess profits tax during the war, or,
perhaps even more important for subse-
quent ability to invest, q very high un-
distributed profits tax may take from
firms their power to invest substantial
amounts after the war. Again, as We
hav. seen, If the tax system is allowed
to retain high excises and income taxes
which bear on consumption, consumer
purchasing power may be too low.

CONNECTICUT COLLEGE
 FOOTBALL SATURDAY
(By United PresS)


 The football front opens Satur- day in Connecticut, with all college teams, except Yale, leaping into ac- tion.
 The Ellis will wait until October 3 to open their 1942 season against Lehigh at New Haven. The New Haveners will operate under a new coach and system this year, the coach being Howie Odell, and the system good or bad, dependent on how the team makes out.
 Elsewhere in Connecticut, how ever. the small college teams were unloading their footballs and sharp ening their formations as the call to action neared.
 Coast Guard Weak?
 Wesleyan starts of its campaign, moving against the U. S. Caost Guard Academy eleven at New Lon- don. The Coast Guard lost much of their graduation last year. and there was a tendency around to favor Wesleyan, although its power vas unknown.
 Trinity College was scheduled to tart operations against Union at Schenectady. The caliber of the Hartford eleven also was e dark Iecret.
 Tine University of Connecticut cam troops down to College Park. Md. for 6 clash with the University M Maryland. All that is known lbout Connecticut'S aggregation ss hat it has a will to win.
