Ang|o-American Unity
Viewed by Halifax as
Basic 10 World Peace
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Nov. ll.-Unless the
United States and Great Britain join
hands in close postwar co-opera-
ton, says Viscount Halifax, British
Ambassador to the United States,
the two countries will fail again,
as We failed in 1918"
Lord Halifax, speaking at the an
nual meeting of the Academy OF
Political Science last night. en-
phasized that future relations be-
tween Great Britain and the United
States must be more concrete and
effective than mere friendship.
"Whatever the nations which
want peace may together decide to
do after the war In order to secure
it," he said, an indispensable part
Of any such larger plan must be
the discovery OF q Arm basis for
Anglo-American cooperation"
At the same meeting Brig. Gen.
Frank O'D. Hunter said that Amer
ica's Flying Fortresses have opened
a battle front 10000 feet above the
heads Of the German people
through the roof-the only route
at present open into the heart of
Germany"
'"The Fortresses that daily cross
the Channel are building a bridge
for the invasion Of Europe" Gen.
Hunter. commander Of the 1st AAF,
said. There is no place left in
Central Europe for the enemy to
hide.
Our precision bombing will be
expanded. for we have proved two
facts to our satisfaction and the
enemy's regret. First, that bombing
operations against selected targets
from 10000 to $4,000 feet in the
face Of antiaircraft and fighter de-
lenses is perfectly feasible, and, sec
ond, that properly selected and
fused bombs will destroy any known
industrial structure"
Earlier w. Randolph Burgess. vice
chairman of the National City Bank
of New York. in a paper read by
George B. Roberts, also a vice presi-
dent Of the bank, expressed belief
that the common sense behavior"
of the American people had pre-
vented imitation.

In the service, whether In training
or In combat, is paid to widows even
though they do not have children.
Pension payments to widows are $50
month. Fifteen dollars a month
is paid for the first child and $13
each for additional children, until
the total dncluding the widow's) is
500 a month.
Mr.. Clague said that the interest
of veterans organizations in this sit
uation seemed to be the one chance
Of forcing congressional attention on
the Wagner Murray Dingell bill,
which includes a provision correct
ing the discharged soldiers lapse of
survivors insurance. The bill, he
said, was drafted by the American
Federation of Labor. 1t includes
many of the boards recommended
tions, he added.

said, by writing to Chairman Ait
meyer Of the board regarding the
widow Of one Of his constituents
a covered employe who died few
months after his discharge from
the Army. Mr. Altmeyer had to
reply that nothing could be done
for the widow under the law as 1t
now stands, he added.
Every employe covered by the
Social Security Act is taxed l per
cent of his pay and his employer
must pay an additional / per cent
for old age and survivors insurance.
A childless widow is not paid unless
she is 65. The benefits for orphans
in the case of a month en-
ploye who has been paying the tax
for three years are, $35.42 month
to a widow or guardian for one
child, $49.58 for two children, $56.66
for three children.
In the case of an employe who
has been taxed for three years on
a $250-a-month average pay the
benefits are: $3.50 to a widow for
one child, $72.10 for two children,
$82.40 for three children. The pay
ments continue until the children
are Is years of age.
