filing by friends of Gov. Stassen of
Missouri of Stassens name in the
Nebraska primaries to be held next
April. So far as the latter is con-
cerned. as Mr.. Stassen is a friend
Of Mr.. WILKES, does not differ with
him "in principle" and has not him.
self authorized the filing, assuredly
this is not a hostile move toward
Mr.. Willkie, though it may be en-
barrassing.
AS to explaining his position on
any issue whatever that will give Mr..
Willkie no trouble at all. With his
usual copiousness he will stress
| again his interest in principles as
distinguished from personalities, in
sist upon his devotion to the cause
Of true liberalism" and emphasize
that his fight is to secure the adop-
ton Of truly liberal" platform
by the Republican party.
Remind One Of Wallace.
To a considerable extent Mr..
Wilkes speeches remind one Of Mr..
Henry Wallace's speeches. 1t Is, in
/ fact, not easy to discover any issue
upon which Mr.. Willkie and our
Vice President differ, except that
Mr.. Willkie does not think Mr..
| Roosevelt great man and that he
should have a fourth term and Mr..
Wallace-on the surface, at least
does. 1t Is also true that Mr.. Willkie
does not think the New Deal has
been we'll administered and Mr..
Wallace-on the surface-thinks it
wonderful from whatever angle it
is viewed.
But the two men are in accord
on foreign policy. on the issue of
international cooperation, on the
essential brotherhood of man. And
they are equally concerned about
the common man." equally bitter
| against racial and religious discrinl-
ination; equal, too, in their enthusi-
asm as expounders of the true lib
eralism" whatever that may be- !,
and equal in their sympathy with
all who toll in field, mine and fac
tory" In brief. Mr. Willkie and
Mr.. Wallace appear to differ only
in detail and on such matters as the
caliber and character of the Presi-
dent, but not at all on principles.
Apparently Mr.. Willkie and Mr..
Wallace each regards himself as
| the real liberal leader of the country,
the one genuine interpreter of lib
eral thought" That is the light in
which they are portrayed by their
| friends, and if their public utter
ances are an indication it is the role
they equally want to play. And
each appears anxious to be the hero
Of the weekly radical press. The
more the words Of these two men are
studied the clearer it becomes that
they are both on the same side of
the street.

is that some Of the things they have
told me have tucked themselves
away in my subconscious and will
come popping out sometime when
I don't mean to say them.
All Of my womenfolk are agreed
on the fact that I mustn't have a
regulation Army haircut. you just
tell 'em," they chorus, that you
don't look well with your hair cut
too short, and that all you want is
to have the barber trim your hair
little in the back. You tell the
Army barber about that good barber
you found in the Commodore Hotel
in New York, and try to describe
just how he cut your hair so the
Army man can cut it the same
way

Yes, girls, I can't wait to tell the
Army barber Just that. And don't

fellows wouldn't mind having me
ride along in comfort, munching on
deviled egg and swigging at lemon
ade, while they double timed it over
the hills and through the woods.
Do Not Disturb Sign.
My wife says, Henry. you know
you are very apt to catch a little
cold now and then, and you know
that rest is the only thing that does
your colds any good, so when you
feel one coming on, don't hesitate
to go to them and say that you
just won't feel like getting up when
the other men do the next morning.

better. They don't want sick SOL

doing them a favor to stay in bed

Yes, Jean. I'll get one of those

hang it on my bunk whenever I
don't feel like getting up. And I
won't fail to ask what you refer to

hasn't given me so much as one

has been married 20 years to a

continental, Iree-Crdue area,
bound by one language and living
under the same political system.
Now this global war has drawn
us out of ourselves and scattered
American forces and interests all
over the earth. And suddenly our
Senators find out that the globe
is not an empty space in which a
country which has been isola-
zionist is on the same footing as
one which for centuries has been
engaged in world wide RESPONSE
bilities.
Some people have to travel
10000 miles to realize this. Others
can just figure it out at home.
What the Senators seem to
want us to do is to enter into
competition with the British
everywhere on earth. There are
several objections to this, one of
which was realized by Hitler in
the days when he was trying to
persuade Britain to divide up
the world with Germany. In
straight competition we have the
disadvantage of extreme igno-
rance. 1t can be overcome, but
the British have a 200-year start.
"Still Have Texas"
Unlike the British, who are
over 100000 people on a
small island, relatively poor in
resources, we are three times that
number Of people on an enormous
continent, and unlikely to con-
centrate on settling Tanganyika
when we still have Texas.
And finally, the kind Of compe-
tition that some Of our new iso-
lationist-imperialist friends are
thinking of is one of the his
toric causes of war.
Actually, the great task Of
building up the world, EXTEND
ing material civilization, raising
the standard of living, and MAIN
tanning peace, which is the con-
dition for any sort Of progress
and prosperity, Is one which will
require all the brains, energies,
labor and mutual cooperation
of all the advanced nations of
the earth.
What is needed is the organized
use for agreed upon purposes OF
the existing facilities of all ma
tions. operating in the interests
Of the general welfare.
Other Questions First.
We cannot, at the same time,
contribute both the largest in
dustry on earth and the largest
commercial facilities on earth.
AS for air bases-when the
United States Senate has made
up its mind what responsibilities,
If any, America is willing to take
in the framework of a general
system of collective security, that
question can be answered-and
not until then. Every country
will grant us air bases as mem
bers OF an interna tional organi-
cation for the maintenance of
peace, but they will not grant us
their air bases as monopolists or
for the purpose OF ruling the
world.
All the questions raised by the
Senators depend on one decision:
Are we going to push our own
exclusive interests, or are we
going to collaborate for mutual
interests?
And what is "enlightened self
interest"

IA Children EnroIIet
In Four Montgomery
|Day-Care Centers

Working mothers In Montgomery
County apparently are taking adj
vantage of the four day-care centers
established about three weeks ago,
with 224 children enrolled thus far
and more coming In every day.
Use Of similar centers set up
throughout the State, however, has
not been as extensive as was antic-
ipated, according to Milton Patter-
son, chairman Of the State Child
Care Committee.
Oficials in charge of the project
in Montgomery County expressed
themselves as ''well satisfied" with
the response to date. They said
1857 children have enrolled In the
16 recreation centers in the county,
which were opened at the same time
as the day-care centers.
Mothers Show Interest.
AS an example OF the interest
shown by mothers in the two prof.
ects. the total enrolment in both
types Of centers showed an increase
of 208 in the four-day period be-
ginning July 3, it was reported. In
the last three days, there has been
an increase of 1874 children in both
the day-care and recreation centers.
Ten day-care centers are sched-
uled to open shortly in Prince
Georges County. Officials there said
they anticipate no difficulty in OBJ
tanning adequate enrolment
Mr.. Patterson explained that the
centers in areas affected by war in
dustries were new idea to most
workers. In Cumberland, he added,
the center had to be closed after
only three children appeared dur
ing the first two days Of operation.
Expects Use to Increase.
He expressed the hope that when
parents realize the centers would
care for children whose mothers
work or whose fathers sleep during
the day, their use would increase.
Other centers are located in Bal

Arlington Board 0.K.s
S1A,538 Contract for
Treatment Of Streets

The Arlington County Board yes
terday awarded a contract for the
treatment of county streets to the
Arlington Asphalt Co., which had
the low bid of $142,53S.4l.
Although the budget provides only
$114,000 for this work, the board did
not authorize the additional $685. ,538
because 1t believes the work cannot
be finished this year and that the
possibility of getting supplies is not
certain.
The budget allocations for street
work are divided as follows: Surface
treatment of developed streets, So
500; retreatment of already i'm
proved streets. $l06,0O0, and original
treatment, sl,500.
The report of the Chester En-
gineers of Pittsburgh. on the county
storm sewer needs also was pre-
sented to the board. The report
estimated the total cost of an in
closed trunk line storm sewer prof.
ect at S10,164 600. In addition.
there was an estimated $4,000 900
cost for Strengthening. enlarging and
otherwise improving the open chan
mel of Four-Mile Run. The report
does not cover any item for the
probable cost of lateral sewers
which would feed into the trunk
lines. County Engineer C. L. Kin
nier said their probable cost would
be another $4,000 900.
Board Member Edmund D. Camp
bell asked County Manager Frank
C. Hanrahan to report on ways
and means of undertaking such a
project.
The survey was authorized by the
county board, September 26, 1912,
at cost of $1,000. 1t was COM
pleted about week ago.
The board also approved an in
terchange system for passengers for
local and Washington taxicabs. j.
Maynard Magruder presented the
plan which, he said, already had
been approved by the District Com
missioners. Mr.. Magruder, chair
man of the county Public Utilities
Commission, said the plan will con-
tinue for the duration of the war.
Expressing its appreciation for
the service rendered by Mrs. Doro-
thy Dunn and George A. Collier,

Darden 10 Ask |ckes
To Ease Gas Rations
For Virginians
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
RICHMOND, July 10.-Virginia' S
case for gasoline -rationing relief,
based on studies that show gas sup
plies in the State have increased
steadily in recent months, will be
presented by Gov Darden early
next week to Petroleum Admins
traitor Ickes.
The Governor, apparently hope
full that some adjustment might be
made, said he would put details of
the case in the hands of Mr.. Ickes,
who has final responsibility for gas
ratlonlng policies administered by
the OPA.
This action will follow a confer
ence held by Virginia and PAW rep
resentatives this week after Gov.
Darden had protested that the tight
restrictions now imposed on Vlr-
ginia are "inequitable
Data Is Released.
The data on nom military gaso-
line supplies, authorized for release
by the Governor, showed that total
inventories increased 20.5 per cent
during May, gained another 25.4 per
cent by June 10, and on May 81
were sufficient to supply State mo-
torists for nearly IS days.
The study, which included whole
sale distributors, but not the retail
service stations, was the basis for the
Governors decision to seek an cas-
ing in regulations which he con-
sidered ''inequitable." Virginia is
the southernmost of the Atlantic
Coast States with ban on pleasure
, driving.
The report said the acute short
age of gasoline existed only in
Washington and Baltimore and
lasted for only two days.
| Gov. Darden arranged to meet
with Representatives Robertson and
Satterf1eld over the week end as the
| first of a series of conferences
planned with Virginia members of
Congress to formulate concerted
plan of action.
Adjustment Hoped For.
Highfay Commissioner James A
Anderson and Motor Vehicles Di-
rector c. F. Joyner, jr. conferred
yesterday in Washington on the
pleasure driving ban, but later said
only that they were hopeful some
adjustment would be made
Representative Burch, who ar
ranged the conference with E. B.
Swanson, director of research for
PAW, said he could "see no reason
why there should be any difference
in the ban on gas in Virginia and
in other parts of the Seaboard
| States"
The study by Mr. Anderson and
Mr.. Joyner showed that gasoline
imported into Virginia du ,g May
amounted to 53,427,0l5 gallons, as
compared to exports of 1924, ,548
gallons. ~---
The State absorbed 35,133,835 gal
Ions of the total imports, leaving
in the companies oil tanks as of
May 81, a supply sufficient for
nearly IS days on the basis of the
May consumption.
The quantity stored in tanks on
May was reported to be 15,0O9, ,919
gallons. This increased to 18,098,-
GAG gallons by May 81 and to 2l,-
822,972 gallons by June 10.
Oficials declined to say whether
the 81 1922 972-gallon supply on June
| 10 was the approximate total ca
pacity of storage tanks in Virginia.
