The fading out Of the traditional party

observation. I'm recent times the distinc-
tiOn between the two major political parties
has reached the vanishing point. They do
not consistently differ i'm policies, aims,
methods or principles. The result i'm both

By no stretch Of the imagination do Claude

Landon and Wendell Willkie, belong to the

that initiated the movement for free public

concern for the general welfare. Labor
leadership is not separating the interests of

Observe Labor Doy
Talk by D. J. Lewis
HighIighf of Holiday

The Labor Day rally and picnic
held at Constitution Park yesterday
under sponsorship OF Local 1874,
Textile Workers Union of America,
attracted one of the largest crowds
ever to attend an event at that
recreation center. An address by
David J. Lewis. former Congress
man from the Sixth Maryland Dis
trict, featured the speaking pro-
gram.
Former Congressman Lewis dis
cussed mans right TO work and 10
live in peace, not only In his own
community and country, but in the
world at large.
Developing his plea for interna-
tional action to prevent war, Mr.
Lewis praised Daniel F. McMullen.
Democratic candidate for Congress
in the Sixth District who has de-
clared In favor Of world organi-
zation backed by police force to
keep the peace.
I'VE hear from time to time"
said the speaker, objection to join
ing with other nations to prevent
war because national sovereignty
might be impaired. You don't hear
this objection from such man as
former Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes. nor the late President Taft.
nor Woodrow Wilson. statesmen
who would be the first to know il
sovereign rights were in danger.
WAR PREVENTION
"The pattern for war prevention
is we'll supplied by the laws of our
state and country" Mr.. Lewis
pointed out. Legislation Is re-
quired but II need not be by two
thirds vote OF the U. s. Senate.
X * Congress, the two Houses
acting by majority votes. has COM
plete power to enact such legis-
lation."
Lewis pointed to the admission
of Texas as state to show
precedent.
Texas was an independent state.
It made a treaty with the U. :.
providing for its entry into the
union as q state. This treaty failed
OF ratification In the Senate. Presi-
dent Tyler proposed joint resolu-
tion which included the terms OF
the treaty and this was passed by
majority vote. Does any one doubt
that Texas is one Of the states Of
the United States?"

Foremost planning has been
conferred around the re-employ-

Because of its faith in the
postwar growth and prosperity
of Detroit and southeastern
Michigan, Detroit Edison COM
pany has set its sights 10 spend
SIPS, 100000 during the ten
years after the war to keep pace
with demands for electricity in
the area, James w. Parker,
president and general manager,
has just announced.
Parker disclosed that a new
1000 kilowatt, 100000 horse
power turbo-generator is on
order, now held UP for many
months by the urgent need Of
critical materials for war in
dustries. This will be one of
the first items of postwar con-
struction we shall do the mo-
ment the demands of the war
permit" Parker said.
"Pent-up demand for auto
mobiles and the power needs OF
the many new war industries
which will continue in Detroit
after the war; growth in the use
of present and new electrical
appliances, better home and in
dustrial lighting; growth in pop
ulation in our territory; and
high frequency induction heat
ing for industries are factors
which make us feel optimistic on
a basis of factual studies"
1--WE feel that after the war
there will follow one of the
greatest eras in expansion of
uses for electric power we have
ever seen. The electric industry
is still young and, granted a
minimum of restrictions and in
reference, is in a position 20
make an important contribution
to the overall prosperity of the
country in the years immediate
ly following"
Mr.. Parker estimated that by
1850 average residential custom
er appliance use should increase
