lumbla. This list is distributed each
year not only to the society member
ship, but also through the District of
Columbia Public Library and its
branches, through the Washington
public school system, and through in
formal cooperation with the United

While have neither the time nor the
statistics available to estimate the prob
able result of the campaign, feel cer-
tain that the underlying conditions
exist which would assure its success.
With the public transportation sys-
TENS overcrowded, thousands of motor
lists are assisting by picking up many
more thousands of pedestrians and
carrying them into every large employ
ment center. Many of these passen-
gers are members of the share -the-ride
clubs and contribute weekly amounts to
the owners OF the automobiles, as their
share of the operating expense. How
ever, thousands OF other riders are
workers picked up along the highways,
complete strangers to the conscientious
motorists who are disturbed about empty
seats in their cars in these war days
OF precious gasoline and rubber
An amazingly large number of these
aforementioned pedestrians are carried
to and from their work daily at no ex-
pense to themselves, simply because
drivers hesitate to accept the small fare
involved, even when it Is offered How
ever, feel sure driver would accept a
War Stamp pasted in a stamp book which
every driver could be induced to carry
In the glove compartment of his car.
Once the idea caught on every car
owner IN the country would be the
possessor Of partially filled War Stamp
book, and probably would complete the
book himself Vhen nearly time to ex-
change for bond. Pedestrians would
get into the habit of carrying stamps
with them. when 1t was understood
that they were expected to contribute
stamps for their rides.
In no way must this proposal be con-
strued as an effort to supplant public
transportation systems which are doing
a splendid job under most difficult con-
dltlons. 1t is simply an effort to divert
money which is being spent in other
ways into the purchase of War Bonds
and indirectly to encourage the motor
ist, in his tire, gasoline and repair
problems.
This proposal should not apply to
service men and women. They gladly
should be transported free at every on

TO the Editor Of The Star:
In The Sunday Star February 6 there

drugs by draft dodgers A statement
Is made that the drug used is "inex-
pensive and obtainable without pre-
scription"
The drug q purpoSely do not men

and Drug Administration as a dan

allow this drug for human medicinal
use) to be sold only upon the prescrip-
ton OF duly authorized practitioner
Of medicine
The last paragraph Of the article re-
ferred to certainly gives the impression
that this drug can be purchased without
restraint in the drugstores of Washing
ton, but the druggists Of Washington
have been given credit and compli-
mented by the FDA for their attention
and care in the protection of public
health and welfare by not selling dan
gerous drugs over the counter
If the Board of Pharmacy learns,
upon proper authority, that any drug
gist has sold this drug to draftee to
enable the draftee to evade selective

the druggists license to practice his

Opposes Calling Of Election
To the Editor Of The Star:
was amused as we'll as aroused to
read E. L. S. letter to the editor on
February in which he advocated the
continuance of the administration in
power because of the war
America was founded by men dis
contented with conditions existing in the
mother countries and so came here to
face great hardships in establishing
Government of their own. These pio-
neers fought wars to attain their free
dom, the freedom that you and 1 enjoy
through the Constitution of the United
States
I can think Of no greater man than
Washington. who felt that no President
should serve more than two terms.
Surely at the time of Washington the
country was in a crucial stage of organ
.ization, time of great questions and
problems.
True we now are engaged in a war in
which every cent should be spent ad-
vantageously. The New Deal has been
famous for its unlimited spending.
What is our purpose in this war? Ger
tainly we are not after territorial gains.
We are in this war to free the small
countries from the hand of dictators.
These dictators received their power
from people willing to sit by and let
things 60 on as they are

dispensable or business that cannot
resume operation under new manage
ment. The war surely has brought this
point out more clearly than ever with
women invading industry
II we are to retain the principles our
ancestors fought for we must take steps
to curb the never ceasing quest for
power for which the New Deal is famous
whatever the cost.

clusion, but not. however, in the direc-

PARTNERS IN THE FOREIGN
MARKET by forming export asso.
Citations.
In the 26 years since the Webb
Pomerene Act went on the statute
books, it's wisdom has not been ques-
toned and the various export asso-
Citations esta blished under it's
provisions have not been assailed-
until now
And now the department of
justice has brought an action under
the Sherman Act against the United
States Alkali Export Association and
the California Alkali Export Asso-
citation, which represent an impor-
tant and essential industry in the
overseas markets.
DY THE amazing anomaly, AN
ID OLD LAW is invoked to prevent
lawfully constituted and wholly
beneficial organizations from doing
that which A SUPERSEDING LAW
authorizes them to do.
Admitting that this action against
the alkali associations is the first of
the sort ever brought, the depart
ment of justice asserts that it is
striking at FOREIGN CARTELS by
suing AMERICAN EXPORTERS in
an AMERICAN COURT.
From this singular point of view,
as the Commerce and Industry Asso
citation of New York discovers, the
department of justice is actually try
ing to "coerce Great Britain, Soviet
Russia, China and the rest of the
world" into obeying OUR Sherman
Act and the decisions of OUR
Supreme Court.
If that be true, the New Deal
administration of the antitrust laws
belongs with Henry Wallace S
economic doctrines of free milk for
all the Hottentots at American ex-
pense, or the UNRRA's project of
giving away American farm ma
chinery in fantastic quantities while
American farmers lack equipment to
till their fields.

Legal GIObaI OneV

II NDER an unprecedented appliea-
- ton Of the anti trust laws, the
department of justice has adopted
course of action which may cause
great injury to American export
trade.
The anti trust laws were enacted
before the first world war merely to
prevent monopoly, unfair competi-
ton and unfair trade practices IN
THE HOME MARKET.
1t was not supposed at the time
that these laws would be or could
be made enforceable elsewhere.
In operation, however, the legis-
lation was found to exert an unfore-
seen and undesirable effect.
It subjected American industry
and American labor to unfair and
ruinous foreign competition in the
commerce of the world.
TN OTHER countries, producers
Il and merchants were encouraged
and even subsidized-to form ma
tional or international combinations
and to eliminate competition among
themselves for export purposes.
Our anti trust laws prevented
American interests from using
similar methods.
Consequently, it was always diff
cult, and sometimes impossible, for
INDIVIDUAL American enter
prises, WHILE ETING
AGAINST EACH OTHER IN THE
EXPORT FIELD, to compete also
against the huge and ruthless
FOREIGN organizations.
In order, therefore, to enable
OUR industries to hold their own in
the struggle for foreign distribution,
Congress passed the Webb Pomerene
Act in 1918.
THIS act provided, in substance,
Il that the DOMESTIC anti trust
laws should NOT be enforced against
our farms and factories in EXPORT
trade.
1t permitted COMPETITORS IN
THE HOME MARKET to become

HERE briefly is the situation
IL Under the new reapportlonnRnt
Detroit, by reason of population in
crease, is entitled to 81 seats in the
House of Representatives at Lansing.
Reapportionment is mandatory UNI
der the state constitution every 10
years and to show how reluctant the
upstate legislators are to deal fairly
by Detroit, it now has been 16 years
instead of 10 since the last reappor
tionment.
The purpose of this mandate is to
assure that over the years the 83
counties of Michigan will have ade-
quate representation in the Legisla
ture according to their population.
Recent population gains IN
Wayne County gave it an increase Of
six seat in the House
Four of these belong to Detroit.

the board in connivance with Repub

steal Detroit's fourth new seat and

because they believed Crosse Pointe
would elect Republican representa-
tive and Detroit probably would

AS an expression of Darkroom
party politics this would be typical
and hardly edifying trick. 1t would
be a stupid trick, too, in that nobody
knows what the political complexion
of Detroit may be 16 years hence, or
