Macarthur Statement
Clears Fog Generated
By Miller Letters
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's state
ment today that Il do not covet'
the Republican nomination for
President nor would I accept it.
clears the political fog which formed
last year over whether he would
carry the party's standard should
he be nominated.
In a statement issued following
the publication of correspondence
between him and Representative
Miller, Republican, of Nebraska,
Macarthur said II have not sought
the Office nor do I seek it."
This was generally construed in
political quarters as falling short
of "yes or no" position. and that
the general might stand for election
were he nominated at the Republi-
can convention to be held at Chi
cago in June.
Miller Criticized Roosevelt.
In the Miller Macarthur letters
published by Mr.. Miller April l3,
Mr.. Miller criticized President
Roosevelt's administration and pre-
dicted that the general could win
the nomination and carry every
State in the Nation"
Gen. Macarthur replied that he
did not anticipate in ahy way your
fiattering predictions, but I do un-
reservedly agree with the complete
wisdom and craftsmanship of your
comments"
In a later letter Gen. Macarthur
replying to another from the Con-
gress member describing conditions
as Mr.. Miller viewed them in
America, said the description was
Soldering and is calculated to
arouse to thoughtful consideration
of every true patriot We must not
inadvertently slip into the same
condition internally as the one
which we fight externally. Like
Abraham Lincoln, I am a firm be-
iiever in the people and if given
the truth they can be depended
upon to meet any natural crisis.
The great point is to bring before
them the real facts.
"Out here we are doing what we
can with what we have. I will be
glad, however, when more substan-
tial forces are placed at my dis
position"

Future Wars Hinge
On Today's Schooling
Campbell Declares

Educators must play a key part in
keeping the minds of today's youth
free from prejudices and suspicious
which may lead to future wars, Sir
Gerald Campbell, counselor of the
British Embassy. declared yesterday
Before District Education Asso-
citation luncheon at the Mayflower
Hotel he said, 1--WE have to train
youth in the way they should go
and it is vitaily important that it be
done"
Great Britain now is reshaping
education in that nations counter
part of Americas public schools, he
said.
Courses in American history, now
compulsory in all British elementary
and secondary schools, are being
received with interest by British
children, who up to this time have
learned most of what they know of
America through the movies, he
said.
In preparing the courses "snag''
has been encountered. All textbooks
coming from this country show that
England is Public Enemy No. IL
he said. Books are now being writ
ten, however, by Americans who have
lived in England and Britons who
have lived in this country, he pointed
out.
"A great ferment of thinking is
being released In Great Britain by
the war;" he declared. 1--WE realize
that we must now get to know our
in order to live for them
rather than to die for them-or
them for U.s."
Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle, presi-
dent of the Board of Education, told
the group the board favors early
of a proposal to raise
the basic pay of District teachers
and officials SO that it can go into
effect as soon as possible.
AS a policy group, entrusted with
the welfare of $4,000 children, she
added, the board favors salaries
which will attract competent teach
ers and permit us to keep able ad-
in the schools"
The proposal is now before the

ministration criticism placed on his
letters to Mr.. Miller.
In a statement he said "the high
constitutional processes of our repre-
sentative and republican form OF
Government in which there resides
with the people the sacred duty OF
choosing and electing their chief
executive are of so imposing a ma
ture as to be beyond the sphere OF
any individuals coercion or deci-
sion"
The general stressed at that time
that Il have devoted myself ex-
clusively to the conduct of the war
My sole ambition is to assist our be-
loved country to win this vital strug-
gle by the fulfillment of such duty

Whenever I think of blowing, for
some reason / think of corn, which
leads me up to corn silage and a
bulletin on this subject issued by
Wisconsin.
Circular 1877 stresses the impor-
lance of putting corn silage away at
the proper stage of maturity. If
properly prepared, corn silage is one
of the most palatable and nutritious
of silages. To get the greatest food
value possible, it should be ensiled
when neither too ripe nor too green.
Corn is ready for ensiline when
the kernels have barely finished
denting, and when all or nearly
all leaves are still green. If cut
too early, soluble nutrients may
be lost and the sila9e may be-
come soggy and unpalatable.
Cut too mature, it may be too
dry to pack we'll, causing air
pockets and mold.
The Wisconsin circular says hybrid
corn is just as good for silage as is
open-pollinated corn, but it cautions
that hybrid corn may stay green
after the cropis too mature for silage.
Denting of the kernel is the reliable
guide to proper time for cutting.
You can get this circular by writing

Wisconsin, Madison. Wisconsin
