LOVE Will find A way

Millions Must Starve";; Goal

e d.; Government Helpless;
Drift Toward Atomic War;;
Return of Dark Ages Foreseen"
so sigh the headlines, day by
day assuring US that our world
is going to the dogs on demount-
able rims and that we can't do
anything to stop it.
This hypnotism of helplessness
would be funny were it not dan
gerous. Certainly it is nonsense.
Man-made calamities can occur.
But they are not inevitable, Mil
lions do not have to die of hun
ger. Food can be shared and
transported-even if we have to
use planes. If we care US much
about getting food to the famine
fronts as we did about getting
ammunition to the fighting
fronts, we'll get it there-and in
time,
Do we have to sit down and
wait for an epidemic" of strikes
to pass? Do we have to let coal
miners and operators wage a pri-
vate war at the public's expense?
Is our society so powerless to
protect itself that it can only
stand by while industrial strife
sets back reconversion by
months? No. We can organize
industrial peace-if we really
want to do it. All we have to do
ia to make it clear that the gen.
eral welfare is superior to any
special interest.
Is it necessary that the Gov.
eminent o f the United States
should repeatedly give an sxbib.
ition of impotence, with President
and Congress in a virtual dead
lock? Is it impossible to bridge
the gulf between the White
House and Capitol to obtain re-
sponsibie two-party government
in America! Is a rationel reform
of Congress, to streamline its
archaic committee system and
provide efficient. responsible law
making machinery. beyond hope?
No, not if Americans will even
momentarily show az much in
terest in such reforms as they
do in personal privilege or party
prejudice.
Is a third world war inescap-
able? Is it fated that the nations
must drift into two armed
camps? Is our boosted civilization
able to harness atomic energy
for destruction but unable either
to put it to constructive use or
70 devise political machinery to
control it's explosive power? No
and again No. Not if we care
enough to sacrifice a small part
of our ignorance, greed and hate.

Diversion Of Auto Tax
Hit by Montgomery
Oil, Gasoline Dealers

Montgomery County gasoline and
oil dealers today were on record as
favoring use of motor vehicle reve-
nues in Maryland for highway use
only as part of program adopted
at a meeting sponsored by the
County Petroleum Industries Com
mittee.
The group met at Hungerford
Tavern, Rockville, Tuesday night,
and also called for sound highway
planning, elimination Of gas tax
evasion and repeal Of Federal ex-
else taxes on gasoline and lubricat-
ing oils.
Opposition to a proposal of the
State Roads Commission to increase
the gasoline tax was voiced by J.
II. Lanigan, executive secretary of
the Maryland Petroleum Industries
Committee.
Maryland this year will collect
S14 900, 900 at the rate of four
cent tax per gallon" Mr.. Lanigan
declared. This amount is double
that collected in 1881. 1t certainly
must be disheartening to the aver
age motorist to pay the gas tax in
increasing amounts and then to be
told that the rate must be increased
If he wants roads"
Mr.. Lanigan asserted that Is
progressive" States already have
amended their constitutions to pre-
vent diversion Of motor vehicle reve-
nues and urged that Maryland
voters be given an opportunity to
express their views in a referendum
on the matter.
G. D. Armstrong was reelected
chairman OF the county committee
