50,009 people crowded the Zoo
here in Washington last Sunday,
to watch the various animals which
are brought here from all over the
world. One commentator, after
visiting the Zoo, said that “none of
the animals were fighting.” The
fighting among human beings is
the first topic of conversation in
Washington.
Six big battleships now under
construction at a cost of half a
billion dollars with more author
ized, may have to undergo some
changes, because the big Navy men
in their navy expansion program
did not figure that bombs from
war planes could be so destructive.
Word from Norway and what our
Secretary of the Navy saw during
the spring war practice on the Pa
cific Ocean has started a great stir
among the builders of fighting
ships. Armor will have to be plac
ed on the decks of many* of our
ships, and plans will have to be
redrafted and there will have to
be some reconstruction to protect
ships from air attacks. Claims and
counter-claims are being made on
all sides, but sufficient is already
known to indicate that bombing
planes are dangerous to naval
craft.
PLANES WITH ARMOR
EVigland and France are buying
thousands of bombing planes in
this country, but they are not buy
ing warships. The reason for that
is believed to be that those coun
tries are building ships to meet the
new danger from the air. Many
changes are also being made in
the construction of our new war
planes in order to protect them
from anti-aircraft weapons. Word
from Europe is that planes there
are equipped with gasoline tanks
which are self-sealing after being
penetrated by a bullet, armor to
protect the pilot and armor to
protect the ship itself. Why
American planes have not been
equipped with this protective equip
ment heretofore is not known. That
this was no secret during the last
war was verified by a statement
by a government employee in the
Farm Credit Administration, who
flew with the American fighting
forces in Eui’ope during the last
war. This employee has been dec
orated by three countries, includ
ing our own. He shot down enemy
planes and he himself has been
shot down. He tells of flying a
fighting ship for France during the
last war, w'hich was equipped with
self-sealing gasoline tank, armor
for the protection of the pilot and
armor for the protection of the
plane itself. He even states that
some planes twenty to tv/enty-two
years ago were equipped with can
non instead of the low calibre
machine guns.
Harry Hopkins and Marvin Mc
Intyre may never again be able to
don harness and do real work, ac
cording to their friends who say
both men are suffering from ill
nesses from which they may never
recover. Hopkins has been in town
several times recently but he is not
a well man.
Years ago, when Judge Willis G.
Scars of Omaha was a Congress
man from Nebraska, he gave three
ears of corn to Congressman Kerr
of North Carolina. Kell tells col
leagues that he planted this Ne
braska corn and broke all produc
tion records in that southern state.
The federal highway authoriza
tion bill for 1942 has been given a
rule and will come into the House
soon. It has many new provisions,
but is lacking Adminsitration ap
proval. Fears are expressed that
it may never again see daylight
this year. If that happens, the
forty-odd state legislatures, which
meet biennially to plan their road
programs two years in advance,
may have to devise new road plans.
Many members are watching this
bill in an effort to continue the
regular method of federal aid road
construction. The measure auth
orizes $125,000,000 for each of the
years 1942 and 1943 and also in
cludes fifty millions for grade
crossing elimination, and twenty
five million dollars for farm-to
market roads. It is an authoriz
ation bill and not an appropria-(
tion bill.
During the last six years, we
have sold Japan 8,520,811 tons of
scrap iron, a total greater than
what we have sold to all other na
tions combined, including Great
Britain, Germany, France, Russia
and Italy. This has made possible
Japan’s huge navy building pro
gram as well as enabling her to
carry on her conquest of China. In
1934 Japan served notice on the
' United States and Great Britain
1 that the 5-5-3 navy ratio treaty
j between the three nations would no
i longer be considered binding upon
i Japan. Japan's scrap iron pur
I chases from the United States
I more than trebled during the time
I following that notice, averaging
' 1,420,000 tons annually since that
| time. By selling our scrap iron to
; Japan, we are depleting our own
[ valuable and necessary resources,
and at the same time heaping huge
additional tax burdens upon the
American people for naval con
struction in order to meet the com
petition which our exports of scrap
iron to Japan make possible.
KEEP OUT OF WAR
Friday, May 10, brought mem
bers of the House and Senate to
their offices with newspapers in
their hands and many were found
in groups with anxious faces and
many queries. Radio sets in the
Capitol building were kept turned
on. Members who were here when
this country joined the allies in the
first world war, told their col
leagues that: “It’s exactly like it
was before the last war.’’ Mem
bers sat quietly as a few members
took the floor to say that it was
time to say “little about the w'ar—
to remain calm—to complain to the
Secretaries of War or Navy if you
have criticisms—and it’s time to
keep America out of the war and
the war out of America.’’ Al
though propoganda of all kinds has
started to work up sentiment in
America, the general sentiment up
to this hour in Congress is that the
war over in Europe is not our war
and that we are going to do every
thing that is humanly possible to
stay out. But the President's de
claration for peace was discussed
seriously. There is a unanimous
feeling that Uncle Sam better keep
his powder dry and have every
thing in readiness right now for
real defense.
Community Clubs ought to get
busy right now and advertise their
towns and places of interest, be
cause tourists are going to stay
in the United States this year. An
inspection at the passport office
of the Department of State shows
very few people now want pass
ports to leave America. Millions
in other countries want to come
here but those who are here are
going to stay. The millions spent
in foreign travel each year will be
spent at home this summer.
Several inquiries arrive asking
the meaning of “M-Day.” It means
“Mobilization Day” and it has come
to nearly every neutral country in
the world including some countries
which have remained at peace for
over 100 years and now find them
selves invaded. The American In
dustrial-Mobilization Plan is a
plan to mobilize every human be
ing in our land. It would tem
porarily supercede the Constitu
tion “in order to meet the neces
sities of modern warfare.” Lead
ers here are sincere in their hope
that it will not have to be applied
here and that we will never be
called upon to sacrifice democracy
in America, to go to war to pre
serve the liberties of all the peo
ple of the world for fear we may be
forced to give up our own liber
ties. At this hour, leaders here, in
cluding the President, feel that the
only safe course for America is to

stay out of foreign^ wars; to build
up a national defense adequate to
protect us against all contingen
cies, and let the rest of the world
understand that those who would
disturb us will get an awful licking.
Serious minded statesmen want no

Once it was a "light bill," and rates
were considered high. Today it is a
service bill, for a multitude of electric
appliances that all work for only a
few pennies a day.
Rates here compare favorably with those anywhere in the
United States—and the average cost to all our residential
customers is less than 9 cents a day. Consider all that
electric service does for you, and you'll realize how cheap
it really is.
