Let Us Have Ixnv "GoTernment," Sloan said, "is essential to protect and develop our civilization. But let us have government by law--thou shall or thou shall not--not government by edict. -That means a stifling regulation--the direct road to regimentation. And when we start there is 110 turning back. Political con- irol of industry may be likened to'a cancer within the human body.

It starts, it grows, it consumes, and ultimately destroys. "The exploitation of industry Ihrough the political consideration is damaging enough when limited to due process of law. Look at the picture today! The exploitation of i industry by regimentation means i he death knell of individual enterprise--the American system which lias made possible a standard of living which is the envy of all peoples. And remember this, too: and vied for attendance at rival mass meetings. For Democracy The American Students union, principal sponsor of the fifth annual demonstration, bound its adherents to a new peace pledge, re- placjng the "white feather" Oxford oath used at previous anti-war rallies.

The new oath says. If a policy, even expressed in definite law, Is unsound and uneconomic, even the all powerful cannot make it work. And that fact is beginning to dawn on the consciousness of our people. "Therefore 1 ask you, is it better to look to the council table or to liolitical control?" Because we want to keep America out of war, we pledge ourselves to make our government a force for peace; because, fascism would destroy our generation, we rededicate ourselves to the struggle for democracy." Various student groups differed widely on methods of reaching the objectives of the oath. Some advocated a strict policy of isolation nonintervention; others proposed an active quarantine of aggressor nations.

Speakers of such diverse views as Rep. Hamilton Fish N.Y.) and Earl Browder, the communist leader, addressed the students. Tea Party Again In Boston, a student group, some in Indian regalia, went to the. waterfront, where their forbears sank British tea, and dumped into the harbor crates labeled "Germany" and "Japan."

Island problems, "intelligent balance be- iween dealer selling power in any -ommunity and a properly determined sales expectancy," and the used car bugaboo.

He urged a "scientific analysis of each community," to develop a plan that would place the "right number or dealers, each of the right each in approximately the right location. And no more. That is the vital thing: No more." mm mm OF After nearly 50 years of faithful railroad service, A. R. Nurse, N'orthern Pacific agent at Austin, will retire from service April 30, officials of the company announced yesterday.

Mr. Nurse, who is widely known throughout the Rocky Mountain division of the Northern Pacific, llrst the service of the company in 1S89 as a telegraph operator at Adrian, N. on the Fargo di- ilsion. For a time he worked for the 0. W.

The veteran railroader reeutered brigade" with the slogan, "Don't sit in the trenches, sit on ths beach," and Goucher college girls enlisted enthusiastically. At tha University of Arizona, students dined on broad and water and contributed the price of a meal to student peace services.

The Students' Peace conference, protesting that the University of California demonstration was faculty-controlled, held its own meeting outside the campus gates and drew 1,000. A heckler hurled an egg at Maury Weiss, secretary of the Young People's Socialist who addressed the seceders, but his aitff was inaccurate, Many Quit In Nejv York, where the demonstration sponsors estimated 90,000 high school and college students left their classrooms for rallies, 40 policemen kept peace between rival camps in Madison Square park and Washington Square. Socialists, with Norman Thomas as their speaker; sponsored one Madison Square meeting and "tha Students' union, with Ernest Toller, exiled German playwright, the other. Fists were used a few times to emphasize arguments. The Trinity league, anti-communist and anti-athiest Catholic organization, condemned the peace strike as "just another communist- inspired united front attack on the peace and welfare of the American Made in America for the American Maid Lovely for spring and sure to be useful next fall and winter--this navy blue wool suit, styled on youthful peasant lines, was designed by Elizabeth Hawes, pioneer American designer.

The exaggerated fullness of the graceful skirt is accented by a wide, gray suede belt with large circular plastrons in light tan at each side. The long- sleeved, fitted bolero jacket is lined with peasant printed cotton and may be worn open or closed. The blouse is a simple, well- cut rrjodel of coarsely woven white linen with gathered neckline and elbow-length push-up sleeves. New York, April Allen White, editor of the Emporla (Kan.) Gatette, said last night that "demagogues are trading the Totes of hungry men for permanence in office." The "Sage of Emporla." addressing the Economic club of New York on "Can It Happen to Us?" defined this as a "new situation" and asserted that "politically we are looking squarely at a rather unpleasant manifestation of democracy." 'But don't think the democrats who are now in power are any worse than the republicans, who are out. would be in their place," he added.

"The unbalance of our system is deeper than politics, at is part of a world-wide thrust at the heart of the democratic system. "We are trying to build a aew democratic system by which government assumes duties and enforces rules, hard and fast rules of economic behavior. "The challenge to democracy today is from minority groups known as pressure groups. They desire to use government as a force, force to establish ideals of justice that have not yet convinced a majority of our citizens. Could Happen "Our American democracy is deep-rooted, yet it is not immune to the black plague of autocracy which is slowly blighting Europe.

The problem of this century is to maintain for the man with exceptional talents an exceptional income and at the same time guarantee to the common man with the common talents a decent standard of living where he may thrive in self-respect."

That is exactly what Great Britain, France and Russia, our friends in the late World war, would have the United States do. The protest of ihe American people against the president's Chicago address was so widespread and so loud that Its philosophy nas not reasserted nor further amplified." Wheeler declared, however, that the president's message on the naval expansion program revealed he had in mind a "policy of quarantine." "It seems a reasonable deduction," he said, "that such recommendations to congress would permit execution of the quarantine doctrine for world security, with the aid of a naval appeal to patriotism and of fighting ships appro- prite to the doctrine--for policing distant waters." Better Wheeler said the millions which it would cost to carry out the program could be better be used for internal improvements for Improving health, employment and educational facilities. "I deplore the part which Germany and Italy aie playing in Spain, and I likewise deplore what Japan, in violation of treaties, is doing In China," Wheeler continued.

Vandenberg said the size limit had been hiked from 35,000 to 45.000 tons because of reporU that Japan planned to build capital vessels.
