A Million HENRY FORD gives some idea of this country's potential capacity as a belligerent when he declares: "with six months preparation I could turn out 1,000 fighting planes a day." If Henry Ford could do that, and Henry has a reputation for backing up what could the national airplane and motor industry COMBINED accomplish! The United States in a million war planes in the air. BUT like all other war figures, from the American standpoint, there are one or two flies in the ointment One of them would be 50,000 planes with trained pilots. Trained pilots don't spring up from the soil overnight, like Bryan's shotgun fanners. They have to be made and it takes at least a year of intensive training to make one. Another is th?t 6 months. If the war in Europe continues at its present pace, there won't be much point in producing 50,000 or a million planes, after six months have passed, as far as Europe is concerned. The one hope, the one ray of sunshine.in the in creasing darkness, as before stated, is that the war WONT! A Three Billion Added Tax! SO we are going to raise taxes to the tune of three billions to pay increased costs of national defense! SPLENDID! With national outgo exceeding national income, and a record debt for all time, taxes should be raised. In fact, they should have been raised long ago. With so much of the civilized world giving their lives for their country, "we the people" should at least be willing to give some of our CASH. And for that matter "we the people" ARE. In fact, unless we are greatly mistaken, 99 of the people of this country, who have more than they need for the necessities of life, are, in view of the present situation, willing to give to their government until it HURTS ! BUT there is also one little fly in THIS ointment, nntai'noH in the clnsintr naraoranh of the tax vuu wva iiivu mv ,.w...q i 0 - press dispatch from Washington: "The statement did not make it clear whether enact ment of the new taxes would be sought at the present ses sion of congress or not."

If it is, then all praise to a new deal WITHIN the New Deal ! Will Stalin Aid Allies? A NYTHING. of course, " eyed war, but we don't advise those who are bank ing on Soviet aid to the allied cause, to place too much faith in it. It is true the new Churchill government has thrown overboard the Chamberlain anti-Stalin policy and adopted a new one of conciliation and friendship, presented to the Kremlin by a leading British labor advocate. It is also true Stalin has shown a disposition to step in if Mussolini undertakes, by armed force, to upset the status quo in the Balkans, w hich indicates no strong Soviet sympathy with the Rome-Berlin axis. But increasing coolness toward Berlin and de creasing hostility toward London, are two things; any military action against Berlin or in favor of the allied cause, are very decidedly a couple of OTHERS! . TWO recent articles in the Saturday Evening Tost, giving the inside story of the Stalin-Hitler relation ship, one by Foreign War Correspondent Besse, the other by General Krivitsky, late of the Russian Secret Service, give some exceedingly cogent reasons for this belief. Not only has there been a very close and friendly working agreement between Berlin and Moscow, ever since World War No. 1, but as a result of the war against Finland. which not Russia but Germany reallv won, the "RED ARMY IS TODAY NO MORE THAN AN AUXILIARY OF THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE." THIS quotation is from the Krivitsky article, but Besse, in substance, agrees with it. In fact, the American writer goes even farther and maintains that without German technical aid in its factories, such as exists today, Soviet Russia wouldn t be able to maintain ITSELF anV military adventures across itS borders. " mi :! l o...i: t ir:.! ..J I IHTC IS HU llflliai DUtllil self-interest would like to see the German Napoleon crushed. But the fact remains, and is supported by both authorities, that as things now stand, Soviet Russia under Stalin would no more think of giving military aid to the allied cause and thus incurring the wrath of Der Keichsfuchrer than would Sweden or Denmark !

Of course I would take my iodine ration. That goes with out saying, for sure and every body not under medical care needs that. If you are at all curious about it, send a stamp ed envelope bearing your ad dress and ask for monograph "Instructions for Taking the Iodin Ration." (Iodin is my spelling for this particular prep aration). 2. For two or three months. at any rate, I should take 200, 000 U. S. P. XI units of vita min D daily. This is available either in the form of a neutral oil, nearly tasteless, containing 30,000 units in the teaspoonful, or in the form of standard cap sules, each little capsule con taining SO.000 units. 3. I should see to it that my diet provided plenty of vitamin C, (fresh fruits, greens, fresh fruit juices) and vitamin A (but ter, cheese, egg yolk, yellow foods In general, liver, greens) and plenty of calcium (milk, cheese, peas, beans, cabbage, turnip, peanuts, greens, etc.). 4. In addition to high calcium diet (ask for monograph on this. inclosing stamped envelope bearing your address), I would supplement my diet for a few months, as long as I might take vitamin D, with additional cal cium and phosphorus. A pleas ant, simple way to do this .is described in the Calcium mono graph. 5. I would eat not less than three ounces of wheat germ meal every day.

I well advanced that It la already said Under-Secretary of the Interior Alvln Wlrta will ba moved up a rung If Ickes Is transferred to the war de partment. At any rata It, la clear that whatever change, tha president manea, they are almoat certain to be for tha batter. Dlscuaslon of these cabinet changee la always closed with tha surmise that If they are made at all, they will be mada "before the convention." And thla, unfortunately. Is only an other sign of tha continuing omni presence of politics In the Washing ton atmosphere. If any proof were needed that politics have not yet been forgotten. It waa to ba found In tha president speech on Sunday night. Even to the president's moat faithful admlr era within the administration Itself, the speech was a bitter disappoint ment. Many of tha detaila of the presentation of the national defense ;"""" sirangeiy prw.mec, an ex tremely dark picture. For example, tha prealdent apoke of "1.700 modern anti-aircraft" gun aa though tha existing anti-aircraft guns were modern and aa though 1.700 would be enoueh. Actually all i but ont of tn( ng guni tn of ,n. 7S millimeter type whoae range tri, r ,rnce hu proved too short by around 5.000 feet, and al though soma of the better 00 milli meter guns ar on order, the army needs nearly 10 times 1.700 for ade quate national defense. There were other aspect of th speech, such aa the recrimination and th absence of any rallying cry to national unity, which were dla couragtng. But from a practical standpoint, the discussion of the state of our defensra was the worst feature. Tha president waa quite accurate In his picture of th great defense Improvements already accom plUhed bv hie administration. He omitted to say, however, that even with these Improvement we are still In a very poor way. There wa -me hop In his promise to ask for addi tions! defense appropriations, above the present Insufficient requests, tf the European sttustlon disintegrates Into final tragedy.

C Spl.V Building expressive, friendly voices for those who build na tional policies, is the work of Mrs. Elisabeth Ferguson von Hesse, who is, as you know, Mrs. Roosevelt's rerch teacher. Many, I might say most, of her pupils are men and women sitting in the seats of the mighty, or they are adminis trators of programs evolved by the Powers-That-Be. Don't stop me if you've heard men men tion before the wide interest in platform speech and appearance developed by women during the last 20 years. The enthusiasm shown by your local clubs and public speaking classes but duplicates the national picture. A stimulating interview with Mrs. von Hesse revealed that her training is conducted upon a broad basis a philosophy of "released personality" through "effective speech"! .She is un doubtedly the highest priced teacher of speech in the nation. Upon investigation, however, it seems certain that the suc cess she Inspires and assists her pnpils to achieve constitutes an adequate return for the invest ment! First, if you insist, in prosaic dollars and cent s through promotions, better posi tions, or professional advance ment; and, likewise in the field of complete living, by teaching consciousness of one's own power and the technique of how to use it. The course of study includes technical pro ficiency in control of voice and body. "Wide breathing," in sists this remarkable woman, will provide constant power for nature's "pipe organ," upon which the speaking voice can be taught to produce melodious music on a many-toned scale. Mrs. von Hesse is the only person I know who can match the First Lady's vitality and activity. She lectures, teaches large classes and private pupils, acts as consultant to many prominent people and finds time to write books. Her new book, "So To Speak," will be released by F. A. Stokes In September. Mrs. Roosevelt has written a comment on this book to be printed on the Jacket. ... JlJlRS.
