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,

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."
Well, judging the future by the past that obscurity
can be speedily dissolved,
They WON'T be!
NO this is campaign year. Perhaps we are unduly
cynical regarding the fortitude of the present ad
ministration regarding a pay-as-you-go program, but
we would watrer a new baby bond against 25 years'
accumulation of worthless
added tax burden will 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.

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 !

To You
From
Washington
by
Ethelyn Evans
Washington, D. 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.
