Tlie farmer boy ALIEN SELF-SOLVIN- G Back in fathers and grandfathers day, the alien problem was a constant source of worry for the kind of people who have to have something like that to worry about. That problem is rapidly solving itself. Very soon there will be so few aliens as not to make any problem at. all. In 1930 there were estimated to be 6,284,613 aliens in the country. Today the estimate is 3,595,338, a decrease of practically 50 per cent in the past 10 years. are At that rate, unless immigration changed, there soon will be no important number of aliens in the country at all. Generally speaking, nobody wants war. Generally speaking, everyone feels the curse of war. Jim and Joe and Ed and Bill the average men in uniforms get no pleasure or out of thrusting their bayonets into other Jims and Joes and Eds and restrictions Bills. The Washington Merry- Go -Round second-generatio- second-generatio- But their children, too often, have been another and less happy story. Bom in this country, they were Americans not by choice but by circumstance. The old culture, the old ways, the old country, were only a tradition and sometimes a faintly ridiculous one. In language, in dress, in tastes, they were of the New World, yet they were somehow set apart from it by the nearness of their alien origin. Instead of kindly help in achieving a solid position, economic and social, in that world, they met ridicule and rebuff. Thty felt alien to both worlds, the Old World left behind, and the New World not yet quite achieved. So the problem, which used to be the alien problem, is now "the American problem. It will be solved by no rigid demand that such people utterly forsake the ancient culture to become synthetic Yankees. It will be solved only by accepting and encouraging their roots in ancient backgrounds as not inconsistent with the highest loyalty to the United States, but as contributing a very definite share in a culture which we may make the richest, most varied, and hence the highest in the world. second-generatio- n Answer to Previous HORIZONTAL 1 Pictured Punle ruminant beast. 5 Fine 16 To discover. 18 Grandly. breed of this animat. 20 Writing tool. 10 Proverb. 11 22 Enthusiasm.

PROBLEM Thats good enough as far as it goes. But the world is arranged in this perverse fashion: as soon as one problem is solved, another pops up to take its place. That is the case in regard to aliens. Though the number of actual aliens is falling rapidly, the problem of the n American is just as difficult and no less n Americans, important. In many cases born here of immigrant parents, are even worse adjusted to American life than the old folks. What happens in many cases is this, the immigrant parents came to this country as their choice. They wanted freedom or opportunity, or both. They were prepared to be politically loyal to the new country, and they were. But they remained culturally attached to the old country and the old ways. In dress, in language, in tastes, in cultural interests, they remained of the old country, with roots too deep for change. parents prior to her departure for Hawaii, where Mr. Bell will be employed.

She is visiting her By DREW PEARSON and ROBERT S. ALLEN The army and WASHINGTON navy have been emphasizing that they have dropped the cost-plu- s contracts which caused such scandalous repercussions during the last war. and their contracts are negotiating on the basis of cost plus a fixed fee. However, any future congressional investigation that looks into these contracts is going to discover a very interesting fact, namely that in many cases the army and navy are paying the social security taxes, plus state and local taxes for the firms which fill national defense contracts. In other words, one part of the United States government turns around and pays taxes to another part of the government on behalf of a private firm. A typical "negotiated contract (1. e., one awarded without competitive bidding) was the one given Kaufman Construction Co., and the J. F,. Brenneman Co., for the building of an additional pier at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. The total contract figure was around $800,000, with the contractors getting a fixed fee of $36,000 for doing the job. This contract contains a clause exempting the contractor from items. certain among paying which are the following: of The net amount any U. S. tuxes and any sodutl security stute or local tatfes, fees, or which the contractors churges, may be required, on account o( this contract, to puy on or for any plunt, equipment, piocess, organization, materials, or personnel under any applicable valid luw issued by comor regulations petent authority. Army and navy claim they have precedent for this in World War contracts which were reaffirmed in the National Defense Act of 1920. This the law empowers army and navy, in time of emergency or war, to make such contracts. In fact, under the interpreta tion cluimed by some army-nav- y officials the government could even pay income taxes. Whether this has been allowed in any contracts is unknown, but it is an open secret that certain contractors have asked for it.

And although there is something like' love of country and ultimate freedom and other ideals given as reasons, down in their hearts, they cant find reasons why they should be bombing children and factories and gasoline supply trains. The masses dig down into their pockets and dish out tax monies. More and increasingly more. Every time a cannon belches smoke, even in practice, there are five thousand or ten thousand dollars gone. Preparedness in America runs into the billions. Actual war in England runs into the billions. War for Germany costs billions. Taxes are becoming millstones around the necks of nations and men. Taxes for war. Nobody erica out againat the taxes, because we must defend ourselves. But we all lament hav-in- g to donate so heavily to something that will, in the end, cut our throats. It's like buying the boards from which will be constructed a scaffold, knowing that we will be called upon to awing , from that scaffold. Why this glaring contradiction? Why must the world be gutted with war when most everyone hates it? Why cant the advances of science be used for life instead of for death, the billions be used for social progression instead of for industrial and human destruction?
