THE EFFECTIVE PHASE BEGINS In brief review: The parade, while not miles long, was beautiful and solid. Every float was a credit to any parade. There was little commercialism that js there were no blocks of .rs with only a name of a business house signed, or processions of machinery with signs hung on it. They are things which spoil iiarades. The trumpeters which led the line of march formed a novel idea; the bands added a martial air and color, as bands always do. There have been three phases of the defense program since the president called for the building of effective defense in May, 1910. From May until that autumn there was a great scurrying to pass appropriations, to let contracts, to draw plans; everything was on paper. It had to be so. From last autumn through this spring and summer, of providing the there was a period of tooling up tools necessary before production could begin, of building factories from the ground up. Now at last we enter a third phase when production in effective volume is beginning to roll. Now we begin to get the stuff, and from now on the stream of that production must continue to rise in heightening crescendo until the world comes again, as it will some day, to peace. spe-dfcdiz- ed Watch the needle flicker across the face of the arms production gauge! rifles and Now it reads More than 1500 submachine guns are coming off the production lines every day.

This float showed much work and of el Each of these is only a small flick of the needle, but together they show how the defense effort is entering the productive stage. It has been weary strain to wait month after month, plugging ever harder at the job, with so little apparent result. Now the results begin to come. With actual tangible guns, tanks, and planes in sight, it should be easier to redouble the effort that will keep them coming in an increasing stream. In that lies the best hope for the American future. 1 Outstanding floats?

"I'm surprised," shot back tho truculent Chandler, "that a responsible member of the Senate would make such a wholly irresponsible and absurd statement. I don't think a man of your position should be loosely predicting revolution. Such remarks stir up unrest, and there's already too much agitation in the coni' ry." Ill say what I please," screamed Downey, blazing with fury, and Ill have you know that I have the interests of this country at heart as much as you. "You haven't when you make statements like that," retorted Chandler, For a moment the stocky, square-jawe- d Kentuckian and the mophaired Californian glared fighting mad at each other.

The population of the country was a sturdy 52 million. The automobile was a figment in the brain of C. E. Duryea, its inventor. Alexander Graham Bell and his newfangled telephone were still a laughing stock. Congressmen had no secretaries or offices, and the Capitol was lit by gas. But the thing Page likes most to talk about in comparing the" America of today with the era in which he made his debut on Capitol Hill is the change that has come over government finances. "The burning question in Congress when I first went to work," he recalls with a grin, "was what to do with a $250,000,000 surplus in the Treasury. The government was making more money than it knew how to spend, but there was a terrific furore when some Congressmen suggested that the surplus be used for public works. "The revenue of the government then wouldn't amount to a good excise tax now. It was about a year, but that was still too much, as Congress was spending at the rate of only $250,000,000 a year. So it voted to reduce taxes. $300,-000,0- -ME- RRY-GO-ROUND Price Defense Administrator Leon Henderson is planning to go to study of England for a first-han- d after wartime price regulation Congress has enacted his control bill Indicentally. certain Ad ministration chieftains could learn lesson a good from Henderson on how to broach legislation.

Here is a graphic example of how overcrowded Washington is today. When the ornate Justice Department building was completed in 1932, it housed a total of 900 officials and employees, who rattled around in the huge structure like dice in a shaker. Practically everybody, from messengers up, had a private office. Today, the Washington personnel of the Department is over 7,500 and office space is so scarce that many of the corridors are being used for offices.
