That was the observation of G. A. Dahlen, chairman of the annual Open Your Heart campaign, as he an- nounced Tuesday that the organiza- tion’s headquarters this year will be located on the vacant lot at Main ave- nue and Third St. Each year the big charity effort has been able to obtain free space in whatever storeroom happened to be vacant but the pressure of expanding business has taken every available downtown site and this year it was necessary to obtain additional facili- ties, The problem was solved by reach- ing an agreement with the city ministration whereby warming houses, used during the winter at the city’s skating rinks, will be moved to the vacant lot and put in shape for oc- cupancy during the next month by the huge staff of volunteer workers which Dahlen has lined up to take part in the enterprise. College Students Help This includes two stenographers and clerks, volunteers from the Capital Commercial college student body, and the committee from the American Legion auxiliary which will have charge of the storeroom where will be sorted and renovated the huge stock of clothing and other items which Bismarck annually donates. Arrangements wil be made to heat. the buildings, telephones will be in- stalled and the “offices” made ready for use by Wednesday night at the latest. Offers of service as well as of cash and other assistance already are be- ing received, Dahlen said Tuesday, and the work of rounding up the do- nations of all kinds will be in full swing within a day or two. it 2 Makes Use of Hobby Even hobbieware turned into can- tributions te the Christmas cheer ef- fort. This became apparent when Dahlen accepted an offer from W. G. Ellis, business college manager, to re-| pair some of the toys which come to; the Open Your Heart headquarters but which always go out looking like new or at least in good working order. Ellis, a World War veteran, has made a hobby of toy repairing and will devote his spare time during the next few weeks to this work as his contribution to the movement. The bulk of this work will be done by stu- dents in the shops at the high) school under the direction of Roy Neff. Dahlen said ‘Tuesday that persons who are changing their place of resi- dence the first of the month already have called the Open Your.

INCREASE HOPES OF BALANCING BUDGET Secretary Morgenthau Asserts Tax Receipts Are ‘Up to Expectations’ Washington, Dec. 1. — (#) — Sub- stantial revenue increases during the first five months of this fiscal year Tuesday raised administration hopes that the seven-year gap between in- come and outgo may be closed next year. Administration leaders have fore- cast that improving business will boost receipts to the level of expendi- tures if the present tax structure is maintained. There has been no definite state- ment, however, that the budget will be balanced next year. Surveying income from last July 1 through Nov 27, fiscal experts said that continuance of the present up- trend, plus some reduction in relief expenditures, would balance receipts ‘and spending next year. U. 8. WILL NOT JOIN LEAGUE, FDR DECLARES Buenos Aires, Dec. 1—(?)—Preal- dent Roosevelt declared flatly Tuesday at @ press conference there was no- possibility. of United States entering the of Nations.. His statement was made to Argentine newspapermen. Asked whether the Inter-Amer- ican parley might Propose a League of Nations for the western hemisphere, the president sald that was entirely in the hands of the conference. As a second move toward Mr, Roosevelt urged the ‘America! re- publics to “strive even more strongly. than in the pest to prevent the cre- ation of those conditions which rise to war.” Justice Is Required “Lack of social or political justice within the borders of any nation is always cause for concern,” he sald. “Through Democratic processes we can strive to achieve for the Americas the highest possible standard of liv- ing conditions for all our people. “Men and women blessed with Political freedom, willing to work and able to find work, rich enough to maintain their families and to edu- cate their children, contented with their lot in life and on terms of friendship with their neighbors, will defend themselves to the utmost but will never consent to take up arms for a war of conquest.” In this connection, the chief exe- cutive denounced trade barriers, as- serting “it is no accident” that the nations which have erected the high- est are those “which proclaim most loudly that they require war as an in- strument of their policy.” Fears Catastrophe Abroad Picturing war abroad as a “catas- trophe which impends,” he said: “In the determination to live at Receipts for this period totaled $1,- 623,043,000, an increase of $171,981,000 over a year ago. In the forefront of individual tax increases were income levies, which, at $418,598,000, gained 000. Peace among ourselves we in the Americas make it at the same time clear that we stand shoulder to shoulder in our final deliberations that others who, driven by war mad= ness or land hunger might seek to commit acts of aggression against us, will find a hemisphere wholly pre- pared to consult together for our mu- tual safety and for our mutual good.” Contending that “plain people everywhere,” want peace, the chief executive said: Mast Discover Peace “Truly, if the genius of mankind that has invented the weapons of death cannot discover the means of preserving peace, civilization as we know it lives in an evil day.” Actual discussions at the interna- tional. assembly will not begin until Thursday. Questioned at his press conference late Monday, Secretary Morgenthau said March tax receipts would be “very large” and “up to expectations.” This was taken to mean that reven- ues for this year will reach the §5,- 642,760,000 estimate or $1,526,804,000 over last year.
