NYE WOULD DRAFT WEALTH, PROPERTY: DURING WAR TIMES Advocates Cash and Carry Policy for Countries Seek- ing Supplies Here Spokane, Wash., Dec. 8—(7)—Sen. Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota called Tuesday for @ constitutional amend- ment to permit the “drafting of dol- lars and property as well as of men in time of war.” ‘The chairman of the senate muni- tions investigation committee, in a club address Monday night, denounced the armament race of nations as “a gigantic racket” and a “hellish busi- ness.” He advocated a “cash and carry” Policy for warring nations who come to the United States for provisions, and proposed a neutrality policy to prevent the sale of munitions or arms to_belligerents, He proposed also that the power to declare war, except in case of attack, be submitted to a popular referendum, “We are going to stay out of other peoples’ wars only as we prepare to keep out of these wars,” Senator Nye declared. He expressed the opinion there was &@ strong probability of the United States being drawn into any general conflict which might flare up from the Spanish situation.

Editor, Tribune: Three years have passed since my accident in Bismarck while crossing the street at Broadway on Fourth street at 5 p. m., Dec, 2, 1933, which sent me to a local hospital for 132 days with both legs and one arm broken—and no sign as yet of a_stop and go sign in our Capital City. I sincerely hope that no pedestrian will be as unfortunate as I was to have to spend two Christmas days in ® hospital such as I had to because of the accident here at Bismarck while crossing the street, M, R. D. A PROTEST . Wilton, N. Dek., Nov. 30, 1936. Editor, Tribune: Soon liquor will be sold as @ legal commodity and it appears there is no protest. A newspaper editorial in the days when the issue was brought up time after time by the wet forces said that they wished that it could be set- tled and now see by the newspaper that it is settled. How does this newspaper know that it is settled? Let us watch and see who does the settling. I say it is most unholily unsettled and I do wish to be aligned with the forces of protest. In ‘the physical there is the stern hand of protest which will mete out its settlement and cannot be over- come. We will not enumerate, but pick up a physiology and read over the chepters on alcohol and the human body. Will it do any good to say these things are not s0; to try to beat by wit, or by fair means or foul, these facts? Is there anyone of the human tace who will stand up as a cham- pion and challenge to fight these things? Let us imagine such a battle —and who would win? In the case of automobile traffic. Who has the more acute sensibility, the driver of equal ability who has been drinking and one who has not. Suppose the breath of the filling sta- tion man, the garage man, the grocer, the locomotive engineer, the elevator man, and the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker spoke of liquor? ‘Wouldn't you feel that you'd have to He ath ‘Defense measures dating to medieval days are combined with modern scientific ones to make ime pregnable the $600,000 depository at Fort Knox, Ky., where the $10,000,000,000 gold hoard of the U.S. will be stowed in 1937 for safekeeping.
