iEE?RA.lMNG PLAN SR Need of Equality Conscious- ness Voiced at Juvenile Agencies Session. B the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, September 11.—Revis- fon of the public school system to teach the rich man’s son how to do the poor man’s job was advocated to- day at the opening session of the 33d annual convention of the Na- tional Conference of Juvenile Agen- cies. The change would better society by creating greater respect for the work- ing man among the wealthy class, John R. Cranor, director of vocational training in the Connecticut School for Boys, Meriden, Conn, asserted in making the proposal. Vocational Training. - If the banker's son were to go through a period of vocational train- ing similar to that of the youth who expected to labor all his life, Cranor declared, there would be less friction about such things as social security, wages, and working and living condi- of the Reichswehr's Engineer Corps. The others are in the army now— the army which in accordance with the last decree of Der Fuehrer will be raised to about 1,350,000 men. Everything Is Confidential. What is being manufactured in the factories only few people know. In this authoritarian state everything is confidential—and “confidential” is not a mere word to impress the outsider. Most of the workshops—I should say about 60 per cent of them—are under guard. The workmen are not soldiers, but are under a military re- gime, which forces them to keep their mouths shut to any questions an outsider may put to them. To visit one of these factories is & long process which requires a number of permits; then the visit is “personally” conducted. A modern army requires many more things than the armies of olden days. Industry—practically the whole of industry—and the chemical laboratories have to be drafted when a nation is preparing for war. And Hitler has drafted everybody and everything the general staff has de- manded. Not even in the heydays of Ger- man imperialism have the generals had such a grand and easy time. In the authoritarian state there is no THE EVENING BSTAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1936. questions asked from the floor of the chamber, no testifying before the army or navy committee in executive session and no credits to be asked from politicians. The general staff makes up its mind that it needs so many hundreds of millions. The re- quest is approved by Gen. Fritch, he takes it to Field Marshal von Blom- berg, who in turn takes it to Hitler. Der Fuehrer approves it without even bothering to read the details of the required expenditure and Dr. Schacht has got to find the money—which he does. Nobody outside these people known anything about how costly the German war preparedness is and the people of Germany less than anybody else. Taxes Not Too High. ‘The people don’t know that they are paying for it. The taxes in Ger- many are not as high as in France or even in the United States. The big industrialists are under the impression that they are making money, al- though they know that eventually they will have to give it back in the shape of inheritance taxes or excess profit taxes. But they are happy or pretend to be so, because they are being kept active and busy. And it is better to be busy than to rot in a concentration camp. ‘The middle classes have their in- parliamentary control no indiscreet come tax reduced if they get to work and produce children. Every child brings & reduction in the family's in- come tax. The working classes, receiv- ing wages which just enable them to keep body ‘and soul together, pay no taxes at all. The authoritarian state finances itself by borrowing from banks and from individuals who have been able to save something. The years of inflations have wiped out completely Germany's public debt, and pow the government has started bor- rowing anew. ‘The strict control of the currency prevents any foreign investments. Foreign trade is done exclusively through the government. Germany has to sell abroad $1,500,000,000 worth. of goods in order to cover its needs for raw materials. And the industrialists produce for the government the nec- essary goods to obtain that foreign exchange, But the industrialists don't get it. It goes into the vaults of the Reichsbank, which pays it out im- mediately to countries which do not accept the barter trade. The industri- alist make profits—in marks—and they reinvest that money in govern- ment short-term notes. “The German government’ can borrow within the country about all it needs to finance its war industry” said one of the financial experts of the government.

MARTINSVILLE, Va., September 11.—A Patrick County Circuit Court Jury acquitted the Rev. J. D. Cockran yesterday of a charge of carelessness in connection with setting a forest fire west of Stuart last Spring, but convicted his son, John T. Cockraa, on a similar charge. ‘The son was fined $40 and costs.

Cranor contended the existing edu- eational system built up “false stand- ards of social adjustment.” Pupils, he eaid, were taught to educate them- selves “so they won’t need to work as hard as their fathers did.” Work Organization. “There can be no complete social adjustment without vocational train- ing,” he added. “Society is primarily a work organization. Each individual | must earn his daily bread.” As advantages of & vocational train- ing course in which all students—rich and poor—would be taught to work in shops with tools, Cranor listed: 1. Greater respect for the worker. 2. Development of a desire to work. 3. Impression of the principle that men should be advanced according to their training and ability. 4. Growth of habits and character traits of industry, initiative, perse- yerance, co-operation and helpfulness. $ $ 5..°6 SIZES 1 TO 12 WIDTHS AAAAA TO EE I Large, Sweet Watermelons, 15¢ and 20c SUMMER SQUASH lsucu, BIG SNAP...........I. 5 (Carol Biack or brown suede or kid.

It is no exaggeration to say that the German nation is goose-stepping at the present moment. Men, women, boys and girls walk along the streets 3212 M St. NW. N.E.

Waiters in restau- rants and beer halls click their heels when they say thank you for the com- pulsory tip you pay with your bill. And girls in stores raise their hand in a smart “Heil Hitler"—some say just *Hitler"—when you enter to make the semi-compulsory purchases if you hap- pen to have tourist marks. Tourist marks are the greatest gsacket invented by that extremely clever president of the Reichsbank, Dr. Schacht. You buy them outside Germany at a lower price than if you change foreign currency in Germany. But while you are allowed to bring them into Germany, you are not al- Jowed to take them out of the country again, either in marks or in foreign currencies. And that is logical. There would be no end of speculation if the law were not strictly enforced. But, a8 most tourists in order to be on the safe side buy more marks than they really need, and since you are not allowed to take out of the Reich more than 10 silver marks in German cur- rency, the day before you leave the German territory you are forced to go to shops and purchase all kind of nice but useless things in order to comply with the law. The luxury in- dustry is kept rolling in this manner. Food Growing Scare. ‘The Germans are tightening their belt every day. Food is not scarce, but might become so almost any day; it all depends on the political situa- tion. The governmen! is taking pre- cautions not to be caught unawares. Balaries are small and there is no real legislation concerning working hours when there is question of war Industries. And since almost every in- dustry is engaged in manufacturing something for the army, the navy or the air force, the majority of the workmen have to work long hours. They do not seem to mind. Gasoline is expensive; hence, a large fumber of small cars. Even the well- to-do class uses 4-cylinder 10-horse- power automobiles. Not so the army officers. The government has sup- plied them with enormous Benz and Mercedes cars and you can see them rushing through the streets of Berlin at & break-neck speed, just as old Kaiser Wilhelm used to do. Orly there are so many Kaisers at the present moment that poor traffic cops hardly can keep traffic open for the smartly-dressed officers driven by chauffeurs in equally smart uniforms. ‘There seem to be sentries everywhere: Brown shirt sentries, black shirt sen- tries, Reichswehr sentries and police sentries. The Germans work like ants. The stacks of factories belch smoke day snd night. Those who are not for- tunate enough to be employed in fac- tories are working on roads—mostly strategic roads planned by the gen- eral staff and supervised by officers -_ Change to Geent UTOMATIC OIL HEAT The Garwood Oil Burner is ressonable in price and is & lux- wry in any modest home.
