Far-Reaching Steps To Check Despotism Seen by Lord Lothian British Ambassador Apparently Sees Big Post-War Role for U. S. (Partial text-on Page A-9.) By GARNETT D. HORNER. A Briiish suggestion that “nations which believe in freedom may well have to take more far-reaching steps than any of us yet realize” to end the threat of “ruthless” world despotism stirred new specu- lation today about allied war aims and this country's future role in world affairs. The British Ambassador, Lord Lothian, made the suggestion in a speech to the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce last night, apparently referring to post-war steps in which the United States might take part to build a stable basis for lasting peace. His address, the text of which was made available here by the British Embassy, was an exposition of the allied side in the present war against Germany and of his views of the effects of the war on this country He said a German victory would Jeopardize the security behind the Monroe Doctrine by robbing it of the support of British naval power and would be fatal to “free civili- zation itself” by clearing the way for totalitarian extinction of human liberties and national rights in most of the world. An allied victory, he contended would mean that “the foundations will have been laid for the kind of free and liberal world in which THE EVENING LITTLE FALLS, N.

S. Intervention. | He avoided any mention of the possibility of direct United States | intervention in the war, but did | say he believed Americans “are op- posed to a victory for dictatorship,” and asserted, in discussing im- portance of the “diplomatic front,” that “a new friend may mean a victory, without a battle for either side.” He appealed for leniency in the American attitude toward allied blockade measures, mail censorship and import restrictions. Declaring the allies are against a &ongress Members [ Get Too Little Pay, Writer Declares Deserve Sympathy as Well as Pensions, St. Clair Says “patched up” peace now because it | would be no more than a truce and | “only play into the hands of de- | potism,” the Ambassador said it | probably would take three years for the allies to mobilize their “over- | whelming mass of offensive power” and win a clean-cut victory over| Germany. Although not mentioning Japan, Russia and Italy by name, he linked them with Germany in citing Man- | churia, Abyssinia, Albania, Fin-| land, China, Czecho-Slovakia, Po- land, Denmark and Norway as vic- tims of aggression by “military dic- tatorships.” “Whose turn will it be tomorrow?” he asked. “It is quite certain that | the process will not stop until it is resisted by superior force. | Fight Against Dark Age. “On a long view, therefore, what | the allies feel that they are fighting | for today is to prevent the exten- sion of this new ruthless imperialist system, first over Europe and later elsewhere, because its victory would be fatal not only to their own free- | dom and existence, but to free civil- {zation itself. It would begin a new | Dark Age.” He defined the immediate allied aim as either to “knock out the Nazi power” or to ‘“convince the German people that the road to freedom and prosperity for them- selves also is substitution for the Nazi regime of a government whose main purpose is not aggression and in whose word the rest of the world can trust.” | Going beyond this immediate aim | in suggesting the possibility of sur- prisingly far-reaching steps by na- tions which believe in freedom be- fore their objective of a free world | “is made secure” he declared: | “The real remedy for the present tragedy is not mere victory in the | war but wiser thinking and better organization, both political and eco- nomic, among ourselves”—that is, among the nations supporting prin- ciples of freedom and ‘“decency in the conduct of international affairs.” Lord Lothian blamed the break- down of the peace settlement after the last World War on failure of the democracies to achieve sufficient unity and freedom for trade to maintain effectively the principle of national freedom in the face of totalitarian aggression, implying that when peace comes again it should be supported by much stronger international unity than that provided by the League of Nations. League “Gallant Attempt.” He said the League was a “gal-| lant attempt” to supply necessary unity and order in 1918, but that it failed for a variety of reasons, and “very likely the integration of the world, when it comes, will have to be on quite different lines.” The Ambassador expressed doubt that the end of this war “will see another great peace conference like the last,” asserting “the basic con- ditions of the post-war world will be settled by the terms of the armistice, by the fact of where the preponder- ant power will lie at the time when the cease fire sounds.” “Peace comes only from superior power behind law,” he continued. “We believed (in 1919) that peace would come from freedom carried to the point of international anarchy and from disarmament. It did not and it cannot * * *. The dictators saw their opportunity, created power ior themselves and began to remake he world in their own image. “What matters more than any- thing else is that at the end of this war the superiority of power should rest unmistakable in the hands * * * of the free peoples so that it will be they and not the totalitar- {ans who will determine the future ” Lord Lothian recognized in be- ginning his address that he might be “accused of propaganda,” but| said he felt he was performing “an essential function in the inter- national relations of democracies” by “telling you the real facts about the way my countrymen think.” Fight for Sea Power. In discussing implications of the war for the United States, he said control of the seas was a major German objective, which would “profoundly affect the security be- hind the Monroe Doctrine.” He described British control of the exits from Europe to the At- | tion as well as pensions in their old Members of Congress work hard for too little pay. They deserve the sympathy and good will of the Na- age. They are just as able on the whole as the voters who send them to Washington. Thus spoke Labert St. Clair, ‘Washington writer, who has known members of Congress for 25 years, in a talk today before the League of American Pen Women at the Wil- lard Hotel. “Twitting Congress about its al- leged laziness and making it a target for similar uncomplimentary jokes is a long established American prac- tice,” Mr. St. Clair said. “Person- ally I never believed it either I\mnyv or justified. | “On the whole I admire Repre- sentatives and Senators very much for the tremendous amount of work lantic through the North Sea, the English Channel, past Gibraltar and past the Cape of Good Hope as e they conscientiously do for relatively small compensation and never tire of seeing them in action. “It is a commonplace to say that most Congressmen are overpaid. I think the majority are underpaid. A congressional salary of $10,000 a year may seem large, especially to persons in small towns and rural sections, but it is entirely inade- quate. By the time a Congressman has paid his election expenses back home, his living expenses in Wash- ington, contributed to every last thing in his district that mortal mind can conceive of and feed the visiting constituents who drop in, hungry as gophers, day after day,| if he is not bankrupt it is because | he has a large independent income | outside his salary. And few have | this. “Not only do I think the salaries | of both Senators and Representa- tives should be raised to from $15,000 to $20,000 a year, but also that for- mer members of, Congress should be pensioned upon retirement propor- tionate to their years of service, be- | ginning, say, with a minimum serv- ice of six years. Nothing is more tragic than an old and broke Con- gressman, who has been turned out by his comstituents after long service, trying to earn a living. His business at home, if he ever had one, is gone, and, usually, he is too old to make a fresh start in a new location.

Laughlin of 1630 Crescent place N.W., according to an Asso- ciated Press dispatch from New York yesterday. Mrs. Laughlin, wife of the former Ambassador to Spain, receives, with two other children of Mr. Iselin, a legacy of $25000, the income from a trust fund of $100,000 and a life estate in one-third of the residue. | The other children are Ernest and Louise Marie Iselin, both of New York. Their father died January 29, 1935. The sum of the net estate was revealed in a tax appraisal filed in New York. “the first line of defense of the Monroe Doctrine,” pointing out that the problem of defending security of this hemisphere would be “trans- formed” if the principal naval power in Europe was hostile to it. He said Great Britain and the United States now share sea power. the British Navy predominant in the Atlantic and the American in the Pacific. American naval experts already have recognized that pos- sible defeat of the British Navy might make it necessary for this country to build up & “two ocean”’ navy for adequate national defense. In expressing hope that Ameri- cans would “take a lenient view” of interferences with normal rights through allied blockade measures, Lord Lothian emphasized that such measures as examination of mails to and from Europe are “s vital part of our economic warfare.” A \ Two victims of the wreck of the 16-car express as they were taken away in baskets.

John F. Mulhall, 89, of San An- tonio, told a story supported by wit- nesses which satisfied Surrogate James A. Foley yesterday on these points: That Mr. Mulhall is the former husband of Mrs. SBusan J. Mulhall of New York and the father of the late Mrs. Isabel McHie, who died April 27, 1939, leaving the residue of | her estate to the Seeing Eye Insti-| tution for training dogs to lead the blind. Mr. Mulhall’s eccentric daughter once remarked, “The more I see of humans the more I think of dogs.” In a codicil to her will she said: “I want it distinctly understood that any person claiming to be my father is an imposter.” Mrs. Mulhall acknowledged in court that she had been married, some 60 years ago, to a John F. Mul- | hall in St. Louis and that a daughter had been born to them about a year later. But she snubbed the aged man as they emerged from the courtroom and refused to shake hands with him. Testimony developed that Mr. Mul- hall had left his wife shortly after the daughter’s birth and gone to Texas to look after cattle interests of his father. He contended he had tried to persuade his wife to bring the child to Texas but that she re- fused. In later years he prospected in Texas, Alaska and Mexico, Mrs. Mulhall obtained a divorce in 1881. Printi;lg Union € Obbbses Chain Store Tax Bill By the Associated Press. A printing trades union opposed the Patman chain store tax bill yes- terday “in defense of the jobs of our members and the economic welfare of the plants employing them.” The attitude of the union, Inter- national Allied Printing Trades As- sociation (A. P. L.), was expressed to the House Ways and Means Sub- committee by John H. Haggerty, chairman of the board of governors. The subcommittee later adjourned hearings until Monday. Mr. Haggerty said many of the in- ternational's members would lose their jobs if chain stores, which gave them business he estimated at $250,- 000000 a year, were taxed out of business by the Patman bill. In 1937, he said, the chains’ business meant jobs for 34,000 members of the union, For other members, Mr. Haggerty continued, living costs would be in- creased 10 per cent. He said the international was MISS MARIA ORENDORF —Star Staff Photo. \Miss Orendorf Dies In Catholic Home At Age of 100 Prominent Church Leader Active Until lliness Two Weeks Ago Miss Maria Louise Orendorf, | prominent Catholic church leader, died yesterday at the Catholic Home for Aged Ladies, 3043 P street N.W., where she celebrated her 100th | birthday last August Miss Orendorf had been active, | despite her advanced age, until two weeks ago, when she was taken ill. | Friends gave her a birthday party August 24 at the home.

S. by Fearful Foreigners By the Associated Press. Congressional confirmation will be sought for a Treasury ruling that securities held in this country by Danes and Norwegians cannot be transferred without Treasury li- censes. Secretary Morgenthau disclosed yesterday that he had asked Demo- cratic leaders to get quick approval of an emergency act affirming the President’s authority to “freeze” the foreign-held securities. The request was made after some private attorneys expressed doubts about presidential power to “freeze” stocks and bonds owned by Danish and Norwegian citizens. New York circles, Secretary Morgenthau said, also appeared uncertain whether the recent executive order, prohibite ing the removal of Danish and Nor- wegian wealth without Treasury licenses, applied to securities. Order Covers Movable Wealth. In the Treasury's interpretation, Secretary Morgenthau explained, the order covered securities, cash, gold, silver, mortgages and other movable forms of wealth. Meanwhile, it was reported that European citizens, afraid that in- vaders or their own governments would seize their wealth, have cached more than $1,000,000,000 in the United States under the names of other persons. Both the Federal Reserve Board and the Commerce Department at- tested to this hoarding, which rivals even the unprecedented gold stores | of foreign governments here for | safekeeping, currently totaling $1,- 200,000,000.
