P.E.0. Conclave Hears Likelihood of U. . Joining in War .Robert Lincoln O'Brien Speaks at Session of Chapters in D. C. With the warning that within six months “something” is likely to pro- Ject thi~ country into the European war, Robert Lincoln O'Brien, tfor- mer chairman of the United States Tariff Commission, predicted last night~that the issue in the coming presidential campaign “will be re- lated to this great crisis in human history.” Addressing the fifth annual State convention of the District of Co- lumbia P. E. O. Sisterhood at the Washington Hotel, Mr. O'Brien ~ called attention to the attitude of the American people at the time of President Wilson’s election in 1916 and cautioned against an atti- tude of complacency because “we are outside the zone of war.” Mr. Wilson, he said, was elected on the slogan “He kept us out of war.” Mr. O'Brien declared subse- quent events proved that the world is constantly underestimating the threat of war and pointed to “Hit- ler’s strides toward success.” Armed Force Below Poland’s. Mr. O'Brien said he had recently talked with high ranking Army officers, who admitted the number of trained soldiers in the United States plus the members of the Na- tional Guard made up an army only one-fourth the size of Po- land’s at the time of the German invasion. ‘“National defense,” he added, “is a serious problem.” He declared a “curious symmetry” in politics indicated a swing to the “political right” in the November election and predicted that both party platforms would be based not upon political issues, but upon a . “feeling out of the war temper in the United States.” Although the predominant senti- ment at present is against partici- pation in the war in any way, Mr. O'Brien said, by the time of the party conventions both Democrats and Republicans will be campaign- ing on a “billions for defense” basis. Several hundred guests from the 17 P. E. O. chapters earlier had heard members of the sisterhood report on its progress during the | year. Principal speakers were Mrs. Veda M. Jones, Supreme Chapter, and Mrs. Winona E. Reeves, editor of the P. E. O. Record. Sees Revival of Faith. Mrs. Jones, who talked on “Far Horizons,” called attention to the world-wide “return to the old vir- tues” as evidence of a universal revival of faith. She decried that “prejudices and misunderstandings -which are cutting off the horizons today” and declared the future of the world “depends upon the con- tinued united effort of all of us.” Mrs. Reeves mentioned ificidents from the lives of great men. Miss Jane Anderson of Chapter J was toastmistress for the affair and gave the address of welcome. Mrs. « Beth Ferguson voiced the response. Mrs. Vera Ross of Chapter I enter- tained the gathering with songs. Chapters I and J were the hostess groups. Baltimore Ship Line To Mark Centenary By the Associated Press.

Anfipathy Her Belief in Stalin Proves as Deep-Rooted As Religious Faith By WILLIAM L. WHITE. S. 8. SATURNIA (in the Mediter- ranean)—The very pretty_blond: Russian girl who has worked for a year at the Soviet pavilion in the New York World’s Fair and is now going back to Moscow, stared out over the sea for a minute before answering the question about how she liked the picture “Ninotchka,” in which Garbo, as the beautiful girl Kommissar, entrusted with a mission abroad, falls in love with a capitalist and with capitalism and does not come back. “It was very good,” she finally said slowly with a smile; “very well done, and most of it I liked very much. I think people in Russia would enjoy it, too. But at some of it they would laugh very hard— those parts which show how people live in Russfa—so many in one room, and spies walking back and forth.” a o “Because that part was silly,” she said. “We'don't live like that at all. Everyone would laugh at it. But STAR, .WASHINGTON, .D. C.,, WEDNESDAY, - MAY §, 1940. on the whole the picture was very “Did you like America?” “Oh, very much. You know there is much Russian spoken in New York—more than anyone would dream of. I had no trouble at all.” “What quéstions did they most frequnetly ask at the World's Fair?” “Oh, every sort of question.. But the most frequent question was, ‘Wasn’t it all just propaganda?’ Some people seemed to be very sus- picious of that. What did you think of our pavilion?” “Liked it very much,” I said slowly. “Your industrial projects— dams and steel plants and irrigation projects—were very well presented and perfectly legitimate.” “But there was something you didn’t like?” “I thought it was one of the best at the fair.” “But you didn't like something?” “I couldn't help noticing some- thing. When we had our American exhibit at the Paris fair in 1937, of course Roosevelt approved the plans. But there wasn't a single picture or statue or photograph of him in the ‘whole thing.” “Well?” said vhe Russian girl. “We’ Americans think that was good taste. And I wmoticed that in the Italian building there were no pictures of Mussolini, even though he approved the designs. We Ameri- :::?, thought that was zlnod taste, Just a Different Viewpoint. “But the Russian people would want Stalin in our pavilion! In Russia everybody loves Stalin! He’s like Washington and Lincoln.” And here I looked at her hard, Lawrence FLOOR AN PORCH ENAMEL ¢ Y2 pint — reg. 55¢; % AN EXTRA % PINT (Limit 1 eombination to a customer) 1e °56e doors. or outdoors.
