But Secretary Assails Wolf
Cry Before Dictatorship
Really Threatens.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 4—Harold L.
Ickes, Secretary of the Interior,
sounded a warning that “Fascism—
arrogant, devoid of conscience and
knowing no mercy for man, woman
or child—is on the march.”
Speaking at a dinner last night
In commemoration of the 60th anni
versary of the founding the Jewish
Daily Courier, the Secretary said
“Fascism is the deadly and insidious
foe that we must prepare to combat
without loss of time."
“Let us make no mistake," he said.
"Totalitarianism is a real threat to
cur institutions. More and more peo
ple are coming to recognize the danger
even to America of this ruthless po
litical monster that hunts by day and
prowls by night.
“They are coming to realize that
unless we are luckier than we are
likely to be, our concern for the
safety of our democratic institutions
will increase rather than diminish."
No Danger at Moment, He Says.
The Secretary asserted that “those
tvho cry out in tones of simulated
anguish that at this moment in the
United States there is an existing dic
tatorship are doing a distinct dis
acrvice to their country.”
“There is danger,” he said, “in
crying wolf too often or at the wrong
time. There is danger in creating
fears of dictatorship w-hen there is no
dictatorship. If the brave efforts
of a great Democratic leader to im
prove conditions * * * are con
tinually balked by false cries of dic
tatorship there is the danger that our
people may come to feel that eco
nomic security can be had only
through a dictatorship.”
Continuing, the Secretary said:
“We do need to guard against
Fascism, as does every democratic
country that is left in the world. But
to shout dictatorship when none ex
ists is only to cause confusion. It
plays into the hands of the enemy.
It detracts attention from the danger
that threatens. It weakens our re
sistance."
Earle and Knox Speak.
Denouncing “tyranny” and "primi
tive barbarism,” Gov. George H.
Earle of Pennsylvania told the Chi
cago division of the American Jewish
Congress that there was no essential
difference between Communism and
Fascism.
"Both are ironclad dictatorships.”
he said. "Both suppress free speech
and the freedom of religious worship.
Both have blood purges. Both substi
tute espionage for liberty. Both make
a mockery- of individual liberty.”
Gov. Earle, who was Minister to
Austria before he was elected Gover
nor of Pennsylvania in 1934, addressed
the congress yesterday. Another
speaker was Col. Frank Knox. Chi
cago publisher and Republican vice
presidential candidate in 1936.
Col. Knox described dictatorship as
“a passing phase, the most imper
manent government in the world, pro
viting no machinery for its perpetua
tion.”
PENNSYLVANIA LIMITS
PICK-UP OF FREIGHT
Collection and Delivery Service of
Less Than Carload Dots
Banned in Stats.
■r the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG, Pa.. April 4.—The
Pennsylvania Public Utility Commis
sion today ordered Railway Express
Agency, Inc., to discontinue collection
and delivery service of less than car
load freight shipments within the
State, ruling such service "common
carriage.''
In its decision, the commission dif
fered from a finding of the Interstate
Commerce Commission that such
pack-up and delivery service by a mo
tor carrier for a railroad Is contract
carriage.
The Pennsylvania commission point
out that its order concerned only the
legality of the service, not the neces
sity, and Indicated It would be nec
essary for Railway Express to obtain
commission approval before providing
local trucking service.
Fyfe Chest Forum Speaker.
Charles M. Fyfe, director of the
Boys’ Club of Washington, will address

at a luncheon-meeting tomorrow at

Indian Bureau
Nails Vanishing
American Idea
The "vanishing American" Is a
myth, officials of the Indian Bureau
said yesterday.
The Indian, victim of years of con
quest and pestilence, is reappearing
on the American scene with startling
rapidity.
Bureau officials even expressed con
cern because the increase of the na
tive Americans was not accompanied
by a corresponding increase in their
land and resources.
Commissioner John Collier esti
mated that the present Indian popu
lation of the United States was 337,
366, compared with .266,0000 at the
turn of the century and 846,000 when
the white man first came to this coun
try.
The Indian had the advantage of
a high birth rate to offset a high
death rate during the years of pesti
lence and fighting that followed the
White "invasion” of this continent.
Mr. Collier said the Indian death
rate still was high—13.7 per cent per
1,000 of population—but that it was
dropping slowiy because of improved
living conditions. The birth rate
223 per cent per thousand—remains
among the highest of any population
group in the country,

Three Months of 1936 Largest
Since 1933.

Foreigners withdrew $644,143,000 of
deposits from United States banks in
the last three months of 1937, Treasury
figures showed today.
This was the largest departure of 1
capital from the United States since
the bank panic of 1933.

that much of this money since has
returned here in flight from European
war scares.
Although foreign bank deposits de
clined in the last 1937 quarter, there
was an increase of $126,845,000 in
foreign holdings of American securi
ties. Foreign brokerage balances in
this .country also increased $15,678,
000.
For 1937. as a whole, foreign de
posits here increased $255,594,000,
brokerage balances increased $34.
687,000 and foreign holdings of Ameri
can securities $511,634,000.

block of Eighth street S.E. was re
ported recovering in Sibley Hospital
today from a brain concussion and
multiple bruises, which police said he
received in a fight in a Connecticut
avenue apartment Saturday.
Police said Mr. Murray declined to
discuss the fight when first admitted
to the hospital. His wife said he told
her he had been hurt while at work,
but superiors at the company where
he is employed as a crane engineer
said he was not injured while on duty.
Two men, suspected as Mr. Murray’s
assailants, were held at the eighth
precinct for investigation.
MINISTER HELD

ored. one of 23 persons arrested over
the week end by the police ‘ pick-up"
squaa, was held today on charges of
tampering with the United States

Police accused the colored minister
of forging an indorsement to a check
taken from the mails illegally. Of

was delivered to his home.
The 22 other colored suspects were
being held for investigation. Police
said many of the prisoners had crim
inal records.
FIREMAN MADE EXPERT
IN SAVING TREED CATS
J. C. Arnold of No. 5 Company
Called Out Twice to
Rescue Felines.
Although he modestly denied today
that he Is a specialist at rescuing
treed cats, Fireman J. C. Arnold of
Engine Co. No. 5 learned last night
that he has a way with the felines.
Fireman Arnold's first test came
early in the evening at 1838 Sixteenth
street N.W., where it was reported a
cat had been up a tree for two days
and refused to acced^ to the rescue
attempts of passersby. The fireman
mounted a 40-foot ladder, murmuring
sweet nothings at the cat the while.
The animal leaped into his arms and
was cairied to safety.
No sooner had the fireman reported
success than he was sent on another
“treed cat’’ case at 2615 Brentwood
road N E. This time the rescue was
made by climbing the roof of the
house and shaking a branch on which
the cat was perched.

TO HELP FIND JOBS
73% of 13,500 Studied in
Survey Also Want Wage
and Hour Law.
The youth of the country think the
Federal Government should help them
And jobs, It was indicated in a report
made public today by the American
Youth Commission.
Based on a “youth sample” compris
ing 13,528 young people between the
ages of 16 and 24, the commission’s
report shows that youth is generally
discouraged by its inability to And
Jobs and dissatiAed with the work it
is doing.
Seventy-three per cent of those in
terviewed, all residents of Maryland,
but selected by the commission as
representative of the 20,000.000 young
people in the country, felt that the
Government should do something
about wages and hours in addition to
providing them with Jobs in times Of
unemployment.
Lack of education, and education
that is not adapted to their needs
were thought by a number of those
interviewed by the commission to be
the cause of their low-pay occupations.
Although 57 per cent thought eco
nomic security was youth’s most press
ing problem, 11 per cent thought
youth’s conduct or morals the most
important, 11 per cent voted for edu
cation, 7 per cent thought the youth
problem was centered in the home,
and 5 per cent believed the recreational
problem dominant.
Although the commission has not
yet reached a point where it can sug
gest a youth program, Howard M. Bell,
supervisor of the survey and author of
the report, "Youths Tell Their Story,”
which will be published in May, sug
gested several approaches to the solu
tion of the youth problem in summing
up the survey.
His suggestions include Improvement
of the employment opportunities for
youth, creation of educational oppor
tunities for youth prematurely forced
out of school and "an awakening on
the part of communities to the social
value of healthful and satisfying recre
ation for young people.”
