Government Wages.

The short-sightedness Of the salary
and wage-cutting program of the Fed

them actively, are changing their opin-

chairman, Senator Key Pittman. is at

The explanation is that everything now
happening or projected, as far as the
committee knows, is purely within ex-
ecutlve jurisdiction, making it unneces-
sary for the committee to sit up and
take notice. Senator Pittman, though
chiefly concerned with the fortunes of
silver, is keenly interested in current
gold developments. He took part in the
gold rush to the Klondike in 1897 and
worked as a common miner for two
years. Later he became the first dis
trict attorney in the Nome region and
was leading counsel for miners in their
fight against conspiracy to rob them
of their stakes. Returning to Nevada
in 1901, Pittman had good deal to do
with the development of the Tonopah

President Praised
For Russian Move

To the Editor of The Star:
Now that President Roosevelt has at
last made one wise legislative move, it's
just too bad there are folks ready to
scold him for recognizing Russia. fail
to see how he could well do otherwise,
for in his campaign last year it was
emphasized time and again the need Of
world market for our surplus goods
wasting on our hands due to the Re-
publican high tariff causing retaliatory
foreign markets. We can ill afford to
shut our door to foreign country
aftording such market as Russia. s's
We may well recognize Russia that we
may the better learn her new order at
first hand than by Communistic under
current. AS see it not recognizing Rus
sia is equivalent to admitting she may
have something SO much better than we
have we fear the people would want it.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRACEWELL.

Out our way we welcome back the
squirrels, delightful ornaments OF
streets and lawns.
Where they were for year few per-
sons attempt to explain.
After all, 1t makes little difference.
They are back now, as a trip beneath
the great oaks will show.
Half dozen of them may be seen
racing across the road, one after the
other. much as children at play.
Their great bushy tails wave in the
crisping air of Autumn like plumes, only
at the wrong end.
To the early morning wayfarer these
rodents are a pleasant sight, as they
Scamper with such zeSt up and down
trees, flashing now across the roadbed,
now darting behind trees, to peer out
with their shining little beady eyes.
Few animals possess more vivacity.
This is seen not only in the speed of
the creature, but even more in its nor
NAL attitudes, a compromise between
effrontery, as it would be called in a
human being, and q keen and deter
mined outlook upon life.
Your average squirrel is not only de-
termined TO mind his own business, he
is even more set upon you minding
yours.
He does not care if you watch him, in
fact he rather seems to like 1t, but asks
that your interest become not too per-
sonal.
Advance but a step too near, or stop
near his tree, Immediately he begins to
pour maled1ction upon your suspicious
head
He does not know that you would not
hurt him.
He rather thinks you might, but that
you will be afraid to, after he gets done
telling you few things.
Perhaps no animal except man pos
SeSseS more of the powers of pure vitu-
peration.
See the squirrel there, swearing and
shaking its forepaWs-one would be will
ing to believe that 1t knows what it is
saying, and that it believes you know,
too.
1t is curious sound, rendered into
"crek-crek' by one writer; surely the
coinage puts 1t upon paper as well as it
can be done.
"Crek-crek," CRATES old man squirrel,
as the passer-by pauses to admire him.
His harShnesS, however, is as nothing
compared with what he can do when ne
spies house cat.
This is real enemy. instinct warns
him, not just possibility.
Then he fairly outdoes himself. His
"crek-crek" becomes ominous in its
teeth-gritting.
1t is punctuated by what would
amount to plain fist waving among hu-
man beings
Holding to the bark with his hind
paws, with his head hanging down. and
naturally thrown back, he shakes his
fists" at the cat in a great fury.
This sound and this action are ac-
companied by an intensified glare from
his bright little eyes. He loses no
animal chance to put over what he is
feeling.
Squirrels and their antics are not all
that entertain one who must be out
early. The comparative earliness of the
day, as a matter Of fact, adds to every
thing. If one is in average health.
The air is more entertaining to the
pedestrian, being fresher, as We say, not
only because cooler. but actually so. in
that few vehicles have been along to
stir up the dust and leaves.
Already leaves are being touched with

Recognition Foe Cites
Ideals as Barriers
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
American ideals are so different from
those of Soviet Russia that the DEM
ocratic Government will make a grave
mistake to recognize Russia.
Few realize that the root of Com
munism is not humility, as many think,
but pride. A Communist is one who
hates to serve, to be under any one.
He wants all persons to be on a level
so that he can feel himself, if not
superior to others, at least not inferior
to others He Acknowledges no one or
nothing to be above him except an i'm
personal state.
Though Communists deny God, some
of them acknowledge that Jesus was q
good man. Let these listen to what this
Good Man said: 1.-THE disciple is not
above his master, nor the servant above
his lord" CHARLES HOOPER.

part of the legislators to have Congress
retrace its steps and to restore the pay
of Government employees to the base
figures. message sent by Senator
Pat Harrison of Mississippi, chairman
of the Senate Finance Committee, to
the American Federation of Labor while
it Was in session in Washington de-
clared, too, for restoration Of the
basic pay of the Federal employees.
The answers to its questionnaires re-
ceived by the Federation of Government
Employees have come from members of
Congress representing many sections Of
the country. The answers come from
Democrats and Republicans alike. And
many of them declare unequivocally for
the return to the basic pay of the Gov
ernment employees, with only now and
then a qualifying statement to the effect
that restoration of the full pay should
be made at the earliest practicable
moment.
The sentiment in Congress for Gov
ernment pay cuts grew out Of short
sighted and selfish propaganda, spread
by persons who had been cut in salary
and wage in private industry. They
National Government took lead in the
matter OF pay slasheS II would merely
be signal for further wage and salary
cuts outside of the Government service.
The very cutting OF the Government
salaries and wages made recovery of
private business more difficult. Higher
prices of commodities can be met only
by increased wages; they can exist only
through increased purchasing power of
the consumers. Business can thrive
only when the people are able to con-
sumo the products of farm and factory
through purchase at prices that make
possible employment OF the people them
selves.
If the Government, which is urging
the imitation of wages throughout the
country by private industry, will take
the lead without further delay, declar-
ing for restoration Of the pay of its
own workers, forward step will have
been made of real value to the whole
program. Already there are signs that
the administration Is thinking along
such lines. Budget figures are being
written for the Government depart
ments and agencies on the basis of the
old salaries that existed before the
pay cuts were invoked in the name Of
economy. In the District of Colum-
bia the cost of living is being made
the subject of a special study by the
Bureau of Statistics in the Department
of Labor, particularly with reference to
the pay of the army of Government
workers here.
Ever since the administration
launched its intensive drive through
the N. r. A. to increase employment
and wages it has been at a disadvan-
tage because of its attitude toward its
whole recovery program is at hand.
Its entire success rests on a restora-
tion of the purchasing power of the
people. That obviously can be re-
stored only through more employment
and more pay. 1t is idle to talk of is
suing Government currency in greater
quantities on the theory that more
kinds of money and more money would
increase purchasing power. What is
needed is more work and more wages.

D. c. TITLE FIRM

The Columbia Title Insurance

BY the District Court of Appeals,
The case grew out of transac-
don by the Arms & Drury, Inc,
local real estate firm, in which
= colored real estate broker,
claiming to be an agent for Mrs
Wilhelmina Wunder, sought a
loan for $4,000 and pledged as Sc
curity a forged trust deed on
property owned by Mrs. Wunder,
Ignorant of the fraud, the real
estate firm sent the deed with a
$5,S57 check to the title COM
pany with instructions to dis
burSe the money when it was
shown that Mrs. Wunder's title
was good and the trust was a
first lien on the property.
After payment had been made,
the real estate company learned
Of the forgery and entered suit
against the title company. At
firming a decision of the District
Supreme Court, the Court of Ap-
peals held that both the realty
and title firms were innocent
parties but that blame should
fall upon the real estate firm
which made possible the fraud.
