If there is ever a competition

the award would in all probable

runs from the Piazza Venezia,
which is MuSsolini's Palazzo

"Hamel Town in Brunswick
by famous Hanover city" is set
ting up an ornamental clock in
the tower of the Hochzeithaus
which, in English, is the Wed
ding House. The clock will be
a marvel of craftsmanship with
carved figures and ingenious
mechanical tricks, worthy
decoration for the interesting
garbled structure which it will
grace.
But our story is not about
clocks and buildings. Rather it
is about what the clock will
commemorate, namely the
659th anniversary of the
Legend of the Pied Piper. For
it was in the year 1884 that
this wandering fellow with a
gypsy coat of red and yellow"
piped the children from Hame-
lin to Koppelberg Hill, which
opened to receive them and then
closed upon them, not a single
one to be seen again.

Such is the story which his
tory rejects as folklore and
which will live on, a joy forever,
as told by Robert Browning. It

them of a fairyland and bidding
them hasten to it. They stopped
play, they stopped fighting,
they stopped working and they
followed, down the road, out Of

say it not in the streets Of
Hamelin, today, a quaint old
city of $4,000 where the Weser
and the Hamel meet, not far
from the North Sea.
There they will show you the
narrow street of the Pied Piper
on which, by law, not a pipe
may tweedle or a drum roll.
You may see too, the House of
the Rat Catcher, one of the
finest examples of Renaissance
architecture. My history tells
me that the whole thing is leg
endary, a tale which undoubt-
edly grew out of the tragic Cru

sands of little ones died in the
foolhardy attempt to lead them
to the Holy Land to fight the
Turk.
Strange Tribe
And yet against history. I
have the testimony o. DR.. Wal
ter Starkie, given to me here
in New York only recently,
that he believes the story of the
Pied Piper and that he has
located the descendants of the
children of Hamelin, off in
Pennsylvania, where Browning's
poem says they eventually
turned up. The doctor "a
gentleman and a scholar with
a list of university degrees as
long as your arm, and a title
from the King of Spain-told
me of coming across a flaxen
haired, blue eyed tribe in a re-
mote part of Hungary. whose
presence there, among the dark
skinned gypsies, could be ex-
planned only by their traditions.
Wandering through these
Romany lands as a vagabond
violinist, DR.. Starkie studied
their people and listened to
their stories by the camp fires
of the tribes. He will tell you
what they told him, and give
him a pipeful Of time and
he will come pretty near
convincing one: THAT in
Pennsylvania there's a tribe
OF alien people who ascribe,
The outlandish ways and dress.
On which their neighbors lay
such stress,
To their fathers and mothers
haveng arisen.
Out Of some Subterranean prison,
Into which they were trepanned,
Long time ago in a mighty band,
Out Of Hamelin town in Bruins
wick land,
But how or why, they don't

church Of the Name Of Mary.
Then further along is the Capitol
with a museum and the lovely
Capitoline gardens. Then come
the Arch of Septimius Severus
and the Forum of Caesar. All
these relics of ancient Rome
make it easy to reconstruct in
ones mind the daily life of the
city, and the people as they went
along tEc Imperial Way.
Next to Caesars Forum is the
famed Roman Forum with the
recently restored Curia. Every
arch, every pillar, every slab
Of marble tells it's own mute yet
eloquent story Of the glory OF
ancient Rome. Through some OF
the arches one can discern
glimpSes Of the picturesque Far"

Built on the site Of the ancient
temples of Venus and Rome Is
the gemlike church Of Santa
Francesca Romano with its char

Then comes the Colosseum and

enforcement Of our :r1n'igr0-
tion lows and aid the uiien in
his adjustment to American
life. 1t should cooperate With
educational authorities TO pro-
mote more adequate educo-
tional opportunities"
Two questions are presented
by this recommendation: First,
whether the task of educating
these aliens and helping them
to catch step with their fellow
citizens is not primarily the
work of the State rather than
of the Federal Government.
And, second, whether such edu-
cational assistance as the States
require in this field cannot be
better furnished by the Federal
Office of Education, until that
agency is expanded into a De-
partment of Education headed
by a Secretary of Education
with a seat in the Cabinet of
the President.
For many years, the Common
wealth of Massachusetts, main
tanned a most efficient depart.
ment to help it's alien residents
prepare themselves for citizen
ship. This agency was headed
by Mrs. Pauline Revere Thayer,
a direct descendant Of the
patriot Paul Revere. She gave
her services as the director of
this splendid work.
Protection for Alien
AS administered by Mrs.
Thayer, this Massachusetts,
agency was a model for the
other States. Should the Fed
eral Government undertake to
educate the aliens in every
State in preparations for cit
izenship, the probability is that
the States would abandon all
efforts in the same direction
and leave the whole job to the
Federal Government.
Under the American system
OF government, the Federal Gov
eminent is charged with the
duty of fostering public educa-
ton by distributing the results
of research in this field, as the
Federal Office of Education now
does with the limited facilities
at it's disposal.
But the support and control of
Education are the responsibility
of the several States. To make
an exception of aliens and leave
their education to the Federal
Government would seem to run
counter to American theory and
practice. And for these reasons,
Congress will doubtless be slow
TO create a new Federal Bureau
to relieve the States of a work
which under the Federal Con.
stitution is reserved for the
States.
If the Federal Government
would concentrate it's efforts
upon protecting the alien from
racketeers and INSCRIPTIONS
lawyers, it would make easier
his education by the State where
he resides and applies for ad-
mission to citizenship.

The Washington times., 1934-05-04

Whether the United States
ought to be more or less lenient
in getting rid of undesirable
aliens is a question which has
just been raised in the House.
Representative Grove of In
diana has introduced a bill to
amend existing deportation
laws in several important par
ticulars. This measure would
increase the discretionary power
Of the Secretary of Labor in
dealing with certain classes of
deportable aliens. It would
ease up rather than stiffen
Federal procedure in dealing
with many of these cases.
This proposal is based upon a
study, which a nonpartisan
group of citizens has been
making since last June, of
existing immigration and nat
uralization laws. This com.
mittee finds that "our immi
grafton laws have met the chal-
lenge of the depression" and
recommends against any Sub
Stantial amendment" of these
statutes.
Surprising Figures
Some of the changes sug-
gested, however, will appear 10
be quite substantial to many
Senators and Representatives
in Congress who believe that
now is not the time to ercour-
age a new influx of aliens, or
to slow down the machinery of
deportation.
In reporting to the Secretary
Of Labor recently, this COM
mittee gave some surprising
facts and figures about alien
population.
Practically one-third of our
entire population today-forty
million men, women and chill
dren-are immigrants or the
children of immigrants.
There were more foreign-born
in the United States in 1880
than ever before in the history
Of the country. They totalled
in that year fourteen million, of
whom nearly half were still
aliens. In view of the challenge
presented by the problem of
educating and assimilating so
large a part of our population,
it is not surprising that the COM
mittee urges that the Federal
Government give increased at
tention to this task.
In reporting it's findings to
Secretary Perkins, this non
partisan committee says:
eft is surprising that in
country which since 1920 has
admitted more than thirty
seven million immigrants, there
has never been in the Federal
Government some bureau con-
cerned With the Gdjustment of
the alien in the years between
his admission and natur0liz0-
tion.

But you never blame yourself

Yet you know many men who

lance and affluence solely by

They exercise self-denial, put
