Peace Words and War Deeds.

Hitler has apparently deferred for
later occasion, presumably the
speech he is scheduled to deliver on
May Is, his reply to Europe's con-
demnation of his defiant and provo
cative rearmament program. The re-
marks he addressed to a May day
throng of more than a million Nazis
at the Berlin Tempelhof Airdrome
were couched in a conspicuously con-
ciliatory tone. In the guise OF a
fervent appeal for national unity and
for blind belief in Hitlerism as Ger
many's lone and only creed" the
Fuehrer proclaimed that the Reich
seeks nothing but peace.
Our strength" he thundered, lies
not in tanks, cannon and marching
battanons, but in the unity of our
people and its idealiStic faith. What
we want is not war, not unrest. Just
as we restored peace within Ger
many, we want peace abroad. because
only then can our domestic works be
a success" The pacific character Of
Hitlers protestations is given rather
different coloring by his later afirma-
ton that "a great time has begun
again for Germany-great tasks which
are given only to few generations. ;"
He bade the world to remember that
the Germany of today is no longer
the Germany of yesterday"
The trouble with Hitler's periodical
declarations of the Reich's peaceful
purposes, as Prime Minister MacDon-
aid recently and pointedly reminded
him, is that soft Nazi words are not
accompanied by corresponding deeds.
Within the past six weeks, success
sive occasions, Germany has revealed
that she has secretly made herself
an air power stronger than Great
Britain: that she intends to create
a conscript army of between $780,
900 and 100000 men, and that she
| has begun the construction OF sub
marine feet. All three of these plans
are in avowed, unabashed violation of
the military and naval clauses of the
peace treaty of Versailles.
In the face of these developments.
Hitler and the German people will
hardly expect the world to accept at
face value such assurances of peaceful
Nazi intent as the Fuehrer uttered on
May day. Until the Reich makes up
its mind genuinely and thoroughly to
cooperate with the rest of Europe in
collective action for establishment Of
security and limitation of ornaments
Hitler peace pleas will smack of insin-
cerity. The Fuehrer's fine phrases will
continue to merit such answers as they
are about to receive in London and
Paris. where, respectively, Parliament
is voting an additional S25,000,00 to
keep British air power abreast of Ger
man strength and France and Soviet
Russia are initiating their military
alliance providing for mutual aid
against Nazi aggression.
Plainly it is going to require more
than pious expressions of Germany's
desire for peace to convince Europe
that such sentiments are trustworthy.

Intolerant Dogmatism.

One Of the curious developments Of
the depression period Is that of an
intolerant dogmatism in political and
economic opinion 1t is illustrated in
a thousand different ways and by at
least a thousand different persons.
The views of New Deal supporters and
of New Deal critics alike appear to
have hardened into a militant rigidity,
altogether illiberal in character.
The former recovery administrator
Gen. Hugh S. johnson, for example,
does not concede anything whatever
to the forces of opposition against
which he is waging a colorful but
irrational campaign. His chief, on
occasion, has been frank to admit that
many of his policies have been entirely
experimental. but Mr.. Roosevelt's
spokesman has practiced no such
charity-instead, he has insisted that
the New Deal. and nothing but the
New Deal, is the solution for the Ma
tion's problems 1t follows inevitably
that moderate men and women have
decided that he both claims and pro-
tests too much.
Meanwhile, at the opposite extreme,
several demagogic agitators are pour
ing out equally ungenerous diatribes
against the administration and all its
works. Their propaganda. like that
of their adversaries. grants no con-
cession to anybody. In each case the
speaker is possessed of the whole
truth-those individuals who dare to
doubt or to contradict their theories
are, IN their estimation, traitors to
humanity.
And the confusion is further pro-
NOTED by numbers of cranks who,
without training or experience in either
economies or politics, have invented
panaceas for the correction of the
worlds ills and who entertain vast
contempt for fellow creatures who feel
obliged to resist their opportunities.
They do not realize that their fanati-
cism is a fatal handicap for their
schemes.
To the philosopher it seems obvious
that the depression can be banished,
its causes eliminated and its results
adjusted only by processes Of cooper
alton predicated on humility and fra
ternity. But as yet there are few
signs of spiritual maturity among the
peoples leaders. Thet.self-appointed
captains, indeed, are notably less tol-

This has been a wonderful season
for lilacs, violets and magnolias.

This has been a wonderful season
for lilacs, violets and magnolias.
Just why these widely diversified
things should do so particularly well
this Spring is something of mystery.
One Is shrub, another a plant
and the third tree. yet each has
produced the most magnificent blooms
after its fashion.
One 6 feet off the earth, the other
inches, the third 80 feet tall, each
has done itself proud in the blooming
way.
The magnolia tree. In particular,
has been thing worth going far to
see.
Not every season does it do its best
by any means; this season is the first
in several years when it has lived up
to the expectations of its admirers.
AS for the little violets in the grass,
no finer flowers can be found, after
their fashion.
When trees are in bloom they are
snowy, but the violets must be sought
out.
In color they range from the ia
vorite deep purple, through shades Of
lilac and gray. to certain types of
cream.
The gray specimens are sometimes
called Confederate violets.
Violets do we'll in shade. which
makes them one of the finest plants to
put where nothing else will do well.
They carpet otherwise bare places
to such an extent that some very
anxious people pretend to feel that
snakes live among them"
1t is true that the cool depths of the
verltaole miniature forests they create
with their fine leaves give all the ap-
pearance OF serpent hiding place,
but even the least timid need not fear
snakes nowadays.
Cool tunnels of violet leaves NAV
be good hideouts for snails, and per-
haps cutworms, with assorted insects
OF sorts not known to the average
gardener.
In the main. however, they may be
thought to harbor nothing more men,
acing. and in time the gardener comes
TO feel that such ground covers as
these are part of his garden picture.
He will flnc violets stand trans
planting better than almost any other
plant.
This makes them easily transferred
from one spot, where they are not
wanted, to another which is benefited
by them
Their tendency to spread from sea-
son TO season Is on a par with that of
the ground ivy, gray-green creeper be-
loved of the bees.
Each may be kept in check by the
simple expedient of removing a portion
each year, either throwing it away or
giving it to neighbor.
Which Of these methods of disposal
is best must rest with the gardener.
A great drawback of the latter dis
posal Is that almost invariably the
plants given to neighbor tend to do
much better than the ones left in
ones own yard
Every one has had this experience
The gardener must be considerable
of a philosopher to regard with equa-
nimity the fine growth and Towering
of the plants he gave away, as con-
trasted with those he kept.
Surely this is a chance for one to
build up ones bump of generosity,
Many kindly persons are very
selfish, are they not?
Not that they do not like to give,

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEKELL.

but somehow they never seem to get
anywhere by giving.
Consider the Washingtonian who
last week purchased small gift Tor
friend.
When he presented 1t the recipient
said, did they give 1t to you?"
There seems to be little good in
giving sometimes because of the utter
disappearance of the gift. 1t vanishes
SO utterly.
One might as well have thrown the
thing into the sea. It is all right, OF
course, to remind ones self that the
person who got the gift is happy with
1t. One could not ask that he display
1t afterward, or say anything about
it. Still. giving would be great deal
more fun If the gift did not disappear
SO completely.
The gift of plants Is notoriously
lacking in reward, some way or other.
Some one says that no one should
expect a reward in such matters.
But don't we?
we 90, Lf1dt Is LIE Size Ol IL.
If one does rot care to make gift
plants of excess violets and the like
he may surely find place for them
somewhere else in his own yard.
We have but to think of all the
bare earth seen everywhere, even at
the most f1oriferous times of the year.
to realize that smaller plants OF all
kinds have q real place in the world.
A charming small plant not often
grown in the average garden Is the
sweet woodruff. which does well in
semi-shade at the base of evergreens.
Its leaves are O fine green, contrast
ing we'll with the white flowers.
This is one Of the herb plants COM
ing into fashion again. The leaves.
when dried in the shade. have a
balmy sweet odor. STEPPED in hot
water they make good tea, If one
has acquired the taste for herb teas.
Not every one does. They are green
teas, 1t must be remembered. and do
not color the water much. They are
best drunk with-a very small amount
Of sugar and a little lemon. not
enough of the latter to destroy the
taste.
The subject of these teas is large
one, in itself. so we must leave 1t.
having but mentioned 1t to make
clear the fact that many OF the
things all of us grow in our gardens
are in reality herbs" in the ordinary
classification.
The bee balm" or bergamot, for
instance, is grown by thousands of
home lovers who never once realize
that it may be made into tea, which
is said to be different"
The bees know. though!
A newcomer to the nome garden
field has been heard TO lament the
number of bees around her plants.
She wants to plant only things
which do not attract bees, of which
she is afraid.
Let no one fear the bees. however,
for without them We would not have
half the garden plants we now possess.
A good bee mostly minds its own
business. and since 1t is very busy,
indeed, in its business, the average
gardener need have little fear 1t will
molest him.
Maybe the bees have something to
do with the plain fact that this is a
fine Spring for lilacs, violets and
magnolias.
If so. let us thank the busy gather
ers OF honey once more.

confederated tribes in Southern Brit
ain. Early he transferred his seat Of
government to what became Roman
Camulodunum (Colchester). London's

tinental trade with Britain. Taeitus

Senate committees to investigate
campaign expenditures have been
named every four years and sometimes
every two years, for long period.
They unearthed a lot of things and
prevented the seating of at least Sen
ators ELECT, not to mention halting
some candidates for that office Or elec.
ton day. If the use Of Federal money
in the States has a political angle
and obviously it does-the proposed in
vestigation by a Senate committee
may be a salutary thing. Further
than that, it may have the effect Of
bringing about more ef1cient distri-
button of money, distribution that
will save the people themselves great
deal of money and provide more re-
lief for those who actually need it.
The anti-lynching bill, sponsored
by two Democratic Senators, Wagner

Federal Government authority to
punish lylching In the States, to q
bitter end and prevent action. The
Republican Senators are rejoicing,
however, not because the bill has been
laid aside, but because they believe
that the colorec people, who favor
the bill, will now perceive that they
have no real hope from the Demo-
Gratis. To this the colored voters
might retort, however, that the
Republicans have been in power for
