The Gypsy Nation.

Nobody knows very much about the
gypsies Even to themselves they are
mystery. From the beginning of re-
corded history up to the present moment
they have been wanderers. Like the
Jews, they have been a scattered people.
But despite their migratory habit they
have maintained their nationality. In
Warsaw the other day they elected
new king-one Janus Kwiek by name,
boiler-maker by profession.
And the new monarch wants a royal
realm over which to rule. He told news
papermen at his first press conference:
Il intend to ask Premier Mussolini to
authorize a mass emigration by gypsies
to Ethiopia" Apparently, he visions

nation, with a capital, halls of legisla-
ton and administration, temples of JUS

litical parties, elections In the modern

trappings and appurtenances OF a con-
temporary state. Eventually, he might

probably would order him before the
firing squad. Herbert Hoover was retired
to private life for limiting at the same
idea; namely, that there is no STEP
ladder for the easy attainment of
heaven. The New Deal and the voters
supporting it have been quite definitely
contrary-minded. Mr. Roosevelt re-
peatedly has insisted that he will not
compromise. His doctrine has been
rigid. Likewise, 1t has been confident

to "the lowest one third of the popula-

tempting to deny that it has been "a
peaceful revolution" The President
himself employed the phrase in his first
inaugural address and has reiterated it
again and again.
But the scheme is not justifying its
press agentry. DR.. Morgan realizes that
1t has accomplished only a small part
OF its purpose. He sees that it has been
expensive and deceptive So he warns
the public that retreat is necessary.

ward kick just as mighty as the upward
one which hurled tons Of material from
the crater. The lower rocks, however,
will not be shattered because shattering
results in an increase In volume and
they have no room to expand. Rather
they will be powerfully compressed.
Then, as the materials above them are
blown away, they will rebound upwards,
Tension features developed during the
upward rebound will cause the rocks
directly beneath the crater to become
nxed, or frozen, while they are bulped
up in the form Of dome. This explains
why the rim rocks about meteor crater
slant away from the hole rather than
dip toward it, Moreover, it has been
possible to judge from the tilt of the
rocks about this crater that the me-
teorlte came in from the north Rocks
on the south side are tilted at high
angles so that they stand nearly YER
tical. The situation is as though these
rocks had been hinged or pried back
by the meteorite falling along a path
which slanted down from the north"
This up-bending of the rocks, he ex-
planned, probably extends downward to
depths comparable to the diameters
OF the craters. This is approximately
a mile, in the case of the Arizona crater.
Hence II the area all around in the
course OF hundreds of centuries, should
be planed down to sea level the doming
would still be apparent.
There are several of such ancient
domes on the Gulf coastal plain Of North
America, he said, which hitherto have
been inexplicable to biologists. Such
domes, he said, may constitute untapped
storehouses Of oil and natural gas.

Partition of Palestine.

Future historians, if impending British
plans materialize, will say of Palestine as
was said of "all Gaul'-that it is di-
vlded into three parts. A partitioning
program splitting the country into a
Jewish state, an Arab state and a
British-mandated area is about to be
promulgated Thus the first steps will
be taken drastically to alter the status
OF the Jewish national homeland estab-
lished by the Balfour Declaration In
1917.
While the London scheme is an am
bilious attempt to solve the problem
created by Arab-Jewish differences,
which have led to sanguinary clashes
and continuous political and economic
unrest, it is by no means certain that
chronic strife now will give way to
durable peace. Indeed, early indications
are that the partition of Palestine may
provide Great Britain with Near East
ern Ireland and provoke the same sort
of perennial conflict as marks the rela-
tions of the Free State with Ulster.
The plan is the fruit of the royal
commission appointed to investigate the
situation caused by Arab hostility to
Jewish immigration and land ownership.
1t is expected that the Jewish state will
comprise the upper and lower Galilee
Valley, the Mediterranean coastal plain
and the towns of Haifa, Salad, Acre and
Tiberas. The British area would in
clude Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Naz-
areth and corridor on either side of
the Jerusalem -Jaffa road which would
give the Arabs access to the sea at the
port Of Jaf1a. The rest of the country
would constitute an Arab state joined to
Transjordan, British inundated territory,
to the west. Some 2500OO Arabs live
within the boundaries of the proposed
Jewish state and many thousands in
the four cities to remain under British
control. Conscious of irreconcilable racial
animosities, Great Britain plans to ten
der to Jewish and Arab organizations
treaties which would in effect guarantee
the independence Of the two new states.
The Palestinian partition requires as
sent OF the League of Nations Mandates
Commission. Theoretically, approval of
the United States is also needed, under
the Anglo-American pact of 1924, where
by this country became a tacit party to
foundation of the Jewish national home.
Zionists do not greet the arrangement
with enthusiasm. 1t circumscribes their
ancient dreams of an all-JeWish Pal
eStine, takes Jerusalem from their juris-
diction, cuts them off from Transjordania
and leaves them to deal with a large
Arab minority. The militant Arab in
dependence leader in Palestine, the
Grand Mufti OF Jerusalem, opposes
partition because it would reduce him
to the status of religious figure and
transfer Moslem political power to the
Emir of Transjordania. The British are
reported to be considering deportation
Of the grand multi as soon as the tri-
partite project is launched.
Stirring events are likely in the Holy
Land before this latest flower of John
Bulls genius for compromise fully
unfolds.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

But in being forced to feed pigeons,
at the same time, and out Of the same
tray, the gardener is simply feeding
some other humans pets.
They are. too. extremely dirty birds.
Even the government at Berlin recently
had to forbid people feeding them in
the public places, owing to the damage
they were doing. A great deal Of pother
has been set up about the starlings, in
this respect. but they must take back
seat. as the old saying had 1t, in COM
parison with the pigeons.
No one can blame Natures creatures,
Of course: they know no better; what
ever fault Is theirs, as mankind regards
them, Is simply due to their hearty and
somewhat gross habits.
The pigeon. in most OF its species is
q very large bird. 1t cannot class with
the dainty chickadee, the charming blue
bird. 1t is 4 gross sort of creature, a
heavy feeder. one with many OF the
good and bad points Of size
In fying down to feeding station,
which they do as regularly as clock
work, once they have located one which
is kept filled. they always take a perch
on house or garage, to see II the coast
Is clear.
This wariness cannot be held against
them. but 1t is one OF their worst points,
because so habitual.

Perhaps as good way as any of solv-
Ing the pigeon problem is to become
actively interested in them.
Perhaps not to the point OF keeping
them, but at least to that OF reading and
studying them.
1t is an amazing thing how often a
little book acquaintance can take out
the sting.
The pigeon family is a great one.
There must be several hundred different
species OF pigeons, ranging from the
homers to the modenas. with all sorts
OF frills, feathers, chests, habits, colors,
shapes and so on.
Doves are just daintier sorts Of
pigeons, belonging to the same group.
Even that goose, or whatever it is, in
the yard at Dupont Circle, has to bow
to the determination and brain power
Of the pigeons.

Is, then, possessed of a scientific and
cultural background of exceptional i'm
portance. Among his fellow New Deal
ers he perhaps might claim to be better
read and more widely experienced than
the average.
1t therefore is interesting to notice
that he does not share the heady dreams
Of some of his associates. Speaking to
the st. Louis Braach of the English
Speaking Union recently, he declared:
utopia Is not going to come from laws
and governmental forms. No single for
Aula has yet been found for the crea-
tion OF a pattern of successful living.
Simply increasing the physical resources
OF wealth is not enough. The quality
OF social changes we make is not going
to depend on laws and governmental
structure, but in the long run the quail
ity of living is going to be that of in
dividuals, the family, the neighborhood
The individual must maintain his own

relations, in his administration OF gov
ernment. He should not come down to

Two Of these handsome birds evidently
had found something to eat there.
Regardless Of whizzing automobiles,
they managed to get what they we're

Occasionally pigeon gets struck,

clumsy flyer until high in the air.
Few smaller birds are in much danger
unless they insist on putting them
selves into the jaywalker class.
Yet out In the suburban districts,
where many and great trees line each
side OF the streets, birds fly across
thoroughfarss time after time, often Just
ahead Of onrushing cars.
It would seem IS II good fortune helps
them more than brains: they can have
no real idea OF the speeds they are deal

cars, any more than scores Of human
beings seem to have any genuine Idea OF
how many feet car can cover at q

Bluejays and pigeons might seem miles
apart, in many respects, but in few
they very much resemble each other.
Each wants what 1t wants.
A bluejay goes after food in a de-
termined manner, and so does q pigeon.
No matter how much bird en-
thuSiaSt may admire pigeons in their
many varieties. he finds them rather
disconcerting II he takes up the sport
Of bird feeding.
Feeding the wild birds, which come
as free as the air, is one thing; feeding
somebody elses pigeons is distinctly
another.
No matter how secluded ones garden,
the pigeons will find 1t out.

Neither they nor the bluejays, as far
as our observations 60. will drive away
other birds. Nor do the jays eat much.
Seldom will they stay at feeding sta
ton. even If peanuts are put out, for
more than half an hour at time. They
love to ny. to stretch their wings for
far places.
The pigeons, however, are in a class
by themselves. when it comes to
goobling all the seed and grain intended
Tor the small birds, the true wild birds
which delight 50 many people.
In feeding the cardinals, sparrows,
chlckadees, mockingbirds and the like,
the person concerned is feeding crea-
tures which belong to nobody except
their Maker.

Why Not Reconsider?

Nine OF the Senate District Commit
tees full membership of fifteen are re-
ported to have been present and voting
on inclusion in the District tax bill of
the obnoxious land tax provision. The
vote was six to three.
In contrast, the proposal to hook on
to the tax bill as an amendment Sena-
tor Tydings' resale price maintainence
measure-Which has no earthly connec-
tion with the local tax problem-brought
a voting attendance of twelve Senators.
The amendment was adopted by vote
OF eleven to one. Senator King cast
the sole dissenting vote.
Local taxes, in other words, merely
af1ect the voteless people of the District.
There is no national question involved,
except when certain principles of taxa
ton are dragged in by the neck and
waved around for the enjoyment of
voters back home.
But when national question is in
volved, such as the Tydings amendment
giving full Federal sanction and CO.
operation to States which have enacted
legislation against price mark-downs of
commodities bearing the manufacturers
trade mark and sold at standard prices,
there is no lack of attendance or of
interest on the part of the Senators.
The same thing has been shown
hundreds of times in both houses of
Congress. And the District suffers as
result. 1t is now threatened with grave
injury through the tax bill and the rea-
son for this threat, fundamentally, is
the lack of interest on the part of the
Senators who have drawn up the SEN
ate version. The Senators have not had,
as yet opportunity to regard their handi-
work. They merely voted on principles
and left the wording of the bill to the
legislative craftsmen. Copies of the bill,
as this Is written, are not available.
1t is difficult to believe that the Sena-
tors were fully aware of the damaging
aspects of the land tax provision in
serted in the bill. 1t is difficult to be-
lieve that there are as many as six men,
bers of the Senate District Committee
willing thus to subscribe through the
back door to curious modification of
the single tax theory-adopting with only
routine attention a measure that was
advanced half facetiously in the House
and previously had received no serious
attention from any source
Senator King is represented as being
bitterly disappointed in the bill. He
has reason to be, but not so bitterly
disappointed as are the people of the
District. There is slight chance that the
bill can be taken up by the Senate to-
day. There is little chance of its con-
sideration tomorrow. Is there not still
time for the Senate District Committee
to hold another meeting for the purpose
Of examining, with full membership
present, the land tax proposal?
Nothing except confusion and injury
to the people of the District will be
gained by hasty disposal of meas
ures which, though they affect only the
people of the District, do so vitally affect
them.

When other large cities get through
with plans for managing their police
they may spare some attention to the
eccentricities of personal conduct with
which men in and about the Nations

ships nations capital has to face is a
mixture of motives, originally high, yet
carrying elements of self interest which
sooner or later obscure their purpose.
