The German Church.

Long and bitter strife between the
Nad government and the German Prot
estant Church has taken what may turn
out to be decisive turn. Baked in at
tempts to regiment that militant body
into a political adjunct of national So
cialism, Chancellor Hitler has issued a
decree which on its face confers upon
the Evangelical community the right OF
self-determination. It is to be afforded
the opportunity in complete liberty, and
according to its own will, to give itself
new constitution and, through it, a
state of order" To carry out this pro-
gram, writs of election for a new general
synod will be issued by the Reich church
minister, Hans Kerrl.
: Whether this bid for peace within
Lutheran ranks will produce desired re-
suits is problematical. The plebiscite
concession was forthcoming following
resignation of the government-appointed
Reich Church Council, which was
charged with the duty of establishing
what would amount to Na1-dominate
state church. The plan had met with
widespread protest Taking prompt
cognizance of the impasse and tacitly
acknowledging the failure of the effort

Make Them Responsible.

Chairman Collins of the House Sub
committee on District Appropriations is
said to have been impressed by the
failure of the Commissioners and the
Budget Bureau to include certain needs
in the estimates and by their inclusion
of some items that could have been
postponed. He suggests the services of
an investigator working directly with
the subcommittee and checking on Dis
trict needs independently of the Com
missionerS or the Budget Bureau.
But instead of further diffusion of
responsibility in the presentation of
District needs to Congress, would it not
be better approach to centralize such
responsibility? Under present budget
procedure, the Commissioners and the
department heads are not directly re-
sponsible for the final estimates. The
Budget Bureau is directly responsible,
but, as demonstrated in the past session
of Congress, the Budget Bureau may
shed part of its responsibility by passing
the buck back to the Commissioners
blaming failure to include necessary
items on the lack of vigor shown by
the Commissioners in presenting their
arguments before the Budget Bureau.
Authority over the District budget is
spread between the department heads,
the Commissioners, the District auditor
who is also budget oficer-the Budget
Bureau and, of course, the committees
of Congress. The responsibility for the
local estimates should rest with the
Commissioners. They should forward
their estimates directly to Congress,
without Budget Bureau interference and
control. Feeling such responsibility,
there would be less disposition on their
leaving the matter of including or dis
carding items with the Budget Bureau.
If the Commissioners, in addition,
could know what to depend on in the
way of a national contribution, as well
as the estimated yields of local taxation,
they would be in better position to
send to Congress well-rounded, bal
anced budget. AS long as they do not
know the size of the national contribu-
ton and as long as they can pass re-
sponsibility to the Budget Bureau for
framing local estimates, their resulting
budgets are not apt to reflect considered
or final Judgment. The tendency is
to leave it up to the Budget Bureau and
to Congress, with the knowledge that
some cuts are inevitable and that only the
Budget Bureau and the committees Of
Congress can decide where such cuts
are to be made.

In Honor of Mr.. Farley.

The great and the near great of the
Democratic party assembled Monday
night to do honor to great political
organizer - James A. Farley. It was
entirely fitting that they should do so.
AS chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee Mr.. Farley has beep
the political chief Of staff and campaign
manager during two national campaigns.
It is quite true, as Vice President Gar
ner remarked jokingly, that Mr.. Farley
had good materials" to start with in
the last campaign, a national ticket
that had tremendous popular support.
Nevertheless, many a battle has been
won because of painStaking and de-
tailed organization, both in war and
In politics. Chairman Farley is a past
master at organization.
In that great gathering of Democratic
leaders from all parts of the country it
would be strange If the head Of the next
national ticket and his running mate
were not present. If the Democrats
should decide four years from now to
smash precedent and overthrow the
tradition against q third presidential
term, President Roosevelt was there to
represent himself, as well as to pay sin
cere tribute to the man who labored
valiantly to bring about, first, his norni-
nation In 1892 and then his election
twice to the highest office In the land.
The roll call Of the States brought be-
fore the diners the chief Democratic

to coordinate" the church, Der
Fuehrer decided to pass the entire issue
back to the Protestant community as a
whole. His action is widely heralded as
the first major setback In the four-year
crusade to Nazify Germany.
Even under the immunity from perse-
cution and pressure pledged to Prot
estant communicates under this tenn
porary truce, it is question whether
the confessional synod has strength
enough left, after protracted battle for
existence against Nazi encroachments,
to mobilize its adherents in sufiicient
numbers to win. Victory would permit
adoption of a constitution conforming
with the principles for which the Rev.
erend Martin Niemoeller and his un-
terrified parsons have fought and suf-
fered. The German Christians, as the
pro-Naz Protestants are known, have
not stacked arms. They are prepared
to renew the struggle for Hitlerized
national church, which would elevate
obedience to the state above spiritual
considerations. The old-time Protestants
not only face the strongly intrenched
hostility of the Nazis, with their vast
political and propaganda resources, but
the additional difficulty of arousing old
time supporters who have become luke
warm during the combat against totali-
tartan religion, or, for obvious reasons,
consider it injudicious further to defy
NaZi influence.
Amid popular discomfort with many
internal conditions, Hitler can have no
desire to perpetuate the joint enmity of
Protestants and Roman Catholics, not
to mention Jews. The Evangelical
Church takes up with courage the op-
portunity it has now won, but the cir
cumstance that the self-determination
plebiscite is to be conducted under sur
veillance of Hitler's church minister and
NaA Reich Bishop Mueller holds out
none too bright promise that the issue
will be decided in favor of unfettered
Professionalism.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

his major objective. On the basis o" the
present divergent lineup in the Senate,
and conceding the administration a fair
share of strength among members who
have not yet publicly committed them
selves, Leader Robinson should be able
to muster a safe, though by no means
overwhelming, ma ajority for Mr.. Roose-
welt. On the House side, Democratic
veterans predict that no more than so
of Leader Rayburn's faithful will stray
from the reservation and that the total
opposition on final roll call, Democrats
and Republicans alike, will not exceed
$50 at the outside. That is a highly
optimistic forecast.
Recent enactment of the Barkley-
Bulkley disaster loan corporation bill,
providing $50,000,000 for flood relief,
established something of record in the
way OF congressional speed. Reported
from its committee on banking and cur
rency with amendments at 1915 pm.
on February IL, the Senate passed the
measure as amended at 100 pm. 1t
was received by the House of Represent
atives at lao pm, passed without
amendment at 4:25 pm. signed by the
Speaker as an enrolled bill at tbs pm.
and by the Vice President at 7:35 pm,
then delivered to the White House at
7:45 pm. and signed by the President
at 900 p.m-marking the end Of per-
feet eight-hour day.
Admiral William H. Standley, recently
retired chief Of operations at the Navy
Department, has just been appointed by
the management of the New York World
Fair Of 1889 to take charge of the eXposi-
tion's international representation. He
will have the rank and title of director
of foreign participation. Presumably.
the admiral's duties will include trips
abroad to enlist overseas interest in
Father Knickerbocker'S big show, as well
as to function as official host to dis
tinguished strangers on Long Island two
years hence. Guatemala is the first ma
tiSn officially to accept Uncle Sans in
vitation to take part in the fair. In
formal assurances have been received
that altogether nearly 40 foreign coun-
tries will be represented.
Some Of the more fervid opponents Of
the Roosevelt judiciary scheme go the
length of foreShadowing that 1t may
be held up indefinitely In the Judiciary
Committees of both Senate and House.
They're satisfied that if and when the
bill is reported out, it will be in form
which Its joint and several parents IN
the White House and the Department
Of Justice will hardly recognize. First
skirmishes in the constitutional battle
of the century are due in the Capitol
bodies over which Senator Ashurst and
Representative Summers, respectively,
preside as chairmen. Scenting possible
disaster either in committee or on the
floors Of Congress, administration leader
ship is expected to pursue the strategy
Of delaying final action as long as pos
sible, in the hope that what Attorney
General Cummings variously calls
"hysteria," lamentations" and "insen-
safe clamor" will die down, eventually
vanish and give way to popular support
Of the project.

Some 1,700 admirers, representing
every State in the Union, paid affec-
tionate tribute to Jim Farley at his
testimonial dinner in Washington this
week. The Postmaster General probably
knew 1850 of them by name and must
call at least 1000 by their first names.
Sunny Jim has always cultivated the art
of memory as one Of the most potent
weapons in politicians arsenal. It's
said that once he hears name he sell
DOM II ever, forgets it. He thinks the
gift has helped him win many a CAM
paign. The recent honorS accorded to
the triumphant New Deal field marshal
undoubtedly have more than ephemeral
or purely sentimental importance. De-
spite his reputed desire to quit public
Office and enter private business, the
Democratic national chairman is credited
with an ambition to become Governor
of New York State and with the purpose
of being a candidate in 1898. You'll
hear it suggested that Jim now and then
even casts q rowing thought in the
direction of the presidency of the United
States. Certainly no other aspirant for
that exalted honor could enter the lists
with so far-fiung personal organization
as Farley possesses. 1t reaches into the
innermost recesseS of virtually every
county in the country and rests upon
genuine friendships with hosts Of men
and women who are leaders, candidate
makers and vote-getters in their local
communities.
Gov. George H. Earle of Pennsylvania
was the only one who intruded politics
into the Farley love feast. He could not
resist the temptation to crate that the
long-distance telephone had just brought
him word that the Democratic Legisla-
ture at Harrisburg was about to vote
overwhelming Endorsement of the Roose-
velt judiciary reform program. Every
body else at the banquet, notably F. D. Il.
himself, punctiiously refrained from
anything savoring of partisanship. The
explanation, of course, is that the young
Penn State executive is already running
for President in 1910, under the skillful
and potent guidance Of Senator Joe
Guffey Earle naturally Graves the bless
ing of the White House incumbent, who,
by all the rules of the game, will have
a good deal to say as to who Will De

veltian favor, as things are now shaping,

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

A correspondent wants to know II
there is any sure way Of making juncos
and song and white-throated sparrows
come to feeding stations.
We do not know Of any. All one can
do Is put out grains and seeds, bread
stuffs and other articles Of food. Maybe
bird trail might help.
There will be certain birds, such as
cardinals, chickadees, nuthatches and
English sparrows, which will take to
any feeding station.
There will be turtle doves, for instance,
which will eat on the ground beneath,
but seldom If ever are to be seen on the
tray or platform.
The favorite little juncos, or snow
birds, seldom patronize feeding station,
preferring the natural seeds In the grass
and on withered annual plants.
There Is no compulsion in bird feeding
that is one Of its best features. You
can put out all the seed you want, in
as many feeders as you have money
to buy and places to put, but you can
nature.
feeder for a few minutes each day, but
dAC AAoO dA1iO1A6 OtC0dy PoSA
Cardinals prefer the early morning and
late afternoon for feeding at stations.
Ground feeders may make brief stays
on feeder platforms. but in the main
choose their natural way Of eating
from the ground.
If there are squirrels in the neighbor-
hood these will toss so much seed to the
earth from feeder that all ground
feeders will find plenty below without
going aloft.
If the feeder is Of such construction
that few grains are knocked down, a
small supply might well be sprinkled on
the earth below in order to attract those
species which will not take to the feeder
platform.
But better than this, lure, or trail,
might be laid from the feeder to a
point in the grass where the juncos and
various Of the more shy sparrowS con-
gregate.
Whether this would work we do not
know but it would be worth trying.
1t is a method used in the great bird
reservations to attract Wintering song
sters to shelters constructed for them
out of evergreens.
The system comprises the use OF WlSpS
of hay and the strewing of these in a
sort of natural path from a known
place where the birds congregate to
the shelter which 1t is hoped they will
use
The person interested in birds who
desires to induce strict ground feeders
to come to feeding station might well
emulate this system, except that he
should use handful OF seed, such as
is commonly found in mixtures sold for
the wild birds.
This should be sprinkled along in a
line from spot where the desired
species have been seen. The line should,
of course, extend to the feeding station
and end there in a slightly augmented
amount Of seed.
In the main, however, it is impossible
to change the habits of the birds to any
considerable extent.
These are the result of centuries, and,
no doubt, are the best for the birds
concerned.
Consider that wise bird, the starting.
Now and then he will get in a feeder,
but not often. He prefers the ground,
too.
If you want starlings to patronize a
feeding station it will have to be serviced
with chunks of meat, even canned SAL
mon will do.
Then you will see these vigorous fel-
