New Deal Pledges
Must Be Redeemed

To the Editor Of The Star:
New Deal subjects-both willing and
reactionary-hsve been treated to reiter-
ated pledges Of budget balance. Each
pledge has been followed, not by the re-
form Indicated but by greater chaos.
The result of this policy of well do 1t
tomorrow" is now becoming evident in
business, on the securities markets, new
financing being practically frozen: ex-
pansion, unemployment, even mainte-
nance of present gains, being threatened.
Public capacity for belief in the ad-
mfnistration's promises has been about
exhausted, the ghosted fireside chats
being classed with campaign bunk. A
budget balanced 'in year or two" is
taken to mean never" "Of course. we
will balance it" is interpreted as per
haps-but when?"
The nature of legislation slated for
the rush" through the coming special
session, increases these doubts, due to
repeated pledges which have gone on
the rocks
= New Deal leaders now go publicly on
record as asserting that Mr.. Roosevelt
means it this time The New Deals
chance to retrieve some of the support
and prestige it has lost. and to restore
some measure Of value to its word and
bond is to make this pledge stick.

Praises Article on the
Lost River State Park

To the Editor Of The Star:
It was with the deepest pleasure that
I read Blanche Syfret Meningitis article
on Lost River State Park" published
in last Sundays Star. I know that part
of West Virginia WE'LL as we have lodge
about IS miles from there on the Caca-
non River and have visited the park. Not
only was 1t true as to facts and accurate
in detail. but it was written in such an
appealing manner that it made me have
a desire to visit it again. In fancy, as
read. l wandered with the writer over the
trails. looked on the inspiring view from
the lookout and sat by the fireplace in
the evening. relaxed. pleasurably tired
and knowing that far from the mad
ding crowds ignoble strife" there was rest
for tired bodies and world-weary minds
and souls. Why don't you publish more
articles on State parks? I'm sure there
are many more such places recently de-
veloped and that nature lovers, of which
there are thousands around Washington,
would be glad to read about even though
thev cannot all visit them. Articles such
as this. so inspiringly written are of
universal appeal, and just the reading
of them makes you want to get into
your old clothes and HE away for a
genuine rest and relaxation so sorely
needed in this hustling, busting age.

The faunas consist OF gigantic worms
and arthropods-th latter belonging to
the same general family as the crusta-
ceans and the insects and probably in
the direct ancestral line of the trilobites.
The largest of these preCambrian
arthropods was more than ten feet long.

creature appeared in deposits $4,000 feet
below the known lower Cambrian. There

About three thousand feet above came

enormous worms and crabs, but they are
not so crude in their structure Evolu
tion has been at work producing more
efficient creatures Then, the rock strata
indicate, there was a great glaciation-
an ice age more than half billion years
ago. The big worms and crabs couldn't
stand the cold. They had enjoyed easy
living too long. With the end of the ice
another fauna appears-dwarfed crea-
lures of the same kinds. They probably
had pulled through because they didn't
require so much to eat.
Among these, the Australian paleon-
tologists believe, may be found the actual
remote ancestors of the trilobtes and of
the cepha alopods the giant creatures who
succeeded the crab-like forms AS masters
OF creation. The dwarfed fauna is still
far below the lower Cambrian and the

Ambassador Plus 10 Mexico.

From the winston Salem Journal
Josephus Daniels is more than an Am
basSador of the United States to Mexico,
Those who do not appreciate that fact
should read some of the speeches he
makes to Mexican audiences.
Mr.. Daniels has carried to the Mexicans
the gospel of public health-the same
that has been responsible for the great
progress of our State Health Department
in the last quarter of a century.
The occasion was the unveiling of a
tablet to the late John d. Rockefeller at
the Federal Health Department in Mex
ico In that address Ambassador DAN
ies told the people Of Mexico in the
language of Disraeli that "the public
health is the foundation upon which rests
the happiness of the people and the well
fare of the nation. The care of the pub
lie health is the first duty of the states
men,"
countries may try to be supernatural
and live unto themselves" he said, by
erecting trade barriers, providing quotas,
employing armies of agents to keep out
what other nations grow or manufacture.
BY diligence large measure of success in
this live unto yourself policy, often more
injurious than helpful may be achieved.
But no wall has been erected so high, no
barrier constructed so strong, no Gordon
stretched so effectively as to confine
germs and bugs and enemies to man,
animals or plants to the confines OF any
one country Every wind that blows car
ries germs and spores and bacteria across
rivers and mountains and oceans. No
high tariff walls, no battalion of customs
officials, no army of G-men can shut out
the diseases which afflict other coun-
tries"

Remember Foreign Naval
Aid in the Revolution

To the Editor OF The Star:
In commemorating Navy day, October
~, America should pay solemn tribute
to those foreign navies which came to
her aid in the critical and dark days Of
her history. The navies OF France and
Russia both contributed, one by active
assistance and the other passive. In the
War of Independence, by virtue of the
aid of the French feet. Washington won
the decisive victory at Yorktown and the
United States started on its course as a
great republic.
Historians are prone to overlook the
part that Russia played in American his
tory. When England was on the verge
of recognizing the Confederacy during
the Civil War the Car of Russia dis
patched q squadron of warships to the
Port of New York. Recognition by Eng
land of the Confederacy would have
meant divided Union, and it is not un-
likely that the presence of the Cars
fleet at New York changed the policy of
the British government to one OF definite
non intervention.
America today is at peace with the
world and her Navy. like that of England,
her sister across the sea, is the guardian
and advocate of peace.

Farmers Gains Absorbed
By Rising Land Prices

To the Editor Of The Star:
am much taken with jay Franklins
criticism on behalf Of consumers, Of crop
control measures now being advocated
but does he know that the farmers real
trouble lies in the fact that all increase in
income he is receiving through the vari-
Gus agencies in aid is being absorbed in
rising land prices? A prominent farm
journal, the Nebraska Union Farmer,
calls its readers attention to this situa-
ton, telling them that cooperation will
not solve it or anything else but the plac-
ing of all taxes on land values as advo-
Gated from experience with B partial
application in Denmark where co-opera-
tion has been fully tested and found
wanting. 1t will put a definite crimp in
land exploitation and so insure the farm
er a greater profit at lower price for
his produce. which would be an unmixed
blessing to the consumer as we'll. 1t is as
simple as that. But that may be the
reason why, in our love of complica-
tions. the less understandable the bet
ter, we can't see it.

Crop Reduction Will
Raise Prices Higher

To he Editor of The Star:
If women do not want in future to pay
even higher prices than now for meat
and groceries. they should write imme-
diately to their Representatives and
Senators at Washington. to protest
against the crop-reduction bill now COM
ing up in this special term OF Congress.
This bill is economic insanity" and
will raise prices all over the country by
producing less and charging more. Al
ready 36700, 900 acres have been taken
out of production, 6.700, 900 hogs, ,300,-
900 cattle and 100000 sheep have been
destroyed Is it any wonder that food
prices have risen Al per cent and are
designed to go still higher?
We are now eating hams, bacon and
-four from Poland, eggs from China and
Czechoslovakia and canned goods of all
kinds from Japan, and still this admin
istration wishes to limit production while
the small-salaried people are suffering
for want of proper food. their children
undernourished, following such curtail-
ment of crops.
1t is earnestly desired that every
woman. every housewife protest this bill
to their Representatives and Senators
before it Is too late to do so.

Similarly, Great Britain abstained from
violence when the Argentine Republic in
1885 released map stamp asserting
property rights over the Falkland Islands.
The crown agents in London made their
protest effective by printing an islands
adhesive of their own.
Strife between Bolivia and Paraguay
over the Grand Chaco meanwhile had
been reflected in stamp designs both
countries insisting upon title to the dis
puted area. But it would be an error to
attribute to the colored labels the orig
inal cause of the contention.
Perhaps the one single case in which
stamp has altered the course of history is
that of the famous Mount Momotombo
issue of Nicaragua, dated 1900. 1t played
determinative part in the decision of
the United States to build the Panama
Canal through the Canal Zone. The
debate in the Senate had won numerous
powerful adherents for the alternative
proposition-the so-called Nicaragua
plan. Then, an enlarged representation
of the volcano postage sticker was offered
in proof of the contention that the route
was hazardous. subject to disturbance by
earthquake. Other factors were involved,
yet it probably was the picture of Mono
tombo in eruption" that influenced the
final choice.

Slaughter al a Crossing.

Again the grade crossing takes heavy
toll of life, in grim reminder of the
tragedy at Rockville. near this city, April
IL, 1885. when fourteen persons were
killed and others were gravely injured.
This latest accident occurred at Mason
City, Iowa. A fast express crashed into
a school bus laden with high school
students at an intersection known as a
private crossing" and ten were killed
and nineteen injured. The circumstances
appear to have been such as TO cause
the blame TO rest entirely upon the
driver of the bus, who did not bring his
vehicle to stop before advancing upon
the track, AS he lost his life no explain
alton can be given as to his reason for
