open to such questions as that which
yesterday prompted the advice about a
Ounce cap.
II persistent endeavor to obtain a
clarifying statement on this question,
which is of Importance and great interest
to the public, is an evidence OF mental
deficiency, then indeed there are many
Americans who are headed for the
ounces corner. For until some definite
and explicit disavowal of third-terrl as
piration is forthcoming, there will remain
doubt in the public mind. Gov. Earle's
recent remark has not elected it, though
it afforded an opportunity If the cryptic
utterance at the Victory Dinner is deemed
by the Executive as definite rejection
of the third-term idea, a statement to
that effect is In order.

Ounces.

Not altogether opposite was the Presi-
dents remark to questioner at White
House press conference yesterday regard
Ing the matter of third term. The
reporter, following refusal of the Presi-
dent to comment upon Gov Earle's re-
cent statement urging him to run again
In 1910, asked him directly whether he
would accept another term. Laughingly
he was advised to go into a corner and
put on Ounce cap and stand with his
back to the crowd. Another questioner
asked If the Victory Dinner reference to
the matter fully covered the question
and was advised to join his colleague in
the corner.
Both questions were in order and
neither was answered The Victory Din
ner statement was not an adequate meet
ing of the matter. The President said
that he wanted to turn over his Office to
his successor In 1941, whoever he may
be" with the assurance that he was turn
ing over to him as President a Nation
in sound condition. The word Success
sor" left the matter still in question For
man may be his own successor. While
the implication was that Mr.. Roosevelt
expected and desired to turn over the
Office to another than himself, he did
not say so. and thus he left the matter
Evening star., 1937-06-30
Up to the DOminiOns.
From the Baltimore Sun.


The outlook for a reciprocal trade
agreement with Great Britain seems to
have improved in the last few weeks.
The improvement has not been as great
as one might have hoped. for but it at
least shows that the trend is still toward
eventual success. Evidence of this may
be seen in the belief now held in Wash
ington that the differences between the
two countries have more or less mar
rowed themselves down to the question
OF the concessions the British might be
willing to make with regard to Amer
ican farm products.
1t may also be considered a good sign
that Walter Runciman has retired as
president of the Board of Trade. He
favored reciprocal agreement with the
United States, but wanted it arranged
on such terms as would, in effect, canal
ize" trade between England and America,
proposal that ran counter to Secretary
Hulls idea of using reciprocity as
means of leveling international trade
barriers Thus his withdrawal removes
at least one obstacle to the projected
agreement.
The imperial conference in London
likewise is yielding certain favorable, II
passive, results. The Dominion premiers
have shown themselves better disposed
toward the reciprocity plan than had
been expected. They realize, however,
that their principal opposition at home
will come from the agricultural and re-
lated interests that have been profiting
from the system OF imperial preference
establlshed by the .Ottawa agreomeuts.

This may seem thrilling enough, for
time.
For space the gardener feels himself
hero.
If he is to have thriving plants it all
depends upon him. Isn't that the role
OF the ages for the aspiring man?
Here are many beautiful flowers,
vegetables, shrubs, trees, lawns, none of
which can do well without his help.
All the famous natural enemies of the
famous-and infamous-insects, beetles,
bugs" blights, rusts, mildews and a
thousand more which assail his precious
plants have been left behind in their
native lands.
The importers-mostly unknowing-of
insect and fungus pests failed to bring
along the natural enemies, with the re-
suit that these pests are getting ahead
OF us.
Only sprays and powders and tho like
can help US.
Wherefore 1t seems and is foolish not
to use them.
But that is not all!
Not by garden full Of insects!
There remains the side OF man which
Is bored.
1t is his soul, or maybe just his mind
Whatever 1t. is In him, 1t protests the
necessity for these repeated sprayings
both with sprayer and powder gun.
1t finally ends up by his refusing to do
most Of the spraying necessary.
Notice all those evergreens with
Drowned tips.
See the roses, which are not half as
pretty as they ought to be, or would be
perhaps, II sprayed
The gardener must admit it. II he
sprayed as he should. II he put sulphur
dust on his roses faithfully every week
for three or four months, he might have
better roses
The question is, are roses worth it?
The question is are any plants worth
It?
The answer is, from a million protest
Ing throats. mol"
Insects. fungi and other blghts have
taken an unfair advantage OF us.
They have sneaked up on US, nov
they threaten our gardens before we can
turn around.
Spray we must-with one exception
Here is the secret!
Grow flowers which, as yet, have
escaped the bugs"
There are a few OF these left which
somehow the insect invaders have over
looked
Let us stick to these and be happy
horally speaking. without the everyday
necessity for recourse to the sprayer OF
dust gun.
II your phlox is disease ridden this
Summer. as it is in so many gardens
give over phlox for time just as many
amateurs stopped growing the gladiolu.
when the iniquitous thrip seemed ready
to drive 1t from our shores.
A little garden spraying, now and then
goes long way. 1t is tiresome, boring
stultlfying. When it must be done, OF
course. it shall be done: but when we
can get out of it, OF course not!

Pretty Sane Behavior.

Robert Irwin, who murdered three
people on Easter Sunday morning in
New York, will make fight to convince
a judge and jury that he is insane
and should therefore escape the death
penalty.
Well, perhaps he is insane. But he
was sane enough to elude pursuit and
to keep himself hidden from the police
for three months, earning q living, in
the meantime, as normal person.
He was sane enough to catch the
CLINT of recognition in companion s
eye and to make his escape before the
informer made up, her own mind that
