few more, mostly youngsters on their
way to school. Now we are packed.
There is no room to read the morning
paper so you replace it in your pocket.
The windows are closed tight and the
odors in the bus are bad Move back,
please" the driver politely requests.
And we push and push. More passengers
and still more. The eighth wonder of
the world to me is how that driver is
able to pack us in; but he does it. We
are now uneasy. A few more get on.
Now we are actually scared Then we
come to long hill beyond Cherrydale,
toward Washington. This the driver
likes. He must think he is piano player
the way he puts his foot on the pedal,
and the sound of the motor tearing down
the hill is music to his ears. Come with
me, say, only once. You will not dare
do it second time. I. M. GREY,

Won't Buy Turkey
For Milkman

For Milkman
To the Editor Of The Star:
Today found note in my milk box,
left there by the representative of
large dairy company, asking me to buy
a 15-cent bottle of cream in order that
the driver might secure a Christmas
turkey from the company.
I wish to take this opportunity of pro-
testing publicly, as I have done pri-
vately, against that type of business. It
isn't the cream; We could possibly use it.
It isn't the money, which is insignificant.
1t is the principle of the thing, which
in my mind is nothing more than a
racket. The company which makes the
profits wants us customers to buy some
thing whether we need it or not or
whether we want it or not, just so that
it will have enough extra to buy Christ
mas turkeys at no additional cost to
the firm. Now if the company was
making such small profits, perhaps that
procedure would be excusable. But I
recall that about three years ago, in
time Of drought, the company raised the
price of milk cent per quart upon the
plea that the nilkshed was reduced.
In the past two years, years of good
rainfall, the company kept the price at
the same level as in drought conditions.
Now, in addition, it wants the customers
to buy Christmas turkeys for the drivers.

The Meaning of MemeI

Plans for Modification of Eastern
Europe-Alpha and Omega of Hit
lers program-Were advanced
notable stage yesterday, when
Memel, Baltic seaport of Lithuania,
at which the Germans have long
leveled a covetous eye, voted heavily
in favor of what is generally as
sumed to be inevitable union with
the Reich. Nominally the election
ranged around the issue of the
Memel autonomy statute and con-
cerned the demands of the regions
preponderantly German population
for cultural" independence. Ac-
tually, Sundays polling was a plebi-
scite on Anschluss. The Nazis car
ried tWenty-six out of twenty-nine
Diet seats. In consequence, they
jubilantly predict that annexation to
the Reich is mere matter of time.
The true inwardness of Memel lies
in the fact that it marks another step
forward in Hitler's drang mach Osten
(thrust to the East campaign. The
grand objective is conquest of the
Russian Ukraine. The possession of
its agricultural and mineral wealth,
the Fuehrer has publicly proclaimed,
would make Germany rich beyond
the dreams of avarice. With both
Danzig and Memel autonomously
Nazified, they are ready to drop like
overripe fruit into the Reichs lap.
Recovery of the Polish Corridor
would be the next logical develop
ment. Goering's personal organ, the
National Zeitung of Essen, now hints
that even Latvia has come within
the orbit of German desires. Upper
Silesia, which is Polish, has long
tempted the NaZis. All these regions
are approaches to the Ukraine. Most
OF them being ex-Reich territory, are
heavily populated with former Ger
man nationals. That the Sudeten
technique will sooner or later be en-
ployed to justify their liberation"
is not to be doubted. "Mein Kampf"
foreshadows it as manifest destiny.
Conformity with the designs on these
contiguous areas is the notoriously
Nazi-inspired political unrest within
the Ukraine itself.
True to the Nazis unfailing sense
OF timing, Memel and all it typifies
dovetail onto what is happening else
where in Europe. Having fortified
Germany's western flank by the
peace" accord with Paris and en-
couraged Mussolini to rivet French
attention on Tunisia, Corsica, Nice
and Savoy, Hitler evidently feels he
is now in position to push ahead
with the grandiose scheme that set
in with Austria and continued with
Czecho -Slovakia.

Fish Conservation

The decision of fish and game ex-
perts from the Atlantic Coast States
to seek authorization from Congress
for interstate compacts to conserve
and stabilize the Atlantic coastal
fishery will prove, it is hoped, a major
step in the improvement of an in
dustry which supports thousands Of
families and supplies an important
article OF food.
To cite examples of depletion in
the coastal fishery, the shad catch
dwindled eighty-three per cent from
peak Of 48,517,000 pounds in 1897 to
8,236,OOO In 1885. The lobster catch,
the diminution of which has thrown
many Northern fishermen on relief
rolls, sank sixtyfour per cent from
peak of 30,772,000 pounds in 1898 to
10,S52,000 pounds in 1885. The stur-
geon catch has become literally non-
existent from a commercial stand
point.
The coastal fishery-that involving
migratory marine life within the
three-mile limit subject to State con-
trol-forms an important part of the
entire Atlantic fishery, which in 1897
produced 1,514, ,35O,O0O pounds of COM
mercial sea food, providing a $685.
$4,000 income to fishermen alone.
1t would be we'll for the several
States involved to take the compact
resolution to heart and establish
uniform control to insure future con-
Servation

Mr.. Johnson's Recall

The underlying significance of
Ambassador Johnson's recall from
China for report and consultation
will not be lost on the government
which is mainly responsible for it,
namely, Japan. If there were any
doubt on that score, 1t would be re-
moved by the fact that the State
Departments announcement of the
envoy's temporary return to the
United States was issued the very
day on which Ambassador Grew was
summoned to the Toxic foreign Of
flee, to learn from Mr.. Arita that the
Japanese have decided to revise"
the open door policy in China, or, in
other words, to revoke it.
Naturally, such situation requires
America and other powers which
operate commercially in China under
valid treaties to consider what can
and should be done to protect the
rights which the invader of that
country would unilaterally obliterate,
in the name of the new order in
Asia" which they propose to impose.
Secretary Hull, on the eve Of his de-
parture for Lima, branded Tokio's
program as entirely unsatisfactory"
to this country. Great Britain has
declared it equally unacceptable.
AS our foremost authority on
China, Ambassador Johnson is in
unique position to advise President
Roosevelt and Acting Secretary of
State Welles in their decision of the
step next to be taken to register
American resentment of Japanese
pretensions and plans. Toxic may
assert the right to close the open
door. Whether it can keep it shut is
another question, and one on which
Ambassador Johnson's counsel, born
Of long experience in the Far East,
will prove invaluable.

The Presidents Pupers

The general public, surely, has
been interested to learn that Presi-
dent Roosevelt intends to maintain
his personal archives intact; but
scholars, much more particularly, are
delighted to know that his CORE
spondence is not to be destroyed. He
has been Chief Executive during a
period which undoubtedly will puzzle
historians. Also, it happens that he
has played larger and a more
dynamic part in events than most of
his predecessors have attempted
Logically enough, it follows that
chroniclers and interpreters of his
administration will need all the ma
terial they can find. The library to
be built at Hyde Park should meet
their requirements, and its distin-
guished sponsor is entitled to their
gratitude for his foresight and gen.
erosity.
Some, of course, will regret that
MIR. Roosevelt has not preferred to
give his papers to the Library of Con-
gress, where they might be asso-
ciated with those of Presidents WASH
ington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe,
Jackson, Van Buren, Pierce, Lincoln,
Johnson, Garfield, Cleveland, Benja-
min Harrison, Mckinley, Theodore
Roosevelt and Taft. But there was a
practical reason why this policy may
have been rejected. Much of MIR.
Roosevelt's correspondence still is
current, he will wish to have it
available for his own use in years to
come. Just as President Wilson'S
files are at Princeton for biographi-
cal purposes, the White House ar
chives now being developed will be
wanted by Mr.. Roosevelt himself and
his family and biographers. Presi-
dent Hoover, It will be remembered.

Defines Understanding
or Assimilation.

To the Editor of The Star:
In one of the last weeks issue of The
Star there appeared letter in which
the writer suggested that, since the Jews
cannot be assimilated in any country,
they be given land in Africa and Asia
where all the Jews can go and be happy
together.
Please permit me as Jewess to ex-
press how I understand the meaning
Of assimilation. The ancient prophets
and patriarchs did not mean not to min
gle with people who have advanced to
spiritual attributes. The Jew was not
supposed to assimilate satanic quail
ties. The wrestling of Jacob with the
Angel is good example.
I feel the Jews have now another
chance to go back to the spirit of their
heritage. which is humility, patience and
faith; above all, love for God and con-
tinual prayer that God may make them
and all humanity see that Messianic
cycle is at hand, and that only through
the sovereign power of q Messiah can
the Jew, and all humanity, be saved from
the satanic power of the present Pha-
raohs. ETHEL M HUNT,

preparatory to moving on Alexandria
with two or three assistants, when
word came of disturbingly unro-
mantle reactions across the Potomac
River.
Alexandria does not want to be
misunderstood. She is as romantic
as any city in the country, by and
large. Her ancient churches and
parsonages and courtrooms are
redolent with connubial memories of
Colonial days. The fact that her
original name was Belle Haven would
seem to indicate a traditional appre-
citation Of sentimental values with
heart-futtering implications. 1t is
because of her glamorous and glori-
Gus past that Alexandria is deter
mined to guard so jealousy her pres
ent and future reputation.

duction matrimony. Cupid found

That threw serious monkey wrench
into Elkton's marriage mill, and

eyes toward Alexandria, where mar

minute transaction. But Alexan-
drias response was a stony stare.

Defends Presidents Handling
OF Jewish Question.
rso fha Editnr ~ Thn Etors


In your Letters to The Star" person
who signs himself Neither German nor
Jew" asks number of questions re-
garding President Roosevelts policy on
the question of. oppressed minorities
abroad. Obviously any true seeker of
information should be enlightened May
I, Mr.. Editor, be permitted an attempt
to this end?
The obvious intent of Neither German
nor Jew is to criticize, and, If possible,
discredit the Presidents action in behalf
of oppressed minorities. To gain this
end he asks the ridiculous question,
whether We will invite all the Chinese
and Spaniards to this country? He
states further, "The Germans are now
using harsh methods, only after first
using reasonable methods with Jews in
Germany" What, pray, is reasonable
way" OF stealing mans money, destroy
ing his home and property, depriving
him of his livelihood, and exterminating
him or his family? If these things were
to happen to Neither German nor Jew"
would he feel that they were reason
able?
The oppression of minorities in sew
eral foreign lands, the mass murder of
peaceful peoples, and the reign of ter
rorism unparalleled in history has gone
far enough. Shall we sit idly by, secure
in only the thought that lit can't happen
here? Isn't 1t about time that the
civilized nations took action to stop this
brutality? Millions of Americans will
trality law SO as to Immediately stop all
trade with aggressor nations. We cannot
have peace and prosperity at home as
long as these conditions continue. For
eign trade is the life blood of our in
dustry, and without it our factories will
stand idle, our workers unemployed. Can
We possibly gain If we do nothing while
millions are being murdered, and sell
nothing but cannon, which will eventu-
ally be turned against us?
I believe that President Roosevelt's
policy is dictated first, by that finest
attribute of the civilized Christian, q
feeling Of compassion for the oppressed.
of our Nation is proven by the manner
in which all our countrys leaders, of
every shade of political complexion,
rallied behind him in recent weeks. Only
Neither German nor Jew" is missing.
When We recall what happened to
Czecho-S -Slovakia, a peaceful democracy
modelled after our own Government, it
is reassuring indeed to hear that our
ornaments will be modernized and re-
plenished. We carry insurance on our
persons. Isn't it logical then that we
should insure our most priceless pos
session, the safety of the Nation? We,
who realize that we cannot survive with
out freedom, will not begrudge paying
our share of the premium.

them necessary to his work. The reader
who prizes too closely will come away dis
gusted, as many do, because all he has
seen is the bony framework.
He misses almost totally the flesh and
blood, the laughter, the irony, the sar-
casm, humanity. the fine glow which
shines ruddy at this season in "A
Christmas Carol" but is all over and
through the remainder of that wonder
full shelf.
After all, writer has right to his
mannerisms.
They are merely small part of him;
they must be magnified, played up. to
become really firing.
Charles Dickens had his share Of them,
but they were not all him, alone; they
were part of his age, in all its mag
nif1cent hypocrisy, which the world has
yet to prove, we think, was not good
thing, after all. Maybe little hypocrisy,
magnif1cently carried on, would be
far, far better thing for this age than
any substitute, such as sophistication,
upon which it prides itself.
X X
"A Christmas CAROL contains far less
of the typical mannerisms than almost
any other work Of the master.
Perhaps this was due to the fact that
he was working in medium which was
perfectly natural to him. The story is,
indeed, with entrances and exits, play,
and nothing more.
1t is neither short story, although it
is short, nor novel, although 1t is al
most as long as short one.
The characters are marked off, one
after the other, but without the typical
accent which has too often repelled mod
ern readers.
More than this, however, "A Christmas
Carol" is best read at this time of year
because 1t does contain, without unneces-
sary f1ub-dub, the true essence In words
of what we like to think of as the Eng
lish Christmas.
Somehow thousands of persons think
of our Christmas in terms of the tradi-
tional English Christmas, and if they
90 II Is mostly because Dickens wrote
this one tale.
Every year the number of persons
grows who think it proper and necessary
to read it before Christmas.
There are in this city, as over the
world many men and women who have
read "A Christmas Carol as many as
10, 20, 80 times-at yearly intervals.
The more times they read it, the more
they come to look upon it as the perfect
expression of their kind of Christmas.
Here is the hearty good cheer, the ruddy
health which somehow they have come
to associate with the season. If it is
not so everywhere, and with every one,
it is surely not Charles Dickens fault.
He did his best.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trdce1peH.

"The Pickwick Papers" is not q book
for any particular time Of the year.
Unlike "A Christmas Carol" which is
best read from now on, the earlier work
is good for any hour at any season.
Somehow winter seems the best time
to read Dickens.
He is an antidote to much Of our pres
ent high-powered fiction, which, good
as it is has about 1t the unrest and un-
certainly of this period.
What relief to go back to the master
who was sure about something, in an
age when they were sure about every
thingl
All the uncertainty which has washed
down on the world since the Great War
Is utterly lacking, thank Heaven, from
the works Of Charles Dickens.
That opening scene in Hard Times"
the masterful Gradgrind, the bounding
Bounderby. blossomed only in an age
when people thought they knew great
deal more than they did.
The social graces, for instance, were
looked upon with a great deal Of sus-
picions. Ballroom dancing was in dis
favor with many people of that age, both
IN this country and in England, but
Charles Dickens liked nothing better
than to tell about it, and to depict its
joys, as he did in the great Christmas
story.
The flavor of Dickens grows a little
stranger, with the passing of the years,
but it is always good, II it ever was good.
Dickens is not good for everybody.
Not every reader, young or old, likes
his tnsistence on the same sort Of SEN
tence time after time. Unless one Is
Sold on this writer, the repetition for
page or more tends to become tiresome.
We must confess, in re-reading Dick
ems, that we wish he wouldn't bear down
so. 1t is the method of oratory, rather
than that of writing
Yet the emphasis, though it may be
slightly disagreeable at the time, un-
doubtedly does help in fixing the pic
lures which the novelist drew. These
pictures, after all, are the real Dickens.
More than most, then or now, he had
the ability to make his readers see what
he saw, and he did it, in part, by bear
ing down heavily on what he saw.
This seeing, too, was of mental details
as well as Of physical ones. If he had a
picture of Gradgrind who insisted on
facts, facts, facts, he stressed the facts
until the reader is slightly weary of
them-as he intended he should be-
Dickens is full of these mannerisms.
Many a modern lover of the novel, as
both art and entertainment, has been
repelled from these marvellous works by
concentrating too assiduously on the
mannerisms, which were, after all, sim
ply the skeletal Dickens. He found
