Government Clerks why
AS to Acknowledging
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The STAR
Why, in these days when there is so
much talk about economy in the Gov
ernment, why, say, is it necessary to
have the cooling system operating?
On these lovely May days. when the
air is so balmy and you delight in hav-
ing your windows open to enjoy this
same balmy weather, we are obliged to
shut out all that loveliness and sit in
unpleasant GOODNESS unnecessarily. While
I admit the saving would be small, on
the other hand consider 1t an un-
necessary expenditure Of money. Any
one suffering from sinus trouble (and
their name is legion, including this
writer) is certainly not deriving any
good from this cooling system.
It seems to me June l or even IS
would be time enough to start. Can't
something be done about this as some
people really have to work for their
living. M. BARON.

Mussolini's Speech.


The speech of Premier Mussolini at
Genoa Saturday was the most lucid def
milton the world has had of Italian for
eign policy in recent months. Besides
revealing several new facts, it showed
more clearly to what lengths the Rome
Berlin axis actually reaches.
The democracies now know little
more definitely what they face in doc
trinal" war. There was no hedging IN
the dictator's warning that the totalitar-
ian states will rise as bloc to fight
them to the end. The words manifest
Il Duce's conviction that democracy is
not only foe to be conquered at home,
but eventually to be met and subdued
throughout the world.
He speaks at length to explain that
his calm acceptance Of Anschluss was
not for fear of complications, but was
by choice, and he adds: 1T was our con-
science. our sense of honor, our loyal
friendship for Germany that counseled
us to do what we have done" Further
more, 1.-The events did not come to us by
surprise and had been foreseen in their
logical development" There are at least
grounds for suspicion that he knew be-
forehand that Hitler would march into
Austria and had decided not to interfere.
One really significant part Of the
speech was revelation that the negotia-
tions now going on with France may not
result in an agreement. Such failure
would be a distinct blow to the settle
ment Great Britain has already made
with Mussolini and to Prime Minister
Chamberlain realistic" policy. France
and Great Britain are so closely inter-
locked in their foreign policy-through
necessity for common defense-that a
realistic" settlement by Great Britain
with Italy can mean little without
subsequent similar arrangement on the
part of France. For, If the issues be-
tween France and Italy are to be per-
mitted to remain live threats of war
England's chances for peace are seriously
compromised.
France, being so vitally affected by the
ultimate decision in the Spanish civil
war. is unable to go as far as Great
Britain in binding herself to the pos
sibility of victory for General Franco.
No amount of aid could recompense
France for the loss of her southern
frontier to the Nazi-Fascist bloc, for
with puppet Of Hitler and Mussolini
In control Of Spain, France could be
Systematically looted of her foreign pos
sessions. The power and strategic po-
sition Of Hitler and Mussolini would be
such that war would be but useless
shedding of blood. In any event, France
would be completely sterilized as far as
Central and Southeastern Europe are
concerned.
The apparent hitch in the negotiations
points to possible Italian demand that
France accept a Franco victory un-
qualifiedly. If France yields it will set
q new high price on realism"

Questions the Morality
Of a Popular Radio Song
Tn the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The broadcasting companies are sup
posed to be under censorship. which is
supposed to exclude all matter which
offends the public morals or good taste.
While the New Apple Tree" which has
been the song hit of the radio for the
past few weeks, may adorn tale. 1t Ger
tainly does not point to moral. On
the other hand, it is calculated to corrupt
public morals by tainting the air with
unwholesome suggestiveness. The epi-
sode narrated evolves seduction. lynch
ing, and disrespect for parenthood. But
worst of all, Is the gleeful satisfaction
which the son is made to derive from
the scandal and disgrace OF his father,
who is made the victim OF the outraged
community in requirement for seduction,
while out on q wild jamboree. The son
makes the occasion one OF merriment
because "They took rope and hung
him on the limb, on branch OF the OLD
apple tree"
Because of the frequency OF the grue-
some occurrence of lynching, this Ma
tion's mind has grown callous and It's
conscience sere over the enorm1ty OF
this iniquity. But this is the first in
stance which I can recall where the
son exalts i'll song and story over the
moral collapse and downfall OF his
own father.
Fflial disrespect is closely akin to I'M
piety According to the lore OF the
scripture, Shem and Jepth put on the
mantle Of charity and walked backwards
to cover their fathers nakedness when
Noah became the victim Of drunken
debauchery. For this they were re-
warded with divine favor. On the other
hand, Ham, who laughed at his fathers
predicament, was cursed through the
generations.
have been amazed that our clergy
men, moralists and social purists have
allowed this shameful song to poison
the imagination and corrupt the minds
of youth for SO long time without
protest or remonstrance.
It Is interesting to contrast the moral
of the "New Apple Tree" with the
Haunted Oak" by Paul Lawrence Dun
bar, which was first published in the
Century Magazine. Many of his critics
think that the poet reached the highest
expression Of q genius in his erudite
condemnation Of lynching through ar
tistic portrayal. Experience Of witness
ing the agonies of q helpless victim en-
tered the heart of the oak and so shocked
its sensibilities the sap refused to flow in
its veins and the leaves to cover its
boughs, and even the passerby as he
goes through its ghostly shadow Is filled
With horror ct the memory OF this awfW

Robert Economies

Robert Economies.
Said Ethelinda: Robert dear,
Before our troth we plight
You must economic fear
And study day and night
To put some extra cash away.
Although true love is nice,
You know we'll have the rent to pay
And bills for coal and ice"
Then Robert gazed at her a while.
She seemed precious prize.
He answered with tender smile,
I'm wise sweetheart; I'm wise"
Thenceforth he seldom went to shows,
He lived on milk and pie.
He wore thin shoes and rusty hose
And last years hat and tie.
AS to the savings bank he strobe,
A stack of dimes to leave,
Fair Ethelinda past him rode
With Gerald Gildersleeve.
In vain he tried as she went past
To throw naughty stare.

1t nearly singed his hair.
He sought to drive the dumps away
And climbed high up to see
A moral and instructive play;
A quarter was the fee.
And there midst fashions gay parade
Fair Ethels form he saw,
Where, for two seats five bucks were paid
BY Scaddington Degraw.
And later, when he went to MUNICH
A biscuit DER the way,
He saw Fair Ethel with a bunch
OF swells in caffay.
And that's why Bob went out and bought
A sporty uniform
And tried to eat more than he ought
And. set pace SO warm
That Ethelinda-girls draw nigh
And heed her dreadful fate!-
Woke up to what dashing guy
Bob was! But all too late!

The Japanese soldiers biggest brag is that he is as good as five Chinese soldiers. When the Japa- nese mechanical equipment is work ing well and the lines wheel like clockwork through well developed territory, the boast is no idle one. But as the lines spread out, and the countryside grows wilder, the Japanese soldier discovers to his own dismay that he is not as good as five Chinese soldiers. It depresses, puzzles him.

frequency. The big calibre siege guns need reboring. Trucks need repairing. Sensitive firing instru ments need adjustment, checking. Ammunition has to move farther, faster But communications are hazardous in an undeveloped in- terior. Repairs have to wait. Conse- quently, the aim of eroded guns is poorer. Trucks limp. Instruments go haywire. Ammunition is not always on hand where it's needed most.
 These are the simple facts be- hind the Japanese faltering in North China. And, unfortunately, the high command of the Japanese army made one bad mistake at the beginning of the var. They sold the Japanese people the idea that the expeditionary thrust into China was mere incident" The Japanese people supported the army because they thought the Chinese incident" would be a sort of military picnic.

Tuesday p. M, at Homer-Union
high school house.
Wednesday a. M, at Tunnel Hill
school house.
Wednesday p. M, at Hackney

Farmers are urged to take ad-.
vantage of this opportunity to have
their soil tested. Samples may be
taken from as many different
places in each field as would be
necessary to include each soil type
within the field. Representative
samples may be obtained by using
a spade or auger and obtaining a
portion of soil from at least the first
six or eight inches of ground.
In order to give the best results
the soil samples should be fairly
dry. Don't forget the days and
places and avail yourself of this op-
portunity to get your soil tested
