They seem to endure. rather than en-.
Joy, life, which Is exactly the opposite to
their suggestion at happier times Of the
year. Surely robins and all birds love
springtime the best.
Fall is a time of leaving for them, in
this climate, and no doubt there must be
some of the pain Of leaving in their little
minds.
That is why. we believe, they stand 50
quietly, even sullenly, on the lawn, not
particularly caring whether they catch
the early worm or not.
k*&
Most of our robins have gone SOUTH
The few left will leave almost any
time, now, joining up with others as they
60 along.
A few will stay until late in the fall,
but the bands which will be seen at that
time will not have originated here
The members will be robins which have
left the north, and have joined others to
make the complete journey.
1t is believed that this helps them In
securing food on long trip.
X \
Many who love the robins have never
seen this group fight, but this is only be-
time.
Many bird friends are not at home at
the time when the crowd flies down.
Usually this Is in the middle Of the
afternoon. some time in late September
or early October.
1t is widely known that the robins
leave the south singly, joining in groups
as they fly north. and then dropping out
one by one, but it is not always realized
that they adopt much the same method
of helping each other in the autumn
migration.
In the southwark trip they seldom re-
main In any yard more than few min
utes, evidently tending to shun what
formerly they loved.
They stick mostly to wooded areas, In
these little bands. consisting from two
to four dozen robins. They drop down
on lawns only from time to time, seldom
remaining for more than is to 80 min
utes.
This is the time to see them, but many
watchers are at work, and those who
may be at home often are too busy to
watch.
A curious fact is that many who see
them fail to realize what they are.
Only the confirmed bird watcher, to
whom any bird is OF interest, is likely
to realize that the birds on the lawn
are robins.
They are rather rusty looking, not the
splendid fellows of spring.
They do not sing. and they lack the
generally alert look of these favorites of
the Nation.
The watcher has forgotten about rob-
ins-sometimes he fails to realize that
these birds before him spread in a
skirmishing line across the grass are his
old friends giving him last show be-
fore next spring.

the channels Of trade as one means Of
removing causes Of war.
The partisan character of the recip-
rocal trade program has long been over
shadowed by the stanch support given
1t by a substantial number of influential
leaders within the Republican party.
Even in the last campaign the Repub-'
lican party was not united in assaulting
the program, although that was one OF
the chief points of the Republican Ma
tional Committees attack.
The conviction has long been held in
more fair-minded Republican quarters
that one of the chief deterrents to
American prosperity was the loss Of for
eign trade incident to the raising Of i'm
port barriers Of every description
throughout the world. To a great ex-
tent these were reprisals against the
Hawley-Smoot Tariff Act, which put
American tariffs on the whole at the
highest point they had ever been. The
desirability Of clearing away those
obstacles by negotiation Of mutual re-
ductions Of tariffs and repeal of direct
restrictions. which have virtually ex-
cluded American products from some
markets. has been widely recognized.
Mr.. Hull stands his ground we'll in
justifying his policies in all but one re-
spect, namely explanation Of the con-
fiict between the trade program and the
reduction Of agricultural production to
scarcity basis. His only justification
for the clashing policies is the exigencies
of the emergency which the Republicans,
through their policies of extreme pro-
tectionism, had left to the Democrats
in 1898.
This is more fundamental division
OF effort than appears on the surface.
The maximum benefit cannot be ac-
corded the American farmer until do
mestic and foreign economic policies are
brought into closer relation and CO.
ordinated either in the direction Of a
more narrow domestic economy which
would neglect foreign for domestic mar
kets, or broader international economy
in which an expanding foreign trade,
which requires expanding domestic pro-
duction, would be the keystone.

Impossible to Be Both
American and Communist.

To the Editor of the Star:
T VIGOROUSLY challenge the STATE
ments of John r. Carol in his re-
cent letter denouncing Representative
Martin L. Dies. We can dispense with
the capitalist issue and expose Mr. Car
rolls true color and caliber easily, but
for his information let me state that I
have been poor, hard-working man all
my life. and that am neither Fascist
nor a Nazi. but true American.
In the first place it is simply impos-
sible to be both an American and a
Communist, and in the second place
Communism does not even bear the
slightest resemblance to democracy In
the third place the founding fathers Of
this Nation never intended in any sense
to protect the destroyers of their own
handiwork, and defy any man to show
me one single country where Commun-
ism exists in any degree that is not IN
constant turmoil as result Of Com
munist tactics. In the fourth place the
inventors of democracy-the Greeks
could not make it work, and it has been
tried for thousands of years with the
result that our civilization has steadily
declined. Therefore 1t seems to me that
it is high time we faced the truth long
before either Hitler. Mussolini or the
Japanese war lords denounced it.
Communism is moral leprosy";; Ease
ism is political drug addiction; democ-
racy is "labyrinthian fairy castle, foS-
ever haunted by the utopian will-o'-the-
wisp and forever infested with rats,
termites and parasites"

Misleading Word in Headline
On Letter Corrected.
To the Editor Of The Star:
7 WAS both shocked and amazed to find
the heading of my letter in The Star
of September 2 read "Tydings Attacked
for Showing Independence Of Thought"
Tydings defended" instead of "at-
tackled" would have been correct, for the
letter showed whole hearted support for
Senator Tydings.
It is an alarming and disturbing spec
tacle when the whole machinery of the
Government is brought against Senator
Tydings because he will not become
"yes man." He is fighting. not merely
for himself. but to vindicate the rights
Of the sovereign State of Maryland, as
well as every other State in the Union.
May we remain free people, free to Sc
lect our own representatives, without
bribery, threats or reprisals. Such was
the purpose Of the founders of this great
Republic. May that purpose never be
destroyed. H. N. CUMMINGS.

TOWN PAPER BEcOlEs PRODUCER COOPERATIVE

The cooperatOr takes great ple sure
in announcing that wi tn this issue it
has become a Producer Coopera tive. Au-
thOrized to do SO by vote Of the Jour-
nails tic Club, it now shares its avail
able profits among all those working on
the paper, in proportion to the number
Of hours ca CHI devotes to the work.
At present 5e9d Of the net profit is
being marked for this purpose; the
rest Of the profit being set aside for
reserves and for the growth Of the paper.
All who contribute to the paper, in
GLIDING as semblers, typists, mimeo-
grapher, stencil cutters, and all other
contributors keep list Of the work
done and the time taken to do it. This
list is to be turned in the sixth Of
each month and the share Of each con-
tribut0r determined accordingly. Those
who produce the most in the least time
will, Of course, be- given preference in
assignments.
t present, during the forna tive
period, several members Of the staff,
including the Edi tor-in-Chief plan to.
turn their shares; but al TINA tely
this policy is to be discouraged, to
insure an equi table di S tr i blu tion Of
profits.
The Coopera tor feels that this is an
impOr tant step in its evolution toward
being paper EXPIRE sive Of conrnuni ty
activity and communi ty thought.
Although remunera tiOn for services
will probably at first be small, it
will be equi table, it will be much
as the paper can afford, and it will
grew wi tn the growth Of the paper.

hope that the other lC% will adjust
themselves to the cormuni ty life".
Mr.. Braden calls attention to certain
consl tlons Of occupancy set forth in
the leases, and cautions that failure to
observe those condi ons may result in
Increased nanag cement osts, which must
necessarily be reflec ted in rents". In
other words, mira ton IF the rules

Skillful COnfusion?

CONSENSUS Of inner opinion
~ is the President knew very
we'll what he was saying, meant
every word of it, and his con-
fusing statements are due to a
desire to cover up a new budget
scheme until his message to
Congress. Safe deductions, ap-
parently warranted by the facts,
are these:
Roosevelt. will have a rearma-
ment proposal. It will not be a
spending program in disguise.
It will be founded on the CONT
mental Latin-American defense
idea. It will cost in the neigh
borhood of 500 millions more
next year (total national de-
tense, one and a half billions.
The increase will be financed
by some budgetary arrangement
which mag be called "pay-as-
vou-go" but which will not be
that in effect. The budget will
remain unbalanced, yet less
dangerously The deficit will
appear to be covered at least
partly by recoverable assets"
such as indicated in the RFC
idea. In final truth, of course,
these recoverable assets were to
have gone to paying off the
debt. so the savings may be i'm
preSsive only on paper, and not
in the public pocketbook. At
the same time, the idea Of
spending, without paying cur
rently, will be popular politi-
cally Gas compared with an in
come or sales taxi and Congress
would no doubt eagerly accept
the Presidents leadership along
these lines
At the very least the press
will soon make officials move
over and make room for a new.
conner on the martyrs block.
