Foreign Capitals Role.
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

from the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
In pointing to the usefulness Of for
etgn capital as a means of developing
the natural resources Of poorer nations
former Ambassador Culbertson does not
deny that in some instances 1t has been
used to exploit rather than benefit. Pub
lie attention has been 50 directed to these
abuses that loans OF American capital to
foreign lands have been criticized. Yet
Mr.. Culbertson's statement that the ex-
port Of private capital to other coun-
tries is no more to be censured than the
export Of goods, with which 1t is closely
related, is basically true.
Pursuit of some socialistic Utopia by
q nation such as Mexico needs foreign
capital for its development costs heavily
when it involves violation OF the legiti-
mate interests Of outsiders. BY depriving
the Mexican people of the opportunities
of work and wages in the effort to attain
Its objectives of popular welfare the
Mexican government harms its own citi-
zens more than the foreign capitalists
which it processes to combat
Respect for the sanctity Of contracts
is a necessity both for the investment Of
capital and for orderly procedure under
international law. Flouting Of the law
Of nations by any country brings in its
train the further impoverishment OF its
people, no matter what form Of supposed
social idearsm u used ~ m excuse.

''Community of Interest,""

There have been occasions when Pres
adent Roosevelt has thought it necessary
to set class against class. but in his
speech at Denton, Maryland, on Monday
he chose to argue for community of
interest" Especially, it appeared to be
his purpose to establish bond of mutu-
ality between the agrsriarf population
and urban dwellers. That minority"
he said, with particular reference to his
opposition, lis trying to drive a wedge
between the farmers on the one hand
and their relatives and their logical
partners in the cities on the other"
But this solidarity which Mr.. Roosevelt
90 strongly urged represents novel doc
trine. He himself has not always desired
It. His party repeatedly has insisted
that the distinction should be preserved.
Thomas Jefferson, founder Of organized
democracy, declared: Those who Iabour
in the earth are the chosen people of
God" And the Sage of Monticello con-
tinued: Let us never wish to see our
citizens occupied at work bench or
twirling distaff. Carpenters, masons,
smiths, are wanting in husbandry: but,
for the general operations OF manufac-
ture, let our workshops remain in
Europe" Also, the third Chief Executive
let 1t be known that he had moral
grounds for his position. "Cultivators Of
the earth" he wrote, ARE the most val
liable citizens. They are the most vigor-
GUS, the most independent, the most
virtuous and they are tied to their coun-
try, and welded to its liberty and in
terests, by the most lasting bonds AS
long therefore as they can find employ
ment in this line, would not convert
them into mariners, artisans, or any,
thing else. I should perhaps
wish to turn them to the sea in pref
erence to manufacturers; because, COM
pairing the characters Of the two classes,
/ md the former the most valuable
citisens. consider the class of artificers
as the panders of vice, and the instru-

To the Editor of the Star:
TN REFERENCE to your editorial of
August a titled Rebuff to the A. F.

Mr.. Green should make the next move,
Mr.. Roosevelt would pull the strings.
He has no choice than to destroy the
union labor movements, to put organ

way to the door, all right, and next Mr..
John L. Lewis will be given the gate in
words not so mild, but just as signifi-
cant. LaborS civil war consequently IL
made to order for Mr.. Roosevelt and.
naturally, he would take no sides in it
other than to accelerate the process.
William Green nevertheless is entitled
to the sympathy of the country. Like
the President, MIR. Green is on the de-
fensive, a role forced on each by John
L. Lewis. The President, however, is
representative Of the major and para
mount public interest, while Mr.. Green
is forced to do battle against the strategy
Of Mr.. Lewis, the aim Of which is q
dictatorship Of union labor-that Is,
union labor control of government. Mr..
Green succeeded Samuel 0ompers, who
years ago realized the truth that no one
could ever keep more than 10 per cent
Of all working workers organized in
unions. The practical Gompers con-
centrated on organising craft workers.
In appealing to the vanity Of the un-
skilled workers to control the bulk vote

poses, John Lewis put William Green In

Dear sir: There certainly Is 4 tang
IN the air that hints Of the coming au-
tumn. The silent birds, the crickets
chirping, and cool nights.
You mentioned about bird watching
, IN the evenings after supper as being
especially good this time Of year. That
is the time that is 50 enjoyable, for it
Is cool and many birds can be observed
while resting meath . nice oak or maple.
This evening there were dozens Of
night hawks circling very low over our
feld and house. They came very close
to me, SO that I could see the bars under
their long wings. Higher up in the air
purple martins. This Is the first time
that have seen nishthawks 20 very
close.

"The crows and jays seem to be the
only birds who make much noise now,
excepting the little goldhnch, but he
doesn't make noise, anyhow-he sings.
Yet bluejays are almost musical when 4
number congregate in Our trees. They
sound as II they were talking to each
other.
Several times quite a number of crows
have let out loud clamor suddenly, in
our orchard. and kept 1t up for a few
moments. Then all at once they stop
as suddenly as they started. What was
the cause? An owl? A cat? I tried to
get near to see, but the weeds were too
high, and do not love snakes.
by the way, why do these following
birds never show themselves around
here: Sparrow hawk, pigeon hawk, Bal
timore oriole, se-breasted grosbeak,
loggerhead shrike, cedar or Bohemian
waxing, sapsucker, hairy woodpecker?
These are few that I've looked for.
which are listed for this part of the
country and which I've never seen, ex-
cept one, the oriole.
Your column is the first article to be
read when I get The Evening Star Yours
for more birds. Sincerely, @. s."

1t Is interesting to contrast this whole
some attitude with that OF one who may
fancy himself to be conservationist
The latter asks for nothing less than
the abolition Of ali buzzards, crows, cats
and English sparrows.
They all spread disease, he claims
Haven't germs been found on the feet
of-you guessed it-buzzards, crows, cats
and English sparrows?
1t is useless to tell this conservation
ist" that germs also might be found on
the feet Of dogs. men, starlings, cardinals,
bears, elephants and angels.
Germs have way of getting around
X X
Such wholesale slaughter as this gen.
tleman advocates is based on nothing
much except spleen and Door thinking,
1t is just this sort of pseudo-conserva-
ton which has caused SO much trouble
especially in the United States, by up
setting Natures apple cart
1t is easy enough to jump from the
fact of finding few frog cholera germs
on buzzard's feet to the belief that
hogs must be protected.
And then, what easier method than
the wholesale killing of buzzards?

MIR. Lewis age as . detriment, butt
1t has not been 30 long since Mr..
Roosevelt was urging reorganization Of
the Supreme Court on the ground that
most of its Justices were too old to carry
on their duties satisfactorily. He wased
q bitter and incorporating battle for
authority to appoint new justices-up to
q total> Of fifteen. If necessary-for al!
members Of the Supreme Bench who re-
fused to retire at seventy.
The President is, Of course, entitled to
believe that Supreme Court justices lose
their efficiency when, they pass the three
score-and-ten mark. The Democratic
voters of Maryland are entitled to know.

been overlooked thus far-how he recon-

THIS AND THAT
BY CH1RLES E. TRAcEWELL.

What the advocate Of such ruthless
ness does not know, nor care about, is to
find out what good the buzzard does, and
whether the state Of the Nation would
not be worse without buzzards than with
them.
He ncr any one else can know, be-
cause 1t has never been brought to pass.
There are many real nature students,
however, who would be willing to tell
them that man cannot jugsle with any
part OF natures scheme without running
the risk Of creating trouble.
The man who brought the starlings to
this country, for instance, had no idea
ne was doing wrong, but he did not reck-
on with the lack OF natural controls in
the United States.
Lacking these, the starting has gone
on to great f1ocks, whereas in its own
native country it is no such nuisance.
NO, our correspondents attitude IS
much better. Not to be so narrowly wise,
as the 'conservationist" with blood in his
eyes and heart, but to be interested, and
to try to see the good-and to see it.
This is the attitude of the real bird

In the belief that the Creator knew what
He was doing in the first place.
A crow in the sky is not Just a germ
carrier, but fine bird, real song bird,
If you please. according to the scientists.
His melodious cav in the evening is
something we'll worth hearing.
1t Is not heard much nDWadavs. but
probably in the years to come there will
be crow revival, for ornithologists are
coming around to the belief that the
crow also Is to be numbered among the
birds which really do the farmer more
good than harm.

Our correspondent wants TO know why
certain birds are not seen.
No doubt the birds are in the vicinity.
but no one person can see them all.
1t Is curious fact that a certain
species will nest in one yard, but never
60 near yard only block away.
This accounts for the facs that no two
| persons list of birds seen in a given
neighborhood will ever be the same.
The smaller hawks will be seen only
now and then, except under very un-
usual conditions.
Indeed. it might have been a pigeon
hawk which caused the flock OF crows to
scream all of a sudden, and then sud-
denly stop, as 1t flew away, rather than
an owl or cat.
Smaller birds, at the sight OF a hawk,
simply scoot for cover, and leave a
neighborhood entirely, but no doubt a
crow would not be thus intimidated, but
would set up a great clamor of warning
for its smaller neighbors.
We find it impossible to believe all
bad OF the crow, or any other creature.

Jefferson even distrusted educators.
He insisted that he had more confidence
in plowman than in a professor. It
was his ambition TO center the powers Of
government In voters who owned agricul.
tural real estate and obtained their living
from its cultivation. And perhaps his
philosophy was sound. In any event It
is worthy of mention at the moment
when Mr.. Roosevelt is appealing for 4
community OF interest which runs
contrary to the traditions of his party.

Letters to The Star
Primary Vote in Second
Virginia District.
To the Editor Of the Star:

Auhoiy VVkC HI 0CCVIlu
Virginia District.
To the Editor OF the Star:
THE defeat Of Norman r. Hamilton in
the recent primary election for the
second Virginia district Is described in
the press as a New Deal setback. Ac-
tually, Hamilton was denied q second
nomination by the very same element of
the electorate which was responsible for
his success in the 1896 campaign Then
New Dealers nominated him; recently
they punished him.
Bear in mind that to qualify in Harry
Byrd's free State the voter must have
$3.50 in the poll tax chest six months
prior to election. In the second district
population Of $50 900 casts $4,000 votes.
In 1885 Hamilton offered himself as
100 per cent supporter OF the President.
He attacked the Byrd-supported incum-
bent, Colgate Darden, for his failure to
follow Roosevelt He swore eternal 10y
atty to the New Deal. Despite the lin
tied franchise he won by 1900 votes.
Like many another, Hamilton deserted
the administration. When his adher-
ents fought the Byrd machine locally he
denied them his support. They were
shown his true colors when he voted on
the wage-hour and reorganization bills,
against the leadership of the President.
Hamilton's apostasy won him new
friends: it lost him vital votes.
Flnctioning within the fettered Vir-
ginia Democratic process, the New Deal
ers did what could be done and removed
q turncoat from the councils of the
party. In doing SO they returned an
honest man to Congress who cannot be
dangerous to the administration. Darden
has known convictions.
Significantly, that ardent New Dealer,
John j. O'Connor, chairman of the Rules
Committee, interfered" in this primary
for is fellow New Dealer, Hamilton.
Congressional interference" is all
sweetness and light; presidential Inter
ference" strikes at the foundations Of
government.
Perhaps O'Connor will explain, why
his junket to the Virginia district, to ex
tol the virtues Of Candidate Hamilton
before the Virginia electorate, was not
an exercise OF the same right recently
resorted to by President Roosevelt when
he called O'Connor the most effective
obstructionist in the House."

Capital Parade Column
Draws Criticism.

To the Editor Of The Star:
MAY call attention to an obviously
incorrect statement appearing in
"The Capital Parade" column. In view
OF the fact that the authors of this COL
umn ask the public not to be swayed
by q tide Of crude emotion" the pre-
medltated bias OF the statement appears
unfortunate. No layman, no cleric, no
student Of history or military science can
believe that "the Leftist associations of
the Spanish Loyalists have already
caused the church to side with Gen
Franco" Neither Mr.. Alsop nor Mr..
ikintner can produce evidence to show
that majority of the Spanish Catholics
naymen and clerics) are supporting Gen.
Franco with his German, Italian and
Moorish infidels. 1t would be absurd to
claim that the Basque Catholics are
atheists and Communists because they
support the republican government
1t would be Just as logical to say that all
American Catholics who are Democrats
are receiving money from Moscow. It
IS equally absurd to claim that the
Loyalists had anything to do with turn
ing the church toward Gen. Franco. We
must remember that 1t was the rebels
under Franco who destroyed the nom
combatant holy city of Guernica and
bombed Madrid Let us be honest :.
the Irish Catholics and the Spanish
Catholics fighting for republican Spain
were able to choose their side the
church, prisoner in italy and Germany,
hemmed in by Fascist bayonets ;. was
not able to choose.
The triumph Of Fascism in Spain
means the end of Christianity, as in
Italy, Germany and Austria. Mussolini
wrote on the question OF religion: Ease
ism is the strongest Of all heresies that
strikes at the doors Of the churches :.
Away with these temples that are doomed
to destruction; for our triumphant heresy
Is destined to illumine all hearts and
brains" There can be no church along
side Of Fascism. Mussolini, an atheist,
is boss of Italy; Hitler, pagan, the boss
Of Germany; Stain, an atheist, the boss
Of Soviet Russia. II the church were
free 1t would not support Franco
