DANGEROUS

1t is dangerous to sell a SUBSTITUTE
for 666 just to make three or four
cents more. Customers are your best
assets; lose them and you lose your
business. 66G is worth three or four
times as much as SUBSTITUTE.

peace. On the contrary, 1t can serve
only to widen the breach.
With the c. I. o. preparing to
organize on a permanent basis as a
separate labor organization, it begins
to appear that reunion, If possible
at all, must come from one Of two
sources. The first hope lies with
groups like the international Ladies'
Garment Workers, which has with
drawn from the C. I. O. rather than
participate in a permanent separate
organization, and the powerful
Teamsters' Union, which has threat
ened to withdraw from the A. F. of L.
unless the leaders of that faction put
aside personal differences in the in
terests Of the workers they are sup
posed to represent. Secondly, there
Is always the chance that the rank
and file of labor may in the end
become weary of what must seem to
many of them a needless struggle
and demand that there be an end to
the quarreling which has proved
harmful to all concerned.

Aiming for Defense

With world conditions as turbulent
as they are. 1t is reassuring to learn
that the government is seriously
taking stock of the Nations military
defenses. Naval construction already
is booming under the impetus of
recent appropriations. and now
President Roosevelt and his military
advisers are preparing an Army pro-
gram designed to strengthen greatly
the somewhat neglected land forces.
According to General Malin Craig,
whose annual report as chief of staff
has just been made public, the Army
is sadly in need of such strictly de-
fenSive equipment as anti-aircraft
guns and anti-tank weapons. There
is need also, he said, for searchlights,
fire control apparatus, mediums size
tanks and the new type semi-auto-
matte rifles. With personnel strength
vastly inferior to that of the larger
powers-the United States ranking
eighteenth in number of men under
arms-Gen. Craig correctly reasons
that this deficiency in manpower
should be offset by an appreciable in
crease in mechanical efficiency.
President Roosevelt has studied
closely the defense. needs of this
country in the light of continued
unrest abroad Recent events in
Europe and the Far East must have
given even extreme pacifists pause
for sober reflection. A spirit of ruth
less aggression, once ill concealed in
the dictator ruled countries but lately
Haunted in the faces of all demo-
cratic nations, has become a grave
threat to world peace. Czechoslo-
vakia, Austria, China, Ethiopia have
become object lessons in national
insecurity; their fate should be a
warning to those who oppose ade-
quate expenditures for national
defense
There is little likelihood the ad-
ministration will encounter in the
next Congress the resistance to its
defense plans that developed at the
last session. The chief argument of
the opponents, mostly Republican,
at that time was that there existed
no apparent threat to American
security to justify large military
appropriations. That argument
would have little force today, after
what has happened in Europe and
China. The problem of national
defense transcends partisan politics
and selfish considerations of any kind.
1t is plain the American people will
stand wholeheartedly behind the
administration in it's fortnight de-
termination to make our shores
secure from invasion.

Believes New Deal Should
Be Fully Supported.

To the Editor Of The Star:
What hit me between the eyes in the
Presidents election speech were not his
eulogies of the men he desired to see
elected, out fragments of it pieced to-
gether which embodied and clarified the
New Deal philosophy more explicitly
than had ever been done in any of the
Presidents previous speeches. In my
opinion 1t was his greatest speech.
Here are some of the salient features
Of that address, which should be pom
dered by every citizen:
TOO many of those who prate about
saving democracy are really only inter-
ested in saving things as they were.
"Our economic and social system can
not deny the paramount right of the
millions who toll and the millions who
wish to toll to have it function smoothly
and efficiently.
"A social or economic gain made by
one administration may, and often does.
evaporate into thin air under the next
one.
I'VE do not assume for minute all
that we have done has been successful,
but our economic and social program of
the past five and half years has def
nitely given to the United States more
stable and less artificial prosperity than
any other nation in the world has en-
joyed."
President Roosevelt started the New
Deal. It Is the duty of every citizen to
see that he is given the fullest oppor-
tunity to carry it as near to fruition as
possible. CHARLES ]. SULLIVAN.

we might believe him and we might
even go so far as to think that it is easy
to make distinction between church
and religion
Fortunately. Catholics have some ac-
curate sources of information other than
that proceeding from red Barcelona. In
the light OF sound reasoning, Catholics
are sympathetic with the cause of Gen.
Franco for the following reasons:
Cd We know that 10000 civilians were
murdered in Madrid alone in the first
three months of the war when Loyalists
had control of Madrid.
Cd The Loyalists have murdered at
least 5000 priests, bishops and members
OF religious orders. They have DETAINED,
destroyed and burned every church with
in their area.
CD There is not single Catholic
church open in the Loyalist city OF
Madrid.
a. Mass has not been publicly cele-
brated in the red area of Spain in
more than year.
60 Last year the Loyalists named a
principal street in Madrid after Lenin,
certainly definite proof of their attach
ment to Russia.
co The Catholic primate Of Spain,
who incidentally is the head of all Cath
olic priests and religious orders in Spain
has time and time again sworn that the
Loyalist government is the deadly en-
emy of Christianity.
CD AS to the lady in France pulling"
for the Loyalists, we simply know that
Americas wartime Ambassador to Ger
many declared on April 10, 1888 that,
The thinking people Of France desire q
victory for the Spanish Nationalists of
Franco"
90 Ogden H. Hammond, former Am
bassador to Spain, says: "The army un-
der Franco revolted because the red gov
ernment of Spain destroyed religion,
murdered priests and nuns, and burned
churches. The revolt was q call Of the
decent people of Spain for Franco to
come from Morocco, where he was sta
toned and to save Spain from anarchy"
90 Irwin Laughlin, another former
Ambassador to Spain. said on March 2S,
1888, that, Long before the monarchy
fell the agents of Russia had been busily
at work, not only in the movement to
wreck the monarchy. but in preparing
the crash of the republic that was to
follow, and that they had found to help
them willing knaves and fools of all
classes In the country. The Spanish
revolution was largely brought about by
the operation Of anti-religious influ-
ences." AMERICAN CATHOLIC.

America Protests

President Roosevelt's prompt ac-
ton in recalling Ambassador Hugh
R. Wilson from Berlin, ostensibly for
report and consultation, will meet
with the overwhelming approval OF
this Nation. In no more forceful,
yet dignifed, way could the United
States Government register its pro-
test against the organized fury and
mercilessness to which the Nazi
authorities have subjected the
Reich's already cruelty oppressed
Jewish population.
The President has moved not only
In accordance with our traditional
policy under such circumstances, but
also in response to wave OF con-
demnation OF Germanys procedure,
an outburst OF public indignation
which knows no distinction of race,
creed or color. It is in the name of
an outraged and united American
people that he rebukes the Hitler
regime in the most drastic manner
which the code of diplomacy permits.
The true inwardness of Mr.. Wilson's
withdrawal will not be miSunder-
stood in the Wilhelmstrasse. It sug-
gests that this country desires, at
least until Germany mends its ways,
to have no more traffic with her
government beyond the routine
business which can be attended to
by a minor embassy functionary.
Whether or not the United States
action will impel the Nazi tyrants
to check the current orgy of robbery
and persecution is momentarily be-
side the question. OF more imme-
diate consequence is the undoubted
encouragement that the removal of
Ambassador Wilson will give to the
European democracies, which are no
less incensed than the United States,
to consider similar measures. The
announcement from London that
Prime Minister Chamberlain plans
to ask President Roosevelt to weigh
the possibility Of joint Anglo-Ameri-
can action indicates that the Reich
is likely to hear from more than one
quarter of the civilized world that
the deeds which have brought in
eradicable shame to the German
name cannot and will not pass un-
noticed.

Prefers Jefferson Memorial
To Cherry Trees.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Why all this talk about losing some
cherry trees?
What have the trees ever done for us
in comparison with what Thomas Jeffer-
son did?
OF course, the writer has always been
for a building commemorating one Of
our greatest Presidents on East Capitol
street and at the same time great
stadium to be built adjoining the JET
ferson Memorial, but as that has been
overruled, naturally my sentiments go
for some kind Of a remembrance for
Thomas Jefferson.
In closing I wish to voice my true
American sentiment. Cut down all the
trees where space is needed to build an
outstanding memorial regardless Of this
so-called beauty that prevails few days
a year for shrine that will stand out
for all of us as the years go on and on
and signify liberty and tolerance for all
mankind. FELIX A. URY.

Commemorative Coinage

Today the Treasury officially re-
leases to the public new type of
nickel, replacing the twenty -f1ve-yea
old Indian-Buffalo coinage. BY an
extraordinary coincidence these coins
portray prominent Democrat,
Thomas Jefferson, and his home,
Monticello. The Treasury, however,
is quite broad minded, and will sell
them to Republicans, Socialists, or
Communists alike, at the rate of sixty
cents dozen, first come, first served.
Once again civilization has further
encroached on the buffalo and the
Indian.
If this new coin is intended as
commemorative of the Democratic
party, it is peculiarly apt. This is
the party that has had the genius to
increase the national debt nineteen
billion dollars in six years, so what
could be more appropriate for such
a remarkable feat in finance than a
fiscal token representing one three
d-eighty- -billionth of it?
Not that any real reminder will be
needed when future generations
finally buckle down to the task of
digging out.
Sometime, somehow, the American
taxpayer must replace this huge
amount. With the aid of the Keuffel
& Esse Slide Rule Company, and the
cashiers office of The Star, which
generously loaned forty nickels for
measurement purposes, some inter-
esting figures have been obtained.
The increase in the national debt,
paid in Jeffersonian nickels, would
cover an area of ninety-tWo square
miles. The whole District of Colum-
bia is only seventy miles square. If
tifty-six holes the size of nickel
were drilled right through the earth
from one side to the other, and
filled with these coins, there would
still not be quite enough room for
them all. Laid end to end, they
would stretch so far that it would
take an automobile going sixty miles
an hour no less than nine years and
a half to complete the journey, the
length of which would be equal to
twenty-one trips to the moon. Re-
membering that George Washington
is still famous for having thrown
just one lone dollar across the Rap
pahannock River, there need be no
fear that this administration will
ever be forgotten.

One OF the most agreeable aspects
OF the transformation of the old
c. & o. Canal into a national park
is the decision to maintain in their
employment the thirty-f1ve existing
lock-tenders. All are veterans some
OF many years service. Their pres
ence on the scene will be not only Of
sentimental and picturesque, but also
OF practical and instructive value to
a generation that knows little or
nothing of the delights and the me-
chanics of such waterways.

true OF those sudden sore throats, for
instance, which seem to have possession
OF one, on waking In the middle Of the
night. Often enough they are COM
pletely gone in the morning. Did one
dream the sore throat? Probably not;
the symptom was there, but the night
had magnifying influence. The cold
light Of dawn proved the SYMPTOM WAS
an indication Of nothing much.
y y
In regard to the common cold every
person has right to do little thinking
about his own, because his own colds
probably will be just a little different
from the colds of others. II he UNDER
stands his own symptoms, he will be bet
ter able to understand the symptoms of
other peoples colds.
This will have a two-fold benefit. The
observer not only will be more sympa-
thetic, but he will be able to flee cold
germs when he believes them to be near.
All medical men advise the person
susceptible to colds to keep out of crowds,
and keep away from those who sneeze
But how Is busy person, especially in
many occupations, to keep out of crowds?
And how can one avoid sneezers without
offending them?
1t is plainly an advice Of perfection.
for one to avoid crowds. but what the
careful person may do is to avoid need
less crowding. If the pre-symptoms of a
cold are evident in ones self, it is per-
fectly possible to take steps to beat
them, and thus to save other people
from Catching" it. This is sympathy
for others with vengeance.
The great average person, meeting
with rebuff from another will set it
down to surliness, plain cussedness," or
plain i'll humor, but seldom will he say,
sympathetically, why, the poor fellow
is ILL.,"
If one understands that the common
cold can cause wool gathering OF
render another unable to concentrate on
work, even before any of the common
symptoms appear, he will be more lenient
in judgments, and be able to extend
help at the right time
Good advice is seldom taken-prob-
ably that is why there is so much to
give away-but the one who profers
helpful suggestions will have the honest
feeling that he has done the best he
can in an otherwise troublesome world.
1t is so easy to put the wrong con-
struction on the deeds or lack of deeds
of others. The more one realizes that
sometimes oncoming diseases cause
strange mental variations, the surer one
will be Of not attributing wrong motives
to others. This. after all, is one OF
life's most difficult tasks If we can be
sure that what we think is true, we may
60 ahead, but when we are not sure, and
especially If we have real doubt as to
the justice of our attitude, we are held
back, and properly.
When friend doesn't seem to be able
to collect his thoughts. we had better
think Of him as possibly coming down
with cold. rather than feel that he is
lazy or indifferent. 1t will help him, and
above all, it will help us.

Hugo Worch

Hugo Worch was rich in years, and
his life had been generously lived
from its start. He earned by service
to his felloWmen an immortality
which will not fade. Music lovers
will remember him for his support
OF the art to which they are de-
voted. The valuable collection of
instruments which he gave to the
Smithsonian Institution in 1922 will
be a monument to him through later
generations
But Mr.. Worch's passing provides
occasion for expression of the wish
that his gift to his country might be
sheltered more efficiently. Because
Of the crowded condition of the
National Museum, it has been infeas-
ible to arrange his collection as an
ordered and integrated unit. Each
separate piece is protected and dis
played in its temporary setting, yet
visitors cannot avoid the thought
that there is need for room COM
pletely and especially designated for
the accommodation of the entire
series-one hundred and seventy-flve
harpsichords and pianos in all.
Competent authorities refer to the
collection as the finest of its kind in
the United States. It is the Nations
property, presented by Mr.. Worch as
an act of patriotism the significance
of which cannot be overestimated.
An obligation, however, is involved
in the acceptance of any such bene-
faction. Treasures OF cultural i'm
portance require guarding as we'll as
storage space. They must be exhib-
tied safely; they must be related to
other material on display, yet or
ganized effectively in their natural
association of item to item; they
must be shown to the best possible
advantage, yet shielded from every
danger, including that of confusion.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Did you ever have a morning when
you couldn't collect Jour thoughts?
When you couldn't concentrate, as
they say?
Suspect an oncoming cold.
The common cold Is responsible for
more befuddled mental states than is
realized.
Every one knows there are colds and
colds, but not all know that the effects
of this prevalent ailment begin before
the common symptoms appear.
Long before stuf1edup nose and
watery eyes make the victim realize that
he is coming down with cold" he
may find himself unable to get going"
at his morning tasks.
He may even find himself suffering
from tremendous Crouch" with alb
solutely nothing to account for it In the
normal course of things.
These may be called symptoms of
the common cold, the disease which
takes many forms, and which costs so
much money every year.
If such pre-symptoms are recognized
for what they may be, the threatened
person can take the famous steps in
time
A morning crouch may not be the re-
suit of the might before" but simply the
beginning of cold.
Inability to get going in the morning
tasks may be neither laziness nor wool
gathering" but solely the first genuine
symptom of sneezes yet to come.
How can one be sure Of this?
One cannot, of course, but one may
suspect great deal If either of these
pre-symptoms is combined with a gen.
uine longing for such heavy foods as
beef, potatoes and macaroni.
These are observations which any one
may make; before any one disputes
them, let him wait for their appearance
in himself, and then check to see If he
doesn't come down with common cold
later.
There has been widespread tendency
in recent years, both among physicians
and laymen to attribute more and more
OF what was once called pure cussed-
ness OF the human critter" to physical
disease.
Not only are criminals regarded as
sick, in a very real sense, but laziness
and apathy of school children are set
down to undiscovered ailments. and the
vagaries of the old are more surely seen
to be the work of progressive hardening
of the arteries
The best place to begin on this line is
ones own self.
The self offers the best laboratory in
both human psychology and physiology
which the average person will ever find.
But the two must be combined. 1t is
impossible to regard disease solely as
disease, and mentality solely as intelli-
gence.
The one influences the other, and
sometimes completely fools it.
Every one knows how an illness which
seems to be approaching often turns out
to be nothing at all. Especially is this

No Peace in Sight

Although the developments of the
past few weeks should have had a
Christening effect on the militancy of
Americas labor leaders, there is as
yet no substantial evidence that they
are prepared to lay aside the per-
sonal hatreds which have nullifed
all efforts to heal the intra-labor
split that has operated to the detri-
ment Of employe and employer alike.
President Roosevelt, who recently
urged the American Federation of
Labor to compose its differences with
the Committee for Industrial Organ
tzation, sent similar appeal yester-
day to the G. I. o. as the John L.
Lewis group met in Pittsburgh for
the opening of it's first constitutional
convention. Should his second appeal
fall on barren ground, as did the
first, there would not appear to be a
great deal more that the President
can do. If it develops now that Mr..
Roosevelt is powerless to act as
peacemaker, his impotency will be
due in no small measure to the fact
that he first permitted himself to be
aligned too closely with one of the
disputants, and then waited too long
before making his move in the role
Of neutral mediator.
Mr.. Lewis keynote address to the
Pittsburgh convention, although con-
ciliatory on the whole when COM
pared to some of his former remarks,
contained no proposals likely to be
accepted by the A. F. Of L. leadership
as basis for peace. While the C. I.
o. chieftain did not close the door
entirely to peace negotiations, he
made it abundantly clear that he
intends to fight for c. I. o. autonomy
and that is a concession which the
A. F. of L. has said it will not make.
After Mr.. Lewis had made his con-
tribution to the prolongation of la
bor's quarrel, President William
Green of the A. F. OF L. issued a
statement in Washington accusing
his rival of falsifying his report of
the c. I. o. membership and financial
status. That type of statement, re-
gardless Of whether it be correct or
In error. contributes nothing to the
cause Of those sincerely desirous Of
