Cruiser Named for an
Italian of Ren0wn.

10 the E0ltOr OF 1IS Stars
The Raimondo Montecuculli, q fast
italian cruiser, is busy just now in Far
Eastern waters. The vessel is named
after Raimondo Montecuculli, count,
prince Of the empire, Duke of Melf1 Q609-
1890. The count, in the service of Aus
tria. was one of the outstanding captains
of that time, holding his own against
Louis XIV's marshals. Ee was also the
first commander to decisively defeat the
Turks (battle of Raab, Hungary, 1864.
The details of his career don't concern
us. But it was he who issued the famous
dictun: ITO carry on war three things
are essential: Money! Money!! Money!!"
This, no doubt, applies to long, drawn
out contest. It was money, respectively,
the free flow of goods (no blockade),
that won for the North in the Civil War
and for the allies in the World War.
There is yet another saying: "An army
marches on its belly" (that is, on what
happens to be in that belly). This is
also true in lengthy scrap. But in a
desperate slam-bang affair the empty
stomach sometimes wins out.
As to Germany, which will, no doubt,
cause the next great war (if and when),
no one really seems to know: Is she
well fed? Is she i'll fed? Some claim
that chemically treated sawdust, rammed
tight into sausage" skins prepared from
cellophane, is just now the nations fav-
orite provender. According to others

W. P. A. Discrimination

Plans of New York City's Works
Progress Administration Director to
flngerprint ten thousand w. P. A..
employees in the Manhattan area have
met with a protest from those ex-
perts in the art of protesting, officials
of the Workers Alliance. They do
not approve of the f1ngerprinting
idea, because, they say, it is dis
criminatory"
Major Brehon Somervell, city w.
P. A. administrator, explained that
fingerprinting of all employees who
are thrown into contact with chill
dren was ordered as an outgrowth Of
sex crimes by two W. P. A. workers
last summer. The order will apply
to teachers, counselors, recreational
workers and the like. If a record of
past abnormalities is found, the en-
ploye will be transferred to other
duties.
Why the Workers Alliance should
take exception to this procedure is
difficult to understand Fingerprint-
ing no longer carries the implications
of criminality which marked it when
the science was used exclusively for
the identification of criminals. Many
law-abiding citizens nowadays volun-
tarily submit their fingerprints to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation for
personal identification purposes.
w. P. A. workers who have no crimi-
nal background will not be stigma
tized if their flngerprints are taken.
And those with shadowy pasts should
not be placed in contact with chill
dren, under any circumstances.
AS for the discrimination" charge,
there is every reason why the Fed
eral Government should exercise dis
elimination in the assignment of
employees to jobs which require them
to mingle with children.

The POOLING Issue

Proponents of enforced pooling of
railroad traffic or earnings as one
avenue of approach to the problem
of the carriers in all probability will
find talking point in the decision
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion extending indefinitely the
charges on bituminous coal which
were due to expire December 81.
Amendment Of the Interstate Com
merce Act to permit mandatory ap-
plication of the pooling principle al
ready has been urged in the rail pro-
gram drawn for President Roosevelt
by his special committee from the
Interstate Commerce Commission
Commissioners splawn, Eastman and
Mahaff1e. That recommendation was
sent to Congress at the last session,
and as the issue was raised strongly
in the coal decision promulgated this
past week, indications are In favor Of

Seeking q Formula

Probably the most challenging Of
the economic pronouncements laid
before the so-called Monopoly Com
mittee during its initial three days
of open hearings was that of Leon
Henderson, New Deal economist and
committee secretary, to the effect
that a return of our prosperity"
levels of 1929 still would leave Amer
lea with an unemployment load Of
some 100000 persons. To bring
about full employment, he added, a
record high point of national pro-
ductive activity would be essential.
In sketching this picture, Mr.. Hen
derson submitted sufficiently au-
thentic statistical evidence to clear
his conclusions of any taint of spe-
cial pleading-in fact, it might well be
pointed out that none of the com.
prehensive economic background of
the national business structure thus
far laid before the committee has
been discolored by reformist conclu-
sions.
Accepting then the basic accuracy
OF the circumstances here outlined,
the stupendous character of the
problem becomes apparent. In 1929,
the Nation was moving along at
what seemed on the surface to be a
permanently healthy economic basis.
That it wasn't so healthy, only few
would admit then; many more will
admit it now.
But from 1888, when the country
was harvesting its fullest crop from
the wild oats of 1929, to 1887, the
dominating influence in the national
economy swung from one extreme
toward another, from rugged indi-
dualism" to social control" And
yet, in 1887, we found ourselves fall
ing precipitately into another ode
preston" Apparently Government
had failed, just as had private initia-
tive, to dominate and direct COM
rlex economic mechanism in such
way as to keep all of Americas
people supplied with a fair portion
of all of Americas resources.
Even in the face of these failures.
however, it cannot be felt for an
instant that there does not exist a
formula, embracing the best qualities
of American initiative and of social
consciousness, to pull this country
back to level of decent prosperity
and security.
The lines of study indicated for
this committee last week embrace
not only scrutiny of corporate and
individual business practices but an
equally penetrating analysis of
policies of governmental interven-
ton, past and present. There are
reasonable grounds for optimism
that such an approach will not fail
OF progress in solving these all
important problems.

Turning Back the Clock

In the course Of It's unbelievable
campaign to exterminate the Jews,
the Nazis have turned back the clock
again by reviving the medieval in
stitution of the ghetto. Beginning
tomorrow, Berlin Jews are banned
from Inter den Linden, the VIII
helmstrasse and other principal
metropolitan areas, may not enter
governmental premises without spe-
cial permits, are debarred from thea
terS, the opera, motion-picture houses
and other places Of recreation, and
must surrender their licenses to drive
automobiles or motor cycles. To en-
ter a forbidden area will subject a
Jew to fine of sixty dollars or six
weeks Imprisonment.
AS the final ghetto touch, Jews are
warned to evacuate homes and busi-
ness premises now occupied by them
'in or adjacent to main streets and
representative residential avenues"
and betake themselves to rooms in
quarters inhabited by the poorer
Jewish element in a quarter of Berlin
long known as the "Scheunenviertel,"
or the area of squalor and riffraff.
For the moment, the ghetto orders
apply only to Berlin. But the expec-
tation is that it is intended to serve
as model for all other urban COM
munities with considerable Jewish
populations. Eventually, except for
those fortunate enough to become
refugees, all of Germany's remaining
65O,OOO Jews seem doomed to ghetto
existence
Tonight in Washington there will
be great mass meeting in Constitu-
ton Hall, at which distinguished
members of the Committee on Reli-
gious Life in the Nations Capital will
"re-emphasize the American ideal of
religious freedom under the Consti-
tuition and express profound SYM
pathy with victims of intolerance
and cruelty in all parts of the world"
Speakers at this demonstration of
interdenominational protest against
bigotry and brutality masquerading
in the VOLTS clothing of racial ma
tionalism will properly confne them
selves to remonstrance. Theirs is
not the province of devising punitive
measures to combat the gravest
challenge to civilized life in our time.
That is the prerogative of statesman
ship. The hour would seem to be
approaching when the challenge will
have to be met with something more
effective than expressions of indig-
nation.

Deplores Our Munitions
Sales to Japan.

To the Editor of The Star
With no military objectives near. the
American hospital at WuchoN, South
China, was recently severely damaged by
American planes in ruthless Japanese
hands. What excuse is to be offered for
this outrage has yet to appear. Their
sinister objective is nevertheless attained
demonstration of the might of Japan to
local inhabitants. The sinking of the
Panay and assaults on persons and
property of foreigners in various parts
of China are deliberate gestures on the
part Of Japan in its plan to intimidate
the Chinese. The man on the street in
China knows Japan can with impunity
attack any or all the Western nations.
The Chinese know America and Great
Britain dare not oppose imperial Japan;
China hope to win against such mighty
opponent" Japan openly destroys
American property before the Chinese,
but the latter do not know of 80 sorry"
and indemnities handed out behind. her
back to trusting nations she has delib-
erately houted.
An influential Chinese recently re-
marked to me: IF they would cease SELL
ing war material to Japan, Americans
would make Chinese their friends for
ever" The Chinese are beginning to be-
lieve that Americans wish the war con-
tinued, innocents outraged and killed
and helpless populations swept away.
Our spoken sympathy is belied by our
acts! We need not fight. No guns or
planes to savages is all that is required.
Let Americans not deceive themselves
into believing that Japan does not wish
to injure Western nationals. The pre-
meditated machine cunning of the PAN
American plane near Canton is too we'll
understood in China, where Americas
infantile trust in very sorry" is accepted
as another proof of our impotence! That
the great prestige of America in China
has vanished 1t is needless to say. A
Christian nation? PENNSYLVANIA.

The Auto-RuiIers

The decision of the Public Utilities
Commission permitting the Arlington
and Fairfax Auto Railroad Company
to extend it's so-called auto-railer
service into the District is not likely
to satisfy anybody.
To the Capital Transit Company,
it stands as legal challenge to the
contention that, under the terms of
the Merger Act, no competing utility
can extend it's service into the Dis
trict without first obtaining a GER
tifcate of convenience and neces-
sity. The Arlington and Fairfax Com
pany must regard its limited success
before the commission as an empty
victory, for it is obvious to all that
the privilege of operating in Wash
ington to terminal at Fourth street
and Constitution avenue is Of little
practical value so long as the con-
Germ must refrain from diScharging
and taking on passengers en- route.
BY the same token the commissions
ruling will not aid those residents of
Virginia who work in Washington
and who must rely on the auto
railers for transportation, because,
unless their places of employment
happen to be within walking distance
of the designated terminal, they are
still subject to the inconvenience of
an unsatisfactory transfer arrange
ment.
Considering that the auto-railer
matter has been a subject of dispute
and investigation since 1886, it is un-
fortunate that the commission did
not make a more conclusive ruling.
AS matters now stand, the only re-
course is to the courts, and, whether
judicial review is sought by the
Transit Company in protection of its
asserted rights under the Merger Act,
or by the auto-railer concern in an
appeal from the action of the COM
mission, it is to be hoped that no ef-
fort will be spared to secure prompt
and equitable adjudication of the is
sues involved.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. Trucetcell.

Days after the snow is all gone from
downtown It still lies widespread and
deep in Suburbia.
Templeton Jones, who lives out that
way, wears fo,,r-buckle galoshes to work.
His citified friends, who do not under
stand such goings-on, ask him why he
wears 'em.
"You would. too" he says, with the
wisdom born Of experience, If you lived
out our way
It Is true. Four buckle galoshes are
standard equipment In Suburbia, where
great trees and colder year-round temp
eratures conspire to keep snow and ice
on the ground.
Sometimes Jones cannot believe 1t
himself. As he looks out his office win
dow and sees bare concrete, stone and
brick, all rs dry as the proverbial bone,
he wonders II he must stoop down to
put on those things.
Putting on galoshes isn't what it used
to be- he finds out.
Some of his friends (who live in
Suburbia) refuse to take theirs off all
day long.
"One gets used to tnem," says old Sam,
loftily.
They keep my feet warm" says Jim.
Temp Jones has to laugh up his sleeve
He knows what the trouble is. They
are getting fat, and find it difficult to
stoop over.
Easy bending at the midriff is essen
tial to the proper putting on of these
formidable friends of the deep SHOWS
The galosh, even more than the shoe,
needs easy bending.
Those four buckles, of course.
If there were just one, it might not be
so bad, but when all four are required,
as they are, it is shoe of another color.
Somei Wearers aim to get around this
necessity by locking only one, but the
effect is sloppy. They long for zippers,
but few have them in Suburbia. The
four buckles are standard.
Shall wear these things home?"
That is the question as Jones and his
ilk look out the window
There is not even SNOWFALL in sight.
But out in Suburbia-
There he sees, in his minds eye, the
noble stretch of great oaks and the
snow lying deep and widespread still.
The squirrels race for the trees, ascend
ing with rush OF claws, after which
they bark from some low-hanging
branch.
Duke, venerable setter. whose hind legs
are quite stiff, gamely tip-toes over the

\
This is condescension, on Dukey's
part.
Mostly he requires 10 years to become
acquainted, but he has made up with
Evening star., 1938-12-05

its figuring Importantly when Con-
gress turns to railroad legislation.
Established q year ago, and yield
ing something more than $19, 800, 900
annually over previous levels, on the
basis Of the current movement, the
soft coal rates represent an increase
that was granted with reluctance by
the I. c. c. because approximately a
fourth Of the added revenue would
accrue to the three Pocahontas lines
Norfolk and Western, Chesapeake
and Ohio and Virginian-which "do
not need" 1t. The necessities Of the
other carriers participating in this
traffic were deemed sufficient to jus
tify the advance, but the commission,
in sharp language, declared the ques-
ton of pooling to permit roads to
share In the increase according TO
their needs, must be considered. For
this reason, a time limit was put on
the rates. No pooling program ma
terialized.
The commission majority now, TAX
ing up the application of the carriers
to continue the rates, has revised it's
views about the Pocahontas lines
revenue needs and also is less force
ful on pooling. On the opposite side,
however, Commissioner Eastman,
who is joined by Commissioner Lee,
scores the railroads generally for fail
ure to explore the possibilities Of
pooling, and is particularly critical
Of the Pocahontas lines which are
represented as opposing such action.
Voluntary pooling is permitted by
law, with commission approval, but
there has been only a limited demand
for it. And considering the disabili-
ties under which most of the roads
now are laboring, there is doubt as
to how far the stronger could go or
should be required to 60, to help the
weaker.
