Agricultural eooperators from al
most every corner of the nation re-
affirmed their faith in self-help as
the dominant factor in bringing
farm prosperity, at the recent an

Scores of speakers addressed the

Of them dwelt on the theme Of self
suf1ciency. Strong warnings against
the "let the government do it" at

Threat of Nazis in Brazil
And the Monroe Doctrine
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the EDITOR OF The Star:
The time has arrived for showdown
with the madmen of Europe in control of
European governments as far as the
Western Hemisphere and the United
States are concerned. That impossible
monStrosity and menace to the peace of
the world, Adolph Hitler, in his delirium
with power, dareS intimate action in the
affairs of South American countries in
behalf of the few Germans in those
countries. This communication is sug-
gested by the latest impudence and
threat OF Hitler regarding Germans in
Brazil, who are evidently trying to stir
up trouble down there, and are endeav-
oring to introduce into Brazil the dam
nable brutal and savage rule of Naziism
Hitler in particular and Europe in
general should be warned in no uncertain
terms that any attempt on their part to
interfere in the affairs of the nations of
this hemisphere, or to extend to them
their vile, brutal. and barbarous systems,
whether Naziism, Fascism, or Commu-
niSm. will not be tolerated and will be
resisted by the United States with every
resource at its command. In other
words, now is the time to proclaim anew
the Monroe Doctrine, and let the world
know that we mean business, and that
we will enforce observance Of the doc
trine at all COSTS
In the World War Germany acquired
some acquaintance with the might and
resources of America, and of the fighting
qualifications of the American people, the
knowledge of which will nd doubt have a
salutary effect upon them when America
speaks.

Who Live in Glass Houses.

Once upon a time, when Britannia
ruled the waves and prided herself upon
being the mistress of the seas-in a
world which sat up and took notice when
Kipling's widow O. Windsor said no.
the mighty little kingdom across the
channel from France gloried in her
splendid isolation. hinged by her
leaden seas, she was universe unto
herself. She was in Europe, but not
of 1t. The continent, for all practical
considerations, was as remote from
Britain as the planet Mars.
Twentieth century events were des-
tined to undermine John Bulls snug
ness on this score. It received its first
jolt when NJ Bleriot flew from Calais to
Dover in twenty-one minutes, to prove
that Britain is no longer an island" The
World War, with its devastating air

Everybody Pleads for

of nearly every legislator who has con-

Revise taxes-for the little fellow,
suggested the Chief Humanitarian, and
even Ickes and Jackson, in their de-
nunciationS, have not limited that this
should not be done.
Revise taxes, demanded newspapers
and trade papers everywhere, backing
up demands with air-tight arguments.
The purpose of this survey is to show
the singleness of purpose and under
standing of need with which the subject
was attacked.
For six months Congress has filibuSt-
ered toyed with and buffeted about the
administration long list of pet pro-
posals, voted armaments and concerned
itself with relief. 1t hasn't revised
oppressive tax laws or even approached
the problem, still enveloped in a dense

No Festival.

Mild winter and premature spring
brought out the Tidal Basin cherry
blossoms before arrangements for the
annual festival had been completed.
With the exception of most stupen-
dous" display of fireworks on Monday
evening, no formal program" will be
attempted. Parade, pageant, horse show,
ETC., have been abandoned. The lovely
floral picture this year must be its own
advertisement
But it may be just as we'll to let the
cherry blossoms prove their worth un-
promoted. They are so beautiful that,
like the lilies, they require no arbitrary
gliding. Visitors from other parts of
the Nation, surely, will be content to
view them as they do the Capitol, the
Supreme Court Building, the White
House, the Washington Monument, the
Lincoln Memorial, the Library Of Con-
gress and the Folger Shakespeare Library,
the Corcoran and Freer Galleries of Art,
the Smithsonian Institution and other
attractions of the city in which every
American has the right to consider him.
self "at home"
The supplementary offerings of previ-
GUS seasons were interesting in them
selves, yet the cherry blossoms, their
friends will be apt to believe, can stand
on their own merit. Unique in this part
of the world, they are magnet for
public appreciation which does not need
to be stimulated very much.

considerable error. The laboratory must

are made only during those few hours

Correction of Error
On Status of Iceland
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Referring to an article about Iceland
in Fridays edition of your paper,
should like to call your attention to the
following misstatement contained in it.
The article states that Iceland was under
the rule of the Norwegian King from
1862 until 1914, when it became a part
of the Danish state and was led by the
Danish King. This is wrong.
Norway was part of Denmark until it
was taken over by Sweden after the
Napoleonic wars as reward for it's as
sistance to the allied powers. Until
then the Danish King was also the King
Of Norway. When Denmark lost Nor
way it did not lose Iceland, but kept it.
Therefore Iceland has been under the
rule of Danish Kings ever since 1862.
Another question is strong urge for
independence which expresses itself in
several parties and groups on Iceland.

I don't believe in ghosts at ALL
Such thought brings no concern,
And yet my fears are far from small
Whichever way I turn;
For believe in motor cops
And horns with banshee tone,
And wild, mysterious Cos" and stops,
And brakes that screech and groan.
I know that perils hover round
That I cannot foresee.
I boldly try to stand my ground,
But am compelled to flee.
No superstitions I recall;
To those am averse.
I don't believe in ghosts at all
But am sure of worse!

basin, where 1t will not encroac1 on the
blossoms or change the shape of the
basin.
The new site would entail the sacrifice
only of an athletic field between lower
Fourteenth street and the Tidal Basin,
yet would locate the memorial in an i'm
-portant position overlooking the water
and the surrounding park areas.
While the design of the memorial itself
has not been announced, its appearance
presumably will be changed from the
initial tentative form so as to make it
harmonize with the new location.
AS if in gratitude for the sparing Of
of their lives, the cherry trees were burst
ing into bloom almost coincident with
formulation of the commissions plan.
One glimpse at the magnificent spectacle
they present should be enough to con-
vince any one that the commission made
no mistake in bowling to the overwhelm-
ing demand that the trees be saved.
The revised plan appears to have met
all major objections made to the first
proposal, but the commission still has
before it large task. An appropriation
of 100000 must be obtained before
the memorial can take shape. This sum
has been authorized by Congress. Ex-
perience has shown however, that it is
than it is to secure the appropriation
itself.
The commission will have attained a
full measure of success if it induces the
present Congress to make the necessary
appropriation in the face of urgent de-
mands upon it for other funds, most of
them bearing an emergency label and few
of them slated for approval.
