Help Wanted.

1t is OF unquestioned Importance
to all affected by the new wage-hour
law that adequate and competent
administrative personnel be avail
able to direct application of the
statute.
For regardless Of varying opinions
as to wisdom of the legislative ex-
pertinent and regardless of the real
hope that 1t will not lead to creation
OF another tremendous New Deal
agency, the fact remains that it is
the law of the land and those falling
within its scope must abide by it or
be subject to penalty.
With the administration appealing
Tor cooperation and a majority of
employers clearly anxious to abide
by the law, there remains the vital
necessity of furnishing guidance and
counsel to the many employers and
employees who are in doubt as to
their obligations under the act. To
say mat all such parties should
abide by the law if they are in doubt
is, of course, merely begging the
question since it was obviously the
intent OF Congress that the admins
trative agency should serve as more
than merely detective force to
catch violators.
With funds at hand being made
quate, Administrator Andrews is rec
ognizing this same administrative
responsibility in asking for loan"
OF employees for the immediate future
and a deficiency appropriation as
soon as Congress can make one. It
Is desirable that both of his requests
be fulfilled.

The Stock Exchange.

The new rules governing operation
Of the New York Stock Exchange. as
announced by the Securities and Ex-
change Commission, leave no room
for future criticism Of the Exchange
as private club" A survey of the
new regulations, which are expected
to bring about radical change in
the conduct Of the brokerage bust
ness, leads inescapably to the con-
clusion that the Exchange hereafter
will be operated in a manner calcu-
lated to afford the greatest possible
protection to the investing public.
If William o. Douglas, S. E. C. chair
man, is correct, the changes have
eliminated the conditions which
permitted Richard Whitney to op-
crate to the detriment of the finan-
cial community for almost twelve
years while others of high standing
in Wall Street, knowing of his mis-
conduct, did nothing to expose him.
This overhauling of Exchange
practices is the result of close-co-
operation between the new officials
of the financial agency and the
S. E. C. In the words of Chairman
Douglas, the new proposals repre-
sent a program we'll balanced be-
tween regulation by the industry
itself and regulation by the COM
mission"
1t is distinctly encouraging that
those charged with the administra-
ton of the S. E. c., which was created
over the bitter opposition of many in
the financial community, have found
1t possible to work in cooperation
with the heads of the New York Ex-
change to provide more adequate SUI
pervision of security transactions,
and it is to be hoped that full con-
sideration will be given the request
by the commission that other ma
tional securities exchanges WILL so
far as it may be practical, adopt the
New York rules to bring about some
sort of national Standardization of
the purchase and sale of securities.

Britain Cirds Her Loins.

Prime Minister Chamberlain on
September 20 pledged that Great
Britain would settle any future diff
ferences with Germany without war.
Although Chancellor Hitler entered
into complementary commitment,
the London government plainly in
tends to run no risks of being caught
as unprepared for emergencies as it
was five weeks ago. Against such a
contingency John Bull is now vigor-
ously girding his loins.
Yesterday in the House of Com
mons Mr.. Chamberlain announced
the appointment of Sir John Ander-
son, the iron man of Bengal"
nominally as Lord Privy Seal, but
actually to post that makes him
minister for civilian defense" His
duties will include primarily the Or
ganization of adequate air raid pre-
cautions and arrangements for
national voluntary service" Both
assignments are the direct conse.
quence of the unreadiness in the air,
which required Britain and France
to bend the knee to Hitler at Munich.
During the intervening month the
British have had opportunity to
count the cost of surrender. The
Chamberlain government, too, has
had time to test the extent to which
its political position has suffered.
There are no signs that the damage
is serious. Popular relief over main
tenance of peace has outweighed re-
sentiment over the price paid for it.
In the dual role of peacemaker and
advocate of rearmament, Chamber
lain appears to have spiked the guns
of the opposition, including that
within the Conservative party, per-
sonif1ed by Messrs. Eden, Duff Cooper
and Churchill.
But, inasmuch as inability to
match German air power admittedly
prevented him from taking an un-
f1inching attitude at Munich, Cham
berlain proposes forthwith to plug
the holes in Britain's armor. Neither
the anti-aircraft units of the terri
torial National Guard army nor
the air raids precaution department,
it is now revealed, were capable OF
resisting attacks on London, while
the Royal Air Force lacked actual
and potential first-line reserve
planes. Sir John Anderson's Job is
to remedy all those defects. To that
end, neither expense nor effort will
be spared.
Advocating constructive Good
Grafton" with totalitarian powers, the
Prime Minister assured Parliament
that Britain's defensive requirements
can be met without compulsory
service. The government is satisfied
that voluntary action suitably
guided and organizer can do the
trick. To the iron man of Bengal"
falls that task.

make wonderful present to this faithful
friend.
1t might be done this fall, easily, on any
one Of the calm days when the winds
are not blowing too harshly.
Any sensible garden would rejoice at
getting its sagged wires, leaning posts
and wrecked rails back in place.
Then there is the matter of painting.
Fences need paint, too. They most often
do not get enough Of it to keep them in
good trim.
Painting fence is easy. Even the
famous man of the house, who is seldom
half the painter his mate is, finds 1t easy
and pleasant work. No climbing, and one
can take time out" whenever fancy
pleases
Another swell garden gift would be sew
eral nice new lengths of hose.
Garden hose wears out every 10 years
or so-provided you get good grade.
(The cheap kind won't go more than a
season or two, or three at the most0
Even the best hose wears out, in time.
It's replacement is fairly costly. 1t would
make as good present as any and a
great deal more sensible than some
Use of the garden hose in fall and
winter is not customary, but there can
be no doubt that a more liberal real
watering at these seasons would do a
great deal to cut down on the brown
and unsightly evergreens seen every
where.
These marvellous plants are supposed to
be horticultural camels, but they are not;
they, too, need to 60 into the winter with
plenty Of moisture at their roots.
Real autumn winds have way of dry
ing up everything leaving a bad condition
at the root Of the foundation paintings.
A hose in time might help.

All those stakes and labels and tying
materials, promised the home ground so
long, would make an ideal Christmas
present.
People not interested in gardening
would not understand this, but all those
who plant few roses and are interested
in plant names will understand the urge.
Such materials belong in the same class

time or other, have promised themselves
that they will read it, cut they seldom do.
Lives there home gardener anywhere
who to himself has never said, Now this
year am going to have plenty of stakes,
labels and so on?"
How many ever do it?
So seize the opportunity this year, oh
gardeners, and get nice set for Aunt
Harriet, who loves to fuss around in her
yard.
She will like to write the names on the
labels She will have high old time
putting the wrong names on the right
plants.
Instead Of giving her the 10th pair of

her with nice shiny new lawn mower

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

It may seem q bit early to be talking
about Christmas-but what gifts are you
going to give your garden this year?
That good old plot of ground goes along
accomplishing, year after year, season
after season, wet, dry, doing its best for
the hopeful amateur.
1t seldom gets enough to eat and too
often not enough to drink.
Yet it is expected to flourish as the
famous green bay tree, so that when
friends come to call just before dusk it
will be miniature paradise
Such faithful friend, like the milk
man, deserves Christmas present, too
A neat little present for any good gar
den is birdhouse.
One Is enough.
Select either wren or bluebird house.
The latter is larger and the door is
slightly bigger, but not much.
Since the best bluebird house is likely
to find itself an English sparrow house
in the spring, it may be just as we'll to
select wren house after all.
There are many neat specimens on the
market.
Any good garden would appreciate one.
Do not make the mistake of OVERRIDING it,
Trees and posts spotted and dotted with
bird domiciles all over the place look
rather silly.
They would rather not.
X X X
Pick a nice birdhouse and be sure to
nail it up on Christmas Day, no matter
how cold.
Put big red ribbon on it, If your fancy
runs that way, but be sure to take it of
the next day. Ribbons and birdhouses
do not 60 together, except on Christmas.
There are two good reasons for putting
up birdhouse in the winter. One is
that even the best made house begins to
crack and pull apart in the dry atmos-
phere Of most homes.
The other reason is that it needs lot
of weathering to get the birds to feel at
home in it.
Some inquiring reader, at this point,
one think about Christmas and the
garden.
Well, the fall scene does it.
We defy any gardener, looking at his
yard at this season, not to think about
the days to come, not to wonder how
next years garden will look He will
be thankful that the garden of 1898 was
as good as it was.
Looking at all the good earth, and the
steady performance, despite woeful lack
of fertilizer-guilty or not guilty?-the
aspiring amateur we'll may conclude that
he ought to do something special this
year for his yard.
Large or small, it is the only real
property, is 1t not?

Hitler Has No Claim
To Klaipeda.


To the Editor of The Star
When Klaipeda (MemeD passed into
the possession of Lithuania after the
war, it was a neglected port, with old
equipment dating from the past century,
without suitable goods warehouses, with
out single elevator and without re-
frigerators. In those days it was known
only as timber shipping port-Holz-
hafen. After its transference to Lithuania,
1t speedily began to progress in all re-
spectS. Today under Lithuania, it has
become valuable Baltic port Klaipeda
section is economically dependent on
Lithuania and from geographical stand
point is part of Lithuania proper.
1t must not be forgotten that Klaipeda
section was originally part of Lithuania
which Germany took during the par
titions of Lithuania and Poland in the
18th century 1t may be true that there
is Germanic element in Klaipeda. It
Is also true that the majority of the
people of that section are of Lithuanian
stock that have been Germanized through
various pressures exerted upon them by
the German government. Hitler has,
therefore, no proper claims to that ter
ritory. Instead he should see to it that
the large element of Lithuanians in Tilsit
Konigsburg and other sections of East
Prussia are respected and not bulldozed
and even compelled to change their
Lithuanian names into German. He
could do the right thing by exchanging
nationals with Lithuania.

er in the orchestra claims the same
distinction. All are skilled and eff
cient performers. Experience has
taught them that they have an
economic stake in contracting to-

personal freedom in some part in

Identification, they do not complain.
They simply refuse to cooperate
with "star" who is unwilling to
sacrifice himself for what they re-
gard as the general welfare. Such a
position, obviously, is perilous in that
1t results in the proposed concert

will put money in nobody's pocket.
1t would be mistake, however, to
suppose that MIR. Menuhin is entirely
selfish in his resistance to the CLOSED

he says, I'VE soon will have only one
kind of art-that which conforms to
union regulations. Artists must be
free, or there will be a leveling OF
art" These are idealistic words.
and the public is likely to sympathize
with them. But it is not unmindful
OF the fact that freedom on occasion
may signify, as Anatole France once
declared, liberty to starve.
All of which brings a thoughtful
bystander back to the problem of the
1ndividualist's fate in a world re-
formed by Karl Marx. 1t is some
comfort to remember that the author
of ''Das Kapitar" went hungry rather
than consent to arbitrary control of
his genius.

wartime Premier of England, can be
taken as authoritative. Therefore, we
must consider the Munich agreement as
Britain's defeat at the hands of Ger
many. 1t is said that this defeat was
caused by the unpreparedness of Eng
land. The United States should profit
by this experience. After all, a strong
defense is the best offense.
The United States can no longer de-
pend on Britain to settle international
problems. We must be able to face the
issues with the backing of strong mill

we be firm to negotiate for peace with
