is mo way Of judging Of the future
but by the past" the United States
can no more confidently expect to
escape being involved in another
world war than it escaped the pre-
vious holocaust. That may not be
comforting thought, as this Nation
contemplates an embattled and en-
bittered universe, but 1t is realistic.
It is no time for ostrich tactics. The
hour calls for fact-facing, for psy-
Geological preparation against emer-
gencies that can come upon us as
suddenly as the one which required
us to strip for action in 1917. 1t calls
in particular for unremitting con-
centration on perfection of national
defense.
Isolationist and collective action
ist are fairly agreed on one score
that the foreign policy to which
this country must remain dedicated
is a policy of doing our utmost to
make the outbreak of war less likely.
If conflict of the magnitude un-
leashed at Sarajevo is preventable, it
will be chiefly because the powers
lusting for war are convinced they
could not risk it. No set of would-be
war-makers today can leave the
United States out of account. To
get down to cases, If the axis
poWers-Germany, Italy and Japan
know that American supplies will be
available to the nations which in
self-defense would oppose that triple
alliance, because those nations con-
troll the seas, while the same supplies
would be beyond the axis reach
1t is more than possible that the
Germans, the Italians and the Japa-
neSe would avoid war from which
they could not expect to emerge
victorious.
The neutrality bill now before the
House is designed to throw our in
fuence into the scales of peace. That
is SO, because, in its practical appli-
cation, while command of the seas
rests with the non-aggressor powers,
the measure operates to the ad-
vantage of those, like ourselves, who
are on the side Of international law
and ordered peace.

only for Great Britain and Japan
but for all the other powers which
have interests in the Far East, for
the extent to which Great Britain
bows to Japan's claims in the broad
sphere of foreign rights will be the
measure Of what Japan will expect
from other foreign governments.
AS far as the Japanese army itself
is concerned nothing will be salts
factory short of British agreement
Cd to give Japan a share in the con-
troll OF "terrorism";; ca suppression
of anti-Japanese activities within
the Tientsin concession; CD full CO.
operation in economic development
in North China; and a. surrender
of money held in the British conces-
sion at Tientsin for Chinese govern
ment agencies which no longer exist.
Beyond these specific points there
Is the controversial question of Brit
ish support for Chinese currency, an
activity which is prejudicial to ia
pans effort to introduce her own
money into China.
1t would be vain to hope in the face
or these demands that the British
negotiators will be able to limit the
discussions to the mere matter of the
four accused Chinese. At the same
time the British undoubtedly realize
the scope which will attach to their
concessions to Japan and can be
counted on to act accordingly.

Mr.. Huzen's jubilee

If ever there should be need to
prove the existence of an active civic
spirit in Washington, an excellent
example might be found in the story
of the dinner rendered to Commits
sioner Melvin c. Hazen by the Board
of Trade last night. The occasion
was his jubilee-the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the beginning of his employ
ment by the District of Columbia.
But it was not merely half a century
Of devoted service that his friends
commemorated. Much more def
nitely, the entire affair was a DEM
onstration of goodwill on the part
of the community. The people of
the Nations Capital assembled to
give unified expression of their in
terest in the city which is their home
and of their appreciation for one
who has been faithful and loyal to
that interest.
Mr.. Hazen, of course, understands
the predicament Of Washington. He
is familiar with the fact that the
progress of the District is hampered
by the voteless condition of its citi-
zens. Denied their share of political
and fiscal equity-rights commonly
enjoyed by all other American cities
his neighbors are handicapped in
the management of their own busi-
ness. Yet no one present at last
nights celebration could doubt for a
moment that they have every neces-
sary qualification for the franchise
and its proper use within constitu-
tional limits. They manifested the
fundamental quality of Americanism,
namely: consciousness of civic duty,
including the obligation to testify
to their gratitude for public work
we'll done.
Under slightly different conditions,
Washington might have the privi-
lege of commencing Mr.. Hazen in
more tangible ways. Meanwhile, it
salutes him with sincere affection
and, in the language of President
Roosevelt, wishes him long years
OF health and happiness"

Unemployment Due to
OverpOpulation.
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Referring to the article by Henry Ware
Allen, in your issue of the Oath, it seems
to me that there is an abundance of geo.
logical evidence that millions Of species
of plant and animal life have become
extinct. It also seems to me that the
cause in many cases was overmultiplica-
ton.
I myself believe that the single land
tax is good tax and that Henry
Georges intentions were good, but his
arguments to me are unconvincing as
against the arguments of Malthus.
Every stage of civilization, like the re-
stricted areas Of good land, will provide
for the support of limited number of
persons, but better conditions" of a
certain kind merely facilitate more ex-
cessive breeding to be inevitably fol-
lowed by the dearth OF opportunities for
employment.
The cause Of the poverty of masses is
to me as plain as the cause of the pov-
erty Of single families where both par
ents of numerous offspring were never
capable of earning living for them
selves.
Unemployment is the indubitable and
inexorable index Of overpopulation.

Dear Sir:
II thought you might be interested in
pair of robins that have come to my
back yard for five or six years.
II am quite sure 1t is the same pair
who come year after year and build in
a nearby maple tree. Each evening
around pm. they come to dig worms
out of my flower garden.
First they come together, then later
the male alone while the mother is
sitting on the nest, imagine The best
part is-for the past three years, around
about the middle of June, there sudden
ly appears the little family of speckled
breasts, hopping about the lawn or
sitting on the fence, while, mother and
father feed them big fat fishing worms,
as have always called them
Il have watched this little family night
after night and the parents never make
a mistake as to which baby robin got
the last worm.
They divide them evenly, and al
though all three chirp for the food, it
goes to the one whose turn it is.
~
To-day, just after dinner, I looked out
of my kitchen window and there was
this Years brood, father, mother and
two speckled breasts. How proud the
parents were of those babies. The
father has always come quite close to
me, and tonight he coaxed one baby
quite close to me.
He seems to know no harm will come
to him or his family in my yard
Just for fun I threw few large
black cherries out on the lawn, for I
know robins are very fond of this fruit.
Then I sat and watched how they
would take 1t. How they enjoyed them!
But they seemed little confused to find
cherries on the ground when they are
used to getting them in a tree.
Now every night they look and look
at the place where the cherries were.
They seem to remember that cnce
they found something good there.
Since observing these robins I am
convinced that wild birds can become
quite tame, once they know they will
come to no harm. Ii you are patient,
they will soon get to know you and
almost eat from your hand.
Here's hoping this fine little family
come as my spring visitors for many
years. 1t is something to look forward
to, indeed real treat when they bring
the little ones for the first time.
Sincerely, H. L. B."
\ -
1t is probable that all birds divide the
food equally among the young. Other
wise, only a few would be raised. The
demand for food is incessant. Most
species make chipping sound constant
ly, especially while on the ground. This
is done because each specimen wants all
the food there is, but the wise bird
mind knows this will not do, that there
must be some rotation.
The parent birds work very hard for
two or three weeks gathering food and
