methods of Peace"

washington gave royalty OF its ira
ditional warmth yesterday-atmos-
pherically and sentimentally-in
honor of the Capitals honored
guests, King George and Queen
Elizabeth. The weather bureau, on
the whole, rendered an account of
itself in keeping with the hospitable
note of the hour. The throngS that
greeted their Britannia majesties on
Constitution and Pennsylvania ave-
nues, and later along Connecticut
and Massachusetts, avenues, must
have convinced them that the in
tensity of the days heat found it's
full counterpart in the quality of the
welcome accorded the King and
Queen at every stage of their public
appearances.
Today, when large numbers of
Westinghouse are again to have
opportunity to see them, our royal
guests can be sure of ovationS as
genuine as those which accompanied
their arrival. Upon all Americans
privileged to have a closeup of
George and Elizabeth at the Embassy
garden party they made an impress
sion corroborative of all that was said
and heard in advance of their COM
ing-that they are, respectively,
every inch King and Queen, a
dignified, modest, personable and
charming young couple.
With that felicity of expression of
which he is a master, President
Roosevelts toast to the King at last
nights state dinner in the White
House singled out a recent Anglo
American episode which Eliminates
with searchlight clarity the why and
wherefore of the entente cordiale
between the two countries. Britain
and the United States both claimed
sovereignty over the tiny uninhab-
tied midPacific islands of Canton
and Enderbury. Their sole impor-
lance is as intermediary bases for
commercial aircraft operating be-
tween America and Australia. In
stead of embarking upon intermi-
nable argument, with the possibili-
ties of i'll will inherent in even so
minor controversy, it was agreed
that both nations should use the
islets, under a gentlemen's agree
ment to defer the determination of
ultimate ownership until 1882 THE
passage of fifty years." the President
said, will solve many problems"
Then, Mr.. Roosevelt, in accents
probably appropriately pondered in
certain other capitals today, added
that "if this illustration of the use
of methods of peace, divorced from
aggression, could only be universally
followed, relations between all coun-
tries would rest upon a sure founda-
ton, and men and women every
where could once more look upon
happy, prosperous and peaceful
world"
That is the spirit and essence of
the permanence of Anglo-American
friendship bonds, which this epochal
British royal visit signifies. Its ef-
fects will abide long after our men,
Dries of Elizabeth's smile and George
WIS modest bearing have faded away.

had happened.
He even thought Mrs. Jones looked a
bit crestfallen. She was a very sensitive
and a very sensible person. too.
well, did you keep these bluejays
away from that nest?" asked Jones.

Jones was dumfounded. Was this re-

why not?" he asked briskly.
Mrs. Jones smiled
Because it was their nest" she said,
sheepishly.
Sure enough, the nest in the evergreen
had been the Jays own nest, and the
birds in it their own babies
No wonder they made strenuous efforts
to get to them.
IT was only when Mrs. Jones gave over
her ardor as an amateur detective, and
really began to watch the birds, that
she saw how wrong she had been.
All persons interested in bird life learn
this, sooner or later.

Part of the fun of bird observation lies
in starting at scratch.

His material is everywhere, even in the
depths of the city.
No matter where he is, there are birds,
and. being birds, they always act true
to their own species.
There will be, however, many vari-
atoms, and detecting these, and making
sure of them constitutes another of the
joys of bird watching

The observer should try to keep an
open mind.
Do not let him pick up ready-made
structures on bird life. Often these are
faulty, mostly second or third hand not
ones own in any sense.

Germans Held Unhappy
Under Hitler.

To the Editor of The Star:
Your correspondent of May 20, Mr.. j.
Dennis Granger, claims as the achieve
ment of Nazi Germany, among other
things, bolstered financial structure, no
unemployment, wholesome food for the
people and an esprit de corps" of high
plane for the entire nation. wonder if
Mr.. Granger would leave the protection
of his highly academic language to pre-
sent some evidence in support of his
claims
Economists have been commenting all
along on the extreme weakness of Ger
man finances, held together only by gov
eminent force. And yet Mr.. Granger
sees fit to praise it. Are the new forced
loans in the guise of tax certificates an
evidence of weakness or of strength?
OF course there is no unemployment
in Germany. Was there ever unemploy-
ment among slaves? Men and women
who were unemployed are being put to
what amounts to forced labor in the labor
camps and outside them. Has Mr.. Gran
ger heard of the Berlin women who must
report every day for road building duty
or else relinquish their meager relief
allotment? Does he know that an en-
ployed man or woman must have gov
eminent permission to change his or
her job?
And just how do the masses live?
Wages in Germany were frozen at the
low depression level of 1882. Prices have
risen over 80 per cent, although tempered
government induces show rise of only
6 per cent. Outside of potatoes and
bread, which must be at least day old
to be legally edible and is horrible tast-
ing when stale because of adnnixtures of
cereals other than wheat, the German
doesn't have too much to eat. Why does
Mr.. Granger underestimate the serious
ness Of such shortages as butter and
meats? believe the last figure heard
we'll over 81 pound. The average Ger
man makes a miserable salary, with
which he can buy little, and from
which he has to contribute to the sup
port of Hitler's mobsters And to top
things off, he works longer day for the
smaller sum, and has no right to say
anything about 1t.
Mr.. Granger speaks of high esprit
de corps" in Germany. Where was this
spirit when so many Germans reacted
in disgust and shame to Hitler's planned
pogroms last fall? Countless newspaper
correspondents and other eyewitnesses
will testify to that. And where was this
spirit when, on the eve of Munich, Ger
man troops marched through Berlin and
not sound was heard from the populace
in the way of cheer?
The individual in Germany has for
feited more than just "a certain meas
ure of freedom" for which Mr.. Granger
SO nobly apologies. Not only has he lost
all rights to decent democratic life, not
only has he become virtually . slave to

Weather Novelty

A weather report is usually a dull
affair. The plots from which it is
taken have long since worn thread
bare, the monotony mainly being due
to the fact that the cast of charac-
tiers is limited to wind, heat, cold,
rain, fog, and sunshine going through
the same old routine of blowing,
condensing, ETC., until the public be-
comes bored stiff. What the country
needs is newer and more imaginative
forms of weather, and it is encourag-
ing to note that a start in the right
direction has been made by a Louisi-
ana breeze which Strengthened up a
leaning barn. It also lifted cow
bodily over tree tops safely into
greener pastures on the other sside,
causing milk to 60 higher than at
any other time since the COW jumped
over the moon. AS a climax, in some
mysterious fashion it brought live
shrimp up out of the ground in sub
urban New Orleans.
All this, however, took place totally
unforecasted, due to the Anticipated
equipment of the Weather Bureau.
In spite of billions spent on the
farmer he received no bulletin that
barns built in his area prior to May
should have a twenty degree slant
sou'sou'east. No one told him that
there was barometric low in Medi
cine Hat due to eliminate in Louisi-
ana with mild hundred-mile breeze
accompanied by an intermittent pre-
cipitation of livestock. The New Or
leans housewife was allowed to 60
unWarned to the sea food market,
unaware of the fact that all she had
to do was to see that she had little
rice in the pantry, and then hold
tight and wait for shrimpers to ap-
pear in the back yard.
In rebuttal, however, the Weather
Bureau wishes to state that on the
whole their forecasting record is ex-
cellent, and as a challenge to critics,
unhesitatingly predicts severe BRAIN
storms, accompanied by violent
showers Of vituperation, at the po-
utical conventions Of 1910.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trnce1UeH.

Take warning from the experience OF
the Joneses with the bad bluejays.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones and the rest of the
family had read somewhere about the
evil deeds this bird did at nesting time.
1t was forever eating the eggs of other
species, and even killing their fledglings
in the nest.
So when Mr.. Jones saw jay winging
its way to an evergreen, he ran over in
stantly to see what was going on.
There was the jay, trying to get in a
nest.
There were five gaping mouths sticking
up out of the nest.
The heart of Jones froze.
All, ha! here was one of those villain
Gus birds trying to kill some other bird s
children!
Come here quick!" he called.
Mrs Jones came on a lope.
She, too, saw the bluejay, and also the
nest.
You bad bird!' she shrieked, running
forward.
X X
The bluejay, by this time, had been
joined by its mate, and the two of them
made what seemed to the Joneses a very
determined attempt to get at the nest.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jones, for their part, were
as determined to keep them out.
The jays flew to a tree, and sat there
evidently undecided what to do next.
Il have to 60 to work" said Jones
you will have to watch these villains u
Mrs. Jones said she would undertake
the work, as a sort of sacred trust.
Those jays simply had to be kept
away from that nest.
What business had they there? She
could tell from the evil look in their
eyes that they were up to no good as the
saying had it.
All day long she spent chasing the Jays
away.
She could get very little housework
done, because the birds seemed unusually
persistent
What villains they were, to be sure!
Time after time she dropped her work
IN the house to run into the yard.
Time after time one or the other of the
big blue and gray birds few away, only
to come back again when Mrs. Jones
went into the house
She had read that they were persistent
This trait was no surprise to her.

moon
Brightens her silver candle In the west,
Holds it against the dusk q while, but
soon
Slips down behind the orchard boughs

She leaves the fragrant dark to freflies
And eager stars that tremble into birth,
To dreamy wonder of the dew that lies
Cool on the sweetness of the sleeping

Moonlight and starlight burning FREELY,
Petals that brush like mist across the

My spirit knows that it can never die
And leave the urgent loneliness that

Throbbing with uncomfortable delight.

Congress undoubtedly would take

there is an interminable delay before
the required number of States vote

Reputation of Equity


reported by the House District Com
mittee of an amendment fixing the
FEDERAL payment at not more than
five million dollars is indicative of
spirit not willingly associated with
this committee, which additionally
has worked for the best interests Of
Washington as long, of course, as
those interests did not conflict with
national interests. The bill Just re-
ported is poor tax legislation in the
first place and the addition of this
particular lump sum amendment
disassociates it completely from the
thought that it is being presented
to the House in the interests of the
community or the Nation.
AS a practical matter the legisla-
tors are faced with the need of rails
ing additional revenue in order to
balance the expenses of maintaining
and developing the Nations Capital.
This bill fails in that respect. Unless
the taxpayers are completely horn
sWoggled by failure to carry out
the promised real estate tax reduc-
ton implied in the bill, this particu-
lar tax bill will produce little, if any,
addltlonal revenue. On top of that
and in the face of all equitable con-
sheraton of basic facts, it contains
this added attempt to freeze the
lump sum at figure which bears
no relation whatever to the national
obligation or to Capital City needs.
AS fair revenue measure the bill
fails lamentably to carry out the
principles which, in the beginning,
were to govern its provisions. At the
expense of the local taxpayers, expert
advice was obtained on the proposal
to redistribute the tax burden and to
provide new sources of taxation in
view of the increasing needs of
Washington. After careful, disin-
terested study the experts reported
the fact that taxes in the District
on property and on business repre-
sented, in each case, an excessive
percentage of the total tax burden,
as compared with taxes in the forty-
eight States and as compared with
taxes in twelve selected States. At
the same time, taxes on persons"
represented a smaller proportion of
the total tax burden in the District
OF Columbia than the average. The
recommendation of the experts was
to change this faulty distribution of
the tax load while providing some
additional revenue.
The tax bill just reported departs
in practically all essential elements
from the plan recommended by the
experts both in detail and in obiec-
tives. The effect of the bill is to in
crease still more the percentage of
the total tax burden borne by gen.
eral property and by business and
accomplishes nothing toward solu-
ton of the problem represented in
Washington by the large proportion
of non-residents who pay no direct
taxes toward support of the local
municipal government.
This new tax bill, vicious in some
OF its aspects, repudiates the orig
inal claim of the sponsors that they
were striving for a more scientific
and more equitable distribution of
the tax burden. Containing. as it
does, the limitation on the made
quate lump sum, it assumes the pro-
portions of a damaging instrument
in its effect upon the District of Co.
lumbia and the development of the
Capital.

One Term Proposal
Not Unprecedented.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Writers who discuss Senator Vanden-
berg's proposition that the next Repub-
lican candidate for President should be
pledged to one term talk as if the prop
osltion was something unprecedented. AS
an actual fact, Rutherford B. Hayes
made exactly that pledge when nomi-
mated, and lived up to it, and at the end
OF his term there was no talk of running
him a second time. Those who wish to
see how such plan would work might
look up the record of his excellent adj

TO the Editor Of The Star:
When the acting chief of the German
Embassy protested against the moving
picture, confessions of Nazi Spy the
complaint was handled by Harry Warner,
who says that it passed the British
censor. Why should that influence the
United States? Because it was approved
by that censor does not make it fair. 1t
Is to Britain's advantage to influence
public opinion in the United States. We
were her dupe in 1917 and she expects
