and wane, issues develop and decline,
great leaders come and go. The fact
Of continuity in American history,
however, remains a living force; and
the Flag typifies the bond which links
generation to generation, citizen to
citizen, in a deathless unity.
It therefore is neither antiquity
nor a far tomorrow that men and
women, boys and girls salute today.
Rather, it is principle of harmony
and fellowship, a magnetic power Of
cohesion and mutually which the
Star spangled Banner signifies. No
dictator compels the people to respect
it. Crowds are not drafted to cheer
1t borne in parade. Its attraction is
natural, and the response normal
reaction of a free society. Public
faith and confidence support it
uncommanded, uncoerced.
Last evening dark clouds poured
torrential rain upon the Federal City.
A mighty drama of the skies was
played over the pure white dome of
the Capitol. But through the storm
the Flag waved gracefully and
proudly, untouched and untouchable
in the tempest. Observers, reassured,
went their way content and smiling.
There was nothing to fear.

The American FIuo

One hundred and sixty-two years
ago today, Congress assembled at
Philadelphia adopted a resolution to
the effect that: "The Flag of the
United States be thirteen stripes,
alternate red and white; the union
be thirteen stars, white in a blue
field representing a new constella-
tion." The original design, tradition
tells, was worked out by a committee
consisting Of George Washington,
Robert Morris and George Ross. 1t
was executed by Mrs. Betsy Ross,
and by August 8, 1777, had received
its baptism of fire at Fort Stanwix,
New York. There were alterations
In the arrangement OF its integral
parts as recently as 1912, but despite
these necessary changes it now COM
monty is regarded as the oldest en-
sign in the world.
Yet it also is the symbol of one
Of the youngest nations of the earth.
Its connotations are those of ener-
getic youth. Though more than a
century and a half the recognized
standard of the Republic, it Is no
mere fetish of a distant or alien past.
Instead, 1t signifies a constantly
expanding democratic civilization.

consist Of huge blocks: above these are
Is courses of smaller stone.
Many years ago Edward Robinson dis
covered the footing or spring Of an arch
OF the bridge Of Herod's Temple, resting
or braced against the great wall. This
arch is 40 feet below the level of the
present "wailing place" and the wall still
extended below the place Of the arch.
Upon these immense stone blocks, lying
at that depth upon a rocky foundation,
there were discovered Phoenician quarry
marks" Robinson says these stones were
"beveled." indicating great antiquity;
they were laid without mortar and fitted
so closely that knife blade could not be
pushed between them. According to q
Palestine fund exploration account this
wall has been examined 40 beet below
Robinson's arch, total of 80 feet below
the present surface Of the "wailinR
place" Mr.. Geike says that at least TO
feet Of rubbish lie heaped over the
ground where the mourners assemble.
1t would seem q high act Of folly to
assume that this great wall, originally
at least 80 feet high, was totally de-
stroyed." II the wall extended below the
place Of the Robinson arch at the time
the bridge was built. 1t could not have
been destroyed before that time. AS the
Robinson arch is still intact 1t is certain
proof that 1t has not since been de-
stroyed. J.W. THOMPSON.

Gives More Information
About "Wailing Wall"
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the issue of June 5 Mr.. Lobingier
oners some argument and authority on
my former statement as to the "wailing
wall" OF the Jews being q part Of the
original temple walls.
He quotes late Jewish enclycopedia,
which recites that the lower part Of the
wall-six courses-is q remnant OF
Herod's Temple and that the middle por-
tion-three courses-is Roman, and the
upper portion Is Saracen.
There is no controversy over the de-
struction Of Solomon's Temple or that
OF later temples on the same site. Mr..
Lobingier emphasizes the fact that Solo,
mons Temple was totally destroyed"
This cannot mean that the materials Of
the temple were destroyed, nor can 1t
mean that all the walls were totally de-
stroyed." In the court OF the gentiles
In Herod's Temple stood Solomon's
Porch, quite large and substantial open
arcade that was so named from the fact
that the materials OF which 1t was built
were salvaged from Solomon's Temple.
The fact that the encyclopedia quoted
states that some Is upper courses OF the
"wailing place" wall are of more recent
work does not initiate against the state
ment that this wall is part OF the orig
inal Solomon's Temple wall. One writer
says this wall as it appears is 5s feet
high; nine OF the lower courses Of stone

States to harness all the forces of
America, to weld all the different
groups into one to bring about recov-
cry and to maintain 1t. But instead
Of that, he said, the political strategy
Of the President has constantly
been one Of giving usa devil to hate"
The former Kansas Governor was
defeated overwhelmingly at the polls
In 1895 by President Roosevelt and
In New Deal quarters his words now
will be discounted. The fact remains,
however, that all the figures indicate
that Mr.. Landon is correct; that mil
lions are still unemployed, that mil
lions are on relief; that relief costs
have continued to mount since Mr..
Roosevelt's reelection in 1885, and
that the New Dealers, from the Pres
ident down, propose to continue the
Government spending policies of the
past six years on the theory that the
country can spend itself into re-
covety.
1t used to be called pump prim-
ing"-before it failed to stimulate
business to real recovery. Now it is
called spending for permanent in
vestment, Mr.. Landon asked point
edly why there is any reason to be-
Ieve that such spending will be
any more effective in bringing re-
covery than the pump priming."
In time when small businessmen
are becoming smaller-and the poor
are becoming poorer, along with the
rich-it is not unreasonable to ask.
as MIR. Landon asks, where the New
Deal is leading the country. It is also
reasonable to ask why Mr.. Roosevelt
should be accorded a third term in
the White House, as some of his sup
porters now demand. In the opinion
OF Mr.. Landon, no President, sue
cessful or otherwise, should be elect
ed to more than two terms.
Mr.. Landon asserted that the safe
ty OF the country against domina-
ton from a President holding office
for more than two terms lies in the
hearts and souls of the American
people. He said that tradition
against third term has been strong
er here than constitutional provi-
sions in some of the republics to the
south of us, where constitutional lin
itations of terms of Office have been
set aside by dictators. Certainly this
has been true up to the present.

The Real Issue

In telling Boston University grad
yates last night that the New Deal
has failed utterly to bring recovery
to America, ALI M. Landon undoubt-
edly sketched what will prove to be
the principal issue Of the next ma
tional political campaign.
Mr.. Landon, describing himself as
"a small businessman getting smaller
every day." insisted that the New
Dealers admit their failure when
they advance their newest theory
"that we are always going to have
too much idle money and too many
idle men; that we are facing not a
temporary condition, but q perma-
nent change in our national
economy"

lican presidential candidate, It IL the

in danger o7 putting too human Z con-
struction on bird actions.
If bird ID actually saved, however.
what shall We say7
In one case, . bird is saved from
drowning.
In . second, . bird ID saved from
suf1ocation.
In the third. . bird IL saved from
getting run over.
Whatever the motive, or lack Of motive,
these are the facts, the accomplishments,
and surely no bird lover would want to
detract any. The only question is did
the hero do what he did as an intelligent
deed, or did he do 1t merely by chance
and for some other reason?
Whatever the explanation, such occur
ences always make q great hit" with
human observers.
We know that dogs often make such
rescues. with almost human sagacity.
They seem to realize fully the situation,
and to act instantly with just the right
performance.
Them we call heroes.
Surely the bird which does the right
thing at the right time, and resctes 4
fellow bird is bird hero, after all.
No doubt there are many more Of these
performances than ever find their way
into print.
Heroic deeds are performed every day
by mother and father birds In attempt
ing to guard their young from ma
rauders.
That sometimes these efforts prove in
vain speaks nothing against the heroism
Of the parents, which do the best they
can with the limited means at their dis
posal.
Young birds are always hungry, and
usually express their desire by plaintive
chipping sounds which do great deal
to give them away to enemies.
The older birds can do little except
fly at the enemy, with great wing beating,
and keep up a clamor, in which they
are aided by birds Of other species in
the vicinity which sense the common
danger to all birds.
Often this distraction Is enough to
give the baby chance to hutter to the
concealment of shrubbery or flower
border
Robin young are very large and quite
helpless on the ground, although we
saw one escape in this manner just the
other day.
The cardinals, among the most beauti-
full of BIRDS are also among the dumbest,
in the sense Of lacking intelligence; both
the parents and the young seem to lack
ordinary good bird sense. This column
would like to have the findings Of others
In regard to this species at this time

friends who are at war with each other,
and to grant or refuse more or less to
the one or to the other -. If am
neutral, ought not to be useful to the
one, in order that may hurt the other. !"
Thus far we have seen what Ameri-
can neutrality meant to those agencies
which gave the spirit and form to our
foreign policy. Those modern writer's
who have been unaffected by the League
Of Nations theory Of sanctions against
the aggressor have followed this original
policy. In 1897 Chief Justice Fuller in
the case of the Three Friends remarked
that neutrality, strictly speaking, con-
sists in abstinence from any participa-
ton in public, private or civil war, and
in impartiality of conduct toward both
parties =" He went on to say that
neutrality was the relationship which
exists between the belligerents and the
states which take no part in the war"
In 1914 President Charles Stockton Of
George Washington University, who for
merly had been q rear admiral in the
United States Navy and who was the
outstanding naval authority on interna-
tional law, wrote that "the status Of
strict neutrality in war may be described
as a complete abstinence on the part
of neutral states from any participation
in the war, coupled with absolute i'm
partiality toward the opposing belligerent
states In all other matters"
For ten years after the World War
neutrality was dormant. When 1t be-
came evident that the system Of collec-
tive security was no guarantee Of peace,
neutrality returned to its old place in
international law and today We find 1t
the topic most discussed and least under
stood of all the problems Of our foreign
relations.
In conclusion, then, the American con-
ception of neutrality recognizes that
peace, and not war, Is the normal condi-
ton of mankind and Of all nations. BY
invoking neutrality one nation continues
this state of peace with those nations
who are making war on one another
In order to continue the state Of peace
the neutral nation treats both belliger-
ents with exact impartiaNty and does not
pretend to Judge the merits Of the con-

ALEXANDRIA, Va.

Dear Sir:
I'm your column the other evening I
noticed a report Of unusual bird hap
penings. I wish to give you this one:
"One afternoon while killing time by
feeding pigeons in the shadow of Andrew
jackson across from the White House,
happened to hear the plaintive cheep
Of sparrow.
Looking down close to my feet
noticed two sparrows who had come in
between my feet to pick up the small
crumbs that fell as I broke up the nuts
for the pigeons.
"One had gotten several of the larger
pieces caught in his throat.
He lay with his wings outstretched
and fluttering, with his beak open.
"The other sparrow looked at him a
moment and then proceeded to pick the
crumbs out Of the other birds throat.
Il regret to say that have seen
humans who would not do as much for
fellow humans in distress.
And they call nature cruel.
Sincerely, j. w. c."
~ ~
The evidence for altruism is not 80
clear here as in the instance reported
several days ago of a starting which
rescued sparrow from drowning.
A guess is that the kind sparrow in the
present instance simply was getting
something to eat where he could find it.
The fact that the suffering bird lay
with its beak open, exposing the crumbs,
led the other bird to make a grab for
them. Perhaps this was nothing more
than instructive.
Yet to the watcher it must have looked
quite heroic. And truly no other person
would be In position to make q final
judgement.
AS IN all such matters, the possibility
OF understanding and quick action in
an emergency might have been present.
Not long ago there was a story which
came out Of nearby State to the effect
that Baltimore oriole had rescued q
goldfnch from getting run over In the
road by grasping it by the wing and
pulling 1t out Of danger
Maybe the oriole was attacking the
goldfnch, who knows?
That the larger bird could have under
stood the danger of the modern open
road, and have taken quick steps to
pull the smaller bird out of the way is
rather open to doubt.
The bird mind, such as it is, doesn't
function that way.
If We look for normal explanation Of
such seeming heroic acts, we must try
to understand what bird understands,
and no more.
II the observer fails to do this, he is
