Stumbling Block

The decision of Prime Minister
Chamberlain to send special ennis
sary to Moscow ought to accelerate
Anglo-French-R Russian pact negotia-
lions and bring the alliance to reality
soon, if the few remaining obstacles
can be overcome.
Unfortunately those obstacles lie
deep in the heart of the principle of
an Anglo-French-R Russian alliance,
chief Of them being what to do about
the Baltic states-Estonia Latvia,
Lithuania-all of which have now
concluded nOn-aggression treaties
with Germany.
Russia insists that the system of
guarantees which now embraces
Poland, Rumania, Turkey and Greece
be expanded to cover the Baltic
countries, but this manifestly is not
out of anxiety for the Baltic states
themselves, but arises from fear that
Germany may engulf them, thus
jeopardizing Russia's own security.
The Baltic states feel no desire to
have England, France and Russia
guarantee their. security, preferring
to trust in the pledges of Chancellor
Hitler that he will not attack them,
and Britain takes the wholly reason
able position that it is impossible to
guarantee the security of a state
which wants no such guarantee.
1t would indeed be a paradox if
Britain were to commit herself to 60
to war against Germany, even if the
Baltic states offered no resistance to
being drawn within the German
Reich. Of course, such prospect
is a dread one for Russia, for it
would bring German power north
ward along the Baltic, threatening
to close completely Russias cherished
window on that sea.
The point of danger for Russia is
incorporation of the Baltic states
within the German system so as to
give Germany a common frontier
with the Soviet Union British policy
in guarantees to Rumania and
Greece has been to pledge assistance
in defense if they consider their
independence threatened and active
ly resist the aggression. If the agrees
sion is unresisted, however, there is
no obligation on Britain to fight, so
that the possibility remains in each
of these cases for Britain, in seeking
to stave off war, to persuade the at
tackled states to make no resistance
There is no question now of
Britain's willingness to fight for
Russia if the latter were directly
attacked, but what the British will
not accept is the necessity of fighting
a preventive war on behalf of Russia
should the Baltic baStion fall

Urges Abandonment
OF Submarines.

To the Editor of The Star:
In The Star of June a heading reads.
British Are Bitter at Failure to Save 90
Aboard Thetis." I should think thew
would be! And the Squalls of the United
States Navy went down, carrying 26 to
their doom in dungeon of death by
drowning or suffocation. Why not make
such CHASTITY tragedies impossible by Civ
ing up undersea engines of destruction?
If civilized nations must fight, at times,
why not do it from surface boats? To
go down under water to discharge a
torpedo into the vitals of an unsuspecting
ship seems much like hitting an oppo-
nent below the belt in the ring. Is that
fair warfare?
If other nations insist on using these
undersea ships, so CHASTITY dangerous, at
times, to the brave men who man them,
can not we manage to contrive measures
which will defend our surface ships
against them?
Where is our civilization" taking us
today? Millions unemployed, tens of
thousands hungry, and billions spent for
ornaments? Are we killing ourselves
trying to live? H. B. BRADFORD.

cities previously mentioned.
Major Brown asked the Commits
sioners for an increase next year of
1855 men with which to strengthen
the precincts and to set up in each
of them a special traffic accident
investigating squad. He pointed out
that whereas the city and its popu-
lation have grown by leaps and
bounds in recent years, the size of
the police force has remained about
the same. The Commissioners, ap-
parently in the interests of economy,
cut Major Browns estimate to a
third of the original figures, recon-
mending to the Budget Bureau that
provision be made for fifty addi-
tional men. The Budget Bureau.
which does not have to explain the
why's and wherefores, reduced this
estimate of need to absolute zero.
The House, during hearings on the
appropriation bill, learned of the
Commissioners request for fifty Off
GERS and finally compromised by ap-
proving twenty-five more policemen.
The Senate committee raised the
figure back to fifty, and there it
stands at present. Economy at the
expense of efficient law enforcement
is likely to be costly in the long run.
Congress will do we'll to recognize
this fact in giving consideration to
the urgent need for more policemen
in the District of Columbia.

Wants America 10
Restrict immigration.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The writer is opposed to permitting
more German refugees to come to Amer
lea, because, in my estimation. We cannot
absorb them. There are already mil
lions of unemployed native-born Amer
leans who cannot find employment and
the entrance of great numbers of refugees
will only further clog the labor market.
I feel that our duty is first to our own
people, as charity begins at home, and
that the welfare of our country depends
upon restricted immigration.
1 am a native-born American, and
while I am Gentle, I am not preju-
diced against the members of any race,
and am speaking only from the stand
point OF the good of our country. 1t is
poor business policy to encourage
men and women to come here, unless
they are financially self-supporting or
have an income. so they will not be a
burden on the tax payers.

Tribute to Whitman and
Star Editorial.

To the Editor of The STAR
Let me thank you for the splendid
editorial appearing in a recent edition
OF your valuable paper, namely, Whit
man Exhibition.
To me the good gray poet is universal.
and I trust this exhibition SO kindly
loaned by Mrs. Sprague will result in
many more people becoming acquainted
with the poet of the masses.
Whitman was forceful, magnetic. vet
gentle and kind. He was q mixture of
the physical and spiritual, with, to the
discerning reader, the spiritual dominat-
ing, IN spite of what some critics saw.
II for but one reason alone his memory
is enshrined in our hearts. While a
hospital attendant here in Washington.
during the Civil War, he went from bed
to bed, bringing comfort and cheer to
each and performing mental tasks with
a spirit so kind and gentle all were
blessed with his contact.
May we emulate such a spirit and in
the poets own words, forever onward
forever forward. VIM. R. WALTON,
June I.

More Police Needed

Small though the increase seems
to be in view of the needs, the addi-
ton of fifty men to the Metropolitan
Police Department, as proposed in
the pending District of Columbia
supply bill, would help the local force
to bear with greater ease the singu-
larly heavy burden devolving upon
it by reason of the unique nature of
the police problem in the National
Capital. Police in other cities do not
have to protect foreign embassies
and legations from demonstrations
that might develop into "interna-
tional incidents" nor assign special
details to direct traffic and preserve
order during White House receptions
or other large official functions nor
cope with the variety of marches"
and mass meetings which confront
Washington because it is the seat of
National Government. The visits of
royalty and other distinguished
guests of the nation place grave re-
sponsibilities on the Metropolitan
Police Department, yet it is expected
to handle such situations as a matter
of routine It does so in an efficient
manner-not because of any surplus
of facilities and personnel, but in
spite of the lack thereof.
The Superintendent of Police,
Major Ernest w. Brown, now COM
mands force of 1897 men who
police an area of approximately sew
enty square miles, This is about
twenty policemen for each square
mile, as compared with twenty-five
in Milwaukee and thirty-one in Buff
falo, which are cities of approx
mately the same population; thirty,
each, in San Francisco and st. Louis:
and forty-nine in Boston, all of
which have larger populations; and
fifty-four in Newark, New Jersey,
which is smaller city than Wash
ington. Latest available figures on
ratio of police to population show
that Washington has 222 policemen
per thousand of population-less
than Baltimore, Boston or Newark
but slightly more than the other

Reader Not Impressed
With Moral Rearmament,
TO the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
am not flattered by those who have
urged me to participate in moral rearma-
ment. In the first place, must in self
defense remind them that have always
practiced absolute honesty, absolute pur-
lty, absolute love, ETC.; and in the second
place, if they doubt that, why should I
not doubt their own absolutes? And
finally, what has my record of honesty
brought me conomically-absolute zero,
for I am pauper, without resources
except capacity to produce by labor.
1t seems to me that the introduction of
absolute" into M. r. AS recommended
lions Git has no platform, nor dues, nor
officers am told, Is altogether too naive.

Child Labor RuIina

The Supreme Court reached a
logical conclusion in holding that
Congress alone has the power to say
how long a pending proposal to
amend the Constitution retains it's
vitality"
The question was raised by chal-
lenges directed at the Child Labor
Amendment from Kansas and Ken
lucky on the ground-among others
that having been submitted to the
States fifteen years ago, a reasonable
time for ratification had elapsed and
that therefore the amendment no
longer was subject to approval.
The high tribunal, however, de-
cided it could not pass on this point,
as the determination of reason
ableness Lies within the congress
sional province" and is not open to
court review.
In the final analysis, the time
element is not of particular i'm
portance in procuring adoption Of
an amendment to the Constitution.
Granting, for sake of argument, that
some proposal, long hanging fire,
ultimately should win approval of
threefourths of the States at a time
when it was obvious that majority
sentiment had turned against it,
there is little doubt but that Con-
gress, responsive to the electorate,
would have power to decide that rati-
fication had not come within rea-
sonable time and that therefore the
issue was dead. That such a course
would be available to the legislative
branch is made clear in the majority
opinion by Chief Justice Hughes.
On the contrary, increasing favor
