BY LILLIAN COX ATHEY.

Fluttering leaves that are in con-
slant motion, If the slightest breeze
comes along, have long been the
reason for naming this aspen tree
the "quaking asp" It is the smaller
cousin Of the large-toothed aspen,
with which we are more familiar.
The aspens are members Of a pop
ular family. The quaker, being a
Northern cousin, is to be found from
Labrador across Canada to Alaska.
1t is also found in many Of the
Northern States and as far South
as Pennsylvania and Kentucky.
We find that 1t reaches Its highest
development in the far north. Here
1t has learned to overcome obstacles.
1t takes a firm and steady hold
through its vast root system into the
soil and sends up its branches to a
height of 100 feet or more. The
straight, tapering trunk is smooth,
a lovely gray-green or yellowish-
green bark covering 1t. The
branches themselves are slender and
rather compact. The tree, when
clothed in the summer in its dark
green, ovate leaves with their prom
inent stems, gives an impression Of
snugness. Where the trees have
plenty Of room, the branches are
likely to spread slightly.
The buds are ovate, slightly scaly
and well waxed. They are an aid
in identifying the tree in spring
when they begin to swell. The flow-
ers arrive in April. They are diecious
and in pendulous catkins, 2 to 3
inches in length. Male or staminate
flowers have reddish anthers, while
the female or pistillate ones are
green with spreading stigmas. The
bracts are deeply cut. The wind
is their agent, sitting the pollen from
the staminate to the pistillate flow
ers and during a spanking breeze
you can see the showers Of pollen
shaken from the resting place so
that it may float in the air and

full whether much economy will be
practiced.
Congress is mainly at fault. It has
refused to provide an intermediate
credit system to provide capital loans
for American business, and it has
refused to listen to common sense
pleas for readjustment of the tax
burden so as to provide incentive for
business. There never was any bet
ter way of increasing the national
income and providing employment
than to remove the impediments to
free flow of capital. These are by
no means entirely in the legislative
area, but many of them are, and if
Senator Pat Harrison, who wants
spending curtailed and who presides
over the all-important Senate FL
nance Committee, will work with
equal fervor for removal of the i'm
pediments in tax laws, in banking
laws, in securities laws, in labor laws.
to the flow Of capital and the ex-
change of goods in Americas huge
domestic market, then the gestures
OF today will become the achieve
ments of tomorrow. Otherwise the
talk of economy and curtailed
spending will be merely another

the political aisle have of late be-
come aggressive spokesmen,

panSlon OF and the financing of the
private utility business.
The hypocracies of Congress are
usually most numerous in the field
Of spending. Each member has his
pet project. And when appropria-
ton bills are presented for passage,
they usually have been log-rolled into
final form by mutually assisting in
terests so that it is difficult to vote
out any items specifically.
To get the record straight, it is i'm
portant to recall that Secretary
Morgenthau gave Congress an econ
omy program in the autumn of 1887,
but within a few weeks thereafter it
was rejected by Congress and a re-
sumption of deficit financing" was
announced.
Today the policy of spending to
maintain purchasing power is en-
trenched as stop-gap, but not as
permanent program. The admin
istration would gladly cut the
budget and eliminate the emergency
expenditures if some one could guar
antee that private industry and bus
mess would Immediately re-employ

similar relief works. It's the transi-
tion period with its risks of seri-
GUS deflation that the administra-
ton fears, and until a substitute for

During his 21a years as Spanish
Ambassador in Washington, Senor
DR.. Don Fernando de los Rios always
impressed American friends with
three outstanding characteristics
peculiarly sensitive and all-inclusive
intellectually, warmth of human
feeling which impels him to think
highly OF every individual he meets,
and a glowing integrity which makes
him transparency uncomfortable in
the role of diplomacy. Capital news
papermen agree that no diplomat
accredited here since the World War
has commanded more of their re-
spect and trust than de los Rios.
They like his habit of handing out
straight stuff, his refusal to bluff his
way through embarrassing questions,

Washington .newspapermen note
with satisfaction the appointment
of G. F. Steward as press liaison
officer for the visit of King George
and Queen Elizabeth in June.
Although Mr.. Steward is a profess
sional foreign office career man. his
duties have been almost exclusively
IN connection with press affairs. He
knoWns personally nearly all Ameri-
can correspondents who have had
European assignments since 1929.
They met him first at the ill-starred
London Economic and Monetary
Conference in 1888, and later at
League meetings in Geneva, where
he was generally attached to the
British delegation. In his middle
fortles, Mr.. Steward is a passionate
golfer, so that, if royal press rela-
tions here allow him any time of,
it'll probably be spent on the links.
He talks. with British accent, the
language of the American repor-
torial fraternity and understands its
requirements.
One Of the last official tasks of
Ambassador Eirosi Saito, before he
retired last year. was to advise the
japanese government to abandon
anti-Semitism as a national policy.
Undoubtedly the late diplomat was
influenced by the hostility which
Hitler's program arouses in the
United States. BY a grim coinci-
dence, the Toxic government pro-
claimed, on almost the same day

He is 2 modest lad, 81 years old,

Raymond White, trying to study law,
under Rhodes scholarship, and
wants to be let alone. The press
is too intrusive and the students
too aloof. So 1t is definitely re-
ported he will complete only one
seminar at Oxford, rejoining the
Pirates next fall and finishing his
law course as best he may in some
American University. His older
brother Sam completed a course in
medicine under a Rhodes scholar
ship. He eased through quietly,
under no such incubus as Whizzer's
All-America notoriety.
He wears glasses when he isn't
playing football, likes to take dive
into book whenever he has a
chance. wears his Oxford gown and
mortar board easily and looks like
any other personable young student,
but that turn with the Pirates ap-
pears to have put him "in trade"
and the pro gentlemen of oxford
regard him as a mere amateur.
From the time he was IL he worked
in the beet fields near his native
wellington, Colo, and then in his
fathers lumber yard. He was gre
garious and popular at the Uni
versity of Colorado, scoring a Phi
Beta Kappa key. as we'll as an all
America football rating. Judging
from this writer's observation on
the other side, neither accolade
would mean much there
He was explicitly and vehemently
informed by a young Cambridge
honors man that "one buys his de-
gree in America, putting down so
pounds for bachelors degree, 100
pounds for a master of arts and $50
pounds for doctor of philosophy"
He explained, minutely, the way
the pay windows are arranged at
place called Hayward" or "Harv-
ward" or something like that" No
wonder young Whizzer White is
