The Pittmun Statement

The announcement by Chairman
Pittman of the Senate Foreign Rela-
tions Committee that the new neu-
trality bill to be submitted to his
committee next week will contain an
"all-embracing" cash-and-carry plan
should be welcomed by those who are
genuinely interested in keeping the
United States out OF the European
war.
Irrespective of what may be said
by opponents of other features of
the proposed legislation, an effective
cash-and-carry plan has the sole
purpose OF insulating this country
against involvement in the conflict
While opening our markets to the
belligerents, it would require that
they take title to their purchases
in this country and transport them
in other than American vessels.
Adoption of such a provision would
guard against the danger, which
exists in very real form under the
present law, that ships flying our
flag may be sunk by belligerent naval
forces and that we might be drawn
into the war in an effort to protect
American lives and property.
1t is obvious, of course, that enact
ment of cash-and-carry plan has
disadvantages. Without a doubt, it
would penalize our own merchant
marine and, in the opinion of many
qualified authorities, it necessarily
would involve at least a partial aban-
donment on our part of our tradi-
tional adherence to the freedom of
the seas doctrine. These objections
to the cash. and-carry plan have
been carefully considered, however,
and in the judgment of its pro-
ponents they are far outweighed by
the protection against involvement
in war which would result from its
adoption.
But If the country is to be asked
to make these sacrifices, relatively
minor though they be, it is i'm
perative that the legislation to be
enacted shall constitute a cash-and-
carry plan in the literal sense. There
must be no loopholes that can be
foreseen and guarded against. It
would be futile gesture indeed for
this Government to give up some of
its rights under international law
and compel its maritime industry
to forego a lucrative wartime trade
in exchange for a cash-and-carry
plan which offered any less than the
maximum of protection against the
menace of war.
It is for this reason that The
Star heartily approves the statement
by Senator Pittman, which un-
doubtedly was made with the ap-
proval of the President, that the
neutrality law to be submitted next
week will include an ll-embracing
cash and-carry feature. With such
a safeguard in the bill, the arms
embargo should be repealed, and, in
all probability, the announcement
by Senator Pittman will facilitate
the attainment of that eminently
desirable objective.

would seem reasonable to presume that
all facts requisite to the determination
of any issue within the purview Of the
Presidents ONCE have been brought to
his attention and given gravest consid-
Grafton. The will Of the majority was
served in his election. Does 1t not bee
hoove us all then, rather to bow to supe-
rior counsel and judgment and follow
the plan he urges, than to proceed
half-enlightened upon q possibly preju-
diced cause Of hearsay or snap Judgment
that may lead more directly TO the east
than the course he has charted.
This is no time for gossip, jealousy or
politics. This is serious business involv-
ing you and me and ours.

Wonders Why Clipping Papers
II Worth $500 . Year.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
just read in The Star where q young
lady high. in the Roosevelt administra-
tion's favor has had her salary raised to
$500 yearly for the simple reason that
she is good at clipping newspapers. I
hear so much talk of helping the poor
and Justice for all-what about us who
have had the misfortune to have been
born in the District of Columbia without
a vote or any real representation, who
struggle along trying to raise family on
$1,000? We can't get more than that be-
cause We have no representation

better than clip newspapers. D.L.

Q. How does a Resonoscope work.
H. A. H.
A. The Resonoscope ingeniously COM
bines a set of IL master tuning forks
electrically actuated, and their notes are
translated into corresponding electrical
terms, with microphone, amplifier, loud
speaker and cathode ray tube. The tun-
ing forks are mounted on a wheel which
in turn is rotated by the main dial knob
90 that any fork corresponding to tho
desired note can be brought in position
between the electromagnets. This in
strument is now being used extensively
in the tuning Of reed instruments and
will soon be used in piano tuning. Prev
ious to the introduction Of the Resono-
scope the actual number Of vibrations
could only be measured in the laboratory.
Instruments were tuned by comparison
with master pitches"

Lamb Repeat Can be Tasty

A roast of lamb may be large or small as you choose, but it is usually expected to provide food for more than one meal. Then the question arises of how best to serve it in these repeat appear ances." Roast lamb is always good sliced cold, but there are other tempting ways to use 1t, says 1nez s. Wilson, home economist.
 One of the most popular ways to serve leftover lamb is in a meat pie, with vegetables. Here is a delicious lamb pie.
 Lamb Pie
 Take 1 cup carrot balls, 8 to 10 small white onions, E cup celery, green pepper. sliced and pimiento, diced. Cook these until they are nearly done. Then add the diced leftover lamb and leftover gravy. Put into casserole and cook long enough so that the meat will be thoroughly heated.
 A border of mashed potatoes piped around the edge will add a dainty touch to this dish. Place 1t in the broiler oven for long enough to brown the potato border.
 For luncheon, even for luncheon party, lamb Ia king is an ex- cellent dish. An easy way to man. age a luncheon party is to have roast lamb for dinner the night before and use what is left this way.
 Lamb . la King
 Take 2 cups of cold cooked lamb, cut into cubes. Melt tablespoons butter and combine 4 tablespoons flour with it. Gradually add 1 cup of milk and 1 cup lamb stock or hot water and stir until the sauce is thickened. Then add the diced lamb, 1-2 cup celery, diced, small can of button mushrooms, 1-2 cup peas, pimiento, sliced green pepper, diced, and season with salt and pepper. Serve in patty shells. Place cube of currant jelly on top of each.

New Flavor  |Cara11els

Long winter evenings and candy making seem to go together. On the nights when all the family is home, there's nothing more tun thai, to gather in the Kitchen and stir up a batch or two of candy. What kind of candy? Caramels, by all means! There's something so satisfactory about caramels-their chewiness. their rich full flavor! These rum caramels have an intriguing flavor just a never -so-delicate suspicion of rum which enhances the mellow richness of the caramel. This is a grand recipe for your next candy making session.
 Rum Caramels 2 cups sugar
 2 cups light corn syrup
 1-2 cup butter
 11-2 cups irradiated evaporated milk
 | tsp. rum fiavoring
 Boil sugar and corn syrup to 245 degree F. (very firm balD. Add butter, then milk slowly so that mix ture does not stop boiling at any time. Cook quickly to PAP degrees F, (firm balD, stirring frequently. To test candy in water, drop little from spoon into 8 bowl of cold water. The test candy should be the f1rmness and and chewiness that you want the finished caramel to be. Add rum flavoring and pour into a shallow layer in a buttered pan When thoroughly cold, turn from pan onto a board and cut in squares with 8 sharp knife, using saw like motion. Yield: About 2 lbs.
 The concentration and creamy consistency of irradiated evaporated milk make it ideal for the prep aration of candies. This double-rich milk produces candies of rich flavor fine texture, superby smoothness and at the same time contributes con- siderable food value. It's economical too. Use irradiated evaporated milk in all your candy-making.

Pleasing The Man
BY CHLOE JAMESON

Is he fond of onions? Then sometime surprise him with a nice fat onion pie. It's delicious for dem as likes 'em, as our old cook used to say. She learned the secret Of this strange pie through backdoor visits to the kitchen of a wealthy German family whose table fairly bent beneath its load of good things to eat.
 One makes the usual pie crust, and for it's filling peels and slices a huge Bermuda onion which should be allowed to cook slowly in cov- cred saucepan, with plenty of but ter added, until well done. Cool the onions slightly, drain them and place them in the crust; then pour over them 8 custard mixture made with one well-beaten egg and three tablespoons of milk, sweetened ever so slightly, and seasoned with a dash of salt Place the pie in 8 medium oven and bake until the crust is done and the custard sets.
 Serve either hot or cold, and if you do not consider 1t as a vegetable for dinner service, then use 1t as supper dish to help out 8 leftover menu.

Frogs Legs
