Believes Supply and Demand
Should Fix Wages.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
That the primary contest in Kentucky
was between two rival labor organiza-
tons, according to press reports, reveals
a new and dangerous element in ma
tional politics. Possibly the two major
political parties will in 1910, be headed
by John L. Lewis and William Green,
respectively. History will record as
most unfortunate incident the huge do
nation by Mr.. Lewis labor union to
the New Deal campaign fund. That
marked the beginning of class antag-
onism in American politics.
When the truth comes to be realized
that labor unions are organized for the
sole purpose Of securing an unfair adj
vantage of their members over the 80
per cent who are not organized and when
it is realized that these advantages
are secured by the use of force and
frequent conflict with officers of the law,
labor unions will then no longer be
favored either by legislative bodies or
public sentiment. Rates of wages are
rightfully fixed by one force only, that
of supply and demand The only legiti-
mate way to raise wages is to create
conditions where there are many oppor-
tunities for every one wanting to work.
The taxation of ground rents only will
accomplish this result.

A Health Program

The budget estimates of the Dis
trict's Health Department for the
l941 fiscal year contain two groups
of requests which deserve the most
thorough consideration.
The first and largest of these is
the beginning Of a six-year program
OF expansion of the preventive medi-
cine services of the department. The
second is the fitting of Gallinger
Hospital to the needs of the COM
munity. About three years ago the
department undertook to adapt the
basic program of preventive medicine
of the Public Health Service to the
problems of Washington. 1t was
hoped last year to include funds for
this purpose in the budget for the
present fiscal year, but conditions
made this impossible. The entire
programs adoption would cost an
estimated million and a half dollars,
and the present estimates for next
year provide about three-quarters of
a million for the first years work.
The largest items in this group
would be the establishment of a
health center in the Northwest Sec
ton similar to the Southwest poly
clinic, work on which Is about to
begin, and the setting up of a mental
hygiene bureau to provide diagnosis
and treatment for an estimated four
thousand cases of mental maladjust-
ment.
The program for Gallinger Hos
pital, which was recommended by
the Public Health Service after
survey made at the request Of Dis
trict and congressional leaders, like
wise would be spread over several
years The most important item in
the present estimates calls for a
children's ward building, now gravely
needed; additional staff quarters and
a new laboratory.
The needs of Gallinger speak for
themselves. The municipal hospital
has been community problem Tor
many years. And the ACCESSIBILITY
of increasing the preventive work OF
the department is just as urgent.
Washington is able to boast progress
in reducing it's death rate from more
than fifteen per thousand in 1929 to
less than thirteen in 1888. But it
still has a higher mortality average
than twenty of the twenty-six major
cities. Even with this record, the
Health Department estimates more
than a thousand lives have been
saved in the past five years as
direct result of increased health
facilities.
Public health, unlike individual
health, is something which can be
bought. The price is not unreason-
ably high when the dividends paid
in general welfare are considered.

Respite in Europe

Europe, despite ominous develop
ments in Germany, moved in an
atmosphere of lessened tension today
and hope that the forces arrayed
against war might yet prevail was
revived as the British government
studied what was reported to be a
new offer from Hitler for settlement
of the Polish issue.
Upon this new offer, said to ap-
proximate Hitler's original demand
that he be given Danzig and
pathway through the Corridor to
East Prussia, may well hinge the
issue of peace or war. If in fact
the German Chancellor is willing to
accept one of President Roosevelt's
proposals for settlement of the con-
troversy and if his minimum de-
nands do not compromise Poland's
sovereignty, the controversy can and
will be adjusted without resort to
arms.
Such a settlement, of course, would
necessarily involve retreat on the
part of Hitler and it is pertinent to
consider some of the factors which
may have played part in per-
suading him to moderate his tactics.
First, and most important, is the
fact for once the Fuehrer was
brought face to face with the neces-
sity of actually going to war to
achieve his goal. Austria and
Czecho-S lovakia were taken without
the firing of shot, but Poland, with
the support of France and Britain,
was resolved to fight in her own
defense and that resolution has
withstood the buffeting of attempts
at intimidation.
The second factor is to be found
In the unmistakable reluctance OF
Mussolini to take part in the forcible
partitioning of Poland. 1t cannot be
assumed that II Duce would have
abandoned his axis partner had Ger
man troops marched against Poland,
but all the evidence indicates that
Mussolini has no appetite for that
adventure and has done his utmost
to dissuade Hitler from undertake
Ing it.
A third explanation may be found
In the success which has crowned
the efforts OF the Pope, King Leopold
and President Roosevelt to enlist the
support OF world opinion on the side
OF peace. Hitler's record indicates
that he has little regard for the
opinions OF other men, but even he
may have hesitated yesterday when
1t became apparent that he could
not strike without assuming full re-
Sponsibility for being the instigator
OF disastrous and needless war.
It Is probable that no one of these
factors had a decisive influence on
the German dictator. No doubt all
contributed to his decision not to
march at this time. But be that as
1t may, peace has been saved for the
moment and for that respite, brief
though it may prove to be, world
Is grateful.

War and Languages

Dean Henry Grattan Doyle of
George Washington University has
raised an interesting question in a
recent magazine article by asking
what will happen to the study of
modern foreign languages in this
country in the event of another
world war.
Harking back twenty years to
World War days, he recalls the will
ingness of the people of this Nation
to rule out German opera, Vienna
rolls and Dresden china. BY 1918
the Journal of Education reported
fourteen States had abolished the
teaching of the German language
and sixteen others had campaigns
to that end in progress.
Dean Doyle sees the same symp-
toms again prevalent today and, in
fact, feels the only difference is that
Italian and possibly even Spanish
may be included in the ban.
AS matter of fact, far from being
unpatriotic, it would seem a knowl-
edge of foreign languages, especially
those of ones enemies, would be very
useful in time of war. At any rate
it would seem silly to take out" on
the arts and languages of any coun-
try the animoSity one has toward It's
form of government.
Such action might recall the Mid
western gasoline dealer whose adj
vertisement included the statement
that he was 200 per cent American.
A query from a customer brought the
explanation that 100 per cent
American hates all foreigners, but
he hated everybody.

took during the World War when
ability of the allied governments to
float loans here obviated the neces-
sity of immediate mobilization of
American securities by nationals of
those governments. Actually, nearly
year passed before forced liquida-
ton of British-owned American
securities began.
For the two years 1915 and 1915,
however, exports of war purchases
from the United States exceeded
imports by nearly $5,00O,O0OOO with
an estimated $4,000, 100000 of this
total being purchased with the pro-
ceeds of the sale of foreign-owned
American securities. Throughout, this
liquidation had a depressing effect
on our markets although it was more
than counterbalanced by the even
tual sharp increase in industrial
production and profits and the con-
sequent appreciation in stock values.

Unhappy Radicals

Earl Browder, general secretary of
the Communist party in the United
States, has explained that, in his
judgment, the treaty between Russia
and Germany exposes the sham of
the Nazis' anti-Bolshevik propa-
ganda. 1t appears to have been de-
cided that the official radical atti-
tude shall be one of distortion of the
plainly obvious facts Perhaps with
out invidious intention, 1t is being
argued that Hitler is the loser in the
deal concluded Wednesday night.
But the answer is plain enough. If
Der Fuehrer's rawlings against Com
muniSm are seen to have been moth
ing but pretense, so too the fulmina-
lions of Soviet agitators against Fas-
cism are disclosed to have been
fraudulent. Also, if Stain is a win
ner over Hitler, then Hitler by the
same logic is a victor over Stain.
Each dictator was guided by expe-
diency; neither by any motive de-
serving to be called idealism. The
result of their mutual opportunism
is to embarrass their followers in
America. Especially unhappy is the
plight of Russia's friends. They have
capitalized on the growing distrust
and hatred of the Nazis. Now, if they
are to be loyal to their leaders, they
must defend the thing they have
detested.
The reaction to recent events in
Europe may not be plainly discern
ible in America Immediately. But
already there are indications that
radicalism of every sort, extreme and
moderate alike, will suffer a loss of
prestige because of the partnership
which now has been established be-
tween Moscow and Berlin. The in
terests Of Communism and Fascism
are not identical with those of de-
mocracy, they never have been, they
never will be. 1t was an aspect of the
radical strategy to pretend that they
were, but that contention has been
disposed of by the cooperation in
which Russia and Germany cur
rently are linked.

Stretching the Law

In permitting the United States
attorney and an assistant in Pitts
burgh to retain their positions while
seeking elective office in Pennsyl-
vania county governments, the De-
partment of Justice is applying an
elastic Interpretation to the Hatch
Act that is warranted neither by the
merits of the case nor by the law
itself.
When the Hatch Act prohibiting
political activity by Federal office
holders was passed, Attorney Gen.
eral Murphy called for the resigna-
ton of Charles F. Uhl, United States
attorney, who is aspiring to judge
ship in the Court of Common Pleas
of Somerset County, and his aide,
John D. Ray, candidate for district
attorney of Beaver Falls. They are
running in the Democratic primary
to be decided September IL.
Mr.. Ray submitted his resignation;
Mr.. Uhl did not. At the same time,
the Attorney General was informed
that pending matters made it advis-
able for both to stay in office for the
time being. It also was pointed out
that the period in which they could
have withdrawn from the county
races had expired.
Thereupon, the Department of
Justice agreed that the press of bust
ness required them to hold on, Ed
ward G. Kemp, assistant to the At
torney General explaining in letter
to Mr.. Uhl that "in the existing cir
cumstances it would seem to be more
consistent with the public interest
and do no violence to the purpose or
spirit of the Hatch law for you to
defer your resignation for the time
being and for the department also to
defer acceptance of Mr. Rays resig-
nation" In the meantime, they were
admonished to refrain from ad-
dressing public meetings or other
wise engaging in political activities
prohibited by the Hatch law"
Mr.. Uhl is unopposed in the pri-
mary, and therefore is relieved of the
necessity of exerting any effort In
behalf of his candidacy, but there is
no getting around the fact that by
the very act of seeking Office both he
and Mr.. Ray are engaging in politi-
cal activities prohibited by the Hatch
law" and to infer otherwise is
sophistry.

informed that they viii be expected

on Seventh street caused by motor
vehicles.
Finding No. that crossing in mid
block causes more deaths than any other
pedestrian action" recommends that
full use should be made of barriers to
protect pedestrians from crossing in the
middle of the block"
If conditions are as bad as all that it
Is not understood why the soicitude of
the investigators for the safety of pedes-
TRANS does not prompt some consistent
recommendation such as barring vehicles
from streets where pedestrian congestion
seriously interferes with vehicular traffic.
Evidently the solicitude for pedestrian
safety is mere guise to obtain greater
freedom Of the streets for motorists. The
problem OF reducing accidents will not
be solved by such hypocritical gestures.
