Business and War

Among the many remarkable allie
cations in Chancellor Hitler's Reichs-
tag address was the charge that "a
commission appointed by President
Roosevelt to determine the cause of
Americas entry into the World War"
found that it was inspired exclusive
ly by selfish "capitalistic interests"
Unless the Fuehrer is referring to
general charges made during the Nye
Committees munitions investigation
or possibly to Bernard NJ Baruch's
survey of methods to take the profits
out of war, it is not quite clear what
Hitler was driving at.
If he means to suggest that Ameri-
can business is addicted to war
mongering," the current annual
meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States in WASH
ington furnishes vivid evidence to
the contrary, American business, in
a spirit of self-interest quite differ
ent from that envisioned by Hitler,
Is for peace, not war.
Addressing the American section
of the International Chamber of
Commerce, Thomas J. Watson, its
president, declared that the indus
trialists of the United States are
definite in their determination to
avert war. They are fearful that,
whichever side won, a major con-
f1ict would destroy the american
system" The surest way to avert
such danger, Mr.. Watson holds, is
to keep goods and services moving
both ways" across international
borders. If there is that kind of a
movement, he says, there will be no
soldiers moving across those bor-
ders."
Americans, generally, applaud
those sentiments. It is because they
do SO that the Hull reciprocal trade
program commands wide approval.
1t aims at precisely that two-way
commercial traffic which Mr.. Watson
espouses. The barter system of arti-
ficially stimulated exports is what is
today mainly causing jam in that
traffic.
On the same day that the presi-
dent of the International Chamber
OF Commerce was advocating a freer
flow of trade as the most potent
curb on war, Hitler was assailing the
boycott Of German goods in the
United States. He thinks this coun-
try would do better to take Nazi pro-
duce than welcome the victims of
Nazi oppression. Germany's market
here has shrunk to a shadow of its
former dimensions for several excel
lent reasons: Cd It Is the victim of a
boycott by organized labor, which
disapproves totalitarian suppression
of trade -unionism; (2) Americans of
all classes and creeds resent Nazi
persecution of racial and religious
minorities. They are unwilling to
sustain by purchase of German
wares the regime responsible for
those injustices; and 60 the United
States Government has black Listed
German imports and imposed coun-
tervailing duties on some of them
because in the Nazis desperation to
stop the downward trend of their
exports they are not only discrim-
mating against American trade in
the German market, but are doing
their utmost to undermine it in for
eign markets, notably in Latin
America.

Reader Takes Issue
With Franklin Column.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Were It not for the fact that recent
column by Jay Franklin entitled Higher
Education-Lower Interest" appeared in
such a conspicuous space opposite the
editorial page, it would not ordinarily
merit reply.
The subtle and insidious attack upon
the American schools Of learning cannot
be permitted to go unchallenged. The
Implications are too evident. It is like
wise an assault upon the social order
and also on the very hard-earned savings
of all the people, whether lodged in life
insurance, mortgages, securities Or else
where.
BY inference we are asked to believe
that the drones and incompetents, who
formerly thought the world owed them
. living, have now concluded they were
wrong and that It Is tho oovernnent

Pleased With Writings
OF Constantine Brown.
To the Editor of The Star:

I cannot tell you how much I enjoy
the articles of your foreign correspondent,
Constantine Brown. During these tur-
bulent days of international strife SO
many columnists and correspondents are
trying to fit their articles to conform
with their own prejudices or "ideologies"
that 1t is relief to turn to the realistic
accounts Of your correspondent. The way
he pushes straight through the phrase
mongering of so many high-hats of the
international poker game and gets down
to the facts in humorous and sarcastic
way always delights me. The accuracy
of so many of his predictions speaks for
itself. I hope to read many more OF his
articles in the Washington Star. am
sure Europe will provide him with all
the material he might wish for.

Condition Of Grass in
Warrington Deplored.
To the Editor Of The Star:

In Haskin's column Of The Evening
Star Of April 8 some one asked what
kind of grass seed was sown in the plot
OF ground around the new addition to
the Congressional Library. That ground
was dry and in first-class, pulverized
condition when the seed was put in.
This Is the chief reason that the
grass plot is looking the way all the
grass plots should look in the District OF
Columbia. Most Of the grass plots in the
District are q disgrace to the Govern
ment Of the United States.

Shooting Stors
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.
The Crunch

The Crouch.
The pessimist now looks about
Amid the springtime glow,
And tilts his head and sighs: mo doub
Well have another snow"
He listens to the robins call
And says: Wherefore be gay?
The temperature is apt to fall
Now it's the first of May"
The tiny buds upon the tree
To cheer him can't avail,
"Ha! Hal" cries he, IT plainly see
The fruit crops going to fail"
And so he sings both day and night
His unrelenting song.
Things never seem to him quite right
Unless they're going wrong.

Herdsman Suggests Milk
Problem Remedy.
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Eoltor OF Inc Stars
The recent controversy regarding q
shipment Of cream to local milk plant
has become very amusing to the people
who are acquainted with the milk in
dustry, yet in the minds Of some it seems
to be an occasion for alarm. If the Of
f1cials in the District want to stop such
shipments all they have to do is to make
the outside" shipper meet local require
ments. The Western farmer cannot al
ford to meet local inspection and sell his
milk at the price paid in this territory.
If the farm inspectors in the Washing
ton milk shed were consistent in their
work it would be better for all concerned.
Recently the writer visited farm pro-
ducing about 200 gallons day. The
farmer was ordered by an inspector to
remove some maternity pens in a build
Ing connected with the milking barn, but
the inspector failed to mention the con-
dition Of the exercise yard, which was
anything but dry and In which several
COWS were observed suffering from foul
foot which is not only contagious but Is
very offensive when not properly treated.
All Of the shippers are always COM
planning about the amount Of surplus
milk" they have every month. Why not
cut the retail price and sell some of this
so-called surplus, thereby giving the
children of this city more milk to drink
at price their parents can afford to
pay9
The writer is not writing from hearsay
but has been connected with the industry
for several years as a herdsman and
holds an inspectors and testers license

Ten new scout troops and three
new cub packs were added to the

there is every indication that

ty fair.
