Neutrality Once More
Cincinnati Enquirer)

After an interval of quiet but not necessarily of the neutrality issue is again before Congress in vigorous fashion. Secretary of State Corden Hull has submitted to House and Senate com
 ittees definite program for revision of the Neutral ity Act now woefuy inadequate after automatic lapse of one important section last May l. It is an administration proposal
 Secretary Hurs program is closer to the Pullman resolution than any other already submitted It would drop the arms embargo plan and substitute for it comprehensive cash and carry plan Arms or raw materias-they are equally important factors in warfare--woud be sold abroad in wartime, but only to nations willing to send their ships to our ports and nations able to pay cash That is the substance, not the letter of MT Hulls program. He would allow little opportunity for carriage of exports Tn American bottoms provided the latter do not enter combat zones.
 This is not perfect formula There is none. But either this or Senator Pittmans measure would be immensely better than the ineffective, misshapen law now on the statute books. Either of them would do more to keep out of war and more to insure our strength helping France and England rather than Germany.
 Stronger isolatonist methods would be possible But they would demand of the American people such sacrifices of trade that they probably would be re- pealed by popular pressure if broke in Europe At the other extreme measure could be drawn which would insure greater solidarity of the United States and the European democracies But such bill based the principle of embargoes against aggressors would encounter stiff opposition in Congress.
 MT Hull has offered a sound middle course Rather than expose the country to the risks which may come in future months, Congress would do well to enact this or Senator Pttman's measure.

The Unimportance of Bergdoll
lPhiladelnhia. Recordl

tPnadelpn1a RecOful
 It is our feeling that the importance of MT. Grover Cleveland Bergdoll has been woefully magnified To us, he is pathetically unimportant, man who once was a symbol of the hated draft-dodger but who to- day is merely unpleasant sort of person who is so anxious to get out of Hitlers Germany that he pre- face criminal charges here He should be tried on those charges without vengeance or a pumped up revival of the wartime hatredS
 There were other draft-dodgers who, less foolish than Bergdoll, stayed home and cashed in. There were those patriots who told the United States Gov ernment-during the war-that it could buy mun- tionS only if t met the price demanded. Yes, there were dozens other specimens of similar stripe and also have come to know not only draft-dodgers but debt-dodgers to whom loaned money only to be dubbed Uncle Shylock.
 No it's better to let the sleeping dogs of those cid hatreds lie. That's why hope Congress quashes the move to bar Bergdo from residence by special legislation, which oddly enough, would put premium for the future just such escapades. Bergdoll doesn't warrant that much attention. Instead, let him be treated like any John Doe, with trial in open court. and the punishment that court decides to be proper.
 There more important questions for Congress to get excited about than Bergdoll-among them, legislation to keep us out of another such war.

cHoroscobe The stars incline
 but do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, JUNE IA, 1939

WEDNESLA1 ', JUNE l4, IJ3S
 Astrologers read this as an un- important day in planetary direc- tions. Routine matters will be for tunate and changes should be avoid ed.
 It is an unfavorable date for sign ling contracts, leases or agreements. Delay in closing deals is advised.
 As 1889 university graduates seek employment they may meet disap- pointments unless they have devel- oped superior talents. The stars promise better luck in the autumn.
 Girls may expect unusual aGvan- tages as young men are absorbed by military or naval organizations en- gagged in preparedness tasks.
 This is not a fortunate day for asking favors. Political promises are easily forgotten under this rule of the stars and persons who wield influence in business will be ex tremely cautious.
 Banks and bankers are to face many difficult problems in finance Transactions involving large amounts of money may be difficult to promote.
 As war clouds continue to over cast Europe the stars seem to in dicate that isolation for the United States is an idle dream. Closer ties will be welded among governments of the Americas.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of advancement, but there may be unexpected chang es. Women are to enjoy pleasant environment if their homes are transferred to new locations.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be determined and force full in character. Supreme success is probable if the right careers are chosen.

ALASKA DUST STORMS

Looked upon nowadays the bane of mankind dust storm were the making of parts of Alaska Kodiak lsapo for instance, though that was good many years ago. The old saying, There is nothing new under the sun holds true in this depart ment Alaska had dust storms 20OO years ago, cording to Dr. Alex Hrdlicka of the Smithsonian Institution.
 The earliest settlement Kodiak island is esti mated to have just about 2OOO years ago before the beginning of the Christian With the passing of the glaciers the surface of the lower parts of the island consisted largely of barren boulder -strewn gravel Then came dry spell with 'robber" winds from the mainland picking up large quantities of loose soil from the barren surface of the peninsula and de- posting it on the glacial till of Kodiak Island. These soil deposits, known loess. continued accumuatng period of time until depth of approximately Is feet had been reached. Then climatic change place and tsrrental rains occurred This caused the loose fertile soil to become packed and vegetation quickly covered the island From this time Kodiak Island has been inhabited by people of CT another
 The poet has said the proper study of mankind is man. However Dr Hrdlicka would revise that dc- tum and declare that the best study of the human is the ancient relics and bones of other years
 Not so long ago. Dr Hrdlicka discovered of the most remarkable aboriginal cultures yet found in the New World on Kodiak Island. The skeleton
 
 hollows made in the glacial gravels beneath dense accumulatons of debris. While they not what archeoogiss would term ancient they the earliest yet unearhed in the far north and in a remarkable state of preservation These findings indicate that the island thcky populated by peoples who used it as stepping ng-stone from Asia to the North American continent
 It is on Kodiak Island that Dr. Hrdicka spent the past summer to resume the quest for facts as to how the Asiatics migrated to America. He has al- sTeady found that two distinct physical types sue to have been cannbalstic, and while the of to hvae been cennbalstic, and while the cause of its disappearance is unknown, it is thought it was due to either wholesale massacre migration to Alaska epdenics or all three

CI0se to IsOlationism

Most authorities seems to agree that we're now about two-thirds up the ladder toward isolationism. Sec retary Hull would bring us down a rung or two and put us about mid way of the two extremes. He figures it's better not to tell tile world in advance exactly where we would stand in a new World War
 Here's the situation:
 l. Our present law leaves it to the President to declare when hos tilities between nations becomes a war since it is no longer fashion able or customary to declare" wars

 tWe tried that in the World War, by the way The COW kicked us into the war, and spilled our milk to bootD
 All of this means our policy on neutrality may be either one of two extremea-ct somewhere in be- tween
 l. We can reaSsert the freedom Of the seas-whatever that means and insist on selling our goods where we please, or,
 2. We can abandon our rights on the oceans, and insulate ourselves by isolation.
 Most authorities agree that EX- treme No. is a sure invitation to war-if the world has another war. We'd simply repeat our 1916 drift toward trouble Finally we'd have Ito jump in to defend the honorz-or Itrade-0f some of our enterprising Isalesmen in the international mar ket Nations at war simply will not watch the goods of a neutral going to the enemy.
 On the other hand, if history means anything much. Extreme No I2 might lead to an internal econ omic crisis, as it did in 1912. Dit erally thousands of seamen and workers in the export and import business would be thrown outs of jobs. The clamor for flair profit would be deafening. Could political leaders resist 1t? They never have
 The mere fact that Extreme No. 1 has twice led us into war has been enough to drive Congress further and further toward Extreme No. 2
