Usually what these people have to say
is more or less of slur at the South, or
to say the least Of 1t, tinged with bit

The expressions Of some of these
"Southerners" give a real Southerner q

enough to learn that 'you-all" is much

q few months spent in Miami or some
other winter resort in Florida for one to

capable Of acquiring the finer senti-
ments Of the real southerner.
It seems to me that If the editors Of
the Warrington papers wanted to be fair
and impartial they would make some
effort to inquire into the background of
these "Southerners" who are usually
intent only at taking poke at the
South. I have seen and heard more

Germany on Rutions

In starting at this time to ration
food, Germany is capitalizing on the
bitter experience Of the World War
when the scarcity of supplies sped
the hour of her defeat.
Even as early as September, 1914,
German troops on the Western Front
were complaining of the lack of food,
and when the end came four years
later, the famine stage was ap-
preaching.
AS a matter of fact, the food situa-
ton throughout Europe was pre-
carious by that time, with the coun-
tries there generally looking this way
for relief.
Berlin describes the present step
as q "pre-war measure Of conserva-
tion," and from all indications, it is
no more than that. There is no
shortage in evidence, and the ra-
tioning program, while stringent, is
not calculated to work hardship.
There is said to be plenty of bread,
potatoes, vegetables and rye and

Nothing very unusual about that, Is
there? Entire nations at times seem to
operate under exactly the same impress

Every one has encountered some pred

many men live without showing any par
ticular evidences of this old basic ami
NAL.
Some persons realize, often to their
own regret, that they are so far civilized,
that they do not have enough OF this
trait left for their own good. These
are the people who, in times of stress
lack the power Of striking swiftly and

Bird friends will not like to think

her? They come only for the food?
Let the human involved withhold the

No one can blame the birds They

feathered life blame the occasional bird
which forgets its good manners so far
as to fly down at the person who is
trying to help and to peck him on the
head until the blood flows.

Useful Invention

The production of a newspaper is

mechanical end of it being most i'm
pressive to the casual observer. He
is usually fascinated by long snake
like tubes disgorging copy into the
composing room, to be distributed to
the linotypes, which in themselves
seem almost alive and practically
endowed with intelligence. He sees
type assembled, locked up and rolled
under mats. He sees casts made from
these, and put on the presses. And
when they start, he can neither see
nor hear anything else until the edi-
ton is run off.
At the end he pays we'll l-deservcd

Americas Policy

The present war scare In Europe
has served to revive discussion of
what the role of the United States
ought to be in event of actual hos
tilities. This is question which
was Side-stepped during the closing
days of the last session of Congress,
when the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee by margin of one vote
refused to consider administrations
sponsored amendments to the neu-
trality law, but the development of
the current European crisis and its
profound effect on this country
demonstrate that it is a question
which, sooner or later, we must re-
examine.
In recent addresses, Assistant Sec
retary of War Louis Johnson and
Hugh R. Wilson, Ambassador to
Germany, have stressed the conten-
ton that the action of Congress in
retaining the arms embargo and
refusing to approve the admins
trations "cash-and-carry" plan has
inadvertently encouraged Hitler in
his present effort to partition Poland.
1t is, OF course, impossible to deter
mine the precise extent to which
the American Congress has con-
tributed to the furtherance Of Hit
ler's ambitions, but it cannot be
doubted that the contribution has
been a substantial one.
Our present policy is beneficial to
Germany and the other axis powers
because, if war breaks out, they will
be better prepared, at least during
its early stages. With the embargo
in effect, neither side would be able
to purchase munitions or implements
of war in this country, thus enabling
the axis to retain its initial ad-
vantage. Should the arms embargo
be repealed and the cash-and- carry
plan substituted for it, however, the
situation would be reversed. The
democracies of Europe, because of
their superior naval strength, would
then have access to our markets and
the totalitarian powers would not.
At the same time, the danger of
American involvement in the war
would be minimized, because the
foreign purchasers would have to
pay for their commodities in this
country and transport them in their
own ships.
If it be argued that the effect of
such a course would be to throw
our material support to the British
and French, it must be answered
that any legislative attempt at neu-
trality is certain to favor one side
or the other under existing condi-
tions, and it might we'll be asked
why, since our national sympathies
are overwhelmingly with the Euro
pean democracies and since it is to
our interest that they retain their
present influence in world affairs,
we should adhere to a policy which
can have no other result than to
give aid and comfort to their
enemies.

A correspondent expresses surprise at
being pecked on the head by q blue jay
until the blood came, after sallying forth
in its defense when the bird called
for help"
The truth is that the bird was not
calling for help, but merely to warn its
offspring and at the same time to scare
away the enemy.
The appearance OF mankind on the
scene, although with the best inten-
tions, merely seemed to 1t to add to its

BIRDS will not hurry into the garden to

Their calls Of alarm are we'll known
to all their friends.
All species take up the cry, raising a
veritable clamor In the yard, as q prowler
OF any type offers danger, especially to

Often this outcry, together with the
close hying of the older birds. does
exactly what it is intended to dot

Friends Of birds sometimes are most
helpful. BY adding to the alarm of the
prowler they make sure that it runs
away before harm is done
They must not expect to be thanked by
a bird committee, however, and they
really should be on the lookout not to
be pecked.
The birds are not to blame.
They are frightened, trying to solve an
age-old crisis in the only way they know.
At best they often are unable to prevent
a tragedy. But they try, in their own
way, the way which has come down to
them through the centuries.
Then, while they are crying and flap
ping their wings, thrusting their little
selves into the lions jaws, as it were,

Tax Cooperation

Acting Secretary of Treasury Hanes
made very telling point in his Ma
tional Radio Forum address last
night when he reminded his listeners
that the overhauling and perfecting
of the Governments revenue system
is a problem containing balanced
division of responsibility for all
parties.
In other words, the taxpaying
group, in this instance business,
should not be concerned solely with
ways and means of reducing their
contribution to the support Of gov
ernment. Nor should those who draft
the tax laws shape them primarily
as instruments of regulation or of
imposing an undue portion of govern
ment costs upon single group. For
the good of all, compromise and con-
cession," the words of Mr.. Hanes, are
essential in any program of revision.
In view of the part which the Act
ing Secretary played in persuading
the administration leadership and
Congress to effect extensive modifica-
tions of business hampering tax
statutes at the last legislative ses-
sion it may be assumed confidently
that his recent appeal for the active
assistance of leaders in all branches
OF our national economy was thor
oughly genuine call for cooperation
Of constructive nature. Only from
such cooperation can come intelli-
gent and fair compromise and con-
cesSion."
It was gratifying, therefore, to
learn from Mr.. Hanes last night that
there has been widespread response
to this appeal and that the sum of it
will be laid before the Ways and
Means Subcommittee this fall for
further positive action by the next
session Of Congress. Both the COM
mittee and Congress itself should &C.
cept this measure of guidance as
trustworthy advice and direct its
eventual action along the same sound

and like it.

other. Well, here is a cause that is

Resents Regulation
OF Pedestrians.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Under the heading Pedestrian Rush
Hour Traffic Feat Leaves Judge Cold"
was an item in your paper recently tell
ing of the experience of an agile pedes-
trian who was arrested for violation of
the pedestrian traffic regulation by cut
ting through two lanes of moving trafic
on Pennsylvania avenue to catch bus.
In court the defendant declared traffic
had no fears for him. He had been
dodging automobiles all his life, and his
nimble feet had been developed by the
Army in bayonet practice and fencing
lessons.
In their efforts to speed up vehicular
traffic under the plausible excuse OF
pedestrian safety, the city fathers. ac-
customed to riding to and from their
homes and ofices in chauf1eured limou-
sines, overlooked the inconvenience the
pedestrian regulation would cause people
who use street cars and buses.
1t is undoubtedly foolhardy for pedes-
trians to kick-to buck a procession
of vehicular traffic, but there is no
sensible reason why pedestrians should
be prohibited from catching street cars
or buses when there are no approach
ing automobiles, or even when there
is sufficient gap in the trafhc now to
permit safe access to q street car loading
platform, notwithstanding the light may
be against the pedestrian.
The average person may not have had
four years bayonet practice in the Army
and could not be considered an "artful
dodger" in the Dickensian sense, but he
has had experience aplenty steering him.
