abandoned his policy toward Poland
it is fair assumption that Count
Ciano took to Salzburg the hope of
tempering Hitler's attitude on the
Danzig issue. Although Italy and
Germany are bound by a military
alliance and Rome has given no sign
that 1t would finch from it's obliga-
tions, Count Ciano has some good
arguments to dissuade Germany
from pressing the Danzig issue too
far. The Free City is remote from
1taly's interests, Rome is on friendly
terms with Warsaw, the Italian peo-
pie are reported to be cool toward
Germany in spite of the alliance, and
it might not be possible to fill them
with enthusiasm for a war over
exclusively German claims.
The Salzburg conferees have also
had before them the results of Rib
bentrop's earlier discussions with the
Hungarian foreign minister, Count
Stephen Csaky, and the Yugoslav
rejection Of the German Italian de-
mands for wartime use of her terri
tory, supplies and strategic facilities.
Ribbentrop and Ciano see Hitler
today. They will be able to give him
balance sheet of the axis assets
and liabilities. On that may hinge
Hitler's action or inaction in the
next few weeks.

Anti-Americunism in China

Outbreak of anti-American agita-
tion in several parts of North China
as an extension of the japanese
Army's anti-British campaign during
the past two months is clear indica-
ton what the fate of Americans in
China is likely to be under Japans
new order in Asia"
Americans have suffered heavily in
their persons and properties during
the two years of the Chinese war,
but generally this damage was the
result of military operations which
affected all foreign interests without
regard for nationality. But since
the United States abrogated it's COM
mercial treaty with Japan anti
American demonstrations have oc-
Cured in Kaifeng, Hwohsien and
other inland Chinese towns, doubt
less the result of japanese propa-
ganda.
In recent months Japan has slowed
down considerably the tempo Of
military operations in order to con-
solidate its territorial gains and COM
mence the expulsion of foreign in
tereStS from conquered areas. Great
Britain, with the largest stake of any
country in China, has borne the
brunt of that attack
At the same time the Japanese
government, by refraining scrupu-
lously from offensive action against
the position of the United States
itself, has sought to drive a wedge
between the two potential wartime
allies. There is no reason to believe
that the japanese government has
altered this divisive strategy.
Anti-American manifestations are
the work not of an official Japanese
policy, but of one group of extremist
army leaders. They want foreign
interests expelled from China now,
by violence if necessary.
The Japanese government is COM
mltted, of course, to new order in
Asia" in which there would be no
room for direct American, British,
French, German, Italian or any
other foreign interest. American in
terests ultimately must 90 if the
new order" is created, but the Toxic
government, realizing that the
United States supplies the major
portion of number of war ma
terials imported from abroad, hopes
that this can be accomplished with
out the necessity for a specific offen-
sive against Americans, strategy
which would only rouse the animos-
tiles of the American people.
These army extremists are only
putting new obstacles in their gov
ernment's path by driving home to
all Americans the real meaning to
them of Japan's war against China.

Through the conscientious and un-
firing service of the single judge who
serves the circuit, residents of North
ern Virginia have become accustomed
to prompt and equitable adjudication
of cases. From layman's viewpoint
it seems logical to assume that COM
munity of more than $4,000 people is
entitled to more than one circuit
court judge. From the standpoint of
both the judge and the public too
much work should not be placed on
one man in such an important post.
The judge and the bar associations
OF the counties involved are best
qualified to determine when the VOL
ume of work becomes great enough
to warrant an additional jurist. They
should watch the growth of Northern

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Trace1pell.

Now here's another thing In the gar
den I like a great deal, the hardy old
althea, sometimes called the Rose of
Sharon.
In recent years this shrub has been
spoken of with certain degree of con-
descension, mostly, as If it were not quite
rare enough or unusual enough to merit
consideration.
1t ought to be thankful 1t is noticed
such has been the general attitude to-
ward 1t.
An honest shrub, but so fearfully pop
ular, you know.
All the time the althea has gone ahead,
sending out its leaves in season, followed
by its pure cup-shaped flowers, beloved
of boys and bumblebees
Any one, boy or not, ought to fancy
this blossom, in its white, or cerise, or
lavender.
Here is regular flower, perfectly
matched to the thick growth of fine green
leaves, and to the sturdy branches, and
to the towering height.
"You can't kill it with an AK" said the
old man, transplanting an althea
This is good quality in any living
thing, and in view of the present-day
insect situation, particularly good trait
IN the growing things in the yard
There seem to be 10 insects and at
least S blights for everything grown in
the ornamental line.
Vegetables, too, have their wits and
SO on, in such variety that the life of
the grower is just one spraying after the
other
Iough-that is what living things must
be today, tough to stand the knocks and
arrows of perfectly outrageous fortune,
hardy to resist blights of mind and body,
tough all the way through.

Fortunately, in the althea the home
garden has just such plant.
once he can get out of his head the
idea that somehow this bush is too
common both for words and planting,
the gardener finds he has a mighty good
bit of material at hand.
If he wants to hide something or other
he plants altheas and permits them to
grow.
In few years he has perfect hedge

This hedge will bloom, if not sheared

A good feature of this shrub is that it
will not Winter-kill.
Prlvet almost dies out, in a really cold
winter, but the althea loses not branch.
1t should be made plain that althea
Is member of the hibiscus family, and
not relative of the hollyhocks. The
latter hold first place in books written
by lady gardeners, who mostly prefer to
overlook the althea shrub. Our thesis
is that they shouldn't, that here is
bush as good as any, and a great deal
better than some that are approved"
One fine feature of our althea bush is
that it is practically disease-free.
Few insects attack it, and few rusts
try to settle down on it.
Ii diseases or fungi try it, they may
succeed in killing branch, but what
OF 1t? The rest of the bush is as tough
as young pin oak and goes right ahead
with its program of leaves and flowers.
So the gardener has no worries at all
contemplating his altheas at any season
of the year. Now this is surely some
thing very much worthwhile. in any
modern garden. Too many insects, too
many blights, too many rusts too many
"black spots" too many everything have
conspired to make even the smallest gar

Between the grumble- garden, in which
one member of family usually grumbles
at everything some other member does
or wants to do, and the worry-garden, in
which all the occupants are tremendously
alive to everything which goes wrong in
even the littlest way, the modern small
nome plot is in dangerous way of be-
coming nothing but a liability.
Perhaps the old slang phrase, Il should

on every garden gate, to be at one and
the same time both an honest statement

his friends to stop worrying.

garden subject they can overlook, sure
all the time that it is going to be all

Hatch Act RULINGS

Attorney General Murphy's first
official pronouncement on the Hatch
Act lays emphasis on the intention
of the Department of Justice to lean
backward" in interpreting the legiS
lation in accordance with the design
of the sponsors where clarification
of obscure points is called for.
AS the law officer of the Govern
ment, opinions Of the Attorney Cen
eral will be the determining factor
when problems inevitably arise in
connection with the sweeping ban
on political activity of Federal en-
ployes, and that his policy will be
to resolve doubts in favor of the
statute is no less than was expected
of Mr.. Murphy, and no more than
Is called for under the circumstances.
Attention has been drawn to
seeming paradox by the Attorney
Generals initial ruling, in which he
agrees with President Roosevelt'S
statement that the act does not
impose the same restriction on public
expression by non-civil service en-
ployes as is laid on civil service
employees by the rules Of the Civil
Service Commission. In the case of
the latter, political opinions may be
voiced only privately. The Hatch
Act, as Mr. Murphy explains, does
not have this limitation.
While Mr. Murphy has been sub
1ected to some criticism on this
particular point, his opinion is ap-
parently in line with the intent of
Senator Hatch and Representative
Dempsey, the New Mexico Democrats
who sponsored the legislation. Al
though the language of the civil
service regulation was incorporated
in the first draft of the Hatch bill,
the bills sponsors decided later that
it went too far, and dropped it.
This however, does not disturb the
restriction so far as concerns civil
service employees.
In this connection, Senator Hatch
inserted in the Congressional Record
when the legislation was under dis
cussion, a letter from President
Harry B. Mitchell of the Civil Service
Commission as embodying the Sena-
tors own views on the application
of the act. On the issue of freedom
of expression, Mr. Mitchell wrote:
The civil service rules conflne
classified employees to private ex-
preston of opinion, whereas the
word privately has been omitted
from (the Act. 1t is believed,
however, that even under (the
Act) an expression Of opinion (by
non-civil service Worker) which so
far exceeds the limits of private
expression Of opinion and assumes
the aspect of campaign speech or
a canvass for votes, would be in vio-
lation of the general prohibition
against taking an active part in
political management or in political
campaigns"
But, as public expression must be
independent of any organized polit-
ical endeavor, the exercise of this
privilege by non-civil service en-
ployes is hardly calculated to assume
noticeable proportions.

Reckoning at SuIzburo

Meetings between axis statesmen
are usually weighted with grave i'm
plications, but the present confer
ences between the German and
Italian foreign ministers at Salzburg
are unusually significant because of
the atmosphere of growing tension
in which they are held and the i'm
minence of Chancellor Hitler's deci-
sion whether to march now and, if
SO, in which direction.
At Salzburg the whole range of axis
policy is being surveyed. Ger
many's attitude has been made
crystal clear by her spokesmen and
her press. She demands return of
Danzig to German sovereignty and
"Lebensraum" - living room - ade-
quate for Germany's increasing mil
lions. There has been no change
in that program.
But before Hitler can intelligently
gauge the advisability of risking war
for that program he must know
for, in the last analysis, the decision
is his-Italy's intentions and Musso-
lini's willingness to assist the attain
ment OF strictly German detectives,
by war if necessary. German Foreign
Minister Won Ribbentrop has now
received from his Italian colleague
statement of Italy's position.
There is ample reason to believe,
not only from recent reports that
Clano was to urge moderation at
Salzburg, but from the record of the
past several months, that Italy's
support of German adventure
against Poland would not be un-
qualified.
II Duce, it will be recalled, strove
to avert war last September and his
hand was deep in the Munich ap-
peasement. Since March, when Ger
many's pressure was turned against
Poland, he has sought to promote
pacific settlement OF Polish German
issues.

Virginia Courts

One of the problems presented by
the growth of population in Northern
Virginia is the necessity of deter
mining when the pressure of legal
business in the area makes it deSir-
able to increase the number of judges
in the Circuit Court. Already a
sentiment is reported among Arling-
ton County lawyers in favor of
legislation to create a new court in
the district
There is ample precedent for such
action in both Virginia and Mary
land. Additional judges have been
provided in the suburban counties
around Baltimore A new judge was
added this year in the circuit which
serves Frederick and Montgomery
Counties in Maryland and at the next
Maryland election the voters un-
doubtedly will approve a constitu-
tional amendment authorizing an
other judge in the Southern Mary
land circuit.
The Virginia General Assembly
also has in the past established spe-
cial courts for jurisdictions in cir
cults whose judges are called upon to
hear an unusually large number of
cases. One is the Hastings Court at
Richmond and another, in the North
ern Virginia circuit, the Corporation
Court of Alexandria.
1t is this type of court, which has
concurrent jurisdiction with the Cir
cult Court operating in those cities,
that now is being proposed in the
circuit which embraces Arlington,
Fairfax and Prince William counties
and the city of Alexandria. The pro-
posal has been advanced after a sug-
gestion that the circuit be redis-
