Capital Gossip
BY HENRY AvERJLL

Raleigh, July 17.-All of the 100
counties in North Carolina having
been put under the Farm Security
Administration tenant purchase pro-
gram, loans are available for home
purchases anywhere in the State.
Forty million dollars has been set
aside for this program in the nation.
Loans are made to worthy tenant
farmers who want to buy and stock
farms of their own, and they are
given forty years to repay. Admins
tration of the loan fund has been
simplified and may be handled thro-
ugh county agents offices.
If county officials in North Caro-
lima make any serious mistakes in
procedure this year, it will not be
the fault of the Institute of Govern
ment The Institute recently sent out
to all officials a complete calendar
showing just what days certain
boards are required to meet, when
tax sales may be held, etc. If there
had been such calendar at hand,
the town officials of Lucamma would
not have gotten into such a tangle
about holding the recent town cleo
ton on the wrong date Effect of
that wrong date was to void the cleo
ton and to continue the old officials
in office for another two years. The
Institute calendar not only shows
the dates and occasions when GER
tain public functions must be dis
charged, but cites the chapter in the
public laws governing the event.

Government charged with enforcing
constitutional law and with appre-
hending and prosecuting those who
violate it.
AS the Attorney General said in his
broadcast, there is urgent need for
such a protecting arm of government
in a world surcharged with totali-
tartan disregard of the fundamental
concepts of human liberty. The ges-
ture of guardianship already made
by the Department of Justice is sig
niflcant and timely, but more than
mere gesture is demanded by the
times. Constant vigilance by the
people, the press and others whose
liberties are at stake must be backed
up by vigorous action by State as we'll
as Federal authorities. And when
public officials fail in their duty or
assume dictatorial powers in contra
vention of civil rights, the people
have recourse to still another safe
guard of democracy, the ballot box.

Cites Rise of "Feudalism"
Under New Deal.

To the Editor of The Star:
Mr.. Eccles of course is right.
When the destructive processes of un-
wise government have proceeded to that
point where industry is restricted to
functioning in low gear, and is unable to
recuperate in the face of policies which
include heavy taxation and the diversion
of receipts into unproductive channels,
it is impossible to balance budget-or
indeed to construct one which is more
than fanciful.
may be planned" though it certainly
does not compare favorably with that
adopted by the Pharaoh on the advice
of Joseph. There is, of course, plan
ming and planning" 1t may be that
in the present instance the planners
have in mind the political advantage
which may be derived from policies
which lead the people away from afflu-
ence and inevitably into mendicancy.
If they succeed in maintaining by this
method a sufficient supply of beholden
voters upon the books of registration it
will of course be impossible to jettison
the crew which brought about the pres
ent condition of affairs.
Thus by paralyzing industry they are
able not only to deny productive en-
ployment to millions of persons-who
must accordingly be supported at public
expense to avoid worse calamity-but to
insure the dependence of such persons
upon the distributors of public" lar
CESS. The day of their carnival is not
over. Until it is we may expect to
continue to move from bad to worse.
They do, however, amusingly term their
system democracy" and denounce "feu-
dalism" while creating feudal order
of the most unwholesome type.

Benefit Concert

MiScha Elman, violinist who
needs no introduction, is to play a
concert at Constitution Hall tomor-
row evening in aid of the victims of
Nazi persecution. The recital is one
of series which will take the gifted
artist to more than a dozen different
cities and from which it is hoped
not less than a hundred thousand
dollars will be raised for distribution
through the American Committee for
Christian German Refugees, the
Committee for Catholic Refugees
from Germany and the American
Jewish Joint Distribution Committee.
Local sponsors include: Col. William
0. Tufts, William L. Bush and Mich
ael j.. Calnan, as -chairmen; the
Rev. DR.. Arson Phelps Stokes Seton
Darr, Joseph P. Tumulty, the Rev.

Washingtonians.
The program and the musician
assure an artistic success. But the
occasion is important for other
reasons, definitely humanitarian in
character. Hundreds, perhaps thou
sands of helpless men, women and
children will be benefited by the
money paid for tickets. If nobler

Inequality in Law

Those who contend that the Ma
tional Labor Relations Act should be
amended to give an employer the
right to petition the Labor Relations
Board for an election to determine
the appropriate collective bargaining
representatives of his employees will
find powerful support for their argu-
ments in the decision announced
Monday by the United States Court
of Appeals for the District in the
Zirkin Fur Shop case.
In that case the employer had
signed a contract with an A. F. of L.
union representing a majority of his
employees, but was harassed by pick
cts of c. I. o. union, to which two
of his workers belonged. The en-
+ ployer applied to the District Court
for an injunction, which was granted
on the theory that no labor dispute
existed after the signing of the con-
tract with the majority union. The
appellate court reversed that action,
asserting that the Labor Board and
not the courts had exclusive author
ity under the circumstances to de-
eide whether there was in fact
labor dispute
But, although refusing to approve
the issuance of the injunction, the
Court of Appeals, composed in the
majority of Roosevelt appointees, did
not close its eyes to the injustice in
fiicted on an employer who is willing
to bargain with his employees but who
may nevertheless see his business
ruined because he cannot and his
employees will not ask the Labor
Board to order an election to de-
termine the proper bargaining
agency.
Stating that the Labor Act does
not authorize the employer to seek
an election, the court said: The re-
suit is an inequality before the law
as between an employer and en-
ployes in this particular, namely,
that while the employer has sub
stantive right to carry on his busi-
ness, he lacks a legal remedy for
protecting the same against injury
through the struggle of competing
unions s ~"
1t should be remembered that the
prohibition against the seeking of
an election by an employer does not
appear in the act itself, but has it's
origin in an administrative ruling
adopted by the Labor Board, which
has not reversed its position in this
respect despite the growing belief
that the rule is grossly unfair.
The Senate Labor Committee will
begin hearings on proposed amend
ments to the Labor Act on April II,
and, while the change with respect
to seeking elections is by no means
the only revision of the statute that
is being strongly urged, it is one that
merits prompt and favorable con-
sideration.
The long-sought and earnestly de-
sired improvement in industrial re-
lations will not be fully realized untn
Congress eliminates the flaws that
experience has shown to exist in the
machinery set up by the Wagner Act.

Would Deny Air Rifles
And Toy Pistols to Boys.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is deplorable that a citizen of
civilized community should require police
protection against the ruthlessness of
children of civilized parents in order
that he may enjoy the pleasure, as a
nature lover, of feeding and harboring
birds and small animals which have
availed themselves of the care and pro-
lection of his home
An article appearing in The Star of
March % describes the problem which
confronts Dr. Paul Bartsch of Belmont
street, and made necessary his appeal
to the police that boys with air rifles
be apprehended and prevented from
shooting his pets and damaging his
property.
am sure we all agree that in the
education of children, courtesy and con-
sideration of others are important fac
tors. Is it not equally important that
they be taught consideration and kind
ness for Gods lower creation, the dumb
animals?
have talked with mothers who dis
approve of toy pistols and air rifles, with
which children often injure birds and
small animals, but they do not wish to
appear different from their neighbors,
and are afraid to deny these toys to
their boys lest they be subjected to the
unjust criticism of other boys who would
dub them "sissies.''
decent respect for the opinion and
approval of the public is inherent and
should be encouraged however, we
should have the courage to rear our
children according to our honest con-
victions different though our methods
may be from those of our neighbors.

Relates Incident in Life
OF Bishop Brent.

To tine Editor OF The Star:
The memorial services held in New
York and Washington in commemoration
of the tenth anniversary of the death of
Bishop Charles Henry Brent recall the
ance had with him during my service
of nearly five years as Assistant to the
Attorney General of the Philippines
and also little incident which was SO
characteristic of the broad sympathies
and deep understanding Of the man.
While Bishop of the Philippines he
was instrumental in the building of
very beautiful Episcopal cathedral in
Manila, which I attended often, and
listened with profit to his interesting
and scholarly dissertations on the things
of the spirit. Hardly any American IN
the Islands exercised so great and whole
some an influence among and upon the
natives as did the good bishop
1t will be remembered by many vet
Grams that he was chief chaplain in the
A. E. F. Thereafter he served as Bishop
of Western New York In all thes,
places his unusual combination of gen.
tleness and force won for him a host
of friends
His special interest and care in the
Philippines were the hill peoples like
the Bontoks, Ifuagos and Igorots, and
the Mahometans in the southernmost
islands, among whom he exerted a great
and beneficent influence.
The little personal incident to which
I refer arose out of the good bishops
interest in and care for the Igorots,
and particularly married couple among
them. There had developed a rift in
the marital relations of this couple
which is too often the case with SO
many married people among all races.
The causes of the differences which I
shall leave nameless, and which the
bishop was apparently unable to recon-
cile at that time, caused him to write
to Mr.. Carpenter, the executive secre-
tary of the Islands, for information about
local marriage and divorce laws. His
letter was referred to me. While I
could not under the law give any official
advice or opinion regarding the matter,
I furnished Mr.. Carpenter unoficially
very full and complete memorandum on
the subjects, which he sent to the
bishop, who in due course replied in a
beautiful and most appreciative letter,
stating that the memorandum was most
enlightening. and had been very helpful
in the solution of the problem for which
he was most grateful. This letter is
one of my priced possessions. I never
heard the sequel, but knowing the
bishop as I did, am sure that under
his wise, sympathetic and understanding
guidance the differences of the couple
were satisfactorily reconciled and ad-
justed, and that they lived happily ever
afterwards. With the passing of the
good bishop heaven gained saint and
the world lost a knightly gentleman.

Menace to Poland

The conditions which led to the
collapse of Czecho-Slovakia are
gradually enveloping Poland and
Danzig, giving the clue that Ger
many's next strike may be at re-
covery Of the Polish Corridor and the
free city, both of which are heavily
German.
Any hope that Adolf Hitler will
wait for expiration of the Polish
German treaty in 1914 before re-
claiming his Germanic brothers
would be serious delusion. BY
taking within the German Empire
Bohemia and Moravia-which we're
never part of Germany-Hitler has
far surpassed the goal he previously
set for himself, the restoration of
Germany as it existed before the war.
He has created the greatest Germany
history ever knew. Seizure of Danzig
and the Corridor now would be moth
ing more than filling a gap, which
could scarcely incur danger.
Southeastern Europe is we'll within
Hitler's grasp. He needs to do little
more in that direction until German
opportunities in Rumania have been
exhausted under the present setup
of virtual monopoly in certain
phases Of Rumanian economy.
Therefore, his attention can easily
be diverted to Poland without jeop-
ardizing his position in the south
east.
Poland finds herself dangerously
vulnerable. She knows Hitlers con-
tempt for treaty obligations. She
knows that the issues of Danzig and
the Corridor are not merely an i'm
perial dream of the Fuehrer, but a
matter of strong national sentiment
to Germans. She knows that Great
Britain and France will give her not
the slightest aid in case of German
aggression, and that she must fight
alone, if she fights at all.
Around Danzig and Gdynia Polish
troops are reported to be concen-
tratlng, and German troops on the
Corridor frontier. The Nazi press has
not yet gotten we'll into it's usual
campaign, but the radio already is
reporting the mistreatment and
beating Of Germans by Poles.
