Washington

The instinct of successive genera
tions has Endorsed the judgment of
Lord Brougham that lit will be the
duty of the historian and the sage,
in all ages, to omit no occasion of
commemorating this illustrious man;
and until time shall be no more will
test of the progress which our race
has made in wisdom and virtue be
derived from the veneration paid to
the immortal name of Washington I"
More than century has elapsed
since those words were written, yet
they are more meaningful now than
when they were penned. The Father
Of His Country looms larger with the
years. Time and distance serve but
to increase the debt which humanity
everywhere owes to his example. He
still is first in the hearts of his
fellow citizens" and deservedly Is
honored by the peoples Of other
lands the world around.
Nor is the reason difficult to dis
cover. The explanation of Washing
ton may be found in his character.
Lord John Russell, a second English
witness, was we'll within the range
OF truth when he testified that "the
success of America" could be attribu-
ted to his conduct. The dignity
OF his mind" in the estimate of
Charles James Fox, was a national,
perhaps a universal, endowment.
Lafayette praised his maturity of
spirit, temperament and personality.
Chateaubriand declared that his
"look" had the power to warm and
refresh the life of stranger. Guizot,
noting that "he had faith in God
and in himself" insisted that he was
"unacquainted with aught of inward
agitation, untormented by the
promptings of splendid ambition"
Kossuth, addressing the United
States, proclaimed: "Your freedom,
your independence your pros
perity and your prodigious growth
are a monument to him.
And these tributes are under
statements rather than exaggera-
tions. Washington was the author
of American freedom, the achitect
of American liberty. Civilization has
been advanced in every quarter of
the globe in which he has been
initiated. He was more than master
OF the art of war and the science of
government. Casual examination of
his biography will suffice to convince
even the professional skeptic that
everything that he touched was
electrified by his genius.
But Washington cannot be under
stood without taking into account
"his patience under provocation, his
calmness in danger, and lofty cour-
age when all others despaired, his
prudent delays when delay was best,
and his quick and resistless blows
when action was possible, his mag
nanimity to defamers and generosity
to his foes" 1t is these qualities,
"all combined" which make him
"the foremost figure of history"
On the two hundred and seventh
anniversary of his birth his leader
ship is needed as never before
since his death. The earth is in
tumult. For direction back to sanity
1t wants the guidance Of Washing
tons integrity.

associations and organizations at
tended the forum and were appar-
emily unanimous In their agreement
that the welfare, safety and future
progress of the United States in its
relationships abroad depend upon
proper development of American
aviation, military and civil.
Regarded as one of the most i'm
portant aeronautical conferences yet
held, the forum has left behind 1t a
body of opinion concerning every
phase of aeronautics which should be
Of considerable significance in con-
nection with legislative and admin
istrative activities of the Federal
Government.
1t is difficult to single out any one
of the scores of addresses by national
leaders before the forum; virtually
all of them were OF vital Importance
from the pledge of Major General
Henry H. Arnold, chief OF the Army
Air Corps, that the air defense pro-
gram will be carried out ito the last
detail and on time" when Congress
provides the funds, to the promise OF
the Civil Aeronautics Authority that
it will meet to the best of its ability
the menace Of European air trans
port invasion of Latin America, with
its attendant military and CONNER
cial threats.
The forum has been of outstanding
value If for no other reason than that
it has served to crystalline public
opinion and to serve as a definite
notice to Congress that the American
people are alive to the need of main
tanning leadership in a science which
was born in this country; science
which is today revising the entire
world concept of national power, and
a science in which, lamentably, we
have been losing ground in the face
OF organized, strenuous national pro-
grams OF research and expansion on
the part of aggressive nations.

Ten Billions for Defense

If there were ever any doubt of the
British peoples resolve bravely to
face the music in post-Munich Eu-
rope, 1t is removed by the Spartan
spirit in which Parliament is prepar-
ing to finance the vast cost of British
rearmament necessitated by the
totalitarian threat to the democra-
cies. Last night the House of Com
mons by a vote of 80 to 127 author
lied a record breaking peace-time
arms budget. Yesterday the new
35,000-ton battleship King George v
was launched on the Tyne. Coinci-
dent with that event it was announced
that John Bulls rearmament effort
for the coming financial year will
reach the staggering figure of
f580,O00,O00 The King George v is
the first Of a group of nine giant
capital ships already building or
authorized at d cost of almost
10000, 900 each, representing roundly
f10O.000,000 in that single form of
naval expansion alone.
When originally projected almost a
full year before Munich, the Cham
berlain government planned an
emergency rearmament expenditure
Of only fl l,50O,O00,O0O to be spread
over f1ve-year period. BY the time
the now revamped military, naval
and air program is completed in
1912, 1t may represent gigantic out
lay Of f2,O0O,000,0OO or more-or, in
our money, some s10,00o,00O,OOo.
Even this fabulous total would not
include the ordinary annual upkeep
charges OF the fighting services.
Ruinously costly as this prospect
admittedly is, the British are keenly
conscious that 1t is a burden which
must be shouldered unless they are
ready to risk the intolerable humilia-
tion Of another Munich, such as they
suffered last year as the price of
unpreparedness. Incredible as it
may seem, Sir John Simon, Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, assures Parlia-
ment that the funds can be found
without increase of taxation Such
costs as are required beyond revenue
In sight from present sources will be
financed by borrowing. Borrowing
authority up to f800,O00,00O is now
granted. 1T is deplorable, grievous
and horrible" said Sir John in the
House Of Commons on Monday, that
so large a part Of the resources OF
the world should be devoted to arma-
ment, when otherwise they might be
available to promote and sustain
peaceful progress" But the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer did not shrink
from admitting that until a general
limitation of armaments can be ef-
fectively secured, Britain and other
peace-craving nations must continue
to carry the load cheerfully and as
best they can
The grim conditions imposed upon
the other branch of the English
speaking race are not unlike those
with which Americans are graphing.
The fortitude and determination
with which our cousins are facing
realities are an inspiration and
example that will not be lost upon
us, who are so much abler to meet
them.

Free Cheap Speech

If Voltaire really was serious about
his willingness to fight for somebody
else's right to talk, he should have
sent his spirit to visit New York City
on Monday night. For with magnifi-
cence typical of that lusty metropolis,
they staged one of the finest free
dom Of speech" brawls that has been
put on in many day.
Under the benevolent protection of
some fifteen hundred of New York's
finest, Americas gift to Adolf Hitler
Cor vice versa) goose-stepped around
Madison Square Garden, exercised
their delicious humor and love of
freedom by publicly insulting the
President CT the United States, men,
bers OF his cabinet and any number
Of other public figures, and distin-
guished themselves generally by their
dagrant bad taste.
Outside, comparable number Of
Nssenters displayed a belligerent
eagerness to fight for "free speech"
the only weakness to their position
being that they wanted to talk in
the same place at the same time and
In louder voice than the assembled
Nazis-a development which the
patient policemen had been spe-
cifically instructed to prevent.
When it was all over only two
things had been proven; one, that
Haywood Broun doesn't really dis
like Dorothy Thompson because he
saved her from being tossed out of
the Garden and, two, that Americans
who are satisfied with their homeland
and approve OF their present form Of

Aviation Forum

A general appreciation of the
necessity for building up American
air defenses, not only to guarantee
territorial security in a world ruled
by jungle law, but to give the United
States a weighty voice in whatever
peace councils opportunity may
afford, was evident throughout the
sessions OF the important National
Aviation Forum here.

Looking Ahead.

Looking Ahead.
All aboard once more for May Dayl
Now that winters nearly past.
There's glimpse ahead of play day
And of summer blooms at last.
We've had both floods and showing
And some ugly grades to climb,
But the old world keeps a-going;
1t is still on schedule time.
We are fastening toward season
When the human race will smile,
And the light of honest reason
Will dispel the clouds of guile.
Though the centuries keep showing
Shadows dark of want and crime,
This old world keeps bravely going
Right ahead on schedule time.

Replies to Letter by
r. B. Swope.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The definition Of an explosion, given
by r. B. Swope in his letter published in
your paper last Saturday, is the most
lucid one Of technical subject that I
have seen given-by a technician! Mr..
Swope is to be congratulated on this
definition in particular and his whole
letter in general.
His brief but clear article on the prop
critics of liquid oxygen was very inter-
esting to me- inasmuch as I occasionally
use this product and feel treasured by
his explanation.
do feel, however, that your news
paper, In common with other papers,
should be defended against the less than
gentle slam given them by Mr.. Swope In
the last paragraph Of his letter. When
you consider the millions of words print
ed daily on every conceivable subject,
the extremely small percentage Of error
: that occurs would indicate extreme care
In editing and research.

Article by Bratter on
Gold Approved.

To the Editor Of The Star:
May I congratulate The Star on the
thorough realism of Mr.. Herbert Brat
ters article on gold published today
Sunday?
There's fly in the ointment, though.
If readers will trouble to read the recent
annual report of the Federal Reserve
Board they will discover that the reason
why Il quote Mr.. Bratter) "the powers
Of the Federal Reserve System need not
be in any way impaired" is that there
are none to impair!
In the existing situation, as explicitly
described in the boards report, were
need for controls to arise, "the Reserve
System would" to quote the report, "be
unable to discharge the responsibility
placed upon it by Congress or to perform
the service that the country rightly ex-
poets from it," ALDEN A. POTTER.

Eternal Hope, angel of life apart,
That still survives when all else fades
and dies
The alchemy of sorrow laden skies,
The living fountain of the human heart
That whispers solace when the teardrops
start;
The lens OF faith through which our
eager eyes
Behold again the joys Of Paradise.
Within the heart where desperation's
dart
Has left the scar of many q ghastly
wound,
There Hope enthroned, like Bethlehem's
guiding star,
Leads onward, upward to a bright
beyond.
Propitious Hope, to time nor season
bound,
LIES beacon light bright beaming from
afar,
That DER the guarded gates Of Eden
dawned.
