WHAT AMERICAN EDITORS
SAID OF HITLER SPEECH
Nem York Herald Tribune:

ITO wade through that turgid mass
of bad manners, bad history, bad argu-
ment. megalomaniac distortions, debat-

is to experience an intense irritation.
THE answer might have been of Il
very different character Not few of
the points against the president have a
certain validity Marshalled in a shorter,
simpler and more dignified way they
could have been made with effect, for
the presidents 5 message was, obviously,

Alcohol in Traffic

The first two days sessions of the
National Safety Congress in Atlantic
City, occupied principally with the
problem of pedestrians in relation to
traffic deaths, have confirmed with
statistics on a national basis con-
clusions which had been drawn pre-
viously from figures on traffic deaths
In Washington.
These cover such facts as that four
out of five killed in traffic are
pedestrians, that two out of three of
these pedestrians were violating one
or more rules of safety, that one out
of seven was intoxicated, and that
one of each ten motorists killed was
In the same condition.
The general problem Of protecting
pedestrians is one Of the most serious
to confront safety experts, but the
problem of intoxicated drivers and
pedestrians is the most difficult of
solution. Regulations which affect
both motorists and walkers csn be
put into effect as they have been in
Washington, Los Angeles, Kansas
City and scores of other cities.
Educational campaigns, such as the
Capitals, can be organized to bring
the doctrine of cooperative safety
home to each citizen. But alcohol lies
outside the law insofar as it makes
regulations and educational cam
paigns useless, for the time being, to

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. TraceUeH.

Here is the latest bird story, vouched
for by . man Of integrity. truth and in
telligence.
At exactly 6:15 am. he was awaked
from sound slumber by . scratching
sound at the window.
A crow was perched on the sill, rapping
at the screen.
In one claw it held a short yellow
pencil, which it now and then tapped
against the sill.
BY low cawing sounds and gentle push
ings with its bill the bird made it quite
plain that it would like in.
1t finally flew away, but exactly 4 week
later, at precisely the same time, to the
minute, 1t showed up on the sill again.
1t still had its yellow pencil.
Now and again the pencil was pushed
around making clicking noise on the
sill.
Again the crow showed unmistakable
signs Of wanting to come in.
The householder Is expecting the big
friendly bird back again, on schedule,
with pencil attached. In that event,
the home owner will go to a balcony
and try to attract the birds attention,
with the hope that it will fly over with
its pencil.
Then he-householder-wil write a
brief note to the birds owner, requesting
him to keep his pet home in the early
morning.
There can be no doubt that this is a
pet crow.
Crows, ravens, magpies and others all
make excellent pets of the strict outdoor
variety. Caging them, although it has
been done, breaks their spirits. 1t is
against the law, too nowadays.
These larger birds, once tanned, do
not need fetters, but like to remain near
their friends, flying down at every op-
portunity.
Their thieving propensities mostly are
regarded as interesting 1t would be
difficult for even the most straight-laced
person to accuse crow of stealing.
There are many instances on record
OF these birds. especially the magpies,
collecting trinkets of all sorts, especially
jewelry.
The glitter Of jewelry evidently at
tracts the birds, which have unusually
sharp eyesight,
This does not explain why they like
to collect such things. There appears
to be none Of the urge of necessity as
motivates the crested flycatcher when it
picks up discarded snakeskin with
which to adorn its nest and thereby scare
away four-footed animals which are
afraid of reptiles.

Many people regard the crow as the
best known American bird.

Disagrees With Star on
Embargo Repeal.

To the Editor OF The Star:
thank you most cordially for the ex-
preston Of your views on war, neutrality
and the arms embargo
The Congressional Record reveals that
spoke and voted against the Roosevelt
Bloom fake neutrality bill in the last
session Of Congress. This bill is a war
promotion measure disguised in robes Of
neutrality. 1t would repeal the arms,
munitions and war implement embargo
OF our existing neutrality law and permit
our sword rattling New Deal administra-
ton to drag our country into another
European war.
Foreign governments which are now
engaged in war owe our Government
more than 13 billion dollars which was
handed to them during the last World
War. I shall continue to oppose Uncle
SANS financing. aiding or abetting wars
OF foreign nations and supplying them
with sinews of war under a "cash-and
carry" or any other system Since our
foreign debtor nations have the cash to
finance present and future wars they
should use it to repay the billions which
they carried from America during the
last World War. If they do not, we
should foreclose on their holdings in
America and collect as the New Deal is
collecting from distressed American
citizens who, through no fault Of their
own, are unable to meet their tax, home
loan, farm loan and other payments due
our Government.
I am opposed to giving any President
OF the United States authority to desig-
nate aggressor nations. declare war zones
or permit the sale of arms, munitions
implements of war and war supplies to
Delllgerent nations as this will inevitably
plunge America into foreign wars. am
particularly opposed to giving such au
thorlty to President Roosevelt. who il
an ex-international banker of wide ex-
peEence and member of whose i'm
mediate family is now married to a men,
Der OF the war munitions house of du
Pont. History reveals that international
bankers and munitions makers promote,
propagandize and profit by war while the
great rank and file Of the people fight,
suffer, die and pay.
I am opposed to foreign entanglements
and alliances, engaging in wars in other
lands, meddling in the affairs of foreign
nations and taking sides in their con-
troversies. I shall oppose sending our
boys to fight on foreign battle fields for
the benefit of international bankers.

The savage stone opposed on every hand
Until men sought more compliant land.
Now miracles from miracles unfold
To heap the pastures with unlimited gold.
Acres of sullen, unrequiting sod
Are split by shining shafts Of goldenrod.
The glacial rocks which span the
ancient place
Are banked with shining snow of princess
lace;
While sumac's flares are warmer in tho
sun
Than crimson covers bands of old have
spun.
The sunsets paint the hills with azure
sheen
Subtle as veil Of medieval queen,
And tangled fields by which no mouth
Is fed
Give to their lovers beautys poignant
bread. SOPHRoN1A FULLER.
