koo-koo KIunsmen

Dies Committee members have un-
covered an attempt to buy the Ku
Klux Klan for seventy-f1ve thousand
dollars. The Wizard, however, de-
clined to sell, and no wonder, as the
K. K. K. roster constitutes sucker
list beyond price. 1t has been built
up by some brain power on the part
of the organizers, but mostly by a
total lack of it on the part of the
members or Krackpots. These latter
have to be born, not made. Unless
endowed by heredity with kink in
his mind, no American can be per-
suaded that the mightiest Nation in
the world is in danger of Krashing
under a Konspiracy of Krazy Kom-
munists or Krafty Kapitalists. How
ever, unless the man with the kink
is Klad in a Knightshirt he has no
publicity value, and unless Klom-
bined, no Kash value; hence the in
vention of the Klan.
Experience has shown that there
is an easy "out" for the man gifted
with a glib tongue and an aversion to
work. He can 60 to the nearest
Wizard, get job as a Kleagle. and
Keep out as Kommission part of the
dues of each Krackpot Kaught. In
this way he can inhabit Klavern
and live the life of Kelly, Konsuming
Kognac and riding around in Klassy
Kars. And If he is a really Klever
Kleagle, he has swell chance of
pulling a fiery double Kross on the
Wizard, particularly at those periodic
intervals when the Wiz is in the
Kalaboose and is unable to check up
on the Kale from the Klink.

False Neutrality

Elsewhere on this page there ap-
pears a letter from Representative
Thorkelson, Republican, of Montana
commenting on an editorial pub
lished in The Star on August 20, and
advancing the contention that con-
clusions in the editorial were mot
predicated upon neutrality but in
stead upon partiality."
With respect to war between
major European powers, The Star
has consistently advocated the repeal
of the existing embargo provisions
of the neutrality law which, upon
being invoked, would forbid the sale
or shipment of all arms, ammunition
and implements of war to any bel
ligerent, and the substitution of a
"cash-and-carry" provision which
would permit belligerents to buy war
supplies in this country upon condi-
ton that they pay cash for them
Evening star., 1939-09-05

and transport them in their own
ships.
This position has been taken In
the belief that the existing embargo
provision, insofar as a war such as
the present conflict is concerned, can
only have the effect Of indirectly aid
ing a well-prepared Germany while
operating to the disadvantage of the
British and the French. It was
stated In the August 20 editorial
and apparently Mr.. Thorkelson
agrees-that any legislative attempt
at neutrality is certain to favor one
side or the other, and, if that be true,
The Star believes this country should
adopt legislation which is best .calcu-
lated to promote rather than to
prejudice its own purely selfish in
terestS.
The "cash-and-carry" plan should
have been adopted before war
started, but even now that the con-
flict is under way its enactment
would not, 1t is believed, constitute
the hostile act" envisioned by Mr..
Thorkelson. 1t is true that the
British and the French, by virtue
of their naval supremacy, would be
able to buy in our markets while
being able to prevent the Germans
from doing so. But that Is a cir
cumstance over which we have no
control, and 1t may well be asked
whether the closing of our markets
by application of the embargo, thus
depriving Britain and France of one
advantage to be derived from their
naval strength, would not be fully as
hostile to them as the alternative
course would be to Germany.
A most casual review of the record
of Nazi Germany should serve to
convince any impartial observer that
its PHILOSOPHERS and policies are in
imical to every cherished American
institution. It is impossible now to
foresee the outcome of this war, but
1t is only reasonable to assume that
a decisive defeat for France and
Britain would have, in both the i'm
mediate and distant future, very
serious adverse consequences for this
nation. For these reasons, even
though it may indirectly involve
partiality as between the belligerents,
The Star believes that this country,
looking solely to the protection of its
own vital interests, should not ad-
here to any legislative policy which
would forbid Great Britain and
France to buy sorely needed war
supplies in the United States.
Evening star., 1939-09-05
A United Germany?

LET England understand" said
Chancellor Hitler in a radio address
to the German people just before
his departure for the front, that to-
day ninety million human beings are
united in the German Reich" In a
message to his armies the same day
(Sunday) he also stressed the unity"
of the folks back home. Der Fuehrer
might have put it this way: my
people will be unified-or else" That
he meant just that, although he
phrased it a bit more automatically
is the natural inference one draws
from a concluding paragraph of the
text of Hitler's broadcast on German
solidarity. Here it is: "As long as the
German people through their history
were united, they were never con-
quered. Only the disunity of 1918
led to the collapse. Whoever sins
against our unanimity and unity
must expect nothing else than that
he will be annihilated as an enemy
of the nation" Herr Hitler's subjects
will be unanimously behind the gov
ernment for the same reason that
nearly everybody votes "ja" in one
of his elections or plebiscites. A
people with a gun at its back can
show remarkable cooperation in
heiling Hitler.
Hitler's warning against disaffec-
ton was backed up by a special de-
cree calling for imposition of the
death penalty for insurgency, for
evasion of military service or for at
tempting to weaken the army or the
people in their defense determina-
ton" An earlier edict made it a
capital offense to spread false re-
ports and forbade listening to foreign
radio broadcasts Most of these are
customary wartime measures, of
course. Similar precautions doubt
less have been taken in England and
France.
But down in his heart the Fuehrer
must know that there are grave mis-
givings, bewilderment, and sorrow in
the hearts of many good people who
raise their hands in mechanical sa-
lutte to his national socialism. Ger
tainly the allies are aware of this
and are taking advantage of the
situation by dropping peace pam
phlets" from bombing planes sent
over German soil. Peace raids" Of
that sort played an important part in
bringing about discomfort in Ger
many and surrender of German
forces in the World War. Surely
Chancellor Hitler does not seriously
believe that all of his new-found
subjects in Czecho-Slovakia, Austria
and other conquered territory are in
sympathy with his mad sway. Had
he thought so, there would have
been no occasion to inject into his
harmony harangue of Sunday so dis
cordant a note as his threat to IAN
nihilate" those who differ with his
pOlicieS

Approves Objections to
Memorial Bridge Plan.
10 the Editor of The Star:

10 tne EoltOT OF 1ne otar
The letter of James C. Cole relative to
the circle on the Virginia side of the
Memorial Bridge is certainly worthy of
consideration. When I saw the picture
in The Star it made me feel much as
he does.
There is already an arch under the
west end of Memorial Bridge through
which highway could be passed for
north bound traffic up the river. There
are also three arches under the smaller
bridge over the Greek to the west of
the north and south highways. Through
one or two of these south bound traffic
could underpass the through traffic to
the Arlington Cemetery. If the second
arch is needed the Greek could be put
in a culvert. Also turn could be made
from this road after passing under the
bridge to get into the proper lane for
passing over Memorial Bridge. This
would solve much of the traffic problem,
as the major flow is into Washington
in the morning, and out of it at night
BY this means no bridges would have
to be constructed. The only thing which
would have to be constructed would be
a few short roads. This would do much
to speed traffic from Mount Vernon
Boulevard to Key Bridge and Great
Falls, when this highway is finally built.
On rare occasions like the flood in 1886
the existing roads could be used If nec-
essary.

Lubor's Role

In the days that are to come before
the world is again at peace probably
no minority of Americas population
will be called upon to play more
important role than that cast for
organized labor.
Skilled and unskilled, theirs will be
key places in the vital industries of
the Nations economy. Upon them
will be a responsibility in the cause
of peace at home.
In such circumstance it was par
ticularly fitting that Labor Day Of
1889 should have served as the oc-
casion for a bluntly worded appeal
from Government highest official
in the field, Secretary Perkins, that
the leaders of the c. I. o. and the
A. F. Of L. heed the real wishes Of
their rank and file and compose their
differences.
Few who are acquainted with the
circumstances of labor's civil war
would question the Secretary's dec
laration that the differences involved
"are by no means insurmountable
when there is a real will to reach an
agreement" That this will has been
absent thus far, at least to a point
where it would permit true compro-
mise of the disagreement, has been
obvious. Its absence is a stigma of
guilt which should rest heavily in
the hearts and consciences of those
who are truly responsible, and which
will not be removed by the platitudes
and accusations of one group or the
roarings of the other.
When they have set their own
house in order increased honor will
be due their common demands of
yesterday that American statesman
ship be devoted unrelentingly to
keeping American workers out Of
Europe's orgy Of blood. United, as
the true community of their inter-
ests dictates they should be, they
would indeed be a powerful force in
the cause of peace at home and
abroad

mands, without permitting their mind.
to interfere.
Just as cats fatten themselves, in the
fall, in preparation for the cold of win
ter, although they may live in a warn
house "a hours day, so the wildbirds see
to 1t, for their own good, that they never
lose touch with the primitive way o1
finding their own food as supplied in
lawns, shrubs, forest and fields.
%A
We believe that all birds, even those
which live in our yards, make periodic
trips to the meadows and woods, here
aboutS, just to keep In touch with things
Every close watcher of his garden
knows that there will be dull periods
at even the most patronized bird feeding
station.
He may have wondered why.
This Is the explanation The birds are
on surveying woods and fields, poking
around IN the weeds, getting a taste OF
nature in the raw.
Instinct tells them to do this, because
the bitter truth is that she, alone, ID
constant. Her wild creatures enjoy find
Ing food at feeder, but they do not
know how long 1t may last.
Something may come up, in the hu-
man sense, to prevent some one from
filling the box.
Natures woods and fields are always
full Of food.
So, no matter the weather or date,
autumn is here.
The birds have told us.
Day by day the flocking will continue,
Increasing until cold days really come.
Late in September really large flocks
Of robins will fly in some afternoon and
deploy across the grass.
This Is a real sight, but one which
many persons miss because they simply
do not realize what they are looking at.
This often happens, in all lines of sport,
but here it is very easily overlooked, for
there are always birds in the grass, but
never exactly in this way.
Wood thrushes, finest of birds, are in
the woods at this time. Their disap-
pearance has been so gradual that many
of their friends have not missed them.
Some time in late September the
thrushes will visit us again for a few
weeks before flying south.
They will be just as handsome kind
and intelligent as ever, but they will
not sing.
They will be even more friendly than
usual, which is saying a good deal.
So if you see one, in September or
early October, try getting as close to it
as possible. whistling its characteristic
song as best you can.
You will be surprised at how close you
can come.
Evening star., 1939-09-05

Autumn is here, ard If you Cont be-
lieve 1t, look In the back yard
The robins are beginning to flock to-
gether there for the trip South.
In the yard, any afternoon now, will
be half dozen to a dozen Of these big
birds.
In addition, there will be a score of
sparrows, both English and song SPAR
row, with a good spripkling Of grackles
and cardinals.
All Of these birds, ranged around a
yard in this peculiar manner, mean just
one thing, and that is autumn.
Time to SOW grass seed, but nature has
got ahead Of the small landowner.
Her grasses, even in the well-kept yard,
are busily scattering seeds.
That's the reason for the sparrows.
Robins, of course, are still after worms,
but the sparroWs, busy brown fellows,
are willing to leave even the best stocked
feeding station to get at the fresh grass
seed.
Can it be crab grass seed they are
after?
Most lawns have far too much of this
species. 1t would be good thing If the
sparrows could eat all the seed, but they
cannot; probably they knock down as
much as they eat, but at any rate they
are doing their best
Even the confirmed sparrow hater must
admit the pleasure of this sight, as the
birds scatter over the yard, making a
pretty picture in the green.
This peculiar scattering, by many
species at this time Of year, is unique.
They do not do it in exactly the same
way at any other season.
So that when the bird fancier sees
them, he may feel pretty sure that they
know that the supposed melancholy
time" is here, no matter what the cal
endar says
Instinct, it is called, but no matter the
word, it is fact, so well attested by this
time that there can be little doubt of it.
You have to be interested in bird life,
however, to see it, for to the persons who
are not 1t is really no sight at all. If
you were to call their attention to it, they
would reply, why, yes, some birds in the
grass, what is unusual about that?"
The very fact of their being there, in
just that way, spread out like deploy-
ing party, is what is unusual.
They are answering natures call to
rustic up their own food for themselves,
not eat out of hand, as it were.
This is why no amount of feeding can
spoil" them, in the human sense. They
are not men and women, but birds, and
hence respond at all times to natures de-
