Sees National Lunacy"
Leading to War.


To the Editor of The STAR
Bernard Shaw has been quoted as say
ing: THE more study the governments
OF this world the more I am persuaded
that the other planets have turned this
one into their lunatic asylum"
The Standard Dictionary defines lu-
macy as "Wanton and senseless conduct"
OF which our so-called Christian nations
are more or less guilty, If one is to draw
his conclusions from the late war
which was to have made the world safe
for democracy and made it unsafe for
everybody.
At this time when the earth is bloodily
boiling again and governments feverishly
preparing to resume warfare in its most
horrible and devastating form the ques-
tion presents itself: HAS national lunacy
abated since the termination of war
which was waged to end wars?" Not
that we can notice!
Human problems have never been
amicably adjusted through the utiliza-
tion of poison gas, sword or cannon, and
yet the carnage continues. Brotherhood
will never be promoted by releasing liquid
fires and hurting bombs into space. What
modern government recalls the COM
mand, given almost 1000 years ago: Love
thy neighbor as thyself7"

District Recreation

After ten years of conflicting theo-
ries and Jurisdictions, the recreation
agencies of the District are in some
measure consolidated by the transfer
of the District Playground Depart
ment to the Board of Education pro-
posed in the District appropriation
BILL However, whether this consoli-
dation represents the solution of the
entire recreation problem must re-
main to be seen. At any rate, after
decade Of discord under three
jurisdictions, the supervised recrea-
tion of the District, if the bill is
passed, will be administered by sim
gle agency, with the National Capital
Parks Office retaining control of the
parks and few recreation centers
for unsupervised recreation.
District citizens now look forward
to year-round program of super
vised recreation on a less costly basis.
Undoubtedly the program to be
offered will be based on the schools
philosophy that recreation is a part
of education rather than an escape
from education. The superintendent
of schools has estimated thirty five
thousand dollars can be saved admin
istratively.
The Board of Education now has
the opportunity to show the District
taxpayers what it can do for them
in providing adequate leisure time
programs.

CriticizeS Fiscal Policies
OF the Government.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The popular conception Of the Gov
eminent at Washington seems to be
that of a rich and indulgent Uncle Sam
who is ready to give money and special
privileges to all who want them pro-
vided the necessary influence for same
can be brought to bear. And this idea
is substantiated by, appropriations of
more than a billion dollars for farm
relief, an industry more independent
than any other, the vast appropriations
with which to send a multitude of young
men to college when they ought to be
at work and the special privileges pro-
vided to union labor through such leg
islation as the Wagner Labor Act.
AS a matter of fact Uncle Sam Is q
bankrupt. And under normal conditions
his functions are precisely those of the
Washington Clearing House, which dis
burses no more than it collects and
gives no member any advantage over
any other member In March, 1888, the
writer sent to President Roosevelt and
to every member Of his cabinet q copy

Demands Better Treatment
For District Unemployed.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial dealing with the resigna-
ton Of Miss Alice Hill and her aide,
May o. Hankins, from the Public As
sistance Division poses before the entire
city question of first magnitude, a
question which simply can no longer be
evaded.
For several years now the Public As
sistance Division has been wrestling with
the impossible task of providing for an
ever increasing number of unemployed
with utterly inadequate and constantly
decreasing appropriations. In response
to the cry of many civic minded groups
including the District Communist Party,
who exposed the barbarous treatment of
the unemployed in the District and its
effect in increasing crime and sickness,
Congress ordered Mr.. Burdette Lewis to
investigate the entire relief situation in
our city. However, when the Lewis in
vestigation established the fact that
there are $4,000 unemployed in the Dis
trict. 10000 of whom are totally un-
provided for, it now appears that Mr.
Ross Collins and the Subcommittee on
Appropriations decided to ignore the
recommendations. The District Sub
committee on Appropriations brazenly
continues to ignore such trifle as 10000
people who continue in a state of utter
destitution.
If fleet of enemy bombers should
swoop down upon our city and kill and
main thousands of our citizens, the en-
tire country and even our complacent
Congressman would be aroused as to the

Believes in Discipline
For Children,

To the Editor Of The Star:
Mr.. w. E. Aliens comments on Judge
Curran and the recent child-disciplining
cases were apropos and we'll expressed.
I also should like to request that the
learned judge favor us with his opinions
concerning the proper method of melting
out adequate punishment to refractory
children where corporal punishment is
not to be resorted to under any circum-
stances.
In my opinion, welltimed applica-
ton of the hairbrush does no harm
to any child. On the contrary, it in
variably does world of good. However,
it is certainly true that an intoxicated
person has no business whatsoever to
play the disciplinarian and Judge Cur
ran was, of course, right in sharply
reprimanding the parents in the cases
over which he presided, but he should
have reprimanded them for having been
drunk and not for having attempted to
punish their children.

The Armory Site

It was gloomy day as members OF
the District National Guard marched
down Constitution avenue on Army
Day, but there was a distinct ray
of good cheer for them emanating
from Capitol Hill. The silver lining
to the clouds was the announce
ment that the House Subcommittee
on District Appropriations had made
q concrete move toward realization
of the Guardsmen's long-cherished
dream of a modern armory in the
Nations Capital.
For many years the local Guard
has sought vainly for home with
adequate facilities for drilling its men
and storing its arms. Its present
"armory," if such it can be called, is
the dilapidated National Hotel, at
Sixth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue-a relic at least century and
a quarter old. The committee put
it aptly when it stated that the con-
tinued use of the venerable structure
for National Guard purposes 'consti-
tutes disgrace to the Capital City"
Quite surprising, however, and
somewhat puzzling withal, was the
action of the committee in recon-
mending that the proposed armory
be erected in Southwest Washington,
instead of in the Eastern section of
the city, as had been suggested by
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission A subcommittee
member attributed the change in site
to a feeling that the projected struc-
ture would be a barn" or ware
house" type of building that would
not harmonize with the imposing
plans for development of the area at
the foot Of East Capitol street. The
basis for such belief is not apparent.
Several tentative architectural stud
les of the armory have been made in
recent years and all gave the building
a monumental appearance, in keeping
with the whole improvement pro-
gram east of the Capitol The Federal
Government already owns many
acres of undeveloped land in that
area and there is ample room for
expansion and for parking, whereas
title presumably would have to be
acquired to a considerable tract of
improved property in the already
congested Southwest section in order
to provide an adequate site there for
the armory
Since the Park and Planning Com
mission approved the East Capitol
location only after protracted con-
sideration, it would be serious mis-
take to ignore the. counsel of this
commission in the armory project.
Citizens who, like the commission,
favor balanced, orderly develop
ment of Greater Washington, hope
that Congress will think twice before
definitely deciding to shift the
armory site from the wide expanses
of the east to the crowded sections
south and west of the Capitol.

TWE11TY-NINTH STREET.

Dear Sir:
ever since reading with SO much en-
joyment all your recent articles on birds
and particularly your list of birds seen
at the Chevy Chase Club and in q
garden two blocks from the club and in
Falls Church, we have wanted to con-
tribute our very carefully kept list of
birds seen In Chevy Chase garden
about two blocks from Rock Creek Park.
This garden has always many of our
feathered friends and this year the song
sparrows and juncos have been in par
tlcularly large quantities. It was the first
year that we have observed the juncos
scratching as do the song sparrows, and,
OF course, the white-throat and fox
sparrows
Our mocker comes at intervals for
MS ralsins, which, by the way, the star
hngs also enjoy, and on very cold days
brings his mate with him, but to date
we have seen no aggressiveness on their
part
Neither have we enjoyed having the
purple grackles, finding them most un-
pleasant In every way. In our garden
the English sparrow is never nuisance >
except IN driving all other birds from
the bird boxes. And the starting only
at the suet box, but by tying a piece of
suet on tree as we'll, there is generally
an alternate place for the woodpeckers
to go.
In the summer Of 1887 we had one
footed purple grackle and in February.
1898, we observed him again on the feed
ing tray. OF course we had them all the
way through till November, with their
annoying noises and annoying ways.
we had our first robin on January
20, but 1t was not until February II that
they came to stay On February we
observed our first purple finches, and this
morning enjoyed pretty sight when two
flnches and male cardinal sat eating
on the window ledge within an arms
reach of us. At another feeder were the
females, which were soon Joined by their
mates.
However, our biggest thrill today was
our first observed visit from the brown
thrasher who has been here all after
noon eating bread-and at 6 pm is still
having his last bites.
"The white-throats and juncos are still
with us. The flicker is here almost every
day at the suet.
THE bluebirds, which the previous
winter could be seen in our boxes from
morning until evening, have not been
with us so constantly this year, coming
only occasionally for water or to look the
birdhouses over-though the same menu
of crushed salted peanuts has been con-
tinued
I'VE turn instantly to your article
every evening-and admit that We enjoy
it particularly when it has to do with
birds. All your articles and letters this
spring have been so interesting. Thank
you again.

logical to assume that the same holds
true today. Police records show case
after case of petty crimes committed
by migrants. At present the Council
of Social Agencies is making a survey
of the situation.
President Roosevelt has pro-
claimed the problem to be national
in scope, and it should be treated
nationally. It is to be hoped
that Americas shifting population
will be cared for at an early date by
comprehensive program, possibly
one including Federal grants-in- aid
to the District and the States to set
up transient bureaus, and incorporate
ing the recommendations made in
the report which the President has
sent to Capitol Hill.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles E. Truce1uell.

The list Of birds seen in the 5000 block
Of Twenty-ninth street NV. is as fol-
lows:
Bluebird, scarlet tanager, mockingbird,
brown thrasher, downy woodpecker
hairy woodpecker, -bellied woodpecker
sapsucker, robin, blackbird, purple
grackle, song sparrow. English sparrow
white e-throated sparrow, fox sparrow
white-croWned sparrow, chipping spar
row, black poll warbler, pine warbler
blackburnian warbler, magnolia warbler
parula warbler, black -throated green
warbler, black and white warbler, red
start, ovenbird, wood thrush, olive
backed thrush, cardinal bluejay, house
wren, Carolina wren, goldf1nch, purple
finch, pee-Wee, dove, pigeon, quail, Bal
timore oriole, blue-gray gnat catcher
red-breasted nuthatch, breasted
nuthatch, vireo, red-breasted grosbeak
cowbird, startling, catbird, flicker, junco,
towhee, crow, ruby-throated humming-
bird, chickadee, titmouse, brown creeper
and small hawk.
This is another interesting list added
to the three previously printed here and
tops by few birds the numbers in those
respective compilations.
Such lists show about which birds the
average watcher may expect to see, more
or less, in years time, not all at once.
These are actual lists, not theoretical.
This particular one shows several more
members of the warbler family than most
observers will be able to name.
Some people have great trouble with
identifying the Warblers, even when they
spot them, while others do not see them
at all, they are so small and elusive.
The writer here has three crippled
birds at feeding stations every day.
One is one-legged dove. the others
are pigeons with one game leg each.
The dove is as spunky as can be- SUM-
day he chased away from the feeder a
bluejay, which settled down with q
raucous yell.
The cry did not intimidate the dove in
the least.
1t seemed to feel that it was there first
and so should have the entire outfit to
itself
Hobbling forward in a very painful
manner its usual gait on the ground, it
made at the jay with so much evident
determination that the latter did not
hesitate to take to flight.
The crippled pigeons do not seem hurt
so much. but are able to get around very
nicely. What large fellows pigeons are
to be sure! AS one of our correspondents
said recently, they are best considered as
fowls.
There seems to be no practical way
to keep pigeons from feeding stations
Perhaps it is just as we'll, for unless one
happened to be living in some downtown
neighborhood, where focks are congre-
gated, not more than half dozen come
to any one feeder. Almost any station
can stand half dozen pigeons

Reich Trade Crisis

Germany is up against a foreign
trade crisis Of major proportions. If
not solved promptly, it may wreck
lot of Reichsfuehrer Hitler's dreams
of empire.
Confronted with the emergency,
the Third Reich prepares to ram her
products down the worlds throat at
almost any cost. Thus, during the
next fiscal year, 1939-40, the German
government is ready to subsidize ex-
port industries to the tune of billion
and a half marks ($6O00OO,0OO) to
which private industry itself has
added another billion marks ($40O,-
100000.
Taken together, Germany will have
billion dollars for artificial stimu-
lation of trade abroad. How seriously
she regards the situation is evident
