Good Friday

This is the Day of the Cross.
Millions of Christian men and women
will observe it as the anniversary Of
the execution of the Son of God. He
died at the hands of mob which
had preferred Barabbas The chief
priests and elders" according to
Saint Matthew, had persuaded the
multitude" to demand the death of
Him of whom Plate had spoken as
"this just person.
So perished at Golgotha the Gentle
Carpenter who also was a Prince of
the House of David. His foes Knocked
Him in His agony, declaring: He
saved others; Himself He cannot
save" But they doubted even to the
last, fearing perhaps that Elias
would come to release Him from the
tateful tree.
And those Who these nineteen
centuries later, still cruelty the sons
of God likewise must feel some
skepticism as to their crimes. The
history of the world is theirs to read.
From it they could learn, if they
would, the folly of their violence and
the futility of the victories they win
by such recourse. Whole nations
cannot be exterminated. The van
pushed may yield, yet they do not
surrender. Truth may be crushed
for moment, but it rises again.
Christ knew these verities and
lived by them. Hence, His resurrec-
ton. And with Him stand Socrates,
with his hemlock cup; Joan of Arc,
free from the flame; Huss and
Servetus; a thousand other martyrs
who we're destroyed by hate, only to
be rescued by love, They symbolic
the eternal realities, the immortal
values which fear and greed cannot
achieve.
The Day of the Cross, then, now as
in the long ago, is merely prelude
to Easter, the Festival of Death Con-
quered and Sorrow Overcome. How
ever dark the sky, that vision is sure
of fulfillment under an Almighty
Father whose attributes are justice
and mercy toward His children.

problem of co-ordinating rapid

Diplomatic Rebuke

Secretary Hulls rather sharp re-
buke to James H. R. Cromwell, our
Minister to Canada. is in keeping
with the State Departments policy
OF not permitting diplomatic repre-
sentatives to speak on controversial
subjects without first submitting
copies OF their addresses to the de-
partment for advance approval. The
wisdom of such policy is obvious
and there is no reason why Mr.. Hull
should have made an exception to
the rule in Mr.. Cromwell's case.
1t is worthy of note, however, that
the newly appointed Minister'S Of
fense consisted of speaking out of
turn" as a diplomatic representative,
and did not run to the theme of his
address. Most Americans will agree
with his criticism of the German gov
ernment and his expression of SYM
pathy with the allied cause. Few will
dissent from his proposition that the
world would be less desirable place
in which to live II the British and
the French should be defeated.
AS Minister to a belligerent nation
from a neutral United States, Mr..
Cromwell should not have said these
things, but as an individual he need
not be ashamed of his remarks. If
he stays in the diplomatic service
Mr.. Cromwell will have to conform
to the rules of conduct laid down by
his superiors. It does not follow,
however, that he should be expected
to abandon the views he expounded
at Tnrnntn

Waiting on Britain

The win the war" cabinet organ
lied by Premier-Foreign Minister
Feynaud alters Frances war leader
ship more in form than in substance,
and only slightly more than Edouard
Daladier might have been expected
to do under his own premiership, II
the unfortunate Chamber of Deputies
vote had not induced him to lay
down the reins of government.
There is, therefore, a striking con-
tinuity in Frances war leadership,
in spite of the fact that the premier
ship has changed hands.
The personnel Of the key war
conducting posts is illustrative. Be-
sides the new Premier, who formerly
was Finance Minister, Camille Chau-
temps remains as Vice Premier and
Cesar Campinchi as Navy Minister
M. Daladier who formerly was For
eign and National Defense Minister
as we'll as Premier, retains the de-
fense post, A change has been made
in the Air Ministry, however, with
Laurent Eynac, who formerly held
this post, replacing Guy La Chambre.
Thus, for the most part, the same
men will be at the helm in France
as during the six and half months
of the war, except that M. Daladier
will be free of his extremely heavy
triple assignment.
Although the new Premier and
cabinet appear to receive widespread
acceptance as answering the demand
for more active prosecution of the
war, their path is not likely to be a
smooth one.
In the first place, the government
has against it two Rightist parties,
whose refusal to accept ministries
prevented the formation of a ma
tional union cablnet-Pierre-Et -Etienne
Flandin's Republican Alliance and
Louis Marin's Rightist Republicans.
The powerful Radical-Socialist party
of M. Daladier also is reserving its
approval until the government proves
its policies by its acts.
In the second place, it will scarcely
be possible for France to embark on
a single-handed offensive against
Germany, no matter how highly dis
posed the Reynaud government may
g be to vigorous conduct of the war.
BY the very nature of their alliance,
France must wait for England and
England has not yet taken the steps
corresponding to those already taken
in France to prepare the ground for
strong offensive action. In the alb
sence of immediate offensive action,
M. Reynaud may find himself under
the same pressure as M. Daladier.
There is increasing evidence, how
ever, that British cabinet reorgan-
ization is imminent, and may be
accomplished over the Easter holi-
days, but there is no concrete evi-
dence that Mr.. Chamberlain has
decided-on expert advice-the time

Dangerous Voyuqes

Two great gray ghost ships of
Britain's merchant fleet are plowing
through the potentially dangerous
waters of the Atlantic today on mys-
terious missions. The huge 81 ,O0O-
ton passenger liner, Queen Mary,
holder OF the Atlantic speed record,
and the slower and smaller Maure-
tania, named for the famous old
liner that was junked some years
ago, sailed from New York within
few hours of each other for destina-
tions known only to their officers
and the British Admiralty. That
both ships expected to venture into
enemyi infested seas was evident
from the precautionary measures
taken before the voyages began.
Both had been painted a dirty gray
for camouflage purposes and all
portholes had been blacked out.
The Mauretania Jared forth with
a sink-on- sight threat hanging over
her. Hitler's U-boats have declared
her to be fair game, with no restric-
tlons, because she carries two anti
aircraft guns and a cannon on her
afterdecks. The Queen Mary is be-
lleved to be unarmed, but there are
rumors that she may put in at Hall
fax to take on several guns. BY thus
armlng she, too, would be inviting
sink sight action by the German
naval forces, which have been
Instructed to regard armed merchant
ships as auxiliary warships.
Although the commanders of the
ships refused to discuss their plans.
most of the speculation has centered
around possible use of the big vessels
as transports between Australia and
the Near East. Troop ships already
have carried more than 33 900 Anzacs
to the eastern front" where the
French and British are massing large
numbers Of men in apparent antici-
patton OF a Balkan drive. Three
more Australian divisions, totaling
nearly $4,000 men, are said to be
preparing to embark. To reach
Australia, the Queen Mary would
have to dare the South Atlantic,
favorite hunting spot OF Nazi pocket
battleships, as she is too bulky to 20
through the Panama Canal. It is
approximately 10000 miles to Aus
tralia by way of either Cape Horn or
the Cape Of Good Hope. That would
involve refueling en- route. The Maui
retania could save about 1000 miles
by using the canal, which could
easily accommodate her $4,000 tons.
Perils Of such transport service are
great. Unless adequately conveyed,
troop ships are easy prey of subma-
rines and surface raiders. And a
transport loaded with troops would
be a rare prize in the grim game of
war. If the conjecturing as to the
missions of the Mauretania and
Queen Mary is we'll founded, grave
indeed are the responsibilities which
have been thrust upon the masters
and crews of these erstwhile luxury
liners of the Atlantic.

Tells Of Tragedy"
OF New Spring Hat.
To tha Tditep - IT.. St.

A little story has been passed along from
sewing circle to guild meeting In the
Chevy Chase section which might point
a moral. At any rate 1t is seasonal and
in line with the spring styles.
1t seems young lady employed in one
OF the Government departments set out
to attend funeral service in one of the
leading churches. Finding she had an
hour or more to spare before the service
began, she thought it good opportunity
to select her spring headgear. Choosing
one of those collar-box shapes covered
with flowers Of bright hues. she decided
upon arrival at the church it would be
more fitting to wear her old hat. The
new creation" she deposited on a table
in the vestry while she listened to the
funeral sermon and joined in the serv-
Ice. What was her surprise and con-
sternation when the casket was carried
down the aisle, covered with floral trib-
utes from friends and relatives, to see
her new spring hat reposing as center
piece among blooms and blossoms from
the florist shops! L.R.T

Enterprise Punished

From all over the Nation come bit
ter complaints that business is being
stif1ed by taxes and picayune restric-
tions. It would almost seem, say the
compliments, that the administra-
tion regards enterprise as criminal.
In support of the theory may be
advanced typical case in California,
having its origin in a heavy precipi-
tation In the Los Angeles area.
So heavy was it, in fact, that visit
ing heretics from the East called it
rain. The Star, however, will take
the word of the California Chamber
OF Commerce and call it dew. At any
rate, when the moisture had reached
the proportions of raging torrent,
two rugged individualists muscled in
on the Governments dam building
monopoly by clogging up a storm
drain at road intersection with
f1otsam and jetsam. and then stood
by, with rope and an old jallopy
parked on high ground and waited
for their investment to mature.
When the lake rose high enough to
stall automobiles trying to get
through, the businessmen charged
a dollar apiece to haul them out.
But, alas, shortly after they began
collecting dividends, they were haled
into packed court on the trumped-
up charge of building dam without
a license. Not only were they taxed
forty dollars-a sum greater than
their profits-but bureaucrats con-
fiscated their dam and destroyed it.
In such fashion do the authorities
discourage individual initiative, and
hasten the day when 1t will be sunk
without trace in an ocean Of regi-
mentation.

Wire Tapping Urged
In Major Crimes.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In the papers Of March l6 read that
eight men indicted for crime have been
set free because the evidence against
them was obtained In part by wire
tapping. This brings up the deplorable
fact that our Supreme Court recently
