The Guild Hall

To what extent the Guild Hall of
the City of London has been damaged
is not altogether clear from reports
of Sunday nights bombardment.
Dispatches merely said: "At one
time, the roof was a
vast bonfire, with the Union Jack
still flying from its staff" The sug-
geSted picture bears a striking re-
Semblance to that written by an
historian of the Great Fire of 1866,
whose book contains the passage:
THAT night the sight of Guild Hall
was fearful spectacle, which stood,
the whole body of it together in view,
for several hours together after the
fire had taken it, without flames Il
suppose because the timber was such
solid oake), in a bright shining coale,
as if it had been a palace of gold
or a great building of FURNISHED
brass"
American visitors to the heart of
the worlds greatest metropolis have
known the place well. Many of them
have BEEN guests at Lord Mayors
Show or perhaps at some less official
but almost equally colorful meeting
in the Great Hall, rebuilt between
1910 and 1898, with a roof of carved
timber finished as recently as 1866.
The crypt dates back to 1411, and
portions of the adjacent Museum
likewise are old. Dick Wilmington
was one of the founders of the
Library, re-eStabliShed by Richard
Lambert Jones in 1924. Among the
noteworthy exhibits was the auto
graph of Shakespeare, attached to
the purchase deed of a house in
Blackfriars. dated March 10, 1912
Still more attractive to the casual
tourist, however, was the Art Gallery,
opened in 1886. Generous donors,
including a number of painters who
have contributed canvases of their
own production, are responsible for
the more important works displayed.
Sir Joshua Reynolds, Sir Thomas
erick Watts, Sir Ernest WaterloW, Sir
Edward Poynter, Lord Leighton, Hol-
man Hunt, Sir John Lavery and many
other masters are represented. Pos
sibly the most distinctively memora-
BILE achievement is that of F. w. w.
Topham'S Incident in the Plague"
based upon paragraph in the diary
of Samuel PepyS-an Interpretation
of human pathos so poignant as to
be impressed forever in the memory
Of any sensitive spectator
Treasures susceptible of removal,
it is indicated, are safe in hiding;
but the Guild Hall itself, a Landmark
which could not be concealed, neces-
Sarily remained available as a Nazi
target. The probable loss may be
all-incluSive. Yet the home of the
Corporation of London would not
perish in vain The flag of
England never will be lowered to
foe whose ruthleSsneSS serves merely
to provoke continued resistance.

Warfare in the Pacific

Last weeks mystery bOmbardment
of the tiny island of Nauru in the
isolated reaches of the South Pacific
is followed by circumstantial reports
from Manila and Shanghai of far
flung German activities against
shipping in Far Eastern waters. 1t
is seemingly a series of diversified
depredationS that Nazi ships and
secret agents ashore are committing.
Already at least fifteen vessels of
British, Dutch and Norwegian regis
try, ordinarily engaged in peaceful
Asiatic Pacific traffic, have disap-
peared, leaving no vestige, except in
discriminate remnants of wreckage.
The grim news is reminiscent of
the unrestricted U-boat warfare de-
creed by the KaiSer's navy during
the World War, according to which
enemy craft was ordered "spurloS
versunken" (to be sunk without
trace, regardless of any and all con-
siderations There is not visible in
this Nazi campaign rampant in the
vast Pacific any Semblance OF the
knightliness associated with the saga
of the famous raider Emden, which
so long and successfully preyed upon
Allied shipping throughout the seven
seas before she was brought to book
by an Australian cruiser.
The operations now in progress in
clude not only open attacks on mer-
chant vessels by German sea raiders,
but Surreptitious destruction of
cargoes previous to their loading, or
secret treatment of them designed
to destroy or spoil them before they
reach destination There are also
stories of high explosives smuggled
aboard ships in the guise of cargo or
baggage, and even of time bombs
affixed to hullS.
Accompanying these reports are
significant allegations that numer-
Gus German merchant marine and
naval officers are at present regis
tered in China and Japan for cor
sair work" These various develop
ments are regarded as symptomatic
of axis plans to agitate the Far
Eastern situation and particularly to
bring pressure to bear upon Japan
in the hope of speeding her south
ward expansionist advance and in
volving her with the United States,
thus handicapping American assist
ance to Britain. The official Toxic
radio during the past week end ad-
mitted the sinking of seven British

Warning to Business

In emphasizing the urgent need, in
his year-end statement on business
conditions, for an immediate increase
in industrial production and plant
capacity, Secretary of Commerce
Jones has sounded a timely warning.
In view of the mistakes of other de-
mocracies, which permitted ire
placeable time to slip by without
pushing production to the full po-
tential of labor and raw material
resources" an expansion of indus
trial output, he said, is of vital i'm
portance to the United States.
The defense program and the
orders placed by the British Empire
for war materials have changed the
entire business picture in this coun-
try. A year ago, because OF the lack
of demand for capital goods, the
United States had a great deal of
unused industrial equipment. Many
of the key durable goods industries
are now operating at close to capacity
limits, with the result that the major
problem today is one of increasing
production and enlarging plant ca
pacity rather than idle resources.
How can output be increased to
meet the demands on American in
dustry? Secretary Jones, SO far, has
offered no specific plans for achiev-
ing this. In recent address in New
York, former President Hoover made
several sound suggestions for pro-
ducing more war supplies. Among
these were the lifting of govern
mental and other restrictions that
limit or discourage production, and
an agreement between employees and
employers, in the defense industries,
to substitute arbitration and concil-
iation for strikes and lockouts. Some
Industries have stepped up produc-

Decrease in w. P. A.

Because OF the vast expenditures
required by the preparedness
program, the announcement of
a decrease of $4,000 in Work
Projects Administration rolls in
November is welcome news.
Though nearly 100000 persons
are still employed on Federal work
relief projects, there were 464,000
fewer thus employed in November
than a year ago. AS the Department
of Labor pointed out in making pub
lie its latest employment estimates,
the hiring of additional workers in
industry and on construction prof.
ectS financed from Federal funds
has lessened the need for creating
jobs on public work relief projects.
Exclusive of the armed forces, total
non-agricultural employment in No
vember was 36,535 900, an increase
of 100000 in twelve months.
Though the average decrease for the
month during the preceding eleven
years lids Utcll fOU,UUU, pllNcCC GILL
ployment in November increased 40
OO0 Current gains are in large part
due to the defense expenditures,
which are pushing industrial produc-
ton, at many points, to new high
levels. AS the aid-to-Britain pro-
gram expands, and as our rearma-
ment effort broadens, further in
crease in private employment seems
certain.
Public relief, in recent years, has
taken a large slice of the Federal
budget. A reduction in w. P. A.
appropriations, which the country
has the right to expect in the light
of the continuing increase in indus
trial employment, and pruning of
on-defense expenditures, should
make possible the balancing of the
Governments normal budget for
the coming fiscal year.

land monopoly exactions on the one
side, and major costs of government
on the other
These single-taxers, or rather anti
takers, are power in Great Britain,
constituting as they do the body of the
parliamentary Opposition" Hence
there is the prospect that England will
emerge from this war to become not
less but more democratic by adding
economic freedom in the use of her soil
to the political freedom she has long
enjoyed.
Totalitarianism likely will be swept
under by Communism. The difference
will show in the breaking up of great
feudal estates and hunting preserves
that are back of the lust for conquest
and make mockery of the howl for
more living room. However cherries the
prospect for advocates of self-rule, there
should be no doubt as to which of the
two affords the better promise of ulti-
mate democracy.

ton by putting their machines on
six or seven day week and hiring
additional workers to assure con-
tinuous operation. other factories
prof1tably could use the same method
to eliminate the Friday Monday
"blackout."
Though output of existing facili-
ties probably could be increased
through such means as these, more
factories and plants plainly are
needed to meet the requirements of
defense and the expanded aid-to-
Britain program. There should be no
delay in determining how many new
plants are necessary in each industry,
then making provision for their i'm
mediate construction. AS Secretary
Jones declared, I'VE must meet the

! There is not much chance that the
animal will harm the bird, but simply
will keep it from eating.
| In most cases such birds soon learn
| how to take care of themselves in mixed
company. Often they feed only when
there are few birds on the ground
In some cases the injured one prefers
to eat aloft, having managed itself in
the air better than on the ground. 1t
is best then to supply it with small

from the limb Of a tree.
Injuries are received by birds through
many causes.
A shot may take off birds foot, or
1t may get its foot caught in some way,
either in vines, brambles or wire.
Just how a bird may injure a foot

the fence the other day, when a small
hawk bomb -dived" across the yard into

Selling the victim, the hawk tried
to fly through the fence, but got caught

he was upside down, struggling nightly.
Whether he received leg injury we

But it was exactly the way bird,

In nature there is no assistance for

Whatever harm it does to itself in the

No doubt many birds die in such
natural traps, or are injured to such an
extent that they die after working their
way free.
The life of birds at the best is attended

other birds.
| The greatest danger to bird life, of

Man has killed more birds than all the

Suggests Commission
To Check Butterfat in Milk.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Having been in the business of pro-
ducing milk for the Washington market
during the past 13 years, feel that am
in position to write this letter.
Naturally, as producer Of milk, 1
am more interested in the best prices
for the producer; nevertheless, I feel
that there is one major deficiency in
the Washington market which greatly
affects the consumer and consequently
affects the producer. This is the butter
fat content of milk sold to the con-
sumner on the Washington market. AS
you know, the amount of butterfat milk
contains governs the quality and cream
line. There is no indication or guarantee
that any milk contains any certain
butterfat content except the fact that
the District Health Departments
minimum requirement is 35 per cent. In
other words, there is no way for the
consumer to know what the butterfat
content is on any bottle he buys, be it
Tor II cents, IL cents, 13 cents or IA
cents quart. This content may range
anywhere from 35 per cent to as per
cent or above depending on the dairy of
origin.
The remedy for this would be to re-
quire each dairy to stamp plainly on
the bottle cap the amount of butterfat.
There has been much said about the
purity of the milk sold in Washington
and I truly believe that there is no
market in the country that enjoys a
purer milk, but the consumer is left
holding the bag when it comes to the
degree of quality he is receiving. The
farmer is paid prices based upon the
butterfat he ships. why should not the
consumer require the same from the
dairy as the dairy does from the farmer?
The State of Virginia has a milk COM
mission, which constantly checks the
consumer butterfat against the price
paid, thereby assuring the consumer he
gets what he pays for. believe the
Capital of our Nation likewise should
protect the consumer by some similar
commission and regulations.
