less than a year Poland, Finland,
Norway, the Netherlands, Belgium
and France have been blasted by
total war. Photographs from War
saw and Louvain printed in The Star
are but samples of the horror which
has been visited upon hundreds of
thousands of innocent and peaceable
men, women and children. Prevail
ing censorship prevents a more
comprehensive demonstration of the
needs Of surviving victims of the
cataclysn.
But the average citizen of the
United States is competent to
imagine the pitiful plight Of the
refugees from the conquered terri
tories. Mu.titudes of them have fled
to England, still larger numbers are
in France. 1t is the privilege as we'll
as the duty OF Americans to help in
the emergency. The economic sacri-
flee will be inconsequential, the
benefit in terms of mercy applied to
human agony incalculable. President
Roosevelt would have been justified
in requesting twice or thrice as much
as he has solicited. Those who share
this point of view and wish to give

contributions to the nearest chapter
of the American Red Cross.

much about his health. A Rhodes
scholar at oxford, he returned home
to teach law, history and economics.
Politics, however, drew him with
magnetic power. He joined the staff
Of Premier Mackenzie King in 1927,
spent two years as secretary to his
leader, then eventually was elected to
Parliament and named Minister of
Labor in 1885. Only a month ago he
was in London to confer with Prime
Minister Winston Churchill.

Canada in her loss, may find the
quality Of Mr.. Rogers mind repre-
sented In these words from the
speech he did not survive to read to
his Toronto audience: "The serious
ness of the present situation does not
warrant the expression Of optimistic
platitudes. It is better to face grim
realities with courage and resolution
but let us never for a moment lose
our supreme confidence in final
victory"

Thinks All Possible Aid
Should Be Given Allies.
To the Editor of The Star.

TO the Edltor OF Inc star.
The democracies are certain to win
this struggle, in the end. There is a
law of physics equally applicable to
human affairs which states in effect
that when any force is set in motion
equal forces Of opposition arise to re-
sist it.
We are democracy, our way of life
has been challenged, and whether we
like it or not we are one of the forces
of opposition.
This is no time to be weakened and
I believe that we should with utmost
speed and with every ounce of our
united energy give all possible aid to
help the Allies while their courage is
high. Such aid could not fail to give
them tremendous impetus.
Regardless of threats from overseas
also believe that we Immediately
should take vigorous and intelligent steps
to place ourselves in a position to hit
first in case our Nation, or any other
part of this Western Hemisphere, is
menaced either from within or without.
There are many who seem to have
lost faith in the old U. S. A., but I, for
one, have unbounded confidence in our
democracy and feel that we are part of
a greater union Of the free peoples of
the world whose moral strength is gain
ing viewers with alarm to the con-
trary) while that Of the forces of de-
struction has neared its peak and in

Urges Real Effort
Toward Peace.

To the Editor Of The Star
In the present world struggle. the
sympathies Of the average American are
unquestionably with the Allies. 1t fire.
quently has been pointed out that the
British Navy is our first line of defense;
it is conceded that English speaking ma
tions have similar interes and customs.
Hence, in any event. a continued alliance
with our English cousins is more de-
sirable than any possible industrial
"hookup' with Hitler and his Nazi forces.
However, inasmuch as the last World
War failed utterly to make the earth
safe for democracy, there is little. if any,
reason to believe that when the present
conflict terminates a social millennium
will dawn. assuming the Allies are again
victorious.
Releasing veritable rivers of blood
while hurting bombs around, may bring
a false, temporary peace, but what of
the future? The vanquished will harbor
ideas Of hatred and revenge which, after
smoldering for a time, will burst forth
in fresh conf1agrations. We prate of
peace on earth, good will to men," but
until nations, as well as individuals, make
united attempt to practice what is
so often preached, warfare will continue
and junglelike tendencies be promoted.

Mr.. Vargas Speech

Intelligent appraisal of the real
significance of a rather startling
speech made yesterday by President
Getulio Vargas of Brazil must await
more complete reports than are i'm
mediately available on the address.
He was quoted in press dispatches as
saying that vigorous peoples fit for
life must follow the route of their
aspirations" and that I'VE are march
ing toward future different from
all we know in economic, political
and social organization and we feel
that old systems and antiquated
formulas have entered a decline"
These words formed only a small
part of his entire speech, however,
and it would not be wise nor fair to
jump at conclusions and interpret
them alone as indicating sympathy
for Hitler and Mussolini since the
remainder of his address may have
thrown different light on them.
1t should not be overlooked that
the Brazilian President also told his
nation that it is united by ties of
strict solidarity with all American
countries around the ideas, aspira-
tions and common interest in our
defense" President Vargas long has
been considered one of the closest
friends Of the United States in,South
America. Brazil has co-operated
fully in moves to strengthen hemi-
spheric solidarity against dangers
from abroad. This solidarity is too
important to Brazil's own interests,
as it is to each Of the American
republics, for 1t 10 be likely that she
would deliberately put any strain
upon that solidarity.

in the world or We may be able to create
q vast f1ivver feet outnumbering anv
combination which might invade this
country, but in either case the value of
such an air force will be judged not by
the quality or quantity of the aircraft,
but by the ability of the men who will
fly them into battle and by the knowl-
edge, judgment and experience of the
commanding officers of the air arm.
The halfway measures which have
been undertaken by this Nation during
the last fortnight are entirely made
quate. They reflect, in their shortcom-
ings, the hide-bound, antiquated think
ing of the officials who desire that the
American armed forces be prepared to
fight the last World War. Until those
gentlemen realize that 1910 is not 1917,
the United States will be no farther
along the road to preparedness than
at present.
Modern warfare calls for the complete
mobilization of great armed forces and
war industries months before the first
battle.
Modern warfare calls for the compile
tion of the air forces equipment and
training program and the development
of a second and even third line reserve
before the opening of hostilities.
Modern warfare, above all, calls for
experience-either upon wars battlefelds
or through program of maneuvers-
which will fit the soldier, non-com and
officer for field service.
II we desire to be safe from invasion.
we must be prepared completely to repel
any power or coalition of powers. We
cannot do this unless we declare a vir-
tual state of siege and turn every hand
in America to the development of an
Army, Navy and air force second to
none and commanded by officers who
are not afraid to stray from the path
charted by the now proven obsolete
military axioms. JUSTIN.

Sublime LONELINESS

With graceful lines that flow 50 fault

Your form is shaped with perfect SYM
metry;
The silky, velvet richness Of your dress
Deep-dyed in gorgeous startling vivid
Is brilliant, beautiful beyond compare,
And richer, darker seems to those who
dare
Look deep within your hidden, secret
heart
Your scent, more precious than that
made by art
OF man, with rash extravaganza you spill
Upon the misty morning air 50 still.
It's heady subtlety sounds no alarm.
So small and great fall captive to your
charm.

do not The latter are the die-hards,
but they often cut themselves of from
new phases of musical endeavor by
their stiffness of musical approach.
Music is not just one thing, it is
all things to all men, and unless we
try to understand what it means to
somebody else we are in danger of
losing what it means to US.
The robin. in the rain, really swings"
his melody
Just what he does, we have never
quite figured out. Probably some one
can tell us.
But his notes take on an entirely
different tonal aspect than on sunshiny
days.
Most often this difference in char
acter begins the evening before. This is
the famous Singing for rain" which
the robin INDUCES in.
1t is an emphatic, demanding sort
of song, querulous, whereas the ordi-
nary every day affair is sweeter, and
somewhat softer.
The rain song is louder, sharper,
which is easily noticed once it has been
realized by the listener. This is where
really listening to bird songs comes in;
once you really listen, just as you
would to concert, you soon come to
distinguish such changes, even when
they are just of temperament. For
the birds are temperamental as any
human singers. Perhaps there is some
thing in singing which makes birds
and people that way. Although we
have said that birds are instrumental
lists, rather than singers. we do not
mean that they have the fixity and
rigidlty of a musical instrument. No,
they really act more like human sing
ers than human players of instruments.
This is because their voice, or instru-
ment, is veritable part of them, and
subject to the change which all flesh
undergoes One day, we are happy and
we'll, and the next we do not feel so
good, as the phrase has it, and no one,
not even the doctor knows exactly why.
The robin song often fails to get the
credit it rates. While it lacks the
pattern of the wood thrushs song
and the clear magic Of the song of the
song sparrow, 1t has a definite charac-
ter all its own which sets it apart on
city lawn, suburban garden or in the
fields and forests.
This wild, free song must have cheered
the coonists, who. being homesick for
England, and noting the robins breast,
gave 1t the popular name robin" al
though it belongs to the thrush family
All down the years the song of the
robin has continued to cheer the ma
ton. This bird might we'll be chosen
as the national bird for it is as peppy
as any eagle, when the necessity arises.
We saw two Of them fighting on the
lawn the other day. One after the
other rushed, then rose in the air
turned and rushed again; they took
turns at the rushing business and really
seemed to be putting up a fight. But
they are birds of peace, preferably, al
though their motto is that old one.
Don't tread on me-

Mare Nostrum

Premier Mussolini's avowed war
aim of controlling the Mediterranean
casts a dark shadow over all the
peoples of Southern Europe and
Northern Africa, the shadow of
things to come If Fascist Italy is
victorious in its war against the
Allies.
For Mussolini, this war is one for
supremacy not only on the waters of
what the Italians call Mare Nos
trum," but on its shores as we'll and
the Fascist hand, under the guise of
breaking it's chains" is reaching out
to grasp what it can, not only in
Tunis, Jibuti, Corsica and along the
Riviera, but also in Spain, Greece,
Turkey and Egypt.
The peril for these peoples is the
loss of security which an Italian
dominated Mediterranean signifies.
AS long as this great inland sea
remains free and open to all nations,
they need have little fear of aggres-
sion, for there is safety in a con-
troll which is divided among British
French and Italians. But if those
waters are transformed into vast
Italian domain, the little countries
along it's borders will be at the mercy
of dynamic, aggressive Fascism.
Greece will find herself engulfed in
an Italian lake, and forced, by that
fact, to accommodate herself to
Italian desires and policies. Gone
will be the freedom of decision which
is the essence of sovereignty and
independence, and free national
existence will be exchanged for
servitude.
Turkey likewise will find herself
trapped and ultimately caught be-
tween Italy and Russia in struggle
for control of the straits of the
Bosporus and Dardanelles. Yugo-
slavia, Bulgaria and Rumania will be
drawn into the Fascist orbit, too,
even more deeply than they are
today. Spain, too, will be less secure
along her east coast.
Economically an Italian Mediter-
ranean will be just as serious
matter not only for the riparian
peoples, but for every country which
now shares in the Mediterranean
trade, including the United States.
Italy will have the ability to shut off
the great inland sea at will, and
economic penetration will go hand in
hand with political penetration.
In short, if Mussolini succeeds in
his avaricious program, the Mediter-
ranean will cease to be the free high
way of nations and will become an
exclusive Italian preserve in which
none will be secure against the i'm
perialism of a renascent Roman
empire, and none will be exempt,
figuratively speaking, from paying
tribute.
