Believes Navy Should
Search Corn Islands,

To The Editor OF The Star:
I have read in the paper that the
island of Martinique has increased its
land forces from 1000 to 5000 men. Also
that the island was adequately supplied
with mobile artillery, etc, and that the
100 American planes sold to France
before the armistice are in perfect COM
bat condition.
In the Caribbean Sea the Corn Islands,
strategically located near the Panama
Canal, leased for 80 years to the United
States by the Nicaraguan government
during the World War, are now har-
boring German refueling bases. Ger
mans on the Corn Islands hire any and
every boat they can to bring drums OF
gasoline and supplies TO the islands
Should not the United States send the
Navy among the Corn Islands and seize
the stores on the islands and the Ger

count for the figure Of 800, 900 French
speaking persons which Vichy dis
patches mention as being slated
for expulsion from their homes
and transportation to unoccupied
France. Reports are also current
that Hitler plans quick Germaniza-
ton Of Lorraine by sending thither
masses of Germans from the nearby
Rhineland, so badly strafed by the
British air force. On the other hand,
Berlin reports that as yet only 10000
LorrainerS have been sent to France
and that the status of the French
speaking population there has not
been wholly defined"
1t is to be noted, however, that
Berlin does not deny the intention
to eXpel great numbers of Lorrainers.
1t may be assumed, therefore,
that a drastic program of Ger
manization is in prospect, and that
we are to witness one more of those
wholesale uprootings of population
which the world has not seen since
ancient and barbarous times.

Gives Views On Charity
For Animals.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Each year when Community Chest
time rolls around I designate part of
nv modest contribution to the Animal
Rescue League.
Some say to me: "Why do you do that
when there are so many needy and
inadequately provided for human chari-
ties?" 1t has also been suggested to me
that since animals are without souls they
should be considered for charity only
if there is something left over and not
required for our brother mortals who
rise 50 far above the level of beast"
That is a philosophy for those who be-
leve to accept, If they must-and for
me to reject.
Whatever may be the verities concern
ing the soul, I would think little of its
reputed grandeur and divine destiny If
it held no compassion for the helpless
and dependent creatures of the streets
and alleys. If man is higher and more
favored creation of the Great Builder
than all other living things. then he is
also a creation endowed with greater
and more compelling responsibility TO
give aid and protection TO those lesser
animals which. uncounted generations
ago. he took from the jungle 10 satisfy

Wants Franklin To
Explain Comments.
To the Editor of The Star.

TO the Editor OF Ihe Star:
am a country boy who lives up here
in the mountains of Virginia, and don't
get out much to hear what is going on.
The other day a fellow from town
came over to our place a hunting and
brought along a sheet of your nice paper
which I read some of. I read a piece
in there by a fellow name, Mr. Jay
Franklin, and he talked so ugly about
the business people up there where he
lives, and so nice about the Government
fellows, that I thought I would like to
hear some more of what he knows about
those things.
Our people up here must not be like
his people up there. Our people that
run stores and things like that up here
are just about as nice as our people who
hold Government jobs. Sometimes I like
some of the people who run stores and
things like that up here a lot better
than I do those fellows who hold law
places, especially that game warden who
is always trying to catch me hunting
SQUIRRELS out of season.
If you know him. Mr.. Editor, will you
please try and get Mr. Jay Franklin to
write another piece in your paper telling
what is just the real difference between
the business fellows and Government
fellows up there where he lives? We
have lot of debates up here in the
mountains, and maybe I could use what

Undomoged London

The New York Times on Sunday
last performed helpful public serv-
ice when it printed a page of photo
graphs coming from England since
the start of unrestricted air war
showing undamaged portions of Lon
don. News dispatches telling of the
bombing of the Tower, the Inner
Temple, st. Bartholomew Hospital,
st. Margaret's Church, Fleet street
and the old Palace Yard of West
minister undoubtedly had given
American readers an exaggerated
notion of the injuries inflicted upon
the worlds largest city by Nazi
strafers. Without denying that sec
tions of the metropolis, especially the
poorer neighborhoodS, have been
blasted again and again with catas-
trophic results, it is distinctly i'm
pOrtant to know and to remember
that the German raiders have not
demolished the hub of the empire.
To prove this truth, pictures made
by staff cameramen of the Times
fortnight ago are published One
shows "the Mother of Parliaments"
with the great tower in which Big
Ben still tells relentlessly the tale of
passing time. Another represents the
north side of Trafalgar Square with
the National Gallery and the church
of st. Martin Stint -the-Fields. Still
further evidence is provided by views
of ''the Old Lady of Threadneedle
Street" doing business as usual, the
Strand with almost normal traffic"
Ludgate Hill and Ludgate Circus,
Oxford street and Selfridge's. Any
of these photographs might have
been taken in a period of perfect
peace. In point of fact they were
assembled between siren alarms.
But the lesson they teach is rea-
sonably independent of the clock
and of the war. If 1T is later than
you think" it also is earlier. The
Battle of Britain is not finished.
Admitting that Buckingham Palace
has been hit it may be remarked
that the portion smashed is small
as compared with that not injured.

Sometimes persons who have to go
to work early think they are very much
abused by fate and their employers.
Actually, they are getting up at the
best time of day, and getting an early
start on the work of the universe.
In such days as these, it well behooves
anybody to get an early start.
If such early risers, instead OF pro-
testing, will work up an interest in
nature, they will find that they are
out at the one best time of all
There can be no question that the
things of nature are just little bit
more hers at 7 am. than they are at
even II o'clock, or noon.
AS the day waneS, and the light be-
comes stronger and finally is at its full,
the world of men takes over where nature
leaves off,
That person is fortunate who, realizing
the beauty and interest of sunrise and
rains and clouds and flowers and birds

Most gardeners learn this early in
their careers.
They know that nothing quite takes
the place of the early morning stroll
around the garden, looking at the plants
with dew on them.
Even if one is a persnickity person,
who dislikes getting the feet wet, there
is something about the early morning
which soothes the soul
Quiet is part of it. no doubt.
The turmoil of modern living is not
always realized. We become used to it.
We do our best to overlook the noise.
But the inner friction is there Just
the same.
1t is the same with the muscles. Often
We do not realize how tightly We hold
to relax. A great deal has been said
about the need for relaxation in recent
years. Books have been written about
it. One scientist has even written three
books, all saying the same thing. but
each addressed TO a different level of
the popular mind
Have you ever tried conscious relaXa-
ton? If you have not you may be
surprised to find out just how much of
1t you need. You Will discover that
muscles in all parts of the body are
held tensed at all times. You can tell
this in others, sometimes, just by lock-
ing at them. They look tense and
act tense.
All of us would be better off We are
told by students Of such things. if we
kept the muscles relaxed when there is
no need of them being tensed The
animals are past masters at it. So are
children. 1t is only the added cares
of later life which compel nervous
persons TO tense their muscles when
there is no need for tension.
The back of the neck, the eyes. and
the mouth are favorites for holding in

himself for this by closing the eyes and

Cites Conditions in England
Between World Wars.
To the Editor o, The Star:

AZ ti4e 6u4Loi VI nc otdI.
Occasionally one finds in ones reading
a paragraph or two interesting enough
to be shared Such to me is the picture
of Britain in the years before the out
break of the second world war which
I quote from England Beautiful by
Wallace Nutting, first published in 1928:
"A country with plethora of people,
needing 10 emigrate to lands afar. and
the lack Of hands on lands at home!
OF course. this thing diStresses the
thinking Enghshmen, but the solid
people are already a minority and can
not swing the country into sense. Partly
the European lacks the adeptneSs of an
American to turn his hand TO some
thing that needs to be done. But partly,
it is hard to see work when the dole
blinds the eye. It is we'll known that
hunger is the spur of genius, and that
much of the immortal literary or artists
work has been done under dire necessity.
1t takes something mighty to bring out
the best even in good man; how much
more in an indolent one. The sltua-
ton would not be so hopeless did it not
operate to enslave still further the self
respecting, willing worker. His net pay
must be smaller because of the terrific
taxes: his exertions redoubled, for every
worker must help support drone.
"All trades are struggling. The COM
petition of Germany is fast becoming
keener than before the tflrst World
War which, in stark reality, she won.
1t may be that after a little the sober
sense for which EngliShmen have be-
come famous will effect slight change
for the better. That there are cases
enough where persons out of work re-
quire assistance cannot be questioned.
but the method of getting at the matter
at present is too crude. Perhaps revo-
luton itself. if not bloody, might, in the
end, be best. The people who finally
got possession Of the property might not
be as ready, or as liable to respond
when called upon to stand and deliver"

Adjournment Issue

When Congress takes up the matter
OF adjournment today, the real ques-
ton before the members ought to be
whether any valid affirmative reason
exists for concluding the session. If
not, it is difficult to understand why
the members Of the House and the
Senate should close up shop and go
home during this period of national
emergency.
Certainly, there are good reasons
for remaining in session. The House
has passed the Logan-Walter bill,
revising procedure before administra-
tive agencies, and has also enacted
several amendments to the Labor
Relations Act. This legislation has
been bottled up in Senate committee,
however, and will die unless acted
on at this session. Whatever may be
thought Of the merits of these mat
tiers, they should be brought to a
vote. Congress is not living up to it's
responsibilities when two important
measures, passed overwhelmingly in
one branch, are permitted to die in
the other as the result of a refusal
by majority leaders to let them be
brought up for consideration.
Nor is it easy to understand how
adjournment-minded leaders can
ignore the possibility that vital mat
tiers requiring congressional attention
may arise at any time from unfore-
seen changes in the international
picture. Efforts were made to bring
about an adjournment in June, but
the Burke WadSWorth Selective serv-
ice bill, billions of dollars in emer-
gency defense appropriation bills,
and the National Guard Act have
been passed since. These measures
show beyond any possibility of dis
pute that the June advocates of
adjournment wholly misread the
future five months ago. Is there any
reason to suppose that they are better
forecasters now?
Republican Senator Vandenberg
presented this aspect of the matter
in concise terms when he said: IF
we are in an emergency that won't
allow the President to 60 more than
twelve hours away from Washington,
I'd say we are in an emergency that
would not allow Congress to be sixty
days from Washington, or beyond its
own recall"
That argument for remaining in
session, in the absence of any real
reason for adjournment, ought to be
controlling of itself, unless Congress
is prepared to modify its earlier
vigorous insistence upon full exercise
of its constitutional prerogatives.

The District Estimates

That a well-rounded budget has
been drafted by the Commissioners
for the next fiscal year is shown by
the comparative statement released
Sunday setting forth totals proposed
for various departments and services.
AS they had promised, the Commits
sioners pared requests of subordinate
officials to a point where no boost in
the tax burden is entailed, yet their
estimates show an increase over pres
ent appropriations approaching the
three -million-dollar mark. While a
full outline of their estimates will not
be disclosed until the budget is
placed before Congress, it appears
that progress may be expected along
many lines.
The problem was somewhat COM
plicated this year by need of funds
for projects related to the national
defense program, but the city heads
did not forget either relatively minor
details or major municipal needs of
the future.
AS examples, funds are sought for
purchase of a modern fireboat, and
the old heat and power plant in the
District Building is to be abandoned
and these services purchased from
outside sources. Annual savings are
anticipated from both proposals.
Some of the major plans call for the
placing of four District welfare in
stitutionS on single suburban tract,
and for studies of tunnels or bridges
for new crossings for the Anacostia
and Potomac Rivers.
Well over ten million dollars is out
lined for permanent improvements, a
considerable increase over this year.
The Commissioners also proposed
substantial expansion of outlays for
services directly affecting welfare,
schools and health.
Added responsibility was placed on
the Commissioners this year in the
decision of the Budget Bureau to
make general rather than detailed
scrutiny of the District estimates.
For this reason the Commissioners
budgetary proposals take on added
significance. Their program, of
course, still will face official and pub
lie study before Congress makes ap-
propriationS. But the obvious care,
thought and time devoted to prepara-
ton Of the estimates by the Commis-
sioners indicate their desire to
justify the new Budget Bureau policy.

In the continual struggle of a

for new tricks. Unless strong con-
trary evidence is offered, the award
for the neatest turf trick of the year

Asks Answers
By Jay Franklin.

To the Editor of The Star:
Doubtless as part of the great drive
for national unity, Jay Franklin has
begun setting the stage for the grand
whitewash of that savior of the party
of humanity Mayor Edward J. Kelly.
Mr.. Franklin looked all over Chicago and
much to his surprise could find only
words of praise for the Mayor. whose
home and family" are 100 per cent"
Perhaps Mr.. Franklin next will Journey
to Jersey City and discover that Mayor
Frank Hague is actually, in some mis-
understood manner, promoting civil lib
critics there.
But if Mr.. Franklin really had wished
to give fair report on Mr.. Kelly, he
might have given us specific answers to
some of the specific charges made against
the Mayor-charges which relate to his
fitness for public office rather than the
quality of his family and religious life,
which doubtless are admirable.
I hope you will continue your policy
of admitting liberal writer's to your COL
umns. In fact I wish you would put a
real liberals column in the place of Jay
Franklin's party-line apologies for the
New Deals vested interests.
