A Timely Survey

The report Just called for by the
Senate on the amount of tax-exempt
property in Washington will be of
special value at this time, when
new Congress is convening.
In both houses a substantial num-
ber of members are taking office for
their first terms. In addition to be-
coming national lawmakers, they are
taking on the task of local legislators
for the District of Columbia. And
they will find that foremost among
these local problems is the question
e of how much the Federal Govern
ment should pay annually toward
the expenses of this city, which 1t
controls and develops on scale be-
fitting the Capital of great Nation.
There are many sound reasons
why this Federal share of the cost
should be liberal, but the most appar-
ent and definitely ascertainable fac
tor is the large amount of land re-
ouired for Government buildings and
other national purposes. 1t is con-
stantly increasing, leaving steadily
shrinking taxable area to bear the
burden of producing the local tax
revenue. 1t is pertinent to remember,
also, that the property tax furnishes
the bulk of the local tax yield.
This tax exemption report will be
enlightening to these new members
of Congress, approaching the ques-
ton of fiscal relations between the
Nation and the local community for
the first time. Even to veterans on
Capitol Hill it will be useful by bring
ing up to date the facts on this i'm
portant phase of the problem.
Although the Senate resolution
asks for a listing Of all tax-exempt
property, it specifies that Federal
holdings be shown separately. The
motion that resulted in passage of
the resolution was one of the last
official acts of Chairman King of the
District Committee, who will termi-
nate on January a long and useful
career in the Senate, in which he
never spared himself in working on
District problems in addition to his
duties on committees of national i'm
portance.
Senator Capper, ranking minority
member of the District Committee,
also indorSed the survey, and pre-
dicated it would strengthen the Dis
trict's claim to a more equitable
Federal payment.

Watch Doriot!

The mental fog which has hung
over Vichy ever since Laval's dis
misSal gets more and more dense.
Through the murk are glimpsed hec-
tic comings and goings of high per-
Sonalities, and one may sense that
important decisions are in the max
ing, but just what is up remains
mystery. Press dispatches from out
side France seem to be mostly Sensa-
tional rumor or obvious propaganda.
This especially applies to accounts
purporting to reveal an impending
flight of Marshal Petain and his yov-
ernment to North Africa by airplane.
Such stories should be discounted
until they are confirmed, because cool
analysis yields scant reason why
Hitler, at this moment, should drive
the aged marshal and his regime
practically into the arms Of Britain.
The record proves that the top flight
Nazis are no fools. If, therefore,
they throw out the present Vichy
government and either install pup
pet like Laval or occupy the whole
Of France with German troops, it will
be because of some factor which at
present is not evident.
What is now occurring probably
boils down to stiff game of diplo-
matte poker between Hitler and Pc
tain. For all his years, the aged
marshal has proved himself to be a
man OF stamina. His courage and
patriotism are genuine, and he holds
some good cards-notably the French
fleet and two professional armies, in
North Africa and Syria, all out of
Hitler's grasp. Petain wants to re-
build France on authoritarian lines.
He has no faith in slippery politicians
like Laval, but he could do business
with leaders, however stern, who
are sincere and share his basic point
Of view. And the latest Vichy dis
patches casually mention the first
appearance there of leader of that
sort. His name Is Jacques Doriot.
Doriot is about the nearest thing
to a Gallo version of Adolf Hitler
that France could produce. This big,
powerful man. in his early forties,
started out as an ardent Communist,
but presently soured on his ideal
when he found out what Soviet Rus
sia was like. With boundless energy
and knowing every demagogic trick,
he has built up political group Of
his own, called the French Popular
party, as tough and Jealous as the
Nazis were in their early days. In
times of general disorganization, even
small groups who know just what
they want and how to get 1t, may
accomplish things quite out of pro-
portion to their numbers. Thus far,
Doriot has kept discreetly in the
background, letting the situation
ripen. But now he has gone to
Vichy and conferred with Petain.
That conference will bear watching.
1t may be the key to what Is going
on behind the scenes.

More Work?

The newly organized Puerto Rican
Federation Of Labor adopted as its
main plank the elimination of all
machines which displace human
labor, and are especially peeved
against that monstrosity, the steam
shovel. In their eyes 1t is no lnStru-
ment Of progress-it Is a demon
which snorts and puffs in horrid
glee as it snaps viciously and bites
of enough pay dirt in an hour to
keep dozens Of manual laborers going
for a day. The federation wants
some modern st. George to slay 1t
and restore the hand shovel.
But is not the man-size shovel in
itself a lesser demon? Think how
much more work could be provided
if this farsighted union would ban
any shovel larger than a chili's toy
spade? Or why not 60 even further,
and reach an all-time high in ex-
tended employment by specifying
that teaspoons be used? All that
would then be necessary would be
to find a few multimillionaire en-
ployers willing to build homes for
their still unborn great-grandchil-
dren, and the entire Puerto Rican
excavation labor problem would be
solved It is thought, however, that
there would be much protest on the
part of all the loafers who now hang
around watching steam shovels oper-
ate, and that they might form .
Kibitzers' Union to prevent their
favorite spectacle from perishing.

flecting a wider spread Of q growing
national income. For another thing,
the expected increase presages a
lowered distribution of Government
farm-benef1t funds.
The Secretary offered some sound
advice in urging the farmers to in
crease the country's supply of pigs.
He seemed to fear that the farmers
might seek to restrict the number
in order to push the price even
higher, and urged them, instead, to
seek greater profits in volume sales.
So. if his advice is followed, the price
will not be excessively high and there
will be pork enough to 60 around.
Only at first glance does this advice
ring strange in the ears of those who
remember the pig-killings of 1898,
done to decrease the pig supply.
The pig-killing was a remedy for
one problem; the appeal for more
and more pigs at this time Is offered
as remedy for another.
The hog farmer, who is the back
bone of the agricultural Middle West
and who furnishes the American
table with its most commonly used
meat, still is on the rim of the ma
tional economic picture. The good
times which came with 1910 sent the
income index of industrial workers
up toward 100. The cattlemen had
a fine year. But the hog farmer still
gets less than he got in 1887, almost
as little as he got in the drab year
of 1881. So there is yet no occasion
to decry the high price of pork and
picnic ham.

domestic issues. and also would disrupt
our entire social and economic order,
and, with our present and prospective
public debt and the resulting increase

Objects to propaganda"
In England's Behalf.

To the Editor of The Star:
The F. B. I. nicely takes care of the
Nazi and Communist propagandists In
our country. But who is looking after
the English propagandists VINO are trying
to lure us into jeopardizing our own in
terests by doing things for Britain which
we very decidedly should not do? All
this talk about lending Britain more
money, when she didn't have the honesty
to pay us five billion she already owes
us, is disgusting Were we at war with
Germany, and England at peace, do you
think she would break her neck helping
us? Not if I read history correctly.
Britain has some fine qualities, but she
is selfish, exploiting and arrogant en-
pire She got and held most of her
possessions by conquest.
Britain rose from the Versailles con-
ference table richer in land to the tune
Of hundreds of thousands of square miles
We rose with empty pockets But, of
course, by no means all the propa-
ganda with which we are daily con-
fronted emanates from England. Much
of it proceeds from English Americans
who brazenly wish to drag us into war.
Suppose all the other races represented
in this country's polyglot population
wanted America to fight every time their
respective ancestral lands happened to
be in trouble. There are millions of us
in this country who happen not to be
in love with the ancestral land of the
English American hyphenates.

Labor Board Report

Winding up seventeen-month in
vestigation of the National Labor
Relations Board, the Smith commit
tee calls for house cleaning based
on testimony which showed
definite tendency throughout the
board to set up Wagner Act enforce
ment standards that took no cog
nizance of the equities of Individual
cases but turned principally on the
likes or dislikes of those administer
ing the law.
''The committee, on the basis of
the evidence and testimony before
1t, reached the conclusion that the
board has been biased in its conduct,
its decisions and its interpretations
Of the law" says the final report
signed by three of the five members
Chairman Smith and two Repub-
leans Representatives Routzohn and
Halleck Likewise, it has been
grossly partisan in its attitude to-
ward certain labor unions, and most
deplorably biased in its relations to
employers and employees. The COM
mittee has found overwhelming proof
that radical tendencies and the en-
tire absence of judicial temperament
of board members and personnel are
fundamentally responsible for the
grave and subStantiated accusations
of prejudice and favoritisn1 leveled
at the board AS between the two
great competing labor organizations,
pronounced proc. l. o. sympathies
have been ever present in the boards
policies and decisions"
Rejecting an intolerable situation,
these accusations, in substance, have
been made previously by this group,
which a few months ago won House
approval Of a bill to revamp the
Labor Board, only to have 1t die in
the Senate, and they gain additional
strength in the light of President
Roosevelt's refusal to retain two of
the original members on the board
when their terms expired. The re-
port comments approvingly on the
improvement worked by the appoint
men of Doctor William NJ. Leiserson,
who only recently was joined on the
board by Chairman Harry A. Mills,
whose appointment also is praised.
One of the principal reasons the
committee advances for the 'shake-up
is the reputed radicalism of certain
board aides, who with Edwin s.
Smith, the other board member,
come in for sharp attack. This par
ticular question, along with other
aspects of the fitness of individual

Bidding us ever welcome there

The little perplexities of bird feeding,
such as squirrels, pigeons, English SPAR
rows, starlings, and so on, all may be
met by one procedure
Putting up more feeding stations and
putting out more food
So many kind-hearted persons fuss
and fume over the invasion of the yard
by squirrels when they are trying to
feed the birds alone.
They spend a great deal of time at
tempting to devise means whereby the
festive rodents with the big tails may
be prevented from feeding with the
song birds.
AS if the birds didn't like it!
Every one who has watched a busy
bird feeding station in action knows
that the squirrels never harm the birds,
and that the latter do not mind the
four legged animals in the least
1t is mainly a waste of time and
energy. as many persons can testify, to
attempt to keep squirrels away. They
are hungry, too, and cannot be blamed
in the least for eating sun1ower seed.
They will come to any feeding station,
even those on the second floor or a
window.

small station at a second-story window.
He has not succeeded yet.
That animal has outwitted him on
every occasion, and probably will keep
on doing so, for squirrels are smart.
HH+ =
There is new type of station on the
market which may outwit the squirrels.
We are going to get one, just to see If
our eight tail-wavers cannot outwit it.
1t consists of large pan on post,
with a metal roof over it.
squirrel leaps.
When he does so, his weight acting
on a spring pulls the canopy down over
the bowl of seed, closing it up tightly
against him.
The birds, in the meantime, have
escaped, or at least we hope they have.
If any Of them got caught in the bowl,
they would have to remain until the
squirrel hoped off.
Our belief is that good average
squirrel could solve this feeder by catch
ing the rim of the feed bowl with his
forepaws and swinging his hind legs
free, thus releasing the spring, where
upon the canopy would go up.
The real solution Of the squirrel prob
lem and many others is to put out so
much food in winter that no creature
will bother any other.
More feeders and more feed
This Is the true solution.
Instead of growing red in the face
over starIings. as some persons do, the
best thing is to put out tray Of stale
bread at some other point in the yard.
This draws starlings every time There
is nothing they like better than bread.
Just where in the course of time they
evolved this taste we do not know They
do not particularly care for seeds used
in bird mixtures, although they will eat
some of it, when hard pressed.
Squirrels may be kept away from small
feeders where the birds congregate by
the simple eXpedient of establishing a
feeding table for them at distant point.
On this should be placed some sunf1ower
seed and plenty of peanuts.
None of these expedientS will keep the
rodents from making forays, from time
to time, in the direction of the bird
feeding stations. But the careful OBJ
server will see that the birds merely scat
ter, and Immediately come back. They
know that the squirrel will not harm
them. 1t is just his way of having sport.
Try putting out more mixed grain and
seed under shrubbery.
Many species Of birds like to feed
from the ground best. If several points
such as this are found around the gar
den, the consumers will be scattered,
and there is less chance of trouble of
any kind AS matter of fact, there is
very little trouble after all; the crea-
lures eat amicably enough, if there is
enough food; most of the perplexity
comes in the human mind, where wars
originate. In society and politics. as
well as in the garden, something must
be done first in the human mind

employees, undoubtedly will receive
full consideration.
Some personnel changes already
have been made in the board, and
the painstaking record compiled by
the committee demonstrates that
others are called for. It is not i'm
probable, however, that the reconsti-
tuted board, given a free hand, will
make the necessary changes, for 1t is
more than likely that the manner in
which The labor law is administered
under the new regime will bear i'm
portantly on further agitation for
amendment.
