Top Weight Probably
Too Much for Koyok

The fact is that Kayak, winner OF
the 1889 100000 whirl, has proved
with fair amount of conclusive
evidence that he can't carry top
weight. The Argentine flyer can
move like dark tornado at any,
thing under 12O pounds. But when
they shove more poundage upon
him he loses his speed and his zest
for running.
This theory may not stand up in
the big race. But it has stood up
in his last four starts In which he
had to pack more than his normal
allotment. He has looked we'll be-
low par in his two starts around
here. He ran eighth, far back of
Specify, in his last attempt. And
Specify had been wide-open bust
up to this winning charge.
Seabiscuit no longer is kid. At
the age Of years he has raced
all over the map. He has broken
down time after time. But he al
ways has come back with a great
heart and four flying feet.
Seabiscuit will be remembered as
one OF the great racing competitors
OF all time. He has been good
enough to win something like $780,
Oo0- He was good enough to run
away from War Admiral. With any
racing luck his winnings today
would be well over the $500 900 mark.
But he isn't the old Seabiscuit we
once knew. unless the vital spark
In his system is stronger than any
horse ever carried before. He has
proved himself to be zone of the
great horses. Kayak II hasn't.
Each had definite weakness. Sea-
biscuit hated mud and Kayak is none
too fond of extra weight

when no labor dispute Is in progress
Industry would be well rid of its spies
and so-called industrial munitions y
for they are calculated to breed bad
conditions, but the fact that there is
a strike does not necessarily mean
that the industry is at fault, and the
arbitrary wage restriction might
work injustice.
The trouble that has been stirred
by admitted inequities which the
Labor Relations Act itself has per-
mitted should be a warning to Con-
gress to 60 slow with new reforms.
It is much easier to take calm coun-
sci at the outset and work out a plan
that is fair to all parties concerned,
and therefore has reasonable
chance for success, than to impose
rigid curbs and then attempt later
to bring about improvement when
controversy has complicated the situ-
alton.

industrial Espionage

The La Toilette Thomas bill to
outlaw industrial espionage and the
other anti-labor practices that this
implies is due to come up in the Sem
ate this week; and the measure Is
one calling for careful study.
Aimed to correct conditions barred
in the lengthy Senate civil liberties
inquiry, the bill unfortunately i'm
poses structures that would tend to
weight it too heavily against en-
ployers.
To cite one example, it would pre-
vent an employer from inquiring into
the political or economic views or
activities" not only of employees, but
of prospective employees, unless they
consent-a prohibition that might be
thoroughly unreasonable under GER
tain circumstances. For instance,
it hardly could be argued that
workers in a vital war industry
should not be subject to the
most painstaking scrutiny, and there
might be other instances also where
1t would be desirable to know the
background of an individual. Fur
ther, the restriction does not seem
necessary to prevent workers from
being victims of anti-union bias, for
that safeguard is provided by the
Labor Relations Act.
Other provisions would limit the
wage of strikebreakers to the rate
paid the strikers they replace, and
prohibit employment OF the profess
sionai plant guard and the possess
sion OF gas>and machine guns even

Seo-Going Libraries

Sailors, coast guardsmen and
lighthouse keepers, all these are
readers. 1t is tradition of the sea
that those who follow its trackless
course shall be devoted to the printed
page. Some of the very greatest of
literary men have been salts of one
sort or another. Richard Hakluyt,
perhaps, wrote not of his own trav-
els" Yet his famous Voyages" never
could have been compiled had his
captains been unlettered souls. Their
logs, their diaries were gold mines
for his digging; and the treasure
was inexhaustible. So, too, are the
resources of Captain James Cook,
Sir John Franklin, Richard Henry
Dana, Herman Melville, w. Clark
Russell, Robert Louis Stevenson,
Jack London, Joseph Conrad, Pierre
Lott, Richard Halliburton, H. M.
Tomlinson and their contemporaries.
Even landlubbers glory in pages
which smell of brine and tar, pas
sages from which flying fish may
leap to catch the sun.
The American Merchant Marine
Library Association, with headquar-
ters at As Broadway, New York City,
again is asking for books and maga-
zines to be distributed among the
crews of many ships. Friends who
wish to help are requested to leave
their contributions, carefully wrapped
to prevent loss and damage, in the
care of the several branches of the
Washington Public Library. The
appeal needs no apology. Its pur-
pose is too attractive to require
tedious exposition. The privilege of
sharing in the work is one which
every person who cares about the
ocean and its wayfarers, their COM
fort and happiness, should be proud
to accept. \

sentia1 supply that stabilizes and sus-
ta!ns him under any and all conditions?
The reservoir has not been impaired,
nor is 1t incapable of furnishing that
which man needs all through the pill
griinage Of his life. How trite seems the
poets phrase:
Gods in His heaven, Ais right with
the world"
How in days of ease we assume with
little of reverence its reassuring impli-
cations. The latter half of this poetic
phrase has lost its significance, all is not
we'll with the world. Malevolent forces
have thrust upon unoffending peoples
dire misfortune and misery. We Of
America are grateful that we are i'm
mune to these evil forces. We still pur-
sue our daily habit free and undisturbed.
We speak of our security, our power, our
sequestered and isolated position. We
would make this position more secure
against what may be impending. Have
we made secure the conduit Of the upper
pool; have We free and unremitting ac-
cess to those streams of power and en-
ergy that proceed from our conscious and
unbroken relation with God? Is this
only figment Of the imagination, or is
1t reality? Are the evidences Of our
trust in God conspicuous in our life?
Do we compute our wealth and our
power in terms Of what we have Of ma
terial things, or is there beneath all this
show of strength and genius a deep
seated sense of our dependence upon
God? Forces have been unleashed in
our modern world that must make us
sober and reflective. We do not believe
that history discloses that God is on the
side Of the heaviest battalions." We do
not believe and we dare not, that might
is the supreme force in the life Of men
and Of nations. God with US" has too
frequently been the slogan OF impious
and goddess peoples. If God is to be to
us what we have long professed Him to
be, we must keep open the channels of
communication with Him. We must re-
turn to the house of our fathers, we
must change the course we have pursued
of neglecting the one essential reservoir
Of power. America must return to the
wholesome ways of a reverent religious
profession and practice.

Uranium 235

A closed meeting in a George
Washington University classroom one
dreary winter afternoon a little more
than a year ago may have been one
of the turning points in human his
tory. This was fully appreciated by
every man present. The group in
cluded some of the most brilliant
minds in the world. Three or four Of
them were Nobel Prize winners. The
circumstances, reported in some de-
tail by The Star the next afternoon,
were intensely dramatic. For the
first time, it appeared, it was possible
to tap atomic energy, the incompre-
hensibly terrific force which holds
creation together. Within twenty
four hours two of the men had &C
complished the miracle. One of them
was Dr. Merle A. Tuve of the ter
restrial magnetism laboratory of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington.
They had split the nuclei of uranium
atoms approximately. in halves. In
doing so they had produced energies
in the neighborhood Of two hundred
million volts.
This, in itself, had little practical
significance But the vistas it opened
dwarfed the imagination. Progress
was rapid during the spring and
summer. 1t developed that the split
ting atoms were not the ordinary
form Of uranium but an isotope
which at the time was supposed to
be present in a ratio of about one
thousand to one. The problem be-
came that of extracting this isotope
in sufficient quantities to set up a
chain reaction in which the explo-
sion of one atom would set of its
neighbors. At a meeting of the
American Physical Society here some
weeks ago it was announced that it
had been possible to obtain as much
as milligram of the rare unranium
"a speck barely big enough to be
seen with the naked eye-in pure
form. A pound of it would be ap-
proximately equivalent in energy
producing potentially to twenty-five
thousand tons of coal, or fifteen
thousand tons of gasoline.
Obviously any progress toward
separating the isotope in consider
able quantities might be considered
today military secret of> the first
magnitude. It is to be expected that
physicists of all the countries now at
war have been devoting a good deal
of attention to the problem.
Frankly, from the information
generally available to American
physicists at present, the prospects
are none too brighton too dark
considering the purposes for which
the uranium isotope would be used
in the world today. The New York
Times has reported, however, that
there are excellent prospects of a
much larger separation of the ex-
ploding uranium-the exact details Of
which will be revealed only to the
War Department. The Times also Is
in possession of information that
Chancellor Hitler has ordered many
of the foremost physicists and chem
lists of Germany to devote their ex-
elusive attention to solving the prob
lem. 1t is fervently to be hoped that
they will be wasting their time. It
must be recognized, however, that
they may succeed. If they do sue
ceed, and the rest of the world does
not, the potentialities are unthink-
able.

A NEGLECTED RESERVOIR
BY the Right Rev James E. Freeman D. D. ILL., d. D. c. L.
Bishop OF Washington.

In an ancient book an incident Is re-
lated that suggests a method not infre-
quently used in war. An enemy had laid
siege to city and as the narrative runs
1t tells of strategy that was more
effective than weight of arms. An at
tack was made upon the water supply
OF the beleaguered city, and 1t is thus
described: ''They came and stood by the
conduit Of the upper pool" To suspend
the water supply meant inevitable de-
feat Of the resisting city and the ulti-
mate surrender of its army. The care
less defense Of that which was indis-
pensable could have but one issue-de-
feat. Man cannot survive without his
water supply. He may be possessed of
wealth, power and other resources, but
these prove inadequate in the day Of
supreme testing.
The incident related has pertinence in
the light of world events. We have
grown In SO many ways, our self conf
dence is so evident, the accessories Of
life are so multiform and appealing, we
are SO strong in man power and genius
that we have become careless and ne
glectful of certain elemental and essen
tial things that, like the reservoirs that
supply us daily and fully with water, we
have ceased to give them large consid-
GRAFTON. Because they are far removed
and out of sight, we treat them as COM
monplaces. Let an accident befall them,
let an enemy suspend their free flow,
and whole population is imperiled. The
mighty reservoir that in our better hours
we recognize as the God and Father of
us all, is SO evident an essential part of
our life, that we place upon our coins
the legend: "In God We Trust" In
many other ways we tacitly acknowledge
our dependence upon God. In times of
distress and emergency we find ourselves
moved to think Of Him as more inti-
mately related to our life than He is in
days Of easy living.
Such a world crisis as the one that is
upon us today, prompts the query, have
we permitted ourselves and selfish con-
Germs to make us Indifferent to our
spiritual needs, careless of the conduit
OF the upper pool" which in simple terms
is mans chief source of supply, the es-

There are vital British, French and
Dutch interests in the Far East that to-
day are relatively unprotected. There
also are vital American interests in that
area, including the Philippines-which
must be defended until 1946-and sup
plies Of rubber and tin that are regarded
as essential. Japan is watching for
nothing more than favorable oppor-
tunity to let her navy demonstrate its
ability to do more for the empire than
the army has been able to do in China.
The defense problem that the United
States faces in the Pacific is immense.
Areas to be defended are 5000 miles
away from this continent. In those areas
are Japanese naval and air bases that
screen the Dutch and British possessions.
The region OF danger is much nearer to
Japanese mainland than to the United
States. Any American fleet action would
be In the face Of shore-based Japanese
aircraft. But SO long as the American
Navy is out in the Pacific, ready to
strike, Japan must be wary That Navy
is far better prepared than the Amer
ican Army.
To undertake any operation in Europe
that would require shifting the fleet
or any important part of the fleet-to
the Atlantic would only be signal for
the japanese to get going. Neither the
allies nor this country wants any action
to be taken that would jeopardtze those
Pacific holdings.
The result is that, If there Is going to
be trouble for this country. 1t is more
likely to come in the Pacific than In the
Atlantic.

States, it is out of all proportion to the
gain In exports not only to belligerents
but to neutrals. The American export
surplus is at its record figure. That
means that, on balance of trade, for
eigners owe Americans big excess over
what Americans owe foreigners.
A large amount of the exports has
been made up of supplies of direct or
indirect use In war. The exports Of
airplanes and automotive products have
been fabulous. Machinery and semi
manufactured goods play large part.
These are all goods which are largely
destroyed with their use. Now a highly
important fact to consider is that, at the
close Of the war, what has become an
important market will almost utterly
collapse.
An interesting change in trade trends
resulting from this war has been the
heavy gains In sales to Latin America.
The United States now has almost all the
trade that Germany had built up there
so painstakingly. Special stress now is
being laid on the Latin American trade.
But those countries must have something
to pay for what they import from us. In
the past they have sold Importantly to
Europe, but, without credit, Europe will
be unable to buy, SO depression to the
southwark would follow.
In consequence, it is increasingly felt
that large loans should be made abroad
as the only presently visible means Of
keeping our customers alive. What stimu-
lates this belief in the necessity to re-
adopt policy of lending abroad Is .
fear that unless there be such trans
fusion of new blood into the commercial
veins of the world. something close to
chaos will follow.
