Surrender to Hysteria
Imputed to Democrats.

To the Editor Of The Star:
AS I listened to the Democratic con-
vention doings out in Chicago, I was
anxious to hear what Mr.. Roosevelt was
going to say about third term and
after it was all over, I decided that we,
who are not Roosevelt worshipers, can
sit back and weigh the situation in the
balance without being swayed by the
hysteria that was demonstrated there
Analyze the demonstration that was put
on at the mere mention of Mr.. Roose-
veft's name at the convention last night
for yourself. Is it rot the very same sort
of thing that has been happening in all
the dictatorial countries in Europe? 1t
has been so all through the Democratic
administration. No matter what Mr..
Roosevelt asks for, it's "Yea, Roosevelt'l
In Germany it's Hell Hitler"! The peo-
pie cannot think soberly or act sensibly
when they are aroused to the point of
hysteria like they were in Chicago.

Balkan Bustion

Several conclusions concerning
Fuehrer Hitlers motives and policies
with respect to Southeastern Europe
can be drawn from current develop
ments in that region, particularly in
his advice to Rumania to settle her
differences by direct negotiation with
Hungary and Bulgaria.
Undoubtedly Hitler sees the specter
of an expanding Russia drawing too
close to Germany's "lebensraum"
and is concerned lest outbreak OF
violence in the Balkans, as the pos
Sible result of continued unsettle-
ment in Rumania's relations with
her neighbors, give Russia a hew
opportunity to push further to-
ward the straits which have lured
Russian statesmen for generations.
Rumania, it now appears, is being
confronted with virtual order from
the Fuehrer to make a final settle
ment with both Hungary in regard
to Pennsylvania and Bulgaria in re-
gard to Dobruja, and German sup
port for the claims of both these
states-although not for all the Hun
garian demand on Transylvania-is
being made clear enough.
The practical result of settlement
of these claims would be the estab-
lishment of basis for solidarity
among Rumania, Hungary and Bull
garia, and perhaps German Italian
guarantee of protection of this terri
tory against Soviet Russia.
Whether Hitler and Mussolini give
such pledge or not, it is certain
that they are going to have to defend
these three states against Russian
encroachment if the master of the
Kremlin-Joseph Stalin-decides to
send his troops further southwark.
Faced with that necessity, it is
natural that Germany and Italy
should seek to unity Southeastern
Europe not only as bastion against
the Soviet, but as an assurance
against trouble between Rumania
and Hungary-or Bulgaria.
The one essential and all-control-
ling fact about German relations
with the Balkans is that this region
is vitally necessary not only to Ger
many's war effort-as a source of
oil, wheat and other raw materials
and foodstuffs-but for Germany's
domestic welfare as we'll. The COM
ing winter is going to be difficult
one for Europe. War in the Balkans
would be ruinous to Germany's econ
omy, and hence the pressure on Ru-
mania to come to terms with Hun
gary and Bulgaria.

Commendation for
The Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
am asking for space on your edi-
torial page because I wish to commend
you for your grand editorials and COL
umns in your paper.
believe it fair and just to give the
readers an opinion on both sides of an
issue, especially a political one.
like your editorials because they are
open minded and explanatory.
like David Lawrence because he gives
us the where and why" of things. For
instance, in one of his columns he gave
the reason that we went to war in 1917
because we were forbidden the freedom
Of the seas, not because we were trying to
help European countries. His article of
July %, Green Light Still Dim on De-
fense," is very enlightening. read
every one of the other writer's and ad-
mire their work equally as much.
also think your paper is due COM
mendation for bringing to light alley
conditions, the fake charitable agencies
and many other grand things your paper
is sponsoring. am proud to have been
a subscriber to your paper for good
many years.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles e. TrdcetCeil.

A bird bath makes wonderful turtle
bath as well.
Almost every yard possesses one of
these odd reptiles, but 1t is not often
that the owner happens to see a turtle
bath in action.
This means bath sunk level with the
ground. If this type Of bath is present
and every yard ought to have at least
one-the turtles of the vicinity will be
sure to come.
We just happened to see our big fell
low take his bath that terribly hot Sum-
day afternoon.
There always have been turtles, or tor
toises but this was the first one we
ever saw take bath.
He appeared in the middle of lawn, in
the way these creatures have of suddenly
showing up
He was about inches in diameter.
Should we call him turtle, terrapin, or
tortoise? The first is applied, in zool-
ogy, to marine species; the second, to a
tortoise living in fresh or brackish water,
and the third, to the class of reptiles.
Turtle, however, is perfectly good
United States" for one of these land
tortoises. All of them are close TO a
water life, in fact: the first time you see
one of them bathe, you will be sure of it.
Our turtle, as We shall call him, found
the wet grass where the hose had been
quite to his every taste.
He plowed across to a point where the
hose made loop. Carefully over it he
went, to take up his position squarely in
the center.
This did not satisfy him for long
His back was dusty, faded looking. We
had an idea of giving him good
sprinkle, but decided against it.
1t was more interesting to see what he
would do. In his own mind, the turtle
had no doubt at all.
He lifted that snakelike, ugly head of
his into the air, carefully waved it on
the long neck, then began his plodding
directly to the small bath.
This bath was perfectly circular, about
II inches in diameter with neat rim,
surrounded by border of stones. 1t
was flanked by violets and there was a
lilac at the rear.
To creature not more than inches
high. this place must have seemed quite
junglelke.
Perhaps it is unnecessary to say that
the turtle approached slowly.
They do go slowly, but make good
speed, everything considered.
He made straight for the bath, which
has been filled with the contents of two
boxes from the 10-cent store. These
boxes held bright colored pebbles. They
had been poured into the bath to bring
tho bottom, or floor, to point not more
than 2 inches below the surface This
had been done for the birds, but the
turtle found it good.

Truth Found Aquin

Words, it seems, are apt to get
lost. Fortunately, however, the best,
the most meaningful of them also
have way of being rediscovered.
A case in point is that of the Kin
dergarten Chats" written by the
celebrated American architect Louis
Henri Sullivan at the close of the
nineteenth century.
These philosophic studies were
printed in 1901. 1t is not too much
to say of them that they were pre-
mature in their appearance. The
people for whom they were intended
could not understand them. Four
decades of experience with wars and
revolutions and the disgenic influ-
ences of continued strife between
nations and classes were required
to educate the citizenry of the
United States to appreciate their
significance. They were for
gotten. Mr.. Sullivan finished his
labors and, in 1924, went to his
rest. He had enjoyed a noteworthy
career. The Chicago Auditorium is
one of his creations, showing his
vision of a civilization which shall
have room for all, be inclusive of
every honorable variation. Largeness
was characteristic of his spirit. It
was no accident that 'he, more than
any other man, helped to make of
the skyscraper Americas greatest
contribution to architecture"
But Mr. Sullivan was equally i'm
pressive as poet working in the
medium of prose. In 1884 Charles
Harris Whitaker eXcavated these
lines from his pen, reproduced now
for reasons sufficiently obvious: "Our
buildings as a whole are an image
of our people as a whole, although
specifically they are the individual
images of those to whom, as a class,
the public has delegated and in
trusted its power to build =.
Every building tells its own story,
and tells it plainly. With what
startling clearness it speaks to the
attentive ear, how palpable its visage
is to the open eye, may take you
some time to perceive. But 1T is all
there, waiting for you, just as every
great truth has waited and waited,
through the centuries for the man
with eyes to see -. For no people
can create except in its own SUBJ
jectiye image. Hence what people
are within, the buildings express
without, and, inversely, what the
buildings are effectively is a sure
index of what the people are SUBJ
jectively."
Mr.. Sullivan-remember, please,
that the time was not later than
lsol-was disturbed by his knowl-
