Comments on Teachings
OF Bertrand Russell,

40 lhe Eoltor OF The Star.
Defenders of Bertrand Russell who
say there is no evidence to show that
Russells teaching has corrupted his
pupils, should know that, from the
nature of the case, it would be impossible
to obtain such evidence teacher may
exercise bad influence upon his pupils
by making covert illusions (Which intel
lgent youths are quick to apprehend)
and by yelling perverse teachings with
laugh or joke without disturbing the
decorum of the class, or exposing himself
to the criticism of his pupils
1t is stupid to say that Russell has
been hired to teach mathematics, and,
therefore, would not advocate his moral
doctrines in the classroom When a man
OF intelligence and learning becomes
interested in religion and moral philos-
ophy and employees his gifts (as Russell
has done} in writing upon these subjects,
his other interests, whether they be
mathematics, medicine, engineering or
what not, become subordinated in his
mind to these primary interests of
religion and morality. Every man recog-
nizes, consciously or unconsciously, that
religion and morality are the most
important interests of man, and the
glamour of these subjects and the his
torical greatness of the men who have
been pre-eminent in treating of them,
induce any man who has gift for the
investigation Of these branches of knovl-
edge to plume himself more upon the
study and treatment of these subjects
than upon all other subjects in which he
Is interested.
In one way or another, Russell would
unquestionably inculcate his doctrines
upon his pupils. CHARLES HOOPER,
San Francisco.

D. c. Appropriations

The Board OF Trade has made q
valuable contribution to the Senate
hearings on the 1941 District appro-
priation bill by stressing the fact
that essential items may be added
to the House total, and still avoid an
unbalanced budget, by utilizing the
authority Congress has given the
Commissioners to apply to the Treas
ury for temporary advances in an
ticipation of tax collections during
the next two years.
1t also is gratifying to find Chair
man Overton of the Senate Subcom-
mittee indicating that he looks with
favor on~such course Of action. In
drafting the bill originally the House
subcommittee no doubt was actuated
by sincere motives in reducing many
budget estimates for maintenance
to avoid a possible deficit. But, as
the Board of Trade suggests, it ap-
parently was proceeding on the the
ory that only the tax money actually
collected within the fiscal year may
be considered
While it is true that splitting the
income tax into two payments will
defer a substantial part of this reve-
nue. until several months after the
next fiscal year ends on June 80,
1941, Congress indicated it was aware
of the difficulty this might cause,
because it included the authority to
obtain temporary Treasury advances
In the same act that permitted semi
annual payment of the tax.
Prospects now appear brighter, as
result of the Senate hearings, for
restoration of some of the House cuts,
relieving to some extent the pinch
of inadequate funds for many i'm
portant municipal functions.
Since passing the appropriation
bill the House has refused to enact
either a fairer income tax law or a
sales tax. The Senate, being without
jurisdiction to originate a tax bill,
can do no more than try to soften
here and there the effects of House
reductions in the appropriation bill.
Senator Overton once again has
shown his thorough and sympathetic
understanding of the Districts fiscal
situation by announcing that he is
not in favor of increasing the supply
bill to point that would force the
Commissioners to raise the real
estate tax rate. The Louisiana
Senator recognizes the fact that real
property already bears more than its
share of the tax burden, producing
about fifty eight per cent of the local
revenue yield.
The new Congress, which meets
in January, should go to the root of
the problem by adopting fairer
basis of apportioning the expenses of
the National Capital between the
Federal and District governments.

ONTARIO ROAD.

Uear 6fr:
Can you tell me what kind OF
thrushes one is likely to see In WASH
ington at this season?
ION Sunday, April IA, near the creek
In Rock Greek Park, just above Cali
vert Street Bridge, saw an unfamiliar
bird, which was certainly q thrush.
1T hoped along like robin, was
smaller than a robin and larger than
any sparrow. 1t was certainly not q
robin, q wood thrush, nor q water
thrush.
Il find the following thrushes are
migrant here-Eastern hermit thrush,
olive-backed thrush, gray checked
thrush, Bicknell's thrush. veery, and
willow thrush.
'The bird in question almost certainly
had no eye ring according to my close
observation on that point, which ap-
parently would eliminate the olive
backed thrush.
THE bird looked most like the plate
OF the gray-cheeked thrush in my
Birds Of America although If there was
gray cheek. it eluded me.
"Is it likely that a gray-cheeked
thrush or possibly Bicknell's thrush or
maybe some other one, could have
visited Washington as early as April IA?
If nothing else, bird study has taught
me the valuable quality of close OBJ
servation, which I lacked before find
ing these new friends.
Thank you!
VERY truly yours H. T. D."
Eight thrushes have been identified
In the Washington area.
They are the wood thrush, the most
common; Wilson's thrush, or veery:
the willow thrush the gray checked
thrush; Bicknell's thrush olive backed
thrush; the Northern water thrush, and
Grinnells water thrush.
According to May Thacher Cooke, the
Northern water thrush is common in
migration, often being seen along the
oank of the Potomac, or found in other
low ground. Average date of arrival is
April q, although specimen has been
seen as early as April Is.
Grinnell's water thrush is rarer, hav-
ing been identified here three times.
May II. 1879; May 5, 1885, and August
5, 1886. This is Western bird,
Earliest dates for the others, as given
in the books. is April 13, for the wood
thrush; April O. Wilson's thrush; May 6,
sray-cheeked thrush; April 10, olive
backed thrush. The hermit thrush is
listed as common migrant and rare
winter visitant.
The willow thrush is Western veery,
identified only twice in this area, once
by Ned Hollister, in September, 1920,
and by. H. C. Oberholser in 1922. Both
were seen in the National Geological
Park
The wood thrush is a common sum-
mer resident, whereas the Ahers are
seen only in migration. The gray
checked thrush and Bicknell's thrush
cannot be told apart in the field
The bird. which our correspondent
could not identify, probaly was . fox

Hopes President Roosevelt
Will Be Reelected,

To the Editor Of The Star:
In these trying times, when We are
threatened with "isms," clans and
creeds. all God-fearing people should be
united.
We should thank the Lord for men
like James Farley, a man so big that
the ''rabble rousers" fail to rouse"
envy his good Judgment on the election
results in 1896. hope that Farley backs
the President for third term, but the
voters are the ones to decide whether
or not ne will be elected.
think that We. the 10000 900 voters,
will remember the days when people we're
hungry, roaming all over the United
States and In many cases salvaging some-
thing to eat wherever 1t could be
found.
We of the rank and file should look
to Mr.. Roosevelt and repeat that slogan
Of 1855, Hello. r. D., here we come"

Statements Of DIR. Colin
Draw Comment.

TO the Editor of The Star.
In recent news article in The Star,
DR.. Gerhard Colin, speaking before the
Conference on National Economic Policy
at George Washington University, is
quoted as having made a number of
statements which will not bear close
examination.
For instance, he is quoted as saying
that problems of maturing economy"
caused the overthrow of democratic gov
ernments in Europe; that deficit SPEND
ing can bring about recovery" and that
tax policies should be adopted ito pre-
vent excessive national savings"
DR.. Colin is said to have come from
Germany in 1888, and to be serving as
financial adviser to the Secretary Of
Commerce. It may be no fault of DR..
Colms, but 1t should be noted here that
Germany has not yet solved her own
CSOliOuIhS PAObiCHlS, CNCl1 bllOuSH, bAAdAiho
to the large numbers employed" in her
army SIS and SA organizations, the
Gestapo, and in the manufacture of
arms and munitions and construction of
fortifications, military roads, ETC., she has
no unemployed. And if DR.. Colin has
been correctly quoted above, our own
problems are not going to be solved
with his help.
A maturing economy" did not over
throw democratic governments in Eng
land, France, Belgium, Holland and the
Scandinavian countries. And 1t was not
maturing economy" which destroyed
democratic government in Czecho-Slo-
vakia. That little country was success
fully solving her economic problems, as
well as her social and political problems,
when she was brutally assaulted by a
nation which had shown itself incapable
of self government and which had also
failed to solve her economic problems.
And Czecho-Slovakia was solving her
economic problems by the old and tried
methods of industry and thrift-the only
way they can be solved, and the only way
we in the United States will ever solve
our economic problems and regain pros
perity.
Deficit spending" which, in ordinary
English, means living beyond ones
means, has never yet brought prosperity
to any individual or nation. 1t is only
production, and still more production,
tnat can bring and maintain prosperity.
And only productive investments can in
crease our production and our national
wealth. Capital outlays by governments
are not usually In this class, unless we
adopt state socialism or some form Of
collectivism; and that means an over
throw Of democratic governments.
Deficit spending" is merely camou-
fiaged form of public charity, tempo
rary expedient in an emergency, but 1t
can never yield sound economy. And,
as for excessive national savings" that
is a phrase without meaning. As the
country gentleman said when he saw his
first giraffe, "There amt no such AMI.

Allied Reverses

Although the exact character of
the reverses the allies have suffered
in central Norway is still masked
by the incompleteness Of the reports
from Berlin, London and Stockholm,
1t is apparent that British and
French forces are in danger of losing,
If they have not already lost, the
positions they won by daring feats
OF landing and penetration into the
country.
On the basis of their own claims
the Germans appear to have COM
pleted their drive up the Gudhrands
Valley as far as Dombas, strategic
rail junction which the British occu-
pied early in their entrance into
Norway. Farther up the railway
toward Trondheim, at Storen, the
Germans announce establishment Of
link between their forces advance
ing south from Trondheim and west
ward across the rugged Norwegian
mountains from the Oster Valley.
Some London military sources admit
that Storen has fallen to the
Germans.
If Nazi accomplishments are as
reported, they have won the first
trick"-as was admitted in London
after the fall of Lillehammer-and
1t Is a valuable trick. But it is only
the first trick, fact which should
not be forgotten.
The> Germans have scored a vic
tory, but they have not relieved them
selves OF the allied menace to their
hold on Central and Southern Nor
way. The allies continue to hold
positions both north and south of
Trondheim, at Namsos and Andals-
mes. Their troop landings are now
being protected by anti-aircraft bat
teries, the lack of which in the early
stages of the advance on Trondheim
received such wide publicity. Their
fighter planes are operating either
from land bases or plane carriers off
the coast. German air power in
Central Norway is not now unchal-
lenged.
The Germans have a difficult task
ahead of them in the consolidation
of their hold on the railways along
which their armies have driven. The
troops which reached Dombas and
Storen are only the advance guard.
Now must come that complete and
effective control of the railways
which will permit the Germans to
reinforce their garrison In and near
Trondheim.
Against the establishment of that
control the Germans will find them
selves up against kind of guerrilla
warfare which the Notwegians, IA
miliar with their rocky homeland,
will know how to conduct in league
with their British-French allies.
The German communication lines
are being extended, condition
which the japanese, driving deeply
into China, found not conducive to
effective control of the country be-
yond gun range of the railways.
The battle for Norway still is
unsettled, and when it is finished it
will have been but one phase of the
entire war which the allies and the
Germans are waging. Possession of
Norway would provide either side
with immense strategic advantages,
which should influence, but probably
not determine, the final outcome.
