If necessary.
If by sporadic military operations
along Rumanla's northern border
Russia can bring about the downfall
of the Bucharest government, and
create internal chaos within Ru-
mania, the Soviet will have an excuse
for direct intervention in Rumania,
which would bring axis-supported
Hungary face to face with a Russia
intrenched in Rumania. That could
be expected to precipitate clash be-

ity is debatable the question of whether
one should pay his taxes is also debat-
able. Say that you are a conscientious
objector; that you reserve the right to
volunteer to pay your taxes when
you feel like it; protest that your wealth
is being "conscripted' d'-and try to de-
bate that with your Uncle SAM
"Conscription," of course, is the wrong
word in any case. Compulsory service
is the wrong term. Why should we
speak OF c0nSCripti0n or COmpulSion
with reference to persons born to the
obligation as well as the privilege Of
American citizenship? We may not need

me OF vital Importance that we all
understand fully that each of us is at

Army. What we need is better teach
ing of American law and tradition, so
that it will be unthinkable that a boy
should grow up here with the fatuous
idea that he can take it or leave it when
his country requires his services. Now

Senator McNory Accepts

senator McNaryS address IN &C
ceptance of the Republican vice pres
idential nomination was couched in
terms which may be expected to
appeal to the farmers, the conserva-
tionists and the public power advo-
Gates of the West and Middle West.
He announced himself as still op-
posed to the theory of the admins
trations reciprocal trade program,
which, in principle, has been ap-
proved by his running mate, Wendell
Willkie. At the moment the trade
agreements dispute is dead issue;
nor is there any probability of its
revival while totalitarianism is on
the march. But that does not de-
tract from the fact that relatively
free exchange of goods is the one
alternative to general adoption of
the trade practices inaugurated by
Nazi Germany-a system which is
incompatible with democratic con-
cepts.
Senator McNary reiterates his faith
in the two-price plan, a system under
which American products would
command high prices at home and
low prices abroad. the difference
being offset in whole or in part by
subsidies to domestic producers.
That system is clearly advantageous
to foreign buyers of American goods.
but 1t has been viewed with skep-
ticism by the taxpayers of the United
States, who would have to foot the
bill.
That section of Senator McNarys
address which dealt with the public
power question can only be inter-
preted as an Endorsement of the
philosophy underlying the Tennessee
Valley experiment. Since he advo-
Gates the purchase at a fair price of
private utilities threatened with ruin
by public power competition, it can
not be said that he Is openly at odds
with Mr.. Willkie, but there will be
few to contend that the Republican
nominees see eye to eye on this
question.
On the larger issues of the day
the many questions bearing on this
country's relation to the revolution
ary forces abroad in the world
Senator McNary spoke only in the
broadest generalities. That field,
presumably. is to be left to Mr..
Willkie, with the vice presidential
candidate concentrating his energies
on an appeal to what he believes to
be the political and economic philos-
ophy of the descendants of the men
and women who moved westward
along the Oregon Trail.

place in medicine, in industry, In
government, In education. 1t has
been less obvious that equally funda-
mental changes have occurred in
military science. The introduction Of
some OF these by the Germans has
left the world dumbfounded. What
have other nations been about all
this time? This is a natural ques-
ton for the public, whose lives and
property are threatened, to ask.
1t can be answered. So far as the
United States Army Is concerned,
the advances have been at least as
far-reaching as those in Central
Europe. The American professional
soldier has missed no tricks. He
smiles at the mention Of secret
weapons and new methods of war
fare. He has kept abreast of every
development.
But this is not Nation whose
primary purpose in life is war. 1t
has been impossible to incorporate
the innovations into every phase OF
national life, to mold a plastic
America around the contours of new
ways of destruction and defense. The
best that could be done, in accord
with the American tradition, was to
provide nucleus which could be
expanded in case of necessity. This
the Army has done. The American
people have not wanted it to do more.
The advances-as we'll as the lin
tied manner Of their application
are we'll illustrated in the National
Guard nlaneuverS now In progress
along the Canadian border, where
tradition smashing has had a role
at least equally important with
training.
More and more, the National
Guard officers are finding, military
science is field for specialists,
hardly to be mastered as a sec
ondary vocation.

Even the most ardent friend Of bird

Even the most ardent friend OF bird
life could not call the cry of the nut
hatch really melodious, but on a summer
morning 1t has certain very appealing
qualities.
There is a bounce to that "yank, yank,
yank" as it comes sailing in from a
block away which quite wins the heart.
1t is one of the most curious of all
bird calls
The popular song, '"The Little Red
Fox" with its refrain, ma, ma, ma, you
can't catch me-" gives something Of the
quality.
1t might be little fox there, singing
his defiance, but really it is just a
small bird with gray-blue and black
and a good deal Of white.
He is fat bird, much more chubby in
reality than you might imagine, just
seeing him fly by. But IL you catch
him head on. as he comes head down
2 tree, you will see how broad of beam
he is.
There were two of them in tree about
block away, that very wet morning;
they were calling Justify to each other.
1t is curious sound, with a nasal
quality which is often represented by
the syllable 'yank" Some bird books
give the sound as trump" but that
lacks the nasal tone which distin-
cuisines 1t.
1t is better put In print as "yank" or
"n'ya."
1t is almost precisely the sound made
by the cute girl singer of the song about
the fox.
That morning the birds were calling
persistently. Maybe it was the wet
weather which stirred their enthusiasm.
Birds like wet weather. They do not
mind showers in the least. Nature fitted
them to stand even thunderstorms.
The carrying quality of certain bird
songs is well known, and this "yank,
yank, yank" of the white-breasted nut
hatch is good sample
Although the birds were fully a block
away, to the north, and evidently quite
high in some tall trees there the per-
sistent calls sounded as if they were
in the next yard.
No doubt the atmosphere had some
thing to do with it. Suburban residents
who ordinarily cannot hear railroad
trains, often discover that the engines
sound as if they were in the next block
in wet weather.
Indeed when the choo-choos are heard,
it is easy to predict rain. They are a
sort of weather prophet.
Not all bird songs, however, carry
farther in wet weather.
Two do. These are the cries of the
blue jay and the nuthatch. We have
but one jay in this vicinity, and but one
nuthatch.
Last winter this column carried a re-
port from a reader of the discovery in
his yard of red-breaSted nuthatch.

Immediate Declaration
OF War Urged.

To the Editor Of The Star:
The present dilemma Of Great Britain
IS the direct result of stupid French
politicians and the French general staff.
While Germany was attacking Poland,
France and the small nations of North
Europe should have forgotten their indi-
vidual nationalism. They should have
recognized that united they stood
divided they fell-and attacked Germany
simultaneously. The war would have
been over and Hitler overthrown in
few months.
This lesson should be engraved on the
American mind. We should declare
war on Germany Immediately and send
destroyers for convoy service to Britain
and the largest air force we can muster
to smash Germany and Italy.
The result is obvious. The American
republics will unite and freeze out all
aid to Germany in morally supporting
the United States.
If Britain and the British Navy are
saved. the United States will not have
to worry about Japan or the immediate
need Of two-ocean navy.

Jittery Balkans

The exact extent of the clashes
between Rumania and her neighbors.
Hungary and Soviet Russia, is uncer-
tain, but they testify to the basic
instability of the Balkans at this
critical moment in Rumanian- Hun
garian negotiations over Transylva-
mia and to the jittery state of nerves
in that quarter of Europe.
In the absence of detailed infor-
nation from Bucharest or Moscow on
the border fighting, in which more
than three hundred Rumanian SOL
diers are said to have been killed, 1t
is impossible to determine whether
Russia has initiated another series
of provocative incidents along her
newly drawn Rumanian frontier for
the purpose of starting deeper pen
etration into Southeastern Europe.
But it is clear that dynamic forces
are gathering in the Balkans, a clash
of which could easily plunge that
region into the war which Fuehrer
Hitler has striven so desperately to
stave off and which Dictator Stain
might welcome as a new opportunity
to extend Russia's frontiers.
Whether the clashes between Ru-
manians and Russians were planned
at the Kremlin or are spontaneous
outbreaks. they have brought Ger
many and Italy to the point of def
mite and decisive action, which they
have hitherto avoided in the hope
that the Balkan states would COM
pose their differences alone
The critical point in the Balkans is
at Bucharest, where opposition to
King Carols new totalitarian party,
and to a proposed territorial cession
to Hungary. conflicts with German
