however. They would fight to pro-
tect America from invasion from any
quarter.
Stupendous sums must be spent to
provide such defenses against the
surging tide of totalitarian war. The
President very wisely acted to pre-
vent one unnecessary drain on Fed
eral funds when he vetoed yesterday
the $110,O0O,O00 rivers and harbors
bill. 1t would be improvident and
dangerous indeed to spend money
now for pork, pensions or patronage
when dollars are vitally needed to
safeguard the future existence of a

Evening star., 1940-05-22

the proposal Is simply another device
to strengthen the third term move-
ment and keep the New Dealers In
Office. In the judgment Of the mi
nority spokesmen there Is nothing in
the international picture today to
justify the sub,nergence Of the Re-
publicans and the adoption of what
they call one-party Government
with Mr.. Roosevelt holding the reins.
1t must be recognized, however,
that this attitude imputes to the
President desire to make domestic
political capital out Of the crisis in
Europe-a crisis which intimately
affects our own welfare-and there
Is no reason to believe that such an
1mputation Is warranted. Mr.. Roose-
velt is no stranger to political strata
gems, but, in The Stars opinion, he
is not man to put his own political
fortunes ahead of the national vel
fare at this crucial time.
According to most versions, the
President has asked Colonel Frank
Knox to take over the Navy Depart
ment II Secretary Edison should
resign to run for Governor of New
Jersey, and has at least considered
offering the post Of Secretary Of War
to Alfred M. Landon, who, inciden-
tally, has said he would decline any
such offer. Should such offers be
made and accepted, however, Mr..
Roosevelt would have In his official
family the Republican standard
bearers during the 1896 campaign,
and their presence In the cabinet,
If supported by other Republicans,
might be expected to silence partisan
attacks during the approaching CAM
paign on the administration foreign
policy and its defense program. In
view OF Mr.. Roosevelt's apprehen-
sions concerning the world outlook,
1t Is certainly reasonable to believe
that he may have had this objective
in mind.
There is no hope for harmony
from a coalition government, how
ever, unless it enjoys full support
from the minority, and since that
support obviously will not be forth
coming the reported plan to form
such a cabinet has met huge OBJ
stacles. This, however, does not
necessarily apply to the possible ap-
pointment of Colonel Knox, whose
qualifications are of a high order.
But this does not mean that the
President should not turn to the
ablest men in the country, regardless
OF their politics, for advice and
assistance in the critical task this
Nation is facing. And it is distinctly
encouraging that Mr.. Roosevelt has
reiterated his intention of doing
Just that.

tempt to make democracy work is an
attempt to change our republican form
Of Government and revert to . form Of
government which Is bound to destroy
itself.
Much Of our confusion OF thought
and lack of national unity arises from
the belief, al too general, that our Con-
stitution set up democracy providing
for direct action through organized
pressure group, impulse and emotion.
Actually our form Of government was
carefully designed to prevent this sort
of thing. !. Il. BlLBREY.

Nuzi Forest Fire

The situation on the battlefields Of
France and Belgium is like that
presented by wind-driven forest
fire, roaring with soaring intensity
through dry timber and reaching far
ahead with crowning tongues OF
flame that start new blazes in many
directions. Fighting such fire with
inadequate equipment is herculean
task. Confusion, disorganization and
Uncomfortable faults" in the fire
fighting are almost inevitable while
the conflagration is at its height.
But forest fires often quit their
advance almost as suddenly as they
get under way. They depend on the
impelling forces behind them. When
the driving energy lags or is expend-
ed the fire fighters have their oppor-
tunity to reorganize their forces and
to counterattack.
So far the mighty German thrust
at Paris and the Channel coast has
shown no appreciable letup. The
"crown fires" Of fast-moving, hard
hitting Nazi motorcycle and mech
anized columns have spread sporad-
ically southwark and westward
toward the Channel with amazing
rapidity. There have been, as Pre-
mier Reynaud yesterday told the
French Senate, confusion, disorgan-
ization and blundering among allied
forces. Any attempt to evaluate the
situation in more than generally
speculative terms would be foolish
at this stage of the holocaust. There
are certain hopeful signs for the
allies in todays censored dispatches
from the front, however. It now
becomes apparent that the advance
to Abbeville, on the Somme estuary,
only few miles from the English
Channel, was tenuous thrust at
best-by motorcycle detachments.
The position of these advance guards
must be precarious, indeed, unless
strong reinforcements follow up the
gains made. Meanwhile, the French
claim to have retaken Arras, some
fifty miles inland from Abbeville.
This would indicate that the French
are far from routed in the Lille
Valenciennes-Arras sector, protecting
the strategic ports of Boulogne and
Calais, and, perhaps, it presages an
effort to cut off the motorized arm
that Hitler's legions have extended
along the Somme almost to the coast.
The leaping flames of the German
blitzkrieg, in other words, may have
overreached themselves. To keep the
flames alive the driving energy of
fuel and munitions, supplies and of
fresh man power must be uninter-
rupted. With that thought in mind,
the Royal Air Force has been bomb
ing with incessant fury the main
supply routes and depots of the
German armies. Successful cutting
off of these driving forces could
quickly change the whole aspect OF
the present dire picture. The next
few days-or hours-may tell the
story.

THIS AND THAT
BY Charles +. Trace,Dell.

Standing with hose In hand In time
comes to strike one as an essentially
silly occupation, only made good by the
fact Of the great good which 1t does.
It does not follow, unfortunately,
that good deed Is never boresome.
To the contrary. goodness often seems
to have = way Of being deadly.
The person ahlicted with this COM
mon spring complaint of excessive
boredom. when confronted with the
necessity for some chore, should see to
it that everything is made as easy -
possible.
It Is the same with moving.
How many persons insist on using
some old machine which has done serv-
ice for 20 long that 1t barely runsl
A great old machine, undoubtedly, but
1t is about ready to break down. While
1t is doing this, though, 1t is creaking
and sticking and in many other ways
protesting against the added service it
must give.
What Is more aggrevating than q
lawn mower which creaks? This is q
test Of nerves perhaps. Some persons
do not seem to mind. Others will find
the persistent creak of none too well
oiled mower gets on their nerves, wheth.
er from close at hand-very-or from
afar.
When It comes to making the duty of
watering the lawn as painless as pos
sible, there can be little doubt that
where most householders fall down is
In failure to keep the hose as q unit.
Mostly they have four or more IS
foot lengths, which ordinarily they do
not even keep hitched up.
Every time the lawn is watered these
separate units must be hauled out of
the garage or cellar, fitted together,
sometimes with fittings which leak, and
then the entire length dragged out into
the yard, after being hitched to q
faucet.
Some old-fashioned persons must con-
meet the hose inside. and permit the re-
mainder of it to dangle out the window.
No wonder some of us fail to show
much enthusiasm for the necessary task
OF watering the lawn.
Hence our grass is yellow or semi
yellow, when 1t ought to be green or
demi-green, shall we say?
A hose reel ought to be about the
finest sort Of appliance, but how many
householders own one?
With this gadget the hose would be
all coiled, ready to go.
Or would It?
We suspect that in most cases It
wouldn't. After you have the reel, you
have to be sure to put the hose on 1t,
all wound up, at the end of every days
watering. And since this terminus
usually comes at dark. there is every
reason for failure to do the right thing
at the right moment, as usual. From
yards to nations, failure to do the right
thing at the right time Is a terrible
thing

Coalition Cabinet

II President Roosevelt has been
hoping to form a coalition" cabi-
net-there has been no public word
from him on the matter-those hopes
must have been abandoned in view
Of the vigorous expressions of oppo-
sition from most Of the influential
Republican leaders.
From the q. O. p. point Of view
Evening star., 1940-05-22
Speedy Response

As almost unbelievable horrors of
Europe's total war continue to chill
the blood of civilized persons-hor-
rors sufficiently confirmed to prompt
a verbal protest by President Roose-
velt-it gives the American people a
considerable measure of reinsurance
to witness the albeit
belated-drive to throw up an emer-
gency bulwark against the threat
ened spread to this hemisphere Of
twentieth century barbarism. In
describing the machine-gunning of
helpless refugees in France, the Pres
ident yesterday expressed confidence
that the implications of this type of
warfare would not be lost on citizens
Of the United States.
That the implications are being
fully realized in Congress is evident.
Even as Mr.. Roosevelt addressed
his. press conference, the machinery
Of legislation was humming. The
House Military Affairs Committee
voted unanimously to discard COM
pletely all limitations on the number
Of Army planes that might be pur-
chased during the next fiscal year.
Under this limit" policy,
II fCongress finally approves, the Army
WILDE restricted as to plane numbers
only by capacity of the aviation
industry's production facilities. In
addition, bills were introduced in the
House and Senate for a great expan-
sion of naval air strength. The pro-
posed legislation calls for a minimum
Of. 10000 naval planes and OF 10000
pilots, to be based at strategic old
and new air stations along the
Atlantic and the Pacific coasts and
in our ocean outposts. Thus, in addi-
ton. to their traditional mission Of
serving as the "eyes of the fleet,
naval planes hereafter would serve
also as eyes of our coastal and insular
deyenses. They would not merely see,
