Winter Rue

This is the morning you leave and the
sky is gray,
Filtering snow through the boushs OF
the poplar trees,
Blurring their upright stance, their
traceries,
Muf1ing their sigh on the lonely hill.
Ice-carven, still. .E..
This is the deep Of winter
Known in the heart by bell
Winter wherein the russell leaf
Has spent its grief,
And duly clings to the altered bough,
Snow-ridged and songless now.
So take sprig of winter rue
Upon this wordless day,
And then 60 softly. Do not turn b..,
Or glance my way.

are also we'll inclined to us other
strangers within the gates" Back in
1917 Cor 1919, at the Willard, the Gale
domains had banquet Said a speaker
Tin substance: This country owes
practically everything to the English,
the Scotch-and also to the Germans. "
Naturally, the assembled McGregors
gasped In horror, YES" he calmly con-
dnued, you needn't groan. True, we are
at war with Germany just now and we
have to show them and lick them. But
their past services here shall not be for
gotten" Quite handsome.
And then, Of course, we have the
italians who still do honor to Columbus,
the Poles who can't forget Pulaski and
Kosciusko, the Hugenot, the Dutch, and
many, many more. And so what? Why,
they all tell us of what they have done
for the country. How about what the
country has done for them? In any case,
irrespective Of ancient ties, ancient
friendships and enmities, this Nation
owes no fealty to any other. 1t must
consider its own interests. It Is a house
Of many mansions, all under the same
roof. And house that Is divided against
Itself cannot stand. FRED VETTER.

Disapproves Of Stars
War Editorials.

To the Editor Of The Star:
have been puzzled by the attitude of
The Star ever since the European war be-
gan. Instead of adopting strictly neu-
trail or American viewpoint of the various
phases of the conduct Of that war, The
Star has been rampant partisan of
England, France, Poland, Finland,
Czecho-Slovakia and Turkey. Earlier in
the war there wasn't day but what The
Star had an editorial extolling one or all
of those countries and at the same time
condemning their common enemy. This
puzzled me because in the news columns
you use material quite complimentary to
Germany. No incident was too small to
praise the "democracies' or condemn the
"aggressors." gave up when an edi-
torial took an almost triumphant tone in
approving the entrance of Turkey into
the democratic fold. There was not
suspicion that the Turks might not be
democratic or that they had not lived
down their reputation based on the con-
tinuing massacres of the Armenians
The editorial in Mondays paper ap-
proving Winston Churchill's invitations
to neutral nations to join Britain in max
ing the world safe for democracy is really
too much. MS.

to attend q hearing on the charges
in September, 1898.
On this state Of the record. 1t is
difficult to understand how the pres
ent Governor of Ohio, John w.
Bricker, can possibly justify his as
sertion that the veto "once again
illustrates the willingness of the New
Deal to sabotage humanitarian prin-
ciples whenever it can serve it's own
selfish purposes by so doing" All of
the evidence refutes this contention
and suggests that, far from playing
politics, Mr. Roosevelt demonstrated
commendable courage and a firm
devotion to the principles of sound
social security by rejecting this bill,
despite its popularity with the needy
aged voters in Ohio.
The true issue at stake was we'll
stated by the President when he de-
clared that approval of the measure
would mean that States no longer
would be compelled to maintain the
standards set up by the Congress,
but could violate these standards
with impunity and still get their
money"

Peace Conference

The Conference on the Cause and
Cure of War has appealed to Presi-
dent Roosevelt to call "as quickly as
possible" conference of representa-
tives of neutral nations to mediate
between belligerents involved in the
European conflict But liquidation
of the prevailing strife, however de-
sirable it would seem, is not yet likely.
Great Britain and France on the
one hand and Germany on the other
are reconciled to a long war. Leaders
on both sides have declared an
agreement upon at least that point.
Pope Plus XII also, in his acknowl-
edgement of Mr.. Roosevelt's Christ
mas letter, suggested that the time
is not ripe for Intervention.
Meanwhile, the President is known
to be watchfully waiting for a psy-
Geological moment when it may be
possible for him to speak with effect.
He tried to prevent recourse to arms
before and even after the Munich
"appeasement" meeting. Hitler and
Chamberlain knew that he was
available as an arbiter. He did all
that any man could to prevent the
invasion of Poland, which prompted
the decision of Great Britain and
France to fight in September. The
failure Of his efforts is a matter Of
history. 1t also is part of the record
that Queen Wilhelmina of the
Netherlands and King Leopold of
Belgium offered their help toward an
adjustment of the quarrel. They
were rebuffed with scant ceremony.
But the neutral conference idea is
worthy of thoughtful consideration.
Something of the same kind was
attempted during the first World
War. 1t might be worthwhile to
bring together the delegates of the
small nations whose independence
has not yet been destroyed. Mr..
Roosevelt possibly would welcome the
creation of an association of "inno-
cent bystanders to attempt to
terminate the conflict now, but to
prepare for the settlement which
eventually must be accomplished.
OF this the American public may
be assured: The President, possessed
as he is of information necessarily
not commonly shared, will act in
behalf Of peace as promptly as he has
reason to believe that there is any
chance Of success. To move prema-
turely might be fatal to his hopes for
the restoration Of order and justice
abroad.

A Proper Veto

President Roosevelt's veto of Q bill
which would have reimbursed the
State of Ohio for some $1,30O,000
spent on old-age assistance in Oc-
tober, 1898, and the subsequent
action of the House in sustaining
that veto, are important contribu-
lions toward maintaining the integ-
rity of the Nations social security
system.
The sum which the bill sought to
restore represented what would have
been the Federal contribution to the
States old-age assistance program,
but which was ordered withheld by
the Social Security Board. Prior to
taking this action the board had
made formal charges to the effect
that Ohio was not complying with
the law governing Federal contribu-
lions. Although serious in nature,
these charges were not disproved by
Martin L. Davey, who was then seek
ing reelection as Democratic Cover
nor Of Ohio. and State officials failed

The Deutschland

Germany's pocket battleship, the
Deutschland, is back in her home
port for an indefinite period. The
homecoming must have been any,
thing but happy one, for two
reasons. First, she is still mourning
the loss of her sister ship, the Graf
Won Spec, and, second, she has been
notified that she no longer may
carry the proud name of the father
land, for which she has dared count
less perils since the outbreak Of the
European war.
BY direction Of Fuehrer Hitler, the
name under which she was christ
ened in 1881 has been erased and in
its place has been painted "Luetzow.
This was the name assigned only a
few months ago to a less powerful
warship, heavy cruiser, which now
must receive another designation.
The new Deutschland is to be
mightier ship than the old one, &C
cording to dispatches from Berlin.
Presumably the name will be given
to one of the formidable thirty-fve-
thousandton battleships which Ger
many is building. Two of these
capital ships were laid down in 1886
and at least two others were begun
a year or so later. Although Hitler
has guarded his naval construction
program carefully, it is reported that
fifth dreadnought of this tonnage
is being built at feverish pace. It
is only natural that Hitler should
wish to transfer to one of these big
ships the coveted name which the
German Navy customarily reserves
for its outstanding fighting ships.
Perhaps, with the fate Of the Won
Spec fresh in his mind, Herr Hitler
may have felt that a pocket battle
ship was too vulnerable to bear the
Deutschland nameplate any longer.
AS matter of fact, the officers and
crew of the pocket ship probably are
consoled by the realization that the
new name of their ship is revered
one in the German Navy. The flag
ship of the German Reconnaissance
Fleet which opened the battle OF
Jutland in 1916 was called the Luet-
zow. 1t was put out of commission
only after it had been hit at least
fifteen times. And the achievements
of the pocket ship which now
bears the name have been worthy of
note, from the Nazi viewpoint.
While all her raiding activities have
not been divulged, it is known that
she sank the British freighter Stone
gate last October and the British
armed merchant cruiser Rawalpindi
month later. Incidentally, it was
the Deutschland which seized the
American freighter City of Flint.

Proportional Representation
Urged for District.
To the Ehiter ~ The Rt.r.


To the Editor Of The STAR
Senator King is giving us voteless citi-
zens OF the District of Columbia sound
advice when he says that we should not
bring welter of partisan politics into
the pure atmosphere of our beautiful
Capital City.
We want the vote Of course. Our refer
endum on April 80, 1898, clearly indi-
Gated that. We would not be fit citizens
OF a democratic country II we were not
willing to bear our share Of RESPONSE
bility in it.
But, if Senator Kings objection to
partisan politics, holds weight for the
District, then why not for the rest of
the United States?
Has democracy failed in America?
Wherever the majority of the citizens
OF city or State are unwillingly con-
trolled by small but powerful political
machine-it stands to reason that there
democracy has failed.
This Is usually not the fault of de-
mocracy but of the voting system in
use in that particular city or State. Let
them adopt the system of electing public
servants known as proportional repre-
sentation and the political gang or boss
will be down and out. Why? Because
it abolishes the party primary where q
plurality vote by very small number
Of voters may foist on the electorate
a candidate whom the majority do not
want.
Under the proportional representation
system of voting, many independent
candidates are selected by all the en-
franchised citizens. In the runoff, the
candidates stand upon their personal
views and promises and the voter selects
as his first choice the man whose prlnci-
pies most nearly coincide with his own.
But he also has the privilege of indi-
eating his second, third, fourth, etc.,
choice. When the tallying machine
counts the ballots, if the man of his first
choice already has sufficient votes to be
elected, then the voters ballot is not
wasted, but his second choice helps to
make the decision between other candi-
dates who have not yet attained the
quota. The number Of votes necessary
for electing candidate is not arbitrarily
designated but Is determined by d.
viding the total number Of eligible voters
by the number of places to be filled
