significant item of news that leaked

Harmful Delay

Although careful deliberation in
the making of judicial appointments
is eminently desirable, it is to be
hoped that the President will take
action at an early date to fill the
vacancy on the bench of the United
States District Court which occurred
when Justice Joseph w. Cox died
six months ago.
Justice Cox, who had practiced for
many years in Washington before
receiving his judicial appointment,
was skilled technician in the law
of the District and an indefatigable
worker whose death was a serious
handicap to a court already laboring
under the burden of a badly con-
gested docket. The recent appoint
ment of two new justices has tended
to relieve this congestion, but some
thing more is needed, and Mr.. Roose-
welt could make an important contri-
button to the efficient functioning of
the local judicial system by filling the
existing vacancy with the early
appointment. of a judge who would
be qualified in all respects to under
take at once his full share of the
courts work.
This can be accomplished only by
the selection of lawyer who, by
virtue of long experience in District
practice, is familiar with the pro-
cedure and the law of this jurisdic-
ton. There are, of course, many
other sound reasons for the appoint
ment of local man. At the present
time only five of the eleven members
of the lower court received their legal
training in Washington. Importance
also should attach to the fact that
approximately 80 per cent Of the
courts work consists of what might
be called strictly local cases, con-
sideration which lends weight to the
claims of the local bar for fair rep
resentation on the bench.
Nor can it be said that there is any
dearth of splendidly qualified lawyers
in Washington, men who would be
credit to the bench. In this connec-
ton, however, the task of making a
suitable selection has been made
easier by the unprecedented char
acter of the Endorsements given
United States Attorney David A..
Pine. Added to his excellent work
as prosecutor is the persuasive con-
sideration that he has received the
unqualified Endorsement of the Dis
trict Bar Association, the Barristers'
Club, the Federal Bar Association,
the Women's Bar Association of the
District, the Federation of Business
mems Associations, the American
Good Government Society, the
National Democratic League, the
Virginia Democratic Association and
a large number of other civic groups
and individual citizens associations

Disastrous Explosion

This is indeed a war-minded world.
Nations not actually engaged in con-
flict are accumulating munitions and
storing them in isolated rural depots
to minimize the risk. AS an instance,
several million small-caliber high
explosive shells were stored in a barn
near Indianapolis. They were of an
ancient type, first developed by the
Indians centuries ago, but still
popular.
A fire broke out. It speaks we'll for
the bravery of Hoosiers in general
that every one within reach rushed
not away from, but toward, the scene
of disaster, undismayed by the din
Of sound and the myriads of white
puffs as each shell ripped open.
Children were especially eager, and
had to be forcibly restrained by their
elders. All munitions went off except
a few duds which obstinately refused
to function under the stimulus Of
heat.
BY general agreement among pub
fishers, the story was played down,
and there were no scare headlines
announcing the catastrophe. Fortu-
nately the casualties were few, con-
sisting mostly of a series of juvenile
tummy aches caused by overeating.
It may be mentioned in passing that
the total loss was fifteen tons Of
natures high explosive-pop corn.

loan back. If she could get It, Her
record for paying her debts speaks for
itself. Compare Finland's record with
that of Russia
But the politicians in Washington
frown on loan to Finland. 1t might
appear unneutral. Russia might OBJ
ject. Russia probably has already OBJ
jected. And the administration and the
politicians appear timid about Offend
ing Russia.
The administration is buying large
quantities of Russian gold at an arti-
flcially high price, thus enabling Russia
to finance her unprovoked war on Fin
land. Isn't that unneutral?
This country sells shiploads of scrap
iron to Japan, which permits her to
pursue her aggression in China Isn't
that unneutral?
Yet the administration fears to loan
money to Christian country like Fin
land for fear it might seem unneutral to
some other nations!
If this Government won't loan to
Finland, there is one other way we can
get cash over here in order to buy
weapons, and that is by private, indi-
vidual contributions from the American
people. Don't delay! The Finnish
people need help desperately!

Unity in the Balkans

It was the spirit of the American
patriot, John Dickinson, voiced in
1.-THE Liberty Song" Q768), that
lowered over the conference of Ru-
mania, Turkey, Yugoslavia and
Greece at Belgrade over Balkan
problems on Sunday. They decided
that "by uniting we stand, by di-
viding we fall"
What secret understandings among
themselves, what undisclosed agree
ments with non-entente Hungary
and Bulgaria, what undertakings OF
non-aggression by the great powers
notably Russia, Germany and
Italy-preceded the four-state "com-
mon vigil" compact among the
Rumanians, Turks, Yugoslavs and
Greeks the outside world can only
surmise. Even the army of one hun
dred and fifty foreign newspaper
correspondents who descended en-
masse on Belgrade met with no sue
cess in ferreting out the obvious
and possibly ominous behind-the-
scenes maneuvers which produced
the seven-year prolongation of the
Balkan neutral entente.
Meantime, Germany halls it as a
rebuke of Great Britain. Berlin sees
in the non-committal outcome of
the conference a clear rebuff Of
British aims as voiced in Mr.. Church.

But time will have to tell whether

ravages of the European war are
destined to be mere aspirations or
will be realized. That, unfortunately,
is not primarily for the Balkans to
determine. Everything will depend
on whether Germany and Russia, on

allies on their part find it perma-

Makes Urgent Appeal
For Finnish Aid.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Those who really feel sorry for Finland
and want to see that gallant little nation
survive, should send every dollar they
can spare to the Republic of Finland,
care of the Minister from Finland, 2146
Wyoming avenue NV, Washington,
D. G. These contributions should be
sent Immediately by check, by money
order or in postage stamps.
Usually funds collected for Finnish re-
lief are limited to the purchase Of food
and medical supplies. The Firms don't
need food. They raise what they eat.
What they desperately need are air
planes and anti-aircraft guns So II
money Is sent directly to the Minister Of
Finland, he will purchase the things the
Films need, and he won't limit himself
to food and bandages.
The Minister from Finland, Mr..
H. p. P. Procope, may not solicit funds
In this country for his people, but we
can be mighty sure he will welcome
every penny sent him and we may also
be sure that the money he receives will
be spent on Finnish defense and none
Of It for administrative expenses.
Because the Finns have no cash with
which to pay for defensive armament,
they have asked for q loan from this

plunge in, and try to identify them, any,
way: in time he will have few warblers
and few sparrows to his mental credit.
The prominent sparrows hereabouts
during winter are the English species,
the song sparrow, and the white
throated sparrow. These are the fun
damental sparrows, along with that
other beauty of the finch family, to
which they all belong. the junco. or
snowbird
Occasionally local garden will have
a tree sparrow, too. The remainder Of
the 10 sparrows will be identified only
by professionals, perhaps, or amateur
observers who are really professional
In this particular ability.
The main thing about the sparrows,
for the strict amateur, is to realize how
many Of them there are, and just how
much alike they look to the unframed
eye.
This is essential even for those who
think they know great deal about
bird life. Even the most experienced
must remind himself, now and then,
that he probably doesn't know all the
sparrows, by any means, and certainly
not all the warblers.
- AA
As this column said recently, the
purple finch is a fairly common winter
visitant here, and an abundant spring
migrant, less common in the fall.
Its coming to an individual garden
Is always an event.
The young birds and the females
often are mistaken for English SPAR
rows. There can be little doubt that
many of these fine birds have been
killed on the mistaken assumption that
they were nothing but English SPAR
rows"
This is one reason why the observer
should make every effort to be as
broad minded as possible, in this sport,
and to err on the side of tolerance, If
tolerance can be called error.
The male purple finch is pinkish-
purple and brown, the pink suffusing
the breast and the tip Of the head and
back.
The male really hasn't crest, but
rather decided ruffling of the feathers
on the head, which gives a distinct ap-
pearance of crest.
The female is a plain bird. olive-gray
above, white below.
The birds do not sing much at this
time of year, but now and then utter
soft cheep, cheep, called the feeding
note.
These finches naturally consort with
the English sparrows. with which they
feel quite at home 1t is always well to
scan flock of the sparrows carefully,
in order to make sure there are not
some purple flnches among them.
Another beauty which does not mind
but rather seems to enjoy the COM
pany of English sparrows is the cardinal,
everybody's favorite. This, too is no
wonder, since It belongs to the same
great bird family. If we value birds
by the company they keep. we must not
despise the humble English sparrows.

Commends A. F. of L. for
Unemployment Stand.

To the Editor Of The Star:
It is indeed encouraging to read
statements like that recently issued at
Miami by the Executive Council of the
American Federation Of Labor regarding
the causes of the prolonged and extern
sive unemployment In this country and
the need of constructive governmental
program which will restore confidence
and give encouragement to private in
dustry.
This is not the first time that such
views have been expressed by the leaders
of the A. F. of L., but it Is not certain
that they have been shared and ade-
quately appreciated by the rank and
file of laboring people and by the voters
generally.
If this unemployment problem is to
be solved without the sacrifice of our
system of private enterprise, the de-
pendence of our material prosperity on
production and the coordinate fnnc-
tions of capital and labor in that pro-
duction must be generally recognized.
We cannot have high living standards
If the Nations production is at a low
level no matter what sort of wages and
hours" laws we may place on our statute
books. We cannot have economic Sc
curity. job security or old-age security
If production is at low ebb, no matter
what kind of social security" scheme we
may adopt. Prosperity, high living
standards and economic security cannot
be obtained by legislation. They can be
obtained only through production main-
tanned at a high level The more we
produce the better we can live and the
more secure will be our existence. And
in this production capital is as necessary
as labor, and the incentive to investment
is profits.
Finally, we cannot hope to retain our
individual liberties If we are going to
expect others Gas the Government
to assume the burden and responsibility
for our maintenance. With liberty there
must be responsibility. With RESPONSE
bility there must be power.
