Dear Mr.. Hearst:
TIVE been waiting for "A long

situation. Does the opinion of

one iota In regard To the govern

foolish enough 10 say yes? In the

people really have choice" Or
did the Roosevelt party nominate

An "elder statesman" still in the

Dominion-wide renown as an inde-
pendent liberal, whose political career
goes back to the Laurier era. From
1898 to 1908 he was a member az
the House of Commons at Ottawa.
His philanthropic interests long since

Curb on Strikes

In the current discussion OF pro-
posals to discourage or limit the
scope of strikes in defense industries,
the report of the Labor Division of
the National Defense Advisory Com
mission should receive careful con-
sideration.
This report seems to be in the
nature of a special pleading. It
seeks, on it's face, to present the
picture of the effect of strikes on
the defense program in a most favor
able light, presumably in an effort
to counteract unwarranted infer
ences which have been drawn with
respect to the harmful consequences
of these work stoppages. For ex-
ample, according to the report, shut
downs due to strikes In American
industry-a term evidently used to
cover defense as well as non defense
work-during the year 1910 ac-
counted for an average Of less than
two hours per year per worker. That
is about one-fourth of the total time
lost through industrial accidents.
The Labor Division contends that
this is a remarkable record" and,
while it may be conceded that the
showing, relatively speaking, is good,
there is nothing in the picture to
justify the decidedly complacent tone
adopted by the authors Of the report.
In a time of great national emer-
gency, such as the present, any
employer-employe friction which re-
tards the defense effort is a matter
of grave concern, and no useful pur-
pose is served by minimizing or
sugar coating the evil inherent in
defense strikes.
AS pointed out by Undersecretary
of War Patterson, during the single
week of February "a there were
10000 man-days lost because Of
strikes in plants producing Army
goods alone. Surely there is no cause
for qualification or complacency in
that record, and the same thing
might be said Of Attorney General
Jacksons denunciation Of Com
munist influences behind the Vultee
strike, and the recent boastful COM
ment from c. I. o. labor leader
after the shutdown of the Bethlehem
Lackawanna mill, "The Government
thought we couldn't close the plant,
but we did"
1t is in clear recognition of the
fact that any impairment of the
defense effort by strikes is dangerous
to the national safety that Mr.. Pat
terson, william Knudsen and others
have offered proposals for legislation
requiring new mediation efforts and
cooling off, periods before any de-
fense strike can be called. TO date
most spokesmen for organized labor
have opposed any mandatory legisla-
ton to this end, but in adopting that
attitude they are only inviting more
drastic legislative action.

anomaly of burning expensive arti.
ficial light in the evening whilst an
abundance OF free daylight was
wasted in the morning by late rising.
A further exposition of the philos-
ophy which Poor Richard outlined
is to be found in two messages to
Congress penned by President Wood
row Wilson. In the first of these,
he declared with particular reference
to the legislation of 1918: THAT act
was intended to place the chief busi-
ness activities of the country as
nearly as might be within the limits
of daylight throughout the year. It
resulted In very great economies Of
fuel and a substantial economy of
energy because of the very different
effects Of work done in daylight and
work done by artificial light" Still
more impressive was his second
affirmation, including the words:
"The immediate and pressing need
of the country is production, in
creased and increasing production in
all lines of industry"
The present demand Is even more
drastic than that Of 1919. If the
United States actually is to be "the
arsenal of democracy" every minute
of the months Immediately ahead
will be precious. The example set
by Massachusetts, and New Hamp-
shire, both of which have Statewide
daylight, saving laws, is worthy OF
emulation by their sister Common
wealths from coast to coast.

Quotes q British View
OF the United States About so Years Ago.
To the Editor Of The Star:
If the British Isles actually are in
vaded, the resultant hysteria in this
country may overwhelm all who oppose
our entrance into the war. Though we
all hope that England will win and beat
back any invasion that may come, let
us not forget what England's attitude
was when our own Government last was
threatened with invasion.
During our Civil War the London
Times remarked editorially that England
was enjoying considerable prosperity at
q time when the United States was tot
tering on the brink Of destruction. BY
June, 1853, Gen. Lee was moving north
ward with one of the largest armies ever
assembled on this continent. Following
is a typical editorial comment of that
day, taken from the Times for Saturday.

the average Jay will never do anything in

We have been watching these birds
for 10 years now, in q rather intensive
fashion, and have yet TO see them do a
single thing which might strike even the
most captious observer as i'll done.
In that time we have seen grackles
kill defenseless baby cardinals, and have
witnessed many garden tragedy, such
as that of a recent date when hawk
carried away a sparrow.
We believe that most Of the i'll speak
ing against this bird stems from the
famous plate Of Audubon, In which he
depicted Jay with broken birds egg
in its claws.
1t is true that they will steal eggs, but
this is a trick not confined to them alone.
And when it comes to sheer beauty,
there is no bird in the winter garden
which can outdo it for splendor.
Even the cardinal, that universal
favorite, cannot be said to be prettier;
it is merely a question of which color

II you do happen to like red the best,
then you will think the redbird the finest,
but if, on the other hand, you prefer
blue, you will like the Jay better.
Surely our blue jay is even more in
teresting to watch than the redbird, not
only because of its plumage and its
tricks, but also because it appears only
every now and then.
Some observers say that jays never
come to a garden on Fridays, and they
declare that the bird goes to visit the
devil on that day. This is plainly sur
vival of some old tale

The jay does not stick around garden.
He is too full of vim and vigor for
staying. He likes to fly away, giving his
yell of defiance to hawks and sundry
He is not afraid of hawk.
1t is noticeable that hawks keep well
away from bird feeding places when blue
jays are there. They never plunge in
for sparrow until the Jays leave.
Even If the jays would not fight a
hawk, they would surely warn the smaller
birds of its approach by their raucous
yells. But they have many sweet notes
in their repertoire. Often they fairly

We believe our correspondent in error
about the fate of birds raised in captivity
and then turned loose, providing it is
done properly.
1t must be remembered that the period
Of captivity is only for few weeks,
whereas behind the bird is all the i'm
mensity of time.
You cannot, in few short weeks, take
away from any wild bird the protective
instincts which have guided his race for
thousands and thousands of years.
We believe that where the trouble
comes in lies in turning such a bird
loose in the city rather than in the
woods. There are too many handicaps
and dangers in the city.
If the bird which has been befriended
In need is taken to the deep woods, ano

DuyIiqht Saving

The suggestion put forward by Sec
retary of the Interior Harold L. Ickes
in behalf of daylight saving should be
considered on its own indubitable
merits. During the prevailing emer-
gency there surely is as much need
for setting the clock ahead as there
was twenty-three years ago at the
apex of American effort in the first
World War. Many cities-New York,
Philadelphia and Pittsburgh among
them-soon will 60 on summer time.
There is no compelling reason why
Congress should not revive the law
Of March 10, 1918, for the benefit Of
the entire Nation.
Deliberate and purposeful disre-
gard for chronology dependent upon
the sun has advantages which are
not dificult to comprehend. william
Willett, the sponsor Of the modern
movement for daylight saving,
printed a pamphlet in 1909 in which
he called attention to the fact that
such expedient management Of the
hours Illuminated by solar power has
been practiced since the most remote
antiquity In Asia, Africa, Australia
and "the agrarian communities Of
Europe" An earlier proponent Of
the same thrifty policy of conserva-
ton was Benjamin Franklin, who,
in March, 17S4, when Minister to
France, published in the Paris Journal
q letter In which he discussed the
