condition of life have been eliminated
by the impact of national crisis.
The power of cohesion thus
achieved already has had convinc-
ing demonstration. One manifesto
tion of it may be found in an inter-
faith service to be held at Washing
ton Cathedral this afternoon. The
Right Rev. James E. Freeman, Bishop
of Washington, has sent invitations
to all registered clergymen in the
District of Columbia, soliciting their
participation in single act of prayer
"for this Nation and the deliverance
of the world" The Rev. DR.. Oscar
Blackwelder, president of the Wash
ington Federation of Churches, and
Rabbi Norman Gerstenfeld, minister
CT the Washington Hebrew CongTe-
cation, it has been announced, are
to share in the appeal for providen-
tial intervention.
Such unity Of religious expression,
Of course, has nothing to do with
sectarianism, nothing to do with de-
nominational variation, nothing to
do with any traditional separation OF
any sort. The congregation will be
fundamentally American, and that
is all that matters in the prevailing
emergency. "A united people before
God" stands forth in defense of
civilization, 1t appeals for divine aid
without regard for any circumstance
save that Of spiritual freedom and
cooperation against organized evil
and violence.

Censorship and Integrity

Censorship always has been famed
for it's stupidities and in free
country will undoubtedly maintain
that reputation. But even the most
violent critic of censorship will rec
ognize the necessity for suppression,
during the war, of any news Of any
kind which, if published. might bring
aid to the enemy. That is the kind
of censorship ordered into effect by
the Government and, for the sake OF
the very freedoms for which we are
fighting now, it should be the only
kind of censorship with which our
people will have to contend during
the war.
Whether it remains the only kind
of censorship will depend. to large
extent, upon the smoothness and
success of its operation. The chief
part of its operation is relatively
simple, consisting of the suppression
at their source-by the Govern
ment-of facts that otherwise auto
matically would become public prop
erty. The other part is more difficult
and consists of voluntary suppression
by newspapers and other organs OF
matter which, in their Judgment,
discloses information of value to the
enemy This is a difficult undertak-
ing because of the differences OF
opinion as to what news is helpful
to- the enemy. The Government
eventually may find it necessary to
establish an Office which will make
the decision on doubtful questions.
For the time being, however, the
Government is arbitrarily exercising
censorship Of news at the source.
It is withholding all details OF the
Pearl Harbor incident and has gone
so far as to announce the policy.
without known precedent In this
country, of indefinitely withholding
casualty lists, except for private
communications to next of kin. AS
the war progresses it will have the
power to withhold many other mat
ters of vital public interest on the
grounds that to reveal them is to
reveal military secrets.
The people will accept this censor
ship as long as they are confident
that the facts have been suppressed
for the security of the Nation. But
this same censorship will breed dis
trust, will undermine public conf
dence and destroy morale the mo-
ment it is suspected of use for
ulterior purposes, such as the pre-
vention of just criticism. The corol-
larry of censorship must be integrity
that remains unquestioned and
above suspicion.

A BILL OF RIGHTS
BIZ the Rt ReU E. Freeman D. d. IL. D. D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington

culcate in me a charitable attitude
toward those whose traditions and train
ing cause them to pursue way different
from my own.
1t is Bill of Rights that, without dis
elimination or favor, guarantees to every
citizen life, liberty and the pursuit OF
happiness. ANY attempted abuse or in
fringement of these rights, any attempt
to put restraints upon their free and con-
sistent exercise should deny to the Of
Tending citizen the priceless privileges
they confer. With this affirmation Of de-
votion to our basic law must We not be
reminded that laws of themselves, how
ever reasonable and perfect they may be,
do not execute themselves? High praise
of them is not enough. Acceptance OF
their implications is inadequate.
We affirm that the ideals on which the
fathers builded the Republic were
spiritual, and that they found their sane
ton in the express teachings Of Jesus
Christ. Whenever these Christian ideals
have been subordinated. the Nation has
declined To lift the ideals of a people
means to insure high-minded obedience
Of laws, hence we contend that the
present world crisis must call forth from
every citizen freshened devotion to
iGccis that in turn he may enjoy his
freedom When a nation is seized with
tie convection that in God is its trust.
1t guarantees to itself the blessings which
that trust insures. A deep spiritual re-
vival, a widespread recognition of our
dependence upon God and a strong de-
termination to obey His law, is the
pressing need of our people today. To
put it in few sentences:
Americanism at its best is complete
and unqualified loyalty to the ideals OF
government set forth in the Bill of
Rights, the Declaration of Independence
and the Constitution of the United
States. 1t is respect for and ready obe-
dience to duly constituted authority and
the laws Of the land 1t is freedom with
out license, religion without bigotry. re-
spact for all nations without entangling
alliances, Christian charity without bias
or race hatred love of flag and a readi-
ness to defend that for which it stands
against every alien and subyersive IN
f1uence from without or from within.
This i believe. is Americanism. and
Americanism based on Christian ideals.

Federal Ruid Plans

The announcement by Federal
Works Administrator Fleming that
an AFRAID warden organization on
a twenty-four hour basis is being put
into effect in Government buildings
In the District and that guard and
mechanical forces have been aug
mented provides gratifying evidence
that plans had been prepared, in
advance OF our entrance into the war,
to protect Federal buildings and en-
ployes against air attack and
saboteurs.
Early in July, the Public Buildings
Administration established a secur-
ity division to work out program for
safeguarding Government buildings
in the event of an attack on Wash
ington. AS explained by w. e.
Reynolds, commissioner Of public
buildings, / 400 building guards, who
have already received special train
ing by experts in the technique OF
civilian defense, will constitute the
backbone of the protective organiza-
ton. A staff of AFRAID wardens is
being recruited In each Federal
agency. These will be under the
direction of Charles A. Peters, build
ing manager of the Federal Works
Agency, who has been designated as
deputy air-raid warden for all Gov
ernment buildings in the District and
nearby areas.
Consideration also is being given
to additional safety measures. Un-
der the direction of Commissioner
Reynolds, a committee has been
studying for several months the
structural features OF individual
buildings and has prepared plans for
improving their protective qualities
This committee also will determine
the safest places in each building
under present conditions. These
recommendation should facilitate
the evacuation or protection Of per-
sonnet in an emergency.
1t is to be expected that Govern
ment employees will cooperate In the
protective plan and carry out any
| assignments given them. Now thai

Restaurant Rembrundts

Restaurant proprietors have long
been up against the problem of the
diner who takes a pencil, often in
delible, and uses the tablecloth as
a drafting board for sketching
everything from telephone numbers
to plans of a ur-story mansion.
Heavy and frequent laundering is
necessary to get the cloth ready for
more doodles and gravy spots from
the next diner.
A Chicago restaurateur has tackled
the problem in a realistic spirit. He
has officially recognized that doo-
ding is legitimate art, not to be
suppressed. 1t is, from his point Of
view, q misdirected art when prac-
ticed on linen, so he very practically
provides his guests with pads and
pencils to while away the long,
tedious minutes between the soup
and the fish. AS further encourage
ment, he even offers prizes for the
best doodles.
Before long, he feels, some hungry
amateur Rembrandt will hit the
jackpot and win the Fine Arts
Academy Award, thereby bringing
invaluable publicity to his estab-
lishment without the nuisance Of
sending the winning tablecloth to
the Mellon Gallery in Washington.

Under the pressure OF events We are
compelled to turn once again to our fun
damental law and to consider 1t in the
light of our obligation to it. Recipients
Of great gifts too often regard them care
lessly or indifferently. 1t is characteristic
of people that too often they fail to
look unto the rock whence they are hewn.
A world catastrophe tends to stab them
broad awake" Such a catastrophe faces
the free people Of America today. Privi-
leges and blessings long enjoyed have
been threatened and startled Nation
is called upon to re-app.aise its virtues
and its vices. Few have adequately ap-
praised or regarded with reverent devo-
ton their great inheritance in the Con-
stitution and particularly in the Bill OF
Rights. The rights have been assumed
without due regard for the cost and sac
rifice which they entail They are ac-
cepted, frequently abused by prodigal
and unthinking men and women.
What do these accepted freedoms mean
to us? Can they be maintained in per-
petuity unless we are ready and pre-
pared to defend them at any cost? Can
they be transmitted to our children un-
impaired, if we permit elements within
or threatening influences from without
to treat them with contempt or 10 vio-
late their rich provisions?
Apart from my Christian convictions
and indeed. as an expression of these con-
victions, regard my citizenship under
the Constitution and Bill of Rights as
a treasure and as a blessing greater than
that enjoyed by any citizen Of the world,
ancient or modern. Freedom Of assembly,
freedom OF speech, freedom of worship
and what comes to me through freedom
Of the press, constitute a heritage Of
incalculable value They lay upon me
responsibilities and obligations that call
for all that possess Of moral courage
and Christian virtue. They compel me TO
be considerate of the rights and privi-
leges OF others. They prescribe generos-
ity, kindness and tolerance in all human
relationship. They admonish me that
here in free America. every citizen is a
sovereign whose rights and privileges
cannot be infringed b. any act o. mine.
While they accord me freedom Of speech
they do not permit me to employ it to
the hurt OF others. While they permit me
TO enjoy freedom of worship, they in

the United States Is in the war, the
possibility OF an assault on the
Capital, with Federal buildings
among the probable targets, cannot

taken by the Federal Works Agency
seem well devised, and should go
far toward achieving their objec-

buildings and Government workers
against an enemy attack. 1t may be

Fifty Years Ago
In The Star

Fifty years ago the Fifty-second Con-
gress, convened the week before, was
tackling a flood of bills. Two especially
were OF local interest. Said The Star of
December IA, 1891: SEN
Bills in ATE. Among the de-
r partmental and other
communications laid be-
fore the Senate by the Vice President
and referred we're the following: BY Mr..
Souires-For a monument to Gen. U. S.
Grant in the city of Washington.
BY Mr.. Daniel-To make public park
of the Arlington estate near Washington
and for the construction of a bridge
thereto
1t was not until 1901 that a site was
fixed for the Grant Memorial The

ALp.:I Gated until 1922. At
that time there were
two bridges to Virginia the old Four
teenth Street Highway Bridge and the
Aoueduct Bridge. now the Key Bridge.
The Arlington Bridge was completed in
1882, largely as result of the Armistlce
Day traffic fiasco of 1921. when auto
mobiles were jammed for countless
hours and thousands never even got to
the ceremonies.
The war alarms of half century
ago seem trifing now, but they did exist.

ported: DOES 1T MEAN A WAR?

of the fighting on the Pamlr frontier
-. was flashed around the world, there
was a responsive thrill of warlike expec-
tation among the Queens subjects from
north to south, from east to west. Has
the long-expected signal come at last?
That is the question"
1t was suspected that the Russian gov
ernment had sponsored Afghan attacks
against outposts of India, but no war
resulted.
On the same day The Star printed
an article headed Christmas Gifts
From Japan" which seems jncongruous
today when their Christmas gifts are
bombs.
The Star of December IA, 1891, carried
the account of the funeral of Dom
Pedro. exiled former Emperor of Brazil
"HONORED IN LISBON. The Remains
of Dom Pedro Placed

For in the Pantheon. All
Dom Pedro the members of the
royal family and all the officials of the
foreign diplomatic corps with the excep-
ton of the Brazilian Embassy, accom-
panied the remains to the Pantheon,
where Dom Pedro's body was deposited
in the family vault. the coffin being
placed next to that containing the body
of his wife"
Brazlians we're greatly incensed that
any honors at all should be given Dom
Pedro. and indignation meetings were
held in Rio de Janeiro in protest. calling
the funeral ceremonies an unfriendly
act Portugal paid no attention to this
unoficial demonstration.
The mystery of the identity Of mad
