YuqosIuv Unity

The decision of Vladimir Mack,
leader of the Croat autonomists, to
accept the post of vice premier in
the government of Gen. Dusan ST.
movie destroys Adolf Hitler's last
hope of driving a wedge between
the Serbs and the Croats by playing
on their mutual and ancient jeal-
ousies. AS matters now stand, Yugo-
slavia will present a united front to
any Nazi aggression, and that is a
development which marks the final
collapse Of Hitler's latest diplomatic
blitzkrieg in the Balkans.
From now on there is every indica-
ton that the Fuehrer must make
an election between backing down,
with all the loss of prestige that
would entail, and fighting a war on
two fronts-the traditional night
mare of the German general staff.
Added to this is the unhappy pros
pect-from the Berlin viewpoint
that a war with Yugoslavia would
have to be fought in, and would Sc
riously disrupt, an area from which
the Reich draws important food sup
plies and raw materials, thus robbing
the Nazis of the fruits of their earlier
bloodless conquests in the Balkan
states.
Whatever Hitler decides to do, the
indications are that he will move
decisively and soon. Among the
factors indicating that he will order
his waiting armies to march are re-
ports from Belgrade that virtually
all of the German Legation staff
has been ordered home, and the
publication in the Reich of familiar
pre-invasion charges of atrocities
against Germans in Yugoslavia.
In the face of the gathering storm
the Yugoslav government-stre
ened by Macek's adherence-Stands
firm. For the time being, at least,
conquest by terrorism is at an end,
and the next move is up to Hitler.
The decision he must make is his
most momentous since ordering the
assault on Poland.

Freezing Coal Prices

In view of the cessation of work
In the bituminous coal industry, fol-
lowing the deadlock in the negotia-
tions for a new contract between
the United Mine Workers of America
and the operators, and the resulting
danger of a coal shortage, the action
Of the Government in freezing prices
Is clearly in the public interest. As
Leon Henderson, defense price sta
bilization commissioner, pointed out
yesterday, this step has been taken
to prevent price rises due to the
strike. The order, which fixes a
ceiling at the levels of March twenty
eight, will apply to producers, dis
tributors and retailers of soft coal,
and the maxima will vary with the
locality.
Because coal is basic commodity,
it's price is an important factor both
in the cost of living of the average
consumer and the production costs
Of industry. Runaway coal prices
would inevitably tend to increase
the prices Of other commodities, thus
providing an impetus for imitation
and its attendant evils. 1t is essen
tial, therefore, that coal prices be
kept from getting out of hand as a
result Of the strike of bituminous
coal miners, and yesterdays order
will be welcomed as assuring a sta
bilization Of prices during the pres
ent emergency.
The threatened shortage of soft
coal serves as a reminder of the toll
exacted by the present wave of
strikes. In coal, as in other indus
tries, stoppages Of production not
only impede the Nations prepared
ness effort, and reduce the volume
of our aid to Britain and the other
democracies resisting national ag-
gression, but they also cause serious
disruptions in our national economy.

of our leadership and press, fear of the
axis might. Omissions include whatever
might diminish this fear, such as men,
ton Of the superiority of British flying
skill, defeat of the Nazi invasion at
tempt, Italian failure, Greek success,
Russian unpredictability, etc.
Like little children we are led by easy
steps to simple conclusion-continue our
present policy of all-out aid to Britain
and we shall inevitably be defeated be-
cause, Col. Lindbergh says, this policy
leads to war and we are so very weak.
Discontinue aid and we will be secure
and strong. Like little children, we
have questions to ask-in a Fascist
world, may we count on a cooperative
South America? May we rely on the
protection of our broad Atlantic con-
trolled by Nazi navy? Will democracy
stand alone against Fascist pressure
within and without?
We are committed to an isolationist
policy, Col. Lindbergh believes, because
of our withdrawal after the last war.
Isolationism then deprived us of our
part in the organization designed to
keep the world at peace. Because we
failed once, are we to believe we must
never try again? We reject this de-
featist philosophy.

Farm Parity Payments

The Senate Appropriations Com
mittee, in reporting the new farm
bill passed by the Senate, recon-
mended an appropriation for parity
payments several hundred million
dollars greater than the amount ap-
proved by the House Three major
arguments are cited to justify the in
crease. First, that labor, under the
industrial expansion caused by the
defense program, has already
achieved an income equal to that
enjoyed in the years preceding the
World War, the period used as a
yardstick in measuring parity pur-
chasing power. Second, that indus
try, as evidenced by expanding
corporate profits, is attaining a SINH
lar level of prosperity. And third,
that the farmers, who have lost most
of their foreign markets as a result
of the war, are receiving little direct
benefit from preparedness expendi-
lures, and hence need larger Govern
ment subsidies to put them more
nearly on an economic parity with
labor and industry.
That defense expenditures are con-
ferring comparatively few direct
benefits on the farmers will readily be
conceded. There has been little in
crease in the price level since the
start of the rearmament program,
and the Federal Government is bend
ing every effort to prevent a sharp
rise in prices. Though the farmers
stand to gain from expanded national
income, and purchasing power, 1t is
not likely that the gain will be suff1-
cient to give them full measure Of
prosperity
During the parity" period from
1909 to 1914, the economic position
Of the farmers, compared with labor
and industry, was probably more
favorable than at any other period
in the recent history of the United
States Without subsidies so large as
to impose an lndefenSlble burden on
other population groups, farmers can
hardly hope, under present condi-
tions, to enjoy an income equal to
that which was theirs during the
parity years.
The parity payments voted by
the House were approximately the
amounts recommended by the budget.
In view of the urgent need to keep
non defense expenditures at as low
a level as possible, the increase pro-
posed by the Senate committee seems
hardly justified Farm buying power
In 1889 was seventy-two per cent
larger than in 1892, and was equal
to that in 1929, the Agricultural Ad-

Strike Injunction

The temporary injunction granted
by a Federal judge to restrain acts
of violence on the part of striking
automobile workers at the Ford plant
is designed to curb lawless conduct
in connection with the strike, not the
strike itself.
This is an important distinction,
and the injunction In this matter
should not be confused with the re-
cent decision of the Supreme Court
in the case of Meadowmoor Diaries,
Inc, which upheld the right of
the Illinois State courts to ban all
picketing when "set In background
of violence"
The Federal courts have no such
broad authority. Their power is
limited, as in this case, to restraining
specific things, such as particular
acts of violence. This strike, how
ever, has been marked by c. I. o.
violence of a most fragrant character,
and the judge who issued the injunc-
ton spoke with marked restraint
when he said: IT think this is a great
emergency. When thousands of peo-
pie gather and blockade roads, it is
time we showed it to be an emer-
gency, and every one, plaintiff, de-
PENDANTS and every one else, should
do everything they can to end it."
It remains to be seen whether the
issuance of this limited injunction
will lead to peaceful picketing" in
the Ford strike. 1t is at best a feeble
reinforcement of law and order, but
it is the most that the Federal court
can do under the limitations imposed
on judicial power in this respect by
Congress.
If rioting and lawlessness con-
tinue, however, there is every indica-
tion that Congress, If not the Presi-
dent, will act promptly to place labor
unions and labor leaders on the same

Orderly PIonninq

Action Of Chairman Maloney Of
the Senate Public Buildings and
Grounds Committee in appointing a
special subcommittee to study the
public building program in Washing
ton reflects the growing concern in
congressional and other official quar-
ters over problems arising from the
sudden expansion of emergency Of
fees here. Already there has been
evidence of confusion-of too hasty
choice of sites, of lack of co-ordina-
ton between executive authorities
and advisory planning agencies.
Recently, for example, plans were
made by the Public Buildings Admin
istration and the Budget Bureau for
erection of eight office structures
near Suitland, Maryland, without
consulting in advance the National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion. 1t has now been found that
the inadequacy of local utility and
other essential facilities would make
it extremely unwise to put more than
one such building in that locality
and the commission has refused to
approve more than one. Lately there
has been talk of placing six tenn
porary frame office units on the
abandoned Arlington experimental
farm, where sanitation facilities
would be far from equal to the greatly
increased demands. Congressional
conferees on the fifth supplemental
defense bill banned the Arlington
site, however, in favor of an undesig-
mated location on Federal property
within the District of Columbia. That
brings to the fore the problem of
finding suitable Federal ground in
Washington for the large project.
In the first World War period many
unsightly temporary office structures
were spread over the Mall. Once
there, it was many years after the
passing of the war emergency before
they disappeared.
This whole problem is rapidly be-
coming more acute. 1t Is proper,
therefore, that Congress should give
careful attention to all factors, in
cluding present and possible future
office requirements, available sites
and the need for co-ordinated plan
ming Of projects. Past experience
inspires the hope that mistakes of
the feverish World War era may be
avoided during this new emergency.

Objects to TOO Much" Italian Art
In National Gallery.

To the Editor of The Star:
I don't know what the reaction OF
other visitors to the new National Gal
lery may be, but mine was certainly one
of disappointment. The building Is
beautiful, but the paintings -. Well,
figures tell the story. According to the
guidebook, there are 539 paintings in the
gallery. OF these, all schools other than
the Italian compose only SO paintings,
or II per cent of the total. The Ameri-
can school is represented by exactly II
paintings, or per cent. The italian
school, on the other hand, constitutes SO
per cent, or 45l paintings. Of these 45l
italian paintings, approximately 1865, or
80 per cent, are of a religious nature.
There are 100 Madonna and Child"
alone, more than the entire representa-
ton of the non-Italian schools.
have no quarrel with Italian art, as
such, but too much of anything is too
much, and it seems to me that, inasmuch
as the National Gallery will be a
cynosure for tourists from all over the
country, it should exhibit representa-
tive collection of paintings Why. for
instance, should the National Gallery
of the United States have only II paint
ings by American artists?

Answers Questions About
District Fairgrounds.

10 the Edltor OF Ine star:
BY way of reply to the letter from
Thomas E. Rhodes, in your issue of
April /. asking for help in solving the
Washington playground riddle, the fol-
lowing may be helpful: Prior to 1889
the recreational system in Washington
was divided into two groups, namely, the
Playground Department and the Com
munity Centers. These two groups were
highly efficient and operated under their
respective heads, and with a specially
trained and efficient personnel In 1889
the National Recreation Association in
conjunction with the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission pre-
vailed upon the District Commissioners
and the Board of Education to turn
everything over to the National Park
Service. That was done, and Lewis r.
Barrett, an employe of the National
Park Service, was put in charge as Co
ordinator" The National Park Service
is bureau of the Interior Department,
so Washington's Playground and Com
munity Center Departments, purely To-
cal in their nature and for the benefit
of the District, have been operated under
Federal control since 1899. Congress has
made appropriations for the Fairgrounds
and the community centers-and has
placed those appropriations in the hands
of the Commissioners and the Board
of Education-but they have been used
by the Interior Department, through
the National Park Service. The above
are the facts. AS to the question Of
authority" for so doing, that will have
to be answered by the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia and the
Board Of Education.

Pays Tribute to Heroism
OF Peoples of Yugoslavia.
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Yugoslavia, the land Of the Serbs, the
Slovenes and the Croats, is up in arms
against the military might OF Hitler.
The valor of these peoples has been
proved through the centuries on many
a battlefield
For several hundred years, in the time
of the Turkish danger. the Serbo- -Croats
were Europe's first line of defense. They
manned Austro Hungarys military
frontier along the Danube, ever ready
to stop or at least to delay the Ottoman
armies of invasion
During the Thirty Years War Q618-
1648 the Croats were among Wallen-
STEMS crack troops. During the first
World War the Serbs had to bear the
brunt of resistance to the Germans and
the Austrians.
Heroic incidents abound. Here is one:
In 1866 Sultan Soliman I, the Mag
nificent set out with a vast army for the
subjugation Of the West. Right in the
beginning. his progress was retarded by
the tiny fortress of Sziegetvar in South
ern Hungary, defended by Count Miklos
zrinyi and small garrison of Croats.
These, in the face Of an overpowering
force, held the place from August / to
September Z. When, finally, the Turks
made another assault, the Count blew
up the fort. The defenders, as we'll
as such attackers as had forced their
way in, perished to a man.
In our days, of course, 1t often is the
mechanical equipment that outweighs
the personal equation.
Nobody knows any too much. But we
all can do a lot Of guessing. Right
now note that the Croatian third of
Yugoslavia is in part pro-axis. More
guessing. 1t still is anybody's war-a
desperate gamble.
Naturally, these hard-bitten Yugo-
slav fighting men have the sympathy
of all those who believe that nations
and individuals should be permitted to
live in their own way, under their own
vine and fgtree, provided that they stay
within the law. FRED VETTER.

| to the belief that good Lawn is an excel
| lent thing, and that he or she who
achieves one is doing well by the land.
Do any of us really know anything
about lawn making?
The longer one tries to get one, the
surer he is that he knows very little, after
all.
Good seed is dependent on good soil
Good growth Is dependent upon fertil-
ity.
Growth and soil depend upon rainfall
or properly applied artificial watering.
Very few persons know much about
such processes, but that does not prevent
them from getting a good lawn.
By good lawn" no one means perfect
lawn. Just medium good lawn is good
enough for most.
There Is something mighty wholesome
about the reaction of the grass when
spring first comes along No matter how
many times we have watched it, it always
music Of Beethoven. Children and young
people are too full of the joy of the dis
covery of living to appreciate Beethoven.
They have to get older before they
realize how great his music is. Now, it
is something the same with the appreci-
alton of grass. Boys use grass, but they
never give it thought. They like to
skate on it with roller skates, about as
bad thing as you can do to grass in
early spring, but of course the youngsters
do not think about that.
Perhaps it is necessary to do that in
evitable thing, grow up, as it is called,
before getting really good appreciation
of the way grass responds.
This reaction, to sun and warmth
and water and fresh air, is one of the
perfect responses of the garden.
No amount of snowy blooms later in
the season outdo it.
This response of the grass, this turn
ing from gray or brown, with bit of
green here and there, into an-over green,
or at least an approach thereto. is to
many the supreme Joy of home garden
ing
That is why the early raking is essen
tial. 1t removes the litter of winter,
giving the rootlets chance to breathe.
The play of sunshine on the green of
the grass builds up all sorts of vitamins
in the blades.
Grass is more chock-fu of vitamins
than those intriguing little capsules dis
played on the druggists counter.
If you don't think so watch that rabbit
eating away.
He eats grass, and your flowers, later
on. and has more spring in his step than
lion or tiger, even. That is because all
the vitamins, in the last analysis, come
from vegetable matter Gods eat huge
quantities of minute sea plants, hence
their livers are full of vitamin A.
The lawn turning green before us is in
reality wonderful chemical laboratory,
as old as the hills, and as modern as
vitamin w, which really hasn't been
discovered" yet, only postulated.
