WITH all this news of death
w in the sky and in the earth
beneath and the waters under
the earth, there would seem TO
be no place for sentimentalists,
none to heed their voice, none TO
mourn with them the loss of a
treasured past.
This is the hour of the practi-
cal man, the doer of deeds, the
man of power and precision; the
man who can put aside the fra
GRANGE and the tears of misty
yesterday. to clear the way for
today-a high noon of power, of
fulfillment, of will and urgency
which knows neither sentiment
nor regret neither dawn nor
dusk.
We ask a moments indulgence
of today for a sentimental yes
terday. An exquisitely sweet
and poignant soprano voice
searches the heart of a great
throng in a gas-lit auditorium
men in broadcloth and brocaded
waistcoats and women in crino-
line and lace.
The beautiful, young, sunny
haired singer in diaphanous
white is Jenny Lind, the
Swedish nightingale. She sings
the song of a wanderer whose
heart has come back to the
homeland. John Howard Payne.
There is silence, then a sob
and then men and women weep
ing as they surge toward the
platform, trying in an ecstacy- of
tears to offer their hearts trib-
ute to the singer. Thus Home.
Sweet Home was launched to
American firesides, to the little
red schoolhouse, to generations
of Americans and all who may
come hereafter, to have and to
hold as the song of their hearths
and their hearts.
ND so, in this day of ruined
"A or crumbling Shrines, they're
going to tear down Castle
Garden. where Jenny Lind sang
Castle Garden, which became
the Aquarium.
Robert Moses, New York
park commissioner, finds it in
the way of his dive under the
sea with his Battery-to- Brooklyn
tunnel. He ridicuies the build
ing which looks like a half
sunken gas tank" and. chides
those who are 'woozy with
sentiment" as they oppose its
removal.
Mr.. Moses has been furiously
3 remaking New York and its
environs for many years now,
for the most part with mag
nificent effect. His countless
new boulevards and parkways
enable us to gain the speed of
the lightning in running away
from our past. From much of
it we ought to run away and
much of it is well forgotten.
RUT there are sentimentalists
~ among us-and / believe
that someone will some day
write an eloquent defense of
sentimentality - who like to
come home again once in a
while, no matter how far afield
our new parkways may take us.
There is landscape of the past,
in which there may be beauty
and peace. as the people of Eng
land know, and that is why they
so bravely defend their affairs
and their shrines.
There was grand gala re-
ception at Castle Garden in 1924
when the Marquis de Lafayette
returned to take an account of
the young America which he had
helped to bring TO secure state

Politics in Crashes?

THE recent series of commercial air line disasters in
the United States should give impetus to the
movement in Congress for investigation of the civil
aviation program of the federal government.
The latest of these disasters has just occurred in
Georgia with appalling loss of life including the death
of member of Congress.
And in this connection, an astonishing fact cannot
be ignored.
Five major air line tragedies have occurred SINCE
THE AIR SAFETY BOARD WAS ABOLISHED under
the presidential reorganization powers which deprived
the civil aeronaucs authority of independent status
and returned it to its former place in the department

Back Door of Balkans Is Reinforced Against Pos-

Intimate Settlement Re- gdrding Greek 0ues-
 tion Has Been Made

BELGRADE, March 20.-The Bri- tish are reported to have landed great numbers of troops yesterday at Salonika, back door of the Bal kans and likely to be the first cb- jective of any German thrust into Greece.
 This is understood to be the first appearance of British forces at Salon ika, although the disembarkirlg force l is expected to total 300,O00 men who have been under way for several days to five ports in southern Greece. Accounts say the landing troops at Salonika brought along vast sup plies of gasoline
 Berlin dispatches reaching Bel grade asserted the Greek question is already settled but failed to say just what kind of settlement had been made.
 Germans added, however, "only short time must elapse before this conflagration which had threatened to engulf other Balkan states will be extinguished"
 Additional advices from Berlin de- clared further that Turkish -Yugo- slav questions were now settled, but they too were without explanation.
 An uncomfirmed report from the Albanian frontier said that Greek forces that have been hammeving Tepelini since mid-December fin ally had entered and were taking many Fascist prisoners and quan- titles of Italian war material

WASHINGTON = When Harry Hopkins, reported to Roosevelt that the most urgent British need is cargo ships, he started 2 series of moves that are destined to have far-reaching consequences on U. S. shipping.
 In process behind the scenes IS the establishment of tie-up be- tween the U. s. Maritime Commis- sion and the British Ministry or Shipping. under which the mer- chant fleets of both nations will in effect operate as a single coordin- ated unit. That is. British bottoms will be withdrawn from Pacific and African routes and U. S. ships will take their place.
 This would give the British some cargo vessels desperately needed to carry the war materials soon to pour from the U. S., and at the same time enable the U. s. to ob- tain rubber chromite, tungsten, wool, and other strategic commodi- ties without being dependent on British ships.
 However, while the advantages are apparent, the plan will entail some drastic changes in the con- trol of U. S. shipping.
 The British war government now has an iron grip on all its ship ping. They first tried to regulate their merchant fleet by licensing or priority, system; but this soon

By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, March 20. = With the lease-lend bill out of the way, the cry of small manufac- turers located away from the east ern seaboard to get in on defense contracts is almost sure to rise to roar.
 Already it is lusty shout in Washington. Even now congress- men and Senators are stuffing cot- ton in their ears as they try to understand pleas from small in- duStrialists.
 The other day sat in the of flee of an Army colonel into whose lap is dumped a large number of the prospectuses and catalogs that descend on the Army.
