We Did Our Duty
Mr.. Edward Robinson, Editor

Dear Mr.. Robinson:

Once again our hats are off to
you for your fine community spirit
and the splendid support which
you gave in the Greater Seattle
Defense Chest campaign.
When a campaign succeeds as
this one did, 1t is because the pub
lie opinion is behind it. We believe
that there is no more potent fact
or in the city in establishing fav-
orable public opinion than the spe-
cial press, and we want you to
know that we are deeply grateful.
Cordially yours,

Resembling continents. Here hide

Libraries for the CopituI

Two important steps in the cultural
development of the National Capital
have just been announced. First is
the disclosure that plans for the in
itial unit of the new Public Library
have been approved and that bids
will be called for within a few days.
Second is completion of designs for a
monumental structure to house the
world-famous medical museum and
library of the Army.
OF utmost Importance to Washing
ton Is provision Of new and larger
building for the main library of the
Free Public Library system, one large
enough to give efficient service to
the thousands of readers who visit it
each year and adequately equipped
to maintain the growing number of
branch libraries This will be accom-
plished in the proposed project, al
though full realization must await
the erection of additional units. Lo-
Gated on Pennsylvania avenue a block
east of Seventh street, the first unit
will constitute one of the main ele-
ments of the Municipal Center which
is taking shape rapidly.
Across the Mall from the National
Gallery of Art is to be placed another
monumental structure, designed by
the architects Of the gallery, which,
Evening star., 1941-03-01

for the first time In its history, will
safely and adequately house the
Army's medical collections. These
include more than 100000 volumes
and an exhibit which is recognized
as the greatest of its kind in the
world. For many years these have
been kept in structure erected in
1887, inadequate in its facilities and
dangerous as fire hazard.
1t had been hoped the medical
building would be one of the prin-
cipal specialized library and museum
units which the President has sug-
gested for relocation on East Capitol
street, but immediate availability of
sites and the necessity for early con-
Struction made the Mall location
more desirable, in the opinion of the
planning authorities. 1t is gratifying
that these permanent, peace time
additions to the Capitals plan have
not been lost sight of in the welter
of more spectacular demands of an
emergency period.

Dated Dollars

The latest fiscal panacea to see the
light of day is the brain child of a
California squash grower, Roland
Casad. Briefly, he wants the Treas
ury to date it's product, the dollar,
and, when it gets too stale, to de-
clare it null and void and print
fresh one to take its place. He calls
this the disappearing dollar" Mr..
Casad's only previous venture on the
public stage took place in 1885, when
he announced his candidacy on the
mo party" platform and won moral
victory when he was nominated by
no party.
The scheme appeals little to the
average man, who is all too familiar
with the sad phenomenon of the dis
appearing dollar. What he wants is
the appearing dollar, if possible, or
at any rate one that will last rea-
sonable length of time, say from one
pay day to the next, without unac-
countably vanishing. Durability, not
disappearance, are his requirements
for a really good dollar. Disappear
ance, he thinks, may be all right when
practiced by magicians on rabbits in
hats, but he wants them to stay on
the stage and not move into the
Treasury for the purpose of making
dollars disappear from pockets.

As of 1941 we could use our present
military power to deliver the military
products of our factories where they are
needed, knowing that any losses would
be made up a hundred times over by
1945.
The coincidence of these time factors
give US great opportunity. We could
act vigorously today because as of today
we are not in any military danger. If
by the addition of our weight the demo-
cratic side should win, we could go back
to a one-ocean Navy and a standing
Army and save ourselves billions of dol
lars and presumably an eventual war. If
the democratic side should lose in spite
of our effort, we still could count on
deep along the length of our coasts
before German Navy could be organ
lied to challenge our Navy.
Reasoning in terms of strategy over a
period of four years instead of one year,
we have nothing to lose and everything
to gain by action. Any present losses
would be insignificant in comparison to
what we can produce when our assembly
lines are in full operation, without
hindrance by any opposing power.
In 1898 it did not matter what we did.
Spain was a minor power which we were
sure of defeating. In 1941 it does matter
what we do. We will be surest of ulti-
mate victory if we act while there still
is another major power on our side.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. Trdce,peIl.

1t is said that a mistake in coloring
an early picture of this finch gave him
his name Of purple finch.
Today it is held better to call him
raspberry red than purple.
The male bird has the power of
rufling the feathers or his head until
they resemble a crest, which has led
some persons to think they have seen
baby cardinal" in winter. Or they
call it "a small cardinal"
This apch has naturally rowing dis
position, and is always on the go, so
that usually it remains in one place
only few days and seldom comes back
to the same place again.
x* Il Il
Before maturity the purple finch is
some times mistaken for song sparrow
Altogether, this is bird worth watch
ing for, and you will have to look sharp
if you want to see him, because at times
he seems to be nothing more than
sparrow, which, of course, he is, but
with difference
If you are fortunate you will notice
at once his coloring. There is a touch
of magenta to it, which might have
given justification for the word purple
in describing him.
Purple firch he is, however, as far as
everyday nomenclature goes. He has
been called that so long that there is
not much chance now that he will ever
be called anything else
After all if noakeS M djFarppco JUIo
counts is tc see him on his infrequent
| visitations.
They like perennial borders and will
eat seeds put in feeding stations, espe-
cially If the latter are elevated.
Two or three of these birds in a small
feeder is a sight to make you catch your
breath if you happen to be in that mood.
You will know instantly, If they are in
color, that these are no ordinary SPAR
rows.
If you have never seen them before
you will go running to your bird books
to find out about them.
1t was John Burroughs, we believe.
who said that it looked like a brown
OAAN NAPPSN III POhCDCLIy dIlQ
is very good description.
The bird has very heavy round bill,
useful to it in eating noxious seeds,
plant lice, canker worms and ground
beetles. It also consumes hundreds of
cutworms, thereby putting the home
| gardener much in its debt.
1t will eat the seeds of such trees and
shrubs as tulips, mulberries, beech, thorn
apple, grape, ash, elm and sycamore.
1t is red-letter day in any garden
when the purple finch is first seen.
His visit will be all the more ap-
preciated, perhaps, because he does not
stay long, hut flies away to the spring
nesting. The nest is usually made in an
| evergreen tree, from 5 to 80 feet high,
and holds from to greenish eggs
| spotted with brown.

Automobile Inspection

While there is no way of de-
termining accurately what part
Washington's automobile inspection
system may play in preventing acci-
dents, official findings during the
first two years of operation of the
inspection law leave no room for
doubt as to the value of the system
as safety measure. The revelation
that approximately $500 vehicles
were ordered from the streets in that
period because they were completely
unsafe" and that more than half of
the total of 288,433 cars examined
were rejected on the first inspection
as defective, is sufficient evidence Of
need for this type of vigilance by
traffic authorities. Every automobile
with defective brakes, tires, lights or
steering apparatus is potential in
strument of injury or death, not only
to it's driver but to others who use
the streets Thus, the periodic in
spections are, in the end, safety in
surance for the motorists and the
general public alike.
Inspectors at the two testing sta
tions report that most of the motor
lists seem to approve of the program.
Nationally, compulsory automobile
inspection has attained wide popu-
larlty, with additional States yearly
joining the list of those requiring
mechanical soundness of vehicles.
In view of the success of the car
testing plan, it is logical to believe
that a periodic examination of
drivers would be a further step to-
ward accident reduction. The mere
fact that a driver once is given a
permit to drive is no assurance that
he will be qualified physically to
operate car indefinitely. Man, like
the machine, can suffer loss of eff
cheney, and since both are vital fac
tors in the safety problem, precau-
tionS should be taken to see that
drivers as we'll as automobiles are
capable of functioning properly at all
times.

Jopon and Indo-Chinu

Japan's ultimatum to the French
to yield to Thailand extensive areas
of the Indo-China provinces of Cam
bodia and Laos, or suffer "forceful
action" by japanese armed forces,
expired last midnight without reply
The Toxic foreign office planned
conference of key officials, including
military and naval authorities, Tor
today, at which, presumably, Japans
next move will be considered and
course of action adopted.
French authorities at Saigon have
ordered air raid precautions in OBJ
vious expectation that conditions
NAV take a grave turn. From the
home governm 1T at Vichy the latest
word is simply that it has reached a
decision. While there is no inkling
of the conclusions at which Marshal
Petain and his advisers arrived, it
would seem that they have deter
mined to stand firm against japanese
turbulence.
According to accounts of negotia-
tions before the deadlock, Japan
proposed that Indo-China award
-Thailand thirty per cent of the lat
ters claims. The Thai delegates were
prepared to settle on that basis, but
the French refused to concede more
than ten per cent. The agreement
concluded with Toxic last September
admitted japanese troops to Indo-
China and allowed them to establish
air bases for use against China. In
return, Japan agreed to respect Indo-
China's integrity. The French con-
tend that acquiescence in Foreign
Minister Matsuoka'S present demands
for cession of thousands of square
miles of Cambodia and Laos to Thai
land would in effect turn over Indo-
China to the Japanese, despite trans
fer of the territory in question
nominally to Thai sovereignty. The
Toxic press describes the demands as
"just and fair" and threatens that,
unless the French submit, "a whole
sale settlement will be enforced at a
stroke"
Thus, Japan's aggressive purposes
are unabashed. In pursuance of her
far-reaching designs in Southeastern
Asia, she does not shrink from pro-
voking a situation which will in
evitably lead to critical developments.
That Japan aspires to establish her
self in Indo-China as the spearhead
sof an eventual drive toward the
Dutch East Indies and Singapore Is
mot to be doubted. Nor is 1t unlikely
that recent consultations between
the Japanese Ambassador in Berlin
and the Nazi government betoken
German encouragement of the Far
Eastern axis partners Vaccinations.
They provide the first test for exhi-
sbition of Japan'S ability to establish
that new order in ASIA" which has
been allotted as her role in the Ber-
GlinR Rome-Tokio triple alliance.

land naval activities with respect to
Undo China indicate q readiness to

Discusses Differences
In the World of 1898 and 1941.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In 1893 every city on the Atlantic sea-
board demanded a squadron of battle
ships to protect it against the threat of
three obsolete Spanish cruisers. In l941,
if the possibility of war is discussed,
many city dwellers evidently believe
enemy planes would fly the Atlantic to
bomb them and many enemy subma-
rines emerge off the coast to shell them.
In 1898 the danger to the United States
was zero. In l941 the danger to the
United States as of 1941 is zero. But
the similarity as of 1941 only emphasizes
the potential difference as of 1946-a
difference that could not be greater.
Spain was a minor and a waning
power. Germany is a major power.
Should Germany be victorious in the
Eastern Hemisphere in l941, it will be
the most rapidly rising power in history.
The risk to us as of l941 is zero because
our strategical position is totally differ
ent from that of Britain. No part Of our
territory is within range of any air base
which could be seized and held without
first defeating our Navy. We have no
line of vital sea communications vulner-
able to submarine attack.
But those who assert us to be perma-
nently impregnable by reason of geo.
graphical distance alone are as far wrong
as those who imagine that, in case of
war, enemy airplanes would start next
day bombing New York City. They are
fiek, of ~
could not imagine panzer divisions and
dive bonbers.
Americans invented the assembly line
and developed it to high efficiency in in
dustrial production. But there seems
today to be little confidence in our abil-
ity to attain equal success in military
production. If there were, clearer evalu-
alton of the strategical situation would
be possible. In the assembly line lies a
strategical opportunity. The opportun-
ity exists because a productive time
factor is matched by naval time factor.
We know that it will take some two
years before our military production
reaches full volume. The matching time
factor is the period required to construct
and organize naval power superior to our
naval power. While our Navy is superior
not tank nor an airplane of an enemy
can operate from any base on the shores
of North America.
For some four years, therefore. we are
as safe as if there were not totali-
tartan in the world. And in four years,
if we have any confidence in our ability
to produce in volume, we can be turning
out tanks and aircraft by the thousands.

accept the axis obligation imposed
upon her, though it is obvious that
should they evoke combined French,
Dutch and British opposition, Tokio's
war lords will have undertaken a
task more difficult to shoulder than
they may have imagined. Meantime,
all that can momentarily be said is
that possibly imminent events in the
Gulf Of Siam and in the region of
the Malaysian peninsula are loaded
with explosive possibilities which
may turn the South Pacific into a
theater of war of incalculable ramifi-
cations.
