One of the most neglected phases
of poultry management is the sup
ply of drinking water for the flock,
says Harriet E. Cushman, extension
poultry specialist. In view of the
need for heavier egg production in
line with defense needs, the water
supply is one phase of management
that can be given more careful at
tention. Hens should have con-
slant supply of clean water, cooled
in summer and warmed in winter.
The need for plenty of fresh water
is evident when it is taken into
consideration that 70 per cent OF
an egg is water.
During the year ending June 30
farm foreclosure sales were the low
est in 7 years, according to the
Farm Credit administration.

No Such Animal

For countless years woman has
been dreaming Of the perfect hus-
band, only to wake up to the reali-
zation that there is no such animal.
The tantalizing thing about the
whole business is that each neigh
borhood always seems to have at
least one perfect husband, but in
variably he is married to some other
woman, and invariably she will be
forced to admit-or in some cases
almost forcibly have to be restrained
from admitting-that there is an
error somewhere, and the perfect
husband must be a couple Of other
lesser halves, but certainly not hers.
Yet in Toronto the other day a
wife quite publicly admitted owner
ship Of the perfect husband. HE
does everything for his family" she
said. He sees that we get what we
need, works around the house and
helps keep it in order. In short, he's
perfect. There must be some
mistake"
There was, madam" said the
Judge. He made it when he stole
ninety dollars from his employer,
and propose to correct 1t by donat-
ing thirty days Of his time to the
province. Next case, please, Mr..
Clerk" Thus was justice done
justice for Toronto husbands in gen.
eral, who will have an easier time
for the next month a4 least.

The Strike Beqins

The strike which began in the
captive coal mines today at the COM
mand of John L. Lewis presents an
inescapable challenge to the Govern
ment of the United States.
In these mines there are $500
men who do not belong to the United
Mine Workers of America. Mr..
Lewis says that they must be COM
PEELED to join, and to enforce that
demand he is prepared to wreck the
defense Of the Nation.
The President has said that the
Government will never compel these
niners to join the union because that
would be too much like the Hitler
methods toward labor" But he has
also said that the coal must be mined
and that he has an "indisputable
obligation" to see that this is done.
This Is no arbitrary stand that
Mr.. Roosevelt has taken. Philip
Murray makes the surprising dis
closure to the c. I. o. convention
that the President offered to send
individual letters to the $500 non
union miners urging them to Join the
union as patriotic duty" to avert
q showdown in the mines and that
ne also offered to endeavor to induce
the mine owners to grant main
senance OF membership" plan to in
sure security of the union. The
Policy Committee of the U. M. w.
It is reported refused to take official
cognizance of these offers. because
OF their informal character" with
ehe result that even this extraor-
dinary last-minute effort on the
Presidents part fell on barren
ground. as did all his previous efforts
10 conciliate Mr.. Lewis.
Thus, in this blunt fashion. is
the issue drawn. Mr.. Lewis. grown
strong under the protecting wing of
the Roosevelt administration, now
insists upon a trial Of strength with
the Government. In his mind the
compulsory unionization of $500
men Is more important than the de-
tense Of his country, and on that
issue he Is prepared to 60 to the mat
With the President.
From this challenge there is no
escape and the President should not
attempt to avoid it. If there was
ever any merit in Mr.. Lewis demand
tor the compulsory unionization of
the $500 non-union miners, it has
disappeared, along with that original
Issue itself, in the larger question
Of whether this Government can
ahoFd to capitulate to Mr.. Lewis. If
industrial peace were to be purchased
now by giving in to him there is no
assurance that he would not be back
later with new and sitter demands
On the contrary, the whole history
Of labor's organizational activities
points to the conclusion that these
new and higher demands would be
made.
Thus, If the Government is to
naiptain itself as Government, the
time has come for a showdown with
Mr.. Lewis 1t may lead to a costly
struggle, but it will be cheaper in the
long run than the price of sur
render to the union leaders i'm

is In action. the submarine is obliged
to use a torpedo, and torpedoes are
both costly and scarce.
To avoid boosting hopes that may
all too soon be dashed, the Navy
Department would do well to stress
the fact that the one real benefit in
arming merchant ships consists of
the protection that may be had
against aircraft. If enough rapid
fire guns can be placed aboard a
merchantmen, bombing attacks from
low attitudes can be made extremely
hazardous for the bombers, and to
that extent there Is real value to be
derived from the change in the Neu-
trality Act.
But for protection against sub
marines, we must still look to the
depth bombs carried by destroyers,
corvettes or other light craft. In the
long run the security of our trans
Atlantic conveys will be measured by
the numbers of these craft that can
be put into service.

Congressional Immunity

The ruling by which the House
Judiciary Committee rejected as in
valid the subpoena served on Rep
resentative Hamilton Fish may be
defensible on narrow technical
grounds, but it finds little support
in the logic Of the case.
A special District grand jury in
veStigating Nazi propaganda activi-
ties in this country issued the
subpoena for Mr.. Fish in the belief
that he might be able to give them
information which would be helpful
in their inquiry. The subpoena-a
standard form-directed him to ap-
pear before the grand jury ito tes-
tify on behalf of the United States,
and not to depart the court without
leave of the court or district at
torney"
Because of this phraseology, the
Judiciary Committee held the sub
poena to be violation of the "privi-
leges of the House." with the result
that Mr. Fish could not appear be-
fore the grand jury. Presumably
this conclusion by the committee
was based on the assumption that
the language Of the subpoena, In
theory at least, made it possible for
the court or District attorney to de-
tain Mr.. Fish indefinitely, thereby
interfering with his legislative du-
ties and the proper functioning Of
the House.
This is a line of reasoning which
seems far-fetched, to say the least.
In the first place, If the subpoena
did not carry the language in ques-
ton, or something similar to it, there
would be nothing to prevent any
witness from merely making an ap-
pearance and then leaving whenever
1t suited his convenience. And Sec
ondly, should a court or district at
torney in some highly improbable
circumstance attempt TO detain q
member of Congress beyond the time
legitimately required for the taking
OF his testimony, the House pos
sesses undoubted power to compel his
liberation.
In Mr.. Fish's case it is interesting
to note that he holds a commission
as colonel in the Reserves md has
departed the House for q t1o-week
tour of duty with the Army 10 the
lay mind, it is difficult to re where
in service with the armed forces
is less calculated to interfere with
the functioning of tho House than
! an appearance before the grand
Jury, and certainly II will not be con-
tended that Mr.. Fish's presence in
the Army is more important to tho
country than would be any eonti-
Evening star., 1941-11-17
Armed Merchantmen

With revision of the Neutrality
Act to permit the arming of mer-
chant ships, it is possible that the
public may look forward to meas
ure of security for these armed YES
sells which will not be possible of
realization under modern combat
conditions on the open seas.
The mere mounting of a gun
aboard a merchant vessel gives it
little if any real protection against
present-day submarines. With its
sound apparatus, a submarine can
locate and track down a merchant
ship or a convoy of ships without
ever showing its periscope. If it is
desired to select particular ship for
attack, the periscope may be raised
for about thirty seconds, but is i'm
mediately submerged again. In this
brief interval the gunners aboard
the merchant ship have practically
no chance of scoring hit, and even
II the periscope should be struck the
submarine is merely inconvenienced,
not put out of action.
Another obstacle to the success of
merchant gunners is the probability
that their ship will be attacked at
night. Submarines come to the sur
face and lie in wait for their vic
tins, but since they are certain to
submerge again before becoming
visible targets, and since shells won't
penetrate the water, the gun aboard
the merchantmen still serves little
purpose.
It has one tangible advantage,
however, in that the submarine, Tor
It's own safety, is compelled to attack
with torpedo. e the merchantmen
were unarmed, the sub might sink it
leisurely and inexpensively with
gunfre, or even with charge OF
dynamite. But 30 long Is the gun
