Ready to Testify

The scheduled appearance Of Rep
resentative Hamilton Fish on We'd
nesday before special District
grand jury investigating propaganda
activities in this country should
bring to a satisfactory conclusion
controversy which originally seemed
to carry disturbing implications.
The original grand jury subpoena
served on Mr.. Fish was held invalid
on the ground it violated the "privi-
leges of the House" Before this
matter had been adjusted. Mr.. Fish
left on a tour of duty with the Army,
in which he holds a Reserve COM
mission, and the grand jury recessed.
Thus, for a time, it appeared that
the jurors might have to make their
findings without benefit of testi-
mony from the Congressman.
This unfortunate prospect has
been avoided, however, by Mr.. Fish's
announcement of his readiness to
testify, and both the New York
Representative and the law enforce
ment authorities may properly find
cause for qualification in this turn
of events.

Judicial impeachment

A deplorable weakness in the Fed
eral judicial system has been barred
by the testimony of Justice Jackson
In behalf of legislation to establish
new Impeachment procedure by pro-
viding for trial by special three
Judge courts, designated by the Chief
Justice of the United States, when
Federal judges are accused of mis-
conduct, instead of bringing these
cases before the bar of the Senate
after the House has approved prose-
cution.
Appearing at a Senate Judlcl-
sry Subcommittee hearing on the
bill which has passed the House,
Justice Jackson said there were sew
eral occasions during his service as
Attorney General when removal pro-
ceedings against members OF the
bench were warranted, but that
nothing was done because impeach-
ment was not regarded as feasible
or possible. Both Justice Jackson
and his successor, Attorney General
Biddle, cited the case of former Cir
cult Judge J. Warren Davis, who has
lust resigned while facing impeach-
ment after two inconclusive trials on

SoueIchinq the Lobbyists

It is gratifying that the President
has publicly given his Endorsement
to the effort now being made to
expose and curb the reprehensible
activities of former Government
officials said to be enriching them
selves by selling their Influence" to
applicants for national defense con-
tracts. II full investigation OF this
evil is conducted. certain individuals
who have had close relations with
the White House NAV be caught in
the dragnet. but the Presidents
statement makes it clear that the
administration will make no effort
TO Thield them.
During their period Of service with
the Government these ofncials-now
lobbyistS-were able to establish
contacts and acquire a familiarity
with departmental procedures which
have had a cash value for them in
private life. This has been so be-
cause businessmen in search Of Gov
ernment contracts have believed
possibly with considerable justifica-
tion-that these "nxers" were in a
position to secure special favors for
them. provided a suitable price could
be agreed upon. and the businessmen
in many cases have not been disposed
to quibble about the size of the fee.
Yet this, on its face is an uncon-
scionable racket" Defense con-
tracts should be awarded strictly on
the basis of the contractors ability
to perform and the price to be
charged. Certainly. there is no rea-
son whatsoever why the Government
should have to pay something extra
to Offset a lobbyists fee in order to
get its defense orders placed. and
the extent to which this has been
done in the past is matter In which
the taxpaying public has very le-
gitimate interest.
Principal credit for the corrective
steps which are being taken should
go to Senator Hatch of New Mexico,
who has introduced legislation to
prohibit any person who has been
employed by the Government from
"practicing" before any department
or agency for two years after leaving
the service. The Truman committee
Of the Senate. which has been in
vestigating defense expenditures, is
expected to take up the Hatch meas
ure in the near future and to inquire
into the circumstances leading up to
Its introduction.
II this investigation is conducted
with the same vigor which has char
acterized other aspects Of the COM
mittee's work, it may be expected to
put an end to some thoroughly un-
American practices on the part of
persons who have taken shameful
advantage of positions of trust they
once held with the Government.

VALUE OF INcONsPICU0Us SERVICE
By the Right ReU JAMES E. FREEMAN, D. d. ILL., d. D. c. l.,

These are the days OF large things,

Until recently. we talked in terms of
millions, but today We have taken a step
forward and now talk in terms of billions.
Business itself Is using new Technology
and vast combinations in industry, in

terprises and eliminated competition.

not a disposition to render the worth of

lose sight of the fact that it was the
integrity and courage of the individual
soldier that In the last analysis gave
the victory.
We cannot all be miracle workers: We
cannot all be "top-liners'; We cannot all

it is well that this is so. Life would be
an unlivable thing if all men were

73 Days Short

At the present moment the Com
munity Chest campaign of 1941 is
approximately 80 per cent successful.
That means. in effect, that the drive
has fallen short of its goal by one
fifth Of the total sum needed In
terms of calendar mathematics,
T"Nov enouch has been subscribed
to ca"rv tl3n co-onerating agencies Of
tho city thrcvch 90 days. The
deficit ar~~o-,iTla ten end half

Eut no resident of Washington
would be willing to have sick child
wait 73 days to be admitted to
hospital or an evicted family wait
70 days for shelter. Delay in at
tempting the solution of compelling
human problem often represents the
difference between a solution and
failure. Life itself admits of no in
terruptiOnS. The Community Chest
must function constantly, its con-
stituent agencies must be consistently
active.
It follows then that the support
of the whole population Of the Dis
trict Of Columbia is required. Those
who have not pledged anything at
all are asked to send in their sub
scriptions Immediately and those
who have offered less than they rea-
sonably can afford are invited to in
crease their help.
Since this years campaign started
there have been number of develop
mentS which have served to
strengthen the natural appeal Of the
Communitv Chest. One incident has
stressed thu Importance Of work for
the blind. 2nother the significance
Of character building enterprises.
But perhaps most impressive Of all
is the growing realization of the
privilege of being residents of a free

fellowship and mercy without let or
hindrance. We Americans. we

more, it is not unusual for players to
take time out between moves to

extravagant imagination can by any
stretch liken it to blitzkrieg.
Perhaps Moscow chess is different.
1t seems probable that some changes
have been made, especially in the
powers Of kings, queens and bishops,
even II they have not been entirely
abolished. A streamlined version
may be played in the shadow OF the

be derived. But If this Is not the

End of on Adventure

The Italian conquest Of Ethiopia
was gamble from the start. It
began as far back as 1870 when an
Italian company bought from local
sultan the port of Assab at the
southern entrance of the Red Sea.
Other nations were seizing large
areas in Africa at that time, and
Italy. newly organized as kingdom,
wanted a share of the spoils. The
methods first employed were peace
full but by 1887 clashes between Ital-
ian troops and Abyssinians had taken
place, the results Of such bloody in
cidents as that at Dogali being to
confirm Italian determination to
hold the territories progressively
occupied. Real conflict. in the full
meaning of the word, broke out in
1895 and at Amba Alagi. Makale
and Abba Garima near Adowa the
Italians suffered costly setbacks
which led to temporary recognition
of Ethiopian independence in 1896.
But the struggle did not cease with
the signing of the treaty of the last
mentioned year. Rather, it was con-
tinued surreptitiously until the open
resumption of hostilities at Wal Wal
on December S, 1884 Meanwhile,
Russian, French, British and even
American influence had been exerted
upon the Emperors Menelek, Lei
Yasu, Tafari and Halle Selassie.
What finally prompted Benito Mus
solini to attempt a final seizure of
the whole of Abyssinia remains a
matter of conjecture. Some writer's
insist that Italy had a legitimate
grievance against the Adds Ababa
government: others with equal ardor
argue that the enterprise was merely
a Fascist crime against an innocent
people. Ethiopia appealed to the
League of Nations for help in Janu-
ary, 1895. A committee Of fve,
appointed by the League, proposed
an adjustment which Abyssania

were spoken in the by-ways and on the
highways where men and women toiled.
1t was said of Him that, He knew what

knowledge that made Him the incom-
parable Master of men,
His example needs to be reproduced in
the life of the church today. There are
multitudes of men and women, both in
and out OF the church, who have come
to feel that they have no place of stand
ing, because they can perform no miracle,
either in the matter of service or that of
giving. The very bigness of modern
undertakings renders their service. to
their way of thinking, both inconspicu-
Gus and of little value. This is a mis-
taken conception and the time is at hand
for the larger recognition of the value
of humble and inconspicuous service.
The church. society and industry can
only function through the "efectual
working Of every part" The Master said
of a humble woman: She hath done
what she could What more could
be asked?
We can only rise to a position Of use
funcr, through the clear recognition of
our individual responsibilities and obi
gaticns, and the discharge Of them TO
the full extent of our ability. There Is
little use of our trying to work miracles
when We can only do the commonplace
thing What We need to emphasize to-
day is not so much the value OF the
unusual service as of the commonplace.
The fact that John did no miracle did
not hinder him in being the Way-preparer
for the Miracle Worker.
There is a mighty lesson in this for
every one of us, a lesson that has its
application to every form of our lndivid-
ual and corporate life. We have always

agreed to negotiate, but II Duce chose
war on October 3. The League then
condemned Italy as an aggressor and
attempted to impose financial and
economic sanctions against the
Fascist power.
Such boycott as that proposed by
Geneva. however. was infeasible Of
successful application. Despite a
personal appeal by Halle Selassie,
the League raised its ban in July,
1896, by which date Marshal Bado-
Clio and General Graziani had
brought most of Ethiopia under sub
lection The Italians. it must be
admitted, attempted to justify their
possession Of the country Money
was poured into public works. Roads
were constructed. Hospitals and
schools were built. A social program
of reform was put into operation.
There was hope for lasting general
benefit for the native population.
Yet even the best and most notably
generous effort was vain once Musso-
lini had joined Hitler as an active
ally, June II, 1910. A British expedi-
tionary force compelled the surrender
OF the Duke OF Aosta at Amba Alagi

the difficulty of removing judges un-

Of so doing.
This is an unhealthy situation

there is the slightest suspicion that

should be possible to take prompt,
decisive action to prove or disprove
the charges, but that cannot be done
with the time consuming, cumber-

so deeply about this matter that he
adopted the unusual course of ap-

re-created the same old problem OF 1e-
payment of those loans. The only large
scale way that foreigners can obtain
dollars to pay on their debts is through
sale of their goods in this country. 1t
remains to be seen whether Congress.
under pressure group interests, is going
to be any more ready to permit huge
inflow of foreign goods in the future
than 1t was in the past.
This all adds up to the fact that the
problem of debt is intimately related to
the winning of the present war and to
the sort of economic adjustment that
comes out Of the war. Certainly. if this
