species, not because the English sparrows
need any defense, really, but simply be-
cause they are such interesting birds
Those persons who grow red in the
face every time they see one are de-
priving themselves of genuine interest
which might as well be theirs since they
are interested in bird life.
The first thing to get in mind is that
no one, except maybe Hitler, has any
right to draw up conception of Things
AS They Should Be According to Per-
sonal Taste
The rest of us will be content with
taking things as we find them without
trying too much to reform or change the
world
The little world of birdlife has been
going on too long for much change to
be made at this late date
The various species manage to get
along very well together They can give
many pointers to human beings. They
have their hawks, it is true, but these do
not bother other birds nearly as much
as some persons think. They much pre-
fer mice and rats.
4x
The starlings and the English SPAR
rows have taken their places very well
in American bird life.
Neither asked to be brought here. any
more than the Negro asked to be brought
here.
When one thinks of the terrible scenes
tho NJ Af,pa ,1,pa, hi
covering black people were brought TO
be loaded into ships, one must realize
what wonderful things they have achieved
in this country.
The English sparroWs and starlings
have known no slavery in this country,
but many persons speak against them,
somehow as if it were all their fault.
1t is questionable whether these birds
do all of the i'll that is spoken against
them. One may question whether many
American birds have really suffered from
them. Let us hope that our native birds
have more resistance than some folks
give them credit for having.
We believe that if English sparrovs
Ioil4C " SouI SdI lCll- especially III lIlt
cold, to eat at a bird feeding station
they should be welcomed.
The opportunity should be seized. in
order to study them, and to determine
for ones self whether the charges
brought against them are true.
The same may be said for the starlings
These are really marvellous birds. Those
who have studied them the closest can
tell you that they are wonderful singers
and flyers. Scarcely any bird race has
done what they have done in making
whole new migration routes in a strange
land.
II may be that some persons should
take tip from the cardinals, whom all
admire, and accept the English sparrovs
and starlings as part of the bird scene
whether they wish 1t that way or not; II
may be that in such tolerance they dc
their own souls good, as we'll as give aid
and succor to creatures whose being here
is certainly not their own fault.

Need for Action

It would be unfortunate if the
| surprising action Of the Traffic Sub
| committee of the House District Com
mittee in reviving the generally re-
| Jected suggestion for underground
parking centerS were to divert the
| committee from the important task
Of giving immediate and favorable
consideration to more feasible prof.
ectS holding real promise of reason
ably prompt traffic relief The sub
committees report, insofar as it
recommends surveys for Subter-
ranean garages in the Mall area,
certainly tends to divert attention
from the widely approved and eco
nomically sound Whitehurst plan for
municipality operated parking facili-
ties on the fringe of the downtown
section. This plan, advanced after
lengthy parking and traffic studies
by competent authorities, is pending
before the House District Committee
in the form of a bill indorsed by the
Commissioners. The bill provides
for creation of a parking agency
to establish and operate such parking
centerS and to develop and improve
other terminal facilities for auto
mobiles.
Before deciding to recommend the
fringe lot program, Highway Director
Whitehurst and his collaborators
gave expert consideration to under
ground parking centers and turned
them down because of the excessive
cost involved even if public land
were used. Although their report
referred only to underground ga
RACES, it is understood that they
found that extensive subsurface con-
Struction of any type, including sub
ways, would be too costly to warrant
serious study at this time in connec-
ton with traffic relief here. The
fringe parking bill has received the
approval of many civic and trade or
ganiZations, which see in it some hope
of early amelioration of Washing
tons defense-aggravated traffic and
parking troubles. If there are any
considerable interests opposed to the
plan, they have neglected to make
their opposition known publicly. The
House District Committee will be pre-
sented with rare opportunity to
pave the way for effective traffic re-
lief action when it formally considers
the fringe lot bill. Washington looks
to the committee to make. the most
of that opportunity by recommend
ing the bill to. the House without
delay.

Filling the home garden bird feeding
stations should be done regularly at 4
| o'clock in the afternoon, so that the
cardinals will find plenty to eat when
| they come.
The cardinals hour is between 4:30
| and $50 o'clock. Then it is no unusual
| thing to see between 10 and IL OF them,
most of them males, eating in the feeder
| and on the ground beneath.
In carrying out this chore the other
| day, We ran into blind sparrow.
AS we came up to the station with
pan of gram and seed, the bird did not
fly out, but remained standing on the
| seed that was left.
AS we came close, we saw that his
blind side was facing us.
This eye, the left, was sunken, and
glazed in appearance 1t probably had
been pecked by some other bird.
The sparrow - English - was not a
| young bird but seemed old. There are
| many culls among the younger sparroWs.
Often these are crippled, or seem to be
suffering from malnutrition.
We took cup of seed and slid it into
the tray of the feeding station.
1t was only when the sparrow felt the
| seed slithering around his feet that he
| flew away.
The flight was not far, just to nearby
stand of Boltonia. CThis is plant with
| tall stalks and white daisy-like flowers
| with yellow centers. Goldfnches like
the seeds
While the remainder Of the seed was
being poured in, the bird sat on the
plant, watching the performance with
its good eye This, the right, seemed as
good as any bird eye. 1t was quite evil
dent that the creature could see very
we'll with it.
No sooner had We gone a few feet from
the station than the one-eyed sparrow
few back to it and began eating fresh
seed
All the other birds except this one, Of
course, had flown away. Cardinals
| famed red in all directions, for their hour
was just beginning.
During the day there are always cardi-
| nails to be seen, but it is not until the
| hour just before dusk that all of them
| appear.
This is not because they are afraid
Of the other birds, or do not like the
| English sparroWs. Cardinals are rela-
| t1ves Of the sparrows. They are quite at
| home with them
One of the real reasons why no one
| should despise the English sparroVs is
| because the cardinals do not
These beautiful birds long ago put the
seal Of their lordly approval upon the
SparrowS. Surely they had always been
| kind to the song sparrows, and did not
the English birds belong to the family?

male or female. show the slightest re-
sentiment at the presence OF an English
sparrow.

Expresses Opposition to
"OutmOded" Strikes.
H. L. H
To the Editor OF The Sta

To the Editor OF The Star:
When walking through a business sec
ton of Washington recently, I noticed
some pickets, striding up and down be-
fore one of our chain store organizations.
My sympathies Immediately were evinced,
not for the parading strikers, but for the
concern that was being heckled so to
speak.
Why can't labor organizations see that
strikes are outmoded and psychologi-
cally wrong? believe fully in organiza-
ton and my sympathies usually are with
the wage Garner; but when I see vindic-
tive measures being used just naturally
am for the other side and I believe this
is true of most people.
I am sure the C. I. o. is getting to be
very unpopular for its selfish and vim
dictive measures.
I feel that the time has long past when
strikes should be tolerated; if they af-
fected only the employer and employe
it would not be so serious: usually 1t Is
the consuming public that is hurt most,
especially now when our defense program
demands that every one should stay on
his job
The time surely is here for passage
of a law against strikes Of any sort.
Embodied in that law should be plan
to adjudicate all differences between
employers and labor. Robot.

Remuining Ten Per Cent

Yesterdays report that approx
mately nine-tenths of the total
objective Of this years Community
Chest campaign has been achieved
was encouraging, but there should
be no thought of closing the drive
until the 10 per cent still remaining
to be raised has been subscribed.
Considering the demands which
are certain to be made upon the SO
welfare agencies Of the Chest during
1912, the goal of S2,OOOOOO originally
set probably was less than will be
needed. Washington is growing at
prodigious pace, and the city's prob
lens are increasing in both number
and compleXity. Even when the
whole scheduled amount has been
pledged, the money contributed must
be required to do double duty. Any
deficit, however small, would be a
concession that the community
simply cannot afford to tolerate.
One more campaign luncheon has
been arranged for Monday at noon.
If by that time the designated goal
has not been reached. the effort
should be continued until it is at
tanned. Other towns have not failed
their opportunities and responsible
tiles, and the Nations Capital must
be as generous and as dutiful toward
its poor, its sick, its distressed. its
lonely or discouraged people, its very
young and its very old as they.

its naval base Of Novorossiisk, can
be considered safe.
The effect of this first big victory
on the morale of the Russian people
should be heightened by the corre-
spondingly depressing effect upon
the Germans. 1t will also have po-
litical and diplomatic consequences
throughout the world. Unless the
Wehrmacht speedily effaces this de-
feat in the south, it will obviously
have lost its big double gamble by
stalking too much on Moscow and
failing to follow through in the
Ukraine. That would be a prestige
blow of no mean proportions.

Emergency Housing

In asking Congress to provide some
S15,000,0O0 to rectify the critical
housing shortage in the District, c. F.
Palmer, defense housing co-ordinator
of the Office for Emergency Manage
ment, has expressly recognized that
this is a Federal responsibility and
that private enterprise in the city
cannot be expected to deal with a
problem of such magnitude
Under normal conditions it would
be highly desirable that this work
be done by private builders. But ex-
listing conditions, as Mr.. Palmer
pointed out in his letter to Repre-
sentative Lanham, are far from
normal.
Thousands upon thousands of new
Federal employees have been brought
here to fill jobs created by the defense
program. And there is no reason to
suppose that the peak of this employ
ment has been reached. Many of
these new workers are in the low
income groups and most of them
may be expected to leave the Capital
when the defense activity comes to
an end and their services are no
longer required by the Federal Gov
ernment.
Hence, it is quite obvious that pri-
vate enterprise can not supply them
with homes-first, because so many
of these workers could not afford to
pay the rents that would have to be
charged to make the construction
work profitable, and, second, because
private capital would not be attracted
to field of building where the risk
of losing tenants after the emergency
is so great.
For these reasons, it is clear that
Mr.. Palmer is unquestionably right
in saying the local housing problem
can only be solved with Federal aid.
And, since it is so plainly a Federal
responsibility, Congress should not
hesitate to take the action urged by
Mr. Palmer.
If this is to be done, Congress, in
addition to providing funds for
building in the District, will have to
amend the Lanham Act to permit
employees Of the Federal Government
to be housed in projects erected
under the statute. And it may be
added, such an amendment should
be in express terms. In the Lanham
Act providing for the construction of
access roads to defense centers, under
which the District expected to re-
ceive $6,OOO,OOO, there existed an am
biguity in terms which was resolved
against the National Capital, with
the result that the local claim was
first denied and even now may be
recognized to the extent of only
about S2,OOO,000. If the pending

Human Power

Prime Minister Winston Churchill
has asked Parliament for authority
to draft women for war service. He
also wants permission to extend con-
scription to boys of 1872 and men
of so. In effect, his program for the
development of human power in the
present emergency amounts to uni
verSal enlistment of all persons
capable of helping to defend the
British nation against its Axis foes.
The meaning of Mr.. Churchills
proceeding is clear from his an
nouncement that it is necessary be-
cause of the stating of new factories,
the maintenance and expansion OF
military and naval operations in the
East, the supplying of Russia from
England, the prospective expansion
of the air force and the consistent
growth of the navy, and the protec-
ton of home territory against the
dangers of invasion and air raids.
If the emphasis which the Prime
Minister lays upon those activities
were to suggest that he is not con-
cerned with the staging of an ener-
getic offensive, the answer to the
criticism would be obvious. Time is
required for the preparation of such
drive against Germany as British
patriots long to see begun. At the
ctort of tho u,or II, tho o,,t,,,or IF
1899, England was not ready for
hostilities. Day by day since that
time she has been toiling toward
eventual victory in terms of a final
and deflnitive assault upon her
enemies. AS rapidly as so thor
oughgoing a Transformation of the
industrial establishment permitted,
new personnel has been engaged in
the task.
Mr.. Churchill, it repeatedly has
been limited, expects the crisis of the
struggle with the totalitarian agrees
SorS to come next year. 1t is in
anticipation of 1912 that he now
proposes a maximum endeavor to
organize human power. Total war
demands total cooperation. Ma
chimes need people to operate them.
Women will take the places of men
who can be spared from the produc-
ton line for work at the front. Even
children are being asked to volunteer
for training for the zero hour"
which will determine Britain's fate.
The significance of the gradual
! involvement of the whole population
OF England in national effort is
appreciated in America because it
represents the sacrifice of a COM
munity organized for freedom. In
order that Britons never may be
slaves, living generations of the
British race are Offering up their
liberty, their strength of mind and
heart, their whole capacity in the
interest of an ideal without which
