up his claim to celebrity in the words:
"A dignified serenity is the most
marked characteristic of his works.
Their beauty depends as much upon
the loving and dreamy expression in
the faces as upon the refinement of
form. This quality imbues
his sacred pictures with a peculiarly
religious grace"
When the new National Gallery of
Art, given by the late Secretary Of
the Treasury Andrew w. Mellon, is
opened to the public, Luini will be-
come definitely a part of Washington.
His Portrait Of a Lady" dated about
1915, is among the most magnetic
gems of the donors collection.
Meanwhile, the Phillips Memorial
Gallery temporarily is showing a
Madonna and Child With Infant
st. John" lent by the Duveen Broth
ers of New York. Those who take
both masterpieces into their expert
ence will realize that the Lady" and
the Madonna" are the same lovely
model. Who she was may be un-
known, but how profoundly the
painter adored her is obvious.

Corner in Oats

In times past corners IN grain
we're fairly common. A group. of
capitalists, most of whom had never
seen a bushel of wheat in the raw.
would band together and buy up all
they could find in grain exchanges
all over the Middle West. They
accumulated an imposing array of
warehouse receipts, options on
future crops and other bits of white
paper, which they later exchanged
for Uncle Sans green paper when
the country got hungry enough to
pay their price. 1t was no game for
pikerS, and because the table stakes
were high, no player could sit in
without first ante-ing up hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
In sharp contrast is recent
corner in oats, consummated on far
less capital-three scents, to be
exact-subscribed by trio of skunks
that got into a carload of oats at
Minneapolis. The consignee, after
one horrlfled glance, refused to
accept the shipment, citing a clause
in the contract against foreign
material" although they were OBJ
viously good strong American skunks
and not foreigners. Prove your
claim" insisted the consignor, some
miles distant. Produce the skunks,
and let them speak for themselves"
Neither by the volunteer system nor
by CONSUMPTION could this be done,
so wire was sent to grain head
quarters in Chicago asking who
owned the wild oats. Solomon him
self could not have decided more
wisely. Chicago replied that un-
doubtedly they belonged to the
Skunks.

A Painter of Distinction

One Of the great names which
Washington is destined to know in
the years which lie ahead is that of
Bernardino Luini. He was the fore
most of the pupils of the famous
Leonardo da Vinci, and critics now
think of him as the noblest of the
artists who worked at Milan-the
Lombard School. Born in a village
on Lake Maggiore about 1475, he was
perhaps twenty-five years the junior
of the master who created THE Last
Supper" and Mona Lisa; but even
the casual student sees at a glance
that he was pupil worthy of such
mighty teacher. Fortunately for
those who count 1t a privilege to
admire his genius, he was tireless
in his productivity and, surely be-
cause he was painter of the rarest
distinction during the whole of his
career, his frescoes and canvasses
have been protected and preserved.
Luini also may have been instructed
by Ambrogio Vorgognone. In any
event, he was not merely beginner
when he came to Da Vinci. Proof
of his right to associate with Leon
ardo of Florence may be found in
many portraits salvaged from
churches in the neighborhood for
permanent exhibition in the Brera
Gallery in Milan. They admittedly
belong to his earlier and immature
period" yet they are character
istically drawn. With the same
pencils and brushes he embellished
a long list of religious buildings.
continuing his activity in this field
of art until his death about 1888.
Meanwhile, he also brought to per-
fection his skill as an easel painter.
His pictures, numerous but never
hastily executed, are scattered from
Leningrad in Russia to San Diego
in California. Irma Richter, with
woman's incisivs intelligence, sums

prevailing thought in the English Parlia-
ment was hostile to monopolies There
fore 1t became the law of England that
any agreement. combination or confed-
Grafton by body of men to do or refrain
from doing anything tending to restrain
trade or increase the cost of living was
illegal. The courts held that agreements
among workmen to strike for higher
wages were illegal. AS the Colonies, and
later the States, adopted the common
law of England, this rule of law and its
Interpretation were in force here How
ever, as no part of the common law
became part of the laws of the Federal
Government, Congress passed the Clay
ton and Sherman Acts covering the same
field, but limited to interstate commerce
As the labor movement in England and
the United States gained momentum. our
courts, by one device or another relaxed
their rules in respect of labor unions
BY the close of the Civil War. it was
lawful for workmen to organize bargain
collectively and go on strike for any
cause they pleased From this point
until the enactment of the Wagner Act.
the labor struggle was pointed toward
the establishment of the closed shop
the principal implications of which are
that the unions select persons to be hired
and fired. impose initiation fees. dues
and assessments, and require the en-
ployer to deduct the same from the en-
ployes' pay envelopes. Anti-injunction
legislation. the Wagner Act and the scope
of interstate commerce. as interpreted
by the courts and Labor Board, have
just about made the closed shop, and all
that goes with it, compulsory.
From his public expressions and ac-
tions it appears that Mr.. Arnold believes
labor unions are now using a sword for
aggression instead of a shield for protec-
ton; that they are engaged in monopo-
lstic practices. restraining trade and in
creasing the cost of living. Does this
mean that Mr. Arnold is kidding him
self and the public or does it mean that
he is ahead of trend proving that our
labor philosophy has been travelling in a
circle instead of a straight line? Are
the actions of labor unions again to
become amenable to law? Will the well
fare of workingmen again be placed in
competition with the general welfare?

Suffrage Subcommittee

District residents have cause for
qualification over the appointment
by Chairman Frederick Van Nuys
of the Senate Judiciary Committee
of five outstanding members of the
Senate as a subcommittee to con-
slider the vitally important Capper-
Summers national representation
amendment. Heading the Subcom-
mittee is Senator Pat McCarran OF
Nevada, a lawyer and former juriSt
of distinction. Senator McCarran's S
service as a member of the Senate
District Committee has helped to
familiarize him with the problems
peculiar to a diSfranchiSed, unrepre-
sented Washington. Working with
him on the subcommittee will be
such able colleagues as Senators Tom
Connally of Texas, Carl A. Hatch of
New Mexico, George w. Norris of
Nebraska and Warren R, Austin OF
Vermont.
Senator McCarran has promised
that full and complete hearings will
be held at an early date and that
the Capper- Summers bill will not be
permitted to die in a pigeonhole for
want of further action by the COM
mittee. The proposed amendment
to the Constitution would empower
Congress, in its discretion, to give
the District representation in Con-
greSS and in the Electoral College
and to delegate to such municipal
government as it might approve the
power it deemed advisable. With
characteristic forthrightnesS, Sena-
tor McCarran has announced that
he will take up this proposal with
an open mind. And that is all that
Washingtonians ask for, or have a
right to expect. They are confident
that, given fair opportunity to
state their case. they can convince
any open-minded legislator-or Leg
islature-of the justice of their
cause.

Complains Against Policy
OF Wasteful Spending.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Jesse Jones is reported to have stated
to the House Currency and Banking
Committee that we're in the war; at
least, we are nearly in the war-we are
preparing for it. When you do that,
you've got to throw money away"
The only thing new about this is the
frankness of the statement. The New
Deal has been throwing away the money
of the people with utter prodigality dur
ing the past eight years, and make no
mistake about it that we are on the road
to national bankruptcy, which necessarily
will be followed by reputation, or by
inf1ation-which is the worse of the two
1t is doubtful If the Government itself
knows the amount of the national debt.
The people certainly do not know, but
the probability is that it in due course
will be from 500 OOo, 900 900 to $50, O,OOo,- =
00,000-a sum beyond the comprehen-
sion of the average human mind.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. TrncetoeH.

They are so low to the ground that
they give the impression Of gliding rather
than walking.
There is, too, something essentially
home-like about the turtle dove which
makes it peculiarly the bird of the small
garden.
Small gardens are the sort most of us
have, II we have any at all. And the
way all types of government are grabbing
all they can from just plain folk, most
persons will be mighty fortunate to have
any gardens at all in few years.
The turtle dove somehow strikes a
home note. 1t seems even more domestic
than chicken. Probably chickens
wouldn't be very domestic unless they
were compelled to be.
The dove gives the observer the i'm
preston that it belongs around home. It
perches for hours at time, cooling away
In the most faithful fashion. 1t seems,
in other words, to be perfectly salts
fled with its life. 1t does not long for
night clubs, or to be jay. 1t is glad that
it is just dove.
n
Perhaps it is necessary to point out
that these birds are not as gentle as we
think Of them being.
And they are great deal more beauti-
full, in coloring, than the popular i'm
preston of them.
Turtle doves $50 called by reason Of
tho roorkinOS hapLy
can make blue jays fly for their life. They
have been seen to attack squirrels. We
do not believe that they would hesitate
at all to run at hawk.
Yet this ability at defense by taking
the attack, is not achieved in any ruth
less manner by the gentle dove" The
bird simply makes run, then stops. If
it we're called upon to really fight, it
probably would lose.
Mourning doves, to be appreciated at
their artistic full, must be seen on a
frozen branch in the snow
II the sun happens to be shining on
them just right, they appear suddenly
in an altogether new light You believe
that this is the first time in your life
that you have really seen a dove.
It's pink, in particular, is beyond des-
cription, with mauve tones that would
be the despair of any portrait painter.
For that matter, we saw startling in
the sun the other day, and he was really
most beautiful bird. No doubt he was
just in his startling prime
His head was a dull jet black, round
and fluffy, while his chest was green and
below there was some brown, with
touches of gold here and there, and blue.
A few other starlings in the yard at
the same time offered no such display.
No one who has not seen starting in
this dress has any conception of the
beauty which this bird can attain.
No doubt this particular beauty had
received some important news first, the
good word that spring is coming down
this way shortly. The old saying that
"a little bird told me" has foundation in
fact.

Letters to the Editor
Thinks Fire Should Join


England and America Against Germany.
To the Editor Of The Star:
John Cudahy, former American Min
lister to Fire writes for the North Amer
ican Newspaper Alliance: "Ninety-five
per cent of the Irish people sympathized
with the aims of Britain and hoped
ardently for British success in the war"
I think Mr.. Cudahy is right in his esti-
mate. The balance of his article, outside
its history, is so filled with contradictions
as to leave the true state of his mind in
obscurity. He tries to find some analogy
between Ireland, constantly exposed to
the danger of German invasion, and some
imaginary battle between the British and
German fleets 100 miles off the American
shore, then asks the curious question
Gould the British properly petition for
bases in Boston New York and Newport
News" He says nothing as to the result
Of the fancied naval fight nor does he
suggest any of the conditions under
which Britain might make the request
to use our bases. The Graf Spec incident
on the River Plate disposes of the con-
lecture.
Mr.. Cudahy knows that Congress re-
fleets the sentiment Of America in giving
to Britain all aid essential to beat Hitler
Ireland is in constant danger of being
taken over as a German colony, occupied
by German soldiers. who will replace
Irish democracy with the iron fist of
the warriors arm. Mr.. Cudahy says,
ireland would not consider maintain
ance of British bases on its coasts. for
to do so would be to bring down
bitzkrieg on defenseless land" He
then praises Ireland's defenders as a
gallant Irish Army of 250,000 men, with
another 25O,00O Ulstermen who will. Mr.
Cudahy says, fight to the last man.
Is this a stronger army than the one
Belgium surrendered to the Germans?
surrender to Germany as Belgium did,
an action applauded by Mr.. Cudahy? He
asserts Mr.. De Valera is realist who
knows that 100000 people cannot resist
attack by a great power. Most extraor-
dinary of all contradictions, he in
sinuates Ireland is not worth fighting
for, his language being, "the gain not
being worth the necessary effort" After
indulging in three columns of discussion,
the American says, but first and last it
is an Irish problem for Irish solution"
What a melancholy conclusion for an
American with Irish blood in his veins!
Denmark was a Danish problem and
Poland a Polish problem to be settled by
the locals under the direction of Mr..
Hitler, regardless of humanity.
Experience is our safest guide when
we reason on facts. I believe Irelands
plight appeals to mankind.
Ireland's immediate and strongest in
terest today and her happiness for a
century to come require her to make
common cause with England and the
United States at this time.

New Assistant Secretary

In nominating G. Rowland Shaw
as an Assistant Secretary of State,
President Roosevelt has made an eX-
cellent choice. A career diplomat,
Mr.. Shaw has had more than two
decades of experience on the diplo-
matte firing line, both at home and
abroad AS chief of the Division of
Foreign Service Personnel since 1887,
he has contributed much to increas
ing the efficiency of the foreign serv-
ice, and maintaining at high level
the morale of its officers.
Mr. Shaw has served twice at
1stanbul, Turkey, and for several
years was head of the Division of
Near Eastern Affairs. Few foreign
service officers have as good knOWl-
edge of the Near East, or better
understanding of political, economic
and cultural developments in this
area, which is playing so important
a part in the news of the day. His
specialized knowledge of the Near
East and foreign service personnel
administration should be of particu-
lar value to Secretary Hull,
1t is of vital Importance, in this
critical period of the Nations affairs,
that the President, in his selections
for high office in the Department of
State, and in the foreign service
abroad, choose the most competent
men available. The nomination of
Mr. Shaw, like the recent appoint
ment of Dean Acheson to be an As
sistant Secretary of State, will be
welcomed as an evidence of Mr..
Roosevelt's desire to give Secretary
Hull as able a corps of assistants as
possible

Gurund Rifle

Adoption by the Marine Corps of
the Garand semi-automatic rifle as
the standard shoulder weapon for
the corps will simplify the task of
producing arms for the expanding
military services of the Nation.
Arsenals now may concentrate on
manufacturing one type of rifle for
our troops. The Garand was for
many months the subject Of contro-
versy in and out of the services.
Adoption by the Army of the Garand
rifle a year ago resulted in wordy
conflict which had repercuSSionS in
the halls of Congress. Even though
the Army stood fast on its decision,
the controversy continued to rage.
The decision of the Marine Corps to
follow the Army's suit and adopt the
Garand is the result of an indepen-
dent and exhaustive study con-
Quoted by officers and men of the
corps.

They were hard to manufacture and
it is claimed they had faults which
made them inaccurate and unde-
pendable. These faults, one by one,
have been overcome. Changes were
made in design to facilitate produc-
ton. The Garand has weathered .
