most hairbrained enterprise. There
Is good evidence that associated with
Iron Guard extremists are Com
munist agitators seeking to foster
chaotic conditions as the basis for
eventual social revolution.
All this must be intensely annoying
to the Germans. Rumania Is in
trinSically the richest of the Balkan
countries in natural resources. It's
Oil is merely its most vital product
for German purposes. Chronic I'M
rest, tending not only to upset Ru-
mania's own economic life but to
involve its Balkan neighborS, is a
severe handicap to German plans
for exploiting this whole region as
a major source of raw materials and
foodstuffs. 1t is more than possible
that Germany will feel obliged to
do away with even the pretense Of
a native government and rule Ru-
mania by open military administra-
ton. That, however, will mean more
German troops for occupation and
will tend to drive all Rumanians
into embittered opposition. Which,
ever way the Germans decide, Ru-
mania seems destined to be a thorn
in the flesh and a disillusioning
example of Hitler's new order" in

Defeat in the Balkans

The surrender of the Greek Army
of EpiruS, surrounded and beaten in
a combined German-Italian assault,
foreshadoWS the end Of Allied re-
sistance in the Balkans. No longer
can there be the faintest hope of
making a successful Stand-the sole
question is whether any remnants
of the defending forces can be
evacuated in the face of ceaseless
attacks by land, sea and air.
For the surrendered Greek Army,
believed to number about 10000
men, the cup of bitterness must be
overf1owing. 1t was these hardy
veterans who stopped the Italian in
vaders six months ago and then
hurled them back into Albania, fight
ing triumphantly against superior
numbers and almost incredibly diff
cult conditions of weather and ter
rain. Unkind indeed is the fate
which has decreed that they should
be the first to fall, now that the tide
of battle has turned against the
Greeks, but the memory of their
gallant exploits will outlive the fact
Of their ultimate defeat.
The Greek government has moved
to the BritiSh-held island of Crete,
and from there, according to King
George II, resistance will be con-
tinued. But this seems to be a for
lorn gesture. Athens reports that
the British eXpeditionary force and
the Greek troops who have been
fighting with them have fallen back
to new forty-mile line running
from the heights of Thermopylae to
the Gulf OF C0rinth, about eighty
miles north of Athens, where a new
stand will be made. Berlin, however,
claims that Nazi forces already have
broken through at Thermopylae and
have "crushingly defeated and an
initiated" British rear guard.
With the Army of Epirus out of the
war, thereby releasing more German
troops for the drive toward Athens,
there Is no reason to suppose that
the new Allied line can be held. At
best 1t can fight only a delaying
action, designed to facilitate the
evacuation Of a maximum number
OF British, and possibly Greek, troops.
Thus, for all practical purposes the
war in the Balkans has ended in
defeat for the Allies-a defeat which
ID serious and disappointing despite
the fact that there was little reason
at any time to expect a victory. But
1t should be remembered that the
nghting in Greece is only one phase
Of the war as a whole, and there is
no reason to suppose that the defeat
there will bear decisively on the
ultimate decision.

Calls for Cutting of Third
OF Unnecessary Government Spending.

To the Editor of The Star:
Instead of the one-third increase in
income taxes proposed by Secretary Nor
genthau, why can't the Government re-
duce it's non-defenSe appropriations by
one-third?
Government leaders point out almost
daily that we are entering a period in
which denial and sacrifice must become
the outstanding qualities of our people,
If our ideals are to survive. Yet at the
same time they continue spending on
non essentials with an abandon that
bellies the seriousness of the emergency.
We need reappraisa1 and revaluation
of all money spent. There must be only
one test-that it is absolutely essential to
the defense of the Nation. The respon-
sibility for measuring every dollar of
expenditures and applying that test rests
squarely on Congress.
The American people are ready to deny
themselves their little luxuries and pleas
ures, but only when they see Govern
ment leading the way with drastic econ
omies and sacrifices.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. Trdce,ueU.

They eat 1t themselves, and then take
some home to the hedglings.
There Is no better way to help the
nesting birds. 1t is not expensive, pro-
vided one uses meat either for self or
pet. One simply sets aside small por-
ton for the birds. That is all. Many
person who holds up hands in "holy
horror" at the very idea of feeding beef
to birds would discover that it is no
additional expense, but merely a better
utilization of what he had. 1t is just the
idea which seems strange. The unusual
often does
1t is best to fix the beef tray on post
or tree, high enough so that cats and
dogs cannot get at it., especially the
latter.
The main drawback of this food is that
1t attracts stray dogs to the garden. But
if they find they cannot reach it, in
time they will stop coming.
Cardinals, song sparrows, and catbirds
seem to be the most avid users of ground
beef.
Starhngs, naturally enough, are among
the customers. There is no preventing
this, but it may be imagined that the
young of the starting are helped with
ground beef as well as the fedglings of
other species
The best time to put out this meat is
about o'clock, after the heat of the
day. This will provide much help for the
parent birds, and good food for the
youngsters. 1t resembles worms, both
in taste and feel, evidently, and particu-
larly in protein reserves.
1t is not good to put the meat on the
ground, except occasionally. just to see
what the birds will do. 1t will be found
that they are afraid Of the sheet of paper,
at first, but shortly get over this.
ThrasherS have returned to the neigh
borhood. This is the large brown bird
which is such an excellent singer that
many persons think they are hearing a
mockingbird. The back and wing color
ing of the thrasher is much like that of
the wood thrush Some persons even
speak of it as the big thrush" but it
belongs to the mimic family, to which
belongs the mockingbird, himself. The
name comes from actions of the bird in
shrubbery, if any one comes too near.
Latest arrival is female cowbird, the
sleek one which lays her eggs in the nest
of other birds Just to look at her, you
would not think it of her.
She is a plain brown. The male has a
brown head and blackish body, and is
the only bird with this exact combina-
ton.
The female cowbird is grsyiSh- brown
or brownish-gray as the light happens
to strike her.
These birds do not stick to their mates
but select several during the season.
All in all, the cowbird family is an
odd one. 1t uses cows TO flush insects,
as the latter whirl up from the feet OF
cattle, the cowbirds come in and devour
them.

Curtogruphic Catastrophe

A profession that has taken it
heavily on the chin the last few
years is that of cartography or map
making. The clan of mapperS has
been bedeviled almost to the point
of insanity by the axis habit of
changing national boundaries al
most overnight, and it is rumored
that some, who have actually gone
past the danger point, are trying to
invent maps with rubber boundaries,
which the customer can use and
adjust according to the latest news
paper and radio reports.
But through it all they have clung
hopefully to supposedly solid rock,
the doctrine of 'permanence of out
line" which means that even If the
Nazis do get into place, its gen.
eral shape remains unchanged. Now
even this is going. Recently there
was volcanic eruption in the Cas-
plan Sea, and, 10 and behold, new
Soviet island arose, thousand feet
long and nearly as wide, to confuse
the mappers and turn them into
moperS.
Scientists are already trying to
find out what good it is. So far, it
seems to be an arid waste, inacces-
sible and piping hot, completely unfit
for human habitation. This leads
the Soviets to hope that Hitler may
overlook it, but they are none too
hopeful. Maybe he will take it after
all and give 1t as a door prize to
Mussolini, the desert specialist, to
add to his dwindling collection.

Shakespeare

Shakespeare Is England, but when
that Is affirmed only a portion of
the truth Is set forth. Landor was
justified in his declaration that the
Bard of Avon "is not our poet, but
the worlds" The more the treasured
fruits Of his genius are studied, the
more Is 1t comprehended that as "he
was not Of an age, but for all time"
so likewise, in the argument of Emer-
son, Is 1t fact that mo nation has
produced anything like his equal.
There is no quality in the human
mind, there is no region of thought,
In which he has not scared or
descended, and none in which he has
not said the commanding word"
On the anniversary of his birth
and Of his death, however, it is
proper that Shakespeare's identifca-
tion with the country he most truly
loved should be stressed. When Sir
Walter Raleigh, professor of English
literature at Oxford University, was
called to deliver the annual lecture
on Shakespeare before the British
Academy in 1918, he chose to remem-
ber that England was engaged in war
and, at the start of his address, an
nounced. IT think there is no national
poet OF any great nation whatsoever,
who Is so completely representative
Of his own people as Shakespeare is
representative of the English There
is certainly no other English poet
who comes near to Shakespeare in
embodying our character and our
foibles. Shakespeare, it may be
suspected, is too poetic to be per-
feet Englishman; but his works
refute that suspicion. He is the Eng
lishman endowed, by a fortunate
chance, with matchless powers of
expression"
Yet again it must be remarked
that Shakespeare would have been
master of human utterance had he
been native of Kamchatka. En-
dowed with such a soul, he would
have been anywhere what actually
he was in Stratford and in London
the most notably gifted and the most
distinctively successful observer and
commentator the world ever has
known. Lady Montagu with a
woman's intuition saw that "he was
certainly one Of the greatest moral
Evening star., 1941-04-23

philosophers that ever lived" and DR..
Johnson was correct In his belief
that from his works may be COL
lected a system of civil and eco
nomical prudence" Specifically,
Raleigh holds: His humanity is too
calm and broad to suffer the preju-
dices and exclusions of international
enmitieS." The ultimate law be-
tween man and man, according to
Shakespeare, is the law of pity" He
would be most at home in that COM
munity in which mercy inspires the
people most profoundly. BY that
test he is the spiritual brother of
the citizens of England and, please
God, also the citizens of the United
States today. The prevailing struggle
perhaps has helped to emphasize the
relation of the noblest of singers
with democracy and freedom without
which song itself Is a deception.

AvoidubIe Accidents

Washington's new bronze plaque,
symbolic of leadership among cities
Of its population class in the national
campaign to reduce traffic casualties,
is well deserved. In a seven-year
period great strides have been made
toward safeguarding the lives Of
those who use the thoroughfares of
the Capital. While the death toll is
not being lowered as rapidly as it
should be, the rate, in comparison
with population growth, has been
reduced by slightly more than fifty
per cent since 1933 with a consist
ent numerical decrease each year
through 1910.
But it is obvious that many drivers
are not doing their part in protect
ing themselves and others. Awarding
Of the National Safety Councils
plaque followed by two days the
quarterly report of the Police De-
partment'S traffic division on acci-
dent causes. Figures for March are
significant. Of 900 accidents not
involving pedestrians, 451 logically
could be claSsed as avoidable.
These included failure to yield
right of way, reckless driving,
skidding, interfering with traffic in
pulling away from the curb, failing
to stay on the right side of the street,
driving while intoxicated and speed
ing. Among the 162 pedestrians in
jured, So we're struck while crossing
in the middle of the block.
Traffic accidents of all kinds have
increased more than twelve per cent
so far this year, and the death toll
has kept pace. With a large influx
of visitors and new residents, more
accidents are to be expected, but they
can be held to a minimum by con-
tinued improvement in enforcement
and by elimination of some "built-in"
dangers through engineering.
No degree of efficiency in enforce
ment, or foresight in engineering,
however, can cope with the types of
accidents enumerated above. These
are problems which can be solved
only by individual drivers through
exercise of common sense and ac-
ceptance of personal responsibility
while at the wheel of an automobile.
Traffic safety is complex problem
which can be solved only by strict
attention to all its details.

Offers Legal Argument
For Conveys to England.

AZ tne EdlIOI VI 1IIe ota4'
The anomalous relation Of Germany
and the United States, in appearance at
the verge of war, may go to the extreme
of violent reprisals and actual war not
result in the absence of an intent to
wage war, an element that must supple
ment acts of hostility to create legal
state OF war.
For this reason, establishment and
maintenance by America of protected
road from the United States to England,
open to the commerce of nations not
controlled by Germany, would be an act
in the universal interest and in COM
pletely lawful defense of the freedom
of the seas, since the German blockade
of England is illegal.
If the United States were to supply
war vessels to England to perform this
lawful service, it would be less in con-
sonance with the law than if the Amer
lean Navy were employed, for the reason
that the duty to maintain the freedom
of the seas is as much Americas as
Englands, and the sanction to be de-
duced from international law justifying
the act can operate legitimately only If
the act be for the supreme good of the
complete society of nations and not for
any particular nation or nations. Less
latitude is allowed to our courts than to
our Government in respect of interna-
tional law; they must" administer that
law, while the Government may elect
or neglect to do so. The rule that binds
the Federal judiciary is: international
law - is a part of our law and must
be ascertained and administered by the
courts of Justice. In doing this, the
courts must obtain such aid as they
can from judicial decisions, from the
works of jurists and commentators, and
from the acts and usages of civilized
nations"
Were the Government equally bound
to assure justice and protect rights by
defending the maritime liberties of civil
lied nations and vindicating interna-
tional law, the German blockade of Eng
land would be denounced and our feet
would be engaged in opening and guard
ing a free road from America to Eng
land for the lawful commerce of the
neutral nations, and the alternative of
supplying our war vessels to England
for that object would not be considered.
BY requiring England to perform this
duty in the interest of free commerce,
where legitimate restrictions erected by
law do not apply, would justify that ma
ton in an assertion of extraordinary
maritime pretenSionS commensurate
with such responsibility.
Suspension by Congress, in the neu-
trality law. of the exercise of our legal
mercantile maritime rights ought to be
ended and our vessels returned to the
seas and conveyed in oceanic regions
where piracy is practiced.
To obtain the full commendation OF
history, our professions and our actions
ought to be in equilibrium. Abdication
of rights and recession from duty can
only attract condemnation, while to
move in support of law and in defense
of civilization will assure unqualified
commendation. EDWARD CONN.
