All Out at Lost?

To the extent that it reveals a
less than-maXimum defense effort in
the past, the Presidents letter to
William S. KnudSen and Sidney Hill
man carries implications of a most
disturbing nature.
In effect, the President was saying
that as of today-a year after the
Germans launched the great drive
that was to overrun Holland, Belgium
and France-the people of the United
States still are content with a partial
effort to defend themselves and to
help the British in their fight.
At this late hour we have not yet
begun to make anything approaching
full use of what Mr. Roosevelt calls
critical machine tools. A survey
by the National Association of Manu-
facturerS in $4,000 small to medium
sized firms resulted in the finding
that $4,000 machine tools are being
used on a part time basis in these
plants. This survey by no means
covered the whole industrial field,
but it indicates, with regard to the
plants canvaSSed, that the production
effort might be stepped up by 2,OOo,-
900 man-hourS each day if the tools
were used to the limit.
In addition to calling for a greater
effort both in the production and use
of machine tools, the President di-
rected attention to the fact that
many skilled machine operators are
working at other occupations, while
many more, he said, have been
drafted for military service despite
the fact that they are urgently
needed in industry. These short
comlngS in our defense effort can
only mean that the country as a
whole has little if any real concep-
tion of the gravity of the interna-
tional situation or of the magnitude
of the effort which must be made if
the United States is to maintain its
position in the world.
This is probably due in part to the
circumstance that the results which
have been achieved are by no means
inconSiderable. AS a matter of fact.
measured by normal time
standards, the progress which has
been made is exceptional. But, as
Mr.. Roosevelt said, it is not enough.
This is not normal time, nor a time
of peace, and to content ourselves
with an effort which would have
been adequate five or even two years
ago would be to sanction a policy
which has led the rest of the demo-
cratic world to disaster.
Perhaps the American people would
be more eager to go on the defense
basis for which the President has
asked if it were made clear to them
that German victory over the
British would force us to go call out"
and stay on that basis indefinitely,
whether we liked it or not.

Utilities Commission

For more than two months the
District has been deprived of a Pub
lie Utilities Commission as a result of
the transfer of Vice Chairman Rich
mond Keech to be corporation coun-
sci and the death of Chairman Riley
Elgen on February %. President
Roosevelt has named Gregory Han
kin, special counsel for the Federal
Power Commission. to succeed Mr..
Keech, but the nomination has been
pending in the Senate since March
3. No one has been named to sue
ceed Chairman Elgen.
Meanwhile, it is impossible to OBJ
tain action on many important mat
ters. These include the controversial
question of the croSs-town bus serv-
ice, the request of the Washington
Gas Light Company to increase it's
capitalization by 10000 shares of
preferred stock, several problems in
bus routes, plans of the transit COM
pany to convert two-man to one-man
streetcars and the proposal for total
use of natural gas in the District.
Unquestionably the demands of the
national emergency have monopo-
lized the Presidents attention, but
it is to be hoped that something
will be done in the very near future
to relieve the increasing congestion
of the local utilities docket.

Fingerprint Plun

The proposal to require finger
printing of all applicants for licenses
under the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Act and of persons engaged in GER
tain other lines of business having
direct contact with the public de-
serves prompt and favorable con-
sideration by the Commissioners.
This plan, prepared by special
committee appointed some months
ago by the Commissioners, is de-
signed not only to protect the public
from risks involved in dealing with
undesirable persons but to protect
honest and law-abiding employers
and employees from the influx of un-
desirables from cities where Stricter
licensing prevails. A number of
States and municipalities have
adopted similar measures, with salu-
tary results, according to Thomas E.
Lodge, head of the Alcoholic Bever-
age Control Board and chairman of
the Commissioners special Finger
print Committee.
The fingerprinting of operators
and employees of liquor establish
mentS is a logical step, in view of
the section of the A. B. C. law which
prohibits licensees from employing
'any person who has within ten
years prior thereto been convicted of
any felony" There is no more prac-
ticable way of determining the eligi-
biIity of a person to be employed
under this act than to take his fin
gerprints and submit them to the
Federal Bureau of Investigation for
a search of its central flngerprlnt
files. The committee also would re-
quire photographs and fngerprints
of hackers, street and door too door
vendors, secondhand property deal
ers. public guides, private detectives,
fortune tellerS and certain other
classes of applicants for business IL
censes. Some 10000 licensees in all
would be involved, it is estimated.
Authorities in New YORK, New Jer-
sey, Florida, California and numerous
other Jurisdictions fingerprint all or
some of the licensees in the classes
listed by the committee. 1t has been
found that the majority of applicants
raise no objection to the requirement,
and many undesirable persons have
been eliminated from positions
which would have enabled them to
victimize the public. Washington
should not lag behind other commu-
mites in thus protecting its citizens.

ployment are lacking, the estimate of
100000 recently made by Philip
Murray, president of. the Congress
of Industrial Organizations, in his
letter to the President, seems too
high. At the end of March, 1910,
there were 5,110,270 persons seeking
work in the United States, according
to the count of the Census Bureau.
This figure did not include those on
public relief rolls. Since then, the
United States has embarked on its
total defense program. If the De-
partment of Labor figures are cor
rect, non-agricultural employment
alone has increased 100000 during
the past twelve months. Though es-
Inmates of the number of jobless
vary, the employment picture is far
brighter than it was year ago.
Evening star., 1941-05-03
Employment Gains

The figures recently made public
by Secretary Perkins reveal further
gains in employment. In March,
total non-agricultural employment
reached 37,218,0O0, the highest level
for that month on record The num-
ber of workers gainfully employed in
non-agricultural jobs has increased
2,366,000 since March, 1910, and Is
1,541 900 more than in 1929. Factory
employment and pay rolls both
reached new record high levels in
March, the fifth consecutive month
in which employment has exceeded
the figures of corresponding months
for all previous years.
Recent gains have not been con-
fined to the defense industries OF
the one hundred and fifty-seven
manufacturing industries surveyed
by the Department of Labor, one
hundred and thirty-three reported
increases in employment last month,
and one hundred and thirty-nine re-
ported larger pay rolls. Retail stores
and wholesalers employed more
workers, and there were increases in
many other non-agricultural activi-
ties,
Employment on projects financed
by the Works Progress Administra-
ton fell to 1,7Os 900 in March, de-
crease of $4,000 from the preceding
month. More than one-fourth of
those now on w. P. A. rolls are work.
ing on defense projects. In view Of
the large number of jobs in industry
created by the rearmament program,
it is logical to expect further de-
creases in w. P. A. rolls, and in Fed
eral appropriations for public relief.
Employment gains fully justify cur
rent w. P. A. reductions.

The newly arrived pair of catbirds
were flying and futtering around the
east gate.
Were they the same birds which were
here last summer?
After a time, we felt sure of it, for we
knew what they were looking for, as
they peered at the arch and gave their
famous mewing cry.
They wanted ground beef.
Last summer a small feeding station
had served them meat all during the
time of nesting. They had eaten freely,
then carried morsels to their young ones.
There could be no doubt of what they
were after.
Time and time again they flew to the
arch, preened themselves, looked down
anxiously.
They would fly away, only to fly back,
looking for something which wasn't
there.
They knew what they wanted, but it
wasn't there.
The actions proved that they were the
same birds as last year.
Often it is difficult, even impossible,
to be sure a pair of any species is the
same pair which were in the garden
the summer before
The catbirds, looking for meat at ex-
actly the right place, practically wrote
their own calling card.
The problem was, how to give them
their wished-for food. The small feed
ing station had lost its bottom in the
autumn winds and rain. Being an i'm
proViSed affair, there was not much left
to repair.
1t had been just a simple platform,
with a ledge around it surmounted by
a neat roof.
On the bottom a piece of waxed paper
had been placed. Meat grows dark
quickly in the open. Avid bills cannot
carry much of it away, even though
they try all day long. That is why
feeding ground beef to the birds in
spring and summer is not expensive.

ImperiIed PORTUGAL

AS the tide of war sets obviously
toward the Western Mediterranean,
menacing both Spain and French
North Africa, it threatens to engulf
Portugal as we'll. This small country,
set on the western rim of the Iberian
Peninsula and facing the Atlantic
Ocean, is itself of great strategic
Importance. But Portugal's signif1-
canoe is still further enhanced by its
overseas possessions. Small and
weak though it is, Portugal pos
sesses an extensive colonial empire,
with vitally placed island groups in
the Eastern Atlantic, rich colonies
in Africa, and ASiatic footholdS eX-
tending to China and the neighbor-
hood of Australia. Such is the broad
setting against which the fate of
Portugal should be viewed.
A German occupation of CONT
mental Portugal, in conjunction with
a similar occupation of Spain, would
give the Axis new naval and air
bases of the greatest value for con-
ducting the battle of the Atlantic"
Shipping lanes to Britain from the
Middle and Far East around the
Cape of Good Hope, from Latin
America, and even from the United
States along the southern route to
Europe, would thereby become much
more hazardous.
The situation would present still
greater perils if the Axis could lay
hands on nearby bits of Portuguese
territory. Some hundreds of miles
southwest of Portugal lies its island
of Madeira, while beyond stretch the
Azores, an island chain reaching
nearly halfway across the Atlantic
to North America, on about the lati-
tude of New York City. On the
African continent, right at the tip
of it's westward bulge" and close to
the French port of Dakar, is the
small but highly strategic colony of
Portuguese Guinea. Already a de-
veloped air base, it is used by our
transatlantic clippers on their win
ter schedule.
1t is almost inconceivable that
Britain would allow these vital spots
to pass under German control. A
German occupation of continental
Portugal would therefore automati-
eally entail a British occupation Of
Madeira, the Azores and Portuguese
Guinea. Indeed, it is quite likely
that the present Portuguese govern
ment might flee to the Azores and
re-establish itself there under Brit
ish protection. However, the gov
ernment might make its peace with

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TrlceDeH.

The male cardinal was skittish.
He would not come down to the meat.
His mate, as usual, was bolder. She
flew down, her claws making tiny rap,
rap, rap as she hoped across to the
food
Daintily she sampled bit.
1t was good, so she took another. The
meat is best ground fairly fine.
Selling bite, she flew away with 1t.
Cardinal eggs have been found about
the middle of April, until as late as
July IS. Usually two, and sometimes
three broods are raised.
y &
Fresh eggs have been found in catblrd
nests by May II. The young are not out
of the nest until around the middle OF
June.
Yet here were these recently arrived
catbirds, soon to fly away with meat,
just as they did last year.
No sooner had the cardinals departed,
than the catbirds flew down. They are
beautiful birds, rather shining in the
sun. They are given to great deal OF
neck curving, during which they give
their mewing cry, from which they are
named And it really does sound a
great deal like the cry of cat. Catbird
is a good name for them, from several
standpoints. Some bird lovers profess
not to like them, but We believe that II
they will faithfully watch pair of these
birds all spring and summer they Will
come in time to work up quite an adml-
ration for them.

An ugly noise was coming from the
direction of the porch.
1t was a harsh grating, made by
startling perched on the lattice about
four feet from the saucer.
His ire was directed toward Tlgey, the
cat, which reclined at the other end OF
the porch.
Tigey is not interested in birds. Oh,
if one flew down directly into his paws,
he would grab it, of course, but IN tne
main, he has not the slightest interest
in them. If you were to tell him bird
was his for the catching, he would reply,

The song sparrow, one of the finest OF
all our native birds, gets good deal OF
the ground meat.
1t would be well worth putting out, II
for no other reason than to help these
birds.
The song sparrow is among the friend
liest of all our birds. He and she will
hop within few feet of any one sitting
in a chair in the yard. They seem
utterly fearless, yet few of them are
caught by marauders.
Starlings, of course, will get some OF
the ground beef, but they will repay you
by their antics.
starlings are boY clowns Even the the
young have the gift. Watching a oapS
startling insist on being fed by its parents
is as much fun as circus, provided you
approach the scene in the same way
that is, determined to enjoy 1t.
