and no one talks about. It is 6 standing rule, not only of the FBI, but also of the army and navy in- telligence services, that the work of counter espionage is never revealed. To do so merely tips the hand of the spy who Is being spied on. Only when a case Is complete and the chain of conspirators completely known is the trap ready to be sprung.

Governor Nice

News of the death of Harry w.
Nice has been received in the city
of his birth with sincere regret. The
third Republican Governor of Mary
land since the Civil War had many
friends in Washington. Perhaps his
most noteworthy characteristic was
his capacity to win and to hold the
affection of great numbers of people.
From boyhood onward he practiced
the art of living in harmony with his
neighbors near and far. Thus it
happened that in politics he was
opposed yet never hated. His success
in battles which seemed hopeless at
the start might be attributed to the
peculiar charm of his own remark
able personality. Even those critics
who charged him with adhering to
an expedient philosophy of admins
tration were obliged to admit the
magnetic power of his spirit.
1t really did not matter very much
If Harry Nice failed to continue in
the dominant role which he essayed.
The fate of Maryland did not, of
course, depend upon any one sin
gle individual. Knowing that well
enough, the erstwhile minister's son
who gained the highest place in the

one and all, beg the question. A Presi-
dent undoubtedly has the implied power
to use the Army or Navy in an emer-
gency, and in such case must exercise
his judgment, but the decision as to
whether the circumstances justify or re-
quire entry into war against another
nation is left to Congress. In all prob
ability, If the present difficulties lead us
into war it will come about through
series of encroachments, as in previous
wars. Conceivably, a President might
undertake to carry on hostilities on
national scale contrary to the wishes of
the people as reflected through their
representatives in Congress. Would the
people be helpless in such a contingency?
Most certainly not In ignoring the
right of a coordinate branch of the
Government, President would be open
to impeachment. And it seems equally
obvious that Senator or Representa-
tive who either expressly or tacitly would
try to surrender his war power and
duty to another also would be guilty
of violation of the Constitution and
of his oath of Office
I trust that these observations will not
mark me as an appeaser. If we are
forced to shoot, let us try to do it with
out bursting our gun.

Dove VS.. Snake

spokesman Of the Japanese Army,
Major Kunio Akiyama, more than a
little peeved at our defense plans for
Guam and Samoa and Britain's re-
enforcement of Singapore, announced
in Shanghai that British and Amer
leans are snakes placing snake eggs
in doves nest" These harsh words
may seem strange coming from a
representative of a nation so polite
that it has never even declared war
on unfortified, unreinforced China,
but it seems there is a misunder-
standing. "He does not mean any
thing unkind," suavely explains his
interpreter, when he calls BritonS
and Americans snakes"
There is a good chance that the
interpreter is right. Today it is no
great compliment to be called dove,
lovely creature, no doubt, but lack
ing fangs to help it survive. An
other drawback to the dove is that it
does not hatch readily, particularly
in a nest of snakes. Practically every
government that has tried the ex-
pertinent has found that all it did
was lay an egg. It is understood, of
course, that when this remark is
translated into almost everything ex-
cept the Scandinavian, the interpre-
ter will make it clear that any un-
kindness Is purely a coincidence.
