national defense" AS Mr.. Martin
pointed out, the Nation is demanding
production and more production"
and it is demanding also that pa
triotism be placed above Selfishness.
Though conceding the need for ma
tional unity on defense plans, Mr..
Martin stressed the vital Importance
of preserving the two-party system
of government in the United States
through maintaining at all times
strong opposition party. Provided its
role is not that of obstructionism,
the opposition party can render a
real public service in addressing it
self, with intelligence, to the objec-
tives laid down by Chairman Martin

Under Mr.. Martin the direction of

to maintain an efficient organization
which can serve as an instrument for

Chairman Martin Remains

The Republican National Commit
tee, in unanimously rejecting his
resignation as chairman, yesterday
paid high tribute to the leadership
of Representative Joseph w. Martin,
Jr., and its action plainly reflected
the desire of the great body of Re-
publicans throughout the country
that Mr.. Martin remain at the helm
Of the national committee. The an
nouncement that he has agreed to
continue as chairman will be received
with widespread satisfaction by his
fellow Republicans. AS leader of the
House minority and as national
chairman, Mr. Martin has served his
party well.
In his address to the committee
yesterday, Chairman Martin evi-
denced a clear realization of the need
for national unity during the present
emergency, to safeguard the security
of the American people. Such unity,
he said, is needed in framing our ma
tional defense plans. Particularly
timely was his warning that this is
no time for strikes or lockouts which
will prevent us from achieving at the
earliest possible time an adequate

TELLING the World

The Senate'S prompt and decisive
approval of the $1,000 100000 aid-to-
Britain bill yesterday should dispel
any lingering doubt in the minds
of dictatOrS as to the overwhelming
determination of the American peo-
pie to carry cut reSolutely and COM
pletely the policy enunciated in the
leaSe-lend law-the policy of all-out
material support of the worlds en-
battled demOcraCieS. This is the
largest peacetime appropriation ever
made by Congress, yet the Senate
passed it by a vote of ST to after
less than two hours of floor debate.
The House had set an inspiring
example by registering a vote of 1856
to 55 in favor Of the vast outlay.
Fourteen Senators who had voted
against the leaSe-lend bill on March
8 cast record votes for the money bill
yesterday. Ten of these were Repub-
licanS. Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan was among the latter, and
his comment in explanation Of his
decision to cast his ballot with those
who sought to translate into tangible
terms the aid-to-Britain doctrine
is worth quoting here. The appro-
priation, he told his colleagues, "be-
came inevitable, unless it be con-
ceived that a wobbly Congress
would sabotage its own solemn judg-
ments in less than three weeks, set
ting us before the world as con-
temptible vaccilators whom none
would respect and certainly none
would fear" The world of total
itarianism must know by now that
America has set its course unsWery-
ingly and confidently toward a
definite goal, the elimination of all
threats to our democratic way of
life from whatever source those
threats may come.

A Neglected Need

Abundant evidence-if any we're
required-of the urgent need for
new health center in the northwest
central area of the city is to be found
in the accident yesterday in which
twenty persons were injured by fall
ing plaster in an old and dilapidated
building which houses one of the
clinics of the District Health Depart
ment.
Fortunately, all of the victims but
one escaped with minor injuries, but
there is no gainSaying the fact that
chance alone prevented more serious
consequences - consequences which
would have been directly attributable
to the shameful manner in which the
health needs of the northwest central
section have been neglected by the
District Commissioners and other
local officials.
In this congested area, bounded
roughly by Florida avenue on the
north, Eleventh street on the west,
Constitution avenue on the south and
the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks
on the east, are found the highest
death rates in the city from sWh
diseases as tuberculosis, pneumonia
and syphilis. For years Health Off
Ger Rutland has tried to induce Dis
trict authorities to provide for new
health center in the area, one that
would house several clinics, but to
date he has not been successful even
to the extent of securing a site
1t is difficult to account for this
attitude of seeming Indifference on
the part of local officials toward the
northwest health center project when
the need is so obvious and so urgent,
and there is more than a little reason
to believe that the neglect is due pri-
marily to sheer lack of interest in
the problem If that has been the
case, it may be that the accident in
the makeshift clinic will open official
eyes to a long-standing condition
which has been little short of a dis
grace to the Capital.

Tells of Support for Recess"
On Good Friday Afternoon.
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
The State Council. Daughters of
America, deserves the commendation of
all religious-minded people for the
action it has taken recently, namely, its
unanimous Endorsement of the religious
observance of Good Friday from II
O'Clock noon to 8 pm.
A few months ago churches of all
Christian denominations, together with
the cooperation of many non-sectarian
organizations, formed an organization
whose sole purpose is to secure the
friendly and voluntary cooperation of
business firms in granting permission to
their employees, upon their request, to
attend services at their respective
churches on Good Friday to worship God
and beg His blessings on this Nation and
all His creatures of every race and ma
tionality. Since then, we are happy to
say that We have enlisted the support not
only of religious and non-religious So
cieties and organizations, but also of
merchants and manufacturers in this
lofty objective.
In asking Tor recess from business
during the three hours it was not the
original intention of the committee to
have business houses close their doors,
but only to grant this recess to their
employees. However, similar co-opera-
ton and recessing on the part of busi-
ness would also be most appreciative.
JOSEPH E. GEDRA,
Secretary, Three Hours Observance
of Good Friday Committee.

Turkey and Russiu

With YugOSlavia torn between ap-
peasement of the axis and revolt of
the indignant opposition, interest
naturally turns to Turkey, the other
important Balkan neutral. Turkey
obviously has a greater range of
choice in its foreign policy than un-
happy YugOslavia, caught as it is,
between the pincers of axis encircle-
ment. Also, Turkey is a united ma
ton. with no large minoritieS to con-
slider, as the Yugoslav government
has to do.
AS between Britain and Germany,
the archantagoniStS in the present
war, Turkeys choice is clear. Every
prompting of national Self-interest
bids Turkey stand by the British al
lance and oppose any German move
which might menace its independ-
ence. But Turkish foreign policy is
inevitably conditioned by its rela-
ti0nS with Russia.
Just what those relations are has
been one of the tantalizing mysteries
of the Near Eastern situation. Ru-
morS have varied all the way from
predictions Of Russian support
against Germany to a secret pact
with Germany for a division of the
Turkish spoils. The latest INSTALL
ment to the mystery is an Associated
Press dispatch quoting an official
cOmmunique to the effect that
Turkey and Soviet Russia have
agreed on "a common declaration of
friendship" reassuring Turkey
against rumored Russian designs and
assuring her of Russia's benevolent
neutrality" in case Turkey is en-
broiled with Germany.
This is most important news. And
recent events have made it seem
plausible. Russia plainly is dissatis-
fed and uneasy over German prog
ress in the Balkans. But Russia is
militarily in no position to challenge
Germany. Yet Russia could adopt
a benevolently neutral attitude to-
ward Turkey without defying the
Reich, just as Russia aids China
while maintaining automatically
correct relations with Japan. That
is the sort of tortuous diplomacy
which characterizes Joseph Stalin's
subtle mind
How much actual assistance Russia
could give Turkey is problematical.
Much of Turkeys present war equip
ment is of Russian make, but it is
doubtful whether Russia would care
to release much to Turkey at so criti-
cal time. automatically, however,
Russia's benevolent neutrality would
be most useful. Freed of the threat
from the Caucasus back door, Turkey
could concentrate against the Ger
man menace. With large-scale Brit
ish aid, this might mean formidable
barrier to German schemes in the
Near East, even if Yugoslavia Is
forced to capitulate and the Balkans
come under German control.

ban on imports from any section of
Argentina, it has no application to
the ban on Navy purchases of canned
beef.
The latter is purely political ma
neuver on the part of Congress,
concession to unreasonable demands
from the cattle-growing States. The
disease question obviously is not in
volved for the sale and purchase of
Argentine canned beef by private
individuals in this country is per-
mitted.
Under all the circumstances, the
Senate has acted wisely and equitably
in reversing itself to permit adoption
of the amendment. 1t is to be hoped
that the amendment will be sus-
tanned in conference and that the
House will follow the example set by
the Senate.

Senate Reversal

The Senate, by rectifylng last
weeks failure to record the vote Of
Senator Russell of Georgia in favor
of an amendment to- the Navy supply
bill to permit purchases by the Navy
of canned beef from Argentina, has
made possible the removal of an irri-
tant which has seriously undermined
the administration good neighbor"
policy.
Viewed from any angle, this canned
beef issue has little economic impor-
tance. But from a political stand
point it is matter of no small conse-
quence.
Under the Hawley-Smoot Tariff
Act Of 1880 this country has enforced
an absolute embargo on imports Of
fresh or frozen meats from the Ar
gentine. This policy, a most un-
neighborly one in the eyes of those
who are trying to promote better
relations with Argentina, is defended
on the plea that some foot-and-
mouth disease has been found in one
area of the Latin American state.
Whatever the merits or otherwise of
that defense when used to justify a

Like SilUer rivers stealing to the sea;
A phantom ship casts anchor in this

The cargo is a dream returned to me.
For long ago Uhen I ,Dns young and

I held a dream, Without the faith to

Until my soul found faith and sought

Urges America to Join
Democracies in War on Axis.
To the Editor Of The Star:

President Roosevelt's speech at the
White House correspondents dinner was
a great address, clear, strong declara-
ton of our intention to the axis pow
ers-what we will do: that is, that the
United States of America now intends
to give all possible military, maritime,
financial and food aid to Britain, Greece
and China and to any one else who will
help to defeat the aggressors. The Presi-
dent has spoken boldly and effectively.
He has gone as far as he possibly can,
as far as a Congress, which, by an over
whelming vote, has permitted him to
give all-out aid to Britain.
But as I listen, logic asks me if we
are really meeting our moral obligation
to ourselves and to the world? If for
selfish reasons we are so interested in
seeing that Germany and her partners
are defeated, are we only willing to
let others fight our battles? Is there
not something wrong in our makeup
when we as a Nation and a people are
willing to let other peoples fight our
battles while we only produce-even in
great amounts-the materials for that
work?
Americans, have we much to be proud
Of, letting the British, the Greeks and
the Chinese fight our battle? Has young
America not the courage to take up
arms herself, If all the President says is
true?
Have we not duty to ourselves and
our posterity to fight shoulder to shoulder
with our defenders? Or are we willing
to let little Greece, poor China and Eng
land (battling for her life alone) do
the job?
I ask you, is this America? If it is,
1t is not very much TO be proud of
buying protection at the cost of the lives
of other peoples, and their women and
their children. PETER MARKHAM.

FAIRFAX, Va.

Dear Sir:
You spoke Of a cardinal in a recent
article and your liking for this bird
prompts me to write you.
1--WE have had with us since last sum-
mer crazy cardinal and I do mean
touched in the head.
"At first we thought he wanted to get
in the house and we were puzzled but
on going outside what he was after was
plain.
He goes to the windows that are re-
hecting the outside and tries to get into
that other world. He bangs that prom
inent beak of his against the glass all
day long, barely taking time out to peck
at the suet or seed.
Since the first of February there has
been one of those beautiful female cardi-
nails She follows him around and
watches, with her head cooked on one
side as he butts his head on the glass.
The mirror world doesn't seem to be
any more attractive than the one around
him but it is his only interest. The
slate colored juncos think he's crazy,
too. and drive him away when he goes
near
1--WE want to know how to cure him or
get rid Of him as he wakes us at dawn,
pounding on the window near my bed.
Then his frustrated look worries me.
DO you suppose the Zoo would want
him?
Anyway, he is unusual and I thought
you might like to hear about him.
yours truly, E. c. M"
Dear Sir:
Il now believe in fairies-and you. too.
Following your published directions
to the letter, I put small bird-feeding
station outside my dining room window
a month ago.
"It was amply supplied with wildbird
feed, including more than modicum of
sunf1oWer seeds, not to mention some
bread crumbs, peanuts and suet.
Although I live in a congested part
of the Connecticut avenue area just be-
yond the Taft Bridge, there nave 1or
six years been at least two pairs of cardi-
nails as we'll as a plentiful supply Of
robins, sparrows and what have you, not
to mention the omnipresent starting, in
the back court.
Then I Waited-and waited.
There was one day recently, when
we had that big wind, when most of the
bird food blew away.
That was all. Until yesterday, which
is now big date for me.
About 10 am. my wife telephoned me.
From the flutter in her voice,
thought the apartment was on fire.
1T wasn't.
"A cardinal was eating and singing at
our feed station!
For heavens sake, urge your clients
to be patient.
Best personal regards, J. P. Y"
