The time is spent in these pro-

devoted to the study Of public

are spent in the study of politi-

A TYPICAL DAY
From $50 to 1890 a. m, the
bows meet DR.. Jacobsen in an
informal class in which topics
connected with their studies are
discussed. He then assigns two
students each to go to the offices
OF the Securities and Exchange
Commission, Food and Drug Ad-
ministration, Civil Service Com
mission, Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Customs
Bureau of the Treasury Depart
ment. Arrangements for their
reception and guidance are made
in advance by DR.. Jacobsen.
The students are given every
opportunity to see how the bu-
reaus are organized, what their
work is, how they arrange their
budget and direct their person
mel. Day after day may thus be
spent for a month. At the end
of the semester each student is
supposed TO write elaborate re-

that the punishment is compounded
because Imprisonment entails loss Of
citizenship.
Such an eventuality is no concern
of the Federal Government. AS the
Attorney General explains, the draft
law recognizes and respects the right
of men who, because of religious
scruples or for some other reason
equally we'll founded, are unwilling
to bear arms. These will be employed
in -combatant duty. The Gov
ernment does require all within the
fixed age limits to register, however,
and there is no excuse for failure to
comply. 1t hardly would be argued
that opposition to preparedness con-
Stituted grounds for refusal to pay
taxes because the money is used for
the defense program, but essentially
there is no difference between such
a stand and attempted evasion OF
the registration obligation.
There is a touch of irony, too,
when protests against possible loss
of civil rights come from those who
are unwilling to give practical
demonstration of their willingness to
preserve those rights.

The BuIqur Puzzle

Premier BOgdan PhllOff has made
the public statement on Bulgarian
foreign policy which he promised
after returning from his recent
"health" trip to Vienna. This eagerly
awaited speech was delivered at
RuSchuk, a port on the Danube just
across the river from German troops
maSSed on Rumanian soil. In an
ticipatiOn of his pronouncement, the
rumor mills located at neutral points
such as Berne, Belgrade and Istanbul
ground out their accustomed grist
of sensational press dispatches about
alleged ultimatumS, menacing troop
movements and imminent invasions
Premier Phil0ff'S remarks did not
bear out those journalistic alarums.
Addressed primarily to his own peo-
pie, his speech was judicious mix
ture of reinsurance and warning.
Bulgaria'S desire for peace and con-
tinued neutrality was emphasized,
while domestic trouble makers were
admonished that National Social
ism, FasciSm and Communism may
be good for Germany, Italy and Rus
Sia, but they cannot be tranSplanted
to Bulgarian soil" However, he
warned his fellow countrymen that
today war and peace do not depend
on small nations like Bulgaria. She
is SO small that she cannot dictate.
We have therefore to be ready for
any eventuality to defend BulgariaS
vital interests, her freedom and her
independence under all circum-
stances"
Concerning foreign reports of Ger
man pressure on Bulgaria, he was
silent. Yet TaSS, the official Soviet
Russian news agency, issued special
communique on the subject. With
that curious technique so often used
by Moscow to make its position
known by indirection rather than by
a direct statement, Tass, denying
foreign press reports, stated that
Germany has never asked Russia's
consent to the entry of German
troops into Bulgaria and that Bull
garia has never approached Russia
with an inquiry regarding the
Soviet attitude toward such a pas
sage of German troops. Consequently,
asserted Tass, if German troops &C
tually are in Bulgaria, and if the
further dispatch of German forces is
under way, "all this has occurred
without the knowledge and consent
of the U. S. S. r."
Between Premier Philoff's innocu-
Gus platitudeS, rumor-mill alarms
and Tass hypothetics, we seem to be
confronted with another of those
diplomatic jig-SaW puzzles that have
recently so obscured the course of
European affairs. Perhaps the most
reasSuring factor Is the Balkan win
ter, which would be apt to be as
rough on German mechanized
blitzkrieg as it was in Albania with
the fancy gadgets of the Italian
Army. Winters icy grip will not be-
gin to lift from the Balkans before
April. That is one point on which
we can be practically certain.

them back to Germany and Italy and

these nations would have additional SOL

are all Americans like Washington and

Explains Purposes
OF Spanish Rescue Ship

To the Editor of The Star
The men who first fought Fascism are
sitting today, half starved, in the prison
camps of France. Behind the barbed
wire are their women and children. To
save these heroes, the American Rescue
Ship Mission is chartering and equipping
a ship large enough 10 carry many of
these persons. No other organization
in the United States is attempting this
task.
These are the facts concerning the
rescuing OF men and women who were
the first to defy Fascism:
Since the choice of those to be trans
ported is made by the receiving country,
the mission is in no position to favor
refugees of any particular race, creed
or party.
The refugees will be transported only
to American nations desiring such
migrants, but which nations are unable
to bear the expense of their transporra-
tion.
Throughout the three years of war
which the people and government Of
Spain fought against Fascism and
Nazi-ism, the label Communism" was
flung at them in an attempt to bring
about their defeat In the light of the
present war, these brave people stand
as the foremost fighters for democracy.

Argues That intellectual Laws"
Will Save Civilization.

To the Editor of The Star:
The history of mankind is teeming
with interesting material. 1t seems to
be the general opinion that there are
periods when people know too much
and another when they know 100 little.
Those who see civilization bursting like
a soap bubble have not read much of
human events or they would know ply
sical disturbances only impede human
progress temporarily. Scholars recog-
nize two groups of laws affecting human
events: The moral and the intellectual
The progress of civilization has been
largely due to the intellectual laws,
whereas the moral laws have been only
of temporary duration. The intellectual
laws always have rescued mankind from
destruction, as was the case many years
ago when Spain was plunged almost
into utter demoralization. Agricultural,
as we'll as all the industrial arts had
become lost in that country once
famous for it's skilled craftsmen. Highly
trained men were brought from Ireland,

War of the Little Houses

This is war of the little houses,
Thin-roofed helpless,
Vanishing like houses made Of cards.
A war of the little people
Scurrying like hunted animals from hole
to hole;
The very old clutching thread-bare
ShaWlS
Across their Shrunken breasts;
The very young stricken with terror:
The pregnant women shielding their I'M
born.
Night after hideous night
They search for shelter, search for sleep,
Driven by the shrek of bombs
That fling destruction, agony and death
Upon their heads.
Yet, they bear these endless days
These crashing, screaming nights
With spirits undismayed
With valiant faith.
And surely as the gorse
Makes beautiful the English downs.
Surely as the silvered nightingale
Upon silvered bough
Ravishes the night with song,
VIII England rise triumphant, strong,
And with her will arise
The little houses,
The little people.

is, after ALL an invention. 1t is far
from perfect. In no other field of
mans endeavors, however, are the
weights of traditions and inhibitions
so heavy. Ancient metaphors crys-
talize into modern words and the
process seems irreversible. Joyce
tried, not without glimmerings of
success, to reverse it.
He produced much that was incom-
prehensible, much that was disgust
ing, much that was beautiful. His
fame, it is likely, is secure. 1t will
rest on firmer foundations than the
production of one of the curiosities of
literature, much of which many of
his most devoted admirers wish had
never been written.
The true greatness of this Irish
exile will rest on the fact that he was

foundations of human expression.
He sought out the wells in the uncOn-
sciouS from which words arise-auto-
matically we sometimes feel. He went
back to the beginnings not of Ian
guage alone, but of human thought,
of which it is the absolutly essential
medium.
We think as we do, in large meas
ure, because the words our remote
ancestors invented for us are what
they are. Thus, it might seem, we
are hopelesSly chained to the past.
For his Herculean struggles to break
those chains James Joyce seems des-
tined to be remembered as one of the
outstanding figures of his time. The
Sprouting and Towering of the seeds
he planted are yet to come.
