Key Note

Andrew Paananen, cranberry
grower, was expecting a check from
the Government in payment for soil
conservation work. When he got it,
he almost collapsed. 1t was in the
amount of 81 900 015.25, just an even
million more than he had antici-
pated. AS he knew that he had not
conserved anything like a million
dollars worth of soil, he sent it back
to the Treasury, after he had had
several hundred dollars worth of fun
showing it to amazed friends and
bank officials.
At the Treasury it developed that
the operator of an electrical check
writer had accidentally pressed the
million-dollar key. Later a proof
reader OF checkS unsuspectingly
okayed it.
1t is obvious that electrical check
writer's are a positive governmental
necessity these days. Even elec-
tricity is none too quick at the enor-
nous job of writing out all the
checks needed, but it is suggested,
on behalf of the taxpayers, that the
million dollar key be removed from
the machine. Anything that makes
it a little more difficult to draw
checks for a million or more would
be most welcome.

Dubious Concessions

The House, with the open or i'm
piled concurrence of administration
leaders, has adopted several amend
mentS to the lease lend bill in the
belief that opposition votes gained
by these concessions would serve to
impress upon the rest of the world
the conviction that all major ele-
ments in the United States stand
unitedly behind the program of full
aid to Britain which is contemplated
by this measure. Unfortunately,
however, decidedly different i'm
preston is apt to be created.
What these amendments really re-
fleet is not unity but lack of unity.
To observers in other countries they
reveal that an element in the Amer
lean Congress which is i'm
portant enough to command con-
ciliation-insists upon tying the
hands of the President in the field
of foreign relations at a time when
he should enjoy the greatest possible
freedom of action in this respect.
1t may we'll be that the amend
mentS approved in the House do
amended, it will be possible to give
a very considerable measure of as
SiStance to the British. But there is
no gainsaying the fact that such
notifications as the limitation on
the amount of equipment which may
be transferred to other nations and
the curb on the use of American
merchant ships attempt to substitute
the present Judgment of Congress
for that of the President with respect
to conditions which may arise and
arise very quickly in the future. The
House, in effect, is saying that if
the Germans attempt to invade
Britain this year the President may
transfer equipment to aid the British
defense up to 10 per cent of our
own appropriations for defense in
1941, but that no more help can be
given even though it may be evident
six months hence that little addi-
tional aid might spell the difference
between defeat and victory for
Britain
The lending of official sanction to
such an attitude is bad on two counts:
First, because it implies distrust OF
the Presidents judgment, which is
wholly unwarranted, and second, be-
cause it arises from the same false
reasoning which led Congress to
adopt the arms embargo-an earlier
legislative attempt to read the future
which had to be repealed as world
conditions changed.
In the light Of this past record and
the lessons so plainly taught by it,
one may we'll doubt whether the
administration forces in the House
have acted wisely in making these
latest concessions for the sake of
an appearance of legislative unity.

and every vacant taxi was doggedly
headed for the more lucrative zones
beyond Florida avenue, for which. de-
spite my dismal mood, blame no hard
working taxi driver.
However, I believe that year in and
year out taxi fares within the 2O-cent
zone equal or exceed those from any
other zone. We 20-cent zoners are the
regulars" and I believe most of us
customarily add a nickel or dime to our
fares for tip.
Surely we deserve some transportation
facilities when the weather gets bad
or we need ride quick and are willing
to make it worth while. Streetcars and
buses are out" unless you can find
a place on the roof and can get there in
one running jump. SO it's up to our
friends, the taxi drivers, and here's
suggestion:
1 for one am willing to pay double
fare on rainy days and in other emer-
gencies. I would indicate this by some
signal which the taxi driver would recog-
nize to mean a 20-cent tip for 20-cent
fare, a Accent tip for Accent fare,
etc, an arrangement voluntarily offered
by me and in no sense comprising an
overcharge by the driver.
Unless some one suggests something
better, would signal this offer by hail
ing the cab with both hands. palms out,
the recognized sign of helpless distress
in any language. Only I'm not kidding.
The next taxi driver who gets this
sign from me, wherever am, will know
I'm in hurry, or don't want to walk in
the rain, or something, and am willing
to pay double for a ride. If he doesn't
believe it, he can ask me If I meant to
hold up both hands before he lets me
in the cab Then If I don't offer to pay
double the regular fare he can say,
"Sorry. but I'm answering a CALL" and
there1l be no misunderstanding,
TAXI RIDER.

Joining Forces

The cause of national representa-
ton for the voteless residents OF the
Nations Capital has been materially
strengthened by the action of Sena-
tor Capper in introducing in the
Senate a duplicate of the Summers
resolution, which would amend the
Constitution to empower Congress to
grant national representation to the
District
In joining forces with Chairman
Summers of the House Judiciary
Committee to support the latter's
resolution, a move which should IA
cilitate favorable consideration by
both Houses of Congress, Senator
Capper announced that he would
abandon a somewhat similar pro-
posed amendment which he has ad-
vocated for a number of years, and
thereby gave renewed evidence of
his very genuine interest in the well
fare Of the residents of Washington.
Both the Summers resolution and
that formerly supported by Senator
Capper provided for enabling amend
ments to the Constitution, but the
proposal which they now support
Jointly is simpler in form, in that 1t
merely increases the power OF Con-
gress with respect to the District
without directing how the increased
power should be exercised.
The Summers resolution, as Senator
Capper pointed out, also contains
two features not present in the reSo-
luton he had formerly offered. One
OF these would permit Congress to
delegate to a local government of
the District any of the power of ex-
elusive legislation over the seat of
Government of which Congress
might want, for the time being, to
divest itself. The other is that Con-
gress retains the right to amend or
repeal any legislation which might
be enacted under the constitutional
amendment, except that such modi-
f1cation or repeal could not affect
the Office of Representative or
Senator during the time for which
he was elected.
This form has seemed wise to some
champions of national representa-
tion, in that 1t does not attempt to
specify, in advance Of the Constitu-
tional amendment enlarging the
power of Congress, Just how that
power Is to be applied. This it leaves
for future Congresses to decide. And
the fact that all action taken under
the proposed constitutional amend
ment would be revocable at the will
OF Congress is regarded by Mr.. Sum-
ners and others as helpful in en-
phasizing the fact that Congress
remains free at all times to modify
or otherwise to change the form 1t
chooses for exercise Of new powers

The Swustiku

Uncounted ages before Adolf Hitler
first saw light of day, the symbol
known as the swastika was in COM
mon use as a decorative element
throughout the world. The standard
dictionaries of ornament describe it
as "a cross with equal arms, to the
end of each of which is attached a
line running at right angles to it, all
these extensions occurring on the
same relative side, so that all four
extensions have the same rotary di
reetion in relation to the center"
Generally regarded as representa-
ton of the sun, it has borne the con-
notation of solar strength and energy.
Far from being sinister in character,
1t stood for the power of light in the
universe. 1t Spelt happiness, rather
than misery. With that view of its
significance in mind, the artists and
artisans of ancient Greece and still
older Egypt reproduced it in their
domestic architecture, furniture, fab
RIGS, pottery, armor, weapons and,
most particularly, sacred monuments.
In certain applications it was re-
n1inder Of Immortality.
The philoSophic implications Of the
swastika had especial appeal to be-
levers in cosmic continuity. Per-
haps because it could be repeated in
an endless sequence with harmonious
effect, it was favored by the weavers
Of Navajo rugs, who made it familiar
to thousands of their patrons. The
Forty-ffth Division of the National
Guard, recruited in the Southwestern
States, chose it for a sign manual
Meanwhile, during thirty-one years,
the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts of
Chile employed it in recognition of
distinguished service. Rudyard Kip
ling, novelist and poet, adapted it as
his personal emblem and ordered it
stamped on the covers of his books
Then, a brief decade ago, the Nazi
dictator made it his own. The fact
that in the German conception the
wheel turns the wrong way did not
prevent an inevitable reaction.
According to the New York Times,
the Navajos, the Forty-fifth Division,

OF the making Of many books there
is no end, as was said so long ago: this
Is true of books about birds, too; in re-
cent years the publication OF bird books
as they are often called, has increased
tremendously.
Something of this is seen in the list
Of recently published bird books prepared
by the Library Committee OF the Audu-
bon Society of the District of Columbia.
Joseph S. Wade, chairman of the Lii
brary Committee, says: 1T will be OF
interest to you to know that this list is
now issued each year and is used regu-
larly in making purchases by the MEM
bership of our local Audubon Society, by
the District OF Columbia Public Library
and its branch libraries, and by the
Washington public school system and
others. Also several thousand copies are
widely distributed over the country
through informal cooperation with our
National Park Service"

A Notable Career

Few careers in American diplomacy
have excelled, either in tenure or
achievement, that Of Nelson Trusler
Johnson, who has just been trans
ferred from the ambaSsadorShip to
China to the ministership to Aus
tralia. Although technically the
change Of base represents a step
down in rank, Mr.. Johnsons assign
ment to a more congenial post is in
fact a recognition of the outStand-
ing service he has rendered the
United States during more than
twelve years of continuous duty at
three successive seats of Chinese
government-Peiping, Nanking and
Chungking. Mr.. Johnson became
Minister to China in 1929. In 1885
he had the distinction of being
named our first Ambassador to that
country, then in the early throes of
the japanese campaign Of conquest,
which was to eventuate in full
f1edged, though undeclared, war in
1887.
Representation of American inter-
ests in China, in the face of sys-
tematic Japanese provocation, grew
increasingly difficult. The bombing
of the U. S. S. Panay was the crux of
a cumulative series of irritating Incl
dents at Tientsin, Nanking, Shanghai
and elsewhere, calling for firm pro-
tests against the violated rights of
American citizens. Decisions as to
appropriate courses of action had
often to be made instantaneously and
without opportunity for consultation
