sons in this important organiza-
ton do not feel in sympathy with
the present program. This is un-
fortunate. Even if none of the
criticism is justified; realize
that, as Health Officer, I am open
to criticism for not having kept
the support of this group. 1 shall
take immediate steps through fur
Their meetings to establish better
understanding and to investigate
and correct any unfairness which
may exist in the distribution of
our health services.
Gin the meantime, however, it
is only just to the Health De-
partment employees and to the
groups who are supporting our
program and our request for more
employees that l answer the Com
mittee's criticisms.
Health Budget-The Committee
reports, correctly, that our coun-
ty now spends for public health
$50, 235 plus School Board health
expenditures. The latter is $670
, per year. The sources of the

lows:

ices to School children) $40

Prince Georges County Budget
The committee states that the
Prince Georges Health Officer is
asking for 43c per capita, and that,
since we are asking for SLIPS there
is lack of uniformity among health
officers Aspirations" The re-
quest for Prince Georges does not
mean that there is the full amount
which the health officer considers
necessary for an adequate pro-
gram. He has undoubtedly re-
quested less for reasons similar to
those of my small requests of past
years.
AS to the fractional basis for
budget increases, these can be
found for Prince Georges county in
DIR. Freeman's request survey and,
for Montgomery county, in my re-
port of last September. / presume
that the health section Of the
Bookings Institution report will
contain further facts.

Jackson Day Address

The President, in his Jackson Day
address, Steered a cautious middle
course, avoiding both partisan poll
tics and the specific issues of the
time
Once again, and with all the clarity
and vigor of expression of which he
is capable, Mr.. Roosevelt drew the
picture of the menace which totali-
tartan aggression holds for the United
States. And again, in plain terms,
he sounded an appeal for national
unity in the face of danger, setting
the example himself by his tribute
to the Republican party and its
titular head.
The address will be searched in
vain, however, for any inkling of the
Presidents plans for making certain
that the war supplies we are pro-
ducing actually arrive at their des-
tination abroad, or of his program
for maintaining steady production at
home in the face of widespread labor

the first point may be and probably
is thoroughly justified by reasons of
strategy, but the motives which con-
sistently impel him to avoid or gloss
over the ugly issue of industrial dis
putes are difficult to comprehend.
There can be no question that the
great majority of the American peo-
pie are strongly opposed to any strike,
whether the fault lies with manage
ment or labor, which ties up the
defense program. And these people
are looking to the President for lead
ership in suppressing these inexcus-
able industrial disturbances. 1t is
all very we'll for Mr.. Roosevelt, seek
ing national unity, to appeal for
courage and more courage-action
and more action" but these things
cannot be had, at least not to the
full, as long as he continues to side
step the pressing issue of industrial
disorders and contents himself with
vague illusions to the fate of indus
trialists in Germany and workers in
France.

DeIineution of q Hemisphere

An announcement by the German
government to the effect that Brit
ish-occupied Iceland and the waters
surrounding the same are to be
included in operations intended to
constitute counterblockade of Eng
land raises again the question of the
boundaries of the western Hemi-
sphere
The problem, it is we'll to recall,
has been discussed at intervals dur
ing several centuries. Long before
the beginning of the present war,
geographers and other students were
at variance in their views concern
ing the meaning of the phrases this
hemisphere" and "the American
continents" occurring in the text
of the Monroe Doctrine as set forth
in it's sponsors message to Congress,
December 2, 1923.
Within the lifetime of scholars
living on the date last mentioned,
Benjamin Mills Peirce, son of Prof.
Benjamin Peirce, superintendent of
the United States Coast Survey, pre-
pared for the State Department "A
Report on the Resources of Iceland
and Greenland" which was published
in 1868. This document, a monument
of a sort to its gifted young author
who died in 1870 aged only twenty
six, declares with reference to the
former territory: "This large island
- is one hundred and thirty miles
east of Greenland and eight hundred
and fifty miles west from Norway.
BY location, then, it belongs to the
Western Hemisphere and is an in
sular dependency of the North
American continent" Further, the
same writer affirms: "It Qceland)
- seems to be rather American in
its connections than European, espe-
cially as we may add that its most
important and most populous coast
is the western"
The position of Mr.. Peirce is in
dorsed and supported by Colonel
Lawrence Martin, chief of the Divi-
sion of Maps in the Library of Con-
greSs, who, in the Geographical
Review for July, 1910, submits zone

geographer's individual view of the
extent of the Western Hemisphere"
accepting the proposition, "convinc-
ingly" shown by Vilhjalmur Stefans-
son, that Iceland is a part of the
Western Hemisphere"
But Samuel Whittemore Boggs,
geographer of the State Department,
Is not entirely convinced. Address
ing Representative Edith Nourse
Rogers of Massachusetts on June 8
last, he said: 1T seems better
to regard this hemisphere in which
we live, in relation to the land areas
of the world, as comprising North
America Gncluding Central America
and the West Indies, and also Green
land) and South America, together
with all islands appertaining to the
two continents" The omission of
specific stipulation of Iceland may
be assumed to be Intentional; yet
there is room for argument as to the
meaning of the concluding words of
the quoted sentence.
Meanwhile, Admiral William v.
Pratt sums up the basic issue in
NeWSWeek as follows: "Geographers
place the Atlantic boundary of the
Western Hemisphere at 20 degrees
west longitude. Old German aliases
put it at 17-40 west. AS the
lease-lend act does not define the
limit, it is up to the President to
choose among the many definitions
which have been offered"
A decision, obviously, ought not to
be reached in haste. 1t must be
remembered that a scientific confer
ence in Paris in 1880 adopted the
meridian of Ferro, subsequently
found to be almost 20 degrees west
Of Paris or approximately 17-4O west
of Greenwich" In fairness, it has
to be conceded that the maps of
France as well as those of Germany
for more than three centuries have
been faithful to this rule.

Protests Destruction of Trees
On Playground Site.

To the Editor of The Star:
Sometime ago a section at Lamont
street and Hiatt place NV. was pur-
chased by the District of Columbia for
playground or recreational center.
This property has been allowed to be-
come a disgraceful mudhole and a
24-hour parking lot for scores of cars.
The only redeeming feature from our
viewpoint is one gorgeous maple tree,
haven for many birds, and giver of
wonderful shade for any recreational
center.
When workmen arrived few days
ago, it seemed apparent that now this
disgraceful area was to be beautified and
perhaps made public park for the many
elderly people in this section to enjoy.
And what was the first thing the
aforesaid workmen did? Why, they be-
gan digging at the roots of this lovely
maple tree, and are proceeding to remove
it! If some one doesn't come to the
rescue they will probably remove the
trees from the far end of this area.
There ought to be law! Do we have

mittee? A. T. w.

Italy started the war with nineteen
cruisers, of which she has thirteen
remaining in commission, according
to latest advices. She has lost about
a dozen of the 127 destroyers and
torpedo boats which she had, and
more than a score of her los sub
marines. If the news of the latest
naval defeat, of the reverSes in Africa
and of the seizure by the United
States of twenty-eight Italian mer-
chant ships in American ports is
allowed to reach the Italian people
today, this will be an exceedingly
blue Monday for the fading Fascist
empire.
