putting the national debt In the
neighborhood Of two hundred and
fifty billion by the time the war is
over, and Senator Byrd is raising that
estimate by another fifty billion.
The long seventy-seventh Congress,
which Just ended, appropriated more
than two hundred billion dollars for
the war in two years More and more
borrowing will be necessary, neces-
sary to fight this war and only the
continued response by the people will
make that borrowing possible.
It will be possible, for the income
is there and the spirit is there. The
harder we are knocked around as a
people, by ration hardships, by stag
gering taxes, by the discor1fting
fumblings of the huge bureaucratic
machinery of government and by all
the dislocations and tragedies of
total war, the harder we shall come
back. We are Just beginning to learn
what war is. But after the shock Of
initial Establishments, our people
will live up to what their men at
the front expect Of them. Certainly
the men at the front are living UP in
every way to what we expect of them.

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles Z. TroceDeu.

This is all very disconcerting to the
kind-hearted person who puts out food
regularly.
The feed bills are no small item, If
he provides food all the time.
He at least would like to be rewarded
by being made to feel that the birds are
his friends.
As it is. he sometimes doubts it, as the
birds fly away at his approach.
In our own experience, the best we
can say is that the hundred or so birds
Of many species which come regularly
to the yard are not as "scary" as they
we're several years ago.
Now, instead of flying clear away, they
perch in the shrubbery about ten feet
to the rear of their favorite feeding
place.
They remain as quiet as mice, quite
evidently not wishing to attract any at
tention.
Their attitude certainly supports the
theory Of our correspondent, that the
birds seemingly recognize the right of
private ownership
Yet, can they have any such recogni-
tion7
That Is the question, which we leave
to our readers for answer
Against the theory may be placed the
plain fact that when the food runs low
in feeding station the birds will fly
over to the windows and indicate their
desire for more.
They do this by flying in and out of
the strubbery, by cl1eeping and making
unusual noises and sometimes even by
f1uttering against the window.
In our own home this demand for
more food is recognized by all their
friends.
THE birds want more food" some one
says, and, sure enough, look at the
feeding stations shows them to be empty.
In favor. may be cited the territorial
theory of bird song, which says that the
singing is really stalking out of claim,
at nesting time
This would seem to indicate that the
birds really have some distinct ideas of
OWLlCI SLIP, JLSb as our correspondence
points out. And yet it may be added
that 1t is easy to go too far in attributing
human ideas to animals and birds.
we do not know of any way to make
the birds refrain from flying away the
moment some one comes into the yard.
Over the years we have had various
letters from correspondents indicating
that this flight did not occur when they
went into their yards.
In such cases, our belief is that here
are certain persons who attract birds,
just as there are persons who attract
dogs. We have received many letters
from readers who have said that birds
will fly down to their shoulders and
hands, and yet no bird has ever flown
down to our own hand. There are so
many mysteries left in bird behavior
that there are still almost as many op-
| portunities for observation as when Au-
! dubon was boy.

Fiscal G-kAen

The announcement that infuen-
tlal members of the House are
planning to set up a staff of "finan-
clal Omen" with congressional
authority to go into the various Gov
eminent departments and bureaus
and find out how much money they
should be allotted is step in keep
Ing with the indicated intention of
the new Congress to use a heavier
pruning knife on future appropria-
tions.
Heretofore, as Chairman Cannon
OF the House Appropriations Com
nlittee has pointed out, Congress has
been Handicapped by the fact that
1t has had no way of determining
departmental financial needs except
by questioning the officials seeking
the money. This is obviously unde-
sirable, and especially SO at a time
when 1t Is proposed to pare the APP
propriations wanted by these off,
Gals. In the great ma 1ority of cases,
certainly, 1t is not that these
officials wilfully nisrepresent their
requirements, but rather that, being
human, they lean strongly to the
view that while economies may be
fine for the other fellows project,
theirs is important and ought to be
left untouched. In circumstances
such as these, the appropriate
committees have found it difficult to
cut intelligently, and there can be
no doubt that their economy efforts
would be greatly facilitated If they
had the benefit of advice from their
own experts.
This will be especially true If, as
indicated, an effort is made to look
into complaints that funds are being
wasted in war as well as non-war
agencies. 1t Is one thing to make
more or less arbitrary reductions in
appropriations for the latter. Such
a procedure is never desirable, but In
the case of non-war funds it Is un-
likely that irreparable damage would
be done. The case is different, how
ever, with appropriations for the
conduct of the war. While 1t is quite
possible that Congress could make
savings in this field without impair
ment of the war effort, it is also true
that unwise reductions could be
highly preiudicial to our military
program, and for that reason 1t
would seem to be of first Importance
that the appropriation committees
should have the benefit of the best
advice--fron their own experts
that is obtainable.

Rome with any hope Of success

Rome with any hope Of success
against the growing strength Of the
United Nations. A report from Berne
in Switzerland suggests that he now
is removing his military installations
and soon will declare the capital IAN
open city" He knows that the
patience of his enemies is exhausted
and that they are capable of reaching
him even in the shadow of the
Vatican. BY the same logic also he
must realize that the entirety Of the
italian kingdom is endangered by the
futile continuance of It's slavish rela-
ton with Nazi Germany The sooner
Italy gives up the struggle, the better
for the italian people. Pope Plus XII
should be an ideal negotiator Of sur
render. Even Hitler probably would
hesitate to order an assault on Rome
were the Holy Father to assume
control of its destiny in the pre-
vailing crisis.

ARLINGTON, Va.


Dear Sir:
Bird feeding and watching has been
one of nv hobbies since 1916
THE birds-praetically al species Of
the local winterins birds-appear to
think that the feed-bird seeds, sunaower
seeds, peanuts, raisins, table scraps, etc
I put out upon the feeding trays is mine,
not theirs, and that they in eating it
are robbinE me The result is they are
afraid Of me. When I appear on my
premises, tens Of feet away from the
feeding station, or when they see me
watching them eating through my din
inc room window about Is feet away
from the feeding tray, they take to their
wings, often suddenly and all at once.
It have never chased away any bird,
nor frightened them in any way. They
are afraid of me as the owner OF the
feed. They see me putting it out and
changing the water in their bath tray.
"Yet, when work in my garden in the
summer the same birds tolerate my pres
ence at a distance of few feet. Last
summer a song sparrow alghted upon
the back of the garden chair on which
was resting and sang his soft, melodious
song almost in my ear. It was never
to-be-forgotten performance.
Now, the same song sparrow. when
eating at the feeding station and MOTTO
ing me, even tens of feet away, hastily
beats it. Why7
do the birds recognize the natural
right to private ownership as they are
supposed to recognize and honor the
right to a certain territory in which
they nest and which they defend by
singing and fighting against outside in
truders? Is there way to make them
feel the feed is theirs as soon as it Is
put upon the feeding tray?
Respectfully yours, p. A. S."
Every one who has fed the birds for
any length Of time has noticed this
phenomenon.
Even the English sparrows, at feed
ing station, act entirely different from
the way they do downtown.
will fly down beneath a pedestrians feet
for q bread crust which may happen to
be lying there.
In the suburbs however, in some yard
where feeding Is carried on, the same
bird and its cousins and its aunts will
be entirely wild.
The same goes for the pigeons. In
the downtown streets these fat birds
remain in the cutters until bus wheels
are almost upon them.
A driver assures us that the men no
longer bother with not trying to run
over them, they are so sure that the
pigeons will get out Of the way He
said that he had never seen one run
over.
In the suburban garden, at feeding
station, the pigeons act as wild as the
sparrows. The moment any one comes
into the yard there Is q great futter Of
wings and away go all the birds as il
the devil were after them.

Rome Endangered

Many Americans, reasonably
enough, are concerned about the
fate of Rome as the war moves
nearer and nearer to the Apennine
Peninsula. Only the tolerance Of the
British government has spared the
community which Pope Innocent II
in 1889 declared to be "the capital
of the world" The Raj could have
demolished the center of Fascist
power long ago, If it had been per-
naitted to strike. One circumstance
alone is responsible for the present
exemption of the ancient city from
attack, namely, the identification of
a large portion of 1t with universal
Catholicism.
Rome, in brief, is the institutional
focal point of Christianity. Mussolini
merely happens to be In tenuous
physical possession of 1t. BY no
stretch Of the Imagination can it be
regarded as his legitimate property.
During uncounted centuries all roads
have led from, as well as to, the town
which Caesar Augustus found in
brick and left in marble, the seat of
Saint Peter and the scene OF the
labors of Michelangelo, the greatest
of graphic artists. From its seven
hills, it's Forum, its most magnificent
of all cathedrals, It's academies, It's
libraries, its galleries and museums
civilization has gone forth to the
utternnost ends of the earth. The
Anelo-Saxon mind understands the
significance Of the sacred city and
shudders at the thought of willful
injury to it.
But Rome has been rendered desc
late on numerous occasions in the
past, and it is conceivable that history
might repeat. The Gauls burned the
city in 387 BIC; four armies under
Marius, CHINA Carlo and Sertorius
forced 1t to submit exactly three CEN
turies later: Nero saw 1t reduced by
confagration which he attributed to
adherents of "the new faith" in Ga
AID; Alaric occupied the whole
neighborhood In 410 and was followed
by Genseric in ASS, Odoacer in 476,
Totila In 54s and Arnulf in 596. The
Constable de Bourbon paid with his
life for the capture Of the principal
Notifications in 1927, but the French
armies of 1890 and 1900 found the
task less difficult and costly when
they essayed 1t with relatively mod
ern machinery.
Il Duce certainly could not defend

Over the Top

Secretary Morgenthau has good
reason to feel deeply gratified by
the public response to the financial
needs of our country in this war"
For the response to the Victory Fund
has exceeded expectations, If the.
expectations were reflected in the
original goal of nine billion dollars
this month. This sum now has been
topped by a billion and quarter
dollars and the Treasury Is antici-
pating eleven billion dollars before
the end of December.
The Victory Fund drive represented
the greatest single effort in Govern
nent borrowing In our history, ex-
ceeding by four billion dollars the
previous record set by the Fourth
Liberty Loan campaign during three
weeks of 1918. And the response, in
addition to being the sort Of news
the Axis leaders dread to hear" as
Mr. Morgenthau puts 1t, Is the sort
of news that is music to the Treasury.
For a great part of the Treasury's
efforts were placed on selling secur-
tiles outside the commercial banking
system. The results so far indicate
that more than half Of the purchases
were made by investors other than
the banks. The wider the participa-
ton of the people, in these loans,
the sounder becomes this method of
financing and the less the danger
of imitation.
This record financing In December,
of course, is not the end-but, as Mr..
Churchill said in speaking Of other
things recently, is the end Of the
beginning. Senator Tydings Is now

Religious Editorials Commended
BY Reader Who IS Bible Student.
Ia the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor Of The Star:
May I express my appreciation and
thanks for your outstanding editorial on
Bible Sunday?
Readers of the secular press seldom
see such emphatic expressions as to the
value of Bible teaching on current events
and national life. If believed, as you
cite, it might serve as an theological
foundation for civilized human exist
ence'
Even casual readers of the Old Testa-
ment must take it to be a history of the
origin and struggle of the Hebrew people
for national existence. 1t may be trite
to say that Moses was the greatest and
Wisest statesman who has left his mark
on constitutional government and polit-
ical economy. But it can be seen that
the oath chapter of Deuteronomy states
at length and with certainty the rules
and conditions for national prosperity.
1t is worth while to note that our
American republic thus far has followed
the Deuterononlic conditions and rules
more nearly than any other people and
has prospered accordingly.
Your editorial on the Methodist Mes
sage" deserves like praise and thanks.
