Why Not Try Love?

A certain writer, speaking of the
futility of force in solving the prob
lens of the world, concluded by de-
claring: "In the end we may have to
turn to love-"
1t must be conceded, however, that
any mention of the principle of love
these days is very apt to be greeted
with more or less impotence, if not
with ridicule.
Yet, notwithstanding this present
dav attitude, human nature being as
it is, it still remains true that many
a difficulty in your life can be solved
by the APPLICATION of the principle of
the Golden Rule.
The Good Samaritan found this to
be true. Unlike the Pharisee and the
High Priest who with absolute indif-
ference passed by their own fellow
Jew, this Samaritan, even though he
realized him to be his bitter enemy,
did his utmost to get the injured man
10 All 1Ilu WLcIC nc SNCAA PoAO Vic ONA
penses of his recovery.
In the first place, in so doing, the
Samaritan delivered himself from the
deadly clutches of race prejudice. In
the second place it diminished some
of the vitrolic hatred of the rescued
Jew toward Samaritans in general.
Thus the principle of love when
properly applied reduces the fric-
tions of life and brings about better
understandings and relationships.
No life can be radiant when be-
clouded by MISUNDERSTANDING, pre-
JUDGES, suspicious, and hatreds.
Therefore give love a chance. Seek
to overcome evil with good. Enter
upon an earnest effort to help others
as you would like to be helped, and
you will not only discover the les
sening of tension, but there will come
to you an awareness of brotherhood.
AS the Scriptures declare: "Love
never faileth." 1t is heavens great
est constructive force.

Generals lead armies. colonels lead regi

the non commissioned officer - the sergeant,
the corporal and the 6rst-class private - who
leads the men. They are the ones who must
direct the small fights that are part of the
larger battle plan.

County Improvements

Prince Georges County has every
reason to believe that it will benefit
greatly in the years to come from the
action of the county commissioners
in authorizing the sale of $500 900 in
bonds for public improvements in
the Metropolitan Area. The plan is
to use the proceeds for the purchase
Of land for such things as parks,
school playground sites, sidewalks
along heavily Travelled highways, road
widening, reconstruction or repair,
condemnation of unsightly or haz-
ardous roadside buildings, tree plant
ing or highway Identification.
With the manpower situation
acute, the county will merely acquire
the land. It will not undertake any
construction at this time. Plans and
specifications will be drawn, and the
necessary preliminary legal and en-
gineering steps taken so all will be
ready when the war ends. This should
lay the foundation for a public
works program that will aid in post
war adjustment, county officials be-
lieve.
The individual projects making up
the improvement program are to be
selected by the county commissioners
upon the recommendation OF a
county advisory board which was
created by the Legislature in the
enabling act authorizing sale OF the
bonds. The arguments which the
advisory board advanced to persuade
Evening star., 1942-08-04

the county commissioners to dispose
Of the bonds at this time contain an
interesting forecast of what the
board believes the future holds for
the Washington area. In the argu-
ments as presented by Oliver Metz
croft, board member, it was pointed
out first that the bonds could be dis
posed of now on favorable market
and the property purchased at an
equitable price because, with priori-
ties tying up construction, owners
OF unimproved land probably would
have no other purchaser than the
county. Then the board noted that
after all previous wars Washington
continued to expand and the same
thing is apt to happen after this one.
The rate of increase dropped sharply
in the past, but normal growth"
continued. The commissioners were
impressed with this prophecy and, in
effect, they are wagering $5oO,OO0
that history will be repeated.

No two persons, as we have stated be-

1t is much as when the carpenter,
come to oust wood borer, asks various
members of the family to locate it.
One points at one spot in the rafter,
another at another, and no two at the
same point, although all hear the same
sound.
Probing by the carpenter reveals the
culprit at some distance from any guess.
Nobody. in other words. had guessed
the same-and none of them right.
Any one who tries to identify birds

There are few sights in the garden
more pleasing than the catbirds waiting
for their handout Of raisins.
Simply throwing the raisins into the
grass is the best way to serve them.
Catbirds sit patiently in the shrubbery,
waiting for the treat. Mockingbirds join
them
Robins, too, like raisins.
Even wood thrushes find them ac-
ceptable.
These and several other species appre-
ciate this oelicacy at all times, but seem
to get a special delight out of eating
them this way.
Persons who do not feed the birds in
summer at least ought to try this method
now and then
The birds in the yard will soon come
to look forward to the feeding. Nor will
they forget, if several days go by without
any.
Every evening, at the same time, they
will come to the shrubs, and wait there
and chatter away.
Even when the raisins are scattered
| from the porch, few of the songsters will
| fly away
They will begin to fly down before the
| door has closed.
Robins will bring their babies, and
| gorgeous cardinals will come with theil
young, although they prefer sunflower
seed.
A mixture of sunfower seed and
raisins, scattered in the grass, will gel
them all.

the War Labor Board of keeping urban
wage rates abreast of the cost of living
is therefore impossible of execution ex-
cept by drafting, i.e., by enslavement, Of
farm labor; otherwise it is sure to be
'pirated."
Payment of subsidies to keep labor
on the farm is bootstrap- lifting scheme
that involves dilemma in finance which
seems to be beyond the comprehension
of New Dealers. The New Republic, for
example, proposes cost-of- living ad-
vances in wage rates because it is "gen-
timely necessary to maintain productive
efficiency" Yet in the same breath it
is proposed to pay such genuinely"
necessary further wage rises in the
form of War bonds" so as to prevent
the use OF the added wages on higher
costs OF living, ie., on the maintenance
of the genuinely necessary produc-
tive eff1ciency!" Funds accruing to the
Treasury from this genuinely necessary"
investment in War bonds C'forced saw
ing') obviously would have to be paid
out again to subsidize farm labor and so
would not be either devoted to arma-
ment or kept out Of the "inhationary
gap" in purchasing power. This dilemma
is not fully apparent until we consider
what the official weekly organ of Brit
ish chartered accountants, The Ac-
countant, calls the postwar credits" Of
this so-called forced saving" scheme. I
quote: I'VE sometimes wish that the
Chancellor of the Exchequer when
making budget announcements would
help us all to be little clearer In mind
about the effect of contributions which
are enforced through taxation. The
famous postwar credit which is still
as vague as ever, is case in point
This is constantly represented to tax
payers as benefit which will come
back to them in the future. We think
rightly treated this benefit by ignoring
it when evaluating the assets of COM
mercial concerns. 1t seems incredible
that the intention can be to pay 1t out
In money, but even If it were so dis
bursed at future time, that could only
be done by increasing taxation in paral-
lei, thus redistributing as a burden on
possibly different taxpayers the pay
ments made by their predecessors ;"
There is, Of course, the alternative
which the British accountants think
unworthy OF mention, namely, payment
by the very inf1ationary use OF bank
credit that was, by sheer temporizing,
avoided when the War bonds were issued
to encourage" Cor enforce) Saving"
The bonds are investments only as they
are tax free; yet unless nonbond in
come be taxed the bonds cannot be
cashed except by imitation. To impose
sufficiently heavy tax on non-bond-
holders to pay off tax-free bondholders
will be so difficult politically that, If
the bonds are not openly repudiated,
imitation must be the chief means of pay
ment. Unlike wages, War bonds are
not guaranteed to produce a parity"
or cost-of-living income after the war.
Many authorities have pointed out that
this involves . serious threat Of post
war imitation. FARMER.

The PetriIIo Case

The Justice Department is leaning
on slender reed in attempting to
use the Sherman Act to deal with
James Caesar Petrillo, head of the
American Federation Of Musicians.
This results from the fact that the
Supreme Court has virtually i'm
munized labor unions against the
antitrust laws. In seeking to enjoin
some OF the characteristic Petrillo
activities, however, such as the re-
cent order forbidding union members
to make phonograph records, and
the ban on a broadcast by a high
school orchestra, Assistant Attorney
General Thurman Arnold is at least
making the public conscious once
more Of the sort Of abuses that are
fostered in the name OF trade union
ism.
The Government complaint falls
along two lines. The prohibition on
making records, which would dam
the flow Of canned music" into
luke boxes" and other outlets, is
attacked as move to destroy COM
peting business. Such incidents as
the ban on the radio concert by the
high school youngsters at later
lochen are catalogued as part OF
conspiracy by union officials to
eliminate all radio musical perform
ances by other than union musicians,
and to force broadcasting stations
to the expense Of hiring standby"
musicians when union men are not
needed for programs.
The principal obstacle that stands
In the way Of the Government suit
is the Hutcheson case decision in
which the Supreme Court interpreted
the Clayton and Norris-La Guardia
Acts so broadly as virtually to fore
close any chance OF successful anti
trust action against labor unions.
The Justice Department now con-
tends, however, that the offenses
alleged in the present proceeding
are outside the scope of the Hutche-
son decision, as the actions COM
planned Of have no bearing on "terms
or conditions Of employment" and
therefore are not entitled to the pro-
lection intended for labor by the
Clayton and Norris-La Guardia Acts.
1t is to be expected that the Pc
trillo case ultimately will reach the
Supreme Court. The outcome will
be awaited with interest.
