modern times is different from its
prototype. Few trees Of any sort re-
main on the avenue now. Not much
of anything else remains, either.
Meanwhile, the Czechs and the
Slovaks have made of the linden a
national legend. Several explana-
tions of their traditional interest in
the Tiliaceae are given. According
to DR.. Joseph Jordan Weisskopf, its
popularity dates back uncounted
centuries in relation to the folk arts
Of healing. Tea made from the dried
blossoms of the linden, he testifies,
is familiar medicine in Czechoslo-
vakia for almost all varieties of all
ments. Bees in swarms are at
tracted by the clusters of pale
yellow-green flowers. The resultant
honey has been called the finest to
be had anywhere on earth, and it
is natural that it should go into the
market in boxes of silky white lin
den wood, clean and strong and
durable.
In Masaryk's country no other
tree grows more abundantly. The
custom of ceremonial paintings be-
gan long before independence was
achieved. But when freedom was
accomplished twenty-five years ago,
the very first postage stamps of the
Czechoslovakian republic, showing
the cathedral and castle at Praha,
were decorated with heart-shaped
linden leaves. Similar recognition
of the national symbol took the
form of watermark of leaves of
the linden impressed into the paper
on which stamps were printed from
1925 onward.
Generally known as Eastwood in
America, the linden grows native
from the Atlantic Coast to the
Rockies and is especially common
in the States adjoining the Great
Lakes. particularly Michigan and
Wisconsin-with the prosperous fur
niture industry Of that area as a
consequence. Nearer to Washington,
at Lititz, in Lancaster County, Penn
sylvania, the Moravian settlers who
came from Bohemia in 1857 brought
the linden tradition with them. The
famous school for girls which they
set up in 1894 still bears the name
of Linden Hall Seminary.

The Linden Tree

The planting of examples of the
Tilia genus of trees at American
University by representatives. of the
republic established by DR.. Thomas
G. Masaryk in 1918 recalls to mind
the symbolic significance of the lin
den not only to the citizens of
Czechoslovakia but to many other
peoples.
Heine suggests the reason in the

a chance, with the help Of the Japa-
nese, to win the war?
All one can do is speculate on this
score, but it is interesting to note
how these amazingly absurd Japa-
nese claims are in accord with Hit
ler's advice to propagandists. The
more colossal the lie, says the
Fuehrer in "Mein Kampf." and the
more often it is repeated, the more
likely it is to be believed Sooner or
later, to be sure, this formula is
bound to fail. but meanwhile the
Tokio-Berlin Axis can be expected
to make the most of it.
The New Order" after all, is
founded on falsehood, and it must
keep on promoting falsehood to
survive, and so it will promote it as
long as it can. knowing that that is
the only way to hold itself together.
The japanese claims, in this sense,
may be regarded simply as an off
shoot of a much bigger and much
more basic lie

of smaller and defenseless birds. Elo-
quent testimony concerning the commits
sion of these crimes Is furnished by the
outcry set up by such birds whenever
they catch Jay lurking near their
nests. But we need not take the birds
word alone for it, because he has been
caught red-handed by man. more than
once, in the very preparation of these
villainies"
The very article in which this para
graph appears, however, says that
stomach analysis indicates that about
three-fou1ths (76 per cent? of the jays
food consists of vegetable matter. and
that noxious insects comprise almost
20 per cent of his food Predacious
beetles contribute about 3a per cent.
This leaves" says the big book, but
l per cent for the birds and eggs, the
mice, fish, salamanders, snails and
crustaceans that make up the remainder
of the diet"
If We can believe these figures, and
there Is no reason why we cannot, we
may feel that the bird lover is un-
fortunate who happens to see personally
the commission of murder by jay.
He is seeing but / per cent of the
birds habits, an altogether unlovely
per cent, Of course.
1t is no excuse for the jay, but prob
ably fact that such species as the
grackle kill many more young birds every
year.
The jay is such bold one, and so
loves to shout his presence that he at
tracts the attention of all persons in
terested in birds, and no doubt the eyes
Of many who have little interest in our
feathered friends"
Therefore, no i'll deed of his is over
looked.
We have been trying hard to catch
jay up to something bad in the past
10 years and have never succeeded.
Perhaps the bad jays are just un-
fortunate in being caught in the act,
just as some ca is are.
The really bad bird-catching cat is
one cat in hundred The rest spend
most of their time creeping, only to have
the birds get away.
But many persons believe that all
cats catch birds. Nothing could be fur
ther from the truth. 1t is a speciality
among them.
We believe that this is true of the iav-
birds. Every living species has it's mur-
derers, as the celebrated cases in the
daily papers prove. The jays are not
a blameless race, but on the whole prob
ably have no more baby killers among
them than most tribes of creatures
One crime that cannot be attributed
to blue jays is the distribution of poison
ivy seeds.
The jay will not eat them.
He does, however, consume sunhoyer
seed at lively rate and does. as our
correspondent states, stuff his cheeks
with them.
He is not really as greedy as he looks.

the seeds are later found by chickadees,

We believe that in this way the bold
bluejays probably keep alive many more
birds than they ever kill

Monopoly" Blamed
For Freedoms Betrayal"

To the Editor OF The Star
Modern civilization has progressed"
to point where we have witnessed. in
startling reality, the wholesale betrayal
of nations, large and small. The forward
vention has rendered much more simple
the task confronting the barons of be-
trayal
We, in America, speak and fight for
individual freedom. But do we really
know how to protect it? France the
cradle of liberty, took pride in its free
institutions. Frenchmen questioned its
possible loss as one questions the air we
breathe. Are there many Frenchmen
who realize even now the true causes of
their enslavement? I don't believe so.
There are many who feel that the way
to prevent slavery is merely to shout for
free speech and to attack the Govern
ment in everything it does.
1t is one thing to shout for free speech
and for free press, but quite another
to recognize the insidious forces which
threaten their very existence.
4IClC was llIIlc III hIltIlCd wien our
chief concern seemed to be the Chicago
gangsters and Tammany Hall. They
constituted threat to good government,
but they did not seem bent upon the en-
slavement of whole peoples. They were
out to pocket as much graft as they
could and fighting them sometimes was
even interesting and exciting.
Far different is our struggle against
the engineers of economic enslavement.
They operate not only in America. Their
interests are scattered throughout the
world. Modern concentration of power
is far cry from the cheap ward heelers
of yesterday. A lack of knowledge of
the true meaning of free enterprise did
not seem to many so dangerous then.
When this war is over the people again
will be confronted with an alternative.
Either we attack the monopoly which
generates poverty and war by choking
honest enterprise and free competition
or we allow it to go free and attack only
the evils which the monopoly of natural
resources has brought in it's wake.

FuIsehood and the Axis

For the past several days the Jap
anese have been telling such
fantastic story about American naval
losses in the Bougainville area that
they must have some very special
objective in mind Either that. or
their propagandists have suddenly
become infatuated with lies to the
point of madness.
The Toxic radio, echoed faithfully
by the Nazi-controlled Paris radio,
has reported more than 100 of our
vessels, including several battleships
and carriers, sunk or severely dam
aged since our initial Bougainville
landings. Our Navy, it has said, has
received IAN annihilative blow which
is even more disastrous than the one
experienced at Pearl Harbor" And
celebrating upon this, its counter
part in Paris has trumpeted forth the
claim that since October 27, up to
seventy-five United States ships have
disappeared in the waters off Bou-
gainville" and that many of these
were transports carrying thousands
and thousands of men,"
The Japanese, of course, have "an-
initiated" the American Fleet on
several different occasions and have
made many a similar wild claim
since Pearl Harbor. But their cur
rent propaganda is far more ex-
travagant, shrill and persistent than
any they have issued in the past,
and for that reason is particularly
puzzling. The fact is that no major
sea battle has taken place since our
Bougainville landings. and all our
losses-very negligible ones-have
been announced by our Navy up to
last week. Why, then, these extraor-
dinary enemy boasts? And why does
the Nazi radio in Paris repeat them
with great fanfare? Is it possible,
as some suggest, that there is a
morale crisis in Japan and that this
sort of thing is needed to Offset it?
And is it possible that Goebbels must
play up such news" in order to make
Europeans think that Hitler still has
