day without loss. picking up the Of
fensive against Hitlers Europe a
few hours after British Mosquito
planes had made night attacks on
Western Germany.
Not an enemy plane was seen by
the Marauder pilots, who were
escorted on the mission by fighter
craft. All the swift two-motored
Mosquito planes likewise returned.
NaN planes weakly retanated
against Britain, attacking London
for the sixth straight night.
The Mosquitoes detectives were
not identified, but Swiss reports that
foreign planes passed over that
country indicated some of the tar
gets may have been in southwestern
Germany.
Twelve German planes crossed the
British east and southeast coasts
during the night, but only o few
reached London. Bombs were
dropped at several places in the
London area and in Kent and Sus-
sex counties, but they caused little
damage and few casualties.
The air correspondent Of the Lon
don Daily Telegraph suggested that
the Germans were using a new fast
plane, possibly the one-engined
Messerschmitt 410 fighter-bomber,
for the raids on London. Like the
British Mosquito, the Messerschmitt
410 has a speed approaching 400
miles per hour and only three have
been definitely destroyed in the six
raids.

Time for q Question
From the Winnipeg Free Press.

From the Winnipeg Free Press.
The air force needs more air crew?
Well and good More air crew must be
found, if the young men are available
anywhere. But, the public is asking,
have adequate steps been taken to find,
inside the air force as now constituted,
all the potential air crew that is already
there? 1t is enough to visit any air
establishment to see numbers of young
men employed on administrative tasks
who certainly look like potential air
crew. 1t may be that they have special
skills that keep them in their present
posts. Few questions have been asked Of
the authorities who have charge OF our
armed forces about their use of their
recruits. The time has come to ask
them now, for the simple reason that
the number Of young men of military
age and good physical category is linn
tied. There are no longer In Canada un-
limited numbers to call on The situa-
ton calls for the most scientific use Of
the limited resources We have.

What Ho! The Bicycle

Some of the traffic authorities and
their friends are fairly itching to get
their hands on the bicycle and plans
are afoot to ask that Congress pause
in its deliberations over the war long
enough to pass law requiring
registration, taxation, tagging and
inspection.
That is wholly natural develop
ment. Nothing can expect to remain
uncontrolled for long these days, and
the bicycle, for some strange reason,
has remained free agent-possibly
because there was such fun regulat-
ing the automobile that the bicycles,
in normal times, were picayune stuff.
But now that automobiles are declin-
Ing and bicycles are increasing, the
bicycle looks like white meat. The
flxers are after it with all their GUS
tomary zest for something new to
regulate.
Perhaps identification tags and
some form of registration would be
helpful in recovering stolen bicycles
and in making out proper tickets for
trafiic violators, so that more people
can be hailed into court. The subject

Why Not Abolish

All Cities and Start Over?
To the Editor of The Star:
1t is too bad to spend any more money
on the City of Washington. The city is
suffering from such a severe case of
obsolescence, that it would be far cheaper
to move it to some more desirable place
and start from scratch. Important con-
siderations that should influence the
creation of new capital should be:
l. A more central location in the
United States.
2. A desirable climate-the present ore
is abominable.
3. An arrangement like Vatican City,
Rome, which would include nothing but
government buildings, completely self
sufficient and self-governing. Architec-
ture should be of pleasing Colonial brick
with white trim, which is in good taste,
but not extraordinarily priced like marble,
etc. Residences should be nearby, also
of controlled architecture The housing
unit at Mclean Gardens is good ex-
ample of pleasing architecture. The
eternal argument about what the Gov
ernment should pay toward the upkeep
of the Capital City would be solved at
last, and the horrible mess of Slums all
scrambled up with our million-dollar
marble memorials and buildings could
not occur.
This should be an outstanding post
war matter for Congress to work or.

Psychiutrist for Court

The appointment of psychiatrist
for Juvenile Court represents definite
progress in meeting the problems of
juvenile delinquency here, and
climaxes a long effort by Judge Fay
Bentley to bolster her staff by the
addition of a medical aid competent
to recognize and deal properly with
mental cases.
Since the passage of the revised
Juvenile Court law five years ago,
Judge Bentley has urged that
psychiatrist be assigned permanently
to the court, which has been re-
quired to rely on an outside agency
for examination of those youngsters
whose lapSes were believed due to
mental quirks. When the new home
for the court was built in 1910, a
clinic was provided, but no attend
ant was made available until few
days ago when the Public Health
Service assigned Doctor Stanley
Geshell from the Federal Narcotic
Farm, Lexington. Kentucky. DR..

Opposes Change in
immigration Laws.

-
In the future we may expect vigorous
efforts to change our immigration
policies from a matter of domestic to
international concern. 1t is now being
suggested that We regulate by treaty the
persons who may be admitted into
country as political refugees. Thus a
nation party to the treaty would lose its
right to determine for itself whom it
would exclude. The next logical step
would be to regulate by treaty the per-
sons who may be admitted as immi-
grants. Thus our immigration laws could
be nullified.
Nearly all arguments to relax our i'm
migration laws are predicated on the
proposition that immigration should be
looked upon as an international rather
than domestic matter. Every one knows
that admitting lot Chinese year would
do us no good from domestic stand
point, but 1t is said that we should
placate the Chinese.
Admitting unassimilable races from
Europe, the Near East and other coun-
tries can do us no good. but 1t is urged
that we should help absorb. the excess
populations of those countries.
Our country in the past has been an
excellent dumping ground for foreign
undesirables and other nations would
like for us to continue to be dumping
ground. They will succeed If they can
persuade us to regard immigration as an
international rather than domestic
matter. r. WILSON.
