FRIDAY
UItimatum to Mr.. Lewis

The tone of the ultimatum which
the President has sent to John L.
Lewis, demanding that the coal
miners be back at work by 10 am.
tomorrow, indicates that Mr.. Roose-
welt is determined to stand his
ground in this fight. There is little
else that he can do.
In his telegram to Mr.. Lewis the
President states the plain facts of
this case. The steps taken and
threatened by the miners are "clear
violation" of the no-strike pledge.
The strikes are not aimed at the
operators, but are strikes against
the United States Government it.
self" They are a direct interference
with the prosecution of the war, and
they challenge the governmental
machinery set up to adjust all labor
disputes. Finally, the production OF
coal must continue" for the simple
and obvious reason that without it
we will lose the war.
These are the basic issues in this
dispute, and neither the silence nor
the oratory of Mr.. Lewis can conceal
or becloud them. Developments of
the next few days will show whether
the supreme authority in this coun-
try lies with its Government or with
a forceful labor leader who has been
permitted and encouraged to take
control of key industry.
Meanwhile, storm signals are flying
In another labor quarter. Repre-
sentatives of the AFL, CIO and rail-
road brotherhoods, in a joint state
ment, have selected this critical time
to challenge what they call the ad-
ministration's "two-faced national
policy with respect to wages and
prices" In lieu of further wage
increases, they are demanding that
the President roll back prices to the
level Of May, 1912, and have served
notice that unless this is done labor
can no longer hold its acceptance of
the Presidents stabilization policy to
remain in effect.
This threatening development,
coupled with the outright defiance
from the coal miners, is evidence of
a rising tide of resistance in the
ranks of labor against wartime re-
straints which they consider dis
criminatory and oppressive. No one
can say what the net result will be,
but 1t looks very much as though
matters are going to get worse before
they get better.

THIS AND THAT
We would instantly put sibelius' "sy,
By Charles E. Trace,Dell.

We would instantly put Sibelius' Sym
phony No. S" on any list of the 10
greatest symphonies" but that is .
recent addition for us. 1t was only after
we heard Koussevitsky and his Boston
Symphony play it on the air, over Station
WMAL. one Saturday night, that We
realized what fine work it Is.
The Victor recording, by this conductor
and orchestra, is surely one Of the great
est recordings ever made.
This column has printed, from time to
time, over the years. bird lists from vari-
Gus readers, both as to the species which
have been identified in various sections
Of the District Of Columbia and In near
by Maryland and Virginia, and also the
"best BIRDS" according to individual
taste.
The best of anything Is what one finds
the best, isn't it?
Surely no list OF the 40 best birds"
could leave out the wood thrush, which
usually arrives in this vicinity about
April 49,
1t would be impossible to leave It out
just as no one could leave out the nth
symphony Of Beethoven, the best known
of all symphonies, whether he liked it
or not.
Many persons, sincere persons, fairly
rave" over Beethoven's No. 3. We, per-
sonally, do not like it as much as either
the Nos2 or No. s. 1t Is our opinion that
the latter, commonly known as the PAS
toral Symphony" is usually underrated
by most music lovers It takes a good
conductor and good orchestra to bring
it out. For an excellent cheap record
ing of this, get the Victor set by Bruno
Walter and the Vienna Philharmonic.)
Birds and symphonies go together, just
as they go with books. We find the sing
ing Of birds in many fine works, both
musical and literary.
And it will be interesting to those per-
sons with secret sympathies for common
sparrows to know and keep in mind that
Beethoven, Wagner and many other
musical masters used the sounds made
by these birds in their works.
Surely, If bird of Washington city
had to be chosen, 1t should be the COM
mon sparrow-unless it might be the
starting!
Every place we 60, downtown, we find
these cheerful, bustling creatures, hus-
sting for a living from the streets and
very cutters, and making themselves at
home in the White House grounds as
we'll as in the more prosaic parks.
This species, while not as great an
insect eater as many Of our native birds,
does his full share, because there are so
many of him, and in the aggregate he
and his brothers and his sisters and his
cousins and his aunts will probably de-
stroy as many inimical insects as the
fewer more favored species.
This year, with vegetables and other
crops at premium, we cannot begrudge
the English sparrows their share in doing
the good work.

by the way, was another of Beethovens Is

ton has been against the canal at
this time.
The advocates of the barge canal
won a victory in the Senate last year.
BY q vote Of 80 to 80 in that body,
with Vice President Wallace casting
the deciding vote, breaking the tie,
they passed a bill authorizing the
construction of the barge canal.
What they hope now is that the
strength for the canal which existed
In the Senate in the last Congress
will maintain and prevail if the ap-
preparations committee recommends
the item and places it in the pending
bill. Since then, however, the per-
sonnel of the Senate has changed
materially, due to the 1912 elections,
and there is growing recognition of
the dangers in weakening the war
effort by non-essential undertakings.

Sneak Raids

Of this natural feeling. disproportionate
reaction against sneak raids. He hopes
to cause such . clamor as would compel
the diversion Of large forces to provide
against them. The raids have no other
purpose. Enemy pilots on them are
instructed to avoid military objectives
in order to lessen their casualties. Our
policy must therefore be to defeat his
strategic purpose while denying to him
the tactical immunity for which he hopes.
His losses show that we have achieved
this with = most economical outlay of

District Memorial

The annual May Day ceremony at
the District World War Memorial In
West Potomac Park Sunday after
noon should be an attraction for
thousands of patriotic men, women
and children to whom the memory of
the heroes and heroines OF the strug-
gle OF 1917-1918 is precious. Gradu-
ally it is becoming apparent that the
prevailing global conflict is but a
continuance of the earlier strife, and
that one single sacred cause embraces
both the older and the younger gen.
erations of Americans. It follows
that those who served in the past
are nearer to those who are serving
now than might have been supposed.
The program arranged for this years
commemoration is living history" in
the truest meaning of the words.
Let it be explained that though the
ceremony Is sponsored by the Ameri-
can Legion and associated groups, it
Is In no way limited to any particular
section OF the public. The Memorial
is community shrine in purpose
and intent, and newcomers to WASH
1ngton, as well as "old-t time" resi-
dents. are invited to attend. Briea-
dler General Frank T. Hines, admin
1strator of veterans affairs, will be
the orator of the occasion. The rites
include the massing of the colors and
the poppy professional of remem-
brance both profoundly moving
spectacles. It also has been an
nounced that there will be a tribute
OF song to the late Mrs. Frank B.
Noyes, whose determinedly patient
effort gave US the beautiful trees
and dogwood now surrounding the
Memorial"
Citizens who never before have
been present at the annual May Dav
celebration especially are urged to
take advantage of the opportunity to
add to their experience of patriotism
and spiritual dedication. If America
is to survive the present contest. 1t
will be because the people are pledged
fully and without reservation to God
and country.

TAILS CHURCH, Va.

Dear Sir:
1T would be interesting, to say the
least, to see various lists from bird
lovers IN this part of the country show
ing the most popular birds according to
each individual TASTE Doubtless each list
(of say 20 favorite birds) would vary,
because each person lives in a different
kind of habitat, and birds one person
sees q lot Of and admires another person
would hardly know. For instance, I
admire the wood thrush. but this lovely
bird Is heard quite distance away, and
does not deign to come into our yard
very often.
80, even among 20 birds, he would not
be on my list. To be popular with me,
the bird must be seen as well as heard.
So, as we live in a rather open section
(fields around us, woods about q block
away We have birds that are the non-
woods type, except for the birds that
patronize our feeder-the downy wood
pecker, titmouse, chickadee and nut
hatch. AS the cardinal is here all year
around, is beautiful bird female as
well as MALE, comes to our feeding sta
ton daily, has a CHEEKY whistle, and has
such endearing ways, this bird is perhaps
my favorite.
1.-THE 19 other birds that are likewise
favorites are hard to choose, but I may
be able to give rough idea as to which
ones rank high according to my own in
dividual taste. These could be the song
sparrow, mockingbird, robin, tufted tit
mouse, chickadee, bluebird, catbird, blue
jay, towhee, mourning dove, flicker,
downy woodpecker, nuthatch, -bellied
woodpecker, brown thrasher, purple mar
tin, house wren, goldfinch and bob-white
OF course, there are many, many more
birds that interest me just as much, such
as the birds of prey, hycatchers, cuckoos,
sandpipers, warblers, orioles and other
less known birds, but my list Of 20 are
birds which I could not do we'll without
in my own back yard
yours sincerely, G. B. S."
This list is good because 1t gives the
20 species which probably are in most
yards.
We would put into the list Of personal
favorites the English sparrow and the
startling.
There is no getting away from those
two, so you might as we'll like them.
There is big difference between 40
favorite birds" and 40 best birds" When
most persons think of such lists as these,
whether OF books, or songs, or SYM
phonies, or birds, they tend to think in
their own ideas of superlatives.
The joke always is that no two persons
agree on the 40 best" Of anything
Try to select the 10 best marches, for
instance.
Perhaps eight out Of 10 persons would
begin with Sousas "Stars and Stripes
Forever" but from there on 1t would be
anybody's affair.
The same with symphonies. Would you
begin with Cesar Francks one and only
symphony, or with Beethoven's No. s.
or No. 3?

An In-Timed Project

Under the guise Of war necessity,
designed to relieve the Eastern oil
shortage, the Florida barge canal
project is knocking at the door of the
Senate Appropriations Committee.
That committee is to make its deci-
sion next week when it passes on the
War Department civil functions ap-
propriations bill. Every argument
that could be found has been used by
an adroit and powerful lobby to
obtain the $4,000, 900 estimated as
the cost of the project. 1t failed to
impress the House Appropriations
Committee and nothing was done
about the matter when the House
passed the bill
Irrespective of the potential merits
of a barge canal across Northern
Florida, the reasons for not building
1t now are impressive.
First, the construction of the canal
could not be completed in less than
two years, according to the Army
Engineers. This removes it imme-
diately as solution of the Eastern
oil and gasoline shortage.
Second, the building of the canal
would require an improvident use Of
strategic materials. Not only for the
canal itself but for thousands of steel
barges in which to ship oil and gaso-
line, and steel tugs to haul them.
Third, this construction would
divert essential labor at time when
there is an acute shortage of man.
power.
Fourth, the estimates of cost for
the project do not give true pic
ture Of the expense involved. The
$4,000 figure is for construction
under peace time conditions, over
three year period. Major General
Reybold, chief of Army Engineers,
now puts the figure at $60,000,000 for
q two-year job. The cost Of con-
structing the barges and tugs-which
presumably would come out of Gov
eminent funds-has been variously
estimated from $45o, ,0oo, 900 to 81 $780,
100000.
Try as they did. the supporters of
the canal were unable to get the
Budget Bureau to include an esti-
mate for its construction in It's

Naming Of Northwest Highway
Again Discussed Constructively.

To the Editor Of The Star:
I have noticed some discussion in the
press about the naming of the new
ada-to-Alaska highway, which ap-
parently is destined to serve very vital
purpose in time of war and peace alike.
Possibly many readers have heard of
the term "Athapascan" as applied to
the three linguistic and geographical di-
visions Of North American Indians ex-
tending down from Alaska, through
Canada, into Arizona and New Mexico.
Considering the possibility that this
new Information highway might be linked
up with our own American highway
system down the Pacific Coast, why not
call it the Athapascan highway? But
II it were to be limited to Its present
status, a comparable term might be sub
even the Canalaska highway.
Any particular region of earth always
Is full of ancient heritages, and all Of
us would prefer to see preserved In
permanent name those features which
would best represent the efforts Of
the pioneers which make possible such
monuments, particularly speaking now
of the highway into the great north
western region Of our continent. We
must be grateful to our Canadian cousins
for ceding . vast right Of way through
their Dominion to our Alaskan territory,
so we should be willing to grant them
the greater share in the naming of the
highway, hence our suggestion Of Can
adaska, which, however, could be rem
dered as Canabaska to smooth out the

can understand the anxiety of those who
have the immediate responsibility of
carrying on the war. I can also under
stand the anxiety of those who fear that
when peace comes the United States may
not be adequately prepared for its grave
international responsibilities.
Why plan now for peace? Because no
wise man, whether a businessman or
statesman, is ever willing to be caught
unprepared Because when the war ends,
home problems are bound to loom big
and international problems receive less
attention. Because important decisions
will have to be made swiftly and action
cannot wait on debate. Because dis
agreements between the United Nations
are likely to arise when the common war
effort is ended. Because we must avert
a possible economic and moral collapse
throughout the world
Spengler, in prophesying the present
war, said that "the end of this war will
be the beginning Of catastrophe" This
may prove to be tragically true if we are
not fully prepared to meet our interna-
tional responsibilities. We must be fully
committed in principle to an all-out pro-
gram for international reconstruction
and security. No detailed blueprint Of
this program is feasible or necessary. But
We can at least make up our minds to
stand by the principles Of the Atlantic
Charter. It is now up to Congress and
to the American people to make our de-
cision before it is too late.
