Disappointing Delay

AS Senator Connally is himself an
advocate of international collabora-
ton as the basis for our postwar for
eign policy, he obviously is guided by
tactical considerations in arguing for
delay on the many pending resolu-
tions in the Foreign Relations Com
nittee relating to that subject.
He mentions some of these consid-
erations. He does not want to risk
the results of "intemperate and trou-
hle-making debate" in the Senate,
capable of producing "irritations or
vexations at critical period In the
conduct of the war" Senators do
not hesitate to avail themselves of
the privilege of unlimited debate, and
he is sure they would so avail them
selves now.
Yet the Senator's views, in which
he is Joined by colleagues who feel
as he does about the principle of
collective security, are disappointing
Though conducted under strict rules
limiting debate, which would not
prevail in the Senate, the House
vote on the Fulbright resolution was
significant and really noteworthy
expression of national sentiment.
Indorsed by comparable majority
in the Senate, the Fulbright or some
similar resolution would have noti-

william to military life by courtesy or
inadvertence of the strikers. Did
they console themselves with the
thought that this was only small
segment of our war effort that was
being disrupted; that, after all, only
a mere fraction of one per cent of
our war production was being tied
up? Probably not. The chances are
that they were thinking of the in
equities Of a system under which
their Government sends them off to
war. whether they want to go or not,
while the men upon whom they must
depend for munitions are left free to
strike or to work, as they see fit.
No, this strike did not cripple our
national war production. But it left
its scars on the morale of these young
soldiers,

conner to suburban areas. In normal
times many thousands of such persons
move every year to the suburbs.
Even before they notice the birds, they
pay attention to the squirrels, and react
to their grace, liveliness and humor.
Very few persons who watch squirrels
will question their possession of sense
of humor
1t makes no difference that they can
not comprehend many things which ap-
peal to humans as humorous.
Such things, after all, are not the
essence of humor.
The basis of all humor Is what we call
slap stick" This phrase is plain in
itself, and needs no explanation.
Simple farce, whether of the trough
house" variety, or the more refined, has
survived all attacks
1t is the basis of all "funny business"
and appeals to persons of all ages and
tastes
1t was the backbone of Elizabethan
comedy, just as it was of the famous
comedies which come down to us from
the ancient Greeks.
Today we see it in a thousand forms on
stage and screen. 1t touches the IA
nous funny bone, and causes laughter
from all sensible persons, even from
those who pretend that they know better.
The squirrel is this basic sort Of
comedian.
He capers and frisks, not according to
any set plan, but by the natural laws
Of buffoonery.
He is the clown Of the ages, rolled up
in fur and adorned with great tail.
The frisks and bounces he gives that
tail, and in fact his whole being, are
directed by sense of the comic, as
surely as if the fellow had a stage name
and part.
Any one who watches squirrels for any
length of time will be sure Of this. and
win watch some of the finest natural
| comedy in the world.
This may be done right at home, in
| the suburbs
There is no need for going any place,
or paying anything
The performance is free.
Sure enough, this is prime fun of the
natural order, based on good spirits and
| a real sense of the comic.
We have watched squirrels run for a
tree. then, at its base, leap high into the
| air and throw themselves around in a
complete circle before landing.
Even as they whirl, they will look
| around with those bright eyes to see if
| they have an audience.
When they do, they twirl 1t once more
for no other reason, one may be sure
than to get more applause.

mission had worked and achieved cer-
tain goals. All hymns were carefully
studied from every angle, translations
were improved, hymns rarely used were
dropped. The content of words was
edited and revised in accordance with
sound theological doctrine. About 10
ancient hymns of great beauty, for
merly dropped, were restored.
Some very beautiful hymns of our
modern times were included.
Some outstanding church musicians
who served on the commission were Leo
Sowerby, David Mex. Williams and
Canon Winifred Douglas. The commit
tee was composed in all of clergymen
and musicians from widely separated
places, representing many different areas
and schools of thought in the church.
Such modern writers of words as Harry
Emerson Fosdick and Jan Struther are
found in the index of authors. In this
index of authors, translators and ar
rangers" is found also the name of F..
Bland Tucker who Is responsible for a
number of hymns there, though the
writer had to learn this without Mr..
fuckers aid.
One of the hymns selected by Mr..
Tucker was set to music bv DR.. David
NICK. Williams, organist and choirmas-
ter of st. Bartholsmew's Church, New
York, at Mr.. fuckers request, and the
tune was named Georgetown" by Mr..
Williams in honor of Mr.. Tucker.
A number of beautiful Anglican hymns
have been added, as also some great
hymns built on the chorals of the
Reformation period.
Some of the mechanical changes in
the hylnnal seem most important. All
hymns have been transposed to key
low enough to make easy singing for
the average voice. The printing, spacing
and arrangement is an outstanding sue
cess and some critics say it is superior
in this respect to any hymnal produced
so far.
The book begins with hymns of the
church year, running through from Ad-
vent to Trinity, and this is followed by
other classiflcations. A group of very
beautiful Christmas carols will be found
there and especial attention has been
given to hymns for children.
The words Only" edition, not yet
published, will have the melody line in
cluded which is an advance from the
old way and should stimulate congre-
gational singing.
The full music copies have been placed
in all of the peWs of st. Johns Church,
Georgetown, by member of the parish
in memory of Grace Fisher Cox and
service of dedication was held by Mr..
Tucker. MARY MINGE WILKINS.

"TAKOMA PARK.

Dear Sir.
Both squirrels and children are get
ting very careless about traffic.
"All summer I noticed both of these
species playing in the streets, owing to
the lack of automobile traffic.
The squirrels were the funniest. One
hot day I saw a squirrel lying down
fiat on its stomach in the middle of the
street, with its legs and tail spread out.
ut was trying to cool off!
Il believe that the gasoline rationing
is having a bad effect in this way, by
making many small animals less fearful.
when normal traffic is resumed,
wonder what is going to happen?
Sincerely, c. D. S."
The children, we believe, will take
care of themselves
After all, they are pretty smart.
They admit it.
The squirrels too, are by no means
fools. They were quick in getting onto
the fact that the traffic has 1essened,
and when gasoline restrictions are lifted
they will catch onto that, too.
In suburban sections it is often diff
cult to tell where street and parking and
lawns end.
They all run more or less into each
other. In normal times it is no unusual
thing to see children and squirrels and
dogs playing together in the middle of
suburban streets.
The agility of small animals is what
saves them.
They are always ready and willing to
run.
Perhaps they have the old Chinese
maxim in mind:
"Of the % ways of getting out of
trouble, the best is to run away"
Speed and agility are particularly
characteristics of the gray squirrels, ia
| miliar to most persons in our suburban
sections.
There are few animals which are any
faster. A chipmunk may be, but how
much Of this is due to its size is hard
to tell.
The smaller the creature, the faster 1t
seems to go.
\ \
Squirrels are perpetual marvels to
| persons interested in nature.
They are so full of life, so interested
in what is going on, so tame, and yet so
wild, that they lure every one into
watching them.
Even these persons so often encoun-
| tered, who seem to have no interest
whatsoever in such things, will stop now
| and then to watch them.
They are the first of all the wild crea-
lures to attract attention of the new

fed the world that the United States
is prepared to join with other ma
tions in maintaining peace after the
war. Therein lies our greatest hope
of maintaining peace after victory.
The Senate debate, of which SEN
ator Connally spoke, will be held
some day. If held now and failure
to agree on the extent to which we
should commit ourselves on the prin-
ciple led to mere approval, lacking a
heavy majority, the cause itself
might be injured. Senator Connally
undoubtedly has that in mind. His
Judgment in postponing the matter
is not criticized. The results of his
appraisal of Senate sentiment, how
ever, are disappointing.
For there are two distinct aspects
of this Endorsement of a postwar for
eign policy based on collective Sc
curity. One is the Endorsement
merely of the principle, as in the
House-approved Fulbright resolution.
The other is the Endorsement, by a
two-thirds majority of the Senate,
of the means by which the principle
is to find execution.
The first Endorsement, given now
by House and Senate, would be help
full in the preliminary conversations
with our Allies over the pattern of
the peace.
The second could come only after
the war, when we are dealing, not
with theories, but with the hard and
fast particulars of agreements or
understandings.
1t is disappointing that so astute
a Judge of the temper of his COL
leagues as Senator Connally does not
believe that the sentiment is there
for immediate Endorsement of the
bare principle. For we should be
championing that principle now,
confident of our ability to agree later
on as to the terms of it's application.

Correction and Apology

statement of fact, which it regrets
and for which it apologies, in saying
that Gallinger Hospital had not won
recognition as nursing school,
Since 1904 as Capital City School

accredited school by the Board OF
Nurse Examiners of the District of
Columbia. The Stars statement mis-
interpreted the results of a survey of
the school by the Board of Nurse Ex-
aminers in February, 1912, pointing
out desirable Improvements which
should be made at the school. The

Prelude, to Bottle

One Of the leaders of the striking
employees of the Pacific Electric Rail-
way Company has been quoted to this
effect: 1--WE were asked to authorize
movement of troops, ammunition
and mail, but when we moved to close
up the system, that didn't mean we

And apparently he was not exag-
gerating to any great extent.
The strike. aimed at the Govern
ment and not at the railway COM
pany, forced 100000 commuters to
flnd other transportation, if any,
and tied up some 1000 carloads
OF freight before being called off.
And this in an area which includes
some Of the Nations most important
war plants-plants which needed the
freight and the strike-bound COM
fnuters.
On Friday, first day of the strike,
only three trains were known to have
moved over the Pacific Electric sys-
tenn. Two were mail trains, taken
out by nonstriking employees. The
other, ironically enough, was filled
with men who had just been indicted
into the Army. 1t is not clear how
they happened to go through. Per-
laps it occurred to the strike leaders
that, after all, somebody has to fight
this war. Or perhaps they realized
that an actual stoppage of troop
movement would bring publicity un-
favorable to the union.
But most Americans will not be
greatly concerned with what was in
the minds of the union leaders. The
more important question runs to the
thoughts OF those young men aboard
the train who were passing from ci-

u. S. Postwar Collaboration
From Montreal Daily sta


The United States House of Represent
atives, by an overwhelming majority of
$50 to %, recently adopted resolution
favoring participation by the United
States In appropriate international ma
chinery with power adequate to estab-
lish and to maintain a just and lasting
peace. This resolution, which was de-
scribed by its proposer, Representative
Fulbright, as "just the beginning of
the process of building a foreign policy
for the Nation in this modern world"
may be taken as a direct and hearty in
dorsation of the policy enunciated last
week by Mr.. Cordell Hull, the American
Secretary of State, when he declared: :
"It is abundantly clear that system
OF organized international cooperation
for the maintenance of peace must be
based upon the willingness of the CO.
operating nations to use force, if neces-
sary, to keep the peace"
The most important question that
will arise later on Is whether a post
war Congress will indorse this present
policy, but those who may fear a repe-
tition of the last postwar develop
ments, when Congress turned down
President Wilson's plan for American
participation in the League of Nations,
should bear in mind that the conditions
are very different today Pearl Har-
Dor awakened the American people
once and for all to the fact that they
cannot continue to occupy their great
position in international affairs with
out recognizing, accepting and dis
charging to the best of their ability the
international responsibilities which that
position imposes upon them.

Discusses Palestine
As Home for Jews.


To the Editor of The Star:
I have read with interest the Sunday
school lesson printed recently in your
publication and written by DR.. William
T. Ellis. His sympathy for the plight of
the Jews is unmistakable and must COM
mand the respect and appreciation of the
Jewish people, but he has certain mis-
conceptions about Zionism which tend
70 color his views and since they have
lication, I am constrained to address
myself to those statements which do not
square with the facts. .:asssoss
The idea of Zionism is not a distrac-
ton, as he states On the contrary, 1t Is
practical program sanctioned by in
ternational law and vindicated in
achievement. Fifty-one nations of the
world, speaking through the League of
Nations, and the United States, speak,
ing through Congress, have given formal
approval to the reconstruction OF Pales-
tine as the Jewish national home.
1t was never intended that all Jews
would or could return to Palestine, as DR..
Ellis assumes. Most Jews now living in
democratic lands will continue to live
there by preference. On the other hand,
many Jews in Europe will never be able
TO reintegrate themselves in lands that
have been turned into vast graveyards
for Jewish dead. They must be per-
mitted to return to Palestine-there to
find haven, there to rebuild their shat
tered lives and permanent home.
Achievements Of the last Is years in
Palestine have confounded completely
the pessimists. who still think of Pales-
tine as barren, neglected and desolate
land. Moreover, these achievements
have made possible significant con-
tribution to the war effort of the United
Nations in manpower, in agriculture and
in industrial resources.
DR.. Ellis believes that "disillusionment
awaits the zionists at the peace confer
ence because of the hostility of the
Arabs"
Space does not permit an adequate
consideration of the Arab problem here.
Suffice it to say that in weighing the
needs of the Jews and the Arabs, rec
ognition must be given, above all, to the
fact that the Jews have had no home
land of their own, whereas the Arabs
have vast and sparsely populated terri
tories. The building of the Jewish home
land involves no sacrifice for the Arabs
its destruction would be calamitous to
the Jews
Finally, Dr. Ellis suggests that the Jew
lsh problem will be solved if the Jews
take upon themselves the mission of
being active proponents and practition-
ers OF the Decalogue. This is idealism
of the highest order and certainly no
one more than the Jew could wish that
evangelism would eXtirpate the evil of
ant1-Semitism. But this is world of
reality. The recitation of the Decalogue
will not stop Nazi firing squads. If we
have mission today, it is to do all that
we can to win the war and the peace
tEat follows 1t. AS Americans and as
Jews we strive for a progressive world
order in which the elementary rights of
peoples, including the Jews, will be re-
stored and guaranteed.

GloboI War View

oCC1Ctdly y VI tllc NAVY FRANK Knox,
now in London, highlighted a press
conference with British and Ameri-
can newspapermen by urging the
necessity for a truly global outlook
to fit the waging Of war emphati-
cally worldwide in character and
scope. With objective impartiality he
chided both the British and Ameri-
can peoples for their proneness to
think of the war predominantly in
terms of the theater of action in which
they are most interested, forgetting
or minimizing the Importance of
other combat areas in the eventual
outcome.
Specifically, Mr.. Knox told his Brit
ish listeners that they are wildly
aware Of the war in Europe and all its
implications, but "you are not nearly
SO well aware Of the equally great
war which is now going on long
way from you. think the reverse is
true in America. We are perfectly
conscious about, and think and talk
a great deal about the japanese war,
and correspondingly less about the
European war"
Contending that both mental atti-
tudes were unfortunate, MIR. Knox
urged that they should be corrected,
and that the British and American
peoples must become fully aware that
these conflicts, though geographical
ly remote, are integral parts Of a
single war, equally vital to the future
security and progress of Britain and
America. Lack Of truly global war
attitude on both sides of the Atlantic
might have harmful consequences. As
an illustration, the Secretary warned
that nothing would more disturb
Americas growing confidence in Brit
1sh relations than to have them feel
that, when Hitler is disposed of, the
bulk of the job is done and you can
leave the rest to us. That must not
happen"
Then Mr.. Knox made his second
point by adding: And it's up to the
British press to see that it doesn't
happen" Unequivocally, he placed a
great share of the responsibility for
creating a global attitude OF mind in
Britain and America squarely on the
doorstep Of the newspapers OF both
countries. No more constructive task.
he asserted, confronts the Anglo
American fourth estate than this
great responsibility"
Mr.. KnoX's thesis is, of course, not
new. The need for global war-mind-
edness has been repeatedly empha-
sized by leaders in both countries.
notably by Prime Minister Winston
Churchill and President Roosevelt.
Yet perhaps never before has the
educative role of the press been so
cogently and forcefully stated as has
now been done by our Secretary of
the Navy. Lack of such a global vision
has occasioned the sometimes acri-
monious controversies between pro-
ponentS of the European" and
Pacific" schools of strategy And it
has not been confined to Britain and
America. The Australian press has
been often strongly sectional in its
views of the conflict.
Such sectional attitudes, and the
unfortunate controversies they en-
gender, would be progressively elimi-
mated by deeper understanding on
the part of both the press and public
that the war is basically one, and
must be so conducted to integral
