railroads, equipment has been used
Ito such an extent that safety of
operation has been seriously i'm
paired"
The Pennsylvania wreck, which
took the lives of some eighty
passengers on the Congressional
Limited, has been traced by investi-
gators to burned journal, which
derailed the front truck of a coach
and started pile-up behind it. A
locomotive boiler explosion caused
the derailment of the Centrals
Twentieth Century Limited. Either
accident was susceptible of being
induced by equipment defects, care
lessness, or combina ton of the two.
Somewhere within this area, the
blame lies. The wrecks did not "just
happen, and the ICC inquiry can be
expected to determine the causes.
The death toll is harsh reminder
of the need for the railroads to
give more thought to safety of
operation, even though it does en-
tail a sacrifice of some of the refine
ments which they have adopted to
compete for business. 1t also en-
phasizes the danger of traffic load
that burdens the Nations trans
portation system, and correspond
ingly constitutes a powerful argu-
ment against all but necessary travel.

Russia Defeats Italy

When the Anglo Medi-
terranean offensive got under way
the tone of Russian comment was
that this was an interes ing but not
too important secondary operation
But now that Italy has been knocked
out of the war, and the Axis broken,
the Russians are quick to Jump in
and claim major share of the credit
for this accomplishment.
If this may be put down to an
excess of national pride. it is family
irritating but of no great conse-
quence. There is no doubt that Rus
STA, indirectly, has contributed
great deal to the defeat of Italy, and,
after all, the defeat of the enemy is
more important than the question of
who may claim credit for the vic
tories. 1t may be quite another mat
ter. however. if this Russian claim
is advanced as part of considered
policy of the Soviet government.
Russia has long aspired to an I'M
obstructed outlet to the Mediter-
ranean. In the First World War,
when Turkey was allied with Ger
many. the Russians were promised
Constantinople, but this promise
was abandoned when the Commu-
nists came to power. And while 1t Is

Bond Selling Regarded
As Serious Business"

To the Editor Of The Star:
think we ought to black the attack"
more strongly, and send to Hollywood
quickly for much larger galaxy of
stars We want the Third War Loan
drive to be success, and I can't see
why we should force ourselves to get
along here with a mere dozen stars in
Guiding 1sh-Kabibble, when we could
cinch success by importing 80 or 40 more
of these super bond statesmen. 1t is not
too late If we take immediate action. If
arrangements could not be made for an
other red, white and blue special train,
we could charter few planes. We did 1t
before, and we can do 1t again!
But, seriously, let these movie people
confine their war efforts to entertaining
our fighting men, where they are doing
worthy and effective job, and keep out
of bond selling campaigns, where they
are out OF place. The selling of war
bonds is serious business, and should
be conducted without the employment of
Hollywood stunts and circus bally-hoo.

An "1dea," Maybe
Not Worth a Thought"

TO the Editor Of The Sta:
This morning we had pancakes for
breakfast. AS I poured the leftover"
batter down the drain the thought struck
me, Il wonder he long this little bit
OF batter would keep the life going in
starving Greek?" and it occurred to me
that maybe the waste program would
have more success if we were given some
such statistics about familiar food items
IN small amounts, instead of so much talk
OF vitamins. Couldn't food values be
measured in terms OF so many life hours,
somewhat as work is measured In so
many manpower hours?
Surprising every time we threw away
or wasted slice Of bread, ETC., we were
Knocked by the knowledge that it would
keep the spark of life going in some
starving person for one precious hour
more. Would it be tossed away so heed
lessly as heretofore?
Maybe this idea isn't worth another
thought, but I hope it can be used to
help in some way.
Recently gave my first blood dona-
ton. When the nurse held up the jar
containing my contribution and said,
This will save one life," felt like new
mother must-proud
Surely saving life, either through
donating blood for plasma or by seeing
that every bit of food produced here in
America feeds some one, thereby pro-
longing life, is something for HUMANITY
that even the "old-maids" and childless
can do, and feel pride in the doing.

RoiIroud Wrecks

The Interstate Commerce Com
mission investigation of the wrecks
on the Pennsylvania and New York
Central within few hours of each
other has not reached the point
where responsibility can be fixed def
initely, even though the causes are
plain, but the tragedies have pro-
voked some comment in informed
quarters that is worth the serious
consideration.
Defense Transportation Director
Jcsepn B. Eastman says that there
IS nothing to indicate that either of
the wrecks, which involved crack
trains, -as due directly to the
srecses Of war, but he asserts that
railroad equipment is being subjected
to a terrific strain. Less than
week eSo Mr.. Eastman pointed
to the problem that the manpower
shortage is posing for the railroads
which are handling the greatest
traffic load in history This past
spring, Mr.. Eastman informed the
House Appropriations Committee
that equipment was being used con-
stantly, with scant requirements
available, and that the rail trans
portation system was apt to collapse
like the one-horse shay" unless the
pressure was eased. Conditions have
not improved In the interim.

Churchilfs View Of Wilson
Quoted With an Eye on Roosevelt.

To the Editor of the Star:
Politicians as a whole are notorious
for the inconsistency of their statements,
both written and oral, their prime con-
Germ being the seeming expediency of
the moment. Nor do they usually seem
TO suffer any embarrassment when their
words, upon occasion, catch up with
them. It's been not so very long ago
that former presidential candidate, be-
fore congressional committee. dis
counted what he himself had said by
labelling it simply campaign oratory"
One safe criterion in making fair
appraisal of the sincerity and ability Of
these men-or women-is that test to
which time puts everything-time which
gives us the power Of perspective so
necessary in any judicious estimation Of
people and/o their actions.
With this in mind, I think it is highly
advisable to weigh well these words of
an experienced politician of long stand
ing, which I quote from book of his
published in 1929: His gaze was fixed

of mankind and the fortunes of his
party candidates. Peace and goodwill
among all nations abroad, but no truck
with the Republican party at home. That
was his ticket and that was his ruin,
and the ruin of much else as we'll 1t
is difficult for man to do great things
If he tries to combine lambert charity
embracing the whole world with the
sharper forms of populist party strife"
The above mentioned book, entitled
1.-THE Aftermath (the World Crisis, 1913
1920, was written by none other than the
Right Hon. Winston Spencer Churchill,
C. H., M. P. The subject of the authors
discussion was Woodrow Wilson, Presi-
dent of the United States during the
First World War How honest were his
observations and how just his conclusions
are now matter of record. Whether or
not the history Of the world during the
past Is years or so might have been
changed, perhaps for the better, had Mr..
Churchill made known to Mr.. Wilson

Allies-And More Than Thot
From the Ottawa Journal.

from the OTTAWA Journal
And now Canada and the United
States have formed a joint committee
to iron out the problems of lease-lend
What model Allies they have been!
Through four years of this war, and long
before the United States became a bel
ligerent, the relations between the two
countries, their understanding, their mu-
tual sympathy, their affection and their
comradeship, have been something none
of us can ever forget. Days were when
at million banquet tables we toasted
the 5000 miles Of unattended border"
Today, economically at any rate, that
border no longer exists, or is the most
tenuous border the maps have ever
known. Still Canada belongs, and
proudly, to the British brotherhood, but
that fact, understood we'll by our neigh
bors, has not marred nor can mar the
two peoples placed by destiny as neigh
bors On this continent.

What 1t Means
From the New York Times.

From The New York Times.
Unconditional surrender" does not in
fact mean that there can be no condi-
tons to surrender, but merely that
the Axis nations will not be permitted to
specify those conditions. 1t means that
the conditions will be specified by the
United Nations. Wherever we can
hasten surrender by specifying condi-
lions that will remove needless or un-
justified fears and thereby strengthen
the hands of those within the Axis
countries who are calling upon their
leaders for peace, then it will be OBJ
viously to our advantage to state the
conditions of peace so that victory may
be achieved with as small loss of life
on our side as possible.

However, at this writing the British
Prime Minister and the present incum-

agreement, 1t would seem-both close

should not be difncult for his majesty's

candidate for fourth term as Chief
Executive Of this country some invalu-
able advice. Not only, in so doing, would
he be making himself of great service
to our Nation: he would, perhaps, be

not to be supposed that the Soviets
have any thought of reviving that
broken promise, they may have as
pirations in the Mediterranean area
which would be thwarted by I'M
qualified recognition of the Allies as
the liberators of the conquered states
in that theater.
At any rate, the fact remains that
Russia's claim to the lions share of
credit for defeat of the Italians was
made through the Soviet govern
ment newspaper, Izvestia, which
would hardly have advanced such a
claim without government approval.
And this comes on the heels of indi-
cations that the Soviets do not in
tend to share any of the credit for
their victories over the Germans.
AS against this we have the Quebec
speech of Prime Minister Churchill,
who said that "by far the greater
part of the German air force" has
been drawn away from the Russian
front by the Allied air attacks on
Europe, and also that Russia has
survived and been victorious thanks
to B" abundant British and Amer
lean supplies and munitions" Gen.
eral Marshall, in his recent biennial
report, said that the bombardment
of Europe had left the Germans
unable to conduct any sustained
ofTensives this summer in Russia"
and he added that the following
military equipment actually has been
delivered to Russia: More than 5000
airplanes, 2,400 tanks, 100000 sub
machine guns, 10000 jeeps, $4,000
trucks, 1000 motorcycles, 10000
field telephones, $4,000 tons of ex-
plosives and great many other
items of munitions, foodstuffs and
raw materials.
Thus, if Russia's claim to credit
for the defeat of Italy is preliminary
to a claim to credit for the final
winning of the war, all with view
to its usefulness in bargaining at
the peace table, it is safe assump-
ton that the Allied representatives,
at that time, will have more than a
few words to say in behalf of the
Anglo American war contribution.

CHEVY CHASE, Md.

Dear Sir:
rs new sort of English sparrow be-
ing created in our suburban sections?
The ones we have in our yard, and
which we have been feeding for several
years, are quite different from the Eng
fish sparrows downtown.
They are much larger, for one thing,
and their feathers fairly shine. The
coloration is deeper and more varied.
THE members of my family seldom
agree on anything, but we all agree that
these are better sparrows in everyway
and are wondering If the feeding has
done it.
Their actions are easier and they do
not fight among themselves, as the
downtown birds do. This may be due to
the fact that we keep food out the year
around.
1--WE are all agreed that these English
sparrows are as pretty as any birds
which come to the feeding stations.
1--WE wonder if really we are creating
a new form of these BIRDS What do you
think?
Sincerely, H. r. H."
4
Environment is all-powerful in the
animal world.
Well-fed and happy animals and birds
are entirely different in appearance and
actions from those specimens which are
harassed and which have to hunt I'M
ceasingly for something to eat.
Whether better conditions would
create a new form, we may doubt, but
certainly sometimes they seem to be
doing it.
The big fact about the suburban Eng
lish sparrow, as distinguished from the
city specimen. is that he is cleaner.
This means that his true colors are
allowed to shine forth.
All downtown birds are covered with a
thin film of dust.
This is easily seen in any Office, even
where there is excellent janitor service.
That layer of dust will collect.
1t forms on the birds, too, although
not as persistently.
In the suburbs the sparrows are free
from it.
1t is then easy for any one who is
interested in the birds to realize lust
what pretty creatures they are.
Il
dust of long criticism has hidden the
true beauty of the English sparrow from
many eyes.
They have been criticized so much
that many observers simply will not look
at them.
And even those persons who theoreti-
caliy ind no fault with them will not
really look at them, due to the Smear
campaign which has been directed
against them for so long.
