Liquor Traffic Held Harmful
To Effort to Bring War to End.
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor OF The Star:
There has been great deal said about
the use Of whisky by members of our
armed forces and by those in official
positions. It includes our entire popu-
lation, so why leave out the majority?
We all have job to do, but some jobs
are little more important than others.
We talk about those that drink, and not
the ones that sell It, Are they not just
as responsible for the act as the con-
sumner of the drink? However, never 4
finger is pointed their way; sometimes
wonder why.
The curtailing or abolishing of the
sale Of whisky for the duration would
silence . lot Of loose tongues. There is
nothing more dangerous during this
present emergency than idle talk, .
great deal OF which is brought about by
the use Of alcohol We can well afford
to eliminate this particular type OF sab
otage. Its use has no place in the war
effort: certainly 1t is not the proper tonic
needed to stimulate efficiency, nor the
building and keeping Of good healthy
minds and bodies needed to perform
those duties necessary to bring the war

1t may be q necessary evil during war
time, but now that we are getting only
a slight taste Of 1t, am certain that
few among us would like to see 1t carried
over into times of peace.
Free enterprise in those things pro-
duced by human labor is essential if
We are to have individual freedom.
Our tax laws must be altered, however,
to allow every human being q lust
return from the accumulating benefits
OF the earth. Not one by one, but with
one stroke We must break the shackles
which today enslave legitimate private
enterprise.
Also, when We think Of peace and
security, let us not think OF 1t in terms
OF this Nation alone. A wise move In
the direction OF peace is to change our
attitude toward foreigners" by which
we look upon them as If God made us
super-beings. Certain Germans thought
they were superior to the rest Of the
world and the results are becoming too
familiar. The strength OF our present
performance is = result of the COM
bined efforts of all the natives and
foreigners" OF a great melting pot.

ment ought to prevent such action
at any cost"
There will be general agreement
with the contention that the Labor
Board ought not to be lending itself
to the promotion of union jurisdic-
tional strife at this or any other time.
But what Mr.. Green overlooks is the
fact that the members of the board
are acting within the framework of
the National Labor Relations Act,
and are not merely trying to pro-
mote the CIO at the expense of
the AFL.
The real need in these circum-
stances is for intelligent amendment
of the statute, and not criticism of
the present members of the board.
During this new Congress there prob
ably will be a revival of efforts to
write amendments into the law, and
If Mr.. Green desires to contribute to
the elimination of all jurisdictional
controversies-not merely this one
he is In position to accomplish a
great deal by lending his support to
those members of Congress who favor
revision.

Mr.. Green's Letter

william Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
written an open letter to Congress
which is sharply critical OF the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board because
that agency has complied with a
request from the CIO to examine the
validity of an AFL closed shop con-
tract in the West Coast shipyards
operated by Henry j. Kaiser.
The logical result of the boards
action, Mr.. Green said, would be to
encourage union raiding. develop
warfare between competing unions,
"and inevitably interfere with the
shipbuilding program" to the detri-
ment Of the war effort. Because Of
these considerations, he added, "some

Boby Roger

Ingenious twisted arguments may
be expected from lawyers stuck with
cases so hopeless that normal pleas
and reasoning obviously would get
noWhere-but for tops in this line
the corkscrew palm should go, un-
contested, to the attorney for Roger
Touhy, recaptured bandit and kid
naper who has been sentenced to
ninety-nine years. This, says his
attorney, would carry Roger beyond
the age at which second childhood
would set in, and thereby make the
State of Illinois guilty of the truly
heinous crime of imprisoning an in
FAINT. His only solution, curiously
enough, is to turn Roger loose imme-
diately.
Yet the court was strangely per-
verse, and remarkably undisturbed
over the possibility that the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children may, along about 1875, cast
slurs on the fair name of Chicago.
The city, it feels, is fairly tough itself,
and well able to absorb such criti-
cism without turning q hair. Per-
haps by then some other court may
be touched at the spectacle OF dear
little Baby Roger, age seventy-six,
still trying to crack his crib. Right

feasible. H. G. Wells once said that
the fate of humanity was involved in
a race between education and dis
aster." The Second World War in
very large part may be a similar
contest between organized common
sense" and defeat at the hands of
the Axis. 1t follows that the lay
public is anxious to see progress at
Turrialba hastened. Whatever sup
port Is required from the Govern
ment OF the United States certainly
should be made available promptly.

The sight of 20 redbirds in the snow
is an amazing one, and well worth all
it costs, both in time and food.
As to foods, there are no better car
dinal foods than sunfiower seeds.
Rice is advocated by some, and may be
be as sure lure as sunfiower seed.
In summer. little ground meat is good
to put out for all the nesting birds
The cardinals love to feed it to the
young ones. 1t also appeals to other
species, and is great help to the par
ents. Probably some small amount may
be reserved from the average family's
meat ration.
Cardinals prefer about o'clock in the
evening for this meal Ground meat
should be placed where wandering dogs
cannot get it.
Our correspondents three young fe-
male cardinals were probably not all
females, but included some males.
Both males and females look very much
alike during the first summer and fall.
The young males are never as bright
as the older males. and do not begin to
get their real coloring until very late
in the fall
Even by the next spring some Of them
look very much like females, although
they are beginning to have the typical

We have heard Of people putting out
suet for cardinals, but we never have
seen cardinal eat it.
Suet eaters in our garden are the wood
peckers, the starlings and an occasional
chickadee.
1t Is difficult to realize it, at this time,
but within few weeks the cardinals
will begin to sing their famous cheer,

There Is not much cheer in mans
world, but fortunately for the birds they
know nothing of our fighting ways.
Let us hope that the cardinals will
bring real cheer into the lives OF all with
tIlclI songs.
Come spring, and all the other birds
will sing their familiar songs, songs of
happiness In living.
Maybe In time man will learn from
the birds how to get along" with other
living things-including himself and his
kind.
Just what the fate of Americas bird,
is to be in the days to come is an in
teresting speculation.
These great helpers Of agriculture de.

so far little has been done officially tt

has come story of the very greatest
significance to those persons inter-

Earl N. Bressman, scientific adviser
to Vice President Wallace when he
was Secretary of Agriculture. The
project has the Endorsement of a
special committee of the Pan-Amer-

is DR.. Hector David Castro, Minister
of Ell Salvador.

Sets Forth Liberal Views
For Prelude to Peace.

For Prelude to Peace.
To the Editor Of The Star:
1t should be reasonably clear by this
time that the collapse Of nations can be
brought about by means other than .
display of military force. The present
bloody conflict has made us painfully
aware of the fact that nations can be
poisoned from within, a much more
treacherous, subtle and dangerous
method of conquest.
Responsibility for . conflict of such
worldwide magnitude cannot directly be
laid to the personal ambitions Of men.
We cannot challenge nor deny human
nature. But certain man-made laws
which enable men to lay . groundwork
Of strife and hatred, can and must be
challenged
Laws such as tariffs and those which
allow men to usurp Gods earth and put
It to their own gain-these are the
things which bring civilization to ruin.
The world is now at q stage where
former cherished beliefs are being re-
~ ,deled. There is the prospect that
the good might be overwhelmed with the
bad. The people must be informed II
they are to be on the alert against any
such possibility.

Letters to the Editor
Denies That Baltic States
Are Danger to Peace.

Are Danger to Peace.
To the Editor OF The Star.
Constantine Brown writes, in his very
interesting article Allied Unity" in The
Sunday Star for January 10, concerning
the Baltic States the following: These
states, which had an independent exist
tence for some 20 years, have now been
occupied by the Germans, but before the
Nazi invasion they had been occupied
by Russian armies after plebiscite had
voted for reunion with the Soviet"
This Is not correct. The Baltic States
had been occupied by Soviet-Russian
armies before the so-called "plebiscites"
and In result of an unprovoked Soviet
Russian military aggression after q
"blitz-ultimatum" The Baltic States
were occupied on June 15-17, 1910, but
the so-called "plebiscites" were held on
July 14-15, 1910. These "plebiscites" were
held under pressure of overwhelming
Soviet-Russian military forces concen-
trated on the territories Of the Baltic
States. Such "plebiscites," naturally,
cannot be valid.
Furthermore. Mr.. Brown, In q subtitle
to his article, claims: Baltic States Seen
Peril to Hope of Lengthy Peace The
small Baltic States have never been a
peril to peace. How could they? To
the contrary. the independence Of the
Baltic States, as natural guardians Of
the freedom of the Baltic Sea, was a
guarantee for peace and equilibrium In
Northern Europe.
We can but highly agree to and ap-
preciate with thankfulness the principle
pointed out by Mr.. Brown, that the
people of the United States are willing
to make extreme sacrifice only on con-
dition that there is no recurrence Of
power politics, strategic consideration
and imperial needs"-and may we add,
1t is power politics, strategic considers
tions and imperial needs that imperil
hopes of lengthy peace?

The District BUDGET

In the next fiscal year the District
will be paying out for operation and
maintenance about $7,70O,0O0 more
than in the fiscal year 1912.
That is steep and rapid rise. It
represents additional personnel, plus

pay for per diem and custodial work.
ers and anticipated salary increases
for police, firemen and teachers. 1t
also represents higher cost of mate
rials and the extraordinary growth
In the city population.
This adds up to a higher cost
Of local government, for which the
local taxpayer is not responsible but
for which he must foot the bill un-
aided. For in spite of this increase,
rejecting Federal needs and policies,
the National Government lump-sum
payment to the District remains sta
tionary at $4,000, ,00O-a sum short by
nearly two million dollars of meeting
the increase in the cost Of running
the local government as it is.
This sharp increase in District
maintenance costs is said to have
accounted for the Budget Bureaus
reductions in the Commissioners
estimates for the next fiscal year.
These estimates were cut by $780,
600, compromise after the bureaus

be Topped of. The reductions show

the Health Department, public well
fare, police, street cleaning, public
library and other agencies which
have felt the increased demands Of
population growth. Wisdom OF the
reductions in the Commissioners
original recommendation will be
examined by the appropriations
committees, of course. There is
no doubt about the need for eau
ton in expansion Of municipal serv-
fees, with the knowledge that peace
will bring a sudden defiation of
population and some lessening of
need. But If a policy Of ofIsetting
salary increases by reducing person.
mel needs is to prevail, the effect on
municipal services will be unfortu-
nate-unless the needs themselves
have been overdrawn.
While the Commissioners estimates
are being reduced for economy's sake,
the District will be increasing its cur
rent payments by more than 130 per
cent to retire Indebtedness to the Ma
tional Government. This effort to
wipe the slate clean, long before the
debt Is due, is made possible by the
ban on construction work. With
capital outlays practically eliminated
from the budget, a surplus of unex-
pended revenues is properly applied
to debt reduction. After the war there
will be large accumulation Of con-
struction needs, for which the District
undoubtedly will have to borrow
, again from the National Government
Payment Of the debt now is a good
way to lay aside the money for the
rainy day that is on the way, and as
long as this can be done, without
quitting too sharply into necessary
maintenance, it undoubtedly is sound
policy.

Justice RutIedoe

In naming Associate Justice Wiley
Rutledge of the United States Court
OF Appeals for the District to the
Supreme Court. President Roosevelt
Tor the first time has chosen an ap-
pointee with previous experience on
the bench for the high tribunal, and
likewise for the first time has gone
beyond the Mississippi River for a
court selection. The President also
has adhered to the practice of limit
ing these appointments to members
OF his own political faith, Justice
Rutledge being the eighth Democrat
chosen. The only deviation came in
the elevation of Chief Justice Stone,
a Republican.
Justice Rutledge, Kentuckian by
birth and Iowan by adoption, has
served on the Court of Appeals since
1889. His nomination presumably
meets the demand for Western rep
resentation on the Supreme Court as
the jurist was graduated in law from
the University of Colorado and
passed seventeen years in private
practice and in teaching in Colo
rado Missouri and Iowa before COM
ing to Washington. He was dean of
law at the University of Iowa when
appointed to the Court of Appeals,
and before that occupied a like post
at Washington University, st. Louis.
On the Supreme Court, where he
succeeds James F. Byrnes, Justice
Rutledge's opinions may be expected
to reflect the progressive-or liberal
viewpoint, If his decisions on the
appellate bench and other public
utterances are to be taken as
criterion.
A decade ago, when the New Deal
was in swaddling clothes, Justice
Rutledge, then dean at Washington
University. was arguing for broader
treatment of the general welfare
clause of the Constitution to the end
that the Federal Government might
have greater power to deal with the
economic life of the people. Control
OF production, curbs on unfair COM
petition, abolition of child labor
New Deal watchwords-were funda-
mentals Of the economy for which
he contended.
On the bench, his most notable
decisions, perhaps, have dealt with
civil rights. On one occasion he
joined with two associates in holding
that a woman's refusal to bear arms
was barrier to citizenship, but the
justices emphasized that they were
not expressing their own viewpoint,
but felt bound by an earlier Supreme
Court ruling. He dissented in case
in which the court upheld the Dis
trict licensing law as applied to the
sale of religious pamphlets by men,
bers Of Jehovah's Witnesses, and re-
Gently, in another District case,
Justice Rutledge implied doubt as to
the validity Of property covenants
based on the principle of race ex-
clusion, He was participant in the
unanimous decision in which the
court upheld the antitrust law con-
viction of the American Medical AS
sociation and the District Medical
Society on charges of conspiring to
Illustrate the aims of group health.
Justice Rutledge is the first men,
Der Of the Court of Appeals here to
be elevated to the Supreme Court.
