In the past few weeks Mr.. Hallett,s

Department to install 40 heaters
i'll the sentry boxes that surround
the White House, State Department
and other government buildings
here.
He had gone to work on the
order when much to his amaze
ment 1t was cancelled. Trying to
trace the reason, he discovered
that the original requisition had
been drawn by an old regular
Army sergeant, now first lieu
tenant, who had written:
Forty heaters for Lighthouses. .
The coloael to whom it went was
too soon out of civilian life to be
aware Of Army slang. He killed the
requisition, with the indignant post
script: Il can see no reason for
spending taxpayers money on cod
ding dogs"

Lend-Lease has had its ups and
downs. But from now on, Washing
ton observers are predicting freely,
It won't have such easy going. The
principal reason: U. S. industry is
getting plenty worried about post
war competition. Why, industrial
lists ask, should American taxpayers
pour out billions to strengthen
foreign industries which will be
competitive in postwar world
trade?
1t probably will take five-foot
shelf of books and several post
war years of world trade realities
to answer that question. Neverthe-
less, the sideline crew here is pos
tive that lend-lease is in for a
real drubbing before the next APP
preparation bills (due to be passed
this coming spring and early sum-
mer) get to a vote.

EXPRESSING War

The Second World War unqueS-
tionably is a Great War in every
connotation of that phrase, but,
perhaps because Of its immensity, it
has not been expressed in language
as striking or as memorable as that
which dramatized the struggle OF
1914-1918.
OF course, the Four Freedoms
already are literature, and the slogan
Praise the Lord and pass the am
munition" has become a legend.
Where, however, is there to be found
In current usage any declaration to
match for poignant beauty Sir
Edward Grey's words of August g.,
1914: '"The lamps are going out all
over Europe; we shall not see them
lit again in our lifetime?
Possibly the noblest battle cry Of
the First World War was the affirma-
ton: They shall not pass" Its
author was Marshal Henri Petain,
and his reference was to the German
attempt to "break through" at YER
dun in February, 1916. To sustain
the determination thus proclaimed,
Colonel c. E. Stanton of the American
Expeditionary Force at Paris on July
4, 1917, announced, Lafayette, we
are here!"
Many OF President Woodrow
Wilson'S utterances are remembered
for their aptness as well as for their
basic meaning. When he went to
Congress on April 2, 1917, to explain
why America was needed in the con-
flict with the Central Powers, he put
the argument into single incon-
trovertible statement of fact: The
world must be made safe for de-
mocracy." Meanwhile, David Lloyd
George allegedly fathered the
thought This war is a war
to end war"
In a certain obvious sense such
attestations are as valid in the pre-
vailing strife as they were a quarter
century ago. The Second World War
is in that regard a continuation OF
the First. Yet the theology of the
present global effort for freedom has
an identity and an integrity of its
own. People probably are more
realistic than they formerly were.
Hence their appreciation of Winston
Churchill'S confession: II have moth
Ing to offer but blood, toll, tears and
sweat" How deeply earnest they are
may be judged from their agreement
with the sentiment Of General
Douglas Macarthur: II have come

Subsidy Scheme
Called Trick.

TO the Editor OF The star:
1t is reported that the administration
is about to launch its new food subsidy
program before Congress can get back
from its vacation. If true, this will be
one of the slickest political tricks in his
tory. 1t is obvious from it's past record
that Congress never would appropriate
money for this new subsidy scheme, If it
should be presented fairly. But the ad-
ministration is hoping to set 1t partially
in effect before Congress can do any,
thing about 1t and then, after the pro-
gram is under way, 1t Is hoped that
Congress will be forced to appropriate
money to carry it fully into effect under
the threat of causing national disaster
should the program be discontinued.
The subsidy scheme involves the direct
purchase from the farmers OF various
crops and the sale of these crops to the
consumers at lower prices, with the Gov.
ernment-that is, the taxpayers-taking
the loss. Since it is obvious that the
farmers would not vote against their only
customer, this subsidy would merely con-
stitute gigantic vote-buying scheme at
cost OF billions to the taxpayers. No
wonder the New Dealers are determined
to place 1t In effect, even by trickery. II

Warning Against Misuse
OF American Legion.

Vice Admiral John w. Greenslade,
commander of the western sea frontier,
addressed members of the American Le-
gion in California the other day, empha-
sizing the opportunity which will be in
the hands of the American Legion to
"renounce self-interest as primary goal
after the peace is established"
Most Legion members can agree to
that. What most of us fear is that sin
lister interests in no way related to ex-
soldiers will succeed in unduly influence
ing the administration Of the organiza-
ton. These interests have habit of try
ing to work through patriotic groups to
accomplish their ends. They are the in
terests which subsidized Hitler and Mus
solini in their respective countries. These
forces for evil most certainly will threat
en- the American Legion after the war
is won. Unless the great mass of mem
bers understand the danger and keep
out of Legion affairs the influence of
men whom Henry Wallace describes as
American Fascists, we shall have missed
one Of our greatest postwar opportunities.

Hello, Sucker

In this global war we have such a
variety Of Allies, enemies and inter-
ested neutrals that the language
problem is important. Interpreters
are needed, ranging in knowledge all
the way from the comparatively
simple job of interpreting British to
the tough one Of rendering obscure
Indian or Chinese dialects into INTEL
ligible words. Even more skilled ones
are now in demand. Secretary Ickes
has just come across with the dis
covery of new language important
in the war, and at the same time
gloomily doubts if any one really un-
derstands 1t. 1t is used by a neutral
tribe-flsh.
Yes, fish talk. The loudest conver-
sationalists, it seems, are drumfsh,
but croakers are quite garrulous, too.
In fact, practically all fish have
something to say to each other, even
the humble and numerous alewives.
The one apparent exception is the
female weakf1sh, who must suffer
intensely, it is thought, at not being
able to talk back to her mate. OBJ
viously, submarine sailors, who are
always listening for the sound OF
hostile propellers, should understand
at least few words of fish language,
to avoid great confusion and multi
plicity of false alarms. Think how
much more efficiently a submarine
could operate with a fish translator
aboard. Instead Of sounding the alert
at each and every sound from the
deep, most Of the time he could yawn
and casually report to his Officer
THAT wasn't no Jap destroyer, lieu
tenant; 1t was Just my alewife."
