English Interpreter Wanted

TO insure more effective co-opera-
tion and to make the United Nations
truly united, many Americans over
seas attend language schools. BY an
oversight, at first they were not
established in Britain, but now they
are, and none too soon. Too many
American vehicles in the British
Isles used to go to sleep for lack of
gasoline, although petrol was avail
able. Whole battalions of Americans
were without garbage cans, merely
because they did not know enough to
ask for dustbins. Trucks could not
be borrowed, even when British hosts
would have been more than willing
to lend a spare lorry to help out
chappie.
As it turns out, the schools are by
no means one-way institutions.
British students also attend, and
learn such fundamental facts of
American Army life as that a tin of
salmon is a can of goldfish and that
beans are bullets. It is reported that
the net result Of the exchange of
ideas may be the emergence Of a
composite compromise comprehens-
ible language, or rather slanguage,
for military purposes. Let us hope,
however, that it be confined to the
military and will not pervade the
social realm. Neither Shakespeare
nor Joe Gish Of Brooklyn would be
pleased at the perversion of his ma
tive lingo; and who shall Judge which
of the pair is right? Let John Smith,
M. P. (Member of Parliament) 90 on
out to his cricket game and murmur
softly "Ah, we'll played, sir!" and let
the American John Smith, M. P.
military police attend his ball
game and raucously below "Attaboy!
Sock that. apple in the nose!"

But when these things are reported
only a portion Of the truth about
Professor Hart is told. He was great
polemicist. No other scholar of his
generation was so quick or ready for
controversy. His views naturally were
dynamic. BY deliberate intention he
provoked long series of debates on
different subjects, his purpose being
to add to human knowledge and
understanding.

Unhappy ItoIy
BY Maj. George Fielding Eliot.
From the London Daily Telegraph and Mo
inc Dost

From the London Daily Telegraph and Morn
ing Post.
BY the admission of the censored press,
morale is low and discomfort is rife in
Italy; but we should not indulge hopes
Of explosive development" though there
has been high authority for them. Mus
solinis stupid treachery to his own coun-
trymen has put them so completely in
the power of Naziism that there is at
present little chance of another risorgi-
mento Of the true Italy. The Duce has
well earned the curse Of Garibaldi on any
italian who should attack England. The
secular enemy, Germany, dominates and
plumbers Italy more brutally than ever
before. It is only through military action
that deliverance will come, whether the
much feared 9th Army or another on
smother front be the redeeming force.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles z. Tracetrel.

Last week a catbird gave me several
concerts which were particularly enjoy
able. was in the house and heard his
song, and as 1t was so loud and clear, I
couldn't imagine where he was.
II finally went outside and found he
was on the chimney. While I watched
he went into sort Of dance. He spread
his wings and tail and danced around
for awhile. (The fire was out.) He did
this at times for several days, much to
my amusement.
Il saw another one taking a swing.
He was feeding on the ground when
something startled him and he flew up
to the seat of the swing, which was
right above him. 1t Is the old fashioned
rope swing with board for a seat.
Il didn't pay any attention right
then, but a few minutes later I looked
out the window and thought to myself,
What Is that long gray bird on the
swing?'
Il kept my eyes on it and in another
second it was short dumpy bird. The
wind was blowing just hard enough to
push the swing little and he was stand
ing on the edge of the seat as q person
would sit.
When the swing went backward he
would stretch out his neck, full length,
to keep from going of the front, and
when it came forward he would lean
back to keep from tumbling back.
He seemed to be puzzled and kept
looking down and around. He then
turned sideways and kept trying to keep
IN balance by leaning first one way and
then the other.
He stayed there quite a while as the
movement of the swing was not enough
to frighten him, but he seemed to be
trying very hard to figure 1t out.
Another sight which amuses me is a
young robin, particular when bathing.
They are so sober and serious. They
never seem to be able to get enough
water.
They splash and splash and then
stand stock still, for minutes, it seems,
looking very serious and as though they
are In deep meditation, but Just can't
figure things out.
Il have often had to 60 out and fill
the bath again after several robins have
been in, so others will not be dis
appointed.
"Oftentimes there will be several birds
waiting their turns on the fence and
bushes nearby.
Since you told in your column about
the need Of a sand box during snowy
spells the erection Of such box is on our
must list for this year.
Il am getting so that can recognize
more and more of the songs. Each time
hear new one or one don't recognize,
near the house, drop everything and 90
out and try to locate the artist.
Il have often been the only human
within hearing distance of a concert, ;
and can't help but feel at such times
that 1t Is direct gift from God.
I'VE want to plant a good patch of
sunf1owers this year. We spend a con-
siderable amount each year for SUM-
flower seed as we find that the ma jority
OF birds like these better than anything
else.
Sincerely yours, N. E. D."

Congressman Denies
Selfish Motives.

To the Editor Of The Star:
It seems to me that your editorial in
The Star for June Is entitled THE
Gimme Epidemic" is grossly unfair to
the Senators and Representatives from
the Eastern States when you write: 1T
divides houses against themselves, as
witness stricken Congressman from the
East formed in bloc to get more gaso-
line and oil for their constituents, while
their brothers from the West and North
west promptly isolate themselves as an.
other bloc to keep Fasteners at bay"
Those of us from the Eastern Seaboard
have not been afflicted by the "Gimmes."
We have absolutely no desire to inter-
fere with the war effort and the needs
of the military establishments. We are
making whatever sacrifice is necessary
as our contribution to a winning-war
effort.
We have no desire to force the rest OF
the country to share our suffering, If by
SO doing no relief can be provided to the
East Coast. However, in view of the
obvious confusion and inefhciency in
certain phases of the management of
the petroleum problem, and inadequate
planning, we insist that we have right
to demand consideration of proposals
which will provide a more adequate and
efficient managing Of the problem, which
will not only help relieve our situation,
but in all probability will be the means
of preventing serious petroleum FAM
inc on the East Coast in the months to
come.
Once again may repeat, this is not
case of the Chimes? 1t is not
case of pleasure driving, it involves the
transportation OF our millions of war
workers, the maintenance of all our hos
pitals and other institutions on the East
Coast, our farms and shove all, the
petroleum requirements of all the great
industries of the Eastern Seaboard in
volved in the war effort
Surely you cannot charge us with
being selfish in demanding that the
overall program be adequate to insure
the continuation of the great and vital
part that the Eastern Seaboard States
are contributing to the war effort.
am sure the editor of The Star would
not expect competent editorials to be
written by those totally without expe-
rience in the field of journalism. BY the
same token. how can you expect eff
cheney in the OPAs part Of the great

Labor Asks q Veto

Three national labor leaders
william Green, president of the
American Federation of Labor; Philip
Murray, head of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations, and David
B. Robertson of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen
have called upon the President to
veto the Connally-Smith bill, which
is designed to discourage and prevent
wartime strikes.
The labor statement is curious
document. In one paragraph it at
tacks the bill as product Of revenge
and malice" as the worst anti-labor
bill passed by Congress in the last
hundred years." and as being the
every essence of Fascism." A. few
paragraphs farther on, however, the
bill is denounced on the ground that,
as to privately owned plants, it does
not fatty forbid strikes.
This is strange inconsistency in
reasoning. The complaint that the
measure encourages strikes instead
Of discouraging them is predicated on
the contention that the "no-strike
pledge holds good throughout the
war, and in all plants and under all
circumstances" This is a ringing
declaration which does not conform
to the facts, since it was the failure
to maintain the no-strike pledge, and
nothing else, which brought about
the passage of the bill. But the most
conspicuous weakness in the position
taken by these spokesmen is their
. criticism of the bills requirements
for a cooling off period and a ma
jority vote in advance of a strike.
The statement attacks this provi-
sion because majority vote against
a strike does not prohibit striking.
The thirty-day notice and the bal
lot" it is claimed, "are merely con-
ditions precedent to striking; it (the
bilD does not provide that, in event
the ballot is negative as to striking,
a strike may not be called"
From this language one might
conclude that the bill would be more
pleasing to these labor leaders if it
fatty prohibited strikes in private
plants unless called by majority
vote of employees. Yet the strong
probability is that such provision,
in their eyes, would be more oppres-
sive, malicious and Fascistlike than
anything now in the measure.
If the President discusses this pc
tition with its authors he might ask
them whether they really want fiat
legislative ban on minority strikes in
private plants, and if not, why they
attack the Connally- Smith bill be-
cause Congress was unwilling to write
such ban into it. Their explanation
of this seeming paradox would be
interesting.

Professor Hart

Albert Bushnell Hart, dying at
eighty eight, has left name which
certainly is assured of grateful re-
membrance. His life was long and
active. Nothing of consequence to
humanity was too unimportant to
engage his interest. 1t follows that
he influenced many developments.
Thus he was not merely the dean of
American historians, but also an
authentic maker of history in the
sense that he channeled public
opinion in directions which seemed to
his considered judgment good.
Born in Pennsylvania in 1854, edu-
Gated at Harvard, Paris, Berlin and
Freiburg, he returned to Cambridge
in 1888 and spent the next half CEN
tury in multitude of literary, socio-
logical and educational labors there.
His researches unearthed new ma
terial relating to the origins of the
United States. He likewise blazed a
number of useful trails into the
wilderness of early American diplo-
macy. His Foundations of American
Foreign Policy" published in 1901,
still is helpful volume. Other, more
widely circulated books came from
his hands in a stream. He spoke of
himself as "sole or joint author" of a
hundred titles, but the actual cata-
logue is much larger.
Professor Hart might have had a
successful career if he had been will
ing to concentrate his talents exclu-
sively on the editing of the works of
other men. He was skilled in the
management Of data. His American
Nation" brought together in a single
place vast wealth of facts about the
American people and their institu-
tions. The same observation applies
to his source readers, his american
Patriots and Statesmen" and "Ameri-
can History Told by Contemporaries. I"
He supervised sixteen editions Of the
American Year Book, was chairman
of the board of Current History
magazine and associate editor of the
American Historical Review. His
services as historian of the George
Washington Bicentenary Commission
were distinctly constructive. He was
president Of the American Historical

Freedom From Worry
About Future Called For.
To the Editor of The 81

10 the Edltor OF Inc star:
Much idealistic talk Is heard concern
Ing the freedoms which later will be es-
tablished. But what about some assur-
ances from the Utopian-m minded that
freedom from excessive taxation, with its
accompanying fears, is being considered?
Despite our enormous resources, lib
erty from lack has never been gained
in this Nation. Certainly taxing and
spending eternally is hardly conducive
to mental serenity and just as long as
politicians insist that deficits are desir-
able and debt an un6isguised blessing
the taxpayer will be haunted with the
fear of want and even greater fear of a
foggy future.

resentative Hartley and those who
have joined him in an effort to in

that If one group gains an advantage,
1t will be at the expense Of another.

I read in last Sundays papers that

make available more homes and rooms
for war workers. May I say that I be-
lieve that more room would be avail
able for war workers if the Government
would do more to protect the property
owners? Today a property owner does
not dare rent his house or room even
temporarily for he knows that he prob
ably will have to go before jury, spend
several hundred dollars and wait four
to six months to regain the use Of his
own home for himself and his family. A
