Times are hard for employers, except
perhaps for those who get war contracts.
AS time goes on difficulties increase un-
ceasingly; scarcity Of labor; difficulty Of
repairing or replacing machines; more
work than ever: raw materials less
varied and slow to secure: constant in
crease In the costs of administration
whereas selling prices are fixed by law;
unusual complications in accounting:
problems inherent in each kind of busi-
ness-and what more? AS matter OF
fact, has not the employer become a
state functionary? He must carry out
multitude of subtractions from wages
for income tax purposes, war loans, con-
tributions to health insurance, to unions,
to collective agreements; he has to COL
lect Federal and provincial sales taxes
on his sales. All this requires a multi
tude of reports on precise formulas,
often more or less clear, which he has
to fill up and forward at stated inter
walls with his cheque. The smallest of
business houses needs an accountant
who can untangle himself out of all
this stuff and not lose much of his time.

Midsummer Madness

Were he alive today, Thomas Paine
would be the first to concede that he
was moved by brash impetuosity
when he wrote in 1776 that "these
are the times that try mems souls"
In the jargon of today Mr.. Paine
hadn't seen nothing yet" The
citizen of 1943, no less than Mr..
Paine, is oppressed by heat and war.
But there are also new and strange
burdens to be borne.
There is, for instance, the shock to
ones nervous system that comes with
the disclosure that Henry A. Wallace
will have no truck with a policy of
economic scarcity. And on top of
this, without warning, we are dealt a
staggering blow in the form of an
announcement from that loyal New
Dealer Judge Marvin Jones that
there have been too many directives
from Washington, and that this is
bad for the country.
Yet 1t is necessary to put these
tnlngS In their proper perspective.
They were but the premonitory
rumblings which served notice that
the worst was still to come; that the
supreme crisis of our midsummer
madness had not yet been reached.
But now it is over, and we know
the worst that there is to know
Harold Ickes, after posing all these
years as the friend and champion of

name has been enough to throw big
business into convulsive shudder

Theories Offered to Explain
Stains Absence From Conferences.

To the Editor of The Star.
There has been much talk about the
position of Russia, about the reasons
Stain has not attended the major war
conferences. May I advance two reasons.
either one of which could reasonably be
an answer?
Russia today is carrying the heavy
load of the war, besides which the efforts
of her Allies seem small. The absence
of the directing head of Russian gov
ernment even for few days might be
disastrous to Russia's war efforts. Stain
cannot afford to take the risk
The other reason is that Stain, the
head of the government which has suf-
fered so much, may fear that punish
ment of Germany and her criminal
leaders may not be accomplished by the
nations who failed to punish similar
criminals in the First World War, and
that in a conference he might be out
voted by them.
Let us stop criticizing Russia. She Is
not waging war Of conquest. She did
not start the fight, and she is killing
Germans who otherwise would be killing
our boys. T. WARREN ALLEN.

THIS AND THAT
By Charles Z. TrdcetpeH.

Both sexes indulge in great amount
of preening. This is both to smooth
their feathers and to catch lice. 1t is
hard to think of these fairylike birds
being covered with lice, but such is the
hardship to which nature consigns them.
Whatever nature may have done to
help living creatures, she often does
things, and encourages conditions, which
make it diff1cult for them to live
~ ~
There is only one hummingbird species
recorded for Washington and vicinity.
1t is the ruby-throated, the male hav-
Ing red patch beneath the chin, the
female being all green. %.
In other parts of the country, notably
the Southwest, there are some other
species, including the black -chinned
hummingbird, Anna's hummingbird, the
broad-tailed hummingbird and the rou-
1ous hummingbird. The male of the lat
ter species Is cinnamon -roufous all over,
with the exception of the crown, which
is bronze green.
The broad-tailed hummer is inches
long, as compared with the 3A inches of
our ruby throat.
1t perches for very long periods.
ordinarily the rubythroat rests for
only a few minutes at a time, during
which period she Cor he) keeps looking
around, not only for the pleasure of it,
but also to keep an eye on the food sup
ply.
Contrary to popular impression, this
bird lives mostly on tiny insects, which
1t gathers from the bells of flowers. to
which the bugs" have been attracted by
the nectar.
Hummingbirds also drink the nectar
and this fact is utilized in attracting
them to glass tubes filled with sugar
water. Unfortunately ants will come,
too.
The broad-tailed hummer, which
makes its home in the mountains of the
West, is said to be able to throw one leg
over its wing and scratch itself while in
fight.
All the hummingbirds are specialists in
making their toilet.
An observer of the broad-tail says that
the creature spends hours polishing its
bill, which it does with its claws.
Our ruby throat similarly spends much
time on feathers and bill.
Our most exciting hummingbird ad-
venture was when pair Of ruby-throats
flew out ofsa bed of gladioluses and were
within a foot of our face before they
saw us.
Instantly they stood still in the air
their tiny wings beating for all they
were worth.
We looked at the hummers, and the
hummers looked at us, and it would be
difficult to say which was the most sur
prised at the meeting eye to eye.

ARLINGTON, Va

TheL4ANS1 SN, va.
Dear Sir:
rs the female hummingbird lazier
than the male?
Recently I have been watching these
birds, Of which We have a large number.
and have seen the female sitting still.
but never the male.
Until this year my only idea of a
hummingbird was on the wing. with
those shimmering wings going full blast,
as in all the pictures.
This summer I have caught many of
them doing what seems to be simple
perching, and in each and every case it
has been the female.
Can this mean that the female of this
species is lazier than the male, or is it
just that I have happened to see the
mother taking little rest?
Il do not know where the nest is, if
any; can you tell me how high the nest
is put, and how large it is? I imagine
the eggs are very small.
Sincerely, H. OF"

The mother hummingbird works harder
at feeding her young than most birds, so
no doubt she is entitled to bit of time
out"
Instead of cramming raw insects down
their throats, as ordinary birds do, the
mother hummingbird eats minute in
sects, waits until they are partly digested
and then regurgitates them
This semi-digested food is given the
;~Iz
male.
In this way the hummingbirds may be
said to be the inventors of predigested
foods.
Just how or why they evolved this
method is not known, except that the
young are so small that perhaps they
could not take even the smallest of in
sects in the raw
The nest is placed from 10 to 30 feet
high.
1t is about the size of an English wal
nut, forming cup made of dandelion
down-one good use for it--intertwined
with matted plants and ferns.
1t is no wonder that so few of them
are ever seen, because they are camou-
haged with moss so that they seem to
be mere protuberances on the limb.
Only two eggs are laid in the nest,
which is lined with down.
These are pure white.

1t is not an unusual thing for hum
mingbirds to rest.
They are so small that most often
they are overlooked when perching.
Perching is, as matter OF fact, IA
vorite diversion of these little birds.
They perch more, perhaps, than most
birds, because they seem to like to look
around, and to preen their feathers.

ster, "and business and the honors of
his profession soon crowded in upon
him." He was elected to Parliament,
made Kings counsel, appointed
solicitor general to the Queen and
principal of New Inn Hall. During
the last decade of his life he was
judge of common pleas, but attained
no special distinction"
AS to how great he was as a jurist,
there is controversy. Had his in
f1uence been so effective as some
writer's have claimed, the American
Revolution would have been unneces-
Sary. He enjoyed considerable popu-
larity in high circles, but George III
did not listen to him. Neither was
he consulted by the royal ministers
North, Grenville and others-who
supported his majesty as director
of the national policy" Sir Will
liam's share in the deliberations of
the House of Commons was "inglor-
ious." He was cold, reserved and
wary, exhibiting a frigid pride"
None of his most deservedly cele-
brated contemporaries was his
friend. A recent biographer says:
"The fame of Blackstone is greater in
the United States than it is in his
native land and bids fair to continue
to be-"
One clue to the solution of the
problem perhaps may be discovered
in the Commentators occasional
liberalism" "The law of nature" !"
he declared, "is superior in obligation
to every other. 1t is binding all over
the globe, in all countries and at all
times; no human laws are of any
validity If contrary to this, and such
of them as are valid derive their
force and all their authority,

Rebuilding Of Defeated Nations
Urged in Behalf of World Peace.

Urgeo In benalI OF world Peace.
To the Editor of The Star.
Taking the various polls that are being
conducted today at face value, we find
that the majority of people desire some
instrument of world peace. This is a
manifestation of our growing under
standing that peace cannot long endure
in our country If the remainder of the
world is in flames
In the desire for an organizat ton for
world peace we have made a great step
toward that end. However, until we in
clude in that poll: 'Are you willing to
support financially the rebuilding of not
only the conquered countries but the
enemy countries?" we have missed the
keystone of the structure for world peace,
and that is that peace will not continue
as long as one country goes hungry
while another has plenty. Witness the
stupid jokes about giving every Hot
tentot a quart of milk
Omitting the ideal of human brother
hood or the desire of every person to
see that his fellowman does not suffer
view of practical business, we would find
that it is cheaper to help our fellowman
to become sef-supporting than to live
In an armed world where each nation
covets other nations resources and ex-
periences war every 20 years or so.
1t is here that we are missing one of
our best political weapons for ending
the war quickly. Our President did not
go far enough in saying that we would
have no truck with the Fascists. He
should have pledged our Nations re-
sources to the rebuilding of not only
the conquered nations but also to the
enemy nations when they have over
thrown their Fascist governments. Such
pledge would place us in the forefront
of the struggle for world peace, and our
Allies would certainly assist us in this
pledge to build peace organization
whose foundations rest upon freedom
from want for the entire world.

Mr.. Lewis Rebuffed

The decision of the executive
council of the American Federation
OF Labor to postpone action on the
proposal for readmission of the
United Mine Workers until the Oc-
tober convention does not necessar-
lily means that the Federation's door
has been closed to John L. Lewis
and his miners. But it is definitely
in the nature of a rebuff to MIR.
Lewis, and it may result in the with
drawal of his application for reaf-
f1liation.
When Mr.. Lewis moved for a re-
turn to the AFL several months ago
it was generally believed that the
latter would be happy to receive back
the powerful mine workers union.
But for reasons which are none too
clear this has not proved to be the
case.
The committee appointed to deal
with Mr.. Lewis has been rather
stand -off1sh in its attitude. Ger
tainly its handling of the proposal
has not been marked by any en-
thusiaSm for the return of Mr..
Lewis. One of the difficulties has
centered around the UNIV District
50-a catch-all union which was Gre
ated for the purpose of organizing
workers other than miners and which
has been in conflict with several of
the AFL craft unions. 1t is under
standable that the executive council
would be reluctant to readmit the
miners without some determination
OF the future of District so, for to do
otherwise would be to invite an
1ntensification of jurisdictional quar-
rels within the parent body. And it
Is reasonable to believe that the
hostility of the Progressive Miners
Union Of Illinois, a rival group
chartered by the AFL after Mr..
Lewis withdrew, was an influential
consideration.
But it also is probable that other
factors entered into the decision.
When Mr.. Lewis stalked out of the
AFL in 1885 to set up the CIO he
left much bad feeling behind. BY
1887 this had f1ared into the open.
William Green, AFL president, ac-
cused Lewis of pursuing political
ambitions in fostering dual union
ism, and suggested that the CIO sit
down strikes might be preliminary
step toward a dictatorship by sew
eral hundred Communists on the
C1O payroll. Mr.. Lewis replied that
Mr.. Green becomes "inebriated bv
the exuberance of his own verbos-
ity,' and later followed this with
the statement that Il have explored
the mind Of William Green and I
give you my word there is nothing
there"
These intermittent clashes have
left a heritage of bad feeling which
has not been cleared away. And
while this Of itself might not be suf-
ficient to induce the executive coun-
Gil to deny membership to a union
with some 100000 dues-paying men,
bers, it might we'll be enough to tip
the balance when taken with such
other things as Mr.. Lewis uncom-
promising attitude with respect to
District so. And there is the fur
ther point that there undoubtedly are
members Of the council who would
have good cause to wonder what the
future would hold for them should
Mr.. Lewis be restored to a position
OF power in the inner circles of
the AFL.
