Ardea of Virgil Recalled

TO the Editor Of The Star:
I wonder whether our men fighting
around the little town of Ardea near
Rome realize that in that neighborhood
was fought the decisive battle between
the Trojans and Latins as described
by Virgil in the 18th book of the Aeneid?
King Latinus begs his disaffected son
Turnus to:
Review the uncertainties of war:
Have pity on thy father, full of years
And sorrow, separated far from thee
In Ardea thine own native land"
In the negotiations preceding this
battle Aeneas promises the King:
But If the victory. shall declare
The field our own-as think it will,
And so the will is of the gods-I neer
viii make the Italians slaves to Troy"
When AeneaS slew Turnus before Ar
dea and won the battle, the Trojans
were received as friends and became a
part of the Italian nation. 1t is doubt
full II our own Trojan-hearted soldiers
will care to settle down in Italy though
it is a most alluring country. Roma
Beata and Roma Eterna may it con-
tinue to remain!

enormous. the more so since SO little
was expected of Russia. The Soviet
resistance has the nature of a myth
and miracle, and the Soviet country
emerges as land Of the future.
The Soviet war has the audacitv
associated with youth, before the i'm
agination begins to fail and caution
calcifies action. Whether that audacity
deploys armies by brilliant and daring
strategy and tactics or transforms the
union into a commonwealth while cele-
brating another victory with salvos,
one has the sense Of movement and
purposefulness which our war lacks.
Our leaders do not wish to face this
fact. Actually they back and fill before
1t. They reach out one hand to Stain
and clutch with the other at every
head from which crown is slipping
or has fallen. They fight against
Fascist counterrevolution with a hesi-
tating and half-apologetic conservatism.
On the issues that demand a viewpoint
and program they are silent.

German breadbasket.
In taking places like Nikopol,
moreover, the Red Army weakens
Hitler in other theaters besides Rus

American air offensive in the west
hurts him not only in the west but
IN the east, too, the Russian on

plies on open beaches Troops and
supplies can move overland by rail or
truck in any kind of weather short of
blizzard; infantry and armored troops
can maneuver and fight regardless of
rain, low ceilings or high winds.
Such conditions lower the efficiency
Of air craft, and the efficient use of
landing barges and naval gunfire to a
much greater extent than they do the
efficiency of ground elements That is
what we are up against in Italy, and
that is why the Germans have been able
to bring reinforcements to bear against
our beachhead in greater strength than
we have been able to bring in troops
and supplies to defend it. It is also the
reason why we have been held up so
long at Casino and on the Sth Army
front.
But We should remember that the
Germans are gambling greatly If they
can wipe out our beachhead before
Casino gives way. and before the 9th
Army gets chance to mount a full
scale attack they will have won a VIC
tory of substantial proportions both in
the military and the psychological fields
But If all their efforts prove insufficient,
If the weather breaks and our air power
gets fully tc work, if Casino falls at
last and the 9th Army rolls ahead, then
they may lose very considerable num-
ber of their best troops, their prestige
with their neighbors and puppets, and
the morale of the German people will
have suffered blow from which it may
never recover
Thus the stake grows larger in Italy
as the issue of the battle hangs in the
balance, testing to the last ounce the
endurance and fighting qualities OF
troops of whom we may we'll be proud
whatever the result of the present
struggle.

Japs Considered Mistakes

JapS Considered Mistakes
To the Editor of The Star:
The Japanese have revealed their true
character in the Philippines. They
should no longer be considered as human
beings nor treated as such.
Anybody who has visited Japan and
seen the people in the mass must re-
gard the race as freak of nature, the
prevailing type being misshapened little
dwarfs who hate and envy the normal
human being. They will continue to be
source of trouble until they meet the
usual fate of mistakes of nature and
become extinct. M. D. WHEEL Err.

History Repeats

Their tentative approval of the
plan to divide equally. between the
District and the National Govern
ment, the expense of Zoo mainte-
nance suggests little background
which may be of interest to Chair
man Coffee and his colleagues of
the House Subcommittee on District
Appropriations. The fairness with
which they have considered this
matter is highly gratifying to the
people of the District.
Nearly fifty-four years ago this
Identical proposal was before Con-
gress, members of the House arguing
that the District should assume half
the cost of the new Zoos mainte-
nance, with the Senate spokesmen
arguing against charging any of
that cost to the District on the
ground that the Zoo was strictly a
national institution (Which it still
Isl and wholly beyond any local con-
troll (as it is now. The late Senator
John j. Ingalls, Of Kansas expressed
Senate sentiment when he said:
I do not think that I ever knew
OF an illustration of more perfect
tyranny than is evinced by that
provision of this bill !" The
people of the District have no rep
resentation on the board, no con-
nection with its management, no dis
position whatever of the finances
which are to be disbursed. ""' 1t
(the Zoo) is to be a great national
institution, and protest in the name
OF the people here against imposing
upon them this invidious and unjust
and unnecessary burden in addition
to what they already endure.
But the fifty-fifty plan of Zoo
financing finally won out and it
lasted until Congress first ignored,
then repealed, the basic law of
matching District appropriations
with Federal funds, first on a fifty
fifty. later on the sixty-forty basis.
Under the substituted annual lump
sum-now 000,000-the Districts
proportionate share of Zoo mainte-
nance has steadily increased until it
is something over 80 per cent. In
going back to the fifty fifty arrange
ment for the Zoo, Chairman Coffee
and his colleagues are merely re-
suming the House point of view
which prevailed in 1890.
Zoo financing is important be-
cause Of the principle involved. The
Districts tax resources as commu-
nifty are strictly limited and when
the expense of national or semi
national undertakings is charged to
the local taxpayer, along with the
ordinary expenses of the municipal
ity, both sides suffer. The funds for
such national institutions as the Zoo
are held down to the level of local
tax revenues. The community is
deprived Of needed revenue for
strictly local purposes because of the
burden imposed by costly national
or seminational undertakings, OF
which the Zoo is one.
The disadvantages were not so
apparent under a fixed ratio system
of appropriations, when the dollars
OF the local taxpayer were matched
in definite proportion by Federal
dollars. But abandonment of that
principle, leaving to luck or chance
the size Of the lump sum, makes
more necessary than ever resort to
such separate arrangements as the
one illustrated by the new Zoo
financing scheme.

successful in accomplishing this, it would
be victory for the Germans of far
greater consequence on the general
course OF the war than the numbers
involved might suggest. In the mill
tary sense, it would be no more than a
limited achievement; nasty setback
for the Allies. But the effect of such a

5.-Unrest was reported spread

and Nicaragua, and information
available here indicated, the
Presidents of both may have
resigned.
A dispatch from Ell Salvador to
the Costa Rican newspaper Presna
Libre said Gen. Tiburcio Carias An
dino, President of Honduras, already
had quit, delegating his powers to
Vice President Abraham williams.
The Salvadorean radio announced
later a passive resistance movement
had sprung up in Nicaragua against
President Anastasio Somoza. Mica
raguans here said his resignation
was expected momentarily,
The causes Of the unrest in Hon.
duras and Nicaragua were not I'm

Guatemala last week an uprising
followed suspension of constitutional
guarantees by President Jorge Ubico
and he resigned.

of the military junta which took
over the Guatemalan government
after Ubico's resignation. was elected
interim President yesterday by the
National Assembly He will serve
for six months, during which he
must set date for a general elec-
ton.

York. yesterdays only direct
word from Honduras, reported
demonstrations in many cities
but said there were no events to

the President OF Honduras is

In State Department circles, an
official said yesterday.
(Gen. Carias' resignation and
the delegation Of his powers to
Vice President Williams Is re-
garded here as strictly an in
ternal affair within Honduras,
and 1t is considered unlikely that
there will be any change in rela-
tions between Honduras and the

this deyelopment)
