The schools that have not alread!

right now ought to be good tim,
to think about the Job of writing fol
The Junior Star.
/ Every year about this time, tn.
j. s. starts lining up its new schoo
correspondents. Some Of last year..
reporters are still with us, but thu
majority have passed on to college
to the various services or to jobs
And that means that the opportu-
mites for new writers are greater
now than at any other time ol
year.
If you are a boy or girl not vel
beyond high-school age -.
If you are interested in journalism
as a possible career -.
Or if you just like to write for the
fun of 1t -.
You are invited to contribute tc
this page.
The j. s. needs new correspond
ents in all the schools of the Dis
trict and nearby Maryland and Vir.
ginia, private schools as well az
public. If you've read this page
regularly, you know what kind Of
stories and articles are wanted
interviews with school celebrities
stories of the adventures, hobbies
and other activities of your school
mates. And, of course, I'm always
glad to discuss any story or article
with any boy or girl who cares tc
drop in at The Junior Star office.
As in the past, teachers of jour-
nalism and English are invited tc
appoint members of their classes to
act as official correspondents of their
schools. These boys and girls will
be given practical experience in
writing for publication, which should
prove helpful in their school work
Aside from the fun of writing TO,
newspaper and the thrill of see
ing your stuff in print, under your
name, you'll win prizes Of 81 each
for your best efforts. And this will
enable you to buy more War Stamps
than ever before.

Louis Schwartz, IA, of 1443 Gales

priesthood at st. Charles College
Baltimore, is considerably impressed
by RoSedale Fairgrounds method OF
salvaging waste paper. He writes
Indeed, the skillful manner in
which the Rosedale authorities &c
about gathering paper for the sal
wage drive is most interesting"
For one thing, boys and girls who
wished to swim in the Rosedale pool
this summer were charged paper
fares" The 10 boys and 10 girls
bringing in the most paper were
given passes to movie. And the
boy and girl with the most paper
of all were given a pint OF ice cream,
besides.

Young men writing of Paris, or old
men remembering youth in Paris,
seem to believe that rapture is a
sort of duty for them. They lyricize
automatically.
Well, that is the fare which the
present book sets forth. Harold
Ettlinger of the staff of the Chicago
Sun was young man when he got
Paris assignment. He had all the
routine thrills, and here he writes
about them, routinely. The Left
Bank, the market women, the Dome,
the unembarrassed lovers, the aperi-
tifs and so on-all the trade imped-
imenta. even to the assertion that
Paris is like a woman and that
Paris is immortal. One trusts that
he is right, but, with the best will
in the world, one gets a little tired

The Road to Serfdom

Omnipotent Government
BY Ludwig Won Misses. yale
UniUersityJ
The authors of these two books are
both Germans, both economists,
both expatriates by reason of dis
like of Naziism. They have written,
on the identical theme,
and each says, In a preface, that
his reason has been that the sub
ject seems to him more important
than any other in the present world
situation. The subject Is the immi-
nent destruction of human free
dom by collectivist mechanisms, the
wiping out of the rights of man
by an oncoming regime of social
ism. Both authors saw the rise of
Naziism in Germany at first hand,
and both were students of the causes
which made Naziism possible. Both
clearly discern the same initial
symptoms in America and England.
Their books, however, are not
mere warnings. Both are scholarly
examinations of the relative values
of the socialist and capitalist sys-
TENS. Drawing on a vast wealth of
historical and sociological data, the
professors present in impressively
authoritative manner what Is of
course plain to mere common sense
that socialism has never worked
and, indeed, because of its nature
cannot work except under a die
tatorship and that the ideal of hu-
man freedom and the rights of man
found its first practical expression
under capitalism and is an insep-
arabic accompaniment of the cap
italist society. You cannot have So
cialism Cor communism, or state So
cialism, or government interven-
tion) and be anything but slaves,
and you cannot have capitalism and
not be free. These are their find
ings.
Prof. Hayek follows the line of
examining the allegations of the
collectivists as to the necessity and
the benefits to be obtained by their
systematic inevitability of plan
ming" the attainment of security
and plenty, the enhancing of de-
mocracy under a socialized state.
He finds these claims quite unsup-
ported by facts. Germany and Rus
sia are the two great examples Of
socialism today, and in neither has
there been security, plenty. democ-
racy or a more equal distribution of
wealth, while both have been mill
taristic states. His book had ear
lier publication in England, where
it was something Of q sensation.
Prof. Won Misses treats more d.
rectly of the rise of socialism in
Germany, a phenomenon, which he
says began in the 1860s and made
not only Naziism but imperialism

The Gentleman From
Massachusetts

By Karl Schrtttgtesser. little
BrOUn.)
Seldom does q biographer under
take to write history of a subject
whom he holds to be detestable.
Commonly, indeed, biographers
choose their subjects because Of an
attraction to them. Ideally, they
hold an attitude of complete de-
tachmsnt. But here we have a
clear case of auctorial contempt.
The gentleman" of the title is the
late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge,
and Karl Schriftgiesser evidently
considers Mr.. Lodge a poseur, a
hypocrite, bigot and, in effect If
not in intention, betrayer of his
country.
He tears the one-time respected
statesman to pieces to the length of
$50 pages, finding little that was
even creditable in the Lodge career
And, somehow, one fails to feel his
conviction. The reviewer is q Dem
ocrat from a family of Democrats
She remembers the intensity with
which every one whom she respect
ed supported Wilson's plan for the
League Of Nations and the resent.
ment which centered about Mr.
Lodge for his opposition. So she
certainly cannot be accused of party
sentiment in her lack of sympathy
with Mr.. Schriftgiesser's reasoning
1t seemed to her, however, that tt
judge a man out of the context a
his time is not quite ethical.
You may show him in times per.
spective and illuminate his error.
by the light of events. but to in.
flict on him the verdict of one def
mite era for his conduct in another
equally definite one is no real con
tribution to history. That is Mr.
Schriftgiessers method. He write:
of Mr.. Lodge as If Mr.. Lodge hao
known everything which we know
today. Apart from that objection

and militarism inevitable. Liberal
ism, which he finds to be the po-
litical expression Of capitalism, went
down to defeat before collectivism,
he says, when the people had be-
come accustomed to an improved
standard Of living and were impa-
tient that the improvement proceed
ed slowly, The collectivists then
began their work Of boring from
within, advocating government In
reference to achieve ends which
were popularity desirable. As he
points out, the last elected Reich
stag before World War had a
considerable socialist majority.
Neither author disputes the need
OF protective legislation In matters
OF health, unemployment relief and
the rights Of labor. Their objections
are aimed at the system which pro-
poses to achieve such ends by
wrecking the system Of market
economy which has brought about
the highest level Of prosperity yet
to be reached In history.

has met on her two-month, tour of

out exception, she has enchanted
them all, from stage doorman,

fine as that she cast around her

1t is difficult to select the one OF
the numerous spots where she has

could be made for the LIS am. per-
