This and That

BETHESDA, Md.

BETHESDA, Md.
Dear Sir:
Has your pet robin, the famous Lily
Belle, come back this spring?
Our family has followed her ad-
ventures for the past five years, and we
never rest satisfied until we know that
she has come in.
This pleasure Of having the same
bird every year is new to us. We never
had the pleasure. All birds look alike
to us. How do you tell Lily from the
rest of them?
I'VE have sometimes wondered If
Lily is an amiable fiction, or does she
really exist, and, If so, how you are
so sure it is she.
Perhaps an answer would interest
other readers as we'll
Yours, H. L. c."
Lily Belle returned last week.
She came in on a fair breeze and a
cool one, but the air was beginning to
to have touches of real spring.
Maybe Lily knew it.
She flew into the old maple tree, her
first home, and to which she has come
back every spring for five years.
She made the calling sound for which
Acl specifies Is famous.
There was no mistaking that voice.
coming from that tree, and uttered
with the intonation she possesses.
There's Lily Belief
Sure enough, there was Lily Belle.
A little older, perhaps, but that same
lift of the head and that old eager
desire for something to eat.
That something, of course, was Amer
ica's magnificent raisin.
Perhaps one has to be a robin to
appreciate raisins, seeded or unseeded
AS for us, we do not like them. (They
usually give us a stomach ache.)
Robins, having tough innards, go for
raisins in big way Many other birds,
including mockingbirds,, various SPAR
rows, and thrushes, like them.
There is no accounting for taste. it
is true.
Some birds like seeds, others prefer
grains, and others fruits.
Some human beings like onions, others
want vanilla ice cream and still others
valiantly accept spinach

smugly.
"Iid9 IAicy w ilOC KNOW yet is CnaC
it is iron in form mostly unassimilable
by the human digestive system.
While spinach has an undoubted
iron content, very little of this metal
can be put into the blood stream.
Yolk OF egg is a much better iron
producer in the human system.
Whole wheat and other whole grains
do better.
Spinach. as far as iron is concerned,
is a sort of dietetic fraud.
1t does act as sort of bulk pro-
ducer and contains all the elements
found in true green leafy vegetables
Lily Belle gets her iron from earth
worms and raisins.
A mess of worms, taken early in the
morning, is guaranteed to be full OF
helpful iron. But who-except birds
wants to get his iron that way?
They do say that if any one wants
to eat earthworms in acceptable form
he should have woodcock for supper
That beautiful and interesting bird
lives on them and is regarded by ex-
perts as pure earthworm transformed
by the wonders of metabolism into
bird flesh.

minimum Of travel between the two
zones despite the American effort to
persuade the Russians to permit the
exchange of supplies.
From available information, it ap-
pears that about 10000 Koreans, for
merly in the Red Array and now in
civilian clothes, are the top admin
istrators of Northern Korea under Rus
sian orders. These men and their
leaders are said to be thoroughly "in-
doctrinated" and to have become the
tools OF Moscow. They are all strongly
in favor of establishing a democratic
goyernment-Russian style-and, with
the usual terroristic methods, are sup
pressing all those attempting to oppose
them. Because of the laXity of the
American control, their agents, well
provided with cash, have penetrated in
the south, where they are attempting
to organize adherents to the Russian
cause. Judging from performances in
other sections of the world, it is prob
able that they will reach their aim
without much trouble
The American forces of occupation
are going about their task of keeping
law and order and helping the coun-
try to get back on it's feet They do not
get entangled into any partisan dis
putes unless the peace of the country is
threatened. The people have complete
freedom to express political thoughts.
The men in the forces of occupation
have one paramount thought-when
will they have sufficient points to get
home.
No such thing exists across the bor-
der. The Red Army is professional and
in most instances its members find it
more comfortable and remunerative to
be stationed in foreign lands.
Under the pressure of the demo-
Gratis" assisted by their own Russian
trained police forces and by stable Red
military contingents, only pro-Soviet po-
Etlcal activities are permitted
All doubt about the Russian inten-
tons has now been dispelled. Soviet
officials, regardless of whether they
are in the armed or civil services, do
not speak out of turn. There seems to
be no question in the minds of Amer
ican officials that the Soviet general
expressed the views of his government
when he stated bluntly what type of
government Korea must have in the
future so that Korea cannot become the
base for an attack against the Soviet

No More COMPROMISE
By George Fielding Eliot

II the Iranian government persists in
It's stated intention to bring its COM
plant against Russia before the Secur-
ity Council of the United Nations, it
won't do anybody any good to try to
dodge it.
It's true enough, as Walter Lippmann
says, that there has not been enough
diplomatic preparation. It's true enough
that neither we nor the British
have an Ambassador at Moscow. and
that the Russian Ambassador at Wash
ington has just returned to his post
after long absence. 1t is impossible tc
carry on high-level diplomatic discus
sions through the medium of charge
d'affaires
But there is no getting away from tht
fact that the spotlight of world atten-
tion is now turned on this Iranian sit
uation. 1t symbolizes to all the worried
little peoples of the world their own
fears and their own anxieties. 1t may be
very wrong of them to feel that way
1t may be very wrong of them to expect
the newly-born and ill-prepared Sc
curity Council to act effectively Bu,
act it must, or suffer loss of confdenc
which will go far toward wrecking il
usefulness for the future.
Boiled down, what this really mean
is-wil the United States and Greal
Britain, who possess all the power worth
speaking of in the world which is not
Russian power, stand up firmly in sup
port of the principles to which they are
pledged, and insist that the Russians
likewise stick to those principles-to
which. of course, the Russians are also
pledged?
If they do, even though they are not
Immediately successful in getting the
Russians out of Iran, there will be a
tendency toward confidence for the
future Nobody expects the Americans
and British to send fighting forces into
Iran to eject the Russians. The disas-
trous thing would be for the western
democracies to make a deal which COM
promised the principles of the Charter
principles which continued Russian
presence in Iran very clearly violates.
1t may be admitted that the council
is not ready to face such issues 1t
should have more time to get organized
But you have to begin somewhere in this
process of making a better world We
have done quite lot of compromising
with principles already. We compromised
over Poland-and the results are not
too encouraging. We compromised over
Romania and Bulgaria-and what has
been the result? These compromises
have simply brought us into general
discredit without accomplishing the pur-
poses for which they were intended. We
cannot afford any more compromises Of
that sort-and there is every indication
that this view is now strongly held

Without jangling poice to spoil
The SAVIOUR of his bread and cheese.
With bldckthorn cudgel proof against

And he may not run into fog.

That puts strange country nnderhee,,
That laps against his heart, and sets
Upon his eyes siluer seal.

An ankle upon slipping stone:

Questions Mr.. Byrnes' Attitude

u -is DyAHSS @Ati'odS
To the Editor of The Star:
No one wishes to consider Cur Secre-
tary of State anything but true Amer
ican. However, his strange faith in
Soviet Russia does not give the country
feeling of security. Why does he
retain a pro-Soviet element in his de-
partment? 1t is evident that those who
favor the most despotic dictatorship the
world ever has known must be anti
democratic and consequently anti-Amer-
ican in their political opinions. These
officials certainly know that contrary
to the agreements, Russia has taken
over all of the countries on her bor-
ders, together with the machinery, ma
terials and everything else of value with
only feeble protest from the other
Allies, and the continued aggression in
Iran makes the UNO already defunct
and useless outfit.
Mr.. Byrnes has promised to speak
to Russia in strong terms, but up to now
he has not stepped out of his role as
an appeaser. Could it be that he feels
obliged to maintain this attitude in
order to assure the administration the
support of the radical elements at the
polls next fall?
II that is the case, the only hope for
the future of this country lies in the
combination of the anti-New Deal
Democrats of the South with the Re-
publicans of the North. Otnerwise. our
United States will become sad, help
less political mess like poor France.

Iran and UNO

The formal filing of an appeal to
the Security Council of UNO by the
1ranian government of its dispute
with Soviet Russia is, in itself, a de-
sirable and gratifying move. Reports
OF intense Russian pressure upon
Premier Ahmad Ghavam, culminat-
Ing in an alleged threat that an ap-
peal to UNO would be considered by
Moscow as IAN unfriendly act" the
diplomatic equivalent of an ulti-
matum followed by war, had cast
doubt on Trans venturing to exercise
its Charter right to take the dispute
before the Council. In that case,
our Government had announced its
intention to bring the complaint in
Trans stead. However, the direct ap-
proach is preferable as the better
way of handling a crucial situation.
For crucial it certainly is in every
respect, The Iranian protest, though
primarily stressing the new devel-
opments" which have arisen by rea-
son of Russias failure to honor it's
commitments under the treaty of
June, 1912, requiring evacuation of
1ranian territory by March 2, 1916,
likewise includes the original dispute
over Azerbaijan which was remand
ed by the Council last January
for Russo-Iranian negotiation, but
which has never been settled. The
Iranlan note asserts that "these acts
are in violation of the aforesaid
treaty, and also in violation of the
Declaration of Teheran and the
Charter of the United Nations" In
all probability, another complica-
ton will form part of the Council
proceedings. This is the setting up
OF Russian-sponSored autonomous
Kurdish republic" in Northern Iran,
whose newly-raised forces are al
ready repeatedly clashing with Ira
man government troops. This is of
course. another infringement of
Trans sovereignty and integrity.
There would seem to be nothing
that Moscow can do to prevent the
Russo-1ranian dispute from coming
up before the Council, despite the
Soviet request that the Council
meeting be postponed from next
Monday until April TO- Even though
1t is possible that this request may
be granted and that Russia might
In the meantime engineer an over
throw of the existing Teheran gov
ernment and set up puppet regime,
it is unlikely that such an obvious
Russian creation would be recog-
nized by the Council. AS our own
Government has made clear, more
over, the United States will press
the case should anything OF this
sort happen.
1t is thus as certain as can well
be imagined that, in some form or
other, the Russo-Iranian dispute
will be laid before the Council and
acted upon early in its agenda. Then
will come the supreme test, not only
OF UNO but also of the shape of the
postwar world.

One God Not Yet Found? :?

To the Editor Of The Star:
From the Pope to the rabbi. clerev
men OF all faiths are pleading and
calling for a return to God. To what
God?
The terms God, Lord, have come
down to us from the Greek Septau-
ginte: Theos, God; Kurios, Lord But
the authors of the Septuaginte were
the non-JewiSh Pharisaic rabbis who
knew nothing of the language of the
prophets, and next to nothing of the
language of the Greeks. The greatest
OF them all, Rabbi Akiba, was a grand
son OF Haman, and up to the age of 40
he did not even know the Hebraic
alphabet (Abboth Rabbi Nathan,
chapter 81.
The obvious recorded fact is that the
several gods were designated by Moses
and the prophets by proper names in
singular and compound form. Mofe.
Moses and the prophets give us a de-
tailed description of the anthropomor-
phic characteristics of the several gods.
Hence Moses commanded to love only
the one God.
What seems to be the only truism In
the entire rabbinic literature is this:
Said Rabbi Pinchas, son of Yair in
the name of Rabbi Joshua, son of Levi,
why are the Israelites praying and their
prayers are not answered? Because
they do not know the true name of
God" (Psikta Rabossi, end chapter 32).
And for the same reason the prayers
of the Pope and cardinals are not an
swered, either.
Clerics of all faiths should first re-
study the subject matter of the gods
and discover the one God. Then will
their appeal have universal response.
