lent farmers, some 90 per cent OF
them were engaged in agriculture
in prewar days and raised 81 per
cent Of Japan's total food require
ments, the balance being imported
from such places as Korea and Man
churia. Their loss OF empire does
not end their access to outside
sources. Even II 1t did they would
still be able, according to authorita-
tive studies, to improve their farm
ing sufficiently to meet the minimum
needs of q larger population than
they have now. In addition, given
their normal fishing industry, they
can once again produce an export
able surplus of sea food.
In other words. though cut back

are potentially self-sufficient. To
be sure, with their empire gone, they
cannot look forward to easy times,
and the limitations of their Mon
tana-size country may force a drop
in their birth rate and gradual
decline in their numbers. Never
theless, as present events show, they
are not threatened with mass star
vation or with extinction as a peo-
pie, despite dark forecasts to the
contrary.

Beyond Biology

Professor E. Newton Harvey. a
Princeton University biologist, re-
Gently predicted that within few
wears the world will at last know the
secret OF the origin Of life.
The prediction is based on the ex-
istence of new biological methods
and tools" that will undoubtedly"
show, in the relatively near future,
how proteins are synthesized and
how they seem somehow to repro
duce themselves. Once this Is
learned, according to Professor Har-
vey, man will know how his life
began.
But will he. really? Will he know
not only all there Is to know about
the protein but also all there is to
know about how the protein came
to be? Will his new methods and
tools" explain to him precisely what
it was, aeons ago, that called some
thing out of nothing and gave it
shape and made 1t breathe? Will
he have the answer to this: Why
Is the universe designed as it Is,
from the atom to the sun and the
myriad stars beyond the sun, and
what Is it that gave all these mar
velous things that we see, or think
that we see, the power to hang in
space in what appears to be reason
able order?
And will man know, after the
biologists have uncovered the last
secret of the protein. the secret of
himself2 Will he know then what
1t was that put into him that intan-
gible and unseeable thing that made
his heart beat and his brain work?
Stab the heart deep enough and
neither 1t nor the brain can ever live
again as a human being. One can
know the mechanics Of the whole
body, and be exactly informed on
the substances that make up bone
and flesh, but can one ever know
how to give life to the bone and
flesh?
Professor Harvey cannot mean
that by learning all there is to learn
about the protein we shall also learn
how to create life. And If we can
never learn that, how can we ever
presume to know-no matter what
our test tubes may show-how life
originated? This is a thing beyond
biology or any other field of science
the Inexplicable Accident, the
First Cause Uncaused, or simply
God.
Professor Harvey has couched his
prediction in hyperbole. The study
Of such things as the protein may
open our eyes to many wonders, but
the finite mind, contemplating the
infinite, can hardly conceive of any
of us learning the secret of the
origin of life itself until the day we
die. We may learn 1t then, If ever.

Too Many DeeibeIs
From the Dallas Morning News.

From the Dallas Morning News.
Long ago we were warned that ad-
vancing civilization would force lis to
live in an age of irritants, not the least
of which would be noise. Folk adjacent
to Love Field seem to be doubling the
wonders of civilization. Perhaps they can
sympathize with residents of Malvern,
Pa who went to court to have the air
port declared a public nuisance. But air
craft are only phase. Automobiles race
and horns toot Trolleys clang. Motor
cycles roar with an eardrum- bursting
reverberation. A Pennsylvania psychi-
ARTIST observes civilization, 1946 style,
glumly: Noise lowers our faculties. 1t
makes us irritable, pessimistic, grumpy.
Time is here, it seems, when social
distinction may depend on the decibel
rating of our home. rather than on its
proximity to the railroad tracks. "Deci-
bel' will creep frequently into print
a term having something to do with
measuring sound. Ironically, civilization
has become so distorted that our local
fashionable districts have bad decibel
rating, due to aircraft. So.called slums
may have better, If the vehicles are
kind
There are partial solutions to this din
and clamor, but nothing totally remedial.
Automobiles and aircraft are here to
stay. So are riveters. We are caught in
our own contraptions. After all, we are
now nation 80 per cent urban. We left
the noise Of young calves and growing
grass for all this.

Food in Jupon

Japan's current food situation Is
a good example of how wrong dire
predictions can prove to be. Around
the time of VI day, many observers
fatty declared that the Land OF the
Rising Sun, stripped of its overseas
empire, could not possibly escape
ghastly mass starvation unless the
Allies extended aid on a vast scale
for an unusually long period. Actu-
ally, however, things have worked
out quite differently, with the people
of the islands apparently able to
supply most of their minimum llV-
ing requirements" out of their own
resources.
The situation in this respect seems
so satisfactory, in fact, that General
MacArthur's headquarters has just
announced a drastic reduction in
the amount of Allied foodstuffs
(nearly all American) to be distrib-
uted to the japanese. Only 25.lOO
tons of imported staples are to be
released, and probably no more than
that will be forthcoming for the rest
of the year. The reason given for
this is that the country-though far
from being out of the woods-has
become increasingly capable of feed
ing itself with its own harvests, par
ticularly the rice crop.
Although more than 70.O0O.O0O
Japanese live in the home islands
an area roughly only the size of
the State of Montana--their ability
to do this is not altogether surpris-
ing. Last. years dire predictions
failed to take into account certain
factors offsetting the productive
limitations OF their land. They are
not meat eaters. They are accus-
toned to meals made up chiefly OF
rice and fish, supplemented by vege-
tables and edible seaweeds. Excel

Capital Sidelights
By Will P. Kennedy.

The library of Colby College, Water
Vile, Me, was enriched during the past
week by the gift of the manuscript OF
Margaretta Wade Campbell Delands
1.-THE Kays." It was given by one OF
Washington's most active collectors OF
out-of- print books, Nathan N. Wallack.
The Library of Congress and score OF
State historical societies have shared in
his distribution of his literary finds
his sole purpose being to place each
rare book or manuscript where 1t Will
be available to those who will most
appreciate it. The Deland manuscript
went to Colby College because that in
stitution is making collection OF the
writings OF Maine authors and for many
years Mrs Deland, who died in 1945 at
the age of 88 years, made her home In
Kennebunkport, Me. The Kays" was
printed in 1926, when Mrs. Deland was
ee. Her first book was The Old Garden
and Other Verses" 1880, published
when she was 29 She contributed at
least 23 volumes to American letters, all
of which have healthy moral tone,
strong alike in their frankness and their
reserve

recently has acquired q considerable
number of extremely interesting hand

manuscripts eventually will be deposited
with Lincoln collections, with State his

Gen. William T. Sherman, giving his
account of battles in the Civil War.
There is very interesting eyewitness
account of the surrender of Fort Sumter,
South Carolina, during the correspond
ence between Horatio King, Postmaster
General, and Gen. Fitz-John Porter, of
considerable value to Lincoln collectors
There likewise are a dozen letters ex-
changed between Mr.. King and Gen.
Joseph Holt, who served as judge in the
famous Surratt trial and Gen. T. M.
Harris, one of the commissioners in the
trial of the assassins of President Lin
coin. Gen. Harris mentions Lincoln,
Andrew johnson, Gen. Hollis feud with
Jacob Thompson, Mrs. Surratt, Booth
and the cost of hiring conveyance for
him, April ID, 1864. Gen. King writes
of Gen. Hollis grave illness and death.
Gen. Holt explains his controversy with
Thompson, who was Secretary of the

WHY Not Try Again?


week ago the unions were repre-
sented as willing to waive other
demands If wage requests were met.
The wage requests were not met.
The Stars suggestion that the wage
issue be arbitrated brought about
an unsuccessful session at the Labor
Department which broke up over
\ inability to agree on the issues to
be arbitrated.
As far as The Star can determine,
the unions insist that these issues,
along with wages, be arbitrated:
Cd Elimination Of a split shift in
the kitchen under which some en-
ployes work eight hours within
twelve.
60 Arbitration of all disputes,
including discharges.
90 Demand for study OF some
group insurance plan, the in1plica-
ton being that such study would
bring an eventual proposal from
management.
"a A 100 per cent allotment to
walters of the compulsory "gratuity'
charge added to the per plate cost
of group dinners. The walters now
take rs per cent, the balance going
to other hotel employees.
60 Employees choice of items from
the menu (by dishwashers, cooks,
walters. The union spokesman
explains this does not mean choice
items, such as steaks and chops.
Whatever it means, the help wants
better food.
60 Two weeks vacation after a
shorter period of service than man
agement has been willing to accept.
One week is now given after year,
increasing by days to two weeks
after five.
Cd Guarantee of a 10 per cent
tip for walters on meals paid for by
"the house"
Management contends these items
add to cost of operation over and
above the cost Of a wage increase
and is not willing to settle wages
until they are out Of the way. The
union contention is that the cost Of
a compromise on wages is the inclu-
sion of other items for settlement.
Management says other issues were
disposed OF through collective bar
gaining, which broke up over wages.
The union disagrees, insisting that
when collective bargaining broke
down, everything was off.
And so it goes. The same ingredi-
ents are found in most of the strikes
today. Both sides may prefer to
settle down now for a test of eco
nomic strength and wait until some
body gets tired and gives in. Why
not expedite the inevitable giving in
process by resuming the Labor De-
partment sessions which broke OF
Friday? One days concentrated
BARGAINING out of seven spent on
strike is not enough.

Should WeBe Content With Peace;
By Rear Admiral W. N. Thomas,
Chief OF Navy ChapIains.

Do we have here an argument for
the continuance Of military and naval
warfare. In order to relieve the con-
tinued nervous tensions OF our day
or something of the sort? Nothing
could be farther from our intent. No
one knows better than an Army or
Navy chaplain the utter stupidity
and degradation of man using his
God-eiven skills< and intelligence in
devising more effective means Of
slaughter and destruction.
What We are saying is simply this:
There is no such thing as the peace"
that most OF us talk about. Live and
let live" is great idea as long as
you happen to be living in relative
ly secure and happy part Of your
community or your wider world. .
Unfortunately we do not, after good
many thousands Of years of thinking,
praying and working have world in
which enough equality and fair play
exist to persuade the current have
nots" to quit plotting against their
more fortunate or at least more pow
erful contemporaries.

Fortunately, in spite of our dis
couraging past, many members of
the human race still believe, sincerely
and emphatically, that the day can
and will come when wars shall be
no more when men will stop
insulting their Creator and honor Him
by living everywhere as brothers
should.
But, until that great day arrives,
we must fight-not in the physical
realm of tooth and claw or atom
bomb If we can possibly avoid it.
But we must fight. nevertheless, with
our hearts and our heads with
out relaxing, without trying to live in
a dream world" of peace" that
does not exist. We must not be con-
tent, for a moment, with living in the
same world with any of the evils
which have as yet declared no arni-
stice" with us or with our unborn
children.
Whatever the odds, we must strive
with all our strength and in all
spheres of life, for the recognition, re-
spect and fulfillment of all those
human rights and responsibilities so
dear to the hearts of free men, every

1.-THE War Is Over" Is q theme song
still ringing in the ears OF D world
already concerned with the preven-
ton of World War III.
One does not have to be pro-
fessional pessimist or hard-fisted
war monger" to realize that there is
something radically wrong with a
peace as preearious as the one we
now enjoy and one would be
something less than q patriot or a
responsible citizen to dismiss without
second thought such realization.
1t may well be that our main difi-
Guilty lies In our conception Of the diff
ference between war and peace. Per-
haps we need more careful def1ni-
ton of each "State of the Nation"
Most of us are prone to think OF
wars in terms Of their dates of decla-
ration and dates Of cessation of hostil-
titles. Technically and legally, Of
course, wars do not begin and end on
certain dates. But it takes a lot Of
brewing to bring on war--or even a
Pearl Harbor" kind of beginning for
a war. And the more we delve into
the matter the more we realize how
artificial difference there is, after
all, between a shooting war and
what goes before or what comes after.
That may sound like very strange
statement. Many will point out that
having millions of human beings in
volved in a titanic physical struggle
when ordinarily they would be pur-
suing constructive and peaceful ways
makes all the difference in the world
between war and peace. Others will
claim that the surcease from killing
and getting killed or MANNED makes
anything but an artificial" differ
ence.
xN n *
But let us look at it this way: The
physical struggle Of shooting war
has behind it something far more
signifcant-a whole series Of pref
udices, hatreds and injustices; con-
f1icts and the stuff from which con-
flicts are made. These exist before the
actual shooting starts and linger on
long after the shooting stops, sonle-
times in a more virulent and spiritu-
ally destructive form than during
the actual clash of arms. WARS OF
nerves" are devastating wars, in
deed.

The Windsor Jewel Case

Sherlock Holmes would have
relished the idea of working on
England's latest crime mystery, the
theft of the Duchess of Windsor's
jewels from Ednam Lodge, near
London. It is a case that would
have been precisely to his liking,
involving as it does the disappear
ance of the Windsor gems almost
under the noses of the police, who,
as Holmes would expect them to be,
are completely baffled.
The case is elementary in a way.
That is, 1t is replete with all the
elements which go to make up a
Conan Doyle story There are the
noted principals, the uncovered
mansion in the country, the staff of
servants, the watchdog that did not
bark, the Scotland Yard men swarm
ing over the shrubbery and climbing
drainpipes and the curious neighbors
peering through fences and gates.
All that Scotland Yard apparently
has been able to learn is that the
Jewels, valued at thousands of
pounds" were in box which dis
appeared from the Duchess bedroom
while the Duke and the Duchess
were away from the lodge. Part of
the treasure later was found strewn
in the grass. The box vanished
despite the fact that police had
posted a special guard on the estate
to prevent just such robbery. The
extra precautions were taken be-
cause of a series of unsolved jewel
thefts in the London area in recent
weeks.
The Yards reputation is at stake
in this case. Its criminologistS may
be expected to use every skill of their
profession and every facility of the
science of modern-day crime detec-
ton. The chances are that they are
better equipped to solve the Windsor
Jewel case than Holmes with all his
intuition and powers of deduction.

Grosvenor Square

Grosvenor Square Will be an
ideal site for Britain's monument to
Franklin D. Roosevelt. 1t was so
much the center of American activ-
ity during World War II that it was
named "Eisenplatz." The principal
director of that effort knew the little
park when he was q boy and still
better when he was Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Navy during the First
World War. Some of his English
ancestors lived in the neighborhood
long before the United States was
dreamed Of.
The standard guides to Londen
speak of the Square as another
highly fashionable place Of abode" !"
It was laid out originally by Sir
Richard Grosvenor in 1895. The site
previously had been called "Oliver's
Mount" because 1t was crowned by
an earthwork thrown up by citizens
when Charles was approaching the
city after the Battle of Edgehill in
ls43. Many fine houses were built
around the green" early in the
17O0's. A few of those establish
ments still remain, though much
altered by successive generations of
tenants.
Lord Chesterfield lived at the
corner of South Audley street and
allegedly wrote his celebrated 'Let-
ters" in a room which was shown
to the public as recently as 1885.
Lord North, the Tory statesman
whom many historians blame for
the american Revolution, died in the
Square in 1902. Bulwer Lytton,
romantic novelist, resided at No.

In the vicinity were: John Wilkes,
the "demagogue";; Alexander Pope,

osopher, and the Earl of Shaftes-

tartan. A tablet on the front of No.
