"Labor's Educational and Political
League" to get American labor
to go to the polls and bring about
the defeat of reactionary, anti-la-
Dor candidates for Congress and
to elect those Representatives who
will favor repeal of the Taft Hart
ley law.
Adopted a strong, clear-cut
foreign policy declaration which en-
dorsed the Marshall plan for Eu-
ropean aid and which assailed un-
equivocally the aggressive and ex-
pansionist policies of Soviet Rus
sia.
3-Drafted a positive legislative
program for 1913, including pas
sage of long-range and effective
national housing program, the
broadening of social security COW
erage and an increase in benefits
paid, inauguration of national
health insurance, and the lifting Of
the minimum wage level to at least
rs cents an hour. 81. &.

initiation and called upon the Gov
ernment to take action to lower
prices.
5-Raised the per capita tax
paid by the affiliated unions to
the American Federation of Labor
from a base rate of 2 cents per
member per month to a new flat
rate of cents. The increase is ex-
pected to yield an estimated ST.

6-Amended the AFL's constitu-

federal labor unions to sign non
communist affidavits and use the
services of the National Labor Re-
lations Board for collective bar

southern organizing campaign and
extend it ultimately into nation
wide membership drive.
8-Urged greatly expanded fed
eral aid for the educational institu-
tions of the nation and for the well
fare of the children attending the
country's schools.
The 700 delegates to the AFL's|
largest convention were kept busy
over and acting upon
of 200 resolutions brought
to the attention of the convention.
So great was the press of business
that a night session was called to
clear the way for the adjournment
of the convention on schedule.
One of the final actions coming
before the delegates was the selec-
ton Of the convention city for the
1913 session. The convention voted
to accept an invitation to hold the
session in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"There is a great opportunity,

"While the American labor press

fact about the CIPEx achievement is that
OF it's manifest cultural value. It may not
require intelligence simply to collect
stamps and covers. Brain power Of high
order, however, is necessary for the skilled
study of philatelic material. The frames
exhibited at the centennial represented
careful, painstaking activity on the part
OF hundreds of devotees. Not simply the
development of the universal postal system
was reflected. Equally impressive was the
mirror which, to paraphraSe Shakespeare,
was held up to every phase of civilization.
The very nature of the art of stamp de-
signing accounts for this -inclusiveness.
Every conceivable interest of humanity
has been pictured on millions of scraps OF
paper which have done duty in the postal
service. Thus it happens that, in effect,
they are windows on Creation. Few indi-
viduals, indeed, can resist their magnetism,
once it has been demonstrated to them.
The gain in terms of education, co-opera-
tion and good will need not be argued
CIPEx exemplif1ed useful asset of man
kind, and all who were identified with 1t
deserve congratuIation.

Clearing the Air

The proposed House investigation of
alleged communistic influences in the
District public schools will serve a useful
purpose If 1t clears the air, once and for
ALL of suspicious, rumors and unsupported
charges which have been circulating since
the unfortunate Western High incident" !"
Charges by Adelbert Lee, member of the
Board of Education, that even school
textbooks are contaminated with Red
propaganda make it desirable that an OBJ
jective inquiry be conducted by some out
side group. Otherwise the field will be
wide open for more charges and counter
charges, including those of the loose va
riety. The schools are bound to suffer
from an unsettled controversy of this
kind.
The subcommittee has shown wisdom
In deciding to conduct its inquiries be-
hind closed doors. This decision will be
disappointing, of course, to any would-be
witnesses who might be inclined to bask
in the limelight for the sake of publicity,
rather than for any real concern for the
schools. Persons who sincerely believe
they have information of interest to the
investigators, on the other hand, will be
encouraged to appear If the hearing
atmosphere Is more judicial than show
like.
This is the type of hearing that nat
urally attracts irresponsible rumor mongers
and publicity seekers. What is needed
in this inquiry, however, is minimum of
rumors and opinions and maximum of
facts. And the sooner the facts can be
stablished-regardless of what they may
be-the sooner can our schools settle down
again to the important job Of educating
our children, unhampered by controversy
and dissension of the sort that has pre-
vailed too much of late.

Adventures End

The reports of an imminent accord with
Argentina may be taken to signify the
end Of what has been, for us, curious
and unfruitful adventure in diplomacy.
Ostensibly, our objective has been to
to It's obligations under the Act OF Cha
pultepec. And for those who are salts
fed with ostensible results, this diplomatic
clash OF arms has ended in our favor.
For Argentina, at the least, has conformed
to the substance of the three main obi
cations undertaken at Chapultepec-
namely, the elimination Of Nazi influences
from her schools, the liquidation of Nazi
business interests and the deportation of
suspected Nazi agents.
There is reason to believe, however, that
our real aim, at least in the beginning,
was to undermine Peron on the theory
that his government was a menace to
peace in the Western Hemisphere, and,
If possible, to bring about his political
downfall. No success has attended this
effort. In fact, If anything, Peron's po-
litical position in Argentina was strength
ened rather than weakened by what the
Argentines regarded as unwarranted in
reference in their domestic affairs
The fair inference from the current
news reports is that we have had a change
Of heart, and that, from now on, our policy
will be pointed toward a mutually salts
factory understanding with Argentina
There Is every reason to believe that the
best interests Of both countries will be
served by moving in this direction
One of the first things which needs to
be done by us is to take decision on the
projected Hemisphere Defense Pact, under
which we would furnish arms to Latin
American countries. This has been at
tackled by the emotionally inclined on the
ground that we should not supply arms to
dictators. But here, again, the argument
is one which neglects the national
interest.
For If we do not sell arms to Argentina,
for instance, Argentina will get them else
where. On the other hand, if we do supply
arms to the Latin Americans we will have
at least some control over their irrespon-
sible use, since they will have to look to us
for ammunition, requirements, etc. But
the best reason for going forward with
this mutual defense arrangement is simply
this. Prior to World War II the Nazis
gained their strongest foothold in Latin
America by supplying arms and training
missions to the governments there.
Through these means they were able to
exercise powerful influence, and, II we
insist on remaining aloof now, we will
simply be inviting some one else to move
into the vacuum. To adopt that policy
when we are otherwise attempting to con-
tain communism on a worldwide front
would be stupid.

This and That
BIZ Charles Z. Tracewell

Where was the old man?
Mother blue jay had brooded the eggs for
is days, during which time the male bird never
once appeared upon the scene.
He was gone, but the question was whether
he had deserted her, or been killed, or was
staying away for some other reason.
There she had been on the eggs, for full
16 days, the time which this column had
predicted would be necessary for the Matching.
And on that sixteenth day, there were the
babies-and there, also, was Old Man Jay!
#*
Where he had been, or why he had stayed
away, he did not say, but his mate apparently
was glad to see him.
Both of them peered down into the nest,
situated out on the end of curving branch
of locust over the driveway.
They looked very much pleased with what
they saw.
The mother bird kept the little ones covered
SO that it was impossible to count them, but
jays usually have from three to six young.
From time to time she would twist her neck
and look down. into the nest.
Father. jay would perch on small branch
directly above the nest, and place a choice
worm in the mouth of his mate.
Despite the fact that she must have been
very hungry, her first thought was Of the
mouths below her.
, The ragged rim of the nest stuck out all
around her. Jays are careless nest builders,
the platform being of small sticks, and these
sticking out at all angles
Yet it is enough to support the eggs. In
this particular nest building they were held
in tightly by the new stalks of leaves which
had grown up at the end of the large bough
where it had been cut off.
This is way locust trees have of doing,
and in this case 1t made an ideal nest site,
although an easy road for wandering squirrels
and even cats.
1t should be said that in the Is days. no
animal of any kind molested the mother bird
and her nest.
That first day, the male bird would have
driven them off, but after that, apparently
there was no protection for her except her own
endeavors.
In this species, Of course, the two look ex-
actly alike.
We have wondered If just one of them
appeared at time and if we were seeing
both of them. one after the other, on the
nest.
We gave up this idea. however. being sure
that the bird we saw all the time was the
one and only mother
There was something about her purely
feminine.
Surely no male creature could have exactly
that way of peering down into the nest
The bluebird neck is flexible thing
1t had aspects of kindness in it, that bend
ing neck
Every hour or two she would fly of the
nest, and away, evidently for food, but always
come back in few minutes
Upon that triumphal Matching day, when
the young and the father appeared there
was no question of who would find the food.
He was on the wing constantly bringing
back morsel after morsel. All baby birds are
fed on insects and small worms, the food be-
ing poked far down the throat.
Young throat muscles refuse to work when
the baby has had enough for the time being:
then the mother bird gives that naorsel to
the next most insistent bird
As explained here recently In letter from
Q ZOO authority, young birds are not fed In
turn, but the most ciamorous frst. and then the

When the Arabian delegation to the San
Francisco Conference landed in this country
in 1945, members were asked what they would
like to see most Of all in America.
Their reply, SO the story goes, was "your
shelterbelt project"
While 1t might have surprised State De-
partment greeters, the request Of the Arabians
was received here as a great compliment to
Americas most controversial forestry project.
No one was more pleased than officials of
the Agriculture Departments Forest Service,
those men who supervised the planting OF
nearly $4,000 miles of trees from 1884 to 1943,
stretching south from North Dakota to Texas.
Hardly a month goes by that the Forest
Service people are not playing host to foreign
visitors anxious to view the project and learn
ways of adapting it to their homeland.
Launched in the summer of 1894, the year
of the great drought the tree planting project
was designed to ameliorate drought condi-
tiors, protect crops and livestock, reduce dust
storms and provide employment for drought
victims.
E. N. Munns, division chief of the Forest
Service and one of the men working on
the project from its beginning. recalls an
inspection trip he made last fall through
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska. IT
am amazed at the way the belts have grown"
he says, then adds: THE project has been a
success"
Nurseries in the West cannot now produce
enough trees and shrubbery to keep up with
the farmer demand for planting stock, he says,
although the program is now out of Govern
ment hands - 50 '@ss
Where and When 1t Started.
Mr.. Munns says the Prairie States Forestry
Project, as it Is known formally, had its
genesis on a hot, denuded slope near Butte,
Mont, in 1882, when the train of Presidential
Candidate Roosevelt was held up three hours
by train wreck up the line.
Chatting with newspapermen, Mr.. Roosevelt
commented that when he got In the White
House he was going to see what he could do
for that part of the country. In May of the
following year, Maj. R. Y. Stuart, chief OF
the Forest Service, received note from the
White House, reading What can be done to
plant the Great American Desert? r. D. r.
Mr.. Roosevelt envisioned a belt of trees from
the Canadian border to the Gulf, of about
20o-mile width. This was narrowed down
to 100 miles. 1t was proposed to plant trees
in a box-like arrangement following the
boundary lines OF Great Plains townships.
Completed plans we're sent to the White
House where they remained until the early
summer of 1884 Meanwhile, rain deficiency
