A Business Responsibility

Active participation by the Washington
Board of Trade in this years Community
Chest Federation campaign should
brighten the prospect for success.
The board as whole represents Wash
ington business. Increased participation
in the campaign by Washington business
is essential if the goal is to be reached
That participation can be effected by care
ful organization and the Board of Trade,
under President Leon Chatelain, is help
ing to perfect it.
The weakest spot in our community re-
sponse to the Chest campaign is repre-
sented in the fact that only 80 per cent
of the 100000 business employees OF the city
contributed last year. There were, OF
course, many individual exceptions. A
substantial number of firms have shown
a participation by employees OF 70 per cent
and above. But the effectiveness OF such
excellent showings has been reduced by
the neglect of many other firms to particl-
pate at all.
1t is essential that this difficulty be over
come If a disgraceful failure is to be
avoided. 1t can be overcome by proper or
ganization within the city's business COM
munity Firms that will set up systems
for installment giving by their employees,
through payroll deductions, will more than
double the size of previous contributions
made on q cash basis One days take
home pay, broken up in eight installments
of one hours pay per employe, would more
than make the goal If all employees con-
tributed. And If the heads of business
firms will provide the method Of contribut-
ing and help bring the situation before
their employees, the SO per cent participa-
ton of the past will be increased enor-
mously.
A serious failure in this years campaign
would be edisgraceful in Washington 1t
could mean the disruption of the United
Community Services and breakdown In
hospital and welfare work financing that
would be disastrous. Washington business
would be one of the main sufferers, hold
ing the bag in a return to chaotic, unor-
ganized appeals. But with full participa-
ton by the business community there will
be no need to contemplate failure.

that sort OF thing could take lot OF

permanent riddance to grave afilictions
like war would, of course, be wonderful,
absolute perfection is thing to be re-
garded with some reservation. Being i'm
perfect ourselves, we probably are fortu-
nate we can do no more than pursue 1t.
If we got hold of it, we might find it

A Hawthorne Find?

Dispatches from Pittsfeld, Massachu-
sets, tell OF the discovery OF book OF
short stories which may have been written
by Nathaniel Hawthorne and which on
that account may be a literary find OF
considerable Importance. The volume, 1t
has been explained, was located in
private library "up for sale" 1t now is in
the hands of Samuel T. Sukel, an amateur
collector of Americana. The subtitle sug-
gests that all of the fourteen narratives
included in the book were produced by
"the Author of Peter Farley" which pen
name Is known to have been used by
Hawthorne repeatedly in his apprentice
days.
Evidence pieced together by Carl Van
Doren and other biographers indicates
that the future Salem Shakespeare began
to write seriously about 1925, when he was
twenty-one years of age. His original
materials were things and people he had
seen and personally known. He called
his first group of stories Seven Tales of
My Native Land" but he was unsuccessful
in his quest for reliable publisher and
is supposed to have destroyed the manu-
scripts. In 1928 he brought out at his own
expense the photographed experiment,
"Fanshawe." Few readers bothered about
this effort, but it did attract the attention
of Samuel Griswold Goodrich, who in 1927
had issued volume entitled "The Tales
of Peter Farley About America" This
premier Farley venture was followed by
many different works in which "a kindly
and omniscient old gentleman is repre-
sented as talking to a group of priggishly
inquiring children" instructing them with
"a thin sugar coating of fiction"
Some of these books actually may have
been Hawthorne's; some of them certainly
were Goodrich's, Which was which is the
problem upon which Mr. Sukel of Pitts
field has stumbled. The debate is not new.
It has been revived in different forms
frequently since Goodrich died in 1850 and
Hawthorne in 1854 The former appar-
emily desired credit for all the Farley series
with regard to authorship. In his Recol-
lections he affirms that he was the editor
of about one hundred and seventy vol
umes" and that he planned and put in
nnal shape the whole series But one of
Goodrich's assistants, Samuel Kettell, in
sisted that Hawthorne was in fact "the
real Peter Parley.'
Perhaps the style of the book Mr.. Sukel
has found may provide clue to the solu-
ton of the mystery. The average sentence
in "The Scarlet Letter" THE Marble
Faun," "The House of Seven Gables" and
other unchallenged fruits OF the Salem
sage's pen runs to thirty words. II this

Utopio Could Be Boring

In taking over his new post as psychia-
trio consultant to the staff Of the United
Nations, DR.. Carl F. Sulzberger OF New
York has made the sensible observation
that cts neurotic to want Utopia" At
first glance, such view may seem to some
people to be gross and reactionary exag-
geration, but little study of it will show
otherwise For the simple fact is that the
Utopian dream Is no more within reach
of mortal and fallible man than is good
life on the moon. It can be approached
but never caught up with; like the attain
ment OF perfection itself, it is impossible
in the human scheme of things.
Actually, even If it were possible, the
chances are that Utopia would bore us
stiff Worse, slowly but surely, it might
make the human race so fiabby and 50
decadent from easy living that the busy
hard-working bugs might come one day
to inherit the earth. At any rate, given
complete Utopian perfection, bipeds would
have everything they wanted; they would
be surfeited with good things; they would
have no cares; they would not have to
labor in the sweat of their brows; they
would lack nothing; and all of sudden
they probably would find existence getting
to be decidedly dull. This is so for the
reason that their boundlesS possessions
and perfect environment would give them
jaded appetites; not having to strive for
a yacht or for money to pay bills, and be-
ing in society without struggle or shock,
they would have such an abundance of
pleasure that they would get no real kick
out of it. The thing, in short, could be-
come excruciatingly tiresome and it could
have such a softening effect on humans
that they might be overwhelmed eventu-
ally by the lower animals
Accordingly, as DR.. Sulzberger has said,
it is certainly neurotic for anybody to want
thorough going Utopia. Men and women
might easily 60 crazy in such world. We
are not equipped, emotionally or other
wise, to put up with perfect ease or perfect
happiness. In the grand design of exist
ence, life seems deliberately calculated to
be anything but bowl of cherries. Con-
trasts are needed. What would 1t mean to
be good If there were no evil? II it were

The Doctors Dilemma

An editorial writer in this months Medi-
cal Annals of the District of Columbia, the
medical society's publication, devotes a
few paragraphs to medicines dilemma" :"
On the political side it is represented in the
fact that President Truman and Cover
nor Earl Warren believe in compulsory
health insurance. On the other hand,
Governor Dewey has said that: "Compul-
sorry socialized medicine is no good" There
is an ominous note to the editorial
writer's question, will Governor Dewey
remain unaffected by the views Of his run
ming mate?"
But there is another complication. The
President and Governor Warren say they
are against socialized medicine. That puts
them with Governor Dewey. And If Gov
ernor Dewey should say that he favors
some form of compulsory sickness insur-
ance, then he would be at one with Presi-
dent Truman and Governor Warren.
That is the nature of the dilemma. What,
precisely, is socialized medicine? At pres
ent it is a term that sends most doctors in
to tantrums, for to them socialized medi-
cine means system under which the Gov
Cl Wou1u tllC uOCJOIS dU0 hSSuiIlC
responsibility for curing the physical all
ments of its citizens. President Truman,
Governor Warren and the Federal Secu-
rity Administration say that compulsory
sickness insurance is not socialized medi-
cine. Yet compulsory sickness insurance
is condemned by many medical men be-
cause they say it is socialized medicine.
The disagreement goes deeper, Of course,
than a mere quarrel over terms. But it
would be helpful, rs the editorial writer in
the Medical Annals suggests, If the ply
sicians themselves made an objective and
a discriminating approach to the subject
of socialized medicine, defined the term
as they use it and state not only what they
are against but why they are against 1t,
what they approve and why they approve
1t. That would be common sense and 1t
Is encouraging to see the medical soeietys
magazine advertising it. For If the doctors
do not undertake some such approach the
layman, finding that "socialized medi-
cine" means a system under which he
may be able to insure himself under Gov
ernment auspices against the financial
catastrophe of modern disqualification and
illness, Is very apt to be in favor of $50

doctors may have to say about It,

develops patterns of expression which are

Remembrance of Bird Migrations

Remembrance of Bird Migrations
To the Editor Of The Star:
The Empire State Building catastrophe re-
counted In The Star easily can be understood
by one who has seen such flight OF birds ut
close quarters. The birds seem driven forward
by q tremendous urge.
On = late summer day stood in my garden
In Annapolis and heard . faint chittering OF
birds. Looking far in the northeast, I saw
what appeared to be small faint gray cloud
From It came the noise. While I gazed fas-
cinated, 1t approached at high speed, increas-
ing In size, the loud anxious cheeping OF bros
increasing In volume. Then the mass migration
swept 30 low overhead, I seemed to see their
Thousands Of eyes. Their leader flew ahead
closely followed by neutenants; and on the
fianks, doing stunts in flight, new at regular
intervals birds alone.
They were black, the sheen on tnelr wings
visible. Nying In close order, their noise was
incessant and about the whole movement tnefe
was an air OF urgency and power Wonoef1"
to behold.
Following came stragglers, flying silently and
swiftly. The course Of the birds was 70 tne
southwest. :,
At another time, in 1873, in washington, I
~ fight Of geese. As sat IN the w1oe
frame Of the window in my nursery, my feet
in the cutter over the wide cornice OF house
on vermont avenue loud CHATTER alarmed me.
Looking up. saw overhead the triangle OF
wild-goodse fight. and their great yellow feet,
their heavy bodies. their long outstretched
necks and clattering bills terrified me. barely
escaped falling, as they seemed 80 near.
They too had the same air OF furious emer-
sency and they followed their leader perfectly.
A sight never to be forgotten either time
