Editorial Correspondence
WASHINGTON, D. C, October 5. Senators love to talk.
If they didn't they wouldn't be senators.
But even so, talking for three or four weeks straight on one
subject, seems to be the limit of something or other. Probably
the senate can stand it, but we can't. We have had 72 hours
of it, but today took a vacation and visited the zoo.
If there is a larger or better zoo in the world we haven't
seen it. This goes both for surroundings and exhibits. Talk
about snakes! Never have we seen such a collection of reptiles
of all sizes, colors and description, half of them we had never
seen or even heard of before. And some of them very beautiful,
really, gorgeous colors, rare grace. However we were glad a
thick pane of glass separated ns. It was just before feeding
time for the pythons and one of them eyed us with what seemed
to be more than a speculative interest. whether ns a probable
keeper with food or a prospective meal, we couldn't determine
exa.ctly.
The zoo Is huge and in a natural state, trees and brooks
and wooded hills and dales. The bird cage is nearly as large
as the Medford Natatorium. Has a tremendous elm tree, entirely
inside the wire netting.
It was feeding time there. We were fascinated by a small,
rather scraggly bird, which grabbed a fish as large as itself
and tried without success to swallow it. It would get set for
the engorging process when some other bird noticing its diffi
culties would try to grab the tidbit and all progress that had
been made would be lost. This went on for at least ten minutes.
Finally the fool bird got wise
one of the trees, where the pelicans at least couldn t follow.
When we left, at least 15 minutes later, the fish was only
half way down. Apparently some birds eat like snakes, come
to think of it, the bird developed from a snake didn't itt or
was it tother way round!
It was a relief to find the Zoo restaurant where one could
sit down and take the weight off the feet. The second world
series game was being broadcast, and as we entered the Yankees
proceeded to make three runs with two down and the score 0 to
0. We have always thought we would never miss a world series if
we ever got within striking distance, but we wouldn't travel
a mile to see the Yankees walk all over the opposition, as it
has been doing in recent years. Competition is not only the life
of trade but the life of SPORT. As we see it the unbeatable
Yanks are killing the sport of baseball.
....
We never cease to marvel at the Washington taxis! One
can travel anywhere in the city proper for 20 cents, while
from our hotel to the zoo, at least four miles, the charge was
only forty. The rate is based not on mileage but on zones,
there are four zones, 20, 40, 60 and 80 cents. Have never
tackled the 80-cent zone, it must reach to the battle of Bull
Run at least.
And here is the business moral, the taxi drivers of Wash
ington are the most prosperous in the country, we have the
word of our favorite driver with the gold-rimmed specs, to
support the statement.
It s the old story of low price and mass production, small
individual profit but big turnover.
As "(Joggles explained it,
spend most of their time at the curb, here we no sooner drop
one fare than we get another. And it's the low price that does
it. With a ten-cent street car fare, and the cars full of niggers
everybody rides in taxis."
After being in the Solid South one can understand why
Washington, D. C, is regarded as the colored man's Paradise.
There are about 250,000 of them here, and there are no restric
tions or discriminations, they are granted every privilege the
white man has, go everywhere, do everything, from the poorest
tenement districts up to and including the White House.
And there is little if any of that colored deference one meets
below the Mason and Dixon line, in fact we should say colored
manners as a whole in this man's town, are rathor poor. The
colored people no doubt realize that in the capital of a country
that is based upon equality, equality CAN'T, as it is in the
South, be denied.
We sat in the press gallery of the Senate yesterday and
listened to the arms embargo debate for four and one-half
solid hours!
Senator Connally, slick, sleek, unctuous table thumper from
Texas represented the administration; Senator Vandenberg of
Michigan, who grows his hair long on one side so he can cover
his bald spot, represented the Republican opposition.
Oh yes we know, politics has been adjourned for the dura
tion of the war, there is no partisanship whatever in this arms
embargo fight !
That's the window dressing. But no one can wander around
the halls of congress, and listen to the show in the main arena
and fail to observe, there is not only partisanship there is
bitter partisanship. All the Republicans are not opposing the
President's program, and all the Democrats are not favoring
it, but that condition has existed to a greater or less extent for
at least, two years. One had only to see the Democrats swarm
about Connally in vociferous congratulation after his speech;
and the Republicans do likewise with Vandenberg, and realize
that while party lines on this issue have been broken, there is
plenty of active partisanship left over, thank von, PLENTY !
of it!
Both speeches were too Ion:.', but Vandenbere had all the
better of it. In the first place he didu't wander all over the
District of Columbia and into t lie lowlands of Pennsylvania, he
wrote his speech, ami while ns a newspaperman he should have
liberally blue-pencilled the repetitious portions, the man can't
be blamed probably, seeing it's a couple of decades since he
engaged in a profession which has some regard for unity, mass
and coherence.
As for the latter, the Texas
me nana pninted sola pillow. lie scorned any manuscript, and
ns a result completely cont indicted himself several times, and
forgot entirely what he was talking about several other times.
But nothing fazed the old hoy, he was resourceful if he
wasn't convincing. When he lost his chain of thought he would
make another pass at Senator Tydings, who sat next to him,
and launch into what we suspect is one of his favorite cam
paign speeches, an impassioned indictment of the horrors of
war, and the ineffable beauties of pence. (We don't know how
Tydings stands on this arms embargo but he wasn't a very great
help to his colleague ns far as the general impression on the
gallery was concerned. For the more violent Texas Tom
became, the more difficulty Tydings had to keep his face
straight, in fact several times he laughed outright. and as
he closed his eyes at one time and Connally waved his arms
wildly in the air, nearly got a crack in the jaw ns a consequence.
. . .
Connally, incidentally, showed up one very serious weakness
in the cash and enrry argument. Tliev can't be, or at lenst
to date they HAVKN'T been entirely frank and outright.
The Texas senator, for example, was interrupted by Senator
Sheridan Downey of California (the ham and eggs proponent)
with this question: "Would you support this measure with the
same force and earnestness if it aided Ormnnyf
Now the answer to that of course would' lie "NO." But
Senator Connally, instead of answering truthfully, took refuge
in the rather absurd contention that such :t question was an
insult, and proceeded to castigate the "Freshman" senator for
asking it, and then before lie could reply quickly changed
the subject.
Well that doesn't help th.

represent a serious threat to democracy, and if victorious, would
make the world a pretty difficult place for any democracy to
live in.
In other words, this country isn't neutral as far as the
present conflict is concerned, and there is no point in trying to
pretend otherwise. The entire strength of public opinion be
hind this cash and carry proposal is due to the fact, that the
American people practically without exception want Hitler
beaten, and want to do everything, short of war, to aid in that
direction.
But Senator Connally, like Senator Pittman of Nevada be
fore him, tried to keep up the silly pretense that those favorini'
the cash and carry proposal are not only neutral, but MOR1'
NEl'TRAL than the opponents of the measure even though
neither they nor anyone else believe it. (Of course an argiimen:
can be made for a purely TECHNICAL) neutrality but as Borah
pointed out the circumstances destroy it.)
0 . .
And this sort of thing weakens any argument, impairs any
cause. In the opinion of this column those who believe in the
cash-and-carry proposal, do so because they believe in this
country giving material aid to the democracies' in their effort
to defeat Hitler. We fail to see what the proponents gain,
by refusing to acknowledge such a patent fact. In fact it places
them in the rather ridiculous position of refusing to acknow
ledge a condition, without which they wouldn't be able to get
any MATERIAL support in this country, whatever 1 R.W.R.

necessary to sustain life and growth
If used as the sole protein In the

la good food and may be Included
advantageously In the diet of many
Invalids or well persons, for Instance
In the diet of the diabetic patient.
Use of gelatin for making desserts
Is rather a healthful practice, not
only because the dessert Itself Is
wholesome but because It makes a
good substitute for various powerful
sugar concoctions which are so much
superfluous carbohydrate for most
sedentary adults. And boy. you had
better get out of my way which I
get wind of the fact that a fresh
mix of chocolate orange gelatin is
ready In the refrigerator It beats
the factory product out of the pic
ture altogether.
PhyslcUns are not as yet agreed
on the value of gelatin In the diet
of the patient with peptic ulcer.
No one objects to it, but many
doubt that it has definite remedial
value. So the addition of gelatin
to the diet remains a question for
tne ulcer patient to try for himself
and see.
It has been proposed that gelatin
should be added to the milk for
Infant feeding. I'm pretty dumb
about some of the collegiate stuff
they're working Into medicine nowa
days and I don't quite get it. but
they do Insist that gelatin "iowers

I ask. and the answer ts. If you've
been worried much about curd ten

your chance to lower it without do
ing any great harm to the baby so
far as we know at present. If "curd
tension" means tough curds, perhaps
the simplest way to deal with the
trouble U by giving the baby some
oatmeal water or barley water mixed
with his milk. But don't mind me.
As I say. I'm Just a plodding old

I don't know about curd tension

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7. As the
war will probably last at least long
enough to reduce the world economy
to smoking ruins. It seems tragically
Ironical that high government of
ficials should actually be worrying
about what to do in case of peace.
Their solemn ponderlngs suggest the
labors of the worker ants, which
obstinately add to the ant hill's food
stores while Its Innermost chambers
crumble under the entomologist's
spade.
Nevertheless, the talk goes on,
starting always with the assumption
that an early peace would Initiate
a sharp business recession tn this
country. The reasons are plain
enough, and agreed on by all groups.
Inventories are swollen. Large fac
tory orders have been given In ex
pectation of a wartime boom. Even
the housewives have been laying
In un needed stocks, anticipating
wartime price rises. If peace should
come, the whole country would suf
fer from something like the hor
ribly named "peace scares' which
already afflict the stock market.
What makes the talk of possible
peace steps all the more horribly
reminiscent of the ants Is that each
group within the government has
reacted In the same old way, as
though by a fore-ordalned auto
matism. The new dealers, for example, have
their usual panacea lavish govern
ment spending on a broad front,
For them, spending has long occu
pied the position of castor oil In
the old-fashioned matriarch's medi
cine chest. They take It for granted
that spending will cure any of the
nation's Ills, but, as . they know
spending is unpalatable to congress,
they are always trying new ways
of making It go down pleasantly,
Just as the matriarch was always
offering her nasty dose in grape
Juice, or lemon Juice, or with salt.
or In some other clever way. This
time, the new deal group's choice
Is made easy. The war abroad has
dramatized the need for national
defense. Their program of peacetime
spending calls for a great rearma
ment effortt
A two-ocean navy, to build which
new shipyards would also have to
be built, Is the first item on their
list. Large expenditures for anti
aircraft defense: an Important In
crease In the air force; improve
ment of the railroads and the na
tional power system; an Increase
in the army's enlisted personnal
all these are project under conider
atlon. As the urge to spend is still
strong, these projects may also be
pushed as war measures If peace
measures do not prove necessary.
Then, at the treasury. Secretary
Henry Morgenthau, Jr., who has a
passion for general consultation
rather than a panacea, has called
his aides to conference. So serious
does he consider the question of
what to do If peace comes that he
has actually commissioned two dif
ferent groups to give their best
thought to it. One Is composed of
the rather conservative economic ad
visers. Wlnfleld W. Rlefler. Jacob
Vlner. and Walter W. Stewart, whom
he recently brought down to help
in the war emergency. The other,
headed by the treasury's able econo
mist, Harry D. White, Includes most
of the permanent officials. Each
group Is expected to check the other's
findings.
Neither group has reported as yet.
but their work is leading up to
recommendations of three broad,
alternative policies. The first, for
which only one or two treasury voices
are likely to speak. Is governmental
spending of a more productive sort
than the new dealers' armament
program.
The second Is the application of
temporary economic palliatives, such
as several months of increased WPA
work, special efforts on the gov
ernment lending front, and the like.
And the third is a do-nothing policy.
The do-nothing policy is based on
the theory that. If peace comes, the
expected recession will be short and
followed by a return of the pros
perous trend which was manifesting
itself in the month or so before
the war. Except among the smsll
spendlng fsctlon. this theory Is
widely held at the treasury.
Thus, very strangely, the same 1
voices reiterate the same sugges-
tions and make the same arguments
which have been heard in Washing
ton almost since the new deal be
gan. If peace should come soon
) which would vastly surprise the
experts in the foreign field), then
the talk and the worrying may have
a useful result. At any rate, it
probably serves to keep "the econo
mists' minds off what will happen
If the war Is greatly prolonged.

By 1HANK Jfc.SklNs
HITLER has made his offer of
peace as Is or war to the knife.
As these words are written (Friday
evening) no official comment has
come from Britain or Prance, but It
is hard to see how the British and
French answer can be anything but
"nor
Even Mussolini cant see enough
meat on the Hitler proposal's bones
to warrant htm In tsktng the Initia
tive for a peace conference.
HITLER says in effect that Ger
many now has what she wants
In Poland and Intimates that she
doesn't want much else. The Impres
sion sought to be created la that,
having what she wants, aha la pre
pared to be good.
But he la on record as having said
that he didn't want Austria. Then
he went ahead and took It. He la
on record as having said that he
didn't want Czecho-Slovakia. He
went ahead and took It.
When he says now that having
TAKEN POLAND he la ready to talk
real peace, he Isn't in a very good
position to have his words accepted
at face value.
IF Hitler la as smart as his actual
achievements to date Indicate, he
probably had little hope that Britain
and France would accept the peace
offer he outlined to his relchstag.
His speech sounds very much aa If
It were being delivered to the Ger
man people and NOT to his ene
mies. He wants to convince the German
people that he has been right all
810119, and moderate as well, but
that Britain and France (Britain In
particular) are wicked people who
wont listen to reason.
Therefore nothing Is left but to
fight until Britain and Franca are
destroyed as completely as Poland
has been destroyed. People fight bet
ter when they feel they have been
done dirt, and Hitler's purpose ap
pears- to be to convince the German
people that they have been done dirt.
(There Is also an odd note of apol
ogy for his deal with Stalin, which
leads one to suspect that the Rus
sian deal may not have been too
popular among the Germans.)
A NYWAT, the speech has been
made. It didn't seem to strike
