WASHINGTON CURRENT COMMENTS While President Roosevelt speaks in Chicago against current wars and international lawlessness, a son of Premier Mussolini is said to be serving as air pilot for the insurgent forces in Spain. Poli tics are not involved in the remark that the comparison is odious. Democratic or Republican, the reader of Mr. Roosevelt’s state ments on the subject under discus sion, will admit that wars of con quest deserve condemnation, and that there is sound morality in the policy which forbids one country from going after the scalp of an other, with nothing but national advancement in mind. Although Congress is not in ses sion, isolated groups of individuals here and there express an opinion on matters that concern Congress as a body, and so it happens that the problem of balancing the bud get is being discussed in places where Congressmen congregate most frequently. Notwithstanding cuts, which may not meet with the approval of Congress as a whole, a balanced budget for 1939 seems to be something that cannot be prom ised definitely. As the Chairman of the House Appropriations Com mittee remarks, there are too many things on which one cannot figure in advance. “Where there's a will, there is away” may be a good maxim generally considered, but even the proprietor of a peanut stand knows that his well consider ed system for making ends meet is likely to vanish into thin air in the face of circumstances which he ♦ can neither foresee nor control.

If the United j States has contributed nothing else to civilization, it has at least sup plied base ball. Incidentally, there is some advantage in living in a country where one can take a day off and root at a base ball game, instead of putting in the time per fecting himself in a calling the prospective reward of which is to have his head knocked off by a for eigner. Out in California, Edward Kutt ner dies at the age of eighty. He must have done many things in those four score years, but the pa ! pers recorded only the fact that he was carriage driver for Tom Thumb, a stage celebrity whom none but those past middle age rc !eall in the flesh.
