What Next?
117HILE waiting for Hitler's answer on Friday
to President Roosevelt's appeal, there are
steps being- taken that may modify wha.t he has to
say. .
Public opinion in the United States is helping
make clear that there is no need for war, while the
necessity for economic and political justice on the
one hand, and for a determined stand against ag
gressor nations on the-other, is evident.
President Roosevelt and the war department have
moved to rush a billion-dollar national defense pro
gram and to strengthen the army high command.
Great Britain has called for immediate military
conscription, bringing more than 750,000 men
under arms following Hitler's ridicule of Britain's
ability to defend herself against attack. The empire
is rapidly being placed on a wartime basis with the
manufacture of military equipment and supply. It
is plain that neither the United States, Great Brit
ain, nor France will be caught napping if war must
come, while doing all in their power to avert this
madness.
The answers of the smaller nations menaced by
Hitler to his question as to whether they fear in
vasion are either the "no" of a small boy - to the
bully or the frank answers of Rumania, Belgium
and Switzerland that they do not feel entirely safe.
It is devoutly to be hjDped that these factors may
give pause to any evil designs for which the Fueh-"
rer's neighbors far and near are giving him credit.

The Changing Scene in Washington
H7VERY Spring thousands of visitors flock to the
nation's capital. Then the city is at the height
of its great beauty. Cherry blossoms, budding
trees, beds of Spring flowers give splashes of color
in parks and gardens adorning the stately gran
deur of public buildings.
The scene is constantly changing, not only the
people but the city itself. For Washington is still
in the building, great edifices are rising year by
vear that are making the capital of the United
States-the most beautiful city in the world. The
length of classic Constitution Avenue, the Capitol,
Washington Monument, the Supreme Court Build
ing, the Library of Congress, the White House,
the Art Galleries; farther out, Mount Vernon,
Rock Creek Park, the Cathedralall make every
humble pilgrim proud to belong to this nation.
Because all this beauty belongs to all equally,
fhere is no red tape obstructing visitors. School
V children, Boy and Girl Scouts, conventions, delega
tions, parties from all over pour in and out con
stantly. Sightseers can go practically everywhere.
Not only the buildings, but the President, the Cab
inet, 'the Congress, belong to the public. The atti
tude of the guides is that this is yours, we want
you to see it and enjoy it. Get all the thrill that is
coming to you from seeing the wheels go around.
These guides are. usually kindly men from "back
home" greeting visitors like old friends.
Whatever there may be of storm and struggle
apparent, whatever momentous happenings por
tend, the visitor is reassured with a feeling that
this is ephemeral. The serene beauty of noble build
ings, the smooth machinery of service, typify all
that we would like to be and are not, the peace we
hope for and have not yet. Every actor great and
small is playing his appointed part of this moving,
changing picture against a background of enduring
art. Surely all this can be built only on. the premise
that these monuments to creative genius will en
dure through many millenia of change.

WARNS ABOUT
CABBAGE BUTTERFLIES
Dear Editor:
When a boy I lived in England
and collected butterflies, ' the com
monest of which were the small and
large cabbage butterflies, both of
them with large black markings on
the top of the wings.
When I first came to North Car
olina in . the Highlands-Franklin
section there were none of them,
but in the last few years, in fact
since cabbage growing became a
major industry, they have come in
to being and increased amazingly,
Unless farmers take ereat oains to
kill the caterpillars on .the young
cabbage I am afraid this crop will
be wiped out. .
Probably your farmers know that
the butterflies can be known from
moths by the small club on the end
of the attennae.
Yours sincerely,
R. B. Eskrigge
