Mr. Harding's request for the sim picst possible inguguration will be complied with strictly. The congres: sional committee in charge of the pro- wram has decided that with the ap- proval of the President-elect the oath of office will be administered if the Sonate chamber, with no outdoor cere- monios whatever. In accordance with this plan. orders for the erection of a creat stand at the east front of the ol have been canceled. The citi- inaugural committee, while tak- o formal action, has suspended a'l aetivity, and will probably merely close up accounts and return the guar-| anice fund to the donors. “In accorgdance with these decisions, which were rendered imperative by the request from Marion, the inaugu- ration March 4 will be the simplest in the history of the country. There will be no ceremonial outside of the ad- inistration of the oath and the de- livery of the address within the Sen- ate chamber, which cin accommodate at best only about 1,000 people, about half of whom will be the members of mo.. 250 the two houses of Congress. There will be nothing in this pro- gram to attract to Washington any of the people from the states who other- wise would flock here in great num- bers to be present on the occasion. This is the principal misfortune of the change of plan. For thousands of Americans will miss the opportun- ity and occasion to visit the capital afforded by the inauguration, with- out which they seldom make the jour- ney. In these days of easy travel it is highly desirable that the people should come to the seat of government and realize the fact of the national organi- zation by direct view and contact. An inauguration ceremonial is a decided inspiration, giving a patriotic impulse to a multitude of the people. It is to he regretted that there will be no such manifestation this year here as to bring, perhaps. 100,000 to Washing- ton who otherwise would not come. Plans are proposed for & demonstra- tlon of local rejoicing and hondr for the new President on the 4th of March. It is to be doubted if there will be a fitting opportunity to en- able the people of the District on that occasion to attest to their interest in and enthusiasm for the new chief executive by any special program. They will be present on Inauguration day in immense numbers as he passes to and from the Capitol. They will cheer him and greet him with signs of affection and respect. Probably they will decorate their homes and places of business. There is no inhibition against such individual expressions. ‘Washington will not be altogether without outward signs of recognition that March 4 is different from the other days in the calendar. The Scrappy Naval Balloomsts. ‘The returning naval balloonists are in rough weather, even when back within touch of home. They are dis- plaving asperities toward one ;molherl that mar somewhat their spiendid record of heroic conduct and courage. ©One of them. it seems, wrote a letter which reached New York and was pub- lished, giving a dramatic account of one of the three to sacrifice himself that the others might live. At rail- head this publication was made known to the three and a “scrap” occurred, with harsh language and some use of fists. So the naval court of inquiry into the balloon voyage will have some lively incidents to examine. It is for- tunate that the comradeship that was lendidly displayed during the ture in the frozen north should marred by this manifestation of rlousy. Still the most important cstion remaining to be answered in nection with the affair is why the on was sent forth and by whase ‘The public is more interested ; to know the reason for this enter-| . undertaken in the face of ofll‘ ! warnings by the weather bureau } at conditions were unpropitious for| any sort of balloon work. - ——————t————— orders. ‘The old question, “Why is an elec- toral college?’ continues to create more or less agitation in circles of ical research eyery four ‘vears. —————— 1t is impossible to hope that all the | cabinet possibilities mentioned in | Marion will retain their eligibility in ‘Washington, D.

The country stands in need of it. Prog- ®ess is the word. We must go forward. "Taking the back track would be quite impossible. The war has produced so uany changes, progress is fmperative.

How rapid- r “, S | demacratic Governor 191€, { Trade Commission, appointed by Mr. i wait, H nator Johnson of California says:! 1y shall we go forward? How rapidly can we with safety travel? There is good debdte in the ques. tion, and maybe an abundance of it. However much there may be, let us have all of it. Now is the time, and there is plenty of time. In two months the country will pass into the control of the republican party, which triumphed two months ago by the largest plurality ever cast for a polit- ical party in the United States. It was bull moosery that passed, and with it necessarily the men who had made it. The leader, Mr. Roose- velt, died; but before his death he had returned to the republican party. Mr. Johnson {s now in office as a repub- lican. Josepi Dixon was elected in November Governor of Montana as a republican. Mr. Beveridge, again a republican, is mentioned for return to the Senate. John M. Parker is the of Louisiana, and “Tom" Watson enters the Senate in March as a democrat. Victor Mur- dock, who supported Mr. Wilson in is a member of the Federal Wilson. Bull moosery has passed, and is now but a memory. Truth Out of Russia. | As slowly but surely the truth is coming out of Russia, whatever peril there was to this and other coun- tries in soviet propaganda is steadily diminishing. So long as bolshevism| was presented only as a theory it had its appeal to a certain type of mind. But the more its practical workings are disclosed the more repulsive it becomes. The latest taie of disillusionment comes from Berlin, at which point a Mr. Schwartz, an American socialist and former ardent champion of bol- shevism, has arrived after months of imprisonment by order of the Moscow soviet. 1lis wife,. who accompanied him to Russia to attend the third in- ternationale congress, also was im- prisoned and died as a result of the hardships and privations she endured. “I am going to America,” Mr. Schwartz told the correspondent of the Associated Press, “to tell the working people there the truth about the soviet government, which I for- merly sympathized with thoroughly and supported on the platform from New York to San Francisco.” The truth he intends to tell the American working people is that “Communism in Russia is robberism; it tolerates imprisonment, persecu- tion and execution without trial; it has brought Russia starvation, dis- ease and death. There is no govern- ment. It is a worse autocracy than the czaristic government, and I lived there.for over twenty years under the czar and had the experience neces- sary to make comparisons.” Certainly no more terrific arraign- ment of soviet rule has been made by any of. the “capitalistic agents,” who are accused by Lenin's sympa- thizers in this country with misrepre- senting conditions in Russia. This is teetimony fromifthe inside, for it was “Comrade” Schwartz when he arrived in Russia and he was met by brass bands and cheering crowds. “But I soon found,” he says, “that the shout- ing crowds had to shout or their food ! taken away. I can truthfully say that I never talked with a single person, outside of officlals, who had a good word to say for the soviet govern- ment.” ———— —— Bernstorff is one of the few German officials who have not intimated an intention of writing a book. He might be interesting if he could be frank. Yet he may be excused for not adding the comment of literary reviewers to the criticisms he has al- ready receivéd. —————e Lack of prohibition “has not pre- vented Cuba’s money matters from: becoming much complcated. John Barleycorn never made any reputa- tion as a rellable assistant in finan- cial matters. ———————— Washington is a beautiful city of historic interest worthy of a visit, apart from the popular festivities of an inauguration. ———— The inaugural proceedings did not have to wait for a flareback to ex- perience a slight chill. A Naval Construction Program. A wise decision concerning the pol- lcy of naval building for the imme- diate future is essential to both the security and the economic progress of the United Stats Argument favoring a naval hollday, a recess in the construction programs of the great powers, has strongly inipressed the nation as a whole. It may be safely asserted that. could a hglt be called in the competitive armament race to- morrow and the billions to be expend- ed in piling dreadnaught upon dread- naught, cruiser upon cruiser, cannon and shell upon cannon and shell di- verted to the rehabilitation of a world on the verge of bankruptcy, no man with the welfare of his fellows Qear 1o his heart could but rejoice. simple as the proposition in gutline would appear. there are difficulties to its final achievement which readily suggest themselves. And while we anxiously hopeful that a wa 1o reap the large benefits of the pro- posed naval holiday and still protect every interest of America will be -found, it 18 well to consider the mat- ter of a construction policy ‘should it be found necessary to continue con- struction for a while. ‘There are those prominent in the councils of naval policy who are to- day urging upon the nation the un- revised completion of the ‘“building program of 1916." That program, now five years old, contemplates the development of a surface fleet of capi- tal ships superior to that of any other mation in the world. The light of war experience raises a pertinent' doubt as to'the advisability of such a course. There are those prominent in the naval circles of Germany, Eng- land, Japan and, indeed, of the United States, who have concluded, out of those experiences, that a surface fleet ot capital ships is not the best type of naval power either for offense or de- fense. 1t is pointed out that surface + suffcrings endured and the offer o(lmm or less magnitude attendant on as ,cabinet ducements to tourists; but not to those THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, ships are tremendously expensive, yet very vulnerable, and that an ade- quate submarine Navy will, in the future, enable any nation to pursue offensive or defensive tactics without Although Congress_ Is apparently worry about a surface ficet. agreed that thc War Finance Corpora- What the United States is eager |tion, which it has decided to resuscitate for today is rellef from the excessive | despite the presidential veto of its reso- cost of competition in naval construc- | lution," is the only thing that can save tion provided that relief can be ob-|theé farmer, public opinion. in so far as tained without jeopardizing the na.|the majority of the newspapers express tion's security against external ag. |l thinks quite the contrary.

IHap- pily those theories in themselves promise great relief to a tax-weary people. ————— Counting the Cash. The Treasury is going through its occasional process of counting the cash.
