The administration has gone thor- oughly into this problem and it is hopeful that thesc two government bodies will be the means of bringing about the desired solution of the en- tire transportation question. When this is accomplished the administra- tion is. satisfied that the agricultural and industrial situation, and, in fact, the general economic situation of the country. will be greatly improved and the ndtion will then have advanced just that far toward its actual return to normalcy. Discussed With Cabinet. The railroad problem in its relation to agriculture and industry again was the foremost subject of discussion at vesterday's mecting of President Harding with his cabinet. Renewed indications of the serious ness of the situation werc surveyed in detail, but there was no decision cither as to an administration policy or as to a plan of action in dealing| with the various interests involved. 1t was indicated that a general con- ference of railway managers, em- ployes and shippers still was a possi- bility, although no such mecting has yet been determined upon. From the first the administration has been reluctant to go over the head of the constituted government agencies creatcd to deal with wage and rate problems, and. it is under- stood, officials here still hope for a solution through those avenues. Information gathered by the Senate ! interstate commerce committee in its! forthcoming inquiry into the railroad ' situation will be coupled with data | i | | i and the Interstate Commerce Com- mission in considering any legislation | or administrative step. i Industry Is Handicapped. | Reports of conditions laid before | the cabinet today indicated that the transportation problem not only was seriously affecting agricultural in- terests, but was greatly handicap- ping industry in general High freight rates on such basic products as food and coal, it was said, wers cutting down production in al- most every business and manufactur- ing establishment, and there were uggestions that in any decisions on rates this situation must be recog- nized by differentials favoring ne- cessities. Another feature of the general in- dustrial condition was brought to President Harding’s attention during the day by a group of senators who asked for liberal aid to farmers by tke farm loan board. They suggested that in view of the transportation and general business situation the board make more liberal rediscount rates on loans to farmers. The Pres- ident is understood to have indicated a deep interest in the suggestion and to_have promised to consider it. Those who were in the group pre- senting the appeal to Mr. Harding included Senators Gooding of idaho, Oddie of Nevada, republicans, and {Senators Smith =f South Carolina, Simmons of North Carolina and Rans. dell of Louisiana, democrats. The Botanic Garden Problem. To the Editor of The Star: There are evidently two very differ- ent ideals in the controversy over the {botanic garden site. One of these, which is probably widely prevalent in the city and perhaps dominant in Congress, is founded upon what the Washington botanic garden has been in the past—a very limited exhibition collection of beautiful and curious i plants at a central station to be vis- ited by citizens and strangers like a i museum. The other ideal is that of a roomy ground where every conceiva- {ble plant can be grown, whether of horticultural or only scientific inter- .1t would include an arboretum as well as a garden in a narrow sense. Trees and shrubs would be shown in groups. according to their natural relationships. Thus there would be a vale of rhododendrons, | like one I have heard of but not seen in Prospect Park, Brooklyn. There would he a magnolia grove. a quer- { cetum (oaks), a salicetum (willows), a pinetum (pines) and many other ctums. There would be systematic groups of great numbers of herba- i ceous plants. There would be glass houses of different temperatures to accommodate different classes of ten- | SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1921—PART 1. SOCIE s C. W.

There might very well be zardens repr ting the styles of different _countries—a Japancse gar- {den. an English, a Dutch. an Italian garden. Besides all this, it would be very desirable to have a piece of na- tive forest and other areas where na- tive plants could grow in a wild state. Such a garden would, of course, be laid out as far as practicable on land- scape principles. Thera should be places for parties to boil their coffee and eat their lunch. Every one sees at once that this plan could not be carried out with any approach to ade- quacy without at le a square mile of land. and twice that would be much betier. Now the present writer is not opposed 1to the provision of one or more small jRardens with greenhouses at central lo- eati . perhaps one net far from the | Zoological ’ark. But the establishment jof sevh could not be regarded as a final soluiion of the problem. The larger ideal will assert itself. This alone would be satisfactory to botanists, and there will continue to be calls for something to match the Kew gardens near London until the want is met. But the longer ! the delay the more difficult will it be to secure a proper site. The Mount Hamil- ton tract is not large enough unless an extensive area lying to the north can be added to it. Botanists, I understand, have given their approval to this choice, but T believe more because it seemed the best that could be hoped for than because it is really satisfactory. Two other areas could easily be suggested which 1 believe would be preferred by a committee of the competent, provided it were instructed to report strictly on merit. Every one will admit that a garden such as has been imperfectly projected above would be a magnificent asset to the National Capital. A niggardly, half- way provision for this want would be most unfortunate. It would not pay in the end. A plea for delay might have some force, were it not that the oppor- tunity is passing. Get the land and de- velop the garden slowly if need be. It could be utilized as a wild park and pre- serve until cultural plans could be car- ried out. EDWARD S.
