Ballow's analysis of the esti- mates for school building development as they reached Congress wirks out to a showing of only $335.000 for the actual extension of the construction plans. This is disappointingly be the figure of general expectation ar below the figure of urgent actual n The total of the school board estim for schoolhouse construction and the purchase of additional land was % 406.500.

In the board's estimates §1.600.- | 600 fell under the head of continuing | woark, and from -this a reduction of $20,000 was made. The main reduc- ‘tions in the estimates; however. lay in new construction in addition to those already authorized. If but $336,000 is to be allowed fo- continuing the new biilding develop- ment the District will practically come to a standstill in the process of school equipment. A reduction from 000.- 000, which w: fixed upon the as proper amount of annual appropria- tion for additional construction, to $336,000 would pu. the District bacl virtually to its old basis of inadequate yearly enlargements, with a new ac- cumulation of arrears. The present proplem of ‘school ac- commodation has resulted from just such a policy of inadéquate new-build- ing provisions in the past. If four more buildings were needed, two per-§ anted, maybe only one. and ason to season the congestion continued—school building were more closely crowded, classrooms were con- gested, the number of pupils to teacher increased and finally half-day and platoon-system devices were made nec- essary to give the children any de- gree of instruction. Only by settling definitely upon a series of regular annual liberal appro- priations for new schools, while con- tinuing all formerly authorized works, can the District’s school equipment be brought up to need. Even with five years of successive appropriations on this basis the arrears cannot be fully absorbed. Nobody - caf “foretell accu- rately the growth .of the capital city. Actuarial computations may give a basis of estimation, but.at best these prognoses are only ‘hazards, which usually are below rather than above . the mark ‘of results. OI\‘e of the:chief faults of the treatment of the schools “in the past has been the failure to pro- vide for probable popujation- growth. Woer In the light of-thepast it is pro- posed to build systematieally, and the estimates as they reach Congress most distinctly do not carry out this plan. Restoration of the item of $2,000,000 for additional new :buildings is re- quirea 1f the schools of the capital are ever to be rescued from their choking, eficiency-destroying cengestion. The President as Referee. Tt we may believe talk, the Presi- dent will not be in recess during the Tholidays. His daily grind will go on. 1t may be harder, indeed, than usual. The situation is like this: Republican factionism in ‘Congress is not out of hand, but threatens to become so. In both House and Senate are tart bicker- | ings. Nor are they confined to one or two subjects. Nearly every subject with which Congress is expected to | deal at the present session shows widely different opinions about what should be done. P This calls for the services: of a referee; and if the warring factions have their way the President Wwill be saddled with the burdens and em- barrassments of that role. And now is the time, if the thing can be done, for the bickerers to “get | in their work.” With Congress in re- cess, the members, both senators and representatives, can concentrate on the White House and lay their trou- bles before the man supposed to have “4in stock, ready for use, solutions for all kinds and degrees of problems. The session will begin in good earnest January. 3, and grow in inter- est and intensity until the end. And whether that end is to be early or * 1ate depends on what is put up to the President and the success with which he deals with it. There is party risk in this course. 1f the President is drawn too deeply into factionism ‘he will inevitably be injured, and if he is injured the party suffers also. And November is only .eleven months away, when the extent of the injury, if injury is inflicted, _will appear. ——————————————— His personal absence. from the con- mind from being on the proceedings. ‘ —————— The World Will Come Back. Lord Lee, first lord of the British admiralty, and a delegate to the arma- ‘ment conference, said in an address at the reception tendered him and Lady Zee by the Southern Society of Wash- ington: > 3 “Let us hope that antnosities and hatreds and suspicions between na- tions will disappear as they have be- tween the north and south, and. the same spirit that unites the once sep- arated United 'States may prevail throughout all the civilized peoples of ‘the Farth.” . - An excellent hope, in ehould foin.... . . ; It will not be as easy, however, for the nations recently at war to “forget 14t and come together-for the commoy which all| pm»lmflmqpfl to be for the two sections of the Union which clashed in arms in 1861 and re- mained locked in combat for four years. That struggle was extremely bitter and destructive while it lasted. But it |was a family row. The contending sections had ,never before been 'um-mi»s. They had much in common, and each had many reasons for put- ting a high valuation on the other. h had put such a valuation on the other. So that when the war ended, with {the institution that had caused it— | African slavery—abolished, there was good and easy ground for reunion and the revival of old ties of appreciation. The two sections naturally came to- gether. But there were men of eminence, Inorth and south, who for awhile {thought a. workable and sincere re- vival of good feeling impossible, and cared that the two sections would be zzers drawn again in no time. | Stll, as different as is the world | situation of to ad history te small advantage, or clse read no {history at all, who is filled with de- pair as he contemplates the future. ’Th\‘ world is as ain to come. ba jas did the American Union half a cen- tury —————— The Soviet and the Explosion. h the receipt in this country of 1 report of the Department Wi Lindenfeld for ty in the Wall street bomb of September 0. come res that point definitely to this as the direct accredited agent in United States not only of the the third inte nale at Moscow, but of Leon Trotsky, Russian minister of L and, it is believed. chief propa- candist. for soviet government. It is [ not especially important whether Lin- denfeld or another was at the time of the explosion or later the agent of Trotsky and of the third internation- ale in this country. The point of chief interest is that such an agent was {iere. A man named Lingdren. who is {now under indictment in New York ng trial on a charge of criminal chy—despite which fact he recent- v ran for mayor of New York—de- clares that Lindenfeld, or Linde as he was known here, was not such agent. But he admits that there was agent. in New York organizing representative of the Moscow an group: tion of the soviet govern- ment of Russia with the murderous radicalism of American extremist Jups cannot be too plainly demon- ted to the people of this country. Th- horrible crime of September 16. 1920, is to be ascribed to the Russian i soviet plotters seeking to throw the United States into a state of terror, leading to class revolution. The policy at Moscow is to destroy not only there but in other lands, to sweep away the foundations of government as they exist. This country has been an invit- ing field, Many thousands of Russian radicals have lived here for years. Numbers have kept up direct com- munications with the soviet. Trotsky himself left here to take part in the revolution of 1917. It is probably Trot- sky’s dream today to turn this country into a shambles of sovietism even as he has helped turn Russia into a str sickening field of slaughter and starva- ! tion. But the bomb explosion blew away the clouds under which these schemers were working, and now re- mains merely the task of finding the immediate agents and punishing them if the law can reach them. The Majority and the Quorum. The joke is on the republicans of the House. They control that body by an | overwhelming majority, and cught ¢ be at all times masters of the situa- tion. But they were caught napging yesterday, outmaneuvered by the minority, and forced to capitulate on a measure which was under discussion by the decree of the rules committee. On a demand to furnish a quorum for the anti-lynching bill they were unable to do it. -Industrious bailifts sentees, but they failed to produce a sufficient number, and the blockade continued. And so the bill to which { the minority was objecting was forced | over until after the holiday recess. This experience coming early in the session will have its value if it teaches the majority a lesson. Beginning in January, politics will be played to the {1imit to the end of the session. The { republicans being responsible for busi- ness on Capitol Hill should hold them- selves prepared to do business every day and all day. A quorum should be | present or within easy reach whenever a measure of moment is in hand. One of the influences of a top-heavy majority is the encouragement it gives to absenteeism. Members' do not feel the importance of prompt and regular attendance on sessions. This man, that man, and the other man yield too | readily to inducements to put private affairs above public affairs in a per- suasive feeling that they can easily be spared. And so a quorum disap- pears and. the minority takes charge. ! This is neither good politics nor good management. —_———————— French taxpayers have always been enthusiastically devoted to the army, but may require a little time to think over a proposition to commit them to the support of a big navy. : —————————— The German ex-kaiser, while disin- clined to avoid personal responsibility for the war, cannot deny that he would have been a leading beneficiary in the event of Teutonic success. ——————— About the only thing now being said in favor of old John Barleycorn is that he was a liberal taxpayer. —— e Nobody Wants Them. Goldman, Berkman and Shapifo, that precious trio of former near- Americans of undesirable strain, sent some time ago to Russia against their will, are now at Riga, in Latvia, seek- ing- somewhere to go. They do not care much where it is, 8o long as it is away from Russia. They have had their . fill of the frenzied fatherland.

They can go there. And Latvia has sent them “P. P. C.” cards, good for three days. This is, indeed, a difficult situation, especially for such enthusiasts as Emma and Alexander, who, when they left these shores for Russia, at the urgent invitation of the American gov- ernment, greatly rejoiced that they were returning to ci ation. True, | they protested against their deporta- tion. They were being outraged by ‘dvniul of the right of regidence in this {country, so sorely in need of their nistrations and guidance. But they went. Would it not pay the allied na- tions to find a place somewhere, say an island of few native inhabitants, who could be humanely and perhaps | advantageously removed to make room I for all these derelicts and malcontents of all lands who, not content with their own. want to make trouble with other governments? Let them found a state there under international pro- tection against interference. Let them thave absolute freedom of action, save 1 that of departure. Perhaps this is the slve this bothersome question— most effectively and consider- HE Netherlands, in selecting its delegation to the Wash- ington conference, has given particular attention to finding able men and at the same time men who are familiar in the extreme with conditions in the far east, where the Netherlands possesses a veritable em- pire, so vast are its colonies. It has been estimated that these colonies contaln a population of 40,000,000 souls. Besides Dr. van Karnebeek, head of the delegation and minister of foreign affairs, it has sent to Washington Jonkheer Frans Bee- aerts van Blokland and Dr. E. Moresco. Jonkheer Beelaerts van Blokland was born at The Hague in 1871 and has just turned the _half-century mark. He is typlcally Dutch in ap- pearance. {e is tall, stout, bald, rather square-headed, h ruddy complexion—in fact, he has the phy’ sical characteristics with which the Dutch h: man is usually pictured.

The vacancy in the tenth Virginia Congress district occasioned by the death of Mr. Flood is stirring the ambition of a number of men there. The democratic nomination is equivalent to election. Mr. Flood was an able man, and served his constituents with distinc- tion. The district owes it to his mem- ory to choose a man of his quality as his successor. It a good sign when a seat in Congress is sought by those who by character and ability are associable with it. The rewards of private life are so many and so enticing these days, those of public life are often passed up. But a seat in Congress at this time makes a particularly strong appeal. A new order is In the shaping. New questions are presented to legislators, and must be dealt with. Our affairs are being adjusted to conditions creat- ed by the war. There is urge in every- thing. The Old Dominion has always shown a strong leaning to politics. She has always gone in for the game vigorously. - She has always had in commission at home and elsewhere men competent for public business. Some of the brightest names in con- gressional history are names of Vir- ginians. Ohio has forged to the front, and become the later mother of Presidents.

Journal-Gazette (democratic) calls “one of the most important and far-reaching in mat- ters affecting labor in recent years."” The Supreme Court decides that strikers may station *“missionaries” at the doors of industrial establish- ments, to persuade strikebreakers not to work. But they may not resort to violence or threats, nor even sta- tion so many pickets that the non- striking worker is intimidated by their numbers. The declsion says: “In going to and from work men | have a right to as free a passage | without obstruction as the streets afford, consistent with the right of others to enjoy the same privilese. We are a social people, and the ace costing by one of another in an inof- fensive way and an offer by the one to communicate and discuss infor- mation with a view to influencing the other’s action are not regarded as aggression or a violation of that other's rights. If, however, the offer is declined, as it may rightfully be then importunity and dogging be- come unjustifiable and obstruction which is likely to savor of intimida- tion.

The one bad spot in the industrial situation, so reports from Washing- ton show, is the failure of agricul- ture to recover. The plight of the farmers does not grow better. This is essentially a true bill, although con- ditions have eased a bit since last year, as shown by the reduction in ioans of country banks. It is a fact that the purchasing power of the farmer, representing nearly half of the purchasing power of the country, is cut to pleces, and the effect is felt everywhere. the farmer cannot buy, the manufacturer cannot sell and he cannot give men Christmas Cares.

More About the Allied Debts. America is willing to discuss the Europe owes her, but not with the idea of abandoning them. She may be willing to grant all the possible facili- ties with regard to payment, but she insists that they must be paid. Any one who believes that because the contemplated reduction in th» naval armament of the United States would to save money on her yearly expenses, and that for this reason she would be willing to overlook part of Europe's debts, is greatly mistaken. Not only has the idea never been cxpresscd by the Harding administration. but neither has it ever been thought of. onsidering the conference as far as it has progressed we are led to believe that the really important Eu- ropean problems will be left for dis- cossion at the very end or that they will not be discussed at all.
