It was foreseen ing it, and it has dangerously out- jgrown it. This danger must become { much greater before a supplementary or complementary water supply can be i provided, even though the work were begun now.

For the first time in the world’s history the golden rule has been applied on a large scale to the relationship of nations. In the Wash- ington conference the powers repre-| sented really sought to do unto others as they would have others d> unto | them. It is not tq be understood from this that the conference agreements are perfect to a point beyond ecriticism. No one'government has ever yet at- tained perfection in its own affairs, and not until the millennium arrives can it be expected that the intercourse of nations will be perfected. But in the Washington conference a spirit of fair dealing and generosity prevailed unprecedented in such gatherings. This was mcre marked, possibly, in some nations than in others, but there ‘was no ration represented which did not make cacrifice of things it regard- ed as of vital national interest in order that the vital interests of others might be safeguarded. And when the nations of the world have reached a point where they are willing to do that, they have reached a point where it is possible to eliminate war as the arbiter of national differences. For the inspiration which brought the conference into being and for the leadership which refused to acknowl- edge that.any problem was too diffi- cult to be solved, credit is due this government and is freely accorded by cthers. But however able and resolute the leadership, success could not have been attained without sincere and earnest co-operation, so there is no disposition on the part of Americans to hog the credit. In the words of a great naval hero, “There is glory enough for all.” Tt 13 now to be hoped that the lesson of the conference wiil not be lost on Europe in its present time of travail. ‘There is need there for a similar con- ference animated by the same spirit ‘which prevailed in Washington. If the nations of the war-racked continent can bring themselves to a point of willingness to do unto others as they ‘would have others do unto them their troubles will melt away, and they soon will be on the road to assured peace and returned prosperity. —————————— Sluice the Streets! The rains that have fallen since the | heavy snow began to melt have not sufficed to clean the streets of Wash- ington. The dirt that accumulated | upon the snow piles has sunk to the surface of the pavements and there it now lies, in a mucky state, highly deleterious to health and decidedly un- pleasant to all who use the streets. It should dbe cleaned away as speedily as possidble. In such a situation the use of the fire department is to be suggested as the most effective agency. In a few Lours, with the systematic use of the hose, the pavements could be scoured clean and the dirt sent into the sewers. | It is idle to wait for the rain, wmc‘n| may -not come, or may come in drissles. Only a heavy, drenching fall ‘will suffice, and this may not be forth- | coming for many days. I Such a use of the Potomac water ‘would be well worth while. The pave- ments in their present condition are a menace to health. The filth of more than & week lies on the pavements, in the gutters, in the cracks of the asphalt. A few hours of sun and a lit- tle wind will bring it to the condition of dust, to be blown into the lungs of thousands. Far better to sluice it off into the river than to risk the public health. Set the fire engines at work and clean Washington! ————————— The delegates to the arms confer- ence have completed their labors at ‘Washington, but will have material relating to it to discuss with their con- stituencles for some time to come. ———e— Report has it that Alexandria, Va., has undertaken to revise the old phrass and make it read, “Married at leisure and divorcéd in haste.” The New Pope, Pius XI.

G The President’s Tribute. President Harding’s address at the closing plenary session of the arms eonference today is a fitting tribute to the se tions represented, resulting in a series of agreements which more definitely make for world peace than any other agreements ever made. Appropriately the President notes the difficulties, briefly, that have been overcome, the “‘obstacles within and hindrances with- out” which had to be overcome. He { points to the fact that only unanimous agreement could be the rule of action, that “majorities could not dectde with- out impinging national rights.” For, as he says, there were no victors to command, no vanquished to yield. The agreements reached have been proclaimed to the world. Step by step the conference has made kmown its decisions. It has been exceptional in the promptness and frankness with which successive stages have been reached and announced. In respect to constant publicity the Washington conference has been unique among in- ternational gatherings. Harding's epitome of the proceedings of these past twelve weeks is an in- spiring estimate of success. His opti- stantial foundation. His congratula- tions to the delegates are based upon real achievements. It was appropriate that at the close of his address the President should “make grateful acknowledgment to the American delegation,” naming the four men who have so ably carried through the work for which the con- ference was assembled in presenting and sustaining the views of this gov- ernment, and also to the advisory com- mittee, which gave to the American delegates “so dependable a reflex of that American public opinion which charts the course of this republic.” “Don’t Let Them Die.” Yesterday marked the opening in ‘Washington of the American Jewish relief appeal for funds with which to relieve the starving children, women and men in stricken Europe. To meet the appalling suffering of their race abroad—suffering depicted ‘upon the campaign posters with a brutal frank- ness of the camera which renders verbal description pallid and futile— the leading Jews of the United States have entered upon the task of raising the sum of $14,000,000. The quota for thre District of Columbia has been set at $100,000. With the terse and un- answerable statement of fact, “We save them or they die”—Washington is again summoned to meet a responsi- bility in which it cannot fail. That responsibility rests upon the community, as a whole, without di tinction as to creed. The Jews of the National Capital and of the nation at large have ever been among the most generous subscribers to activities of mercy and humanity—even though of a strictly non-Jewish character. There is that in today's unspeakable distress of the European children of a race which has too long borne its anguish alone, which calls in desperate urgency to the hearts of the merciful here, of whatever faith or color or persuasion. The local campaign is to be carried forward until February 12. Before that date is upon us the local quota must and will be met. ——te—e The proposal to establish a “Kaiser Wilhelm memorial charity,” with a view to gathering ‘funds to meet na- tional obligations, cannot fafl to arouse the objections among German citizens that there is no Such person as a kaiser, and that there ought never to have been one. ————e———— Attention has been drawn through- out the world to the fact that there Is a close, though not always considered, relationship between the capital ship and the labor of the taxpayer. —_————————— Lawyers are regarded as more eager than they should-be to get cases be- fore the Supreme Court of the United States.

Thirty-six of these smaller conventions are scheduled now to meet in Washington during the present year. In all probability this number would be trebled with a suitable convention hall.

What would be the attend- |ance with a modern convention hall erected in the District of Columbia, and with a helping hand held out to all organizations who wish to make ‘f‘nnv_’entlons a matter of yéarly rou- ne? * KoK What 1& a convention worth in dol- |1ars and cents? It is a question that has been frequently asked and very few business men have any definite ldeas on the subject. Convention managers state with authority that for every dime spent to obtain and accommodate a convention more than $5 goes into circulation. This is con- sidered a low estimate for Washing- ton. Competition among the larger cities throughout the country for conven- tions 15 keen, and s getting keener every Some cities spend as much a5 $250,000 a year to attract the larger conventions. In two vears Seattle, Wash., has spent enough money in this way completely to finance a con- vention hall of the largest type in this city. Obtaining conventions for a city has doveloped into a scientific proposition. Caring for the conventions when t®y come and turhing them into an im- mediate and future profit to the city Dpresent another problem. * kx> Washinglon is in a position to look lafter both problems competently. Of the eighty-seven hotels in this city. twenty are rated as first class, with standard accommodations for more than 9.000 persons. A census shows that there are in Washington 698 lunchrooms an? restaurants, enough to supply adequately any size of conven- tion which might make the District of Columbia its headquarters, and a suitable convention hall, seating be- tween four and five thousand persons, in addition to these attractions, would make the lure of the National Capital too strong to be resisted. ‘Washington, as a convention cén- ter, does not rely altogether on the material side of oaring for a con- vention. It does not have to. In ad- dition to being the seat of the na- tional government, it is the mecca of the tourist, and the ideal of those who ®eek beauty in art and nature, with its parks, drives, museums and attractive natural attributes, Washington is unquestionably the Ideal convention city from every standpoint. It is rapidly being recog- nized as such by the educational, in- dustrial and p®litical organizations which feature the annual convention. In addition to its national entertaining and educational assets, government de- tments of researéh such as the ‘ederal research laboratories, operated by the Department of Agriculture and bureau of standards, make Washing- ton pre-eminent in attractions for sclentific gatherings. * k% % National organizations throughout the country have already recognized, this fact and a large number of themd have estdblished either headquarters or branches in Washington. The Chamber of Commerce of the United States, the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Asso- ciation of Engineers. the American {Drug Manufacturers’ Assoclation. | | American Federation of Labor. the Assoclation of Rallway FExecutives, National Association for the Moving Picture Industry and many others. too numerous to mention, have represen- tation here. itical, industrial and educatio) tions can no longer ignore Washington as one. of the “smaller cities.” It is rapidly taking a larger and greater place in the world affairs. Conventions not only pay well for the city, but they make a cenvention hall a profitable investment. ~The present method of financing the ma- jority of conventions held here is about as follows: The convention committee secures the necessary space in various hotels in the city where the convention is to be held. Space is then rented out to manufacturers who wish to display their wares to the convention visitors. If it happens to be a medical con- { vention, for example, practically all manufactuters of sur| find it profitable to have large and !'sive displays of the most moder up-to-date instruments. Tnese manu- ers rent the space from the ntion managers and this money in_turn supports the convention. With a large conventior hall—and there is every hope that there will be 1one erected in Washington at an early te—booths and spaces would be provided for these manufacturers’ exhibitions. In this way the conven- tion hall would soon pay for itself. ® ¥ ok % In summing up. it is shown that Washington hus plenty of hotel ac- commodation: restaurants ~nough to care for crowds of visitors; govern- ment departments which ate eag: to co-operate with any organization which wishes to delve deep into .mn.»' particular field: offers excoptional ! opportunities for political, educational and industrial organizations and, be- sides, is the capital of the United States and the center of governmental | activities.

EDITORIAL DIGEST “Were the Railroads Scrapped ?” The testimony of Walker D. Hines, former director general of railroads, before the interstate commerce com- mittee of the Senate, which is con- sidering the railroad refunding bill, would lead_one to the conclusion, the Buffalo Express (independent repub- lican) says, “that when the carriers were turned back to their owners after two years of government opera- tion they were in the pink of condi- tion and at the apex of efficlency,” while “failroad executives on the same theme would have you believe that the lines were mere streaks of rust and disintegrating rolling stock after having been delivered to the government in first-class condition.” The Express suspects that the facts in the case lie “somewhere between these two extreme views,” but news- paper opinion is Inclined to line up With the extremes, incidentally fol- lowing political bias father closely. According to railroad executives and other authorities, the deficit of the railroads during the twenty-six tonths of governmental cperation amounted to $1,800,000,000, while, accofding to Mr. Hines, this figure should be $714,000,000. Here is a discrepancy of more than a billion dollars, which some of the papers say is 80 largely a matter of opinion that it will probably be a long time be: fore a definite agreement is reached 83 to the adtutl cost to the railroads of government operation. It is gen- erally fged that thé great loss sustained by the carriers was due to expensive goverfiment operdtioh, “and yet under the fifst vear of eompany operation the foads sustained a loss equal to more than eneé-half the sum claiméd by the managers as their deficit for the entire twenty:six months of government operation.” But that loss, as some editors see it, is obviously the legacy from govern- ment operatioh, and is the basis for the government’'s debt to the roads as embodied In the refunding bill. “The fact is,”” the 'B\!rllnilon (Vt.) News (re- publican) assefts, ‘‘that the roads were teturned to their owners in a decidedly broken-dewh condition, after twenty- six months of deplorable inefficiericy, mahsgement, r sefvice and care- éss handling,” and the Seattle Times (ind dent npul;l'fi:n) thinks it is Hittla short of miraculous that so much ‘been accomplished in such a fela- ively short space of time by private nbeators since the roads were returned to i The ?‘a' York Tribuhe mm““"fi ds “Mr, Hines' éxcuses labored"” an his figures ‘not epnvincing,” because he 18 “defending sémething indefensible.” The Wall Street Journal (independent) quotes Mr. Hines as declaring that, *ex- cept fot somé shortage in the matter of rails, ties and ballast, the properties Were substantially maintained during federal control,” but in thus “‘exempt- ing from the damnation ef his faint Praise every important material” that ehters into the maintenance of way, what, the Journal inquires, does he fiean="what was vl‘omr kept up?”’ But_on this point the Reno Gazette (republican), @ gflh\f from the atti- tude of most républican papefs, ex- sses the belief that ‘any sf ent 8 ds that o er n s “know better.” in qowhefs -else,” the Refio ghuel,' 5 ‘bk:n “ma!erlnl e, btous e, Ines an were réconstfuctédl and imiproved, the road- beds were. ballastéd in all directions, | féw rails iaid l‘:vd. 1‘n #hert; the c:‘-ve‘:u Were made caj of carrying a he r taaffié In BetFe‘r l:habd llmfi uiu;'er the ol conditiofis.* That such 18 rot the cond in.New England, however, is aft by the New Haven.
