Unsettled as matters of all kinds are in this country, we have yet a basis upon which to do business when again business in volume is possible. Let the swing upward begin, and we shall be among the first, if not the first, to show the effect. gy ¥ Steady is the word." The fog will lift. ‘The way will appear plain again. You can't keep a working world down; and when the world—not a portion but all of it—begins to work again, as it is r | certain to do, & greater degreg of pros- perity than at any time hitherto in Amgerica and everywhere else will be registered. Churchgoers and the Treaties. At frequent intervals there come to the Senate, in the form of communica- tions recelved by senators or by the Vice President and laid beforg that 80c hody, appeals from organized religious Lawn and Parking. The “parking” along miles of resi- dence streets is In a run-down condi- tion. The turf has been destroyed. The “parking” is mud now, and will be baked clay, dust or gravel when summer comes. It is not believed that the public authorities can do very much toward correcting this condition. The correction, if brought about, must be the work of parents. The destruc- tion has been caused by children, and legions of the little people seem never to have been instructed at home that the public parking is & good thing. a pretty thing, and that it should be pre- served. It ought not to be trampled down in play and it ought not to be ‘walked on. Where there is a “park- ing™ there is a pavement, and the vaved part of the sideway is the place for walking. Back in the early 70s the parking commission, with the aim of making ‘Washington a beautiful city, not only began the work of planting trees along the streets but adopted the plan of kaving a strip of lawn between the pav$ment and the curb. This was for the health of the trees and for the Ppleasure which sight of this strip of green would give to citizens. It is w plan which is continued today, but along miles of streets where the aver- ege sort of people live there is no “parking,” but merely a strip of un- paved earth. This parking, if kept up, adde value to the abutting and nearby property. Not kept up it injures not only the abutting property but the whole neighborhood. Citizeris who are anx- ious to maintain the parking before their property find it impossible to do this because of other people’s children. Fouseholders, homekeepers, find it difficult—in most cases impossible—to maintain a bit of unfenced front lawn, and in extensive neighborhoods have given up the effort and gone back to the primitive fence to guard their little patch of green. Many have sought to compromise by planting a hedge around the plot, but u hedge is rothing before troops of undisciplined or illregulated children. Both hedge end lawn disappear before them. Along some of the best built-up streets in the city there were grassy terraces between the building line and the side- walk, but hundreds of the property holders gave up the effort to keep their terraces in grass, and were forced to build stone walls at the pave- ment line and to fill in behind them. The remaining terraces have little or no turf on them, and tend to give a shabby outlook to the neighborhood. Here is a case where home instruc- tion should be given to children in the care of public parking and in respect for other person's lawns. When the parents themselves show a need for such instruction it should be given by & neighborhood organization. —ete—————— Government Shacks. All of the shack structures set up in Washington by the government under stress of war need should be torn down. If this cannot be done now be- cause of lack of space in the regular budldings for carrying on government work, the idea should be kept in mind that these shacks were built under the plea of emergency ahd haste, and ought—to be steadily looked on as things to be got rid of at the earliest day possible. Efforts ought to be made fo abandon and wreck them without delay. They are unsightly, not safe, and they incumber park space. They are far out of line with approved plans for capital betterment and develop- ment. If the work force of the gov- ernment at the capital has been so ex- panded that greater space is called for it should be provided in a dignified and proper way. Government will confess itself a bad manager if it does not fur- nish proper buildings for its *help.” The barrack buildings should not be made to serve till they decay and drop. There cannot be many years of useful- ness in them, but they ought not to be permitted to live out even that short span of time. —_—ae———————— A readjustment of dwelling condi- tions which threatens to leave many people roofless makes the lot of the “gutomobile tramp" look like a happy one. : B —— Irreconcilability is variously defined a5 a courageous demonstration of prin- ciple, or as a personal habit of thought. The* high cost of housing is one phase of the living problem that de- mands continued investigation. The Return to Normalcy. TImpatience continues as a sort of curse. We are all so keen to return to normalcy, an unreasonableness pos- ‘sesses us. We want everything done on a while-you-wait schedule. We for- get, or ignore, the circumstances of our departure from normalcy. and ‘what has taken place since. Another thing. We forget, or ignore, the fact that normalcy does not exist anywhere. Some years ago the world departed from normalcy; and in no quarter is normalcy now in evidence. ‘The best efforts to return to it have failed. “Misery loves company.” Sure! Then why not console ourselves—indeed, encourage ourselves—with an appre- clation of the general situation? Why not reflect on the fact that our fate *“4s the common fate of all”? ‘We are In no worse condition than assoclations throughout the country urging the ratification of the treaties formulated by the arms limitation and far eastern conference. An instance in point is furnished in the letter pre- sented to the Senate last Friday by Senator Lodge, from an organizatiop styled “The Massachusetts Federatiop of Churches.” The communication ex- plained the federation as ‘“officially reprelenth.\g the denominational bodies of the state of Massachusetts.” It went on to add that the federation at a special meeting unanimously voted to “respectfully but earnestly urge the Senate promptly to ratify the treatles agreed upon by the Washing- ton conference on the limitation of armaments as submitted by the Presi- dent.” v It was held in the resojution adopted that the treaties *“constifute great and important steps toward insuring world peace by providing for the “peaceful settlement of questions which other- ‘wise might disturb amicable relations between nations and by ending inter- national competition in the building of pavies and all its inevitable burdens and evil consequences.” If it should be suggested that these communications to the Senate from the people at large are in the nature of organized propaganda, the word propaganda seeming to be regarded with peculiar disfavor in Congress, might it not be inquired if the Senate hears of any organized propagande from the people at large against the treaties? Occasionally there are in- dividual protests, reflecting and in- dorsing the views held by some op- ponents of those instruments of world peace; byt are they, in form end number, such as to indicate the exist- ence of widespread public seniiment hostile to the treaties? It is to be assumed that the men [and women who make up the member- ship of the religious denominations are thinking people, conversant with the great issues and topics of the times, and. along with thousands of worthy folk who are not affiliated with such -organizations, are think- ing in terms of peace, progress and prosperity for the world as well as for this country. By every sign by which it is pos- sible for the people to indicate their desires it is being made known to the Senate that the sentfment of this coun- try is “set” in favor of the ratification of the treaties. The Senate should have no difficulty In feeling the pulse of the public on this question and to sense the fact that it is throbbing steadily for ratification. The request contained in the appeal of the Massa- chusetts organization that the treaties be ratified “as submitted by the Presi- dent” was probably unwitting su- pererogation upon its part. The Sen- ate, in its own wisdom will decide want are advisable reservations or if any are needed, and that decision will be p&epled by the people who want favorable action on the main proposi- tion—ratification. Vigorous Politics This Year. An attack on Leader Mondell from the democratic side in the House the otfer day was construed by his friends in that body as a contribution to the Wyoming campaign. Mr. Mondell is a candidate for the Senate, and will soon be in action at home at the head of kis forces. X This attack as construed simply il- lustrates the fact that politics is now the wear. All roads lead to it. All acts, whether of commission or cmissio are searched for evidences of it. If 1cenator or representative is a candi- ]dale for re-election, or for promotion, he is supposed to be regulating- his ivoles and®his outgivings solely with {the purpose of serving his personal fortunes. This supposition is narrow. It leaves . ' THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, publican legislators decided to put tariff revision ahead of tax revision, and ahead, indeed, of all the items on their card. They tackled it et once, and gave assurances that a new tariff law revising the Underwood law would soon be on the books. As time passed, however. tax re- vision *increased in importance, ths business world pressed for action, tax revision was put ahead of tariff re- vision, and without much further de- lay a new tax law was enacted. The tariff, thus displaced, still hangs fire. The House disposed of this sub- ject last year, but the Senate has yet to act. The reason is of less moment than the fact, and the fact is giving rise to & question as to how much longer the delay will last. “Must” should be written across the Jacket of the tariff measure. As soon as possible & new law should go into operation, so that it may have as much time as possible before November to demonstrate whatever merit it may possess. Novone thing can revive busi- ness, but everything entering into a sound economi® policy should be brought into play. * The Chicago lawyer who on being notified that he had fallen heir to an earldom declared that he desired no other title than that of United States citizen deserves three cheers. His own wishes will not be considered. Titles are thrust upon men by'circumstances, and it is the popular love of them that keeps them in evidence; not the pride of thelr possessors. The newly made earl will find but few of his acquaint- ances willing to defer to his wish, however sincere, that they go on call- ing him plain ““Mister” or by his first name. The title is less an arrogant as- sumption than a deference to the pub- lic taste for such things. —_—————————— No statesman should permit himself to becqgle too expert in golf. Herbert Spencer once said to a facile billiardist, “A moderate proficiency in this game is the accomplishment of a gentlemdn, but too great a skill can only indicate a misspent youth.” * Railways are sald to have lost pa- tronage because of increased fares. The price of a rallway ticket has be: come a consideration of increasing im- portance.

They found that housing experts of the nation have put their heads to- gether with a determination to at- tack the building situation from the basic angle, ferret out the real cause for delayed construction and seek a remedy. N\ _They found, also, to their gratifica- tion, that the National Capital has made as great strides fcrward in the reconstruction period as any other city in the United States, going far toward overcoming as great a short- age, If not a greater one, than exists in any other of the large cities, due to the influx here of government workers. * ok %k Xk The national problem of housing, as compared with the local situation, is still acute, although perhaps not so apparent as it was a short time ago. According to Irving B. Hiett, presi- dent of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, who presided at the conference here, this apparent improvement is attributable to the fact that many families have doubled up in_quarters, seeking to adjust liv- ing conditions to their lowered earn- ing power and the unemployment that temporarily handicaps them. Relief from the shortage largely is a questjon of financing, and the Washington Real Estate Board will Join with the National Association in sbeking to solve the financial problem. Several proposals have been made in this connection, based on the knowledge that this dearth of money ia due to the flow of investment money away from mortgages and into no able securifies. Out- standing among_ these suggestions is the’ one that all securities be taxed, as are mortgages and other forms of investment now producing revenus for the government. It is realized, however, that to bring about this end will require something more than passing of resolutions favoring it. * k% *x Other proposals include obtaining legislation permitting national banks to use their savings deposits for the purchase of real estate and buildings securitles, or at least a part of these deposits for that purpose; requiring life insurance companies to invest a definite portion of their funds in mortgage loans; diverting money re- ceived from federal savings accounts into banks_that will be required to use it for loans on home construc- tion. Washington realtors, in line with the policy laid down by the national body of realtors, oppnsed the bill in- EDITORIAL DIGEST A New Building Code. Although President Harding de- clined to call a national conference on housing on the ground that it was a local problem, which the govern- ment 'could do little to relieve, the administration, through the Attorney General, has taken a step which the press predicts will so stimulate bulld- ing as to relieve the housing situa- tion materially. "Mr. Daugherty has secured through conference with rep- resentatives of bricklayers, masons and plasterers’ organizations a new code, which modifies a number of practices of the bullding trades, which, it is held, have been holding up building costs and hindering con- struction. The revised code is enun- clated in the form of a decree of a federal court, which provides penal- ties for violation, and, as one writer points out, “more than 100,000 men of the affiliated crafts must abide by it.” d, th ed the productive efficiency of the in-. dividual workman. It permits the employer to purchase his materials wherever he pleases and from any- body who has the right goods to zell, whether union made or not. It aims to abolish the informal agreements between labor unions and contractors’ associations for mutual advantage in boosting prices and limiting output. It forbids the use by labor of con- tractors or makers of material for the collection of debts or the en- forcement of claims.” Not the least noteworthy feature of the agreement in the way of prece- dent “Is the manner in which it has been accomplished,” the Philadelphia Bulletin thinks. Although, as the Utica Observer points out, “the union faced prosecution for conspiracy, co- ercion and many Improper acts in the restraint of trade and industry, and could have been proceeded against under the Sherman law, probably re- sulting in prison sentences,” the union heads were called in, the Bulletin re- ports, “to talk it over. They agreed to the error of these practices,” and '(‘they ple:lg:d themselves for the fu- ure.” The decree aims squarely at some of the worst abuses which have been strangling the building industry, as various editors analyze it. The first stipulation will end the “slackerism’ which the Minneapolis Journal says “has obtained wide currency in labor circles,” by which “a standard day's work ® * * has been made to conform to the ability or willingness of the least efficient workers,” the re- sult of which has been “greatly to increase costs.” Under the new code, the Journal belleves, “the efficient workman is to be permitted to reap the advantage for himself and for his employer of his ability.” Putting an end to extortion, the Boston Transcript notes, “does not in- fringe upon the legitimfte activitics of the labor unions. There is nothing in the action agreed upon to interfere with the proper efforts of the unions to establish hours or conditions of Jabor. But the Individual workman will be freed from arbitrary limita- tion of his output” and “his organi- zation will not be made a bludgeon in the hands- of men who would ex- ploit the home builder and the busi- ness man.” The Attorney General declared that “the decree constitutes a new bill of rights fer the home builder, the rent- payer, the manufacturer and the business man who has to build,” and the Richmond Times-Dispatch con- siders the statement “fully justified Further, the paper remarks, it estab- lishes “a new policy of government toward labor unions and trade and contractors’ associations” by bringing thede “powerful organizations” into accord with the government “for the protection of the paramount rlllhls of the public, whose interests the'gov- ernment must serve.” The New York Times not foo opti- mistically remarks that the decree will do much if it “lessens the cost of construction, making & decent hom once more an economic possibility, anad will do more “if it revives the wholesome competition nhlehn'llonc makes stable progress possible.” But the Newark News sees a foreshadow- ing of a “salvation far business gen- erally” im the agreement, for with the extension tq, all the building trades. of the principles laid down, and their enforcement, “the great building in- dustry can begin to come up for air/ and the Lexington Leader also be- fleves that “an honest effort to live up to the rules of the new code will 1" him.—New York Call. + o troduced in Congress for the estab- lishment of a home loan bank of the same character as the Farm Loan Bank. While admitting that such a bank undoubtedly would help eir business, the brokers took the stand that such an institution was wrong in principle, placing the government in direct competition with a line of private endeavor. Such competition, they contend, would be contrary to the slogan of President Harding— “More business in government and less government in business.” = * ko k * Consideration of each of the pro- posed means for lending financlal as- sistance to the builder brings the student of the problem back again to tax-exempt securities. The realtors of this city and of every city are opposed to all forms of tax-free securities, whether.na- tional, state, county or city. In tak- ing this stand these men champlon the cause of the American property owner, who, according to statistics, pays 80 per cent of all general taxes and whose investment in the up- bullding of the country represents 60 per cent of the combined wealth of the nation. Mr. Hiett told the assembled real- tors that tax-exempt securities in the United States reach stagger- ing total of $16,000,000,00 He be- lleves that the injustice of this Is evident, and should be emphasized. Into these Investments the large es- tates of the nation are placed, there to be gheltered from taxatlon at the expense of the property owner, be- cause it is on the shoulders of the property owner that the increased burden eventually falls. 5 The greater evil, however, Mr. Hiett stated, was that money so Invested would be otherwise available for the construction of homes here in Wash- ington and elsewhere for public works, for business and for industrial uses. The movement to prohibit the issue of such securities will be stanchly supported by these business interests. & * k¥ * Careful estimates, made public at the meeting here, indicate that the United States has adequate housing facilities for but 8 per cent of its population. The remaining 15 per cent, total of approximately 3.000,- 000 families, must be properly shei- tered. There s a certain percentage of the population that does not re- quirc separate houses. Taking one- half of the total that are now pro- vided for, there are 1,500,000 families in_America today who are not prop- erly housed. It is thought that this is a conservative estimate of the na- tional house shortage. Funds for building, so far as Wash- ington is concerned, appear to be more easily available today than a year ago. This opening up of the money market has been reflected in the revival of home building here last fall and this winter, and the prepara- tions being made for spring construc- tion. The advances which local builders have made since 1918 in residential buflding made a profound impression on many of the visiting realty offi- cials who lived here during the war while engaged in government service. “Washington leads the country,” as one realtor put it. undoubtedly quicken enterprise and' increase building operations.” So People May Eat.. In spite of France's efforf to ad- vance the culture of the world, of her heroism in the great war, of her art in clothing the better looking half of humanity with .fashion's latest and best, certain French legends that have occupied many puzzled Yankee minds for more hours than they were worth are to be erased. All this means that the plutocratic hotels and the cates in this land of the finally free and the always brave are to dispense with the French language in naming their dishes of food, and thus permit people to eat what they want when they wish. Indeed. the “carte du jour” is to be dumped into the wastebasket and a Yankee bill of fare is to take its place on the table. “Garcon” will sadly take his departure and come back merely a waiter, but the chet will not be able to laugh at him, for he will become a cook by the same Pprocess. “Chou” will once more be known to its devoted admirers as cabpage. Nor will there be any more of “au” this or “au” that to befool the hungry. In fact, America’s soldier-French won't be worth a centime pocket piece any more when the new rule goes into effect, but for this loss there will be a great profit in more food sold to happy Americans who can order with confidence and escape the indigestion that was sure to fallow a half-hour wrestling match with a French “earte du jour” with a ‘“garcon” as 2 haughty referee.—Sioux City Journal (republican).

It is merely & question of when the stations capable of performing this service can be put into operation. The equipment already exists. Similarly, communication with pas- sengers upon an airplane in the air and with others on an express train will also be possible by the same ap- paratus or combination of systems. The automatic central station, which connects the ordinary with the radio telephone, will do all the technical work, and the speakers will use noth- ing more than the ordinary desk telephone..—New York Tribune (repub- lican). v The Seer Speaks.
