The report of the Department of Labor on the playground facilities of ‘Washington, made after a careful sur- vey of the situation as it exists today. 1s necessarily somber-hued. The sur- vey served to establish the fact that the National Capital is today shame- fully backward in the matter of pro- viding adequate facilities for the healthful and secure recreation of its children. It demonstrated that with in the neighborhood of 125,000 young- sters in Washington, the existing play- grounds can accommodate but 15,000. It pointed out the inadequate equip- ment with which the existing play- grounds are supplied, and empha the fact that, owing to the inevitable overcrowding of the children, ful! benefit cannot be derived even from such equipment as is ayailable. The report—drawn up by experts familiar with playground facilities in progressive, seif-governed communi- ties—emphasizes the urgent need for @ change of attitude on the part of those responsible for the healthful de- velopment of the District children. Nor is the darkest part of the story told in the reciting of the truth as to the immediate shortage in play- grounds. Bad as the existing condi- tions are, under a continuation of the current policy of Congress, they threaten shortly to become very much worse. A large proportion of the existing playgrounds are not owned: the District. They are located on ground temporarily loaned for the purpose by private owners, pending the time when these owners may advantageously dis- pose of their property. Washington is a rapidly growing community. Dis- trict real estate is becoming increas- ingly hard to find and easy to seil. And already the number of play- grounds has been materially reduced as a result of the natural disinclina- tion of private individuals to assume, s, an obligation which should properly be borne by the community and the na- tion. It would seem to be inevitable under existing conditions that this process should continue in the future, and that Washington, as it grows, should annually find its lcaned play- grounds reclaimed for uses more ad- vantageous to their owners. There is but one obvious cure for the indicated condition. The District must be permitted to secure an ade- quate complement of playgrounds, held in its own name. Every process of logic would indicate the advisability of obtaining them promptly, while land for the purpose remains available. Maine and November. Both sides express satisfaction with the Maine result. Chairman Fess of the republican congressional commit- tee thinks it is exceedingly gocd for his side, while Chairman Rouse of the democratic congressional committee finds in it nothing but encouragement for his side. ‘While well entitled to their feelings of comfort, the republicans should not assume that the figures argue full in- dorsement of their course in office, and that the combination that put them in office still holds, and will show itself again in November. It will be safer to assume that the voters of Maine refused to take snap judgment on the dominant party; that they decided to wait until the work of the congressional session was com- plete before bringing it under full ap- praisement at the golls. The situation in Congress cannot be eoncealed. The body. is behind with its work. Factionism is active. The record to date is not creditable to the party which stands high for discipline and accomplishments. But there is time to remedy the matter. If the republicans will stop fighting one another and close ranks for fighting the enemy, they can make a record which will pass examination and give them another Congress. But there is no time to lose. April is almost here, and midsummer should show adjournment day in sight. The sooner, therefore, all faction shindys are called off, and the responsible party on Capitol Hill gets down to ses, the brighter will be the Novem- outlook for it and the country. —_—————— for some time to cofne. He urged con: solidation of the two traction systems. That is a consummation devoutly to be wished and a consummation which 1it is hoped may soon be to the advan- |tage of both systems and the great benefit of the public. 3 Mr. Focht criticised the people of ‘Washington for being too modest and too shy in pressing the just claims of the capital upon the attention of mem- bers of Congress. The criticism will be taken by our people in good nature because it is deserved. We have long been conscious of this fault, but it is a fault which with the permission of the membership of Congress we will correct. It was urged that the House ap- prove the pending provisions for the acquisition of the Klingle Ford, Piney Branch and Patterson tracts as sup- plements and links in the park system of the capital. A representative of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, the first to send a train into Washington, told of 2 campaign to present to the people jof its territory the claims of Wash- ington as a magnet for tourist and other kinds of travel. Washington i all that and something more, and it is a goed thing to educate the rest of America to that idea. Representative Edmonds and other: discussed the Edmonds model insur- ance law, which may prove of great lusefulne:s to the capital and serve as a model for states that have not ad- vanced to so high a condition of civili- zation as we have. The d bility of a law to compel those few inhaBitants clear the snow and ice from the side walk in front of their property w clearly set forth, and the value and ap- propriateness of having a model auto- mobile camp under or close to the shadow of the great dome was made plain. All these things ought to be “put across,” and with the proper push on the part of our people and the friendly co-operation of Congress they .will come to pass. Incidentally at this meeting of the Board of Trade and its worthy and distinguished guests a compli paid to The Star which causes this paper to make a deep metaphorical bow. The gentlemen present some pleasant thin nd adopted similar resolutions thanking The Sfar for its efforts to secure paving for those streets where so many of our taxpayers have been stuck in the mud. Army and Navy Reduction. President Harding has caused it to be made known that he will view with grave concern the reduction of the naval and military th of the na- tion below the ma adequate defense and | i He thinks that the pending proposals in the House for Army and Navy per- sonnel do fall below that line. He is the commander-in-chief of the Army and Navy under the Constitution, and while it is the unquestioned right of Congress to make the appropriations, and the right of Congr solely, sure 1y the counsel and advice of the com- mander-in-chief are worthy of con- sideration by the legislative branch. The President has pointed out that the naval cut proposed will utterl dislocate the international agreement for limitation of naval forces reached at the Washington conference, by dis- turbing the ratio among the nations party to it, as fixed by the treaty. It now seems assured that the naval limitation treaty will be ratified. fol- lowing favorable action on the four- power treaty, and will take its place as an important integer in the ad- mirable structure for peace and eco- nomic allvantage erected by the con- ference. ‘Will not the House assume a grave responsibility in virtually nullifying the effectiveness of that treaty, so far as our own protection is concerned, by destroying the ratio through legis- lation? It is to be borne in mind that the weakening of the effect of the treaty will not disturb the other parties to the treaty; Great Britain and Japgn will see to it that their naval strength is maintained to the full extent permitted by the agree- ment, while the United States will be placed in a position of distinct disad- vantage. ' It is no argument to say that the four-power treaty carries assurance of peace and thereby warrants minimized naval strength. The four-power and other treaties minimize the possibili- ties of war, but do not eliminate them, and the United States must not be placed in a position as an inferior na- tion in point of defensive ability if war should come. —_———— A secret understanding evading or adding to the terms of a treaty might be more easily arranged if political power were not likely to shift fre- quently and unexpectedly. A secret understanding with a retired official or an administration that has passed into history would be only a private conversational reminiscence. h —_———————— I Scientists find it difficult to under- stand why Col.

Capital Progress. The monthly meeting of the Board | ©f Trade last night was a forum in| which many important subjects relat- ing to capital betterment were- dis- cussed by citizens and by members of the ¢ity's common council, generally called the Congress of the United States. « Representative Focht, chairman of e House District committee, said many helpful and encouraging things. He applied a picturesque and apt cpithet to that shaky and antique structure which spans the deep, wide valley of Rock creek on the line of Calvert street. He called it a “rattle- trap” bridge, and expressed the con- viction that it is unsafe. He expressed public opinfon when he said that it should be replaced by a bridge strong enough to bear the traffic of taday and | such traffic as would be offered it thing to keep secret. —————————— Like the man with the street piano, Lenin is willing to play any kind of tune that a financier audience is will- ing to pay for. . * John Barleycorn evidently thinks he can aecomplish something if he can manage to get back into politics. Coal Strike Order Issued. Apparenfly the die is cast, and 600, 000 bituminous and anthracite coal miners will go on strike at midnight March 31. That this industrial con- flict could not be averted is a poor commentary upon the much-vaunted practicality and common sense of the American people, and discourages the hope that a way may soon be found for adjusting differences be- tween employers and employes with- out the senseless waste involvéd in strikes and lockouts. It has been apparent for some time that the strike was almost inevitable. Both the mine owners and the miners have seemed to want it to come, and instead of seeking avoidance have rather placed obstacles in the way of all efforts to bring about an adjust- ment. In this circumstance, the pub- lic will remain neutral and can afford to suspend judgment for the time being, at least. ‘While this is the first time in the history of the mining industry that a general strike involving both the hard and soft coal mines has been ordered, the prospects are less alarming, from the standpoint of the publie, than they Lave been on the occasion of some other strikes. There is no danger that domestic consumers will suffer from lack of coal before next November, and the stocks on hand are estimated to be sufficient to last industry for three months, unless there is a notable increase in activity. The production of non-union mines will add to the sup- plies in sight, so there is no reason to apprehend a serious coal shortage ui til well along in July, at the earliest. But the fact that there is no danger immediate suffering makes the > but little less deplorable. The direct and indirect, will be | enormous., With 600,000 miners added to the ranks of the unemployed the effects will be feit in every factory, on every farm and in every mercantile establishment, and returning pros perity will suffer a serious setback. The railroads, just staggering to their feet after a long period of prostration, will be hard hit, and their withdrawal from the market as buy will be felt all down thq line. Their equipment which ought to be carrying coal will nd idle during the period of the strike, and will be inadequate to mect of es, the der s when mining is resumed. is prolonged until re serv exhausted there will be a coal ] age next fall and winter. The government, taking the vie that public safety was not immediate- cd. did not push to the limit its powers of intervention. But thos powers are in reserve, with I ties which never have been fully e plored, and it is to be med that they will be brought into action if the » is prolonged to a point to im: peril public safety. i —_——————— Blots and Chaos.

The fact that automobilists have taxed the Chain bridge far in excess of the capacity originally intended, | and the further fact that with the building of an improved highway on the Virginia side, which will multiply the number of motor cars crossing this bridge are reasons Why strong pres- sure has been brought to bear upon Chairman Foeht and other members | of the House District committee.

At the same time the Worcester Evening Post enters the picture to suggest the question, “But, we ask, how can educa- tion help in this case when there is one born every minute and two born to get him?” p The general sentiment of the newspa- pers, as reflected by their editorials, is i that there scems to be plenty of law at ! present to curb the bucket-shop clan. What is needed, in the opinion of many editors, is rigid enforcement, so that false promises will be held down to the minimum. Contiruing, the Tribune says: “The {efiiciency of Dblue-sky legislation has never been proved. The important thing in the present situation is o put in jail the men who have cheated credulous customers and to keep them there so long that their example will be a lesson to others who /otherwise might be tempted to empléy the same method.™ The Post's position is somewhat dif- ! ferent in adding: “Institutions for the parting of fools and their money secm to be quite common in this country, and any amount of legisla- tion has been passed in an endeavor to protect weak-minded and inexperi- enced persons from the designs of those who are ever ready to exploit the weakness of their neighbors.

The approach to the falls' on the Virginia side is much easier and closer thar on the Mary- land side. * Kk ok % Chain bridge has had a very inter- esting history. A bridge was built Falls in 1797, which was destroyed in 1804. Another bridge was erected shortly thereafter, but this bridge was also destroyed. Four years later a bridge supported by chains was built, and this in turn was destroyed about two years later. On February 22, 1811, Congress au- thorized the directors of the George- town-Potomac Bridge Company to rebuild the bridge “and empowered that company to call a general meet- ing of the stockholders with a view to levying an assessment for rebuild- ing the bridge. Up until 1833 lm'sel structures were under the control of | private parties. Congress appropriated $150,000 on March 2, 1823, to aid the citizens of Georgetown to purchase and make free the then existing bridge over Little Falls, and the act of the Georgetown boards of aldermen and the common council, approved March 11, 1833, provided for the purchase of the bridge and for declaring the same | iree. It should be noted that at that time the approaches to the bridge and the | abutments on both sides of the river | were in fedcral territory, s | until 1846 that an act rovided for the retroc tate of Virginia of that portion of the District of Columbia formerly | ceded by that state. * ¥ Xk X The act of Congress, approved March 3, 1833, making appropriations for the civil and diplomatic expenses of the | government for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1854, appropriated $30,000 to be expended under the direction of the President of the United States for the construction of a bridge across the Potomac river at Little Falls. An appropriation of $100,000 was made by act of Congress, approved June 10. 1872, for rebuilding the then eXisting bridge and it also provided it the bridge should be rebuilt as a to be approved by the chief of engi- f the Army and under his su- The_bridge so authorized s constructed under a contract be- tween the United St and the Phoenix Bridge Com n 1874, and is now known as “the Chain bridge.” ‘An appropriation of § care of the Benning, Anacosti Chain bridges was made by Congress in the sundry civil supply bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880, ap- proved March 3, 18719, as well as 300 for replanking and palnlmgl the Chain bridge, since which time the District of Columbia has con- tributed to its maintenance. From 4 to 1880 the Chain bridge was maintained solely as a federal bridge. * ok ok ok . This is one of the important struc- tures started by the federal govern-! ment which have served their purpose for many years, but which are now out-of-date, unsafe and wholly inade- quate, that for the public interest and welfare and safety must be replaced by others of modern design to meet entirely different conditions than those for which the original structure was dgsigned. The Chain bridge was niever intended, even in its early days of greater strength than today, to bear anything like the load it is car- rying today. The promise of Chairman Focht of House District committee that he 11 get earnestly behind the Moore bill for a new bridge to replace the Chain bridge looks toward progres- sive legisiation and an improvement that will extend its benefits far be- yond the District. It is plain that a concern so shady in character as to be unable to open an account with any reputable bank in the community is so effectively black- listed at the outset that nobody with | the least morsel of intelligence could ! Le cajoled into doing any business with it.” After explaining concretely just how the bucket shop operates, and why its business is illegitimate, the Chicago Daily News continues: “All such con- cerns ought to be cleared out and forever kept out of the financial field. Their business is pure gambling. Be- cause they make a pretense of buy- ing stocks and grain on very small margin they encourage the gambling habit, particularly among younger persons and others who are ignorant of the true nature of these gambling processes. The Pittsburgh Press says that “the epidemic of bucket-shop failures is a reminder that an investor who, when buying stocks, does not buy ‘on mar- gin,” but pays for them outright, en- joys many advantages, financial as well as moral. One of the moral ad- vantages is that he frees himself from the reproach of being called a gam- bler. * * ¢ The financial advantages of outright purchase are numerous, in- cluding absence of the anxiety that the ‘margined’ purchaser suffers be- cause of the temporary fluctuations of the market, which frequently ex- haust his margin and wipe out his account, entailing serious loss.” Reducing Armies in Europe. The league of nations, working quietly and without pomp aend ecir- cumstance, already has a tentative plan to do for European armies what the Washington conference did for the world’'s navies. that is, cut them down to a fixed o of practicable sizes The plan has been submitted to the nations concerned and may form the basis for that European dis- armament which our aloofness-advo- cates, always critical and interfering, accuse_the allies of neglecting. The league plan sets up a unit of 30,000 men as a basis of allofment and proposes the following ratio: France, 6 (or 180,000 men); Poland, 4; Great Britain, Holland; Czechoslo- vakia, Rumania and Spain, 3 each; Belgium. Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, 3. each, and Portu- gal, 1. The figures for Italy, Jugo- slavia and Greece are not yet re- ported. Those of Germany, Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria were fixed by the peace treaties. Russia is like newly washed hair—"you simply can't do anything with it.” The thirty-six units of the above list represent 1,080,000 men. or about one-half of the force now held under arms by the countries in question. The- proposal is therefore a real cut- ting-in-two of Europe's land armies. —Chicago Evening Post (independ- ent).
