Suggestion that 8 o'clock starting in the departments in the name of day- light-saving may lead to a pef:nanent lengthening of the .hours of govern- ment clerks is likely to cause a sharp drop in temperature among those who have been enthusiastic for the shifted schedule. Probably today in the gov- ernment offices there is a strong de- sire for the account in last e the sentiment preva Hill on this point. For some time past there hasgbe a tendency to inercase the working day of the government employes. Formerly the hours were 9 to 4. Then reconsideration based upon | ing's Star of | < on Capitol a few yea s ago they were extended to from 9 to 4:30. Now It is suggested that they be lengthened to run from 8 to 4:30, giving a full eight-hour working day with balf an hour for “The United Stat practically the only employer that exacts more work- ing time without paying for it. When the ra hail hour was added to the day no addition was made to the pay roll. Indeed, outside of bonus grants during the war period and su sequently, no increases in the basic pay have been made in the pay roll for the great body of the classified employes for more than half a cen- tury, during which time the average of compensations in business and in- dustrial employment in this country has doubled. The spectacle of the United States continuing to exact more service from its workers without additional com- pensation is not especially edifying. It makes Uncle Sam look like a harsh boss intent upon wringing the last possible ounce of service out of his ‘workers for the least possible pay. A few years ago Congress, in order to prevent a strike on the railroads of this country, passed a law lowering the hours of labor on the lines. Talk is now heard of lengthening the hours of labor in the departments. This is a singular inconsistency, so illogical and so unfair that it can hardly be believed that serious effort will be made to carry out the proposed change in government hours. Of course, the clerks can get to work at 8 o'clock. They are doing it now under this ‘daylight-saving” plan. But that does not signify that they can without rapid diminution of efficiency work through to 4:30 on a regular schedule. A Snap Vote in Commons. If it was the purpose of the British ministry to force & vote in commons yesterday to disclose the strength of the opposition it was surely accom- plished. The vote was technically a defeat for the government, the opposi- tion, In the absence of the prime min- ister, carrying a motion to adjourn by 151 to 148. The subject under dis- cussion was not of moment, but it is often true that in parliamentary mat- ters immaterial questions bring about ministerial crises. Resignation of the ministry is not to be expected in consequence of yes- terday’'s vote. The government has not challenged the opposition, and until it does and is fully outvoted it will probably hold office. Premier Lloyd George is too shrewd a poli- tician and too capable a leader to pre- cipitate an election in the present situation of European unsettlement unless he is compelled by e positive show of opposing force. At the same time it will be neces- sary for the ministry to seek a vote of confidence in commons soon, to overcome the effect of yesterday's technical defeat. If it does not invite or demand a test upon a question of policy it will be subject to accusation of fear, which will in itself be tanta- mount to defeat. A change of ministry in England at this time would not be conducive to fear of fire or other form of vengeance terrorism would gain ascendancy. Judging from rehorts against the labor leaders is strong. evidence. complete. who are now under arrest. 1t is declared that organized labor in Chicago will provide a large fund for the defense of the accused men. The case will be bitterly fought. It is. indeed, a case upon which the na- tional interest centers. For while perhaps the motives in the particular security. Organized labor should repudiate these criminals and all the practices that have been pursued in Chicago. To the great majority of workingmen il this country such courses are re- pellent, and they are denounced in the strongest terms. Their organizations should record their abhorrence of award-repudiation and crime. —————— Gen. Wood’s Patriotic Request. It is a modest and reasonable re- quest that Gen. Wood makes of the University of Pennsylvania. Natural- 1y, he is interested in the work he has in hand at Manila, and for the sake of all concerned, in the archipelago and at home h wants to remain and see !it through. The request should be granted. More than-that. If before January 1— the date now suggested for the gen- eral's return—affairs should take a shape making his longer stay in the Philippines advisable, the necessary arrangements should be made. As Gen. Wood says, frankly and properiy enough, he is not present in the archipelago “for pleasure or profit, but in compliance with the re- peatedly expressed wishes of the President to do a certain work and in |response to what I considered an im- perative call for service which past fitted me to render.” his selection for it. tance and attending to business of much delicacy and difficulty.

Is the rise of “feminism" and “flap- perism” responsible for this changed attitude? Or is it merely a degenera- tion of the masculine custom of def- erence to the other sex?

In his address at Columbus, Ohio, Monday night before the chamber of commerce Vice President Coolidge gave a good and campaigneble ac- count of his party’s performances since taking over the country’'s af- fairs fourteen months ago. So much has been said about what the republicans in office have not done, and the opposition is so much inter- ested in having discussion continue in that line, the deeds of commission have either been subordinated, or lost sight of altogether! Mr. Coolidge in his lelsure moments has cast up that side of the question, and shows that it is highly worthy of consideration; that the record is a worthy one, and sufficient to base an appeal to the country cn. The Vico President thus becomes a keynoter. He finds use for the mate- rlal he gathers while presiding over the Senate, and while moving as a welcome guest in the political circles of the capital. In Mr. Marshall the democrats had a man of this quality afid capacity, but he found small opportunity for using his talents. One of the best stumpers in the middle country, he was almost a mute during his eight vears of office. How much good stump- ing stuff thus remained unutilized can experience has perhaps particularly | never be known.

And then there is the question of the weather, and that of the comfort of audiences. The primary contest will run through June and July—months which in Missouri are sometimes siz- zlers. The air under a big, high can- vas of a warm afternoon or evening is a marked improvement on that of a close place with limited entrances and exits. i Probably, too, it is well to take into account the nature of the campaign. It is personal somewhat, and getting warm. And Senator Reed, when aroused, is 2 warm person. On several accounts, therefore, the Missourl senator seefs to have cor- rectly appraised the situation and made the proper provision for it. —————— A special style of coronet will be de- signed for ladfes in the house of lords.

Arson in Chicago. ‘Arson, threatened by anonymous letters following the indictment of la- bor leaders in Chicago, has been ac- tuafty committed. A bomb was ex- ploded in &n uncompleted apartment building, and fire was started in it which caused damage of about $200,- 000. Just before the explosion men 'went through the .adjoining apart- ment house and gave warning to the occupants, one of them accompanying his words with & curse for the Landis award. ‘ Such tactics cannot possibly stop the course of justice in dealing with the men accused of complicity in' the bombing ottrages and the slaying of policemen.

The difficulty with Euro- pean statesmanship in deallng with the Russian problem is that it is try- lnf to find a way to accept as real things which are merely fantastic, and “the statesmen are quarreling among themselves for advantage in obtaining something which does not, the thing being Russian trade. * ok ok k7 Even some Americans have been de- luded Into eager desire to chase this will-"o-the-wisp, and have lamented loudly that a great opportunity was being let slip by. Mr. Hoover punc- tures that bubble most effectively. “When Russia was running full blast previous to the war,” he sald, “she took 1 per cent of the exports of the United States, which, when reduced Into terms of working time of our Jorkmen and farmers, meant roughly he emrloyment of say 30,000 Ameri- cans. We are not, therefore, nor ever will be dependent upon Russia for the physical welfare of our people.” it Russian trade meant so little to this country in the days of her pros- perity before the war, when she was among the most industrious and thrifty of nations, what can it mean today, when Russia {s bankrupt, her people Idle and hopeless and with the ruble, which had a pre-war value of more than 50 cents, so debased that it now requires four millions of them to equal a single American dollar? “Russla has no _productivity,” Mr. Hoover told his hearers; “her fac: tories and mines, even where founde on Russian raw material and repairs, are producing but from 2 to 25 cent; her raflways are transporting less than 7 per cent of their pre-war capacity; her agricultural production is below ‘her own needs, instead of the great normal surplus; she has eaten up her entire fat, and can have for a long time nothing to exchange for the services of our workmen or the sav- ings of our investors. Therefore, if we would supply work, capital and talent to the reconstruction of produc- tivity in Russia they must be given upon credit or charity.” * k k% And Mr. Hoover makes It clear that there must be a sharp distinction be- tween helping Russia on a business basis and upon the basis of charity. Hed calls attentlon to the fact that when it comes to charity the Ame®i- can people already have shown their sympathy and desire to help by éx- pending more than $50,000,000 on sav- ing the Russian people from starva- tion and in providing seed for the next harvest, which is many times as much as the charitable contributions of all the rest of the world combined. Those Russians who charged at Genoa that recognition of the soviet govern- ment was withheld because of a sel- fish desire on our part to protect American investments in Russia are pointedly remindeq that our outright gifts to them in the form of charity probably exceed the total of all such American investments. But charity will not reconstruct Russia and make her self-sustainifig. At best it is only temporary. Ameri- can charity has kept alive ten million Russians who otherwise would ha perished, but it cannot rebuild that which has been destroyed and restore Russia to productivity. That calls for capital and labor and their production on a vast scale, and they can be pro- vided only on a basis of sound busi- ness, not of free will offerings. 3] Russia, Mr. Hoover emphasizes, was| tute a reasonable guarantee that destroyed from within, not from with- | principal will be safe and profits be out, and the means of reconstruction returned. EDITORIAL DIGEST Heckling of Father Time Fails to Please Editors. With Washington entering the “daylight saving” contest through adoption of the Harding suggestion of simply starting work an hour earlier, thereby galning sixty minutes for the afternoon pleasure time, the detfate concerning its “worthwhileness” has started anew. The great majority of the editorial discussion is voiced in opposition, although some papers fa- vor ohanging the clocks, Insisting that such action is essential if people are to retire an hour earlier in the evening, so that they will be fresh for work the next morning. ‘The “Washington idea, characterized as Iimpracticable communities where industry is not standardized. The general objection is volced by the Baltimore News, which calls attention to the fact that “Washington is iargely a one-indus- try town, with Uncle S8am as the big- gest bo 80 that the other ocallings will find it easy and natural to fall into line.” The merit of the capital method, it is argued in many quarters, is that it will meet the opposition of the farmer, who, &s the Jackson, Mich., Citizen Patriot carefully points out, “must regulate his daily routine by the coming of daylight and the coming of the dew,” although the “cities will never consent to have daylight saving ended. In the course of time & way will be found to adjust the system to the farm. In the mean- time there must be more or less con- fusion.” The dual system, in"the opin- jon of the Springfleld (Ill) State Journal, is hard to defend, because , “by the large cities upsets the rest of the country. The Wwhole Mississippi valley experiences bad ef- fects when Chicago starts time sav- ing, but that does not affect the selfish- ness of Chicago.” “Abstractly so-called, 1s 0. daylight-saving 15 a ood thing,” the Cleveland Plain ealer sugge! “it gives people more time for pleasure at the end of the day.” But the result of the complica- tions of time of every variety in each 1w | i cannot come from without until the basis is provided within. .When the American people are called upon to. place their savings in Russian invest- ments they will ask for security for repayment and evidence that there will be a return to productivity in or- der that payment wili be mad Neither of these has yet been provid- ed by the men who have usurped power and sit as the government at Moscow. * ¥ ¥ X The American government will not make or arrange any loans to the government of*Russia. That is a set- tled fact, and all the arguments the = Russians may make at Genoa or Mos- cow or elsewhere will not alter it. Whatever Amorican help is extended Russia must come from the the méer- chants and Investors of this country. And in Becretary Hoover's statement with respect to the possibilities of such help there is food for reflection for Russia and the rest of Europe. He L “Unless the confidence of these merchants and investors can be ise- cured there will be no credits extend- ed other than the minor sums of the greedy speculator. Our citizens in considering these things naturally raise the question of the treatment of our fellow countrymen who have al ready invested their savings in Ru sia, not alone because of any solic! tude for the comparatively small amount of such Investment. but be- cause their treatment will be the in- dex of confidence to others, and, far beyond this, because there lies herea principle to which the American peo- ple must needs take heed, for that principle lies at the root of the whole basis of international commerce. This principle Is that unless foreign mer- chants and investors may enjoy prop- erty and security of contract under the terms of the Institution by which they acquired them, or, alternatively, recelve compensation for the loss of them, then the whole fabric of inter- national trade and commerce will dis- appear and the world will go up in chaos. It is impossible to conceive commerce between natlons that is not founded upon the right of property and upon the sanctity of contract. A century ago nations were nearly enough self-supporting to withstand such a shock. The world has now grown into absolute interdependence. The very life of people depends upon the movement of commodities and goods from one nation to another. Property rights are not a fetish. They are an instrument of industry and commerce, and are as indispensable as ships. Unless there can be an assur- ance of the security of these rights of foreigners, there can be no processes of exchange in googs or investment of savings. There is no enforcement of property rights and contract be- tween natfons unless we are to force the test of war, which America has always refused to do. Our only course is to decline relationships until these thipgs are maintained. Upon confi- dence in the good faith in these prin- | ciples among nations rests the whole fabric of international life.” * ok x ¥ There are the “foundations of real- ism” upon which it will be possible for America to help in the reconstruc- tion of Russia. There are no other foundations. Lloyd George may ma- neuver and Tchitcherin may plead and argue, but they cannot change these basic facts. The American vision is blurred by neither fear nor self-interest. Moral values and business common sense still prevail this side the Atlantic, no matter how far adrift Europe may be from these moorings. The Amer- ican people will continue to do what | they can In the way of charity, much ! more than any other people in the world will do, but they will not con- found charity with business. What- | over they have to give for the relief | of suffering, they will give freely and without expectation of return. But when they are approached for credits and investments, they are going to ask for security which will consti- clocks and some do not, though all, willy nilly, get up earlier in the morning. _And above the strife sounds the everlasting _questio: Which time? And while “regulating people’s habits by law is getting b b: on with the lawmakers, Journal Gazette hopes that ‘““perhaps the clock, at any rate, and the seasons, may be let alone. Nothing but confusion results from the changing of ti clock here and there—with nothing certain as to time anywhere.” Which leads the Charles- ton Daily Mail to suggest that “the poor fish cannot get up an hour ear- lier unless the clocks are turned up an hour. They call it daylight sav- ing. It saves no daylight. What the daylight savers wish to accomplish is to get to work sooner, rush through with it, and then get more time to play. Let us have an end to making senseless gestures.“ posite view, howeve the Schenectady Gt sists that “it may daylight llvenl 1 ly a permanent insti- tution, and fhe sooner al! the people agree on using a distinctive summer time system the more convenience there will be for all.” And the Wash- ington plan has the indorsement of the Spokane Sportsman Review, which recalls that “if a man wants to start the an -hour edrlier he is at 1ib- erty to do 80, and no act of Congress s needed to ratify his decision.’ A Theater Dictatorship. The Producing Managers’ Associa- tion, at a meeting in New York last ‘week, discussed the question whether the theatrical field should have a‘na- tional supervisor, with somewhat the same drastic power as is held by Will Hays in the motion picture world or Judge Landis on the base ball dia- mond. The question deserves a very thor- ough consideration. The theatrical ‘world is not quite on & par with that of the movies or of base ball.’ The elusive quality or gift of genius is so deeply involved in theatrical progress —or at least ought to be—that a = preme dictatorship might result in a | very injurious cramp on that progress.
