C., WEDN PICTURES CONTINUOUS PARK, GREAT FALLS TO ALEXANDRIA Chairman of Fine Arts Commission Gives Illustrated Lecture Under Auspices of Arlington County Federation. "ANS E LL Special Dispateh td The Star. CHERRYDALE, Va., January 2 A great, continuous park from Great Falls to Alexandria was pictured by Charles Moore, chairman of the Com- mission of Fne Arts, in the course of an illustrated lecture on “Washing- ton and Park Extension Plans’” de- livered here last night at the school auditorium, under auspices of the Arlington County Civic Federation. A large audience of citizens from {all sections of the county crowded the auditorium. Clarence R. Aphalt president of the clvic federation, In- troduced the speaker, and at the close of his addrees, thanked him in the name of the association. “Is the conception too flne, too grand?” asked Mr. Moore. “It is in- deed the finest and grandest concep- tion we can contemplate today. If it were not the American people would have none of it. Tomorrow something finer and grander may oc- cur. Then the American people will demand that finer and grander thing. They are determined to make their capital the finest city imaginable. Having so determined, who is going to stop them?" Appeals to Civic Pride. Chairman Moore made a personal appeal to the pride of the residents of Arlington county, declaring that {while the¢y are no longer under the jurisdiction cf Congress, nevertheless [ they are bound to the federal city by ties stronger than legislative enact- ments. “Can_you proud Virginians as you are tolérate being the backyard of Washington?” asked the lecturer. “Ought _you not rather to aspire to be the front garden?” Mr. Moore discussed at length the proposed plans for the Arlington me- morial bridge, the various approaches to the new Key bridge, declaring that the future of Arlington county is ington, and that is not so} chimerical as it might seem. The speaker said at the outset that his remarks had no official sanction. and were to be accepted only in so far as they might be approved hereafter by competent study made on the ground. He outlined the original | ceding of territory to the federal government, and the steps whereby the Virginia portion across the ?D- tomac voted Itself back into the Vir- ginia commonwealth in 1846. ¥From that day to the present, Chairman Moore said, the act of re- trocession has been lcq_u(nsced in, although from time to time doubts as to its constitutionality have been expressed in highest constitutional quarters. Discussion of Boundaries. “The practical matter now Is as to the boundaries of the District, in view of the dredging going on in the Potomac by means of which work large areas of solld land are being creat adjacent to the Virginia shore,” he continued. “This new made land is District of Columbia, stnce the District line goes to )Ilgl! water mark on the Virginia shore.” Mr. Moore then declared that “the Potomac river, as it flows through the National Capital, may flow through a continuous park from Great Falls to Alexandria.” He asserted that there should be a broad, tree-lined, well parked boulevard all the way to Mount Vernon, and that there should be another boulevard from the Key bridge to the driveway in front of Arlington national cemetery, and thence by s straight line to the High- way bridge, completing the circuit. “Something drastic should be done to provide access to all that beautiful country back of Fort Myer,” Mr. Moore said. The time has come, he continued, to plan far beyond the boundaries of the District that George ‘Washington laid out. Should Plan Outer Parks. “We must begin to plan for outer parks, such as Boston enjoys and Chicago is creating. such as are the crown and pride of London and Paris and Berlin and Vienna—large forest areas for recreation and health,” he said. The lecturer spoke against the proposition to sell Camp Humphrey, and instanced the “chicken houses that deface, degrade and belittle the entrance to Mount Vernon, all because no control was kept over the property opposite the gates,” he sald. Mr. Moore continued: “The Key bridge terminus in Rosslyn needs intelligent study. The first proposition was to build a loop for the Capital Traction Company and two separate terminal stations all on the restricted government reserva- tion. That reservation is nome too Miss | large for a flne and dignified bridge- head. The three trolley lines should unite in one terminal station built on their own property and having adequate facilities for the accom- modation of the public. It should be like the public service station in Newark, N. J. Washington will con tain a million people within the life- time of our childre: d no provision PROF. L. A. CLINTON DEAD.

Why should they not use the abandoned right of way and tracks along the highway in front of Arlington and return by way of the Highway bridge? That would give the territory about Rosslyn quick and ade- quate service to the center of Wash- ington. 1 have known the Capital Traction Company and its predecessor for more than thirty years. It is one of the best managed and most efficient street raflways in this country. Through good management it makes | money for its stockholders. 1 never knew it to balk at performing public service, and for some yedrs probably the suggested extension would not be profitable. But it would be highly adyantageous to Arlington county. The government road leading from the southeast corner of Arlington to the Highway bridge {s dangerous, ex- pensive and In appearance highly dis- creditable. Its tortuous course re- sembles nothing so much as a snake in pain. Tt should be straightened, widened and boulevarded, with four driveways, two fbr heavy traffic and two for lighter vehicles.” The boule- vards in Germantown, Philadelphla and those leading out of New York into Westchester county should be taken #s examples of treatment. Memorial Bridge in Limelight. _“The Memorial bridge, for which Congress has ordered plans to be pre- s once mare in the limelight of controversy. The plan of 1901 for the improvement of Washington located the bridge on a line drawn from the Lin- coln Memorial to the Mansion House at Arlington—Lincoln was to be related to the soldier dead. On that axls & location was fixed for a worthy me- morial to Robert E. Les, & name hon- ored throughout this broad land. That memorial should be as diguified as the man whom ft is to typify, as fine in design as his character was fine, as ample in its dimensions as was his great heart. Located on the ancestral lands of his children. it should forever link his name physically with the great Siruegle that gave him renown.- Al b in, v plnl’.;_ s 19515, are provided for in the “The bridge as now located by Arlington memorial bridge commissing will nocomplish more than this. 1t reat connection betw: Potomac Park and the systam of pacis heending along the Virginia bank of | the Potomac river from Great Falls to Alexandria, a series of parks in ex-| "passing any serles | Lt fice to obtain? = Whether the bridge shall have a draw or not is a minor matter. In the plan of 1901 « draw was provided . More than half of Chi. Cago cross drawbridges every day of their lives. and Chicago is well on the road to its goal as the finest, com. mercial city in the world, % - Trafie Conditio: “While it is true that traffic here, as elsewhere, has dwin. dled into "insignificance, the rail. way traffic has grown to emormous proportions. 1f Alexandria is not the gffle\\'ay to the west it is the gate- ay to the south, both for rallway and or motor traic. This requires good roads from the-Potomac to Richmond and to the Shenandoah valley, and 800d roads mean prosperity Yor the farmer and easy access to the home- builder. As for the railways, the time cannot be far distant when the lines running across the Potomac will be required to use electricity. for trains traversing the District of Co- lumbla. The smoke nulsance Js be- coming intolerable and . needless. That requirement would have been made twenty years ago had it not been for the fact that the railways were then making improvements far in advance of the needs of that day. For the same reason, Long bridge was replaced by two bridges designed for economy “and not at all for beauty. But those bridges were built while as yet Potomac Park was made up of mud and rank grasses, with a few willows to hold the soil. The bridges cannot last for many years longer and when rebuilt they will no longer disfigure the landscape, but will be well designed and construct- ed of permanent materials. Reason for Abandoning Site. “The criticlsm has been made in Congress that the construction of a huge, ugly powerhouse at the Wash- ington end of those bridges at an expense of some $700,000 to the gov- ernment has been stopped for esthetic reasons. The fact is that the con- tractors were forced to abandon that site because they could get founda- tions only at a cost that would have involved them in financial loss. But for that failure on the part of the engineers we should have today a monstrous, ugly powerhouse as the greeting of every person approach- ing Washington from the south. Is it strange that the people of the nation protested against such a need- leas desecration of their Capital city?” RITES FOR MRS.

T SEE IP DICTURE WAS TINISHED AND NOT TO BE SO SusPICIOUS REMENMPBERS WIFE HARDING MAY NOT WISH RE-ELECTION Discouraged by Lack of Party Team- work. FEELS CRITICS ARE UNFAIR State of Wife's Health and Fate of Ship Subsidy May Be De- termining Factors. BY FREDERIC WILLIAM WILE. Republican leaders who enjoy President Harding’s confidence be- lleve' he might refuse renomination | in 1924 if the decision had to be made today. They aro persuaded he at least emotions as to whether he ought to run for President a second time or not. Everything depepds upon the course of events during the com- paratively immediate future. Mrs. Harding's health is an important fac- tor. The fate of the ship subsidy is another. The attitude of the Senate toward the administration’s conduct of forelgn affalrs is still a third con- sideration. No one believes that Warren G. Harding, in any set of conditions, is enthusiastic about another term in the White House. His friends de- piot him as one of the most disil- lusioned of men. He has made no secret of that in his private and even in some of his public contacts. On the first anniversary of his presi- dency he said he felt like a man who had been burdened with the cares of the office for ten years instead of one. His hair is even whiter this winter than when he made that confession a vear ago: his political and personal worrles are immeasurably more on- erous. Cut by Criticism. Mr. Harding feels keenly that on the whole his critics, inside and outside of the republican party, have been “un- fair.” To the common charge that the President’s troubles are mainly of his own making—a reference to his re- fusal to indulge in big-stick leader- ship—the rejoinder is oftered that Mr. Harding was elected on a platform that called for executive non-inter- forence with Congress. There are eminent Americans who demanded a break with “Wilsonian czardom,” and who, having obtained it under War- ren G. Harding, now are in full cry at his heels on that account. That 1s a species of the unjust attacks of which, his friends claim, the President has been the victim. The thorn that pricks most in the Harding flesh is disloyalty within his own party. With a nominal repub- lican majority of twenty in the Sen- ate of the dying Sixty-seventh Con- gress, Mr. Harding is often as help- less as if it were a democratic ma- jority of those dimensions. He sees himself faced by a Senate contain- ing “men wearing the uniform of republicans,” as a prominent national leader describes them to this writer, but who are devold of any sense of party loyalty. Cousens an Example. James Couzens, Newberry's succes- sor in the Senate, is a case in point, and one of the newest cases. Mr. Couzens came to Washington the ap- pointee of & republican governor, to fill a regular republican senatotial seat. No one expected him supinely to wear the G. O. P. organization collar. But neither did the Presi- dent's supporters expeot, for instance, that Senator Couzens would let weeks elapse without paying his respects to the ofaial leader of his party. He ot have done so ye ™37 had not up o & fortnight ago. Then Senator Couzens announced he was against the ship subsidy, and Tefused. when labored with by re- publican leaders, to acknowledge any obligation to support it merely be- cause it was a major administration project. In the Senate cloakroom Mr. Couzens hobnobs with Senator Brookhart, sworn foe of the admin- istration. 'These observations do not directly reflect White House senti- ment. _They rather illuminate the view of Mr. Harding’s political lieu- tenants. They are stressed as typ- ical of the conditions which are sour- ing the President’s political outlook. The state of affairs will be even worse, from Mr. Harding’s standpoint, ‘when the Sixty-eighth Congress comes Into office. That body, from the ad- ministration’s _standpoint, with its merely paper réepublican majority. is expected to be balkiness personified. The White House contemplates its arrival with very mixed emotions. Elections Disappointment. No analysis of the President’s state of mind would be complete without allusion to his_disappointment over the November elections. Many of his intimates are convinced he looked upon.them as a “repudiation” of the Harding administration. Local causes in many states to the contrary not- withstanding, it has not been easy to convince the President that the result was anything but a reversal of the stupendous yaraln‘ vote of confl- denoe in 1920 If Mr. Harding signals during 1923 that he is ready-to accept renomina- TINDS THAT ©f PRE- TENDING TO LOOK AT \WALL HE CAN TOWOW FILM UN- DETECTED. is tossed between confilcting | ‘ PINDS WIPE 1 An appeal for the people of Japan to stand solidly behind their govern- ment in its desire to promote inter- national peace was’ sounded in the diet at Toklo yesterday by Premier Kato, whose address was made public here by the Japanese.embassy. The embassy also released a speech deliv- ered before the same body by Count Uchida, the foreign minister. Premier Kato pointed with pride to Jthe fact that Japan enjoys peace, Iwhfle most of the other powerful na- tions of the world are torn by Inter- nal and external strife. to improved conditions in the far east, to. the naval limitation treaty, and’ declared the Japanese govern- ment was doing all it could to help restore peace to those sections of the world which are still locked in dis- astrous wars. Stresses W gton Naval Pact. Count Uchida confined his address largely to the Washington naval pact, and called attention to the fact that Japan has already taken steps to put its provisions into effect, Great Brit- ain and the United States also hav- ing ratified the treaty. France alone has failed to attach the signatures that put it in force. Kato's The extract of speech follows: “Gentlemen, I deem it an honor as prime minister to lay before you & general statement of the government policies at this occasion, this being my first opportunity since the organi- zation of the cabinet at imperial com- mand. Allow me to begin with the consideration of our foreign relations. It is a matter for congratulation that our relations with other countries are steadlly growing in cordiality, and | this country—with due regard to its position and responsibilities in the world—is acting in concert with the other powers with a view to estab- lishing lasting peace. Europe’s Troubles Far From Settled. “The political situation In Europe is as yet unfortunately far from being settled, but in the far east affairs have recently improved. Conditlons in Russia have shown a gradual im- provement and in far eastern Russia the political situation has tended like- wise toward stabilization. According- ly. we have withdrawn our troops from Siberia and north Manchuria, completing withdrawal by the end of October last. This marks the termi- nation of our expedition to Siberla which was undertaken August, 1918, in co-operation with the allied and associated powers. It is. much re- gretted that during the existence of the Far Eastern Republic our ef- forts at Dairen and Changchung tor the resumption of commercial rela- tions with that country resulted in no agreement. “With regard to .China, a detailed Shantung treaty concluded at Wash- ington was recently signed, and the agreement for putting into effect the so-called Shantung question, the set- tlement of which was so long pro- tracted, has thus fortunately been concluded. I do not doubt that this termination of a difficult question be- tween the two countries will add greatly in an improvement in their relations, but it is a matter for deep regret that the political situation in China is lacking in stability, and it is ———————————— tion, in accord with time-honored tra- dition, it will be due to a realization on his part that any other course amounts to confession of his admin- istration’s failure. The President is not temperamentally a “scrapper.” But his admirers are sure that he would not shirk a conflict once he was aroused to understand that the country lhougl!t he was running away from a fight. More than one member of the cabinet who senses the unpopularity of the administration favors going down tling in 1924 with flags flyings rather than surrender of the ship without a struggle. That kind of counsel, there is reason to believe, Is reaching Mr. Harding amid his heartsearching. Whether it is im- pressing him is not so certain. Eyes on Johnson. . Administration leaders are watch- ing the maneuvers of Hiram Johnson with an eagle eye. The California senator's hope of becoming the heir to a Harding debacle—either volun- tary or forced—is notorious, Organi- zation republicans gaze with respect- ful interest upon Johnson's rather suc- cesaful feat of carrying political water on both lllouldm—'p::xreldvc of pro- gressives when the ical “golng” is good, especially in his natiye west, and a standpatter of stand patters while tariff bills and ship subsidies are up, or trains to be missed when votes to expel old guard senators are lmnr:mg,xlt. publican managers see a silver lin- ing to what they acknowledge is a John- son cloud of no mean size. They know Robert M. La Follette dislikes and mis- trusts the Calffornian and probably would mobilize the farm-labor forces of the northwest to Johnson's undoing at election time, if he should happen to be the republican standard bearer. All_these things are talked about and thought about in the presidential circle these drab days. Mr. Harding has been deeply distressed by his wife's long iliness. It may be he will feel the necessity of nursing her back to health, perhaps over a period of years, may impel him to think his duty, after March 4, 1925, is to her, instead of to a party that has nof surfeited him with devotion. An an- nouncement along these lines may become a piece of political history some sunny day. (Copyright, 1928.) 5 Premier Plea for International Peace Sounded by Japanese Premier, | Butler declared.

Acting 1n harmony with of respect | for ‘the spirit of the treaty, Japan has préceeded towards puiting its provisions into effect, thus demon- strating her sincer of purpose. “The surplue revenue yielded as a resuit of the limitation of armaments and by administrative financial re- adjustments will all be devoted to measures more in keeping with the times. Thus there will be an increase in the share which the state trensuey | Dbears of expenses of compulsory edu- catlon, and algo an increase of allot- ment 'for the extension of higher' educational institutions. There will| also be an increase in expenditures for riparian and harber works for the encouragement of industries, and for increasing pensions and allowances of bereaved families within the limits | of national revenues, and where such increases are unavoidable. In the light of the financial conditions now prevailing, it has been deemed wise to advance the dates for the redemp- tion of the national debt.” Accentuating Friendship. Count Uchlida, after speaking of the visit of the Prince of Wales last spring and of “our crown prince to | the British Isles in the previous year,” as accentuating the traditional friendship that has so long existed between our countries,” spoke, in part, as follows: 1 i “Our government, mindful of Ja-| | pan’s position as the preceding na- tion of the orient and one of the world's principal powers, should not only have constant regard for the country's rights and prosperity, but should be guided also by a desire to contribute toward a constructive pol- fey of international peace, which is the highest post-war mission of the | nations. On the one hand, it is our duty to co-operate with Great Britain, the United States, France, Italy and | other friendly nations, so as to en- hance our prestige, confirm our posi- tion, accelerate economic expansion, win’ our people abroad, thereby pro-| moting their welfare and happiness. | On the other hand, it is our duty to put forth our best efforts toward the stabilization of human affairs. Emphasizes Policy of Peace. “The Washington conference gave emphatic testimony to the fact that the policy of the powers is one of! peace. The government places the greatest importance upon this con- ference, not only because of concrete results, but because it lessens bur- dens and dissipates any anxiety thati existed among people and because of its achievement in developing under- standing and friendship among na- tions. The most notable is our rela- [tionship with Great Britain and fne United States which through the ‘con- ference has been put upon a still closer and surer foundation. In view of these achievements the government considered it best suiting the inter- jests of the country to see that the various treaties, and resolutions signed at the conference were speed- {ly put into force and no time wa lost in taking necessary measures for effecting the ratifications which took place in August last year. Both Great Britain and the United States have likewlse taken steps to ratify these agreements and it now remains only for France and Ttaly to do the same. I am confident thess powers will take similar action in the interest of world Dpeace. { 1 Discusses Ruhr Seisure. “The mnations of Kurope are troubled with many difficult ques- tions. Recently France, in co-opera- tion with Belglum, has deemed ft proper to take certaln action in the Ruhr district of Germany. This ac- tion may lead to a grave situation and the Japanese government, con- stantly mindful of the importance of peacé, is paying close attention to the development. | “Toward Russia Japan has always | followed the fundamental policy of | non-interference in international and political affairs.

BARE MINE VIOLATIONS | OF CHILD LABOR LAWS | | Department of Labor Investigators | Report Children Working and Conditions Insanitary. Studies made in typical mining areas, both bituminous and anthra cite, show wholesale violation of the child labor laws, maintenance of | illiteracy of working children, the ! children’s bureau of the Department | of Labor announced last night in a radio message. Many coal camps are literally in the | wild, the bureau sald. “Sometimes | the mountainsides and narrow val- | leys do not offer much space for build- | ings and the houses are crowded close together, but with as little sanitation as if the nearest neighbor was a mile | away. “Drainage empties into the valley stream, and from this stream comes drinking water, and, sometimes, ty- | phoid fever. The schools in the camps ! are often of rural type—one room, one | mentary grades.” The report adds that in one anthra- cite mining town out of every 1,000 babies born 187 died during the first | year of life. Half the boys, thirteen | to sixteen years of age. had ieft| school and gone to work in the min ing industry, the report added. Ever the fourteen-vear-age minimum of the state of Pennsylvania was being violated and hundreds of boys were being employed in the coal-mining in- dustry before they reached that age. - WHY did we sell our 400 used cars dur- ing 19227 WHY are the pur- chasers of these cars satisfied?
