THE EVENING STAR e With Sundsy Moning Bditler. WASHINGTON, D. C. FRIDAY .......Janusry R4, 1030 —_—_— THEODORE W. NOYES. , . . Editor & ¥ of the Assoc ted Press is c: publical &f 4nd 7 ARl Tights herein gre Press. ively entitled 21l news ois- wige cred- et Moscow Again in Mischief. Soviet Russig i not having an easy time in its diplomatic relations with those countries whieh have recognized the Moscow governmept and exchanged Tepresentations with it, It is sgain in stress at London, where yecently rels- tions were resumed upon the renewal of the Laborite comtrol of the British administration, It i5 also in stress at Mexico City, where orders have just Been issued to close the Mexican em- bassy at Moscow. Both of these diffi- culties arise from the persistence of the Communist propagsnds inspired by the Moscow syndicate of radicals, who con- stitute both the governmental adminis- tration and the controlling organism of the Communist party. 2 Russia was readmitted 8’ diplomatic Telations with Gueat Britain ypon the basis of assurances that radical propa- gands would not be conducted in that country. Nevertheless, there has been & renewal of the activities of the Com- munist agitators in England. A newly established Communist paper printed in London, styled the Daily Worker, has accused the Labor government of Great Britain of “anti-Soviet activities, colo- nial brutalities and preparstions for another imperialist was.” This was fn the form of & message from the Third International at Moscow. The foreign secretary informed the Soviet Ambassa- dor—this developed in the course of inguiry and answer in the House of Commons the other gay—that such s publication was calculated “to imperil Telations between the two countries.” Unfortunately, the debate in the House of Commons on the subject was not carried to the point of disclosing definitely whether the goyernment holds the Moscow administration responsible for the utterances and activities of the Third International. That, however, is the implication. If that is the fact and “the Communist discussions and Propagandist work in England continue, & fresh breach of diplomatic relations and ag=inst thé persom of the Presi- dent-elect, recently on tour in the United States.

Admiral By tatement carried in Mr. Owen’s dispateh is more reassuring. He believes the chances for getting back throygh the ice are one hundred to one. No ship, Admiral Byrd says, has ever been stuck in the ice so late But if the Cjty of New York is stuck, Admirsl Byrd believes they will be able to get the City of New York and the party back, ‘Within the next three weeks the story should ke told. ——————— Snow Removal. Congressional eriticism has been di- reeted at the condition of the Washington streets following the snow and freeging weather of the past few days. Senator Kean, in the Senate, and Representa- tive Treadway, in the House, charge that sutomobiles have remained parked in the piled-up ice near the curb since last Friday and that no real effort has been made satisfactorily to clean the eity. In answer to these charges, Maj. D. 'A. Davidson, Assistant Engineer Commissioner, has reported to the Com~ missiotfers that three hundred and fifty men wWere st work whem the asnow was yemovable; that freesing weather has made it impracticable to chop away all of the jce at the curb; that traffic moves freely and that the cost of whole- sale removal of ice and smow at the present time would be prohibitive. Washington, unfortunately, in the past has not created an enviable record for prompt attention to streets after snowfalls, although it might be peinted out in fairness that Jack of sufficient by the city at these times. In later yesrs the problem of cleaning streets and ecross-walks, especially in H sgg«.;;;gg 1 money is available to clean the streets. ‘Washingtonians, in their turn, will see to it that promptness and efficlency shall mark the efforts of city officials in utilizing the tools that are thus provided. —_———— Arctie explorers might be cheered if pictures were forwarded to them of snow scenes in this region together with pic tures of the struggles of those ill-pre- pared to meet the conditions, Unbusinesslike Government. ‘While the prodigality of Chicago, leading to virtual bankruptcy, has held public sttention lately, it is by no means the only case of bad business manage- ment on the pert of American govern- mental establishments. It is merely a spectacular revelation of the disposi- tion to ignere the principles of cerrect administration that prevails almost throughout the country. ‘There is scarcely a State government that is not other governments. —rate Vanity is a trait often found in the underworld, but 1t looks as if Al Capone had at last made a sincere effort to Tetire to private life. —ene Beyond the Ice Pack. Russcll Owen's dispatch from the Byrd party, printed elsewhere in today’s Star, is a frank statement of the situs- tion that now imperils Admiral Byrd end kiz company of forty-two explorers, marooned on the wrong side of an ice pack four hundred miles wide near the bottom of the world. The dispatch contains no hint of hysteria, but it reflects no great op- timism. If the City of New York does not succeed in forcing its way through the pack and taking aboard the ex- plorers, another year in Little America 1s in prospect. Food supplies and other necessities were not destined to last that long, but penguins, seals and whales might be counted upon to keep the men at least alive. That bleak picture, however, is not ready for emphasis yet. There is still ® chance that the City of New York will get through, i pot under her own power, with the assistance of other shipe, and that the return of thie party to New Zealand will be accomplished as plan- ned. Mr. Owen describes the circumstances that have done 8o much to threaten the carefully laid plans of the Byrd party. There have been two unususl “ice 50 loosely or so badly organized and operated that it is costing far in excess of need and is rendering consequently less than normal service to the people. Similarly, eity management in the United States, save in a few instances, is notoriously extravagant and, eom- pared with business management, in- efficient. Recently revelations have been made on this score in the State of New Jersey, where a disposition prevalls to clean house in the State government. ‘The governor, in cosoperation with the audit and finance committee of the Legislature, has retained a private or- ganization specializing in the study of public administration for & survey of what has been formally called the “so- called system of government” in vogue in that State. The report of the insti- tute has just been made public, recom- mending a sweeping revision of the whole State government structure, in- cluding the regrouping of all boards, agencies and commissions into fourteen | bureaus. The inquirers found that the administrative portion of the govern- ment now consists of twenty-two inde- pendent officials, seventy-two boards and commissions, with & total of more than five hundred members, and twenty other agencles. The total number of persons represented in these boards and commissions is greater than that in the Congress of the United States, and of the whole group only the governor is an elected official. The institute states: It & private corporation spending ' | Perth Amboy. of thirty-two buresus and offices Which, | Proieor’; THE EVE G $75,000,000 & year in the operation of m'g\o:‘l-.wmmwllun ?mw%wmmuu jew Jersey operates, it would go bank- Fupt ;gth State, wlg untold Tresources in the form of taxable assets, is better able to afford waste, extrava- gance, inefficiency and mismanagement. In illustration of the looseness of the financial system, the investigators found | g that the State treasurer had $33,836,~ 132 of the State’s money in cash in 462 banks in Trenton, Paterson, Jersey City, Newark, Atlantic City, Cemden and ‘They aiso found that under the law, werg allowed to keep not more than on hand for petty cash, one had a $50,000 petty cash drawer, twenty-five had considerably mere than $300 and several had sums ranging from $1,000 to $7,000. In all Jikelihood, if the State were to go into liquidation, as private cor porations sometimes do, avith @ strict supervision in the fina] accounting, the Commonwealth would be found to he hopelessly involved. The investigators state that “there is no central account- ing to speak of, the so-called system is scarcely worthy of the name, end unified tax administration is al- most totelly lacking.” In all likelihood this same picture could be painted in the main in almost any State in the Union, for the State governments of this eountry have, like Topsy, “just growed.” The Federal Government is, indeed, in some respects & sorry mixture of methods end proe- esses. The overlapping of departmental and bureau jurisdictions, the duplica- tion of effort in different branches of the administration, have beep the sub- jeet of ted endeavors at reform. It s lently believed that material €conomies could be effected by the cut- ting down of working forces under a businesslike rearrangement and co-or- dination of the Federal forees, But, as the investigators in New Jer. sey point out, the enormous taxable re- sources of the State permit these ex- travagances and unbusinesslike methods and thus they are tolerated. —————— ‘Talking pictures do not find the world- wide appreciation of the silent films.

The nl‘i clan was Dr. George Samuels of pleby, near Nacogdoches, who had prac- ticed in his locality for 52 years. The incident is one which attests the reality of the understanding of news possessed by the papers which so ur" the item. The memories of most of us go back to the era of the country doctor, the family physician or the general practitioner, institutions of great worth which have almost totally d.lufpnred under the avalanche of Specializing which has filled the world of medicine. There are few general practitioners left. Dr. Samuels, whose 52 years of practice spanned the era between the frontier and modern times, was a vet- eran of veterans.
