Representative Simmons of Nebraska, eddressing the House yesterday on the District appropriation bill, turned his review of the water and water rate question into an attack on The Btar, eancluding with the declaration: “All in all, it appears to me that The Eve- ning Star's presentation of the water situation could well be called the 1930 edition of the Comedy of Errors.” As one instance of misrepresentation attributed to The Star by Mr. Sim- mons the following lengthy paragraph 18 quoted in the bellef that if it is typleal of the distinguished gentleman's general understanding of the water question, there is little reason further The Star also quotes Capt. Oram a& e cauity. 51 833 540000 11 has an y_of ,540, m:lu o Why do they not r system. y tell the whole truth to the people of Washington? Washington has invested from its osenenl fund in the water sys- tem $9,082, from the ,346.53. This sum is taken meral fund, to which the Shgl has contributed both on the 50-50 and 60-40 plan, so it does even represent a payment of that amount by the taxpayers of Wash- ington. The United States has invested out of the Federal Treasury and ex- elusive of contributions to the District gen fund $10.931,923.97. earnings of the water s been invested in the water ,457,977.26. Now then, to 3,540,000 for Wash- water delivered cussed this other point of view, with which it does not agree. It has not mis- represented the figures. A discussion of other matter over which Mr. Simmons finds fault with The Star's accuracy appears -elsewhere in the news columns today. Merely Consultation. ‘The suggestion that the American delegation to the Naval Conference in London is willing to consider the draft of ‘a “consultative pact,” involving the United States with the four other na- tions attending the conference, has created an immediate stir among the old “irreconcilables” of the Senate, There are indications, too, that Demo- cratic opposition in the Senate may de- velop to such a plan. In view of the Democratic adherence in the past to the entrance of the United States into the League of Nations covenant the latter may appear somewhat surprising. The statement recently issued by the American delegation, headed by Secre- tary Stimson, which declared the will- ingness of the Americans to consider a consultative treaty which in no way should bind this country to anything beyond consultation in the event of in- ternational differences arising, seems clear enough. But the opposition now developing takes the view that if the United States goes to the length of con- sulting under such circumstances, it must also take up arms. The United States in 1917 was not a party to & consultative pact similar to that now proposed for the five nations at the conference table. Yet in 1917 this country became involved in the greatest war of history. This is & mat- ter which the isolationists sometimes overlook in the violence of their argu- ments. The interests of this country and of the people of America today are world-wide. That is & fact which all the isolationist doctrine in the world cannot refute. The United States is definitely interested in the peace of the world. Yet the isolationists are at pains to have the United States take no part in & “consultative pact” which might aid in maintaining peace. ‘There is no assurance yet that the United States will be definitely called upon to enter into such a pact. At present the British, French and Italians are considering the draft of a treaty which shall grant a further measure of security not only to France but to all hich | other nations now members of the League of Nations. The British are represented in news dispatches as being willing to go into such an sgreement, provided the United States will enter & consultative pact with the nations now meeting to limit naval armaments in the event of international differences which threaten war. This country is not to be asked to take part in the so- called security treaty. The American delegation has repeat- edly made it clesr that this country is not to give political commitments, which might lead this country into European sonflicts. That is a determination which will be backed by the American people. But admittedly this country favors the settlement of international disputes throygh consultation and without re- sorting to war. Under such circum- .| stances it does not do violence to the of the United States District engineer, Maj. Brehon Somervell. To obtain these figures the auditors studied all available -appropriation bills, beginning with one ‘4n 1819 and down to the deficiency bill March, and took from each one appropriations for the water plant. Until 1880 the United States built and maintained the water plant. After 1880 appropriations for the water plant, made from the general fund, or District ef Columbia bill, were divided between the United States and the District—first on the basis of 50-50; then 60-40 and lat- terly in whatever proportion was repre- sented by the lump sum allotment to the District bill. In 1889, for instance, under fifty- fifty, the appropriation for water plant Was $575,000. The auditors therefore credit the United States with an invest- ment for that year of $287,500 and & Mke amount for the Distriet. In 1928, under sixty-forty, the appropriation for the aqueduct was $1,500,000. The suditors credit the United States with an investment of $600,000, or 40 per cent, and the Distriet with an invest- ment of $900,000, or 60 per cent. In 1924¢—the calendar year that the lump sum took effect—the appropriation was $1,500,000, of which the United States was credited with an investment of $464,455.70, or 31.083 per cent of the “total expenses of the District” and the District with an investment of $1,08¢,~ 844.30, or 68.97 per cent. Por Mr, Simmons to say that the total United States investment of $10,- 931,923.97 is “exclusive of contributions to the District Treasury general fund” s inaccurate. The figure includes every contribution the United States made to the water system through the general fund, as well as other appropriations for the water plant. ‘To state that the District investment figure $9,082,346.53 “does not even rep- Tesent a payment of that amount by the taxpayers of Washington” is equally ncorrect. ‘The language of the appro- priation bilis miskes that plsin—'that the half of the following sums named, respectively, is hereby sppropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropristed, and the other half out of the revenues of the District of Columbia,” phraseology subsequently changed under sixty-forty, but dontin- uing the same principle of fixed ratio. Capt. Oram and The Star include as District equity in the water system the $14,457,977.26 contributed in water rents and main assessments by District real estate owners. This money was used 1n constructing the supply and distribu- systems. It is therefore a capital t. It was paid by District. tax- fust as desires of the people of the United States to provide for consultation. Yet that js precisely what the isolationists are protesting against. ‘The United States is a party to & four-power Pacific treaty which grew out of the Washington Naval Confer- ence. That treaty provides for con- sultation between the United States, Great Britain, Prance and Japan in the event of any disputes srising between the signatories out of any Pacifie ques- tion pnd involving the rights of these nations in relation to their possessions in the Pacific. The treaty goes further and declares that “the high contract- ing parties shall communicate with one another fully and frankly in order to arrive st an understanding as to the most efficient measures, to be taken jointly or separately, to meet the exigencies of the particular situation.” This treaty has been effective for eight years. It has not drawn the United States into war, and is calculated to prevent war. It is the same treaty which was attacked by Senator Borah and others among the “irreconcilables" of the Senate when it was presented for ratification. It goes much further in fts content than any consultative pact which might be drafted in London. And it involves all of the nations now meeting at London except Italy. It is argued that the United States has possessions in the Pacific but none in the Mediterranean and- none in Europe, as a reason for adherence to the Pacific treaty and opposition to a eonsultative pact drafted at the London Conference. Yet who would say that any effort to interfere with American trade in Europe and with the rights ef Americans in European uations would not immediately bring the United States into strenuous dispute? B Moter cars are beginning to look old- fashioned, but Dr. Eckener cannot be expected to bring along a special dirigible to carry him on s tour of investigation relative to suitable landing flelds. s Continuous Crime. Giuseppe Piraino, better known &8 “The Clutching Hand,” was executed yesterday in Brooklyn for the offense of trespassing upon the territery ef other alcohol racketeers. He had been tried and condemned at a meeting, and was shot as he was returning through the streets. A little later Joseph Florino was arrested on suspicion of participat- ing in the executian. When the poliee came to compile the records of the dead man snd the accused they found an interesting sequence in each case. Here is the record ef Piraine: ol I it R By years in : and sentenced to 25 1 4 uitted, Janml:qlllmm for murder; dischi Qetober 13, tive while ‘m by detec- | book March 14, 1928—Arrested for hit-and- s slayer, is as follows: ary 9, 1018—Assault; discharged. 1 1919—Assault; 28, 1919—Assault and robbery; ; dischi 3 house in Sing Court of Appeals; never retried.

Look into any medicine cabinet and the chances are that you will find at least half a dozen razors of the safety type, some new, some old and some older. . The great marts of the world reflect this ceaseless search. Right now the , advertising air is filled with new razors, with the prospects that still newer ones will be put on the market shortly. No man is ever satisfied with his ra- gor, He may regard his wife as perfect, his children as unequaled—except upon occasion—his motor car all that an au- tomobile should be, but if you probe deep enough into-his private opinions the chances are that you will discover that he secretly hopes to find for him- self a better shave. ¥ This eternal discontent “makes for vast ribbons of steel turned into safety razor blades every year.
