Generally speaking, the Senate Committee’s consideration of the bill this year was guided by the primary thought of maintaining the strict econ- omy represented in the Budget Bureau and House recommendations. But the Senate Committee, having the benefit of careful analysis by municipal offi- eials and local citizens of the direct results in some municipal agencies of the heavy reductions ordered by the Budget Bureau and the House, sought changes that would modify obviously undesirable effects. The Benate yes- terday approved the work of its com- !llm: i:pmm'd time. It is believed that the House and Senate differences ean and will be reconciled without un- doing the remedial work represented in Benate changes. There have been no demands from local citizens or from the municipsl officials who testified before the Sen- ate committee that there be radical changes in the bill largely to increase total appropriations or to upset the President’s economy program in any degree. In those cases where larger actual outlays for municipal improve- ment and construction have been rec- ommended by the Senate the local tax meney to finance the projects is avail- able, without any increased drain on the Federal Treasury. If this money 48 not appropriated it will merely le idle and earmarked in the Treasury, denying men the opportunity to work and indefinitely delaying necessary Jocal undertakings. In those cases where the Senate has inserted legis- lative amendments in the bill the pur- pose has not been to increase expenses, but merely to permit a greater lati- tude to local officials in trying to make their limited funds cover the greatest amount of territory. The increase recommended by the Senate in the Federal contribution falls by a quarter of & million dollars to ipcrease the sum even to the level recommended and approved by the| House last Winter. The lump sum has not only been drastically reduced be- low previous totals, but is still reduo.dl below previous House recommenda- tions. The Senate recommendation that the District be allowed to postpone next years million-dollar repayment of park and playground purchase ad- vances merely extends to local tax- payers the same privilege that the National Government has already as- sumed in its own behalf. It recognises that economy demands have halted the program of park and playground de- ‘velopment for the time being, and that money ordinarily avallable for such development must now be diverted to other and more pressing uses. ‘The District bill is still an emergency Mill, framed to meet existing extraor- dinary conditions and setting no prece- dents. It is to be hoped that the House conferees will approach its considera- tion with the idea of making the strict retrenchment program represented in the bill's provisions not only as easy a8 possible for local taxpayers to bear, but in shape to inflict & minimum of Injury upon the city’s vital municipal functions and upon the Capital’s ade- quate maintenance and essential de- velopment. Argument about the right to hold onto privately owned gold shows an academic inclination to bring up more or less obstruse ethical considerations when immediate action is required. The fact that a man owns a bucket of water does not usually prevent him from passing it along'in case of fire. An Economic Armistice. On the eve of the London Naval Limi- tation Conference three years ago Signor Dino Grandi, then foreign minister of Itely, proposed that the five partici- pating powers agree upon a naval holi- day for one year, to cover the full dura- tion of the conference. During that period no new warship construction was to be launched. Signor Grandi’s purpose was to create an appropriate “atmos- phere” for the five-power ‘attempt to curtail expenditure on sea armaments. The project was approved, snd tools were downed accordingly in the ship- yards of America, Britain, Japan, France and Italy. Last Saturday Norman H. Davis, 18 in session, not only any new tariffs or quotas on imports, but also from granting direct rect subsidies given with a mote “dumping” or ta affo tionals speclal advantages in foreign markets. Prompt acceptance of the Amerjcan scheme—which leaves the way open for the world’s sincerity of purpose in pool- ing its consolidated wisdom and good will be in the international war against depression. “In my judgment,” said Sec- retary of State Hull before the Ameri- can Society of International Law on Saturday night, “the destiny of history points to the United States for leader- ship in the present terrifying crisis.” Pracident Roosevelt's initiative in in- viting spokesmen of all the powers to confer with him in Washington, now followed by America’s proposal of a tariff truce, is proof that the United States does not shrink from the leader- ship to which Secretary Hull alludes. It is gratifying to the American people that the world seems ready for the cap- taincy that is offered from Washington, B Student Pacifism Growing. There is little cause for gratification in the first returns revealed by the National Student Federation of Amer- fca from its war service poll among college and university students. Defl- nite conclusions cannot yet be drawn, because the figures thus far available cover only twenty-six institutions these early figures shows that of more than eleven thousand ballots received more than five thousand recorded that those who cast them would not go to war under any circumstances, while only some three thousand declared their readiness to fight at the coun- try’s call, no matter what the condi- tions. Others indicated varying de- grees of willingness or unwillingness. ‘The impression is inescapable that pacifist sentiment is on the march across the college campuses of the country, Evidently the movement, which had its inception in England earlier in the year at Oxford, has spread rapidly in the United States. The Oxford Unlon, celebrated univer- sity organization, voted overwhelmingly “that this house will in no circum- stances fight for king and country.” American undergraduates were asked to express themselves pro or con the same idea. To what extent our young men and women have been influenced by Oxford cannot be estimated. But there is no gainsaying the fact that the college mind is trending to pacifism on a scale little realized heretofore. In nearly all cases the poll discloses similar results. At Columbia, Colgate, Massachusetts State College, Vassar, College, University of Cincinnati, Beth- any College, Wellesley, Smith, Wesleyan College at Macon, Ga.; Ohlo Wesleyan, West Virginia State College and Tulane University the margin of votes in favor circumstances was considerable. In a few cases, like Colgate, Vassar, Cin- cinnati, Wellesley and Massachusetts State, the preponderance of ballots against fighting, no matter what the cause, was overwhelming. No figures were obtainable from Har- vard, where a poll is yet to be taken. The National Students’ Federation meantime announces that at a student meeting at the college, at which votes were not tabulated, the Oxford resolu- tion was supported. At Princeton, only twenty-six votes, all for no participa- tion in war under any circumstances, were collected, because posters asking for votes were torn down. At the Col- lege of the City of New York the faculty forbade a vote. Lovers of their country, believers in peace—but peace by preparedness— will derive from this college poll at least the satisfaction of knowing that Ameri- can campus life has not yet entirely gone pacifist. Everywhere there is a patriotic minority of not unsubstantial size, ready to proclaim its willingness to bear arms in the hour of the Na- tion’s emergency. Upon these young men and women rests a responsibility they are not likely to shirk—to labor unceasingly to see that national unpre- paredness does not become the obsessing creed of the rising generation of our youth, from whose ranks the Repub- lic’s future leaders in peace, as well as war, must be recruited. Recently a reader of The Star in a letter published on this page justified the anti-war spirit among college stu- dents on the ground that they are merely identifying themselves with the spirit of the Kellogg pact, which pledges the nations to renounce war as an in- strument of national policy. But the chief author of the pact, former Secretary of State Frank B. Kellogg, has more than once pointed out that nothing in it calls upon its devotees to renounce that obligation, sacredly incumbent upon all true patriots, to defend their country in the hour of need. Those American col- lege men and women who unblushingly avow their refusal to bear arms for the United States “under any eircum- stances” are false, not true, to the underlying principle of the Kellogg pact. vt A “Hyde Park” for Washington. Ever since the leader of a band of workless people who came to Washing- ton on a “march” thirty-nine years ago was prevented from delivering an address on the steps of the Capitol efforts have been made by proponents of legislative plans for the amelioration of the sorrows of the unemployed to secure & forum in this city for their appeals and arguments. Thus far no ‘American representative on the Organ- ising Committee of the World Economic Conference, served notice on that body, meeting in London, that when the cons ference opens there on June 12 the United States intends to propose a tarift truce. It is understood that the Ameri- ©can suggestion is really for rather more than a tariff truce, and that it might more accurately be described as a pro- posal for an economic armistice. What Americs here puts forward for the con- sideration of sixty nations aims to ac- ‘complish the same atmospheric object sought by the Grandi naval holiday plan of 1929-1930. It seeks to make the world safe for tariff peace at least ‘while the peoples are engaged in what accommodations for them have been provided, though from time to time they have made demonstrations rgore or less in force, as during the bdnus march period of last year. Now comes the veteran of the 1894 affair with a plea for the use of the steps, and, fail- ing that rostrum, for permission to use the caucus room of the House of Representatives. His request has been granted and he will speak tonight. Why should there not be an estab- lished place for such forensic efforts here at the Capital? London has its Hyde Park, where orators are constantly engaged in delivering their arguments, protests, appeals and denunciations. The speakers provide their own plat- Benator Borah calls “another supreme effort” to put the international house in order, By the terms of the Davis proposal the world governments will ‘'be asked to sgree to abstain, while the conference forms, which are usually no more than the traditional “soap box” of the curb- stone orator.
