Convention Hall Needed.
washington. to be a world city. must
have a great convention hall suited for
International and national conventions Of
the highest dignity and Importance.
Through this agency and the hospitality
and confratcrnity which I have already
mentioned it will become. more than any
other capital in the world. the seat of
international conventions and gatherings.
For all the world is only too ready to
come to this new land and study its
problems and institutions, if Washington
possesses the facilities for extending such
hospitality.
Congress and the people of Washing
ton should work together to develop.
without delay. it's parks and bOulevards
systems to the fullest extent of their pos
sibilities. There should be a complete
connected boulevard and park system
reaching entirely around the National
Capital.
Never will it be possible to make the
! surroundings of our great national
buildings and their approaches beautiful
unless there is created an architectural
i commission which, shall. have power to
pass upon the general style of archi-
| lecture of public and private buildings.
Such authority rests in some board in
nearly every other important capital of
the world. Washington must come to it
or become more ugly rather than more
| beautiful.

national forest or park reserve between
Washington and Baltimore will aid great
