THE WALSH OUTGIVING

Frank Walsh, chairman of the

declared in speech delivered in
New York that there would be no
unemployment problem in the United
States if the Supreme Court restored
to the. public property stolen from
it by the great corporations of the
country. Perhaps Mr.. Walsh is
right. The theory upon which the
statement was based is an old one
as old, indeed, as the history OF
Socialism. Coming from Socialist
orator, such remarks would not be
surprising, but coming from Mr.
Walsh they are not calculated to in,

tainly more palatable than is the
starchy portion of the grain which
sifts through the cloth in the bolt

ion taken up by an unthinking pub
lie and retained for the same reason
that notches in collars, buttons on

for no reason at all.
When the boiling process was first
invented only the well-to-do could
afford white bread. For the sake of
being exclusive and indulging more
or less snobbish desire they were
willing to put tax on their d.
gestive apparatus. With this ex-
ample set them it was not hard for
the near-rich to persuade themselves
that the new -four tasted better than
the old, and before long the new
fashion had even crowded into the
humblest kitchens. The result was
that the mills almost stopped turn.

to offer her guests the good brown

Mr.. Morgan assured the President
that there was no violation, of the
neutrality of this country. It, is
difficult to see how there could pos
sibly be. In any ordinary time, such
a transaction would be the most reg
ular, legitimate, and desirable sort
of business. Why the existence of a
state of war should make any differ

whole business world needs the sup.

NO BREAD FAMINE

A few nervous persons may have
been in need of the recent assurance
of the Department Of Agriculture Of
ficials that "bread famine" in this
country was virtually impossible,
but with characteristic American
optimism most of our ninety millions
Of men and women took it for
granted that $1.40 wheat is far from
being a harbinger of a stringency in
sandwiches.
Bread is still the staff of life, but
with the advance in agricultural and
transportation methods it has lost
something of the prestige it once
held on the dinner table. The
scriptural truth that "Man lives not
by bread alone" is true in more
sense than one. In the. early days
when vegetables from gardens less
than a days journey distant were
unknown. when refrigeration was q
meaningless term, and before pat
ented breakfast foods from a score
of different sources were introduced
bread, molasses, and home cured
meats were the foundation stones
Of the whole dietary system. Today
on many tables the bread plate is
seldom passed.

JOHN A. JOYCE

Few men in Washington were
more widely known than Col. John
A. Joyce, poet and philosopher, who
at the age Of seventy-two, and after
a half century of residence here, is
dead. He was a picturesque figure
always; native of Ireland, Ken.
tuckian in his youth, a soldier OF
the Union who served with honor to
himself and was discharged because
of wounds in battle, after he had
won commission.
1t was as a poet who only barely
missed a real place in literature,
that he was most noted; poet OF
love and sunshine and happiness; an
eternal optimist who wanted to
make the world brighter, and to get
some of the brightness shed on
everybody.

RUSSIAN CREDIT DEAL


call at the White House yesterday,
is reported to have discussed with
the President the recent arrange
ments between American bankers
and the Russian government, for
creating Russian credit account
in this country.
Russia is in need of great amounts
of supplies, which this country has
and wants to sell. Like all the war
ring nations, or for that matter the
nations at peace, Russia is trying
in every way to conserve her stock
of gold. She wants to make it go
as far as possible; and as her ma
tional credit is excellent, she has ar
ranged to have the American bank
ers establish fund against which
she can draw in paying for supplies.
Thus, at the end of the transaction,
the bankers would hold the notes or
other obligations of the Russian gov
ernment; the gold would have been
kept in this country; and Russia
| would have the supplies. So long as
the bankers are able to handle such
transactions, it would seem there
could be no possible objection to
them. In the long run, they must be
paid in cash or "trade," and the huge
volume of our foreign trade just now
makes apparent that sooner or later
such transactions must turn grea,
! tide of gold in this direction. We car

THE COAST GUARD

For the past two years officials
Of the Revenue Cutter Service and OF
the Life-Saving Service; the Assist
ant Secretary in charge of these d.
visions; Secretary Of the Treasury
McAdoo, and others familiar with
the administration of these Govern
ment services, have. urged almost
prayerfully the creation of Coast
Guard, combining the two existing
branches. The work Of these divi-
sions is haloed with the romance of
rescue at sea land the bravery of
men who for decades have braved
every peril of the widest coast
storms. They are serving the same
end, the rescue of American lives
and American property from storm
and catastrophe at sea and on some
of the inland waters.
In the annual report of the Reve-
nue. Cutter Service, made public yes
terday, creation of the Coast Guard
is urged as measure for economic
and efficient administration and for
better service.
In the report of the Life-Saving
Service, given to the public today,
Superintendent Kimball declares
that there seems but one remedy for
the rapid deterioration of the Life
Saving Service, and this remedy is
creation of the Coast Guard, insur-
ing retirement of venerable surfmen,
whose vitality has ebbed through
constant combat with the elements.
Legislation creating the Coast
Guard, approved by every executive
officer of the Government from the
President down, has passed the Sen.
ate. 1t is now before the House OF
Representatives, and there is some
assurance that it will be reported to.
morrow for action. BY all means let
it pass. If there is any legislator
not sufficiently familiar with the sub
ject to vote favorably on this meas
ure, let him but glimpse the urgent
appeals of the executive officers anc
the recommendations of the heads o1
both bureaus. How can a measure
that means the saving Of thousand.
Of human lives, the amelioration o.

He Wants Real Sunday Campaign
In Washington.

To the Editor Of THE TINES:
I have noticed that your paper has
devoted considerable space to Billy
Sunday recently. and that through your
efforts arrangements were made for
his short visit here. 1t was excellent
work in a good cause, and + want to
commend you for it. But why have
him TOR so short a period?
The fact that thousands OF people
were turned away from the doors or
the hall because there was not room To
accommodate them. seem to me a
rather convincing argument as to pun
lie sentiment here. Washington has a
population of approximately 35O.OnOs or
that number 5000 were allowed the
privilege of hearing Mr.. Sunday speak
yesterday. There are ten times that
number in this city who would be glad
OF an opportunity to hear this great
evangelist, ! am sure, and they should
be given that opportunity.

weeks or ten days, why can't the Ma
tional Capital have him for at least
two or three weeks?

AN EXTRA SESSION.

The Senate Democrats, called m
to caucus to outline a program on
which they could agree in handling
the Presidents ship purchase bill,
resolved in favor Of rural credits
Legislation at the earliest possible
moment, and then went home. Such
is in effect the statement given out
after the caucus, which, of course,
was behind closed doors. Some mys-
terry surrounded the affair, because
there was no adequate explanation
of the reasons for dropping the
measure on which the President has
been insisting, and taking up one
which in his message he declared it
would be impossible to handle at this
session.
Disaffection with the ship purchase
plan has been growing for a long
time. Coincidentally, 'the demand
for rural credits legislation has been
getting so Strong that it is giving
political worry to public men of al!
parties. There is good reason for
the Presidents opinion that the diff
ficulties of the rural credits propo-
sition make it doubtful if action on
it is possible at this session. Most
of the discussion of the subject
among public men indicates that
they have a very inadequate concep-
ton of what is most desired and
needed. Thus, there is constant al
lusion to the necessity for establish
ing land-mortgage banks, as if those
institutions would represent the full
measure of rural credit needed;
whereas students of the subject are
far less interested in the creation
of land-mortgage institutions than ir
the establishment of small institu'
tions to mobilize, consolidate, and
liquefy the credits of individual
farmers entirely aside from thei,
landed possessions. So long as the
discussions of the subject seem di
rected to getting the kind of legis
lation that is least needed, and give
no thought to the measures most ir
demand, it is reasonably to be sait
that to produce satisfactory results
at this session is going to be yer!
difficult.
i If the rural credits resolution wa
adopted as a means to stave off th'
ship purchase measure, and if tn,
President shall insist nevertheless
that the ship bill must be pushed t.
passage now, it is very likely that 1
jam will result that may prevent &C
complishment in either direction a
the present session. This is exactl,
what recent, developments suggest
Despite all urgencies, Congress ha
been proceeding with wonderful
moderation about the big legislativ
program for which only six week
remain of the present session. T
fail of reasonably good showing
at least of intention to satisfy tn
President, will be to invite him t
!. call an extra session; and there i
every reason to believe that he ca
stand the experience as complacent
ly as can Congress.

Mandate to Deliver Thaw

Thursday, according to the estimates of
court officials today. Reports that Will

mandate sooner are disbelieved as such
requests are seldom granted unless both
sides consent, which would mean that
unless Thaw's attorneys ask for the
mandate it whl not be handed down

After the issuance OF the mandate, II
