Gravity Nulli6ed.

One OF the advantages of the dirigi-
BILE over the airplane is its ability to
"hover' or retain an approximately sta
tionary position in the air. The air
plane, being heavier than the air, must
be kept in motion to sustain itself 1t
appears, however, that even the airplane
can do some lowering in skillful hands
and in certain conditions. Lieut.. Col.
Lee, who has been giving Washington
thrills recently by his exhibitions of dar-
ing maneuvers. today demonstrated this
possibility, remaining practically sta
tionary high over the city for consider
able periods, by taking advantage of the
wind. The spectacle of an airplane hold
ing its position for minutes at stretch
was startling. This demonstration is
valuable in that it shows how wide is
the possibility of airplane use and how,
after all, management is the controlling
factor. Time was when 'oop was rated
as a desperately dangerous feat. Now
the aviator who cannot make loop is
rated as a mere novice AS Lieut.. Col.
Lee says, all the "stunts" that have been
rated heretofore as mere thrillers and
exhibition tricks are now of the most
practical utility in war flying. An avia-
tor must be able, in facing an enemy, to
do practically anything he wishes with
his machine. turn sharply, reverse his
course instantly, fall, volplane, fly with
cut power, and, as today's demonstra-
ton shows, maintain stationary po-
sition so as to take advantage of clouds

The Voice Of Congress.

The London newspapers and members
of the British parliament discuss the
war with great freedom and at length.
They are not restrained by the accusa-
tion that they are giving aid ana COM
fort to the enemy. Their object being
to better conditions, they go freely into
war activities, and censure where they
think censure is deserved. That by
their course they have done much good
is indisputable. Some grave mistakes
have been exposed, and by the exposure
repetitions prevented. Much important
work has been speeded up. to the ad-
vantage of the army in the field. The
whole proceeding has been in consonance
with free speech and free press.
In France less freedom has marked
discussion. The press censorship for
time was extremely rigid, and legisla-
tors appeared to be under restraint. But
a change has occurred. The public is
being taken more into the confidence of
the authorities. Both tongues and pens
are blsier than formerly, and both are
finding much of value to say. The war
is very grim fact in France. Tine
enemy is on French soil This makes it
necessary that all publicity be carefully
calculated. But, as the war has length
ened. the secret of hberalizing discus
sion without harm to the cause has been
studied and applied to good purpose.
Here are two examples worth our
while. Our discussions of war activities
were for time under great-under too
much restraint. The situation was new,
both to the newspapers and to Congress;
and maybe there was some merit in the
silence that both laid upon themselves.
But, as all now see, much might have
been said to good purpose. Had re-
cent exposures been made earlier, fewer
mistakes would have been made.
At last. however, Congress has found
its voice. 1t is discussing in no spirit
of captiousness or partisanship matters
of vital importance to the great issue
to which the country is committed. It
should go on with the discussion; not
unduly, of course, or to the hindrance
of any imperative action, but to the
end that mistakes confessed should be
corrected. and provision made against
their repetition.
This is the time for free and intelli-
gent. and. of course. patriotic, deliver
ances by those charged with the duty Of
supplying the country's war needs, and
of seeing that, when supplied, the means
accomplish the purposes intended. The
country would indorse and profit by full
debates.

Government Buildings.

In the House yesterday in the debate
on the temporary building construction
for war purposes Chairman Sherley of
the appropriations committee said that
when this war is over Washington will
be greatly expanded. 1t will never con
tract back into anything like its former
size. For many years after the need
of much more Office space will be felt,
"and for all time there is going to be
the need of a great deal more Office
space than in the old days prior to the
war" MIR. Sherley continued:
Now What will happeng If YOU have
only frame buildings Immediately there
will come great pressure to have them
torn down right away in order that none
of the 3.S00n00 square feet of space we
are renting at extravagant figures shall
be vacated. Every financial influence
and every bit of greed that exists in
tie District of Columbia will be put
with all its weight, under one excuse or
another, to tear dowa the frame build
ings, because they will say, These
things are terrible fire hazards and
risks and while the government is
building monumental buildings that
are permanently to house the depart
ments the rentals viii continue to run
On this reasoning it has been deemed
best to construct buildings of a more
permanent character than those lately
erected in Henry Park; structures that
will last for the period of the war and
UnH IN he
eminent adequately while permanent
buildings are being erected.
This is a wise policy, and it is to be
hoped that it will be carried out. Wash
ington knows by experience how slow
the government is in the provision of
public buildings. If the rate of con-
struction of the past twenty years is
maintained after the war every one OF
the buildings now planned will be in
use for as long as that before the alb
solutely necessary permanent housing
plant is provided, and it is undoubtedly
well to have substantial temporary
structures meanwhile
But it is unjust TO assert that Wash
ington's desire is for the continuance of
the rented building system. This city
has desired nothing more ardently than
the development of the permanent build
ing plan of the government, to replace
the rented structures. It has depIored
the slackness with which the needs of
the departments have been met. Take
for instance the case of the projected
buildings for the State, Commerce and
Justice departments. A strip of land
comprising five city blocks was acquired
several years ago and nothing whatever
has been done toward utilizing the
space.
Just as soon as the war pressure is
relieved work should start upon the
execution of a permanent building pro-
gram. Taking heed from the past de-
lays, which have in large part caused the
present Office congestion, no time should
be lost from the moment that construc-
tion work on large scale can be started
without interfering with war industries,
in beginning to give the government for
the first time in its history full suit of
clothes.
