The Plan.

! forty-eight States of the Union to
erect at its own expense what would
| be known as a state Building" upon
land set aside by Congress, under the
direction of the usual City Planning
Commission Of the District of Column
bia.
Each State Building to be sufficient
in size and magnitude to contain a
Governors suite for his convenience
when visiting the Capital on business.
To contain large assembly halls for
every need, including meeting rooms
| for visitors or associations or resi-
dents of Washington who were ma
tives OF the respective States, and TO
have covered area enough to do jus
tice to the proper exploitation or an
alI-the-year-round exhibition or the
principal industries and natural re-
sources and attractions OF each par
ticular State.
Each State would naturally take
lust pride IN having it's building,
strictly speaking. a State product,
Would want the building designed by
an architect living within its own
borders. Would want all the material
that entered into the construction, as
far as possible, to come from its own
state and to have its erection direct
ed by its own local contractors, so
that it would stand as a monument to
the States creative ability.
When completed, il automatically
would be an individual State Build
ing Art Center" in which would be
held a vast and perpetual all-the-year-
round exposition.

nation That of the Nation but the
Nations Capital located District in which person takes
just pride because Capital That Washington has been
and always will be developed primarily for the vast
mental activities which, the result of the world greater

the United States feel and a rightful interest.

Benefits To Washington.

The benefits OF such an "all-the-
year-round exposition" housed in such
an impressive manner would easily
make Washington the most talked
of. the most visited. the most beau
tifuI capital in the world. Having
such a colossal "birds-eye view" OF
the entire resources of the United
States located here in Washington
would attract people here from all
over the world. The big industries
of our country would establish Of
fIces here and retain permanently in
Washington a small army OF repre-
sentatives, agents and attendants 10
meet, talk and interest this constant
Iy changing multitude of people who
were bent upon seeing for relaxation,
business or education the most i'm
portant capital city in the world. In
stead Of the big conventions OF the
day-such as steel, paper, lumber
etc. being held at the large indus
trial cities OF the country. they would
be held here IN Washington, where
the industries and the progress Of
the country could be viewed and
studied at close range.
The facilities OF Washington as =
city would have TO be expanded TO
their utmost TO care for foreign and
domestic travel that would wish to
see this notable exposition.
The Washington times., 1919-05-05
Final.

To insure the success OF the plan It
simply needs the support Of one hun
dred determined people, who stand
ready to pledge up to five thousand
each in order to create a fund suffi-
cient to defray the preliminary eX-
pense toward ably and properly pre-
scnting the matter for the considora-
tion OF the various states and in
tcrests of the country.

City Free From RivalTies.

The mere fact that Washington is
neutral ground, through being the
government seat Of the nation, makes
it free from rivalries that naturally
come up between States and makes
il the logical center to reflect the
growth of the nation as a whole
and the peoples common territory to
point with pride as the Art. Educa-
tional and Experimental center Of the
nation.
Washington was thoughtfully and
wisely selected as the Nations Capt.
tai, from q geographical as we'll as
climatic standpoint, and having en-
joyed the benefits of the genius of
some of the greatest men and women
in the world along the lines of civic
development for the past hundreds
years. is now in a position, through
the strength and vast resources Of the
nation. to take her place, with the as-
sistance of additional effort, as the
most cultured city of modern civiliza-
tion. not losing sight of the fact at all
times, that the underlying foundation
of all her development must lie along
the lines of strength and simplicity
in order to reflect the spirit and char
acter OF her people.
The plan to be suggested will yield
all this.

It would be hard to determine
ahead OF time. what all this prelimi-
nary work would cost. but a fund of
at least FIVE hundred thousand dollars
should be available for such a pur-
pose. II is more than possible that
the entire amount would not be
needed, but such an amount at least
should be guaranteed by the citizens
OF Washington.

Benefits To Individual States.

Every State has something to SELL
lands. lumber, cattle, hides, minerals,
homesteads. climate. water powers, or
the products OF its industries, but
very few States are so advantageously
situated geographically as to attract
the travel OF great numbers OF people.
The prosperity and advantages a
state can give its own people depends
entirely upon its growth.
The State Advertising possibilities
are almost beyond comprehension
when you stop to consider the great
number OF people they would be able
10 reach from all over the world at
their own State Building located
here in Washington.
State publicity agents could exploit
the natural charms and resources Of
their respective States to great advan-
tage and industrial leaders could

ence Of people from all over the

erately sought to paralyze French
industry. Moreover, they, in their
turn, forcibly annexed nearly half Of
this territory, which had long been
French, and contentedly such, when
Napoleon FELL
But the Sarre Basin is not a con-
siderable area; it is little more than
II per cent of the area of Alsace-
Lorraine; it has no such history as
bound Metz and Strasbourg to
France. Moreover, French annexation
is predicated upon a favorable plebi-
scite fifteen years hence, and if the
vote went against France, if in the
mean time French and German re-
lations had improved, as.I feel sure
they may, the whole difficulty might
be compromised. To attack France
as great power, however productive
of disputes in the future, the Sarre
Basin does not seem to me certain or
even likely to become the basis for
a war between Germany and France,
since the stake itself is out of all
proportion to the risks of war, and
the possibilities of a peaceful and
satisfactory adjustment are by no
means non-eXistent.
There remains the whole set of
problems growing out of the disputes
between the Slavs and the Teutons
and expressed to-day in the new
phase of the Polish question. 1t is
here that it seems to me the posi-
bility of German compliance with

down. 1t is not difficult to imagine
that the completeness of German de-
feat and the absence of all basis for
hopeful resumption of an Anglo-Ger-
man contest for sea supremacy will
in due course lead the Germans to re-
sign both their old ambitions and
their ancient colonies, as did the
French a century ago.
Nor is it less easy to believe that,
given the ineXtricable intermingling
of British and French interests,
which makes British defence of
France and of Belgium essential to
British security, Germany will ac-
cept the restoration of Alsace-Lor-
raine to France and seek through
peaceful rather than warlike means

east a powerful neighbor, ready to
join with France if the German
should set out on his old PATHWAYS
again. A Polish state Of 80. 900 900
inhabitants solidy allied with France
is a very real insurance against
German aggression.
But at this point French and Brit
ish policies divide. The British rec
ognize the necessity of standing with
France in any German assault upon
the west. The eastern frontiers Of
Belgium and France are the eastern
frontiers of Britain. But if Britain
is ready to stand with France and
for France at the Rhine, she finds
herself less willing to stand with
France and Poland on the lower
Vistula or the upper Oder. She sees
with real anxiety and open protest
the development of French Com
tinental policy. which aims at pro.
tectlng those states, particularly that
Polish state called into existence by
the Treaty of Versailles, but forever
dependent upon outside aid for ex.
istence.

In so far, then, the charge that
the Treaty Of Versailles is a peace
of force is justifiable. 1t is a peace
containing conditions which pre-
clude conciliation, understanding, a
restoration of amicable relations be-
tween the German people and the
rest of the world. 1t is a treaty
which demanded and demands con-
tinuing force on the part of the con-
querors of Germany to preserve it
intact. Up to this point I think
there is general agreement on all
sides, on the part Of critics and de-
tenders of the document alike. Both
recognize that Germany, the Ger
man people, can not and will not ac-
cept the terms, that the dream of
