Sound Advice on Milk.

In another part of today's Star is
published an article by Raleigh G..
Koiner, the farm demonstration agent
for Prince William county, Virginia,
in which he gives some sound advice
to milk producers who ship to the
Washington market Mr.. koiner pro-
poses a solution of the "milk problem"
which is simplicity itself. Win the
confidence of consumers and increase
consumption, he advises, by producing
pure, clean milk and selling it at a
reasonable price. The producer in
jures himself most, the county agent
a price, for he thereby not only re-
duces consumption, but invites compe-
tition from distant producing fields.
That the farmer who cannot make a
fair profit by producing milk conform
ing to the Washington standard and
selling ii at a reasonable price should
turn TO other lines of agriculture is
the conclusion reached. Ii all those
interested in the Washington milk sit
uation would approach consideration
Of The question with Mr. Koiner's
openness of mind and breadth of view,
the "problem' would quickly dissolve.

Have not financial arrangements been
the backbone of four fifths of world
agreements.'
Whether the motive for broadening
of activities be inspired by financial
or other reasons, European peoples and
some governments are looking to
America. In order that questions of
grave moment in regard to certain ter
ritories of Europe and Asia may be
settled with least friction among
themselves foreign governments are
pleading with American peace ennis
saries in Paris to take responsibility
abroad, notably in the case of the
near east.
Should America take over Armenia
or act as mandatory for Turkey, as
insisted upon. the United States would
be confronted with one of the knot

Ting the differences that might arise
between Greece, Great Britain and
France as to control Of Turkey, this
country would be beset on all sides
with governmental problems in the
near east which would tax American
brains and ingenuity to the limit, not
to speak of the tremendous financial
responsibilities involved. Though the
firm hand of this country undoubtedly
would forever end Turkish outrages
against humanity, this very prevention
undoubtedly would cause the United
States to employ large military forces
A decade possibly would be required
to iron out the antipathies. religious
and social, that exist in the near east.
Conditions are destined to remain cha

other. Naturally it would be with
genuine relief if European govern
ments could obtain the assent of the
United States to assume responsibility
for the solution of this trying prob

Next Weeks Loan Work.

| Next weeks victory loan work must

minute. Washington, now less than
halfway to its quota point. must raise
at least $1O,000,000 before next Sat
! urday night.
In every other campaign Washing
ton has gone over the top. 1t has
made good in every bond issue, in
every fund drive, in every branch of
! the war work 1t has written re-
markable record, considering the char
| acter of the community, the lack of
large fortunes and the low average Of
personal means.
To fail now to put Washington be-
yond the quota point would be to sug-
gest that for the capital patriotism
ceased on the 11th of November last
when the armistice was signed. Of
all cities in the country this should
be the most assuredly point of over

sponse to the government call is con-
cerned.
There was no lack of bond buying
a year ago when the German armies
were making their drive through the
allied line in their supreme effort. The
quota was met and more. The re-
sponse to the third loan call was an
emphatic notice to the enemy that the
American people were determined to
go through with the work. Last fall
the fourth loan drive occurred at a
time of a countryw wide epidemic. 1t
was conducted under the most diseour-
aging and difficult circumstances. Yet
the people responded. Washington
virtually doubled its quota.
Now there is no danger of defeat in
the field, and there is no disease at
home. What was done in the face of
doubt and danger and death a year
and half ago can be done now, with
peace and prosperity and good health
prevailing. And it will be done.

District Roads.

The spending of s3O.5O0 will enable
the District government this summer
to treat the surfaces of fifty-three
highways in such a manner as to pre-
serve them and also to prevent the
rising of dust, which now is one of
the chief burdens of existence in some
parts of the capital during the sum-
mer. The Districts roads outside of
the paved section, however, are not
particularly good. They should be
ideal. They should be the best that
engineering can produce. There are
roads within the District of Columbia
that are virtually impossible in wet
weather and that are productive of
choking volumes of dust in dry
weather, plain old-style dirt roads.
And there are some so-called good
roads. with hard surfaces, but not as
well maintained as they should be.
There is a comparatively small mileage
OF really good roads, well kept through
ont the year. These are on the main
lines of travel. But off these lines of
travel the roads are decidedly below
standard. Something more than the
$30,50o for surface treatment to lay
the dust is needed in the treatment of
the Districts unpaved thoroughfares.

The Department Questionnaire.

One of the new words brought by
the war is qucstionnairc.' 1t sounded
strange at first, but after 4 short scrv-
ice in connection with the srlcctive
draft it began 20 assume Il definite
place in the family vocabulary. Now
it appears officially again, this time
as the name Of II pink card that is to
he placed in the hands of every gov
ernment cmployc i'll this city by the
Joint commission on rcclasstcation
This pink questionnairc is designed
to elicit the fullest information re-
garling the personal and official stand
ing OF the department worker. 1t
asks the occupation, name or title of
the position held, the place of service,
the Kind of work performed the rate
of pay, supplies or allowances received
IN addition to pay; hours of work and
hours of leisure, as well rs overtime
service; the degree of supervisory re-
sponsibility, and finally the age, the
length of service, the rate of promo
tion, and much else besides.
These cards are, it will be seem
filled out by the clerks themselves
They will be vised or supervised by
immediate superiors, with comments
upon the qualifications of the indi-
yiduals, personal characteristics and
observations upon the character of the
replies given by the suhordinates.
When thus completely filled out in de-
tail the cards will form most valu-
able mass of data for the studies of
the joint commission.
Whether that body can examine all
these cards is merely matter of the
length of time to be devoted to the
research. To do so in detail will in
volve a very heavy labor. 1t may not
really be worth while. "Cross- sections
of the system can be obtained here
and there to determine the conditions
of employment and the relationship of
pay to duties and experience. Any
conscientious study Of the cards,
whether in detail or by sample. will
surely yield q more definite knowledge
of the departmental situation than is
now enjoyed by any person or group
of people in Washington.
This is the first time the whole gov
ernment service at the capital has
been thus put TO the quiz in the matter
of hours. duties, pay and experience.
1t is to be hoped that it is the first
move toward an equitable equalization
of pay and the establishment of a sys-
tenn of regular promotions based on
qualifications and length Of service.

The Treaty Text.

II IS stated that the peace treaty
will couprise between 10000 and sO,-
900 words. This is as much as a long
move. a, book that takes three or four
evenings 10 read with steady applica-
tion. The State Department has al
-rsdy received by cable about $4,000
words of the text, and the remainder
viii come from day to day. A sum
mary of about 10000 words, it is noted,
has been prepared in Paris, and this
will constitute the substance given to
the public when the treaty is released
after presentation to the German dele
gates.
There is the keenest interest in
America in the terms of this treaty,
notwithstanding the fact that prac-
tieally all of the provisions directly
Evening star., 1919-05-04

| concern the people of Europe, in the
matter of boundaries, Jurisdictions, ma
tional delimitations, reparations, pun.
ishments and safeguards. The people
the territorial questions involved, are
nevertheless most intimately concern
ed in the general dispositions. They
want to know what is to be done for
the rehabilitation of the countries
wrecked by Germany's war work; what
is to be done to bring to justice those
responsible for the conflict and for the
denominations practiced; what repara-
tions are to he exacted; where the
boundaries will run; what peoples are
to be transferred from one national
authority to another.
While the summary of 10000 words
will doubtless give all the news the
text of the treaty itself will be of the
utmost interest to practically all the
people of this country. 1t should be
made available in the frecst possible
form by the government, TO spread
it broadcast. The newspapers of the
country will probably print it as fully
as possible. perhaps in full text serial
ly. While many of the provisions have
been foreshadowed, the final terms
themselves that are submitted to the
German delegates for acceptance or
rejection-but not for change-wili be
of the most intense interest.

POLITICS AT HOME
Next Years Conventions.

The two principal national conven.
tions are more than a year away, and
| the convention cities will not be chosen
until January or February, when the
two national committees will meet for
that purpose. But already there is dis.
cussion of the subject. These are brisk
times; and the general desire with re-
gard to everything seems to be to keep
ahead of, rather than fall behind, the
times. Simply keeping up with the
times is not enough.
We are all familiar with the bidding
for the honor Of playing host to great
national organization. The advantages
Of bidding city are elaborately set
forth. Its railroad connections, its
hotel accommodations, its climate, and
the reasonableness Of tariffs laid on
visitors are all stressed. Some local
orator, well chosen, pays tribute to
his home community which fingers long
As a rule, the tribute is pitched in
too high key. The city does not live
up to what has been promised and VOW
ed in its name. At any rate, there is
always "kicking." No matter the city,
the climate and the price lists are al
ways denounced for weeks after con-
vention time in good, round, express
sive terms by those claiming to have
suffered.
The leading feature of the next bid
ding is likely to be that Of hotel ac-
commodations. For, unless all signs
fail, the next national convention will
attract the largest crowds ever seen at
such meetings. Many new men and
many new issues will be in evidence.
Delegates and onlookers alike will be
discussing questions never heard of be-
fore On the eve Of fashioning political
platforms.
At the republican convention the
question of the ticket will stir deep
feeling. Many names for first place
are already being canvassed, and
others will be added to the list before
convention time East and west, north
and northwest, are contributing.
At the democratic convention such
excitement will depend on the attitude
Of the President respecting another
nomination. If he wants another it
seems to be conceded he can get it
and if another for him, then another,
of course, for Mr.. Marshall. But should
the President excuse himself before
the convention meets, and the field
become thus an open one, a very
spirited contest for the nomination
will take place.
Big conventions-the biggest ever
are to be desired. The issues are big
and the people in large numbers
should look in On their representatives
while the latter are putting matters
into shape for the campaign.
