Next Weeks Conference.

In summoning the governors of the
states and mayors of 100 of the chief
cities for a conference here next week
the President makes a move calculated
to hasten the process of industrial re-
adjustment. 1t is plain that the stu
alton requires prompt remedy. At the
latest accounts over $4,000 were out
of employment in this country, the
number increasing rapidly. Strikes
are in progress in many places and
general strikes are threatening. Re
sistanee to new wage scales and even
70 decisions by the federal boards of
conciliation is manifested in many
quarters. Clearly, this cannot con-
tinue for long without a dangerous
crisis.
Whether the governors and the
mayors who have been asked to come
for conference will have any remedy
cannot be assured. But at all events
the consultation will disclose condi-
tions and acquaint both the local and
she federal officials with the exact sit
uation.-No harm can result, and there

The Gunston Hall.

Yesterdays launching at Alexandria
was an affair of moment in that it was
the first time in many years that a ship
built in this vicinity took the water.
The Gunston Hall, the first product of
the corporation that has developed a
large and efficient plant just below the
capital, is but the pioneer of con-
siderable feet that will eventually
slide from the ways. In a short time
the other ships now under construc-
tion will be launched and the ways va
Gated are to be Immediately filed with
new huHs. While this enterprise was
the result of a national emergency,
there is no reason 70 question its con-
tinuanee as a permanent institution
It has an ideal location, sheltered and
yet with sufficient water for launching
and fitting, and there is reason to be-
Iieve that the products of the yard
viii soon find their way to all parts of
the world, carrying the great commerce
of America. Though this establishment
is located in Virginia, Washington re-
CARDS it with local pride and inter.
est. 1t is, in fact, situated within the
original District boundaries.

The Honor Parade.

Yesterdays welcome home demon
stration was ideal in all respects. 1t
was headed by the President of the
United States, 1t was participated in
by representatives OF all Washington, it
was witnessed by an immense throng,
comparable with the crowds on inaugu-
ration days, and it was blessed with
fair, mild weather which permitted the
fullest enjoyment of the spectacle with
out discomfort or danger. If the in
auguration days themselves could al
ways be guaranteed to be as clement
and suitable for outdoor ceremonies
there would be little reason to ask for
change of date.
Perhaps there was lacking some of
the enthusiasm that manifested itself
a few months ago, when the hostiiities
were in progress and the individual
citizens were quick to cheer and ap
plaud evory manifestation of the na-
tons participation in The great war.
Possibly the ardor of the individual
has cooled somewhat with the signing
of the armistice. But there was no
doubt of the sincere feeling of the peo-
pie in terms of warm thankfuaness for
the services rendered by the men in
whose honor the parade was held, both
those who went overseas and those who
remained at home awaiting the orders
to sail that were interrupted by the un-
expected surrender Of the Hun.
In all the details the affair was well
conceived and we'll managed. It be-
gan on time and it covered almost ex-
aetly the estimated period. 1t was bril-
liant in color and interesting in va
riety. Interest was divided between
the parade itself and the maneuvers Of
the airmep who performed in the skies
above. The latter thrilled the crowds
with their daring and brilliant evolu
tions and gave An idea Of the work
that was done so skilfuliy in the war
zone to the confusion of the enemy and
the accomplishment of victory.
Congratulations are due to the com
mittees who worked hard and success
fully to present this spectacle of the
capitals appreciation. They eneoun-
tered difficulties and overcame them.
They arranged and ably executed
program that aroused Washington to
realization of the services that have
been rendered by the men who an
swered the call Of duty and of the sue
cess that was achieved through their
efforts and their sacrifices.

The Bolsheyik Bathing Schedule.

French refugees, returning from
Russia, state that the Moscow soviet
has divided the people Into three cate
gories, decreeing the number of baths
those belonging to each are TO be per
mitted to take. Those of the first
group may bathe themselves twice q
month, the next group once month
and those In the third group may not
bathe at all. There iB likely to be
some confusion about this arrange
nent. It is not impossible that those
in the third category may regard the
scheme as devised for their exatation.
Judging from some of the perform
ances of the bolsheviki, the monthly
bath may be considered as the extreme
penalty for misconduct, with com
mutation for the second group and alb
solution for the third. The prejudice
against the bourgeoiste manifests itself
in this Moscow decree.

Mr.. Gillett for Speaker.

Mr.. Gillett is an experienced legis-
lator, and one of the most competent
in commission. He has full qua1ifca-
tions for the important post for which
he has been nominated and to which
he will be elected. He is a good parlia-
mentarian. He is republican, through
and through. He comes from a repub-
Lean strOnghold-M Massachusetts
Massachusetts is in the center of re-
publican stronghold-New England.
He is sound on the tariff He believes
in protection: and protection is Ger
tain to be a leading feature of recon
struction. So that in respect of abil-
ity, experience, alertness and repre-
sentative character, the man who will
preside over the next House is worthy
of his party's best traditions. He
should fill the Office acceptably TO all.
Mr.. Mann, who will remain on the
floor, will be one of his party's most
valuable assets there. The chambers
processes are as a, b, c to him. He is
familiar with them all. AS minority
leader he has shown vigilance and in
dustry in high degree. As an adviser
of the majority, from whatever place
he may be assigned, he should prove of
the greatest assistance to his party in
the shaping of its legislative course at
this very grave time. 1t is unneces-
sary to say that had he been called to
the speakership he would have filed
the Office with courage, ability and
fidelity.
Mr.. Campbell entered the contest
late, with small prospects of success,
and they did not brighten. He, too, is
a veteran legislator and competent
man, and should give an excellent ac-
count of himself with his party in con
troll.
The confidence of the country is in
vited. In many things the House takes
the initiative, and on that account
should always put q good foot fore
most. AT this time the initiative means
much. Revenue in great amount is
necessary. Expenditures cover a wide
range, and are large. New issues are
here, and must be dealt with. This
new House, therefore, will have in
hand task which it cannot hope to
execute with success unless spirit Of
harmony and helpfulness marks the
proceedings.
The new House will be ready for
business at any time after March 4,
reckoning from the noon hour. It is
for the President to say when it shall
set to work, if at all before the regu-
lar meeting day, nine full months away.

The New Tonic.

In the near future, and probably for
many months to come, we shall hear a
good deal about the league of nations.
The topic appeals. There is music
In it. Observe how discussion stirs Wis
itors to the Senate, no matter which
side is holding the floor. At Boston
Monday the President stirred an enor-
nous crowd.
Orators like topic with ginger in it.
In way, they are showmen. They
give the public what it wants-what it
shows avidity for.
1t is easy to understand the taste
manifested for this new topic. Not
only does it afford change from the
Old topics, but it is attractive in itself.
1t lends itself TO both the past and the
future. Those in opposition go back to
cur beginnings as nation, dwell upon
the intentions of the founders of the
government, and trace our great growth
and power as nation along the lines
marked out by the fathers. Those in
support OF the league point to the
future, and declare that America must
: do her part in the development of the
new worldwide order.
Here is an unusual chance for word
painters. The tariff is dry subject
by comparison. The railroad question,
coming up in new form, is heavily
weighted with dollars and cents. I'm
migration as topic is inspiring, but
we have had good deal of it. 1t is a
little shopworn, so to say.
Bat in this league proposition there
is something of lively interest for all
And while the idea is very old, it has
not before been presented to us in a
form for incorporation in the national
policy.
For stumping purposes it appears the
ideal topic. In the mouth of man OF
: fueney and imagination it should
Evening star., 1919-02-28

prove exceedingly effective With q
crowd gathered to hear the "latest"
about the state Of the Union.
Next years campaign would have
been thriller without this latest fea-
ture. But now it promises to set the
pegs for all that makes for interest
and tension. And we shall probably
see the campaign speakers make prepa-
ration for it, by furnishing their his
torical reading, and by training their
powers to forecasts about what soon
viii be on the lap Of the gods. As for
the decision at the polls, we may all
await that with eomposure born Of
the fact that the American electorate
is accustomed to weighing big things
and deciding them in free way.
