A National Memorial.

If all the cities in the United States
do as well as did the capital yesterday
on the occasion of the first meeting
called for that purpose, the proposed
memorial to George Washington, to
stand as national tribute to the men
who fought in the world war and to
serve as an auditorium for national
and International conferences, will be
soon assured. Subscriptions Of more
than 10000 were recorded as a result
of the eloquent appeals of those who
spoke at the meeting, and this sum
may be taken as but an earnest of the
Districts interest in and practical de-
sire for the creation of the projected
memorial 1t is estimated that $1O,-
100000 will be required for this pur-
pose. A site on public lands in this
city has been assured. The structure
itself as building is urgently needed.
Many occasions occur here calling for
such place of national assembly. For
years the capital has been seriously
deficient in, this respect, and nov an

Samuel Gompers.

The accident in New York by which
Samuel Gompers suffered severe in
juries, fortunately not Immediately en-
dangering his life, brings to the point
OF public expression of appreciation
the services rendered by him during
the trying period of the war and the
important work he is doing in the
furtherance of peace. Mr.. Gompers
has been an influence for great good in
this time. He has stimulated Ameri-
can workingmen to the utmost Of per-
formance in the provisions for war
making. He has set and maintained
high standard of practical patriotism
throughout the war and has contrib
uted largely to the victory in the field.
Now his services are quite as valuable
in the keeping of the balance of indus
trial activity in the readjustment
period. He is combating insidious in
tluences which menace the stability of
the country. He has set himself stern
ly in opposition to radicalism which
is being preached by agitators and
wou1dbe revolutionists, and the hope
of the country is that there will be no
diminution of his energies in this
vitally essential endeavor and that his
health will be speedily restored.

The Republican Program.

Mr.. Penrose, scheduled in popular ex-
pectation for the craftsmanship of the
Senate committee On fnance-one Of
the leading committees of that body
has just expressed himself on the SUBJ
jeet Of the probable republican pro-
gram for the new Congress. These are
among the measures he favors, and
thinks his party will favor:
High protective tariff. Industrial
preparedness for the commercial con-
fliet that is to follow the signing of
the peace treaty. Return of railroads
and telegraphs to their owners En-
actment Of legislation which Will in
SURE the railroads sufficient returns for
expansion. Freeing of big business
from government control and unjus-
tifable supervision. Adequate mill
tary preparedness A definite mer-
chant marine policy
This program, considered item by
itam, promises warm controversies and
abundant debate. The tariff will bring
everybody into action. Industrial pre-
paredness is kindred subject, and will
as generally appeal. Much is neees-
sary in that line. The return of the
railroads and the wires to their own
ers 10 largely a question of when and
how, although there is organized ad-
vocaey of government ownership and
operation. Big business. now that the
war 10 over, wants a release from war
regulations. Adequate military pre-
paredness includes the Navy, of
course The country needs both an
adequate Army and An adequate Navy.

A New Milk Law Proposed.

Announcement that the Commission
ers are considering a new milk law
for the District to supersede the ex-
listing statute, designed to empower
the health officer to confscate un-
licensed milk brought into the District,
signifies that the whole question of the
city's milk supply is to be taken un-
der consideration by Congress at the
next session. The present situation is
undeniably unsatisfactory. The Dis
trict authorities have power to stipu-
late the conditions under which
licenses may be issued for the sending
of milk to this market. but have no
authority to enforce their rules prac
tically, save by the prosecution of
those who attempt to retail milk from
unlicensed sources. If it is right that
the District should make its dairy rules
it should be in a position to enforce
them fully. 1t is contended by milk
producers and by retailers that the
Districts rules are too drastic. 1t is
urged, on the other hand, by health
officials that they are reasonable. There
will probably always be conflict be-
tween these interests. 1t is desirable
to reduce the margin Of difference. 1t
is certainly necessary to secure an ade-
quate supply for the city in conditions
that prevent abnormal price increases.
A full inquiry into this situation by
the House or Senate District commit
tee, in consideration of the bill pro-
posed by the Commissioners, is desir-
able. If the Commissioners power to
enforce their rules is to be strength
ened there should be full assurance
that the rules are reasonable and are
essential. Much has been said on both
sides in the matter, from the point
of view of the producer, that of the
distributor, and that of the health Off
Ger. The consumer, for whose benefit
the rules are adopted, but who is af-
fected unfortunately by the effect of
their application in the matter of
price, has not been heard In going
to Congress for new legislation On the
subject the Commissioners are virtually
referring the matter to that body and
the hope is that an adjustment will
be effected that, fully protecting the
consumers, will impose no unnecessary
hardships upon other factors Of the
milk supply equation.

already moving. Hence, we must get
a move-on.
Mr.. Penrose predicts that "the war
for industrial supremacy to be waged
after peace will rival the four bloody
years of battle in Europe The COM
parison is a little fierce Let US, now
that the war is over, get away from
military terms in referring to peace
activities. The contest for trade will
be spirited; and the greater the meas
ure of our success. the more spirit will
be required. We shall get nothing that
we do not work for diligently, intel
ligently and Systematically, for our
competitors know their own interests
and how to advance and protect them.
1t is the huge size of the reconstruc-
ton order that causes the regret that
Congress is not now in session. There
is so much to be done, and so much
depends on how it is done and
prompt beginning, impatience at the
delay is natural.
But when the beginning is made, we
may expect hard work by Congress,
and plenty of it. The card is crowded;
and while business is in the front,
politics is close behind. Both parties
have next year in mind, each recog
nizes in the other formidable an
tagonst, and neither is likely to over
look a single bet in the coming twelve
months.

Bolshevism Receding.

Many indications appear that the
bolshevik organization in Russia is
weakening. In the Ukraine a large
force of bolshevik troops has been cap
the Ukrainian army. Reverses have
been suffered on the Arehangel front
and also on the eastern front. Some
portions of the lower Volga region
have been abandoned, evidently for
concentration against the army of the
Siberian government. The military
situation of Lenin's government is less
secure than it has been for several
months, and with the opening of the
season Of active campaigning there is
Q probability that these reverses will
continue. The bolshevik morale is low.
An army constituted and maintained
ON the basis of the bolshevik system
cannot be efficient. 1t comprises large
numbers of wholly undisciplined men,
attracted to the service by high pay
and assurance of food. 1t has been
called, indeed, military bread line.
Lenin's endeavor to throw the states
of the former central empires into boil
shevik reaction has not been entirely
successful. Hungary has adopted the
soviet system, plainly at his instance,
but is now in reaction under military
pressure from Rumania and Czecho-
slovaiia. The bolshevik regime in Ba-
varia is weakening and military op-
,erations against the soviet government
are new starting. German Austria has
rejected the cvertures of bolshevik
emissaries. Germany has withstood
thus far all Spartacan or bolshevik eff
forts.
It has been repeatedly declared that
the holshevik movement was in the
nature of a wave that must recede after
reaching its maximum. That that
maximum has now been reached is in
dicated by the factors just enumerated
and BY other signs. In Russia itself,
bolshevism is not supported by the ma
jority Of the people. As the govern
mens de facto in central Russia it has
been accepted as a most cruel neces-
sity, from which there was no imme-
date escape. The excesses and tyran-
nies of the soviet government have
made it no friends, but on the con-
trazy have created feeling Of the ut
NEST adherence on the part Of i'm
menss numbers of Russian1 who only
await favorable opportunity to turn
upon the oppressors, whose outrages
have been more terrible than the worst
acts Of The old imperial government.
Bolahevism is receding. Founded
supon . false principle, conducted with
ont statesmanship and upon the most
cruel prejudiees, setting up class gov
ernment of hideous atrocity, it has
manifested itself as failure and the
common sense of the world is now
united against it.
