Money is required, yes. But it is

than We commanded.
America Is in favor Of disarmament
as a world policy. She will disarm
when other nations do. but not in ad-

True American Spirit and Purpose

In his Hohoken speech on our dead

eIoquently and inspiringly said
These heroes were sacrificed in the
supreme conflict of all human history.
They saw democracy CHALLENGED and

threatened and rescued it They saw
our nations rights imperiled and
stamped these rights with new

they died.
In his London speech To the Pilgrims
Ambassador Harvey cynic1ly and
slurringIy said:
Far more prevalent until recently
was the impression that we went to
war TO rescue humanity from all sorts
Of menacing perils. Not few remain
convinced that we sent our young SOL

France and Italy. That is not the
fact. We sent them solely to save the
United States of America. and most
reluctantly and Iaggardly at that"
President Harding has answered in
directly but conclusively the question
mas II iou'iVu SoiIC
whether Ambassador Harvey in that
part Of his London speech which pic
tured the motive and spirit of America
in entering the world war voiced the
thought Of the administration.
On this point President and ambas-
E::dor are far apart. and the President
is right. He has the true concept of
genuine America nism.

The Most Beautiful CITY.

IN MS nne address a the unVeiling OF

Lord Bryce. when he was so ably repre-
senting his country in Washington, tha I
II the plans originally adopted and now
being practically carried out for the
citys development were completed. it
seemed to me Washington would be the
most beautiful city in the world. His
reply was: 1T is that now. 1t might be
more beautiful. but it is easily the most
beautiful city in the world today"
Lord Bryce's expression should be
borne in mind by those who are striv-
ing to add to the advantages and at
tractiveness OF the American capital
1T might be made more beautiful "
he said. There are many Opportuni.
ties for betterment. There are many
projects now pending the execution
of which will make Washington def
nitely the most wonderful city in the
world. beyond the possibility Of COM
parison.
Capital making is slow process.
1t has been particularly slow in this
case, after a remarkable beginning
The original plans were broad and if
carried early into effect would have
led to the immediate development of a
city that could not have been neg.
lected without national shame. But
after the immediate laying out Of the
streets on paper and the construction
of few public buildings no more was
done for many years. There was no
standard. The District was left to its
own resources and bad conditions de-
veloped that, when attacked correctly,
required a long period and vast ex,
penditups in the cure.
Now a standard has been adopted
and means have been provided for
maintaining it. Secretary Weeks
happily refers to the work OF the Fine
Arts Commission as establishing the
desired barrier to the making Of in,
artistic mistakes. In its public build
ings and it's monuments and it's parks
the capital is already notable. as Lord
Bryce has said. The task Of the future
is comparatively simple-to keep tC
, this line of development. to hasten the
work of providing absolutely essential
structures and to coordinate the park
. preservation policy with the necessi
. ties Of government and the require
mcnts of the community.

is not strange that President Harding
expressed confidence i'll his inaugural
that Congress would pass the Towner
bill for the protection Of maternity.
Opposition to the bill comes from
varied quarters. Among the objectors
are many physicians who believe it
will lead to health insurance and
other governmental invasions Of their
field. In the Senate. before it passed
the bill last Decembnr, fear was ex,
pressed that the bill would entail
heavy expenditures: that it would in
volvc a bureaucratic fnc-oa chment

nation begins with medical care for
mothers it may be led on to offer
medical care against tuberculosis and
