No Podsnappery.

The time approaches when the Dis.
trict will not be able to make certain
vitality necessary public improvements
without borrowing money to do so.
Current tax revenue will not suffice
without neglecting current outlayS.
For example, the s1O,000.O00 expendi-
ture needed to bring up to date the
Districts water supply calls for much
more money than in view of other
pressing municipal needs can be
spared from current revenue. Money
needed for this purpose must be bor-
rowed through bond issue or through
interest-bearing advances from Uncle
Sam.
But the District protests against
borrowing from Uncle Sam or from
anybody until it's surplus tax money
in Uncle Sans hands has been utilized
for its benefit.
Uncle Sam is urged to deny the
existence of District tax surplus and
to declare it a myth, a fiction, fig
1nent Of the imagination.
La Mr.. Podsnap Charles Dickens
typif1es those who evade an incon-
vsnient fact or a disagreeable obliga-
ton by denying or ignoring it's exist
e,lce. Mr.. Podsnap settled that what
ever he refused to admit and whatever
he put behind him he put out of exist
cnce.
Uncle Sam is invited to play the
Poesnap role, and to commit Pod
suappery by denying the existence of
a District tax surplus and by repudi-
ating obligation to account for it. He
is invited to render the surplus non
existent. Podsnap fashion, by sweep
ing it behind him into the Treasury
re,eptacle labeled miscellaneous re-
ceipts."
But this invitation to repudiate will
not be accepted. Uncle Sam will not
be guilty of Podsnappery.
The District tax surplus is not a
myth or fiction, but a concrete fact,
raising distinct obligation, not to be
repudiated or, in POdsnap fashion,
waved aside.
This contention is elaborated in
editorial correspondence printed else
where in today's Star.

Politics and Starvation.

Fridays session Of the assembly of
the league of nations was perhaps the
most lamentable In the short history
of that body. The business before the
assembly was the plan Of DR.. Fridtjof
Nansen to have tho governments rep
resented in the league contribute $5,-
100000 for the relief Of the starving
people of Russia. The plan was de-
feated. but only after a stormy ses-
sion, during which DR.. Nansen ac-
cused the governments Of Europe of
playing politics with the Russian
famine and of trying to buy the fall
of the soviet government by starving
20,600,000 Russian people.
Lord Robert CECIL supported DR..
Nansen and ridicdled the pretensss
of the representatives, who voted
tions from their governments after
expressing sympathy for the famine
victims. The plain truth is that the
governments of Europe would rather
let Russia starve than contribute
money that will go into Russia while
being the real attitude of the Euro
pean powers. it is nothing but hypoc-
risy to pass resolutions of sympathy
for the Russian people.-Brooklyn
