Congress and the Firemen
of the District
By BILL PRICE.

Because the House Committee on Appropriations has
failed to include bonus for Washington fremen for the
next fiscal year does not make certain that the bill will
through Congress without giving them this deserved
Senator PENROSE has already declared himself for
bonus and there will be supporters of square
deal for the remen in both House and Senate. The result
not well be other than bestowa of the bonus. 1t is
fair and just that the should have it,
1t is eminently proper that Congress should exercise
the greatest economy III coming years but at
time should become denial of just treatment of Govern
ment employees payment of wages below living scale
Congressman CLYDE KELLY, of Pennsylvania, recently
made speech in which he expressed the opinion that
Washington firemen, with the bonus they get already
badly underpad compared to many other cities of the
country. He submitted figures show this Class three
fremen in Jersey City, n. j. paid 1000 year; in
Cleveland $1,000 in Detroit 2l60; Newark and Bridge
port $4,000; Seattle $l9l6 Youngstown 81 $50; New York
City, $22SO
In Washington they get bonus and ALL ST. $780,
Many cities Of the United States furnish their fire
uniforms and other equipment in addition salaries
paid them and the uniforms cost considerable money in
these days.
The Washington fire department protects Government
properties valued at hundreds of millions of dollars This
department should consequently rank all others in equip,
men and personnel The salaries should be sufficient TO
attract the bravest, cleanest and best
There is no real economy in cutting down the pay of
high-class men already underpaid.

The March
of EUents

q torial restraint, the proposal by
our Government to permit Great
Britain to postpone for twenty years
the payment of even the interest on
the money she has borrowed from
us. This means the postponement
of payment of two hundred and
fifty million dollars year.
This proposal comes at time
when the American farmers are in the
worst straits they have known for
a whole generation; when tens OF
thousands of them are staring ruin
in the face; when two and a half
million American workmen are out
Of work; when factories are closing
down every day; when tight money
is sending hundreds of our business
houses to the wall; when the demand
for justice to our soldiers is requir-
ing a great expenditure.
It is extraordinary that the very
man who proposes this favor to
Great Britain is the man who cried
OCT in anguish at spending a billion
dollars to recompense in very
small, inadequate way the loss which
our soldiers suffered when they re-
sponded to the country's call.
Will the Republican party, when
it takes full control Of the Govern
ment on March 4, forget the causes
which have brought it back to
power' Will it allow the interna-
tional bankers to continue the
wretched policy of playing second
fiddle to Great Britainf If it does,
its tenure of power will be brief
indeed, for there awaits it soon an
other crushing defeat.
Senator Lodge, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee, proposes cooperation between
the United States, Canada, Aus
tralia, and New Zealand for the
purpose of protecting the unoccu-
pied and undeveloped regions of the
Pacific from Japanese imperialism
and expansion of the japanese pop
ulation.
The Hearst newspapers advocated
this very thing some months ago
On the occasion Of the statement
by the prime minister of New South
Wales that he had been approached
by the British government to cease
his opposition to the Japanese i'm
migration, to which he replied that
he would not, nor would any re-
sponsible man in Australia, cease
opposing Japanese immigration no
matter who asked it and no mat
ter whose interests were involved
in the asking.
We knew the vital economic ne
cessity for this attitude on the part
of all the British self-governing
colonies, and we knew their intel
ligence, so that we perfectly under
stood the force with which the
necessity for protection against Jap
anese immigration must come home
to the public consciousness of these
white people.
