Congress and Cuba.

Should Congress send committee
to Cuba to investigate conditions there?
In one view of the case, yes. If in
PREVENTION is to take place Congress
must order it. and hence the action
should be taken on information Sc
cured by Congress. Gen. Crowder,
now in Havana looking into matters,
is an excellent and competent man.
but he is not the representative of
Congress. His trip is on the order
of the President. He is soldier; and
the question Of Intervention should
be decided on much more than its mill
tary aspect. Politics and finance are
involved. and they call for investiga-
ton and recommendation by civilians.
AS The Star stated last week, in
PREVENTION. if possible, should be
avoided. There is little. if any, senti-
ment in favor Of it in this country, and
the suggestion is unwelcome to all
but a few in Cuba. And the few
Cubans who favor it have less thought
about the relief Of the present situa.
ton than of permanent American &C.
cupation. They want Cuba made
American territory.
At the same time, if Intervention is,
or becomes, necessary. America must
intervene. Cuba agreeing. we have
made ourselves responsible for order
in the island. and If disorder prevails
or impends we must take charge.
It is likely that the situation has
been exaggerated to us. At present,
a "jumpy" spirit is abroad in the
world, and is being played upon gen.
orally for one purpose or another.
Davy Crockett's rule, let US
be sure we are right before going
ahead.

British Unemployment.

England's unemployment problem
r. one Of the most serious factors of
the decidedly complex situation pre-.
vailing today in the United Kingdom.
Estimates Of the number Of men and
women who are out Of work run into
the millions. A large percentage of
the former are ex.soldiers and sailors,
whose Jobs were not restored to them
when they returned from the service.
This was not because OF any lack of
patriotic appreciation, but from the
fact that there were no jobs to be
given them. Before the war began
there was a surplus Of labor in Eng.
land and despite all efforts to dis.
tribute it through the labor bureaus
maintained by the government there
was such congestion in the larger
centers that the average unskilled
wage Garner was able to work only
about three or four days a week.
while many Of the skilled workers
could not be sure of continuous EN-.
ployment.
NOW the situation is SO bad that
hundreds Of thousands OF men and
women are at the point of destitution,
The government is undertaking to
ere for them by allotments of funds
j these are meager. and the cost OF
ling is high. Yet in some cases
there il a stubborn spirit on the part
NJ the unemployed, For example. II is
reported that there is a great short
age of domestic servants and that
women are refusing to accept service
at the extraordinarily high rate Of 81
shillings a week, preferring to sub
sist on the government pittance rather
than enter households in this capacity
There is danger in this situation

Senator Nc ormick Returning.

Senator Mccormick, who has been
in Europe for some weeks appraising
the situation there, has sailed for
home. He will land before Mr.. Hard

it is thought quite likely he will jour-
ney at once to Marion and talk over
matters with the President-elect.
While abroad the Illinois senator

AS a member of the Senate Mr..
Mccormick will have vote on what.

subject Of Americas relations to the

the basic and vital American right Is
that of voting representation IN Con
sress and the electoral college and
that without this right there can De
for US no participation in American
representative self-government will not
be frightened from support OF the con
stitutional amendment which is neces'
sary to secure this right and power
BY the warning that only after a long
hard fight in Congress can victory be
won.
These Westinghouse have enlisted
for the war. They are not cutters
or deserters.
No one knows better than Wash
ingtonians that nothing worth while
is ever won without a fight.
To retain financial equity in the re-
lations between nation and capital
they have for years struggled desper-
ately against overwhelming odds. Sew
eral times they have resumed fighting
after the official count of nine against
them and after the opposition had ap'
parently scored a knockout. They are
fighting today with as much pluck
and vigor as ever, and were never
more confident of winning final sub
stantial victory in their campaign for
American fair play.
Why should the Washingtonian
think it will be easier for him to win
for himself political equity than it has
been to retain financial equity?
The 437 900 Americans of the Dis
trict are so clearly entitled to every
American right, privilege and power
not inconsistent with national control
Of the capital that the demand in their
behalf made by the pending consti-
tutional amendment will in the end. if
unwaveringly pushed, be irresistible.
OF course. thoughtful Washing
tonians will not be diverted from cam
paigning for the vital power of ma
tional representation by the suggestion
Of easy victory if they will limit them
selves to fight for the minor local.
government concession. promised by
the bill now pending before the House
District committee.
If Congress granted to District resi-
dents all Of the municipal voting priv
ileges asked in this bill we would still
be a thousand miles from even local
self-government. There is no real self
government unless the community
participates in the lawmaking, taxing
and tax-spending powers. The pend
ing bill does not suggest any municipal
or territorial legislature. The courts
have rigidly restricted the powers Of
general legislation which Congress can
constitutionally delegate to- such a
legislature, if one were created.
Congress. with all the municipal
Iaw-making, taxing and tax-spending
power. will be the Districts sole
municipal legislature, and the Presi-
dent with his veto power will be the
Districts real municipal executive,
whether the Commissioners, the Public
Utilities Commission and the board Of
education are elected or appointed.
Whatever benefits may be derived by
the community from the privilege Of
electing these executive officials they
do not include any real increase in
substance Of local self-government.
II we abandon our hard fight for
the real power Of national representa-.
ton under the delusion that through
the passage Of this bill we can easily
Win genuine local self-government we
bunco ourselves.
