Central America.

THERE great doings today in Guatemala
City. 1t is dual celebration of the separa-
tion of Central America from Spanish rule, and of
the birth of the Central American federation,
modelled largely upon that of the United States.
just 100 years ago today the FIVE central states
with Chiapas, now north province of Mexico and
then part Of Guatemala, declared their independ-
ence of Spain at Guatemala City. They had been
Spanish for nearly 900 years.
At first they placed themselves under the
stronger government of Mexico save that Salvador
alone declared for union with the United States.
The rest felt the warmer tie of blood in the Mexi-
can attachment. This union, however, lasted but q
couple of years when in 1928, they again declared
independence a federation, Chapas remaining
Mexican. Their subsequent history has been one
OF war among themselves and revolutions. In the
twelve years of the second federation, the union
had on average S1ler for less than each
two weeks in some part other of its territory.
But sanity and stability have grown with the
development of resources and the opening of ways
OF communication, building of railways and de-
vehopment of industry. In later years they have
had fairly settled conditions with the United States
acting sort of counsellor and guide, or occa-
sionally big brother, until now revolution
has become the exception rather than the rule.
So closely, indeed, have they drawn in inter
relations that today there will also be proclaimed
at Tegucigalpa the chosen capital in Honduras the
new federation of Guatemala, Honduras and Saliva
dor, into which it is we'll assured Nicaragua and
Costa Rica will come within few months. There
is sufficient reason to believe this union will per-
sist Economically they will all profit greatly.
Their people speak the same language, have the
religion and are of like temperament. There
is every inducement and every fundamental for
tinued union and but one rock upon which they
can shpwreck; that OF individual and personal po-
1tcal ambition.

Placing the Blame.

THERE is the usual fuss and the usual exaggcra-
ton over the "iniquities," and the failure in
operation Of the restrictive immigration law Presi-
dent Harding not far wrong, if at all, when he
placed the blame squarey upon the steamship COM
panieS 1t is hard to teach old dog new tricks
and these companies have sinncd so long in inmi-
grafton transportation it is hard for them to reform
Steerage passenger business has been very prof
itabl, and they very reluctant to limit it. There
are not so many of these companies that they can
not organize an immigration clearing house of infor-
nation. The cables at their command They
have their booking offices and agencies and they all
know every ship that is at sea. 1t is but a matter
of doing it, TO establish records of the number Of
immigrants of each nationality en- route to this
migration Bureau will give them all the information
which they have.
But there should also be like information bu-
reau in either the State Labor Department that
would make it impossible for more than the per-
mitted number of immigrants to get passports dur
ing any given month. Those refused in month
might be listed for preference in the following
month and would-be immigrants might even be al
lowed to book for passports in future month per-
mitting them time for preparation for sailing.
The law is young. 1t is wholly in its re-
quirements and restrictions. 1t has not yet got
smoothly in gear and the steamship companies
seem to have had a desire to make it sufficiently
bothersome to get its repeal After they have had
to carry back few hundred of the surplus they
will have different attitude. Then they will begin
to cooperate with each other at the Federal de-
partments and the law will be found entirely work
able.

Preiudice for Past Sins.

- OTTON is called king" and steel is said TO
be the economic index of this country S
prosperity But after all else is claimed OF
80 there are but two basic agriculture,
ofTEhich cotton is but part, and transportation.
1t IS singular that Congress does not seem to ap-
pfecate the importance of the latter. 1t is proposed
60 increase the tax on corporations per cent We
do not question the wisdom Of this. But it is also
proposed to continue the transportation,
which will make it harder for every corporation to
pay this per cent, while it will continue to hold
dpYn railroad traffic.
o. The United States has spent hundreds OF mil
lsens OF dollars on highways. 1t has given hun
dreds OF millions to induce the construction OF
railroads. Now it seems determined to prove that
all OF this expenditure unwarranted by hamper
ing the free flow of traffic and prevent giving
the maximum OF transportation advantage. These
expenditures however show the realization of the
importance OF transportation facilities. This can
hardly be exaggerated Yet sheer prejudice lett
over from an unpopularity earned by the rail-
roads in the past, causes Congress to visit the
sins OF the railroads in the past upon the people
OF today who dependent upon them.
The only question at issue in this tax which
is paid by the shippers and collected from con-
sun1ers, is that il restricts the free flow of COM
modties and adds to their price, at time when
these are primary factors in industrial recovery.
It lowers the quantity of traffic and cuts down
railroad revenues. If Congress would repeal it
and pay the railroads in money what the gov
ernment owes them, giving them a chance to earn
what they owe the government, nothing else would
do more to restore normally and nothing would
be- OF greater aid to the basic industry of agr-
culture.

A Living Wage.

THE United States is not an ordinary employer.
\ 1t is not engaged in competitive business.
tits its own customer and its patron. 1t
has work done for its and all its output
is paid for both in materials and labor by the people
as s-whoIe in proportion far possible, to their
financial ability. AS employer the government is
inexcusable if it does not pay a living wage
"A living wage can only be based upon the cost
.oi living. Federal authority says that prices are
nor-8o per cent above the normal of 1914. A New
York statistical organization puts this percentage at
o. The same Federal authority gave the Navy
Yard machinists a wage scale but As per cent above
Lfat-of 1914, after hearings. 1t granted them but
Scents on hour. Even the basis of an. increased
of living OF 63 per cent this should have been
81 cents an hour. On the 80 per basis it should
be about 90 cents hour.
If the wage scale Of 1914 was not than a
,Ipfpg wage, and no pretends that it was, then
shepe is excuse whatever for the 73 cents deci-
SION. 1t is unfair, un-American and coming from
the government, is without justification. If it was
the offer of private employer engaged in competi-
tive business and dependent upon profits the con-
,eiusion might be wholly different. 1t might then be
but choice between this or nothing-between the
Tow wage or closing the plant.
This is of the government and if Con-
gress has not provided sufficient funds for the
larger pay what is fair and just, than the right
scale as based the cost of living should be paid
until Congress make the necessary increase of
appropriation. 1t is not economy for any employer
1ss@J5zy lower wage than is fair and in proportion
to his ability to pay. This government can pay
what is right and Congress- il this is brought to its
attention will not consider paying less The people
do not ask for nor want that kind of saving.

Mars and Uranus are both in

ogy. This day has omen of ill, but
all who are forewarned may guard
against the planetary influences
which subtly affect the mind.
During this sway mental sugges-
tion may be potent as there will be
unusual sensitiveness to thought
transmission.
Mars is in a place disturbing and
conductive to irritability and even
quarreling.
The rule gives power to the brute
forces in humanity. and for that
reason 1t is well to safeguard the
person and property.
Increase of crime is foreshadowed
and there will be a strange distor-
tion OF moral standards even among
persons OF station and education.
Warning is given that scandals
among persons in authority in Busi-
ness and government affairs will be
exposed in the public prints.
Uranus is in a place today that is
held to encourage intrigue and mis-
representation.
Women may be especially suscep-
tible to this malign influence, which
may encourage them to dishonest
transaction, in business.
The position of Uranus, which is
on the cusp of the eigth house
threatens many drownings and ex-
traordinary accidents. 20
The rule is threatening for avia-
tion and no risks should be taken.
Extreme caution shopld rule today.
Persons whose birthdate 1t Is

cess awaits wise effort.
Children born on this day may be
careless and fond Of pleasure.

Censored.

1--WE HUNDRED moving picture theaters in
New York City have determined to exclude
all Arbuckle films Not one of these films should
ever again be shown in any theater anywhere.
The motion picture houses, and the industry, owe
this to themselves and their own regulations If
such action is not taken everywhere these films
should be forbidden by public authority. This too
should include films showing anyone in the
Arbuckle party.
No one is disposed to condemn all the motion
picture artists and organizations for this one cpl
sode, but neither can anyone be expected to be-
leve that such affairs as the Arbuckle party, are
singular, exceptionally rare. 1t was the occa-
sion not alone the result, that is the stain 1t is
the fact that result came natural conse-
quence that must arouse those responsible for the
industry
II calls for a new set of rules to govern those
employed. The millions who enjoy moving pic
lures will demand that they shall not be made

of character debasement.; Employers of moving

A Little Nonsense.

To the Editor, The Washington Her.Id:
We drink. but were ever thirsty
We eat. but never enough;
We love, but love is puff of smoke.
And life is a pinch Of snuff.
The world is but circus,
Made up of mostly clowns.
The other half of the show consists
OF fal-dals and ladies' gowns.
The blind man is reading his paper,
The minister's drinking his wine.
The legless mans cutting a caper,''
The pauper's preparing to dine.
We walk, we sleep, we run.
Keep still, and cry, and cuss:
We laugh at any kind of joke,
But the biggest joke Is on us

National Bogies.

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
lnternationalism should be the
ideal of all just governments (if it
be indeed possible for any govern
ment to be just). 1t is only the
chickering's of narrow minds that
keeps the glorious Utopian dream
from being realized; however, there
is much reality in Utopianism.
Oscar Wilde said that the only
reality was in imagination. while
Keats stated that only through i'm
agination could truth be obtained.
Prejudice between Jew and Gentle
should be dissolved as speedily as
the league of nations What the
world needs is a new religion or no
religion. II religion interferes with
marriage, give up religion, for re-
ligion is of the earth, but love is
immortal. Aye, love is super-re-
ligion.

hammedan than drunken Chris

New York City Primary.

NEW YORK CITY is to be congratulated.
IN At the primaries on Tuesday Henry H.
Curran, the fusion candidate for mayor, was nomi-
mated, getting > majority of votes his three
opponents. 1t is most fortunate also that these
others now pledge him their support at the election,
when he will be opposed by Mayor Hylan and
Tammany. very light vote cast at the
primary as it seems to outsiders, Mr. Curran hav-
ing but 10000 to $4,000 for the other three and
this in city of 100000 people with the women
sharing the ballot.
1t is reported that large portion Of the vote
was cast by the women who for the first time
had part in a city election. But there no
more significant result than the vote of Judge
Haskell, who was elected Judge as a wet and
made his mayoralty campaign on the issue.
He ran third with less than 10000 votes after
an active, well financed canvass. This would in
dieate that New York is hospitable it would have
its dampness for its guests rather than for home
consumption and that anti-prohibition is more
controlling there than anywhere else.
With united Republican support and all anti
Tammany Democrats also favoring the fusion
ticket, it should win. New York would then be
once more free from the Tammany control and
Mr.. Curran has had the political experience and
training which promises clean, economical ad-
ministrztion without attempting too much or being
lured from the essentials to undertake the merely
ideal
