Arlington County
Chamber of Commerce

January Ii, 1922.
Editor, Alexandria Gazette,
Alexandria, Va,
Dear Sir:
The Arlington County Chamber OF
Commerce, whose work is CIVIC as well
as commercial, is seeking the enact
ment of legislation by the Assembly
of 1922, which will prevent the de-
Placement of our highways by insight

cent editorial the News Leader OF
Richmond says in condemning IN
slightly signboards along the roads:
"There is, for example, one con-
spicuous corner in Richmond, oc-
cupied by small retail store, whose
outer walls are covered with giarlng
signs that completely ruin the ap-
pearance of the neighborhood. On
Cary-Street road one never can get
a glimpse Of the landscape, unbroken
by signs, until one passes the city
limits. Then one comes into terri
tory over which, with the co-opera-
ton of the county, the Westhampton
Citizens Association has supervision.
Not sign is to be seen. If one is
tackled up on the highway, down 1t
! comes as soon as member OF the
association observes it. To this ac-
tivity, more than they realize 1t, Rich
mond people owe much of the delight
of the drive to the Country Club.
"Vigilance in combating the small
things that destroy city's beauty IS
second only in Importance to lntelllg-
ent planning"
The Westhampton Citizens As
sociation has promised its help in the
matter. Will you do the same?
Virginia is spending millions IN

not only in a good roadDed, but IN the

Treaties Should Be Ratified or Enacted by
Both Bodies of Congress


The vital point in the whole discussion is the door which our nation
al Constitution leaves wide open for the crippling of a treaty by the house
through the exercise of its power to deny appropriations. II, for instance,
the house had remained obstinate at the time the Texas treaty was nego-
tated that splendid state might still have remained outside our Union.
The remedy is to give the house the right to pass a treaty.
In three successive congresses have introduced a resolution embody-
ing an amendment to the Constitution giving to the house of representa-
hyes equal power with the senate in the ratification of treaties, and hope
those gentlemen will give that proposition some consideration, in view Of
recent international developments and of the trend which this debate has
taken. The French chamber of deputies, the English parliament, the Ital-
AN chamber, all have a part in the ratification of treaties. The United
States house of representatives is the only body among democratic govern
ments in the world today which is deprived Of the right to participate in
the making Of that part of the law which is embraced in a treaty.
Nesting the treatymaking power in the senate was a survival of an
Gent mistrust Of the people and its representative body. Independent Of
this consideration, as a treaty is a law and congress is the law-making
kody, the plain deduction is that treaties, as well as statute law, should
he ratified or enacted by both bodies of congress.

For the First Time in Americas History We
Have a Military Policy


For the first time in the history of the United States we have a mill
tary policy. BY that mean we have a definite plan, passed by congress,
part Of the law Of the land. That plan or policy is the amended national
defense act of 1921. This act provides that in time of war the army of
the United States will be one army.
The three components, the regular army, the National Guard and
the reserve forces, will be amalgamated. That army will be primarily
composed Of what we choose to call citizen soldiers, in other words, men
who are ordinarily civilians but who have had a certain amount Of train
ing in peace time and therefore are fit to go on a battlefield and can be
put on a battlefield without being slaughtered Unfortunately and USE
lessly the way We have always done in the past. .e~a
Now one of the provisions Of that act has to do with the citizens
military training camps, in which citizens receive a certain amount of
military training. If the young men who want to go to these camps are
going to them, the civilians Of every community have got to encourage
them in every possible way. @ssAs ~
