an opportunity to call up the Jones

The general feeling expressed in

to the Jones amendment and wishes
to have the fiscal relations continued

tion from the federal Treasury to
supplement the payments from the

TACTFUL PRESSURE

U. S. Desire to Hold AIoof,
Says Official.

Refusal of the United States to par
ticipate in the Genoa conference may
be viewed as the first step in cam
Daign of "tactful pressure" to pro-
mote economic rehabilitation of
Europe. il was said today by a high
official of the American government.
1t should not be regarded. this Of

United States desire to hold aloof
from the grave problems confronting
European nations.

The United States cannot afford to

Must Balance Budgets.
Economic problems. regarded by
this country as OF supreme Importance
in the consideration of methods of
world rehabilitation, include princi-
pally the Encouragement of German
reparations and balancing of budgets
by certain foreign nations.
Without consideration of these
questions in the view of the United
States, it was said. there could be no
practical attempt at worldwide
economic rcadjustment.
While it is thought improbable that
there would be change in the agen-
da of the Genoa conference before its
meeting on April 10, which would
permit the United States to be repre-
sented officially, officials said the
American ambassador at Rome might
attend the conference to report it's
proceedings to this government.

boats IN CELLARS
| USED BY CITIZENS
Resident Tells of Neighbor
Buried in Muddy Street
Up to Ears.

Residents in the vicinity of 39th
and Fessenden streets daily have to
plow through a muddy sea to get to
and from their homes. The Star man
was told today. The mud out there
is SO saturated with water that the
heavy rains will not run off, The
water cften runs down into the cell
lars of the homes.
Just by way of illustrating the real
conditions prevailing in that terri
tory Lee r. Downs, 1861 Fessenden
street. gave to The Stag man a little
story which he believes describes
better the conditions there. espe-
cially in view OF the fact that they
have beer. unable to get any coal
wagons or trucks up to their doors
with coal. Here it is:
In Mud Up to Ears.
"A man was walking along the
street when he noticed a fairly good
hat out in a muddy rut. He reached
out with his cane and gave it a
sharp cut, and was dumfounded to
hear a voice from under the hat ex-
claim:
Hey. there. What the heck are
you trying to do?'
Then he made the alarming dis
covery that the owner was up to
his ears in mud.
"Great heavens" he exclaimed. is
the mud that deep over there?
Deep, answered the victim Why.
man. alive. I'm standing on a load
of coal"
Use Canoes In Cellar.
Two years ago. Mr.. Downs said.
"all the property holders on Fessenden
street east of Belt road were ordered
to move their houses back. so the
street could be widened and extended
We complied with the order and have
been in a sea of mud and water ever
since. without getting our street i'm
proved, and as the permanent sewer
main has not been run, we are forced
to go canoeing In our own cellars. as
we cannot establish 2 drain in our
areaways."
This section of the city is in a par
ticularly bad condition. owing to the
Park section. where the men and
women are getting up petitions beg
ging for better streets. so that they
will not have to use the sidewalks for
vehicles.
The only street in that section for
which an appropriation has been al
lowed in the District appropriation
bill by both the House and the Senate
is Yuma street from 38th to 39th
streets. The appropriation calls for a
paved street thirty feet wide, and
$4,000 is allowed for this work.
Senate conferees on the District ap-
preparation bill are expected to make
strong fight in conference for the
Senate amendments. which were in
serted to provide for improvement of
few more streets than the House
provided for. The senators made a
personal survey of many of the
streets and know their condition.
