NO WASHINGTON COMMENT

WASHINGTON. Jan. 6.---American
officials are unwilling to comment,
at the present stage. on the delibera-
tions of the allied council at Cannes,
but they are giving the impression
that the United States will be repre-
sented adequately at the economic
conference which is TO meet at Genoa
in March.
The preponderance of official opin-
ion just now seems to favor Ameri-
can participation by fully accredited
delegates. rather than by unofficial
observers, but that is a point that
will have to be decided when the de-
tailed purposes OF the conference
have become known.
In regard to the reported proposal
Of the council to recognize In effect
the soviet government Of Russia, the
attitude of the Washington govern
ment is less clear. Outwardly. how
ever, there has been no indication
pointing TO change of opinion since
the American refusal to recognize or
have any intercourse with the soviet
officials was set forth in Secretary
Colby's note of August, 1920.
II Is known that some officials OF
the present administration have been
much impressed by the arguments
advanced for soviet recognition and
resumption of full trade relations
with Russia, but on the contrary, re-
peated discussions OF the Russian
situation at President Hardings
cabinet table have also developed a
strong opposition TO any recession
from the position taken heretofore by
the American government.

tuberculosis In this District. In twen-
ty-one years there has been a dirninu-
tion in that local death rate totaling
the saving Of ia lives.
Tuberculosis is no longer regarded
as en- incurable aniction. It may be
prevented by proper living and cured
by proper treatment. The campaign
against It IL based upon sound prin-
ciples Of medical science. The local
association, which is working to this
end, has the benefit Of the expert ad-
vice OF the foremost sanitarians and
physicians in this country. 1t 10 in a
position to apply its measures with q
maximum Of efficiency II the means
are provided. 1t is up to the people OF
Washington to give their pennies for
seals to keep this work going. to in
crease it in scope and. therefore, in
effectiveness.
Buy the seals. which are merely re.
ceipts for contributions to this fund
that is being expended so efficiently
and faithfully to make Washington a
healthier city! Use the seals to spread
the word widely Of this beneflcent en-.
terprise. which affects every Washing.
tonian Of every age and in every sta

The Constitution.

There are some prominent men in
politics who want the sentiment OF
the people sounded on a proposition
for q constitutional convention to IRE
wise and modernize the Constitution
Of the United States" They would be
glad. indeed, to see that proposition
take precedence Of all others. and the
campaign two years hence fought on
it. They think 1t overshadows every.
thing else, and would stir the country
as nothing else could.
These men fall into two divisions.
The spirit Of one division Is frankly
cynical and patronizing. The Consti.
tuition was good thing in its day and
way. and the men who drew it had
considerable capacity for public bust.
ness. But why make a fetish OF the
instrument. and incompatible and i'm.
peccable heroes Of its authors? Let
us no longer be ruled by those old
codgers from their urns.
The spirit of the other division fs
thoroughly respectful. 1t pays tribute
to the great charter as the wonder of
its day, and to the men who fashioned
it as great public benefactors. But the
present day calls for new instru.
ment. We are living in a world radi.
cally different from and far beyond
the world Of Washington and his fel.
lows. Let us do for our day what they
did for theirs. taking all the discov-
cries and progress Of the past hundred
years into account. and making them
do duty in the conduct Of our govern.
mental affairs.
We come thus to Tim Campbell's g
famous question: What is the Consti.
tuition between friends? Shall We pre-.
serve it. and continue to amend It a
progress may require, or scrap it. and
put something new and up-todate in
its place?

the lower tastes Of the people.
Several times in the past this effort
has been made to bring up the Amer
ican stage to its former standard ana
to make the theater in this country
an agency of real cultural develop
ment. But many elements have handi-
capped them because Of their failures.
Now and then sincere producers have
without regard to profit persisted In
the presentation Of admirable works.
but their successes have been few and
not enco lraging. Now an organiza-
ton has been formed which embraces
most Of the larger enterprises. and it
is this association that has now pro-
claimed its purpose to proceed along
the lines of restoration and recovery.

The Fight for Health.

Once more the Christmas seals''
have been put on sale. Once more the
people Of the District are asked to
buy these little stickers that mean so
much to the community in continued
work for health and life. Last year
2.62S,982 seals were sold. These
yielded s26.2S9.s2, and from othor
sources funds were obtained to make
a total revenue Of $2s, ,376.76. Five per
cent Of the proceeds Of the seal sale
went to help in the national work,
but all the remainder was spent here
in the District. in supporting nutrition
clinics. in providing free lunches for
underweight children. for maintain.
ing a summer health day camp for
tuberculous children. for occupational
therapy and other work. for tubercu-
losis hospital patients, in educational

Three Men and the Church.

Mr.. Beveridge's first appearance in
public since his defeat for the Senate
was in New York the other night at
an anniversary meeting Of the Ameri.
can Bible revision committee. where
he delivered an address in keeping
with the occasion. and which in its
tribute to the Bible and it's influence
on men and human conduct would
have done credit to the most eminent
pulpiteer Of the day.
There are men-sincere admirers Of
Mr.. Beveridge, and liberal appraisers
Of his performances in our public af-
fairs-who think that he took the
wrong road at the outset: that the
church and not the Senate house
should have been his goal, and that
had he chosen according to his best
gifts he would have become one Of the
first and most influential churchmen
Of his generation.
This same assessment has been
made OF William J. Bryan and Of
Bourke Cochran, orators Of power and
eminently successful in politics. Mr..
Beveridge Is a Methodist, Mr.. Bryan
a Baptist and Mr.. Cochran @ Roman
Catholic:
All three attained political eminence
early. AZ young mon they showed In
their public addresses q serious.
mindedness and a Difference to moral
issues that set them apart from the
run Of beginners seeking political pre-.
ferment. They wrought upon their
audiences not by means OF anecdote
and witty quip,but by sober argument
and sustained flights Of high fancy.
And all three have had large rewards.

Politics at Home
Er. McAdoo's Ride.
This is from Fresno, Calf:

InlS 19 1fOn ffS8nC, C81u..
William Gibbs McAdoo OF Los An
ury. was arrested in Tulare county
yesterday afternoon and cited to ap-
pear before Judge J. q. Clark to an
swer . charge OF speeding At the rate
Of hfty-one miles an hour. According
McAdoo. he pursued the McAdoo car,
containing Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo and
their chauffeur. three miles. McAdoo
was en- route to Fresno. where he ad-
dressed the bar associations Of three
the reputation Of failing drivers
caught exceeding fifty miles an hour
In Tulare county.
Nothing further by wire since Mr..
McAdoo was "pinched." 1t is prob
ably safe to assume. however, that
Mr.. McAdoo was not Jailed.
Fifty-one miles an hour was going
some-a lively clip. But there were
reasons.
Mr.. McAdoo was en- route to fill an
engagement. He was particular on
the point. He is a newcomer in the
Golden state. and desirous OF making
friends. An invitation to address a bar
association had claims on his atten-
ton.
Accepted popular report has it that
he is desirous Of second try at the
democratic nomination for President
In 1920 he was an eastern aspirant
In 1924 he will be by transference Of
residence western aspirant. 1t will
be important. therefore, for him to
SHOW up" at the next democratic ma
tional convention as strongly in favor
as possible with his new environment.
True, Mr.. McAdoo is q national flg-
ure. His case at the national conven-
ton two years hence will not rest
solely on geographical lines. Still. it
will help If it appears that he has
made pronounced impression on his
western neighbors and friends, and
has them behind him in his latest
venture.
This explains. and almost excuses
that burst Of speed on that California
roadway. 1t was a characteristic per-
formanee. Mr.. McAdoo. as usual.
wanted to get there. And he must
have smiled approvingly If, with or
without orders, his man at the wheel
stepped on the gas and began burning
a hole in the wind. It was a great
race against time, and Mr.. McAdoo
won.

The Central American Conference

lOElOTrO" a conference opens III
this city on the subject of the reduc
ton Of land forces of the five Central
American states, Guatemala, Salvador,
Honduras. Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
This conference assemblies on the in
vi,ation of the United States. which
will he represented in the person Of
the Secretary of State and another
delegate. The object is to seek basis
of agreement whereby the five states
may lessen their land ornaments as a
means Of economy and as a step to-
ward assured international peace on
the isthmus.
This is an important procedure.
vital to the interests of the five states.
and, as the United States stands as
sponsor for the plan. to this country
as well. 1t is hoped that not only may
the Central American republics be
thus released from serious burden Of
military maintenance. but that they
may be brought into closer relations.
Unfortunately. these five countries
of the American isthmus have not al
ways been at peace with one another.
Their wars have laid upon them a
heavy burden. They have in recent
years been drawing closer together.
however. and quite recently an at
tempt was made to form a confedera-
ton which. while unsuccessful, was
yet productive of good il that better
understandings were developed be-
tween the five nations.
1t is greatly to the interest Of the
United States that all Of the republics
on this hemisphere should prosper.
and especially that all should remain
at peace. both domestic and interna-
t!onal The United States has con-
sistently endeavored to advance the
welfare of it's neighbors in the south,
has assumed over them the role Of
guardian against European aggres.
sion and has disclaimed as to them
any purpose of aggression or acquisi-
ton. 1t is therefore in a position to
propose with sincere unSelf1shness
measures for their aid and advance
Inent, ana the suggestion Ol arms re-
duction extended to the five Central
American republics was thus inspired
and has been most gratifyingly re-
ceived in that spirit.
These meetings between the Latin
American countries, whether held
here or elsewhere. are helpful in that
they are productive OF better under
standing. 1t is especially helpful when
the meetings are held. as Is this one,
in Washington. so that the co-opera-
tive attitude of the United States can
be most fully appreciated.
Practical benefits will come to these
five republics If an arms reduction
treaty can be written and ratified.
Each Of them will be aided financially
and industrially. The danger Of con-
f1ict will be reduced. Peace will be
more definitely assured. All Of these
possible objects are greatly desired by
the United States, which will rejoice
if they can be accomplished.

Tax:Exempt Securities Problem

states even follow this practice: They
insist that for the exemption of these
securities from federal taxation Con-
Gress and not the Constitution is re-
sponsible.
In opposition to these arguments
are President Harding. Secretary Mel
lon the ways and means committee.
the attorneys for the Treasury De-
partment and the legislative drafting
service, and more than a score of the
most important national organiza-
tions which are supporting the pro-
posal for a constitutional amendment.
Representative Green. father Of the
measure. explains their position that
q, constitutional amendment is neces-
sary as follows:
1t was generally considered by
lawyers that the case Of Brushaber
Va. the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany Gao u. 81 indicated that the
Supreme Court would hold that the
words from whatever source de-
rived" used in the sixteenth amend
ment. did not extend the taxing
power to any new subjects. whenever
the question came definitely before
the court This anticipation was
realized in the case of Evans Ns.
Gore (253 Z. S.. e45). decided June /
1920.
In this case it appeared that the
income tax had been levied upon the
salary of a federal judge. who paid
the tax under protest and sued to
recover the amount. This case finally
went to the Supreme Court. where II
was held that the words from what
ever source derived" should be con-
strued in connection with the Ian
guage OF the following clause in the
amendment. without apportionment
among the states" and that the OBJ
ject and purpose Of the amendment
was merely to remove all occasion
otherwise existing for an apportion-
ment and that 1t did not extend the
taxing power to any new or excepted
subjects.
While this construction seems
somewhat forced. it should be re.
membered that the original income
tax statute was held invalid on the
ground that it could only be i'm
posed when apportioned among the
several states. and that the primary
object Of the sixteenth amendment
undoubtedly was to remove the neces-
sity for such apportionment.
Justice Holmes and Justice Bran
deis dissented from the decision, but
1t has now become accepted as final
among all lawyers who have made
any Investigation Of the recent de-
ctsions," Representative Green says.
