In connection with the plan of such
parkways the Senate took a definite
step when it passed a joint resolu-
ton providing for survey of the
Virginia and Maryland banks of the
Potomac river between Washington
and Great Falls, with the idea of es-
tablishing public parks along them.
Senator Fernald of Maine. chairman
of the public buildings and grounds
committee, pointed TO the natural
beauties of the banks of the river
and the great advantage'to the people
of the National Capital the estab-
lishment of the proposed park would
be.
Representative J. Charles Linthi-
cum of Maryland. who recently orig
mated in the House the idea of es-
tablishing great national play
ground around Great Falls, while at
h the same time protecting the forest
alton and waters Of the Potomac. is
urging an early hearing before the
House committee on public buildings
and grounds.
Early and sympathetic considera-
ton of the proposed survey of the
upper river has been promised by
Representative John W. Langley of
Kentucky. chairman Of the House
committee.

Business on the Up Grade.

Encouraging reports are brought to
Washington by the chief bank exam
liners from the twelve regional dis
tricts into which the country is divid-
ed under the federal reserve law.
These men, by reason Of their posi-
tions. have their fingers on the finan-
cial pulse of the nation, and their COM
bined views give a more intimate and
more dependable insight into condi-
tons than could be obtained in any
other way. The expansion and con-
traction of loans and the purposes for
which loans are asked and made are
true indexes as to the state of bust
ness health, and when the survey of
these factors is on a nationwide scale
the conclusions arrived at are the most
reliable to be had.
1t was the unanimous opinion Of
these chief examiners that the depres-
sion from which the country has been
suffering has reached bottom every
where, and that business generally is
on the up grade. The improvement is
more marked in some districts than in
others, but nowhere is there pessimism
as to the future. More important even
than the actual improvement in the
matter Of leans is the betterment Of
morale. This is especially noticeable
in the agricultural regions, where
morale was at its lowest ebb. The

they now think they can see their
way out, and that is more than half
the battle. Though still cautious and
conservative as consequence of
their late experience. they are return
ing to the market as buyers, and the
result is already felt and will be felt
increasingly in every line Of trade and
industry.
While the chic, examiners take an
optimistic view of the outlook, they
by no means advise that caution
should be thrown to the winds. Their
observations do not lead them to be-
lieve that any great business boom is
close at hand. In fact, they emphasize
that recovery will have to be a slow
and gradual process. Their predictions
range from one to two or three years
as the time which will be required for
a return to full prosperity, and they
urge that in the meantime the cure
must be helped along by hard work
and thrift on the part of all the peo-
ple.. In the reaction from excessive
stimulation the business of the coun-
try became very, very sick. and it
can regain health only by the careful
building up Of new sound tissue to re-
place that wasted by excuses.

ings. These structures. built in q hurry
to meet the emergency Of the war.
are now falling into disrepair, and are
generally unsuitable for hospital serv-
ice. They are. in addition, dangerous
ly exposed To destruction by fire. AL
ready fires have occurred at the hos
pital, with the result that all the occu-
pants of the temporary wards and
buildings are in constant dread, a
state of mind seriously initiating
against recovery.
1t is, of course, assumed that even
tually these makeshift structures will
be replaced. They will. indeed. fall to
pieces in few seasons. even with dill
gent repairing. They were construct
ed only with the view of their tempo
rary use. perhaps for three or four
years. Some Of them have been in
service five years. In private business
they would have been abandoned long
ago. The government cannot afford to
continue them in service at Walter
Reed longer than the time required to
erect their successors III permanent
style.
Nothing less than the best equip.
ment should be supplied for an instr
tuition such as that on Georgia avenue.
The men cared for there are veterans
of the war, who have suffered wounds
and disease, Disagreement and loss of
limbs and senses. They are in the GUS
tody of the government for care and
cure and rehabilitation. and every pos.
sible aid to their recovery should be
supplied. The first essential is safe
and comfortable housing. and that is
lacking at Walter Reed for a large
number.
Funds are in hand for hospital de-
velopments, and there is no place
where they can better~ be expended
than at Walter Reed. which. from its
size and location, is the chief of the
government hospitals for the care of
the victims of the great war. The
recommendations of the medical board
just laid before Director Forbes. to be
soon presented to the President, should
be carried into effect speedily.

Gas Bomb May Prove To Be Great
Factor In Financial World Says
Roger w. Babson, Famous Expert

What has this to do with a finan-
cial article? you ask. 1t has a great
deal TO do with finance. The great
load on the financial world today is
Europe. The greatest difficulty with
Europe is the hard feelings and jeal-
ousy among certain nations. There
is plenty of money available to re-
build Europe and again to make her
factories hum and her frields blossom
forth. The difficulty is that those
who have the money feel that the
money would not be used for the res
toration of Europe, but rather simply
result in further fighting and de-
struction.
Hence all of the European govern
ments are in dire financial straits
and some are on the verge of bank
ruptcy.. This condition of affairs has
disrupted foreign trade and is jeop-
ardizing all foreign credits. 1t hangs
a great black cloud over the business
world.
But the deadly gas bomb may be
the means of bringing every nation
to it's senses. 1t Is actually convert
ing financiers, diplomats and hard
headed statesmen to those funda-
mentals OF honesty, justice, thrift, in
dustry and kindness which, in the
long run, form the basis of pros
perity. It is even possible that Eu-
rope may again experience a great
spiritual renaissance as took place 800
yers ago.
Bankers are watching this change
of attitude on the part of these for
egn delegates with great interest.
President Harding little realized
when calling this conference that he
was laying the seed for great in
ternational, spiritual revival. The
inventor Of the gas bomb and those
other chemists which since the arm
istice have invented gas infinitely
more dangerous than 1t was during
the war have also made their con-
tribution. For the first time for
many years a ray Of sunshine is
breaking through the international
clouds Let us watch the situation
most carefully. If the clouds finally
break and clear away, most rapid
change will take place in foreign and
American security markets, change
which should distinctly affect the
business index of the Babson chart,
which now stands below normal. Fol
| the first time in many years | am
somewhat hopeful for Europe and its
| recovery.
The Babson chart shows general
business Is per cent below normal a
| drop of 10 per cent from last week.
Business is experiencing a mid-win-
ter reaction that viii doubtless carry
well into February. There is good
| business to be had. however, for the
] man who goes after it aggressively.

RY Roaer w. Rahson

a very interesting fact has deVel-
oped in connection with the confer
ence for the limitation of ornaments.
At first thought this fact makes one
feel very discouraged, but on further
analysis it has some very optimistic
features. In other words, the one
thing which is causing the confer
ence the greatest trouble may be the
one thing that Is to bring the nations
together. / refer to the gas bomb.
1t is simple matter to make an
agreement relative to the building of
battleships and to hold a nation to
such an agreement. 1t takes a couple
of years to build a good battleship,
and it is impossible to hide battle-
ships. The nations of the world
know when any nation lays down
new keel for a new battleship. Bat
tleships cannot be kept in safety de-
posit vaults or hid in government
buildings. The limitation of subma-
rines and certain other forms of arm
aments is also practically possible.
Big Berthas are not as conspicuous
as battleships: gun factories are
more easily hid than shipyards; but
in the long run the making OF these
cannot be kept a secret.
1t, however, is absolutely impossi-
BILE to keep in touch with the manu-
facture of gas bombs. The German
government could keep in the base
ment of one OF its palaces enough
compressed gas to destroy all the
people in Paris and a good propor-
ton of the French army. Therefore,
though all nations might agree ON
the Limitation of gas from warfare
vet there would be no way to enforce
such an agreement. Moreover, as
the commercial interests Of the world
demand the building and use Of air.
planes in times of peace, the means
will always be available for the drop
ping of gas bombs. Hence, although
the conference may be successful in
limiting the building of battleships,
submarines and even other things,
vet it is helpless in limiting the man
ufacture of gas bombs, the most dam
gerous and deadly of all implements
of war.
AS a result of this the delegates
are passing through a most Interest,"
ing spiritual renaissance. They came
to Washington armed with statistics
and accompanied by the greatest
legal talent of their countries. Tney
are gradually coming to believe that
figures and agreements are OF little
value and that they need sneciallsts
on "feelinvs" rather than on Figures.
In short, those who came to SCOTT
have remained to pray. There is a
strong belief among the delegates OF
| today that the only solution of our
| international problems is the golden
rule and the principles that Jesus laid
down 1000 years ago.
