Honolulu Speaker Believes
East Most Favorable
For Union.

4 pan-Pacihc league of nations

declared Alexander Hume Ford, OF
Honolulu. director of the Pan-Pa-

northwest. yesterday.
When Senator Lodge, acting IN
capacity of an american delegate to
the International disarmament con-
ference, announced the four-power
pact" the speaker said. he an
nounced the birth of a pan-Pacific
league of nations. 1t seems but
right that Senator Lodge should
have been selected to make this an
nouncement. because, two years ago
in the midst of his attack on the
league OF nations. he made the fol-
lowing statement to me in regard to
the pan-Pacific league:
- believe in such a league l
believe that if there is ever to be an
effective league of nations, it will
have its beginning in the Pacific,
where the traditions are traditions
of peace. Europe is not the place
for the start to be made The ma
tons of the Pacific can set the ex-
annie, because they have not be-
come accustomed TO generations OF
strife and racial hatreds. They can
discuss their differences among
themselves. because they have not
continually fought each other"

Third Senate Conference,

Opposition to the administra-

this was 81 to I. A proposal to

twenty-five years, likewise was re-

The decision TO report out the
bill and push for its immediate
passage was unanimous. Its con-
sideration probably will be begun
on Monday. Amendments will be
offered by both Democrats and Re-
publicans. II was thought, as well.
. that the debate will introduce the
whole subject of large ornaments

prepared to demand immediate pay

Bonus Bill q Problem.
The bonus bill. which will be the
subject Of another party conference
ats an early date, promises even a
mere knotty problem for the lead
ers. 1t was agreed that there
should be a bonus measure, but
there are almost as many opinions
as there are Senators on the ques-
tien of where the money shall be
derived. Sales tax advocates want
that levy. Others believe interest
from the foreign debts should be
utilized to provide bonus funds.
There are. as well, at least half
a dozen Republicans who are out
spollerrly against a bonus in any
form These include Senators Borah
Whdsworth and Edge.

EDUCATOR LAYS
STRESS ON VALUE
OF FAIRGROUNDS
Virginia Superintendent
Before Congressional
Committee.

All phases Of the public school
situation in the District were re-
viewed by the Joint Congressional
committee yesterday when Or. Har-
ris Hart, superintendent of the pub
lie schools Of Virginia. appeared be-
fore the committee at their request
to offer suggestions for improve
ment OF the local situation.
DIR. Hart emphasized the neces-
sity of adequate Fairgrounds.
AT one time Fairgrounds were
held to be fads and frills. but peo-
pIe have changed their minds con-
corning recreation" Hart insisted.
TT is now considered by educators
to be an Insurance. policy on which
the state will get a fair return on
its investment in mental educa-
ton" he told the committee.
In questioning DR.. Hart, Repre-
sentative Walters, Pennsylvania.
brought out that although Virginia
dc es not have free text books in all
the schools. Superintendent Hart
was wholeheartedly in favor OF the
system.
Prices Of Books.
Ut. Sdt& ht CuAl-
dren take better care OF The books
that are owned by the State than
they are prone TO do when the books
are their own property.
Another point in favor of the fire.,
textbooks advanced by DR.. Har
was that the children buying thei,
books in small quantities wer'
obliged to pay high prices for them
whereas the State. by buying IL
large quantities, could get them a
a reduced rate.
The educator believes that schoo
buildings she lid contain ffteen o.
sixteen rooms and should be of two
story construction, IL the site dit
not permit of a one-story building
of this size. He recommended ade
quate study halls. gymnasium and |
playground at least half a blocl
in area.
When asked il he considered play
grounds indispensable, Dr. Hart re
piled emphatically that he did.
FaSors Physical Examination.
Senator King reminded the com
mittee that in the rural district
these recreation centers were not 81
essential. because the boys an,
girls had natural Fairgrounds, an,
the duties that devolved upon then
in the way of chores supplied al
the exercise they required. Dr
Hart agreed.
Representative Walters inquire
into the desirability OF a medica
examination and evoked the repl,
that Virginia was about to pas
lrastic legislation in regard to the
examination OF pupils. This woult
be done. he was told. primarily b!
the teachers who were receiving
sufficient training to administer al
elementary examination embracing

and eyes. They also would be laugh
