RULE BY FASCINATION

T LLOYD GEORGES address at Manches.
IL ter possessed In high degree the char
acteristic glitter. the characteristic bril-
lantly coated nac"uraCy Of statement and
the crisp felicity uf phrase with which the
British Premier has defended himself in n
long series OF crises. 1t is impossible 70
withhold admiration for opportunlsm of this
dazzling type" iIlumincd by the personal
magnetism Of Il ronsumnatcly adroit poll
tiCian.
Mr. Lloyd George has "explained" the
much criticized part played by Britain in
the Near Eastern imbroglio by implying
that the h!stori" drama between prosecuted
Christianity and brutal 1slamism has been
rec enacted and that tho old Liberal policy
of protecting. even 10 the brink of war, the
oppressed minOrtics In the Near East has
been revived
In his fluent dlscours" no reference can be
found to the >nubb!ns in London last spring
Of kemaliSt cnNoys. eager to establish peace
upon almost the identical basis now reached
after war scare Of very formidable pro-
portions. No reference can be found to the
game Of commercial control in the Near
East which bears the SCantcst relationship
10 either Christianity or Moslcmism as con-
venti"nal ahstractions.
The fact is that mrk has once moro
played into the I'rcmicr~ hands and that
after an exceedingly risky course of hum
Cling ard acknowledgements in tho Eastern
policy tn" peak uf the crisis has, for the
moment at least. been passed.
Mr.. Lloyd George Would not bc himself
did Ii" not make the most effective and
spectacular use "f this good fortune. No.
body in publ" lii" in England can misstute
Il "a>" 50 ably or :" rhHrmingiy as he.
As Il political virtues" he is quite un-
rivaIcd in tho vast empire over which he
holds such vivid sway. and despite the
rumblings Of opposition II appears likely
that he will continue to perform his
astounding foHts 10 III" delight Of the ma
jority Of his counrymcn FOR some time to
come.
For the CNnsummntion Of his downfall the
cmcrgcnCc Of another political genius is

RIGHT WAY TO TALK

GENERAL DAWES, no longer in Office.
" expressed his honest opinion of Con-
gress to the New Workers who gave dinner
to congratulate him on his work as Director
Of the Budget in Washington.
He remarked that Congress Is "a nest
Of cowards' and that Cabinet officers are
Comanches in fighting budget control.
Few persons aware Of what goes on in
Washington will disagree with him. The
head Of every department is Il gutton for
money. Jio makes cXtravngant demands
and takes no account Of the needs of other
departments. And Congress has not the
courage to cut down expenditures when it
thinks that the money viii make votes for
the Congressman. In short. there IS an
almost complete lack Of sense of financial
responsibility. This is why 1t costs so
much TO run the Government and why the
oDposition 10 an extension Of Government
control Of business activities is so general.
But the situation IN Washington Is no
different from the situation in every large
CITY. The public money is spent with q
recltlessness that would ruin any private
business.
If we had more men like General Dawes
who would refuse to mncc words IN talking
about the subject there would be better
prospects Of improvement than there now

that he obStructed traffic lie was duly

the unfortunate man in question was caught
$ m"whcre on Broad street between Arch
street and Columbia avenue. for any one
who proceeds at less than twenty five miles
an hour between the new automatic signal
stations is pretty sure to be in cverybody's
way.
Doubtless fast driving on n rIgidy polccd
thoroughtare ntcndc" for high speed traffic
is safe enough. Isut the significant thing
to observe is that if the traffic policemen on
Broad street do what is expected Of them
and keep traffic moving they must actually
encourage motor drivers t" violate existing
speed ordinances. That means that tho
present ordinances rather than the police or
the new signal and traffic theories are
faulty. One Of tho first causes of motor
accidents is in laws made So infexible that
they are obviously intended ia ho broken.
1t is the moral effect Of this implication
that IS disastrous What IS needed is a

WATER PROBLEMS

CARLETON T.. DAVIS, chief Of the
~ Water Bureau, is not in The least prey
to delusion in his conception of ono Of the
n ost serious of all our municipal problems.
II IL not 10 be disputed that the pollution
Of both the Delaware and Schuylkll Rivers
Is proceeding at an alarming rate: that the
city rapidly is outgrowing It's sources of
water supply and already is far behind in
It's equipment for water distribution.
Addressing the city Club on Saturday
Mr.. Davis spoke with coinmcndabIc frank
ness upon the extraordinary situation in
the forty five miles Of city territory north
Of Frankford. without feeder or surface
mains and with no pumping station or FL
tration plant. This region is capabl" of
supporting an urban population of half a
million
The filtration plant for West Philadelphia
IL. so far as capacity is concerned. obviously
out of date. The northern section between
Wyoming street and Tioga street and from
Front west to Fifth ''vir,ually is without Il

Chief Davis is not cxaggprating WHOM hn
stresses III" imperative need for n large
scale consideration of the water problem in
relation 10 the inevitable growth uf the city
within the next fifteen or twenty years.
Plans for utilizing the waters 0t the
Ncshaminy. Tohickon and Upper Delaware
have from time to tmr hecn broach"d. hut
no action has been taken upon these i'm
portant proposals.
There can b" no question that the appro-
priation of outside waters. costly though tho
work might bc. would be a magnificent step
forward in tho right kind of municipal de-
velopmcnt. The increase of induStr rial cs.
Establishments on the SchuyItull and Lower
Delaware renders it extremely unlikely that
these sources will ever become cleaner with
the passing years
