The Rosslyn Curve.

Representative r. Walton Moore of
the eighth Virginia congressional dis
trict advocates a plan for the
Strengthening Of the road leading from
the new bridge at Georgetown to the
military highway which gives chief ac-
cess to Fort Myer and Arlington and
to the communities of Arlington coun-
ty. This plan, announced to the Clar-
endon citizens, contemplates the elm
ination Of a dangerous curve in Ross
lyn which has been the cause Of much
trouble to users OF this road. There
should be no doubt whatever of the
execution of the project. The road
should without fail be Strengthened.
But the plan should go further. The
conditions adjacent to the roads should
be improved. When the new bridge is
finished and put into service it will be
used by great number Of people,
both in daily traffic and on special oc-
casions. Heretofore those who have
crossed the Potomac by the Aqueduct
bridge have. had to pass through q
most unsightly tangle Of shacks and
shabby buildings, piles of refuse and
disfiguring conditions in order to reach
the government reservations or the
suburban towns. The electric lines
will undoubtedly be so equipped as to
reduce traffic obstructions, to a mini
mum. The presence Of the new bridge
should stimulate the development of
the little town that serves as the
threshold Of Virginia at this point.

Failure at The Hague.

The inevitable has happened at The
Hague. The negotiations with the
Russian delegates on terms of a work
ing agreement for relations have
failed, and the soviet delegates are
Withdrawing. They aver that the al
lied governments are unreasonable in
their demand for promises in regard
to property compensation and guaran-
tees which were impossible until the
Russians knew what credit and loans
would be granted. This states the
case in the same terms as at Genoa.
The soviet government must have. the
loans first, and will give guarantees
later. The allies require the Russians
to give the guarantees first, and will
make arrangements for a loan based
upon them: -
The. bolshevik representatives went
to The Hague tosdrive a hard bargain
II theyscould. They sought recognition
and financial aid. and were willing to
offer In exchange certaiA guarantees
that might be accepted at face value.
The allies, naturally suspicious Of The
soviet, are hesitant about putting any
money into RussR without the strong
est pledges Of security. Thus the dead,
lock results and The Hague confer.
ence proves another failure. IS,
1t is plain that there viii be no
progress toward an international acf
eeptance of the Russian regime until
Moscow is in mood ard q position
te put Up 8 substantial pledge. Un-
