now has been complete demonstra-
tion Of two great facts which will
stand for all time as guide posts for
those charged with the responsibility
for government. The first fact. dem.

ments of which they do not approve

fact, demonstrated finally yesterday,
Is that when the people do approve Of
treaties two-thirds of the Senate will
assent to them.
These are not new facts about the
American scheme Of government, but
the striking demonstration which has
been given to them since the world
war is a wholesome object lesson. not
only to those who now are and in the
future will be in authority at home.
but to statesmen and peoples through
out the world. What the peoples OF
less fortunate lands have long aspired
to. Americans unmistakably have
complete protection against the danger
that their rulers may commit them to
alliances and other forms OF foreign
entanglements of which they do not
approve.

Playground Needs.

Washington's need Of Fairgrounds
was clearly brought out at the late
meeting of the Civic Secretaries Asso-
citation. This need has been often thor
oughly explained, and Washington's S
great playground shortage is pretty
well understood. The public play
ground has been slowly and painfully
developed in Washington, and has
never reached the point where all
children could be accommodated. Citi-
zens have helped the cause by giving
the use of private land, and this has
helped a good deal. but it has been
hard work to get the public money
required to run the Fairgrounds. The
current estimate of 100000 for main
tenance of Fairgrounds was cut in
Congress to $4,000. The superintend-
ent of Fairgrounds speaks with prac-
tical good sense when she says that
public recreation in q city the size of
Washington must be provided for in
municipal spaces. and that they should
be available not only for public school
pulJilS, Jul aiSo iOA tiiS PNPii' oA IA
vate schools and for children who have
not begun their schooling and those
who have left school.
The Civic Secretaries Association
is the association of secretaries of
citizens associations. and they brought
out at their meeting that every sec
ton Of the city is short on public play
space. but that the shortage was felt
most in the northeast, southeast and
southwest sections. One of the points
brought out at the meeting, and one
that is perhaps not widely known, is
that the municipal Fairgrounds Of
Washington can afford but one full
size base ball diamond, which is at
Rosedale.
Some alleviation of the situation is
furnished by the temporary dedication
of unimproved public land adjacent to
Union station to playground uses, and
another bit of aid has been extended
by Col Sheriff., in charge of the Office
of public buildings and grounds. who
has offered to the municipa! play
ground department a plot of land in
the southeast corner of Montrose Park.

The President and Congress.

The relations between the President
and Congress are not as strained as
the democratic leaders of that body de-
scribe, and they could not we'll be as
heavenly as the republican leaders de-
scribe in reply. AS usual, the truth
lies between the two extremes.
But the greater question-certainly
the greater for the republicans to con.
sider-is the relations between the fac
tions on Capitol Hill. They are
strained, and in some cases very much
strained. The factions have been fight.
ing one another more aggressively and
industriously than they have the COM
mon enemy. Indeed. the enemy has
been laying off and enjoying the
shindies.
If the President has appeared now
and then to be in collision with Con.
gress it has grown out Of the attempts,
sometimes successful, to have him set.
tie factional disputes. The factions
have sought him, and not he the fac
tions.

change is taking place. AS campaign
time draws near the necessity for har-
mony grows instructively apparent,
and factionism is abating. The COM
mon enemy is growing cocky. He is
claiming everything. and claiming it
confidently. Mr.. Wilson is showing
the way.
Congress has at least four months
in which to pull itself together and
dispose of the important questions
awaiting attention, and which should
receive attention before adjournment
is taken. To postpone any one Of them
would be to confess failure and invite
disaster at the polls. Putting all of
them on the books by August l will
invite renewal of confidence.

America Not Iupotent,

There is nothing in the Constitution

makes this country impotent to carry
to successful conclusion negotiations
with other powers. The Senate demon

conference on the limitation Of arma.

Of the six treaties were accepted Just
as they had been negotiated by the
plenipotentiaries appointed by the
President. The sixth was accepted
with an explanatory reservation
which had the full approval of the
executive.
Americans have cause TO rejoice to-
day that the making Of treaties hae
been hsdged about by the safeguards

The Presidents Look Ahead.
"A White House news NOTE:

n w HltS f1OuSe news llOle.
president Harding has told sena
tors and representatives that he is
deeply interested in the passage of the
merchant marine bill now pending in
both houses Of Congress. 1t is the
Presidents hope that should a log jam
in legislation occur as the session OF
Congress draws along especial care
shall be taken that this bill shall not
be caught in the crush and fail to
make the passage"
This look ahead is timely, and re.
veals the experienced legislator. The
President sees that the present condi.
tion Of business on Capitol Hill threat.
ems log-jam as the end of the session
approaches, and he is solicitous on the
subject.
The measure he draws particular
attention to is one that deserves the
care he invokes. The war has demon.
strated nothing more clearly or con.
vincingly than the necessity Of an
American merchant marine operated
on lines that other nations have shown
the value of. We need such a fleet in
our ambition to become a sea-carrier
auxiliary. Without it our Navy, ex.
cellent as it is for it's size, would in
case Of another war be minus an in.
dispensable provision.
Moreover, it is something that has
been promised, and that both parties
are committed to. In sense therefore
the question rises above party.
The measure Congress will be asked
to consider has developed some diff
ferences Of opinion in both parties
The President approves it. and has
recommended it to Congress. But il
is subject to debate, Of course, and to
such changes as debate may suggest
The point is that Congress ought not

and Protestants. with justice to be ad.
ministered by special tribunal in
which both parties have confidence.
With this agreement In effect there
will have been removed whatever
shadow of justification there may have
been on either side for violence. and it
is expected that law-respecting citi-
zens on both sides will turn to and
help suppress the lawless. AS is al
kind. both factions have suffered from
reckless and hot-heated partisans and
from the evil doings of those who are
instructive lawbreakers. Reprisal has
begot reprisal, until men have been
drawn into the conflict who deplored
such course and realized no good could
come out OF it. Any one who now en-
cages in violence is a lawbreaker be-
cause he wants to be. and no longer
can he cover his crimes with the
cloak of pretended patriotism.
Because so large part of the trour
BILE has been. the undoubted result Of
perverse criminality, it is not to be
expected that the London agreement
will result in the immediate cessation
Of disorders. but with impartial justice
assured, criminals no longer will be

refusing to meet the miners of the cen

adjustment OF the wage dispute. Sec
retary Davis said: There may be
faults on both sides Of this bituminous
dispute, but the side that openly re-
pudiates its written and signed obliga-
tions has crippled its case before the
bar of public opinion"
Labor, upon more than one notable
occasion. has been condemned for do
ing what is now charged against the
Notwithstanding a contract or re-
fusinS to abide by the terms of ar
bitrament. Always, in such cases, Ia
bor has paid the penalty of ultimate
defeat for such a course. Two years
ago the operators and miners agreed
to meet prior to April l. 1922, for u
preliminary conference to arrange a
time and place for a meeting to nego-
tiate new agreement. Secretary
Davis notes that the miners officials
were ready and willing to go into the
conference. but that some of the oper-
ators refused, setting forth reasons
for the declination which evidently the
Secretary of Labor considers as not
conclusive or satisfactory.
One of the reasons for declining the
conference advanced by the operators,
according to an official of the Ameri
can Wholesale Coal Association, is to
avoid possible charge of conspiracy.
He alleges that governmental admin.
istrative agencies had compelled the
operators and miners into an agree
ment which later was denounced as
conspiracy under the Sherman act by
the law department of the government
The result was the Indictment by
federal grand jury of all the union Off
Gals and 226 operators. The opera
tors have, this official states, stayed
out of any joint conference this year

conspired.
Employers and employees are alike
concerned in living up to engagements
once agreed upon and made, and the
fact that one element has at times
failed to do SO does not justify another
side to take it as precedent for SINH
lar non-fulfillment Of duty.
The strike will apparently be in full
effect by tomorrow. The comforting
assurance is held out by government
authorities that no particular distress
will occur to the public for two
months, q reserve supply of coal being
available for that period. But the
miners will suffer loss of wages and
their families will suffer.
The dispute should be settled. be-
cause it can be. 1t will be interesting
to note the effect of the haling Of the
operators before the bar of public
opinion. The effect hoped for is to
compel the operators and the miners
to come together in conference and
compose their differences.
