PLEA AGAINST FREEING
POLITICAL PRISONERS
Delegation Representing Fifteen
Million Interallied Veterans Files
Protest With the President.

Proposed release from prison or So
called political prisoners" who
"struck at our nation in the hour of
peril" was bitterly protested by a
delegation yesterday, who. in the name
of fifteen million veterans in eight
nations of the Interallied Veterans
Federation, formally presented to
President Harding at the White
House a plea that such persons be
kept behind the bars.
SThe forces of International radical
ism and anti-Americanism want these
sd called political prisoners released.
said the statement. I'VE who fought
for true democracy and real freedom
want them kept where they deserve
tor be-in prison"
President Harding was also present
ed with another statement by the
American delegation to the council OF
the Interallied Veterans Federation,
arri q copy Of a manifesto issued by
thb council. outlining q program for
the perpetuation of peace throughout
thh world. President Harding was
asked to consider the naming Of one
representative of veterans "at all the
jnteraliied and international confer
and on ornaments"
I'VE ask" said the veterans, that
at all future conferences there be a
true representative OF war-a repre-
sentative OF suffering; one who can
advise the eminent statesmen and eX-
pertS on the really vital equation of
The horrors Of war"

and r e. Condor of New York, who
represented the interallied council and

The Vital Need

The great need is shown by
simple table of the number of hos
pital beds in other cities in pro-
portion to their population. Health
authorities are agreed that the
absolute minimum standard OF
safety is 50 beds per 10000 of pop
ulation. Washington is below this
minimum standard; it has only 37.Z
beds for each 10000 people, in
stead of so, or, as in many cities,
considerably more than so. This
condition is not safe.
If the curve of sickness should
rise in Washington-if, for exam
pie, there should be all epidemic
of influenza or infantile paralysis
the hospitals would be over
whelmed.
Even under present normal con-
ditions many are finding it most
difficult to obtain hospital rooms
unless they are able to pay very
high rates. The greatest shortage
is for private rooms at rates that
people of moderate incomes can
afford to pay.

HUGHES TO ATTEND
SANTIAGO PARLEY
Secretary Accepts Invitation
to- Join Pan-American Con-
ferees in March.

Secretary OF State Hughes has ac-
cepted the invitation extended
through the Chilean ambassador here
to attend the fifth Pan-American con-
ference in Santiago next March. 1t
was announced today. The American
LSecretary's acceptance was made upon
the condition, the announcement
stated. that unforeseen public duties
dc. not arise in the meantime.
While details for the trip have not
yet been completed, 1t is known that
Secretary Hughes hopes to visit a
number of cities in South America, in
cIuding Buenos Aires. Montevideo and
Lima, en- route home. He would like
to make an extensive tour of other
South American countries, but II will
be necessary for him to strictly linn
1t his absence from Washington, be-
cause of the delicate European situa-
ton.
Secretary Hughes probably will not
days, and his desire to avoid any pro-
tracted absence from the United
States at this time will also prevent
his acting as a member of the official
delegation which is to represent the
United states at the Pan American
conference.

can delegation is still under consid-

Open to All

Garheld's service is for all--ior
YOU. 1t is non-sectarian. 1t serves
patients of large or modest means,
and the poor who can pay little y
sometimes nothing. All of Gar
fields earnings go into the service
it gives its patients; it, therefore.
has no funds for expansion, and so
appeals to you for funds needed to
give you increased service.
You may need the hospital at
any time, or your family may. But.
unless we have helped to establish
or enlarge it, what right have W.
to count upon its care? If. OH the
other hand. we have contributed
our share, then we may justly feel
entitled to the resulting benefits.
Garheld's appeal is to all, for the
good Of all.
The only meaning that this can
have to you as an individual is
that the appeal of the hospital is
directly to you.

Chairman of
Campaign Erccuti0e Committee.

Must Be Built

The General Building is vitally
necessary because it will enable
people of modest means to find pri-
vatc hospital accommodations
when they need them, instead of
having to go into public wards, as
at present. The Nurses Home is
vitality needed because it will fur
nish decent accommodations for
the nurses who serve us faithfully,
and because it will increase the
efficiency of the hospitals service
to the public.
These facts and arguments pro-
duced the working force of more
than $50 of our own people who
have dedicated themselves to the
Evening star., 1923-01-13
Garfeld's Solution

To meet this need SO far as it
is able, Garfield will construct two
new buildings-a General Building
and Nurses Home.
The General Building will con-
tain 7S private rooms, most of them
to be available at very moderate
rates. This will help correct the
present situation under which as
many as five or six people are
turned away each day at certain
periods in the year by Garfield be-
cause there are no rooms for them.
The Nurses Home will accom-
modate 100 nurses. Garheld's 90
nurses are now housed in six diff
ferent places-in the old Admins
tration Building; in an attic fitted
up as a dormitory; in two old
residences; in small rented house,
and in a ward where 20 patients
can be cared for when the nurses
move into their new home.

MAY: Join WORLD
LABOR COMMISSION
Chamber of Commerce of
U. S. Can Gain and Help by
| Step, Says J. H. Barnes.
NJ. THOMAS VIEW HEARD
Head of International Office Honor
Guest at Metropolitan
Club Dinner.
M. THOMAS VIEW HEARD

julius II. Barnes, president OF the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States, announced at dinner in the
Metropolitan Club last night that the
chamber is considering the advis-
ability of participating in the inter
national labor office set up under the
treaty of Versailles. even though the
American government is not MEM
Der of that industrial organization.
Mr.. Barnes announcement was
made in response to an address by NJ.
Albert Thomas. head of the interna-
tional labor Office and former min
iSter of munitions of France, in
whose honor the Chamber of Com
merce president entertained. Should
the chamber decide TO take that step,
he said. II would be with the object
of helping foreign industrial stand
ards up rather than attempting to
bring American standards down.
Advantages to United States.
Mr.. Thomas pointed out that, al
though the United States is not a
member of the international labor
commission, indirectly the country de-
riveS certain advantages from its work.
The time had arrived, he continued.
when the organization cannot develop its
efforts to the fullest extent without
the daily cooperation of this country
Once the country whose conditions
of labor are the best puts itself in
communion with u.s." NJ. Thomas de-
clare6, 'it will help us considerably
in leading all the countries of the
world toward better conditions. Put
ting aside the precise rules of its con-
situation. the international labor Of
flee is today center of co-operatioG
between nations. In it a spirit OF
conciliation exists and grows. Co.
operation by America cannot but en-
large the influence and authority of
the organization"
In reply, Mr. Barnes said that there
are times when national self-intereSt
and international cooperation travel
parallel channels. America. being
ing. wishes to maintain and advance
that standard.
Wages and Conditions.
But as a surplus producing country
selling in export markets of the
world" he continued, there is a
limit to the disparity in living condi-
tions and wage scales which can not
be wholly overcome even by Amerl-
can resourcefulness and American
adaptability to large-Scale produc-
ton through mechanical aids. Mani
testify also both in the interests of an
increase in human standards and also
in the self-interest of national pro-
lection of our own standards, the proc
ess of equalization in wages and
working conditions between our
selves and our industrial competitors
should be one of leveltng up their
standards rather than leveling down
our own.
att is with this idea that the
Chamber of Commerce OF the United
States is seriously considering the
advisability of participation In the
employers section OF the inter
ttonal labor Office, so that we may
understand and influence cooperative
world industrial relations"

TRIP PROVES IMPRESSIVE
Representative Brown Declares
Something Should Be Done at
Once to Bring Relief.

The deplorable condition of Wash
ington streets was vividly demon
strated to members of Congress to-
day. when George C. Shinn. chairman
OF the streets and avenues commit
tee of the Board of Trade. and mem
bers of his committee were hosts to
Representatives Frank E. Murphy,
Barton L. French and Joseph Brown
on a tour of the city.
Amazement was expressed by the
Legislators at the conditions found
In the thickly settled parts of wash
ington. They were bounced and
jolted over sections which needed no
words to convince them that drastic
steps are necessary Immediately for
the betterment of the streets.
Some Nearly Mires.
The tour began at the Washington
Hotel. and the legislators were then
driven out 10th street and across to
l4th street over croSs-streets that
were a. foot deep in mud. Several
of the cars were almost mired, and II
was with difficulty that passage
through was effected. These streets
are lined with houses newly built.
but conditions on the streets them
selves are indescribable.
These people who have bought
houses out here should at least have
passable Streets commented Rep
resentative Brown. "It certainly
seems that something should be done
as soon as possible" ~
Other sections OF the city covered
on the tour were Georgia avenue
and the Soldiers Home. 18th street
extended. where Mr.. Shinn pointed
out to the congressman the desira-
bility Of an extension through
line; the section around Eastern
High school. New York avenue
northeast and other parts of the
District that are in immediate need
of attention.
Tours 10 Continue.
These tours will continue said
Mr.. Shinn. ''as long as we can get
members Of the House and Senate
to go on them Senator Overman
was expected on this trip but on ac-
count OF bad cold he was forced
to decline"
The three representatives who par
tlcipated in the trip expressed the
hope that conditions such as shown
them would not be allowed to con-
time. They pointed out that many
members of Congress were not
cognizant of the needs of the city
along the lines of streets and high
ways. Tours arranged by the Board
of Trade committee were having ef-
feet on all of those who took the
trips, they asserted.
