Full Speed Ahead.

From Rome, quoting Premier Mus.
solini:
This Is a day of movement. Every
one must increase his gait, in office
and in factory. The government over
which / have the honor to preside is
government of speed. Where here
tofore there haye been sleepers in the
government service, today every one
must speed up to the maximum. We
are a generation of constructors who
work with discipline and intellect and
wish to bring the nation to it's great
est greatness-where there will be a
place for all workers but not for all
the parasites.
This man, comparatively young in
years, is younger still in politics. He
came to the front with a rush, all but
paralyzed the home folks, and quite
amazed the outside world, by the COM
prehensiye character OF his program.
But he got away with it. The old.
sters gave way. The youngster took
charge. and has been in charge ever
since. He does not lack nerve, and his
power of, expression is clear and
strong.
The present is a. case in point. The
young italian believes in-almost
commands-movement. The stand
patter, the reactionary. il in the pic
ture. is out of place there and should
retire, or be retired. There is room
only for the worker, who is willing to
work at the top of his bent. and to the
fullest improvement Of his opportu-
nifty.
The great value OF this note rests in
the fact that it is applicable to all
countries If the big nations, power

The National Gallery of Art.

In the course of the consideration OF
the independent offices appropriation
bill yesterday In the Senate an amend
ment was adopted authorizing the re-
gents of the Smithsonian Institution
to prepare preliminary plans for new
building adjoining the New National
Museum to house the National Gallery
of Art. This structure is to be erected
when funds from gifts or bequests'
are In the possession OF the regents.
1t was explained in the discussion
that there is no intention to ask the
United States for an appropriation for
the cost Of this construction, which it
is estimated will be about $2.50o,000.
A short time ago 1t was stated in
the course Of an address before an or
ganization holding its annual conven-
ton in this city that every year the
regents of the Smithsonian are COM
PEELED to reject gifts of art works of
great value because of the lack Of
room. If there were space the exhibi.
ton walls could be filled within a few
seasons to bring the National Gallery
in point of size and quality up to any
other art collection in this country,
and at very small cost. The National
Gallery, now inadequately housed in
the New National Museum, is by many
regarded as for its size one of the
best collections in America. American
artists aspire to have their works
hung there. 1t is in a sense the Off
cial American art collection. Its de-
velopment is merely a matter of physi-
cal accommodation.
1t is fully expected that if the
amendment which the Senate adopted
yesterday becomes a law, and the re-
gents are empowered to create a. fund
from bequests and donations for the
building of new structure to house
the gallery, the money will be soon
forthcoming, for it is known that in
dividuals and organizations concerned
in the proper development of its col
lection are ready to give the necessary
means. The amendment is simply an
authorization to use space on the Mall,
and inasmuch as the New Museum
building has been located there it is
proper that it's annexes should be in
close relationship. There should be no
doubt of the retention of this para
graph in the appropriation bill in con-
ference.
With a National Gallery building
erected east of the Museum that Sec
ton of the Mall WILL indeed, be an
American art center, for at the di-
agonally opposite corner stands the
F'rear Gallery, which will soon be
opened, with wealth of art treasures.

perfect exhibitions in the world. With

Washington is now a notable art cen
ter, and with this proposed new build
ing it's position as such will be fully
established.

In the form Of slogans, short, pithy
sayings emphasizing the need Of care
yAnd watchfulness. They will be
changed occasionally so that they will
not lose their effectiveness through
familiarity. +,
This is a good plan. 1t will teach
the lesson Of care to many people. 1t
will probably save some lives. OF
course, it will not make the streets
any lighter at night, and so insure Sc.
curity for people afoot as against mo.
tors after dark. 1t will not protect
pedestrians from speeders or corner
cutters, or crossing rushers, but 1t will
help, and the hospital and morgue rec
Drds will probably show the difference.
