Building Boom 0verinflated.

That there is a serious shortage OF
building trades mechanics is one OF the
outstanding facts OF the present. in
dnstrial revival. and ways and means
Of remedying the situation are made
the theme of a lot of discussion, wise
and otherwise. But, to borrow an ex-
preston Of the late Grover Cleveland,
it is a very practical condition rather
than a theory which confronts US, and
the way to an immediate remedy Is
not to be found in theoretical cures.
The idea of training schools for me-
chanics is a good one and deserving
Of encouragement but training schools
are not going to be esta blished and
mechanics trained in time to meet this
years building problem.
There is only one practical way to
meet the present situation and halt
the ever-mounting cost of construc-
tion, and that is not to undertake con-
struction beyond the available supply
of mechanics and materials. No addi.
tional construction results when con-
tractors go out bidding against each
other for materials and labor. The
only result is to enhance the price
without enlarging the volume. In
fact, the tendency is to cut down vol
Ume, for when the worker knows he
can quit his job any day and go to
another at equal or better pay it has a
tendency to slow down his work. That
is merely human nature asserting it
self, and human nature in the building
trades does not differ from human ma
ture in any other calling.
That such a situation as now exists
would arise was foreseen months ago.
Last March Secretary Hoover, in a
letter to the President, proposed that
all but the most urgent of public
building, both national and state, be
deferred until private building, es-
pecially the building of dwellings. had
a chance to catch up, and, by implica-
tton at least, the appeal was general
for deferring Of private projects the
necessity of which was not urgent.
Except as it operated to defer a small
amount Of government construction,
Mr.. Hoover's warning apparently fell
upon deaf ears. Money was plentiful,
and everybody who had building to do
was eager to get it-under way. Con-
tractors, being as human as their
workmen, took on more work than
they had labor to accomplish. and
when they found themselves in jam
went out with bonuses in their ha nds
aud hired workers away from their
fellow contractors. The result was in
evitable. and today we have reached
q point where, unless the brakes are
put on and a little common sense ap-
piled, our building boom is likely to
blow up and burst as the result Of
overinflation.

More Play Spaces.

The ,opening OF twenty-nine school
yards as summer Fairgrounds early in
July will relieve good many children
from the necessity Of playing In the
streets. These school yards win sup
plement twenty.three municipal play.
grounds, and the list Of the play
spaces soon to be opened shows that
they are in all parts OF the city and
in many closely built suburban sec.
tions.
The demand for spaces where chill
dren may play in safety has not come
upon US suddenly, but 1t Is due to rela.
lively new conditions In Washington.
Not many years ago it would have
seemed strange to urge that play
spaces for children be bought and
operated at public cost. There were
large areas Of vacant land within the
city limits. Commons" were extensive.
The fields and woods Of the country
were nearby. Most of the houses in
the city were one-family homes. with
q large yard or garden or what is now
generally called a lawn" There were
vacant lots in every neighborhood
where children could play. There was
no such congestion OF population as
we now have. The streets were quiet,
and although a pedestrian or a playing
child was now and then knocked down
by horse and wagon the danger in
the streets was not comparable to the
present danger.
1t has been settled that children will
play, and that they should play IL they
are to grow into normal men and
women. The commons" have disap-
peared. the country is far away, close.
ly peopled and dotted with mo tres
pass signs, and many of the SUBJ
urban sections are as closely built as
any section of the city was a genera
ton or so ago. Traffic in most streets
Is dense, and in every street there IL
so much danger to children from auto.
mobiles that street play Is prohibited.
Accidents to children In the streets
have been numerous.
The matter Of regulated play has
also come to the front in late years.
1t has been found dangerous, under
modern conditions, to leave children to
their own devices, to form gangs and
wander about the streets and alleys.
The possibility Of making undesirable
acquaintances and forming vicious
habits is always present. 1t has been
found necessary to provide public play
places for children, and in those places
1t has been deemed desirable to keep
them under proper supervision. Pub
lie Fairgrounds meet an urgent need,
but there are so many things pressing
for adjustment that 1t has not been
possible to provide as much play space
as children need. Progress Is being
made, and the opening Of the school
yards in, summer il one OF the marks
of progress.

The Race for Air SUPREMACY.

race for supremacy in arms.
The most encouraging symptom in
the present agitation over the military
control of the air is the immediate re.
version of many minds toSwhat was
accomplished at Washington, when
the great naval nations Of the world
agreed to limit the number of capital
ships. their size, the size of their guns

France and the Naval Treaty.

The French government, after all
these months Of delay, has finally
made e move In the direction Of ratify.
ing the naval treaty effected by the
arms conference. To be sure, 1t is but
preliminary, but former Premier
BRAND and NJ. Sarraut, who were the
signatories Of the Washington treaty,
are described as feeling that "the hrst
effective step toward ratification has
been made"
If It, indeed, proves to be an Of.
fective step toward ratification there
Is cause for qualification in the action
taken, which consisted Of dspositing
with the chamber Of deputies a bill
which asks for ratification Of that part
of the Washington naval agreement
which deals with the protection Of
neutrals on the high seas and the use
of asphyxiating gas in war time.
The course Of France toward the
Washington arms conference has
from the outset been perplexing to the
other signatory nations and the cause
OF comment and speculation. France,
1t will be remembered, held back in
the traces at the very outset OF the
arms conference. and at times her at.
| titude threatened to mar the work In
| hand.
If the French government now sees
| its way clear to proceed to eventual
ratification ''all will be forgotten" az
to the past aA the powers OF the
world which are party to the treaty
will draw a breath Of relief. 1t is in.
explicable to them that further delay
should ensue, and there can be no
question that early ratification will
enhance the prestige OF France and
dissipate the fears said to exist in
some quarters that France has mill.
taristic designs.
