Mr.. NcAdoo Here.

The presence In Washington on a
| weeks visit of William G.. McAdoo
will naturally revive interest in poten-
tial candidates for the democratic
presidential nomination. 1t Is intimated
in political circles that Mr.. McAdoo
may have an important statement to
make before he leaves town. Specula-
tion naturally suggests that it may
be the formal announcement Of his
candidacy for the nomination.
That would be merely q matter of
form, however, since for many months
Mr.. McAdoo has been regarded in
democratic quarters as already an as
pirant for the nomination Of his party,
and the politicians cannot vision him
pushing the crown away from him.
Many Of the higher-ups in the party
leadership are said to regard him as
possessing at this time more tangible
political assets than probably any
other democrat who Is mentioned in
connection with the nomination.
|. Only one declared candidate Is in
the field, Senator Underwood. and his
first appearance brought forth the
opposition Of William j. Bryan, to
which, It is reported in press dis
patches. has been added the disfavor
Of the Ku Klux Khan, which Is taking
active interest in politics in many
states.
Gov. Alfred e. Smith Of New York
has been placed In nomination by his
friends, though he has said nothing
on the subject. Senator Ralston OF
Indiana is supposed to be the alterna-
tive favorite Of Indiana and Tammany
Hall after Boss Murphy casts few
complimentary votes for Gov. Smith.
Whom Mr.. Bryan favors is not
known to the rank and file. although
the impression prevails that he Is not
opposed to Mr.. McAdoo. He may indi-
cate his choice when the candidates
run up against that fateful rule Of the
two-thirds majority necessary to NOM
mate.

Milk and It's Price.

1t has been said before that there is
q great deal about the milk business
which milk consumers do not know,
and the same may be said about coal.
bread, shoes, hats and other things.
When the milk dealers Of the District
!, and milk producers Of Maryland and
Virginia were at daggers drawn over
sociation, 1t was given out that no
raise In the price Of milk was con-
templated. A few days later this
trifiing matter was thought Of and the
ment was made OF, the decision to lift
the price no reason for the advance
, was given out for publication. Sew.
eral days later it was said that the
advance was made necessary by the
increase In the price Of hay and con
centrated feeds" and in wages Of farm
and dairy employees. It was said that
at the higher price no more was being
paid for milk in Washington than in
Baltimore and Richmond, where the
tuberculin test is not required.
Now comes news that the price of
! milk has been reduced cent quart
/, in Baltimore. 1t seems that milk dis
tributors and producers III disagree
ment there called in an arbitrator who
decided In favor Of reducing the price
of milk, saying, IL am convinced that
favorable weather conditions have
helped develop milk production in the
! Baltimore territory to the point that
an ample supply is assured" He says
/. nothing about the increase In price OF
concentrated feeds" hay and dairy
wages. 1t seems that baltimore is In
a better milk climate than Washing
ton and that the concentrated feed
dealers and hay dealers bear harder
ON the milk farmers in the Washing
ton neighborhood than On those who
ship milk to Baltimore.
1t may be true that the cost Of milk,
though higher than last winter. is not
out OF line with the cost Of other food.
Washington Is fortunate in its milk
supply. 1t is abundant. For cleanli-
ness and richness no other city pre-
| scribes higher standards and there is
probably no other city where health

Suburbs and the City Plan.

1t is recommended by the commit.
tee on municipal art Of the Board of
Trade that a commission Of repre-
sentatives Of the, District, Maryland
and Virginia be created to further the
development of extra-District suburbs
IN agreement with the general plan Of
Washington. The committee in a pre-.
vious report said: "As we are well
aware this city has already reached
another stage Of development, build
ing communities have reached the
boundary lines Of the District, and
across the border towns have sprung
up which are essentially part Of the
city of Washington. The towns Just
outside our border are those to which
attention is invited. They are destined
to become in point Of effect, if not law
fully, part of Washington. 1t is
therefore important that they should
be developed so as to become an in
tegral part OF the city system, or 1t is
important that they should bear a
proper relation to each other as Well
as to the city as a whole"
This thought has long been held by
many persons in the District and the
suburbs. It is not clear +hst all could
be accomplished that ought to be, and
beginning in this matter might bet.

years ago, but 1t is believed that some

Il few large estates held as country

not been subdivided. Some Of these
subdivisions conform to the plan OF
an adjacent village. but most Of them
have been subdivided with no other

Illinois seems to have discovered that
there Is Latin America worth while
for Uncle Sam to court. Representative
Fred A. Britten and Senator Medill Nc
Cor7nick express their Views stimuli
taneously that while the administration
is seriously concerned over European
affairs there Is too little attention paid
to our western hemisphere, wherein lies
our true future profitable development
Mr.. Britten Is Interested in reciprocal
exchange of students between this
country and all the principal countries
OF Central and South America, for the
purpose of educating future generations
into mutual friendly sympathy. sena-
tor Mccormick and also Secretary Of
Commerce Herbert Hoover are more
concerned In developing trade relations
through encouragement of American
investment Of capital and American
colonization in South and Central
America hoping thereby TO create mar
manufactures.
The two phases Of the proposed de-
velopment have the same end-to effect
closer ties between North. Central and
South America, in what might be
termed hemisphere consciousness which
will tend to segregate this half Of the
world. socially, industrially and COM
mercially, Independent of old world wars
and turmoils. In order to comprehend
the possibilities II Is necessary to

France and the New Proposal.

Some confusion appears to prevail
with regard to the relation between
The French official expressions relative
TO a new reparations inquiry by an
International body of experts, and the
earlier expressions from Paris private
~ conveyed to the State Department
On this subject. 1t is being urged now
that Premier Poincare's speech at
Nevers on Thursday interposes con-
ditions that We're not Set forth in the
first French response TO the "feeler"
of this government on the subject.
It will be recalled that Immediately
upon the publication of Secretary
Hughes letter to Lord Curzon, stating
the Willingness of this government to
participate in al economic inquiry
into the reparations matter, which
was accompanied by the text of Lord
Curzon's letter to Mr.. Hughes, q news
dispatch came from Paris stating that
France had already expressed ap-
proval Of the plan. 1t was stated, how.
ever, that the experts must be named
by the reparations commission, and
that the inquiry must be regarded as
part of the commissions work.
1t would be greatly in the interest
CT clearer understanding II the text
of the first note, dispatch or ''intiIna-
ton" from Paris We're made public. It
would then be seen just what const,-
tutes the advance, if any has been
made, in conditions imposed by France
upon the scope and function OF the
expert commission.
Indications appear that this govern
ment does not regard the prospect Of
an effective settlement yielding in
quiry into the reparatlons question as
bright, in view Of the attitude Of
France, expressed in the Nevers
speech Of the premier, which insists
upon restricting the inquiry into Ger
lnany's present" ability to pay with
out regard to the future. There is
something 4 bit dubious about this
limitation as thus expressed. France
is, of course, interested and concerned
in Germany's present ability to pay,
for she depends upon present pay
ments for financing her reconstruction
work. But she is also concerned In
the future ability to pay, for the pay
ments will necessarily continue for a
long period, and it is greatly to the
interest of France to take into &C.
count the prospect Of a reviving Ger
man economic health and a future re-
sourcefulness for debt-paying pur-
poses.
There would seem to be no in
superabie difficulty in the way Of an
international expert commission func-
tioning helpfully. Certainly the pres
ent procedure is not tending to stabil-
iZe conditions in Europe. However
powerful the reparations commission
may be in theory, 1t is not getting re-
suits. 1t is certainly possible to add to
information regarding Germany's abil-
ity to pay in q manner to leave that
country with no conceivable excuse
or justification for failure to carry
out the requirements Of the treaty Of
peace, especially If the international

tions commission, or as part of it, pro-
