deep green were spread over the

fragrant breezes scented his bed

Mrs. Washington was already up

Miss Washington had donned a fluffy
attire of pink, green, red, purple or
heliotrope and trounced off to church.
If there was anybody in the city
who didn't answer the call OF nature
yesterday unofficial census takers
failed to find them. All day long
unbroken lines of autos trailed over
those roads III the District limits
where the hand of man has protected
nature. The jam on the Speedway,
caused by the super attraction of the
cherry blossoms, almost set record.
There wasn't a bride path in Rock
Creek Park which wasn't filled with
mixers. The waiting line at the first
tee on all three public golf courses

toists sought this rural retreat yes

The base ball park had an attend

But perhaps the greatest attra action

The palms on many lapels put a
tone of religious coloring into the

Otherwise the day might have been

forded by our forests, mountains and
waterways. Life in the open is
great character builder. From such
life much of the American spirit of
freedom springs. Furthering the op-
portunities of all FOR such life ranks
in the general class with education.
Our aim in this country must be to
try to put the chance for out-of-door
within the grasp Of the rank and file
of our people, the poor man as we'll
as the rich man. Country recreation
for as many of our people as possible
should be our objective.
Though all are concerned in this
matter, the lead must be and should
be taken by the national government.
Our national government is already con-
cerned in many phases of ii, but in an
incoherent manner. In the adminiStra
ton of national parks. national forests.
wild life reserves and unreserved do
main, the government holds almost I'M
limited opportunities for this form of
public service. The function of the fed
eral government in the construction of
highways, in the study of the propaga-
ton and protection of game animals,
birds and fish, has a very decided bear
ing upon the recreational facilities open
to our people.
Has Diversified Control.
AT present outdoor recreation is
fostered by state. municipal and private
agencies and federal bureaus-the ma
tional park service, the forest service.
the biological survey. the bureaus of
fisheries, plants, public roads and Others
There are state parks in many of the
states, state roads. state conservation
commissions and other like agencies.
There are also many civilian organiZa-
tons that impinge on this question-for
example, the various sportsmen's aSso-
Citations, containing hundreds of thou
sands of members and spread through
every state: the campfire associations,
the Boy and Girl Scouts, the conserva
ton groups and thousands of others.
In order to handle this matter prop
erly, TO adjust the widely separated
viewpoints and interlock the interests
concerned efficiently, there should be
definite and clearly prescribed national
policy. The whole matter, being nation
wide in its scope. demands such han
ding. The object to be secured should
therefore, be to promulgate national
| policy, which should not merely co-ordi-
nate under federal guidance all activi-
ties in behalf of outdoor recreation, but
also formulate program to serve as a
guide for future action

President Selects Committee
To Foster Life in Great Outdoors
Emphasizes Great Value of Open dir Recreation and
Urgent Need of Federal Policy
OF Coordination.

Declaring that life in the open is
a great character builder and that it
was from such life that much of the
American spirit of freedom has
sprung, President Coolidge has issued
public statement calling the ma
lions attention to the great outdoors
and announcing the appointment of d
special committee on Out-of-door life
to bring about a national policy CO.
ordinating all organizations and ac-
tivities Interested in outdoor recrea-
ton as their object.
The President thinks that, due to
the great increase within the last
decade of the outdoor recreation spirit,
there is an urgent need for policy
of co-ordina ton. He also is anxious to
put the outdoor opportunities within
the grasp of the poor as well as the
wealthy.
Has Selected COMMITTEES.
The committee as selected by the
President is to consist OF Secretaries
Weeks of the War Department, Work
of the Interior Department, Wallace
of the Agriculture Department and
Hoover of the Commerce Department,
and Assistant Secretary Roosevelt of
the Navy Department. The proposal
for such a committee was put forward
originally by Mr.. Roosevelt.
The committee met at the war De-
sartmert this afternoon. 1t was ar
ranged to open correspondence at
once with all state, municipal and
Independent organizations, such as
the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the
Campfire Girls athletic clubs. etc,
with a view to general cooper ration
in plans for increased open-alr- actlVl-
ties among the people at large.
Mr.. Coolidge announced appoint
ment of the committee in Il formal
statement which said:
particularly within the last decade
the outdoor recreation spirit among
our people has increased rapidly
During this period there have been
put forward projects-federal, mu
nicipal, state and private-to expand
and conserve throughout the coun-
try our recreational opportunities. 1t
is almost idle to emphasize their
value to the country. The physical
vigor. moral strength, and clean sim
plicity of mind of the American peo-
pie can be UNNECESSARILY furthered

n ties for the life in the open, af-

Two Sets of Instructions.
According to the Daily Telegraph
the soviet delegation has two sets of
instructions, one, of formal nature.
from the Moscow government, and
the other from the communist inter-
national. The latter, the paper says,
stresses among other things that no
treaty must be concluded unless very
favorable to the soviets, but that
every effort be made to strengthen
the existing ties between Moscow and
the communist organization in Great
Britain.
1t is stated from the same source
that the communist international
warned the delegates that the Brit
ish police were not to be trusted, and
that, while asking protection against
counter revolutionarfes, the delegates
should themselves organize a guard
of their communist friends.
The policemen detailed to safeguard
the members of the delegation while
in London, according to the Daily
Mail, recently were engaged in track
ing down bolshevist propagandists
here.
