Russia is likewise likely to be en-
barrassed by the Paris reception to
the Soviet Ambassador. for yester-
days demonstration gave evidence
that from the point of view of the
subversive radicals the Soviet govern
ment at Moscow is the ideal Of COM
munisln, Russia is seeking recogni-
tion by other nations. 1t has recently
failed, after nearing success. to obtain
that recognition from Great Britain.

Ambassador to France joyously well
coined by the worst element in that
country, a gang of revolutionists who
would turn the state upside-down and
re-establish the revolution of the eight
eenth century with reign of terror.
The French government made a
grievous mistake when it extended
recognition to the Soviet. The dem
onstration in Paris is the first proof
Of that blunder. The Russian govern
ment is now faced with the dilemma of
disavowing the French Communists
who welcomed its Ambassador with
revolutionary cries or accepting the
reception accorded to him by them,
and thereby proclaiming to the world
that it actually seeks to carry com
munism into other lands.

The Communists of Paris.

A rousing reception was given to
Leonid Krassin, the first Soviet Am
bassador to France, upon his arrival
in Paris. The demonstrators were
Communists, seizing upon this oppor-
tunity to start an agitation. The pro-
cession was formed by some 1000 en-
thusiasts, escorting Krassin's car from
the railway station to the embassy,
singing the "Internationale'' and
shouting insulting epithets to, people
who looked out of. their windows.
They repeated in even more fragrant
avoWal of extreme radicalism the
demonstration which accompanied the
transference to the Pantheon recently
of the body of Jean Jaures, the So
cialist leader, who was assassinated
in Paris at the outbreak Of the war
Afterward, speeches were made from
the Communist headquarters, a dep
uty in Parliament shouting, "The
world revolution has reached Paris
and "the French revolutionists will

as well as their Russian comradesr
1t does not follow that France is
ready for revolution because these few
extremists have so boldly proclaimed
their design. A comparatively small
number of radicals can make a very
loud noise. In such demonstrations
those participating are not repre-
sentative Of the mass of the people.
1t is not surprising that Paris has as
many as 5000 Communists. It has
always harbored groups Of such radi-
Gals, so there is no reason to fear an
overthrow of the French Republic and
the establishment Of a Communist or.
ganization after the Russian pattern.

The Board of Public Welfare.

President Coolidge's recent message
to Congress contained only one ref
erence to the District in a paragraph
of special interest to those who are
concerned about the administration of
public welfare agencies and institu-
tons in the District. He said, THE
welfare work of the District of Colum-
bia is administered by several differ
ent boards dealing with charities and
various correctional efforts. 1t would
be an improvement if this work were
consolidated and placed under the di-
rection of a single commission"
The Commission on Public Welfare
Legislation has prepared a bill to
create a board Of public welfare
which embodies the principle the
President has indorsed. 1t abolishes
three existing boards, the Board of
Children's Guardians, the Board of
Charities and the Board of Trustees
of the National Training School for
Girls, and places the work of these
boards under a Board Of Public Wei
4ClI IL IOlALC1llElllSo lIAelS lAiC
istration of all public institutions and
agencies of a welfare character shall
be centralized in one board to be ap-
pointed by the Commissioners.
The movement for centralized and
co-ordinated administration has the in
dorsement of the entire citizenship of
the District. Efficiency and economy
are the Presidents slogans for the
District, as well as the Nation. The
bill submitted by the Commission on
Public Welfare Legislation is the con-
crete application to the Districts
charitable administration of the sound
principles advocated by the President.
It is greatly to be hoped that this
measI ~e, about which there now
seems to be substantially unanimous
agreement, can be passed at this ses-
sion of Congress. Representative Kel-
Ter, chairman of the subcommittee in
the House having the bill in charge,
will render the District great serv-
ice by expediting its passage. The
measure ought to be included in the
proposed joint legislative program of
the District committees in the House
and Senate.

"Unlovely Impulse. 81
Writer'S Criticism of Ban on Pic.
ture Hanging in Homes.

To the Editor of The Star:
Whatever unlovely and misan+hron-
ic impulse could have prompted the
architect of Berlin, quoted in the
Washington Evening Star a few DAYS
ago, to declare that the hanging of
pictures in the home should be abol-
Ished in civilized countries. because
they are dust-catchers and therefore
insanitaryI
This article was read the eveninp
following its publication at the an
nual meeting, held in Chicago, of the
American Art Bureau, a national or
ganizatton devoted to fostering the
appreciation of good pictures: and
sincere regret was expressed at the
appearance of such an article. 1t was
felt that you would be glad to print
something protesting against the
point of view found there.
Indeed the love of pictures does not
depend for its survival through the
race on the pronouncements OF Herr
Taut of Berlin, who is reported to
have declared that he will save the
housewives of the world some of
their busting duties by urging them
to do away with pictures on the
walls.
Pictures on the walls are some
thing besides dust-catchers. Pictures
are magic windows into lands of
poetry, adventure or historic memory
The baroness that the lack of pic
lures leaves in room IL more desc
late than the emptiness that comes
with the removal of furniture Great
architects of@former days, recogniz-
ing this, have utilized every smallest
bit of wall Space for decorative eff
fects of one kind or another.
A picture is the expression of an
artists love Of life. 1t represents
his passion for beauty. A picture,
with its color, its quality of loveliness
and its charm of composition, is great
in proportion as its creator is fine in
imagination and skillful in presenta-
ton. And those who recognize beau
ty iove to look at such a picture, and
to come under its golden influence.
Pictorial expression of the love of
beauty is from the beginning in the
human race. Human beings will have
ceased to aspire when they no longer
love beauty nor desire to express 1t.
Pictures and the appreciation of pic
lures are the direct expressions of
this element of the race. Pictures on
the wall tighten the burden of life
rather than increase it. So let the
dustcIoth move more lovingly over
the pictures than over other articles
of furnishing in the room.

VITAL THEMES
America on the Double
Quick.
BY JOHN L. LEWIS.
President United Mine Workers
OF America.

Everybody's job now that the cleo
ton Is over Is to restore confidence
and move forward Whether we go
forward depends entirely upon the
people of the country. II GROWERS,
pessimists and grouches have, their
way, we will go backward But If
the progressive, optimistic, patriotic
citizens take hold and push and pull,
there will come such a wave of pros
pertty as America has seldom seen.
confidence must be restored and
sustained. That means confidence in
Government, In business, in industry
ana in the people themselves When
the American people make up their
minds to do a thing, they do 1t. Let
the people make up their minds to
chase away the uncertainty, anxiety
and depression that have prevailed
and the job is the same as done
The American people should at once
loosen their purse strings and begin
buying the things that they need and
that they will need in the future. I
do not mean that they should throw
money away or indulge in a paroxysm
of prodigality. What they ought to
do Is to put their idle money to some
good use. When the people spend
money the country is prosperous, but
when they hide it the country suffers.
This has recently been one of our
national ailments.
railroads. manufacturers and in
dustries generally should at once be-
gin a policy of expansion. Let them
hunt new markets and encourage old
markets. Such a policy is wholly
consistent with the fact that we are
70 nave four years of peace in poll
Tics. we need more railroad mileage
and more equipment to move the
increased traffic that Is bound to
come. We need more of the products :
of the wonderful factories of this
country. We need more houses everv-
where. We need larger crops on the
farms. We need more employment
Tor mechanic, builder, miner, farmer
and IN transportation. Constructive
eforts based upon constructive poll
cies will produce this additional en-
ployment. When labor is busy. every
one is busy.
industry in America is favored as
IN no other country, because this
country has the cheapest fuel in the
world. Nowhere else is coal sold as
cheaply as in America And the ia
c1lities for producing coal here are SO
vast that any demand, however great.
can easily be met.
Every corporation, every Industry.
every employer. every producer. every
worker in the nation should turn on
tlmist at once. roll up his sleeves and
help to restore confidence and boost
for better times.

years the District has been granted
only odds and ends of time for the con-
sideration of it's affairs in the House,
although it has had regular calendar
allotment. Repeatedly 1t has lost Its
day" through the pressure OF other
business. Occasionally this has been
due to the fact that the District COM
mittee has not ben prepared for &C.
tion, bnt usually the cause has been
the disposition of the House to take
the day away from the District to de-
vote it to other matters.
Mr.. Longworth believes that if the
District committee will bring forward
measures upon which no highly con-
troversial debate is likely the District
will have a record result of legisla-
tion for the short session. There are
numerous measures which await ac-
tion falling into this category. OF
course, debate is possible on any of
them. Differences of opinion prevail,
and in some cases differences which
have been adjusted in committee may
develop on the floor OF the House.
The Districts hope, however, is that
the District committee will carry
through the measures which it ap-
proved despite any minority commit
tee sentiment that may develop.
The surplus bill, the traffic bill, the
public welfare bill, these are some Of
the measures that should receive
early consideration. There are others.
The District calendar contains many
items, all of them important in some
degree, all of them essential to the
advanseme2t of the local welfare.
With the House leaders agreeable to
a program of legislation, the District
committee should take the fullest ad-
vantage of the opportunity afforded
by regular allotment of time
