In American life Some are obviously
from lifelong students OF history and
international law. Some are from per
sons who have studied little. but WHO
have themselves seen and felt the
horror Of war--0r who are even now
living out its tragedy.
But among them all are these dom
inant currents: that, if war is hon
sstly to be prevented. there must be
a fsee-about on the part OF the nations
in their attitude toward 1t; that ny
some progressive agreement the man
ufacture and purchase OF the NUM-
lions OF war must be limited or stop

ism alone will insure cooperation
among tho nations. there must be
some machinery Of cooperation II the
will to cooperate is to be made effse-
tive: that mutual counsel among the
nations lie the real hope for bringing
about the disavowsl OF war BY the
open ayowal OF Its real causes and
open discussion OF them: and fnRlly
that there must be some means OF

House that President Coolidge was in
hearty support of plans to give tax
bonus. At the same time the White
House spokesman, in discussing. the
tax situation. said the President con-
sidered that the surtax schedule car
ried in the Garner democratic substi-
tute for the Mellon bill would tend
to discourage the investment of CAPT
tai in business enterprises rather
than in tax-exempt securities.
VIII Draft Resolution.
Another meeting of members of the
soldier group will be held before to-
morrow nights meeting. when it will
be decided what sort of resolution
will be presented. Leaders in the
movement last night declared they
would either call on the ways and
means committee to report bonus
bill by January 21 or recommend It's
passage as soon as 1t completes con-
sideration of the administrative fea-
lures Of the Mellon tax bill.
If resolution offered by the war
veterans is rejected by the confer
ence bonus proponents plan to bring
their fight to the floor of the House.
Such a step, they contend, would be
possible, as new House rules, which
are expected to be adopted next week,
undoubtedly will make provision, they
predict, for the discharge of COM
mitteeS.

Senator Royal s. Copeland of New

not understand how Congress could

franchise to SO large a group of
American people as the citizens of
Washington.

clared, Sis beyond my understand

every American to express his opin-

ton is denied this privilege-you do
not live in the United States, in other

Senator Copeland painted a word
picture of what he would like to see
the National Capital become-the
model city not only of America, but
of the world. The most potent I'M
plement, however, with which wash
ington can build itself into such a
