cars in the "fairway" OF the street.
Generally a member Of the family or
a guest Is left at the wheel, in order
that If a policeman should show up
the car can be moved on. This trou.
BILE goes back to the lack OF parking
space at the curb, and much Of that
trouble is due to the all-day parker or
the man who disregards the one-hour
rule.
If the parking time limit could be
enforced there would perhaps be
enough curb space to accommodate
the shops and Offices along the way.
If there is not room under the hour
rule it will be necessary to reduce the
time during which cars may stand at
the curb and to enforce the regulation
rigidly. 1t might be necessary to pro-
hibit cars standing longer than neces-
sary to let on or off passengers, but
such a regulation would be hardship
on men and women who "chauff' their
own cars.
More police mean more taxes and
more arrests, with accompanying irri-
tation. Yet II motorists cannot work
out some honor system for obeying
necessary regulations there seems no
other way than that the Commission.
ers shall work for larger police force
and drive recalcitrant automobilists
into submission by arrest and punish
ment. Citizens must be able to do
business with shops and Offices on the
streets and traffic must move freely.

Democratic Conferences.

Important developments may be ex-
pected to result from pow-wows among
New York Democrats this week. John
w. Davis, presidential candidate,
shortens his stay in Maine by one day
and returns Thursday to New York
to meet Gov. Alfred E. Smith, who is
in the big city for a weeks vacation.
Mayor Hylan, returning from his visit
with William r. Hearst, will be in
town, but will not confer with Gov.
Smith. He will take up with his own
followers the question of a possible
rival candidacy for the governorship
nomination.
Mr.. Davis is reported to be intent
upon inducing Gov. Smith to run
again for the governorship. The lat.
ter has not made up his mind on his
candidacy, declaring that his first con-
Germ is to advance the fortunes Of the
presidential candidate, and in that un.
dertaking he will go the limit" An.
other determination is to frustrate the
candidacy OF. Mayor Hylan, whether
he himself runs or not.
There Is another matter that Mr..
Davis is to discuss with the governor.
the suppression Of an anti-Klan plank
from the Democratic State platform.
The two may clash over this subject,
as the governor is reported to be very
insistent upon including a vigorous
denunciation Of the Klan by name.

Parking Rules.

Automobile parking in the down.
town district continues matter Of
discussion, and the police and automo.
bilists who have business in the con-
gested area, but can find no place to
leave cars, are discussing it with
vigor. The Commissioners have made
regulations limiting parking time in
the district of greatest business and
traffic. It is notorious that violators
of the regulations are numerous, but
the District authorities say that with
out more policemen they cannot keep
check on the parked cars and bring
violators to book. Arrests are made,
but the number of men arrested is
small compared with the number Of
violators, and many men are willing
to take the chance Of having to pay
fines for overstaying their time at the
curb.
Complaint Is made of double park.
ing" Much Of the congestion in the
streets Is due to this. Many men and
women who have urgent business

The Demand ON Persia,

In effect, the United States has told
the Persian government that unless
reparation is promptly made for the
death of Vice Consul Imbrie at
Teheran this country will suspend re-
lations. A note to this effect, couched
in terms which leave no question of
specific meaning, has been handed to
the government at Teheran. Already
the Persian government has stated on
it's own initiative that redress for Mrs.
Imbrie will be made. The United
States now says that this redress
should extend to the expense incurred
in sending an American warship to a
Persian port to receive Vice Consul
Imbrie's body, escorted to the ship by
a Persian military guard Of honor and
given appropriate honors upon leav-
ing Persian territory.
The Imbrie case may be quickly
settled by full compliance by Persia
with the terms Of the American de.
mands. 1t may. on the other hand,
extend in it's effect for evil to pre-
cipitate attacks upon other Americans,
notably missionaries and teachers,
112 of whom are now in that coun-
try. Heretofore there has been no
feeling against the Americans; but
suddenly a manifestation of antipathy
has appeared, manifested first in the
killing of Maj. Imbrie and the wound
ing of his companion. and later in
the wanton assault upon Mrs. 1mbrie.
In both cases there was evidence Of
police supineness, if not cooperation.
This is not to charge the Persian gov
ernment with fomenting or permit
ting these hostile actions. On the con-
trary, that government has given
every evidence of sincere distress for
the occurrences.
The hint Is not lacking that back
of these happenings is sinister in
f1uence seeking to breed trouble be-
tween Persia and the United States
in order to thwart the grant of GER
tain valuable concessions to an Amer
lean corporation. Persia is in the way
Of large industrial development, and
grants and concessions there have
been eagerly sought by foreign in
terests, notably in the oil fields. An
American company is favored by the
government at Teheran. There is no
lack of historical precedent for this
secret breeding of trouble through
fanaticism, hired or inspired by rivals.
The Imbrie case and it's attendant
complications may, after all, be but a
feature of this struggle for advantage.

Use of U. S. Payment
Colombia Spends Money On
Internal Development.
70 the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
In the Evening Star Tuesday July
is, 1924, column Answers to Ques-
tions" Frederic J. Haskin, find the
following question: What has Colom-
bia done with the money the United
States has paid her for the Panama
Canal?
Considering it Of interest to your
readers 1 beg to transcribe the fol-
lowing statement just given out by
the Equitable Trust Company of New
York. regarding Colombia:
COLOMBIA has moved forward ra-
pidly during the past Is years and is
now on the eve Of it's greatest devel-
opment. The Panama Canal treaty
signed with the United States recent
ly provided for the payment Of $685.
100000 to Colombia in five yearly in
stallments of $5,0O0,000 each. the first
two of which have already been paid.
Five million dollars of these moneys
mas been used by the Colombian gov
ernment in connection with the pur-
chase of its interest in the new ma
tional bank referred to below and
the remaining $20,000,000 has been
destined for the construction of rail-
| roads and other public works that
| Will open up the country. The Stand
ara OH Company interests and other
amounts of money in developing the
enormous oil resources Of Colombia.
The United Fruit Company has made
very heavy investments in its banana
plantations there. The platinum de-
| posits of Colombia, which are gradu-
ally being developed by foreign capi-
tai, are estimated to be the second
| largest in the world, the first being
those of Russia.
Last year Colombia enlisted the
aid OF our State Department in pro-
curing the services Of an American
financial commission to assist her
in the reorganization of her financial
policies and outlining plans for her
future. Among the many important
financial reforms accomplished by the
commission, which was headed by
Prof. E. w. Kemmerer of Princeton
University, was the formation of the
| new bank of the republic, whose gen.
| eral organization, note-issuing pow
ers and rediscount functions were
largely patterned after our own Fed
eral Reserve Bank.
In 1913 the United States bought
| So per cent of Colombia's exports and
| sold 27 per cent of her imports. In
| 1922, we took about 20 per cent of
the exports and supplied about ~ per
cent of the imports. The United
States is now Colombia's best Gus
toner, for the year 1922 our share
| was about 5Sk per cent of her total
foreign trade against 40 per cent
in 1913. Sentiment in Colombia is
friendly to the United States and our
capital is welcomed there. The proxi-
nifty of Colombia to our shores, and
the activities there OF our great cor
porations and merchants, together
with the interest being shown in that
country by our investors, all point to
q closer union Of the peoples Of
Colombia and the United States"
It may be of interest to add also
that the bonds Of the loan issued by

drowned. The Gratitude struck q
sunken barge and, according to the
dispatch, scenes Of the widest con-
fusion were enacted on board the
stricken vessel when her passengers
realized she was about to go down.
Many persons, including women and
children, jumped overheard, fearing
they would be sucked under when the
vessel settled in the water"
In the case Of the burning Of the
Three Rivers steamboats, not far away
in the Chesapeake, on seeing the
smoke, went to the aid Of the pas
sengers. In the case Of the Gratitude
the accident happened in a harbor,
and many rescuers were near and
prompt in getting to work. Good luck
served in both cases.
Though there was nothing in the
published accounts as to the history
Of the Gratitude, she is probably the
small steamer by that name which
ran between Washington and numer-
Gus Potomac landings few years ago.
So far as published no criticism has
been made Of officers and crew Of the
Three Rivers or the Gratitude, and
there are indications that the men did
their whole duty. There is no doubt
as to the courage of our river and bay
sailors.
DR.. William Tindall. in a recent
letter to The Star on the subject of
the discovery Of the ram Of the Con-
federate ironclad Virginia, wrote:
While on the subject Of boats I am
reminded Of another item in The Star
on the subject Of the delay In putting
lifeboats overheard in cases OF accident
to the vessels to which they belong.
Several years ago 1 was on one of the
Potomac steamers when a storm oc-
CURED near Alexandria and sunk a two
masted "bugeye" in the channel just
ahead of us. 1t took at least half an
hour for the officers and crew of our
steamboat to get it's lifeboat overheard
and to find one of the steamboat crew
competent to take it over to the rescue
Of two Of the bugeye's crew clinging to
a topmast that barely protruded above
the water.
The thought Is that steamboat crews
should have regular and frequent fire
and collision drills. and that they
should put the small boats overheard
and man the oars SO often that they
can do it in the shortest time. We
have had few steamboat disasters on
the Potomac River, the greatest hav-
ing been the burning Of the Wawasset
near Chattertons Wharf August 8,
1873, but every precaution should be
taken.

There's no buster corner in the whole
British empire than the American con-
sulate general in London this month.
The enforcement Of our new immigra-
tion law is the cause. 1t permits under
the quota a total of 34,007 Britishers to
enter the United States annually. Con-

Labor may be in power in Downing

the hearts Of the British public. The
popularity Of the royal family Is

Member of the Associated Press.
Governor and Candidate.

When Charles w. Bryan was chosen
as John W. Davis running mate on
the national ticket the Democratic
for service-not roughly, having no
need to conscript the candidate-a
State executive who with several
months still to serve in office might be
expected to have official duties to per
form, conflicting perhaps with his
character as an associate party stand
ard bearer.
Unless the party which named him
is to take the same attitude, and go
before the country with the same gen.
eral proposition, the action of Gov.
Bryan in denouncing Defense day"
as war-making, militant, dangerous
move-those are not his precise words,
but that is their ignificance-may
prove very seriously embarrassing. 1t
is impossible to differentiate between
the governor and the candidate. He
speaks on the subject of Defense day
as governor, to be sure, but he is still
the nominee of his party for Vice
President, a potential President in
case of Democratic victory in Novem-
Der.
This matter of the Nebraska execu-
tive's action regarding Defense day is
not in itself important as affects the
national popular response to the sum-
mons to assemble the defensive forces
Of tho J-pita6 StatoS bo 1o+h
September. 1t is perfectly we'll under
stood that there will be a certain per
centage of unresponsiveness and even
OF hostility TO the plan. That will
come from the more or less organized
pacitists, believers in defenselessness
1t needs no Bryan in Nebraska or
elsewhere to keep them out of a DEM
onstration of the countrys potentiali-
ties for defense in case of attack.
OF serious Importance, however, es-
pecially to the party that has Just
placed him in nomination for the Sec
ond highest office, is this gesture by
the Nebraska executive. He in a
measure commits his party to the
pacifist formula. Inevitably he be.
comes the mark of those who hold
with the President that the best
means of preventing war is readiness
to wage it in defense, and there can
be no discrimination now between him
in his present official capacity and in
his candidatorial role
If Gov. Bryan's statement on this
subject was not the result of a con-
ference with the national party lead
ers, especially with the candidate-in-
chief, it is a case of very bad team
work. If, on the other hand, it was
emitted after consultation it assumes
a direct Importance in the campaign
The Republican campaign leaders may
be expected to pursue the question
and to ascertain whether Mr. Bryan
spoke as governor alone or as candi-
date, and if the latter whether he had
the sanction of those higher up'
and was in effect voicing his party's
views on the subject of national de-
tense. But whether he spoke as gov
ernor or as candidate the fact remains
that he as the potential President of
the United States is unfavorable to
national self-protection. And that fact
is certain to make trouble for his
party associates in this campaign.

LONDON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

London revisited after q postwar
lapse of nearly fve-years seems the
same old sixpence. 1t would be more
financially accurate to say 1t has be-
come a shilling, for the proportionate
difference Of 100 per cent just about
represents the discrepancy between
the cost Of things In the old days,
even wartime, and the sky-high price
Of them today. Your taxi started at
sixpence five or six years ago. 1t
begins at shilling now. and mounts
with corresponding rapidity with
every mile or fraction thereof.
Clothes, rents, servants, food. amuse-
ments-everything-are vastly dearer
than ever. Natives long since have
been accustomed to these economic
kept safe. To the stranger, familiar
with other times. London prices are
staggering.
In most other respects London
and the English are unchanged.
Barring important architectural i'm
provements In the West End, like
the reconstruction of the Quadrant
in Regent street, the physical aspect
OF the metropolis has all its Olds
World charm. The people look and
act the same, and, despite the sage
representations that from the cruel
BILE OF war a new London" would
emerge, are the same. Traffic, II any
thing, seems more congested than
ever, but the same old efficient Bob
bfes" are efficiently regulating 1t, i'm

the worst. Policewomen in full uni
form are new. There are only "a
of them in the whole metropolitan
work among women and children and
whistles are their only weapons.

London has never known such an
American season. The omnipresence
of our people recalls an observation
of the late Charles Frohman on reach
ing New York from England. He
said that New York alwayqs remind
ed him Of London because he saw SO
many Americans there. Between the
Advertisers convention, the Bar As
ton of the Empire Exhibition at
Wembley, and the ordinary annual
avalanche Of Yankee tourists, the
London atmosphere is so thick with
the Main street twang that it almost
browns out the Cockney. The Stars
and Stripes futter everywhere-usu-
ally from the roof or windows of a
shop that would cajole US out of our
dollars or of hotel crammed with
American guests paying special Amer
lean prices for bed and board.
Frank B. Kellogg of Minnesota has
made good as American Ambassador
to the Court of St James That appears
to be a universal impression among both
Britons and Americans. Mrs. Kellogg
has quite especially impressed herself
upon a community more experienced
than any other in the world in its ability
to adjudge great hostess The kel-
loggs' Fourth Of July reception at Crewe
House was attended by more than 5000
t-patriot-taxpayers, and the Am
baSSador and his consort have not yet
recovered from the handshaking orgy.
Mr.. Kellogg lacks the oratorcal charms
of Page, Davis and Harvey, his immedi-
ate predecessors, but he has a lawyer
like drectness Of utterance that prompt
ly gave him vogue as a public speaker.
Like American ambassadors since time
immemorial. Mr.. Kellogg is in incessant
demand, and continually has far more
