Park Extension.

When the American Civic ASSOCia
tion meets tomorrow it will discuss
the need of enlarging the park facili-
ties of Washington. The association
binding togther men prominent in
park promotion will take up a ques.
tion of Importance to Washington as
the home city of half million people
and as the Capital City of more than
100, 100000 people. Meeting with the
American Civic Association will be
the American Institute of Park Execu-
tives and the American Park Society
The needs of Washington in park
extension are we'll understood and
have been under discussion for many
years. Plans have been made that
will bear any test as to their de-
STABILITY and feasibility. and these
plans will be explained to the joint
meeting of the civic association and
park associations by officials of the
District government and representa-.
tives of civic societies. Plans for park
betterment of the Capital have been
incorporated in the general plan of
the Capital Park Commission which
Congress created at its late session,
and in the creation of which the
American Civic Association was large
ly. if not mainly, influential.
When Washington was planned as
the Federal City its designers made
competent provision for parks. and

reserved space unparalleled by any
other city OF that time. The founders
looked far to the future. and believed
that a majestic city would grow to
utilize the park area. To many per-
sons the park plan seemed extrava-
CANT. Many thought that Washington
could not grow to such size as pro-
vided for by the first survey, and
many persons thought that there was
something wrong in the idea of hav-
the business of government to provide
parks for people. Some men might
have grounds or private parks, and
other people could go into the country
or do without parks.
Washington outgrew the boundaries
set by the surveyors of 1891. 1t was
clearly seen as early as the Civil War
that the city would grow beyond the
north and east boundaries, and that
old Georgetown would be d small part
of the Capital that would grow west
of Rock Creek. The new city rapidly
overcame the old country that lay
close to Washington, and it was i'm
possible to secure park extension COM
parable to the city's growth and ap-
propriate to the first plan Of the city
and the revised idea of the relation be-
tween cities and parks. Many Ameri-
can cities embraced the modern idea
of parks, and by spending vast sums
and taking the future by the forelock
gave to themselves about as large pro-
portion of park space as Washington
was given by it's designers.
Because of conditions that are un-
derstood by all, Washington as a
whole now has "a shortage of park
space or public recreational space.
The plan is to take over certain tracts
within the city, but which have not
been built over. and to take over ex.
tensive tracts beyond the city.

American, as to give that govern
| ment practical power of control for
| national purposes"
This warning put an end, for the
time, to the japanese Magdalena Bay
project, and no other attempt to in
| troduce Japanese into Mexico has
since been made.
In the debate upon the resolution
Senator Lodge, as chairman of the
! committee on foreign relations, ex-
| planned that the Monroe Doctrine was
| not broad enough to cover ASiatiC
colonization in this hemisphere as it
| related only to European countries.
Therefore it was necessary, he
| argued. that a special expression of
| American policy be recorded to meet
| the danger.
When the Monroe Doctrine was
| promulgated, he said. it expressly
stated that no interference with ex-
listing European possessions in this
| hemisphere was contemplated. but
| that further extension of such was
| forbidden; also it pledged non-inter-
| ference on our part with affairs in
| Europe. He cited that, in spite of
the Monroe Doctrine pledge that we
| would keep out of European affairs,
we had participated in several in
| stances-in the Berlin conference es-
| tablishing the Congo Free State, in
I the Algeciras conference settling the
affairs of Morocco and in our protest
| against Rumania's massacre of the
Jews. Hence our virtual abandon
ment of that part of the Monroe
| Doctrine necessitated a restatement
of our position regarding the fur
| ther colonization of the Western
| Hemisphere by the outside world
non American.
That Lodge resolution concerning &
Magdalena Bay and similar invasions
by governments mot American re-
mains the American policy today, as
clearly as does the Monroe Doctrine,
| for it has never been modified But
while for, IL years it has remained
| unchanged, it has also been unchal-
| lenged.
| The Monroe Doctrine has never
been recognized as internatio law
but it has been backed by the un-
conquered power of the United States
in several crucial tests. 1t has been
suggested that the Lodge doctrine
may be loaded with TINT, as well a
patriotic defiance to the world, and
that when put to a test the State
Department may face delicate and
| serious problems.
If. now, Mexico proposes to set
aside important tracts for Japanese
colonization. will the Lodge doctrine
interfere? Would Japan then appeal
to the League of Nations, and would
that tribunal, according to it's last
weeks protocol, adjudge the United
States the "aggressor" to be boycott
ted by all member nations of the
league?

Peck in the Pinch"

Two games have now been played
IN the world series, and the fact is
established that never were more
closely matched teams engaged in a
championship contest than the Ma.
tonals and the Giants. The Giants
won the first game by an eyelash in
twelve innings, after the Nationals
had tied it up in the ninth by a gal
liant rally. Yesterday the Nationals won
by another ninth-inning rally, after
the Giants had made their own final
bid. which brought the score to tie
Such seesawing in two consecutive
games. with plain evidence of an even
balancing of the merits of individuals
and of similarly smooth team play
gives promise of series which will
be exciting until the last man is put
out in the last game
1t has been frequently remarked. in
ante-series comments on the two
teams, that the Nationals were prob
ably lacking in the punch to give
notoricusly hard-hitting team. That
would seem to have been true in the
game Saturday. when the visitors got
two runs by virtue of long hits into
the extra seats and a couple more in
the twelfth by reason of hits com
bined with fielding error. Yesterday
the situation was reversed. Into the
extra stands dropped two Washington
hits. and in the final inning. with the
score tie, run was pushed over
by the simplest of combinations in
base ball-a walk sacrifice and
a hit

tinue until the last game is PLAYED
but to date it would seem that Roger
Peckinpaugh. veteran of many a ba sc
ball campaign, is the outstanding fig.
ure, in at least the offensive role II
was he who saved the game, for the
time being, in the ninth inning Sat.
urday with d timely double. 1t was
he who drove in the Winning run in
the ninth yesterday with a clean
drive. Peck in the pinch" is now
the cry. He is not hard hitter,
has never been classed among the
mighty bat wielders. But he is al.
ways a dangerous man in close po-
sition. Perhaps the enemy pitchers
will now respect him and pay him
the highest compliment that a hurler
can bestow, by walking" him delib-
erately when he is in d position to
push runs over the plate.
Thrills have been replete in these
two games. If the remaining con-
tests-and there is no reason now to
expect less than five more-are as
close and exciting as these that have
just been played, this series will stand
in base ball history as the most in
teresting of all the interleague en-
gagements. 1t is futile to predict the
outcome. When two such closely
matched teams are in session the part
of wisdom is to reserve Judgment.
And, therefore, the higher honor to
whichever team finally takes the
championship flag.

The Fourteenth Amendment.

A suit is to be, or has been, filed in
the Federal Court at New Orleans to
prevent Walter l.. Cohen, negro col
lector of the port, from exercising
the duties Of that office, on the ground
that he is not a citizen of the United
tates, though native born. The con-
tention is that he is barred on account
of his color and descent from ances-
tors who were slaves. The fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution, adopt.
ed after the close of the Civil War,
distinctly declares that "all persons
born or naturaliZed in the United
States and subject to the jurisdiction
thereof are citizens of the United
States and of the State wherein they
reside" This amendment is the only
fundamental definition of citizenship,
and it is claimed, in the suit at New
Orleans, that it is invalid because it
was not adequately ratified by the
States after its adoption by Congress.
This point has been frequently ad-
vanced against the entire group of
post-bellum amendments, but the Su-
preme Court OF the United States has
never granted it's validity. The four
teenth amendment was adopted by
Congress June 16, 1866. July 81, 1868,
Congress adopted and transmitted to
the Secretary of State a concurrent
resolution declaring that the Legisla-
lures of three-fourths and more of the
States of the Union had ratified the
fourteenth article of amendment to
the Constitution of the United States,
duly proposed by two-thirds of each
house of the Thirty-ninth Congress. -

The news from Mexico that treaty
of amity and commerce between that
country and Japan has been signed,
and that it includes an invitation
from Mexico for extensive japanese
immigration-estim to aggregate
500 900 within a few years-comes
with special interest upon the heels OF
Japan's demand, through the League
of Nations, that all countries shall let

ton or take the grave consequences

At the Mexican Embassy, assurance
is given that conditions in Mexico are
such that Japanese would find little
incentive to enter as laborers, tor

age European colonization OF large

From a dream to an experiment
and from successful operation to need
for nlargement-that is the history
of the Panama Canal over a few
short years. The recent observance
of the tenth anniversary of the OPEN
ing of the canal to traffic has evoked
much comment from the press. which
finds the canal has more than full
filled expectations.
Ten years ago, recalls the Jackson,
Mich, Patriot, the steamship Ancon
in all the glory of fresh paint and
flying ensignS, signalized the opening
of the Panama Canal, and pessimists
then predicted that at best the canal
would be only a scenic. route" but,
now the tonnage passing through
the canal is greater than that of the
Suez. 1t is making money, and it
has brought changes in traffic routes
between the United States and the
Orient, the west coast of South Amer
ica, the Atlantic Seaboard and the
Pacific slope" In the decade, the
Boston Transcript points out. the
canal "has demonstrated many things
among them the fact that there is
nothing so practical as the human
Imagination which conceived prof.
ect that for centuries had looked
quite impracticab1e to the human
practicable intellect. When the
Imagination of man began to work
dynamically as well as statically, the
canal was built. In 10 years $780,
00O, 900 of the great cost has been
reimbursed by tolls alone: and this
represents but part of the advan-
tage that it has brought, for $500
United States ships have passed
through the canal toll free, evidenc-
ing it's actual and potential value
to the Government"
'The canal has been in use long
enough to be accepted as no longer a
novelty" declares the Pittsburgh Ga
zette Times, the stupendouS effect on
commerce wrought by the building
of the canal is apparent in the use
made of it," for comparatively few
of the vessels recorded as passing
through would have rounded Cape
Horn or dared the Straits of Magellan
in the absence of this waterway; thus
it has promoted communication by
making feasible from one of our
coasts to the other, as well as pro-
viding shortened route from Eu-
rope to the Orient"

Is the fear that the canal will soon
prove inadequate to the demand upon
it, and that second canal will be
necessary" continues the ST. Joseph
