The President Speaks

The most reassuring note that has
come out of Washington lately was
that sounded by President Coolidge,
when he addressed the representa-
tives of the Associated Press at their
annual banquet held in New York on
April %. We have devoted the cover
page of this issue to two or three of
the most refreshing paragraphs which
reveal the fact that vision is not dead,
that there is a prophet in the White
House, and if the country will only
follow up his suggestions and pro-
posals. better and gladder day will
dawn for, not only the United States
but the other countries of the world.
When our President suggests that the
finest thing our country can do in its
relations with other nations is to serve.
an entirely new doctrine is injected
into the vocabulary of national par
ties. Coming at this time when the
subject of peace and the way to in
sure the world against a wars re-
surgence, the words of our President
are of far-reaching value and infiu-
ence. Every loyal and peace-loving
American should thank God for this
word that has already gone round the
world and left it's deep deposit of con-
viction in Legislative and council halls.
The most important action awaiting
General Conference is the message
our church is to deliver to the world
on this subject of peace. The Chicago
Methodist ministers have taken ac-
ton calling for the appointment of a
commission on Peace and War at
Springfield that shall "study the
causes of international war. recon-
mend ways of securing international
peace and formulate a program oil
education with view of creating a
new conscience with respect to war
The Northwestern has already made
this suggestion. and it is sincerely te
be hoped our church will do nothing
| less. A mere ,deliverance, however
strong, will not carry the church's de-
sired weight. It is a work of years
and the church must project its cam.
paign into the future. Northwestern

FINDS 1860 AUTOS
PARKED DOWNTOWN
Maj. Holcombe, in Traffic Survey,
Reveals Congestion on
Busy Streets.

A traffic count taken by the En-
gineer Department of the District
last Saturday morning disclosed
1850 automobiles parked in the
downtown section between the hours
of $3.50 and 1880.
This was announced today by Mai
w. H. Holcomoe, chairman of the
new traffic board, who is now study
ing the engineering phases of the
traffic situation.
This traffic count, Mai HoIcombe
says. shows that one fifth Of the auto
mobiles licensed this year were park
ed In the area bounded by 1st, goth,
and NJ streets. 1t was further
learned that there were four times
as many cars parked per 100 feet of
street space in the heart Of the con-
gested area as there were on the
fringes of that area.
The chairman of the traffic board
stated that these figures suggested
two things to him: first, that more
motorists might park north or south
Of and G streets. where traffic is
not so crowded, and that parking
might be permitted around the Ellipse
and on the roadways of the Mall.
Maj Holcombe had a meeting this
morning with the other two assistant
mond Wheeler and Capt. John Wood.
at which parking and the proposed
widening Of streets again were
discussed. The major said he prob
ably would be ready to make a re-
port to the Commissioners of en-
gineering remedies the latter part of
next week.
