questions. None Of these questions il
new, but up to date it has never been
possible to discuss any one Of them
usefully because Of tho state Of mind
in the several countries.
In Wilson's Position.
In sense Macdonald may now find
himself in something Of the position
occupied BY Woodrow Wilson at Paris
All things considered, he has today the
confidence Of Europe to an extent en-
5oyed by no man since Mr. Wilson. He
has a great advantage over Mr.. Will
son due to the fact that he has spent
practically all his mature life in Par
lament and in the closest sort Of per
sonal relations with men and afrairs
and with continental as well as British
groups. In all the months since he
took over the conduct Of foreign affairs
from Viscount Curzon at moment
when British prestige was at the low
est point in modern times, he has made
no serious mistake and he has accom-
plished much. 1t is due to his course
that the Dawes report is now to be
discussed in an atmosphere totally diff
ferent from that which has prevailed
in all the recent international gather
ings, not excepting the Washington con-
ference. Moreover, his formal and pub
lie reputation of policy seeking the
isolation of France seems to me a turn
ing point in the whole discussion.
Whether the Dawes report will work
when put into operation, what the ulti-
mate consequences may Be Of what is
confessedly the hugest international
economic experiment in human history.
these are problems for the future. But
now I feel certain that it win be put
into operation, following substantial
Franco-B British agreement, and that
European skies will become clearer and
clearer in the next few months. Mean
time it would be hard to exaggerate
the importance Of European events and
news in the period which will be COW
cred by the American domestic political
campaign.

Real Workers in the National Capital

local lodge of federal employees, and
Borland was beaten for denomination
in a district he thought he owned.
Then the war came and Steward was
ordered to Washington to direct a
phase Of the governments work. The
federal employees scattered locals
were made into a national organiza-
tion through the efforts of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, and Steward
was made its first vice president.
The president went to war, and Stew
ard succeeded.
II didn't want the job" said he.
''But it was put up to me and after
trying for six weeks to find some one
who would take 1t and failing, I took
it myself. 1 didn't mind the bricks. "
Enough about Steward. But there
is more to say Of his conception of
the Federal Employees Union. 1t
was through the influence of the
union that >the reclassifcation bill
was enacted, by which federal posi-
tions are classified by duties. 1t
carries also an increase in salaries,
which is highly pleasing to the en-
ployes, of course. and will go into
effect on July 1 of this year, SO far
as the District is concerned.
Steward Voices Union View.
The employees in the field will be
cared for later on. But the union
view, as voiced by Steward, is that
this is not a selfish measure, enacted
fn 20
Our view is that the people should
be educated to regard the service of
the government as a business" says
he.
1T should be properly compen-
stated.
Pay can never be given on equality
with the salaries afforded in COM
mercial life, nor do we ask this.
There are other features in the gov
ernment service which compensate
for a deficiency in pay.
But government business should
be regarded as profession. 1t is
utterly unlike work in private estab-
lishments. Our union has never
sought to save a job for a loafer, or
to keep men on the pay rool after the
need for their activities has abated.
Urges Proper Training.
Our administrators should be
properly trained. Are the Army and
Navy the only government services
that are worth whileo Promotion
should be encouraged upon merit At
present it is too much like a game of
dice We should have a school in
which civil servants might be edu-
Gated At present Alice in Wonder
land would seem a far better hand
book of practice than is issued by
many government administrators "
And he says one more thing
We are doing a thing unique in
the history of the world says he.
This is the only time on record
when a body of public employees set
about improving the quality Of gov
ernment service. Remember that
We're trying to get better work as
well as better pay"
The reason why he never cared a
hoot for a job was that he never
thought OF a job as just a meal
ticket A job was something to take
pride in. Not merely a point of con-
tact with the cakes.

Bishop of Washington.

worthy son who declared mo man is
ever greater than his mother" There
may be many definitions OF great
ness, but when we como to weigh
them in the scales of discriminating
the beauty and refinement of mother
love with it's persuasive and per-
vasive influence tranScendS all other
forms of true greatness. The very
simplicity and homeliness of this love
as it discloses itself within the more
intimate circle of the home gives 1t
distinction peculiarly it's own. The
strongest men whose conspicuous
service to the nation makes them no
tables pay unfailing tribute to the
power of motherlove. The lad in
the strange city whose early life has
been lived within the confines of
humble home still feels amidst all the
straining and testing temptations of
potential influences that proceed
from the mothers heart.
The soldier smitten on the field of
battle with his latest breath, utters
the one word that discloses the deep
est feelings of his heart. Even the
man coarsened and sometimes brutal
lied through contact with the grosser
things of life still pays reverent
tribute to the woman who. bore him.
There are some things so high and
themselves to any form Of praise we
may bestow upon them. However far
removed we may be in time and
place from the hallowed associa-
tions of childhood, it is utterly i'm
possible for US to ever forget the
did more to mold and shape our
characters than all the other influ-
ences that have played about our
lives.
Conserving Home Things.
Nothing deserves more careful con-
sideration in our day and generation
than the conservation of those things
that relate to the home. A nation
that gives it's first concern to this
most fundamental of institutions is
the one that will longest endure. The
nation that cultivates in its youth
chivalrous affection and devotion for
the things of the home and mother
hood will inevitably produce the
happiest and most prosperous people.
The church itself, with all its sacred
Offices, depends upon the home and
it's wholesome ways for it's security
and enrichment.
On this Mothers Sunday we chiv-
alrously turn to those whom God has
given the highest and holiest of re-
sponsibilities, expecting from them.
through example and precept, those
things that are most vitality related
to character building. Statesmen may
legiSlate all kinds of reform aSsocia
tions and agencies may prosecute
their worthy tasks, captains of in
dustry and industrial workers may
conspire together to make this the
richest and most prosperous of world
powers. but when alrs said and done,
the character of our youth. which
alone guarantees the stability of the
nation, is formed and fashioned by
the sacred influence of the mother.

by the end of the year it will be
actually in operation.
My conviction is that Europe, speak
disturbing element is out of the
question for some time. Germany is
potentially a danger and it is manifest
that the process of cooling off has
gone a much shorter distance there than
anywhere else in western Europe. Until
the Dawes report was made the states
men of most European countries were
more concerned with the dangers in
cident to surrendering things which
were demanded by their publics than
with bearing the responsibility for post
poning or even preventing adjustment
This was because publics were, speak
ing generally, far more inSistent upon
their rights than they were convinced
Of the need of sacrifice and COM
promise.
Weakness of Statesmen.
The weakness of statesmen has lain
in their refusal to educate their pub
lies. They have been sausred to let
their peoples cling to impossible hopes.
But the education of the publics of
all nations has made remarkable prog
ress in the past year. The occupation
Of the Ruhr may yet turn out to have
heen beyond debate the turning point
in the postwar adjustments, because
II demonstrated that nothing was pos
sible. save as there were profound con-
cessions made on all sides.
Mr.. Macdonald is going to bargain
with France He is going to get an
unlimited chance for the Dawes report

il for nothing. He is going to get Ger
many into the league Of nations and
he is going, in so far as he can. to
transform the league into real force
in European affairs. But along the
way he will have to discuss inter-
allied debts. Angio-French relations in

onus Of fulfllment upon France.
If France agrees to stipulats a def
mite period for retirement then the
Germans say, they will adopt the
Dawes report in full III Il F. Franee rncsd does ss
make reservations. This line Of rea-
soning is typical Of that which has
marked many efforts to dodge ful-
fillment since the war ended. Mere
news OF this German purpose Is suf-
f1cient ~ to strengthen Potncare's
hands in the French elections
In the meantime the allies are paw
ing the way for agreements, all Of
which tend to remove obstacles to
united front in case the Nationalist
should gain control of Germany and
resist allied dictates further. Should
they present a united front, then
Germany, in view Of political, eco
nomic and social necessities, is ex-
pected to capitulate eventually,
though it may be expected that
months will elapse before order can
como out OF the present political
chaos.

With every asset there follows a
responsibility; with every action
there is a reaction. Men of genius
are proverbially weak in certain
ways. Men with energy and vision
have far greater temptations than
those who have not this energy and
vision. 1t is only natural that those
who are the most brilliant should
be tempted to spread out too much
and become involved in too many
undertakings. The able business
man sees so many opportunities
wherever he goes and whatever he
does that it is very difficult for him
to refrain from seizing one now and
then. He sees possibilities in almost
every person whom he meets. 1t is
largely his ability to see these oppor-
tunities that makes him successful
business man. However. every man
has only a limited amount of time
and energy. IF he undertakes too
much he is apt to overload and fall
down. Many men of integrity. in
dustry and initiative fall down be-
