Of one of the most fanatical of the

Other desertions have occurred, more

Saklatvala and the Law.

President Coolidge makes it clear
that he regards that the law which
prohibits the entrance of persons into
the United States holding incendiary
and subversive views in regard to
government applies to all. whether
potential citizens of this country or
as tourists, or unofficial delegates to
conventions. The law Is plain. and 1t
as plainly applies to the exclusion of
Shapurji Saklatvala as to any other.
fnasmuch as Saklatvala was not in
vited to come to the United States he
had no right Of entrance II this Gov
ernment regarded him as in the cate
cory of undesirable visitors. His re-
ported and undenied language in pub
lie utterances, whether 1t referred to
conditions In India specifically or not,
has been certainly Of character to
classify him as a revolutionary. an in
ternational Communist. He virtually
said that he was coming to the United
States as friend Of the workers to
advocate workers revolution" :"
That is all there Is to the case. SYM
pathy for Saklatvala is misplaced and
unwarranted. SO long as the law reads
as it does. no other course Is possible
than to exclude all such people as this
incendiary.

system will be seriously taxed. There
will be many classes overcrowding the
classrooms. There will be buildings
filled to overfiowing. There will be
need of half-time and platoon sy stem
class arrangements. In short, with
the smallest enrolment possible the
schools will be congested and the work
done in them will be lessened in value.
Work is under way for the relief of
this condition. New buildings are
being erected. additional ones are
being planned, under a system Of ap-
constructions which, if carried out
consistently and uninterruptedly. will
in a few years catch up with the ar
rears and give the District for the
first time in its school history an ade-
quate public instruction equipment.
Despite these conditions the public
schools Of the District have done and
are doing good work Whereas a
few years ago there was a serious
shortage Of teachers, owing. in part
10 lne war requirements, HOW TINS
lack has been supplied. The schools
are amply and capably manned. The
standard of efficiency is high.
This school year will find the
schools better supplied with text
books. Obsolete books, rendered so by
the changes incident to the war, will
be replaced. The children will no
longer be required to study about con-
ditions that have materially changed
since the publication Of the texts.
The administration Of the school
system is in excellent hands. The
school affairs are conducted capably
and with less friction at present than
for some time past. The teaching
body is harmonious. No unfavorable
repercussions Of disputes and quar-
rels over methods and practices af-
feet the children in the classrooms.
Taken Altogether, with increase
building equipment and with an ade-
quate teaching force, the Districts
public educational system should in
the year to come render the greatest
service to the community in its his

MEN AND AFFAIRS
BY ROBERT T. SMALL.

Washington already IL feeling the
influx Of the statesmen, getting ready
for tho big show on Capitol Hill,
which opens the first Monday In De.
cember. The fact that the national
legislative curtain does not rise for
another two months and q half ts no
deterrent to the incoming Represents
tives and Senators.
All Of which leads naturally to q
consideration Of the question as to
why Representatives and Senators
leave home. The reasons are many
and varied. Some come back to Wash
ington early each year to put the chill.
dren in school. Washington is more
like home to many of the solons than
their own towns and hamlets. Some
own their own houses here; others
maintain their homes and apartments
on an all-year basis. There was moth
ing like that in the olden days.
Most Senators and Representatives
who have been in public life any
length of time at all. like the limelight
which plays about Washington. They
like the social gayeties of the Capital
They like their nice mahogany Offices
In the white marble office buildings
Pennsylvania avenue is far more en-
ticing and intriguing than Main street
Still there are other reasons, and
one western member of the House has
very frankly stated to the writer why
he left home at this time.
There are q lot Of petty political
squabbles going on out my way" he
said. "and as / didn't want to get
mixed up in any Of them thought II
best that 1 should have pressing bust
ness in Washington. They would all
be coming to me as an arbiter and I'd
be sure to offend some Of the squad
blers. Life in Washington is far
more calm and peaceful than out on
the prairies. Would you like to make
a fourth at bridge this afternoon"
Among the first of the Senators on
the scene. as always, is Reed Smoot
of Utah. Being a Senator Is more of
a business to Reed Smoot than to any
Of his fellow solons, although there
When the late Senator Aldrich Of
Senate finance committee he was re-
ferred to nearly always as general
manager of the United States. Sena-
tor Smoot is now chairman of that
committee, and while he is not so spec

ager" of a far bigger concern than

tutions were backward and out of step
with the new age of progress. Both
China and Japan have emerged from
their restricted and insular life and
hold conspicuous places today IN the
council Of nations.
Our postwar period has been marked
by more unrest and dissattsfactton
than any other period in our genera
ton. There are those who look on
these new signs with concern and
alarm. They seem to fear that the old
landmarks are to be effaced and the
foundations themselves to be de-
stroyed. We do not believe this to be
true. The great Master himself was
essentially progressive in thought
ties OF His age repelled and ultimately
crucified Him. They regarded Him as
an innovator. possibly as a revolu-
ZIONIST He quickly saw the shallow
ness OF their convictions and the pur-
poselessness of their methods. His
first public act was to cleanse the sa-
cred precincts of practices that long
and prevailing custom had sanctioned.
He inveighed against a system Of re-
ligion that made clean the outside. but
within was full of all manner Of un-
cleanness So marked was His inf1u-
ence upon His disciples that their crit
les said concerning them: They that
have turned the world upside down
have come hither also There was
nothing in the teachings OF Christ
that upheld provincial or insular
habit of life. He did not speak merely
to His own age and people. but to
every age and every people. The
mighty system He taught, unlike
other notable religious systems, was
neither ethnic nor tribal. Judged BY
human standards, He was not q con-
servative.
In an age such as the present, that
Is marked by unrest and dissatisfac-
ton on every hand. the church as an
institution cannot remain static. The
teachings Of Jesus have lost none Of
their power of appeal. Men are more
deeply interested in His personality
and His ideals Of life than they have
ever been. Perhaps they are not as
much interested in matters of church
polity or the conceits of denomina-
uonalism. They certainly are not in
terested in substitutes for the Chris
tian religion or the abstract theories
Of theologians. The church as well as
the individual must eXemplify belief
through practice. individually and
collectively the members Of the Chris
tan community must give to an eager
age practical demonstration of the
faith that Is in them. If there Is need
or revising methods to meet the de-
mands OF a restless age, or II some
OF our systems seem to be out OF
touch with the conditions Of modern
life. then 1t is time for the declara-
ton to go forth, THE place where we
dwell Is too strait for u.s." Let ii be
said with deep conviction neither big
otry nor intolerance, nor yet insularity
or proud conceit, can contribute to the
solution of the mighty problems that
confront us.

The Press and National Interests.

| The American press should stand
| for America first. This in a nutshell
| is the view Of the White House with
reference to the attitude of the
press In the coming delicate negotia
tions of the French war debt to this
country.
| 1t is a pardonable hope on the part
Of the administration that partisan
! politics will be laid aside for a brief
moment in dealing with a matter of so
great Importance to the entire Nation
as the funding Of the French debt. 1t
| may be too much to expect some op-
ponents of the administration not to
picture it as a Shylock in dealing with
France, or to expect some other op-
ponents to fail to denounce the ad-
ministration as weakened and too
lenient.
The hope felt with regard to
the American press might with jus
tice be expressed with regard to mem.
bers of Congress during this period of
negotiation. Doubtless those who have
their country's interest at heart will
abstain from critical comment Of the
! manner in which the American COM
mission. representative of the admin
| istration, handles the matter. Criti-
cism Of the American attitude can
| only give comfort to the critics abroad
and perhaps encourage an opposition
to the settlement of the debt problem
in accordance with the principles
deemed fair and just by President
Coolidge and his advisers.
! How many American statesmen and
newspapers have declared that Ameri-
cans should stand united at the waters
edge; that partisanship should be
abandoned in dealing with interna-
tional questions? And hoW many have
failed to live up to such doctrine?
Their number is confined by no means
to any one political party.
In the end Congress must pass upon
the agreements made by the admins
tration with France. Italy and other
foreign debtors of the United States.
1t would be too much to expect that
Congress would be a unit in approx
ing the agreements so entered into.
If there is justifiable criticism it should
be made when the debt settlements
are before Congress for action. But in
the period Of negotiation, which is in
the hands of the President and the
commission created by Congress to
handle the debt funding. it is not too
much to expect that Americans will
stand back Of their Government
