The dOckyard, known as the Kiang-

tract with the enterprise for build

contract will be prevented.

POOR JUDGMENT

Frankness compels the admission that there is excuse for the uncertainty in Eu- rope regarding the precise scope of the Sen ate world court membership reservation which declares that the tribunal is not to be allowed to render advisory opinions in any case in which America may claim interest without the consent of the American gov ernment. There is no necessity for any ac- tion by the league officials and their ten dency to butt in is, to says the least, a piece of poor judgment.

LOCAL INVESTIGATIONS

The controversies in the House of Rep resentatives over Commissioner Fenning's connection with the estates of war veterans have broadened into demand for general Investigation of the District government The House committee in charge of veterans legislation has decided to make an inquiry into Commissioner Fenning's record as guardian of veterans, while the House com mittee on the District of Columbia proposes to investigate the District government.
 It is just as we'll that the inquiries should be made. The District authorities doubtless will welcome an investigation. And if the inquiry should be made by joint commit tee of the House and Senate, the community would have some hope that the long-stand- ing dispute regarding the contributions by the Federal government and. local taxpay CTS would be adjusted
 The inquiry into Commissioned Fen ning's guardianship of war veterans can not fail to bring out the truth, thereby set ting at rest the rumors which have been so freely circulated in the House. The charg- es made against Mr. Fenning, if untrue, are doubly unjust, because there is no tribunal into which he can hale his accusers. By means of the House Investigation he can properly defend himself. He is now entitl- ed to full hearing. The House, which has listened to the accusations against him, ought to have from its committee full re- port, including his defense

 National progress and development, it is said, hinge largely on the nutritive quail ties of the food consumed. There is an in creasing desire on the part of the people, it is said to be physically fit.
