Traffic Approximations

William H. Harland, traffic director
of Washington, has announced that
the funds appropriated by Congress
for the maintenance of the traffic
Office are insufficient and that he will
be compelled to ask for a supple
mental appropriation. For the fiscal
year Congress appropriated $25.30O
for salaries. Mr.. Harland asks that
this sum be increased to $32,1S0. For
maintenance Of electric traffic signals
10000 has been made available, which
the director requests should be
changed to $S2,100. And for an an
nual traffic survey $1,000 is required.
There should be no economy or
parsimony shown by Congress in pro
viding for the needs Of the Traffic
Bureau. Those engaged in this work
must have a certain degree of special
training in order to handle properly
the many-sided problems that arise
And certainly no expense should be
spared in the uniform maintenance
of traffic lights and the installation
Of new signals when their need is
demonstrated.
Considered in all phases, the Traffic
Bureau has become one of the most
important agencies of the local gov
eminent. It's work has primarily tc
do with the safety of the community
and there can be no skimping wher
the matter of human life enters into
an equation. Congress should recog
nize this fact and provide literally, Sc
that this work of regulation of the
more than one hundred thousand
Washington automobiles can proceed
with the maximum results.

The French Debt.

Settling the French debt is as
Stunning the proportions of an in
terminable task. Premier Poincare
addressing the Chamber Of Deputies
yesterday, declared that he hoped to
be able to make better terms" with
the United States in regard to the
French debt to this country. He
added further than the French Parlia'
ment would not ratify the present
agreement.
| If Poincares latter statement is cor
rect, it appears that an impasse has
been reached. If there is one thing
clear in the over-mixed situation, due
to partisan politics, "blocs" of various
brands and general "cussedness" on
the eve of a national campaign, in
which the next Congress will find it.
self, it is that no further concessions
will be made in regard to the war
debt which is owed to this country by
France. Indeed. there is serious op-
position in the Senate to the ratifica-
ton of the settlement which has been
negotiated and is now awaiting action
by the legislative branches in both
countries. No move, according to Sen
ator. Smoot, chairman of the finance
committee, will be made to have the
Senate ratify until France has ap-
proved the settlement.
The French debt to the United
States has been in the process of ad-
justment for long time. This coun-
try has shown no disposition to hurry
France in the matter. It is in no such
doubt in any ones mind that the
sooner the war debts Of France are
funded, the better it will be for the
financial stability of that country.
Paying debts is burdensome task
and unwelcome. But paying debts re-
duces the burden eventually. 1t is the
failure to pay that causes distress,
more often to the debtor than to the
creditor.
Too much politics has been played
over the war debt settlements both In
France and in the United States. Gov
ernments in the former country have
feared they would come to grief over
the funding arrangements for the
debt. Some Of them have, Even now
attacks will be made by some mem
bers Of Congress, seeking to curry
favor with the American taxpayer
upon the present terms Of the debt
settlement, on the ground that they
give too much to France. The same
tactics are followed by French legisla-
tors, appealing to the taxpayers of
France. This brand of politics has
caused a measure of i'll feeling in both
countries. It is mischievous, and
worse. A fair debt settlement, gen.
erous one, is all that the people of
America desire. A fair debt settle.
ment is no doubt the desire of the
people of France. Politicians on both
sides of the ocean, however, have been
responsible in large part for the fail
ure to reach a final agreement long
ago.
The total debt Of France to the
United States is S4,O25, 100000. Many
concessions have been made by the
representatives of the United States
regarding interest and time of pay.
ment. The United States debt fund
ing commission has passed out of ex'
istence, through the lapse Of the law
creating it. Any effort to revive the
discussion over the French settlement
will meet with strong resistance In
the Congress.

Press Pleased at Handling
Of Canadian Immigration

Difficulties that have arisen at the
Canadian border as a result of drastic
provisions of the United States immi-
grafton law of 1924 are expected by the
American press to be Strengthened out
to the satisfaction Of all persons con-
pressed of the spirit Of cooperation
and friendliness that has marked the
negotiations. Trouble was acute, for
a time, at such border cities as Detroit
and Buffalo, which have thousands of
industrial and other workers, who
maintain residence in Canada, many
of whom would be barred by the law
from crossing into the United States
because they are not native-born citi-
zens of the Dominion. The difficulty
has been overcome by extending the
time for Canadians of foreign birth to
meet the requirements, with the
prospect that, in the meanwhile, Con-
gress will take action.

will give attention to the matter"
1T is hoped" declares the Detroit
News, ''that the American Congress
will proceed in the spirit already ex-
pressed by the Secretary OF State, to
amend the law so as to permit all Ca
nadians now working in the United
States to continue to do so without in
terruption. And it would be very help
full if, at the same time. the Canadian
Parliament would consider an amend
ment of it's own law, which would cor
rect the cause of the American dis
elimination between Canadians of ma
tive and foreign birth. This could
be accomplished, for example, by an
amendment of the Canadian natural
ization act so as to extend the full
privilege of Canadian citizenship, in
the matter of travelling abroad, only
after period of four or five years, in
stead of one year, as at present"

Change the Route
Of Saturdays Parade !

To the Editor of The Star:
1t is to be regretted that the COM
mittee on arrangements for the re-
ception to Capt. Lindbergh announces
that the procession will turn south at
Fifteenth street and cut through to
the Monument Grounds.
On this historic occasion the parade
should follow the route of all great
professions and proceed north on
Fifteenth street to the Treasury and
then pass the White House, going to
the Monument Grounds by way of
the magnificent LIST Division Me-
mortal.
Thus the procession would not only
pass the White House, but the sew
eral additional blocks wo<ild give an
opportunity for thousands to view the
parade more easily. 1t is to be hoped
that the committee will order the
change to be made.

Strewing of Flowers
Urged for LindbergI

To the Editor of The Star:
I have a vision in my minds eye,
and with the help of your paper we
can make it come to life; and it is:
If each person along the line Of march
and at the Ellipse Saturday will carry
with him just one flower to toss to Col.
Lindbergh as he passes by, it will
make a most impressive demonstra-
ton of our welcome to him.
1t doesn't have to be a dollhouse
flower; a rose from their gardens will
be just as much appreciated by him,
for he is unpretentious and under
standing, and I believe if this idea is
put before the people through your
paper the majority of his admirers
will thank you for the suggestion and
it will make Col. Lindbergh's reception
very pleasing to him.
