Disarmament the Only
WAY Surely to Stop Wa

Way Surely to Stop War
To the Editor of The Star:
AS daily reader of The Star, may I
through your valuable paper say few
words regarding the kellogg peace
treaty? l believe that this treaty is
sound in principle but it doesn't go far
enough, because there are so many
reservations in it made by the different
nations that 1t would be comparatively
easy for any of the countries involved
in it to break their pledges and start
another world conflagration. I hold
that the only way, the best way and
the quickest way to completely and
forever Danish war from the earth is
for all the nations of the world to
adopt a policy of universal disarma-
ment, and then the nations could not
start a war and fight even If they
would. That's the only sane and sure
way to completely and forever crush
war from the WOrld-a world that has
been drenched in blood from pole to
pole during its long. dark and dread
full history. The Kellogg peace treaty is
only halfway measure, because 1t
seems to me that If all the nations were
in zeal earnest about banishing war
from the world, then they would all
adopt plan of complete universal dis
armament, and I am positive II this
plan were put in to force on world
wide scale, then war would shortly be-
come as extinct as the Dodo.

Animal Rescue League
Not a Slaughter House
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star
I have read with considerable inter-
est and surprise the recent letters to
The Star criticizing the purpose and
methods of the Animal Rescue League.
Prior to seeing these communications !
would have supposed it inconceivable
that any one should protest the activi-
ties of the league.
The situation seems to be very SIM
pie, namely, that we have with us
surplus population of dogs and cats.
Granting that there is sufficient de-
mand (Which I do not believe exists
to take care of all the desirable speci-
mems, there yet remains a large num-
Der of animals which on account of
age, sex or condition cannot be placed
in homes and which must be humanely
disposed of or left to shift and suffer
by themselves This is the actual situa-
ton in Washington, and to intimate,
as did a recent correspondent, that our
kind-hearted citizens should absorb a
surplus and unchecked population OF
such animals seems rather to be the
expression of puerile, albeit sincere,
desire than the proposal of practical
solution.
The league is not a slaughter
house." as stated by this correspondent.
but clearing house. It appears that
a fair proportion of animals are claimed
by their owners or adopted as pets, and
that the remainder are humanely dis
posed of. Indeed, pray tell us what
other course is feasible?
The writer has had dealings with the
league both in disposing of animals and
in securing pets, and possesses now two
fine pets which were procured from the
league. 1t would seem a whole lot
better, instead of knocking an institu-
ton which is honestly trying to solve
one of the difficult problems of modern
civilized life, to give it at least our moral
support H. w. LUCE.

Need to Bring Out Bass
Justifes Loud Speaker
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Some of us who are radio enthusiasts
are a little surprised at the anlmosity
to radio loud speakers that has recent
" been seen in the columns OF the
Star. A little while ago we enjoyed
the editorial that would have radio sets
operated at a volume sufficient to be
heard only within the bounds OF the
,perator's house. Will some one inform
MS lust how we are to compel sound
waves to lose their energy as they reach
our open windows during these sum-
mer months? Perhaps, like unfortu-
mates who have some air-borne disease
we should have closed all our WINDOWS
during the hot weather. Or maybe We
should all gather within couple OIL
feet from our loud speakers ana turn
the volume down so low we VIII no
longer hear any but the higher Ire
QuencieS.
Sometimes we believe that those VINO
do not like our loud speakers forget
that they are the best we can aHord
and that we try to operate them at
volume that gives what we believe 10
be the best reproduction. Due TO tne
great difficulty Of reproducing WIN
equal volume both the bass notes ana
the higher frequencies, 1t Is necessary
to increase the volume to point where
the low notes can be heard. MUSIC
with the higher notes somewhat over
emphasized, but with the bass audible,
is certainly to be preferred to music
that entirely loses the lower notes. Pro-
grams leave the broadcasting antenna
such that if the announcer's voice Is
reproduced by the receivers LOUD speak
er at about ordinary talking volume
the music will be right" With most
sets and speakers a reduction Oh volume
below this level means loss OF part or
all of the bass note reproduction ana
fullness of tone which the sets may be
able to emit. We believe most radio
owners try to operate their sets at THIS
volume. Do you blame them?
To be sure, some OF the very latest
model sets equipped with dynamic
speakers can reproduce satisfactorily
all the music at a very low audibility
level. But not one person in thou
sand has such set, and few will be
able to afford them in the near future.
AS to complaints that speakers are
blasting away from am. to l am.
they concern such few cases that they
are unworthy of mention. If any one
cares to go to the trouble of going
around our residential districts and
listening, as he passes, for loud speakers
he will hear very few indeed after IL
pm. and most of such as can be heard
are certainly not loud enough to dis
turb the sleep of healthy person in
a neighboring house. To be sure, a
neighbor who is i'll should receive all
the consideration possible, and most
radio fans would willingly turn off theft
sets completely for such folks
In this age of so many thou shalt
nots" is it wise for another very small
minority to attack one of the most
widespread and genuine entertainments
of the American Nation? Radio with
out loud speakers would be worth little
to most families.

Washington and a Radio Outlet.

In the proposed changes affecting
radio broadcasting stations in the zone
in which Washington is located it is
to be hoped that the Capital, as the
point of origin Of many national events
which are broadcast over a Nation wide
network of stations, will not be over
looked in so far as favorable frequency
and power assignments are concerned.
As a matter of fact, it makes little diff
ference to Washington radio listeners
which of the two large local stations
receive the most favorable assignment,
although one of them has the advan-
tage of being an integral part of one
of the national networks which send
out desirable programs. OF greatest i'm
portance In any ALLEGATION plan, how
ever, is the fact that Washington is
the Nations Capital, and that many
events OF interest to the entire Nation
are held here, and here alone. 1t would
not be reasonable to believe that the
Federal Radio Commission, in reassign-
in" frequencies and power, would negate
the purpose of broadcasting In Wash
ington so as to interfere with distribu-
; ton by radio of such an event as the
forthcoming Inauguration OF Presi-
dent next March.
Naturally any change in frequency
| or power which would reduce the serv-
! ice range of a local station broadcast.

lsed taxicabs or other lines Of transit

used taxicabs or other lines Of transit
than those Of the two corporations.
Yesterdays reckoning showed the first
real gain over a year ago on the Inter-
borough, 104, 900 more fares being regis
tered than on the corresponding day in
1927.
The significant fact in this connection
is that on the third day following the
Times Square wreck the travel on the
PETERBOROUGH showed slight gain over
last year The next day. however, &C.
Cured the smoke scare in one of the
tubes. and thereupon the travel fell off
anew and continued at deficiency for
nine days. It was evidently the second
mishap following so quickly upon the
first that brought about the great slump
in business. although that second one
was of minor character. costing no
lives. Should a third accident occur
now the just-reported gain in patron
age would probably be wiped out and
still further decrease in fares would be
recorded, perhaps more protracted than
the second drop Of the late series.
All transportation companies have
had this experience. but never perhaps
before on such large scale. The loss
of more than a million fares in twelve
days is a heavy cut in revenues, more
than 100000. This sum is to be added
to the cost Of the two accidents and
death and injury claims. heavy price
to paw for human and mechanical
faults.

Forecast of Federal Deficit
Debated From Various Angles

Republican policies for material WE'LL
being If therefore prosperity has now
for some time been spotty, if there have
been millions of men out of employ
mcnt, beyond the normal volume of the
unemployed, will the Republican chiefs
assume any responsibility at all, or lay
upon economic forces the whole burden
of the explanations" The Norfolk
Ledger-Dispatch independent Demo-
cratic) states: "A deficit of nearly $780,
100000 is not necessarily a serious
financial condition for the United States
to find itself in, but it presents some
thing for the Coolidge administration
and for its heir, Mr.. Hoover, to eX-
plain"
This development does not mean"
as viewed by the Schenectady Gazette
independent Democratic). that some
thing is wrong in the sense of squan-
dering or misappropriation of funds, but
it does indicate that we are spending
more money every year, and that talk
of decreases in expenditures is political
claptrap."
THE Milwaukee Journal dndepend-
enD says: In vain have the stripes
come off mail bags, the lights been
turned out In Washington offices at
night, a half million buttons from
soldiers uniforms been regilded and
soldiers housed in quarters described as
not decent for human living. In vain
all the cheese-paring economies that
have occupied SO much of the thought
Of Government employeS-So much of
the praise in annual budget speeches.
The ordinary expenses of gov
eminent have gone steadily up since
Mr.. Coolidge became President"
In reply 10 such views, the San Fran
cisco Bulletin (Republican contends:
"A deficit due not to excessive eXpendi-
lures but to inadequate taxation Is not
an evil. 1t can be easily remedied.
There have been increases in Federal
expenditures, but all save fraction of
the increase was due to congressional
appropriations" The Indianapolis News
independently also feels that 1.-The slic-
ing of expenses by less than 100000
900 does not appear out of the question, "
and the Brooklyn Daily Eagle tinde-
pendenD hopes for favorable develop

favorable reaction from the listening
public. Radio has outgrown the day OF
the honky-tonk musical presentation,
and has enlarged itself into a great
and potent factor in dissemination of
knowledge Of the issues OF the day. AL
though Washington, in point Of popu-
lation, does not come within the super
power range, nevertheless it should and
doubtless will receive special consld-
Grafton in view Of its location as CEN
ter of national events, political and
legislative.
To reduce the power of WRC, for
example, to the approximate So watts
proposed in the amendment to the
radio bill of the last Congress would
be to deprive the entire zone of direct
access to some OF the most interesting
national events. Washington should
have a direct radio outlet, without i'm
pairment of power or leSsening OF its
broadcasting efficiency.

Transit Accidents and Losses.

When a person steps into a. street car
or a railway car or any other form OF
public conveyance he does so with con-
hdence in the efficiency Of the trans
portatlon system and in the relia-
hilitv of both human and mecnanlcal
factors. He Anows that there are occa-
sional lapses, breaks, mistakes, plun-
ders and failures, but he unconsciouslY
figures that the percentage OF security
is all in his favor. Nevertheless, When-
aver q serious failure Of operation oc-
Ours that causes disaster there Is re-
action of reluctance to trust to the sys-
stem on which this has developed. This
&c shown in the case of the New York
s,Ibwavs. which have recently been the
Creme of misfortunes. There was first
an accident on the oath OF August,

seventeen lives and the injury OF sew

these two accidents there has been a
