Mike GOES INT
POLITICS

! INSTRUMENTATION as to what
the parties are doing in Congress
will have first tilt with the general
run o. the mike when loud speakers
start to do their stuff in the liv-
ing rooms OF the nation this eve
ming.
AT I o'clock the first Of the
Voters Service programs, intended
to serve information to the voters,
will come from WRC and the
great chain. The floor leaders Of
the Republican and Democratic
parties in the United States Senate
will each have opportunity to tell
What Congress Is Doing If any
thing. They are no less than
Senator Charles Curtis Of Kansas.
an avowed candidate for the Re.
publican nomination for President
of the United States, and Senator
Joseph T.. Robinson of Arkansas,
one of the abIest stumbling blocks
to Republican achievement in the
Senate. Charles q. Ross, cores
pondent in Washington of the St.
Louis Post Dispatch, win have
charge Of the program.
There will be competition in many
quarters. however, with dinner
music orchestras and other local
broadcasts of early evening pro-
grams. As there are favorite or.
chestras habitually tuned by listen
ers. or favorite programs that have
the same sort OF clientele, the poll
ticians will be put on their toes
right from the start TO keep their
audience, which is one OF the little
things they win be compelled TO
learn to do.

UNITED STATES
IN WORLD WAR
Ten Years Ago Today.

It Is officially announced that Presi-
dent Wilson expects to sail for France
Immediately after the opening OF the
regular session of Congress, for the pur-
pose of taking part in the discussion
and settlement of the main features OF
the treaty of peace. He will be accom-
panied by delegates who will sit as the
Representatives of the United states
throughout the conference.
American troops enter Belgium and oc-
cupy the Briey area, the great iron basin
from which Germany has derived tWo-
thirds Of Its iron for war purposes since
1914. The Senate passes the
prohibition bill, and the measure goes
to the President for his signature:
British armies advance toward
the Rhine with cleaning accouterments
and nuttering flags enlivening the
march. Returning refugees, shivering
but Joyous, hail the passing armies.
. The greatest naval surrender
the world has ever witnessed Is initiated
as q huge German armada leaves port.
on its way to surrender to the allied
fleet. 1t is now widely recog-
nized that Gen. Pershings campaign
for Sedan was one of the best prepared
and executed Of the whole war. In It's
early stages there was much European
criticism growing out of three things

for parceling out the American Army.
because he dispensed with European
training at the end of August and sub
stituted American methods and, third,

mated at nearly two hundred billions OF

right of petition or protest. They had
their opportunity to get license for a
parade. They had the right to lay
their protest before the proper author
tiles without parade IL they wished.
The fact is they did not want to be
given permit to parade or to present
their protest They wanted to be ar
rested and to be Jailed, and they were
accommodated. They have got their
modicum of publicity. and it. has made
no impression whatever upon the pub
lie mind AS far as affecting the opin-
ion of the Nation is concerned. they
might as well have remained at home
and saved the cost of their banners and
placards They might have kept at
work earning wages
Propaganda by such as these among
the workers in the shops" as the Com
munist representative indicates, can
not 60 very far toward undermining the
foundations of Government. Every one
of these twenty-five could be turned
loose to talk and agitate indefinitely
and without restraint, and the net re-
suit would probably be an increase of
public feeling against communism.
Evening star., 1928-11-18
The Jailed Agitators,

A representative of the Communist
party has come to Washington to Sc
cure the release of the twenty-five per-
sons now in jail under sentences for
participating In an unlicensed parade a
few days ago. Three of those originally
arrested have already gained their free
dom on bond pending appeals, and the
purpose of the agent Of the Communist
party Is to effect the similar release OF
the others in order he frankly says,
that they can thus be free to continue
their activities among the workers in
shops" There is no way to prevent
their release under bond, even though
this may be the purpose. They can
indeed gain their freedom by paying
their fines, in default of which they
have been jailed.
While there is no direct claim that
these Communists are being held in re-
straint in order to keep them from con.
Quoting their propaganda. the leaders
and spokesmen Of the radical organiza.
ton are prone to imply that the Gov
ernment authorities are taking advan.
tage of the violation of the municipal
ordinance to put them out of commits.

Public Building Contracts.

In ruling that the Treasury Depart
ment may reject bids for public build
ing construction from contractors who
failed to qualify as responsible, the
controller general has cleared the
way for the most satisfactory proce-
durc in the execution of the great pro-
gram of Government housing now
started in this city. BY virtue of this
decision the Government may reject
the lowest bids submitted on the score
that they are presented by individuals
or companies that lack the necessary
qualifications for carrying out their
undertakings fully and satisfactorily
The controller rules that the Govern.
ment cannot exclude anybody from the
bidding, but it is justified in requir.
ing each bidder to make . detailed
showing as TO his business and tech
nical organization available for the
work, rs to his ability to finance tho
work and as to the quality of work
constructed by him during 8 specified
period.
The reason for this ruling is tha
In the past, under the lowest bidder
principle OF selection. contracts have
been let for construction work to Arms
that could not carry them out. with
Evening star., 1928-11-18

the result Of long delays and. In the
end. of greater expense to the Govern
ment. The lowest bid is not always the
cheapest.
The two most important elements
in public building construction, as in
private enterprise OF this character,
ere quality and time. In the case of
the Government constructions projected
for Washington the work should be of
the highest quality. 1t should be
finished in the least possible time COM
pa:ible with good workmanship. The
failure of a contractor TO meet the
terms of his undertaking in point of
time may add materially to the ul-
innate cost inasmuch as in Num-
Der of instances the new buildings
projected are designed to house Federal
service bureaus and departments now
occupying private quarters, the rentals
for which are heavy. Every month of
delay in the completion of these works
means an addition to the bill of expense.
Public building construction need not
be slow. although it often is. It can
be prosecuted as quickly as work for
private owners In the case of the
present great program for Washington
there is assurance that the necessary
appropriations will be forthcoming as
speedily as the work passes through its
orderly stages. It is, therefore. essen
tial that the contracts be let to or
ganizations that are prepared and
equipped and qualified to carry them
out on schedule.

EVERYDAY RELIGION
BY THE RIGHT REV JAMES E. FREEMAN D. y. LII. D,
Bishop of Washington

efficiency. the Christian religion is be-
ing subjected to fresh scrutiny and
SeVerer tests. We sat recently in a
great public meeting where splendid
arguments were presented in behalf of
Christianity. They we're eloquent. ap-
pea;ing and forceful, and doubtless made
a deep impression. Presently voice
from the crowd" man from the street,
who was immersed In the concerns Of
his profession, rose and told in simple
language the story of his own life.
Modestly, and without any attempt to be
eloquent. he simply submitted the evi-
dence Of his transformed life as the
proof Of what Christianity can do for
one who accepts it and lives by its pre-
cepts. He had been much in the world
too much; his philosophy had been ma
terialistic and his whole habit of life
had done violence to moral and ethical
ideals. He was a college man, and in
his student life, as he told the story,
he regarded himself as quite beyond so
puerlle a system as Christianity sets
forth. At the crisis he had turned to
Christ as last resort. He accepted on
man willeth to do My will, he shall
know the teaching" This quiet testi-
mony given by high-minded man, who
had passed through a great experience,
might be expressed in the words Of the
above text "One thing ] know, that,
whereas was blind, now I see." I
studied the audience as this testimony
concluded, and the effect was amazing.
Where argument had failed, or If 1t had
not failed had proved little more than
interesting. the testimony of life
proved irresistible.
Too many of us simply regard our
Christian belief as an expression; a form
of words an occasional act of devotion
1t is infinitely more than all of these-it
is inclusive of them. Christian belief
and Christian disciplehood is more than
profession of faith; 1t is life sub
missive 70 the will of Christ A single
life that witnesses in daily practice and
habit TO the ideals set before men by
Jesus Christ effects more salutary in
f1usnce than loud professions Of adher-
ence to some cult or institution.
No matter how captious and seeming
ly indifferent men and women may be
to the call of the church, they cannot
deny the living witness to the power OF
q Cnrist-transformed life.

A Multilateral Wine Pact.

While the United States and three
quarters of the rest of the world have
entered into a general pact for the
renunciation of war, seven countries
have Just deposited with the League of
Nations a nultilateral pact for the
renunciation of total abstinence. The
treaty was Signed-like Mr.. Kellogg's
pact-at Paris. as long ago as November
| 20, 1924 But 1t did not go into effect
until october 30 1927. and the world
has heard of it only this Fall in con-
sequence of its recent filing at Geneva.
The pact is ofiicially termed AN
Agreement Providing for the Establish
ment In Paris of an International Wine
Office" The signatory nations are
Spain, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy.
Luxembourg. Portugal and Tunis. Para
graph of Article Of the pact tells
what the Juice in the contractual grape
Is: ITO collect. study and publish in
formation tending to demonstrate the
beneficent effects of wine" and "its
hygienic influence as an agent in the
fight against alcoholism"
The information" is, of course, to be
published" for the benefit Of back
ward peoples-like the inhabitants of
the United States-who either do not
appreciate or have renounced "the
beneficent effects of wine" An Amer
ican commentator, who claims to be
the discoverer of this ingenious Old
World conspiracy to aggravate the
Yankee thirst, expresses the opinion
that the underlying purpose is to carry
on a campaign, presumably throughout
the world. to promote the sale Of wine"
He adds, such a plan constitutes. In
effect, an anti-prohibition campaign. at
least in so far as the traffic in wine is
concerned"
Prohibition thus far, with the excep-
tion of an occasional seizure OF
foreign smuggling craft caught lettering
within the twelve-mile limit, has been
pretty much of local American affair.
The international Wine once is ap-
parently determined to make prohibi-
ton foreign affair. In the face Of
such q menace. the shade of Wayne b.
Wheeler will not fail to come forth and
warn the Anti-saloon League to divert
its eagle eye from Capitol Hill and turn
it in the direction whence danger now
really lurks--the boulevards of Paris
and the habitat of the International
Wine Office. The day seems to be
dawning when the I. w. o. may become
more of a peril to the Constitution OF
the United states than ever the
!. w. w. was.

Puzzling Testimony.

Testimony given before the United
States district attorney in New York
who is investigating the circumstances
| attending the Vestris disaster, indi.
Gates very clearly as far as it has gone
that there was incompetence on board
the steamer. and also that there has
been an evident attempt by the own
ing company to prevent the full dis
closure Of the facts at the inquiry. A
direct suggestion to the latter effect
has been made by the district attorney
to the commissioner before whom the
witnesses are being examined, on the
strength of vacillating statements made
by the wireless operator regarding an
early radio announcement of danger
by the commander of the Vestris than
that which called for assistance. Again
yesterday the testimony of the first Of
f1cer, who had, it would seem, evaded
service for two days. during which, he
acknowledges, he was in consultation
with officials and attorneys of the
corporation, was so vague as to condi-
tions on board the Vestris that he
would apnear to be either incompetent
or deliberately seeking to conceal the
facts.
The captain of the Vestris on Mon
day morning dispatched a radio mes
sage to his company stating that he
had been hove-to since noon on Sunday,
the ship leaking badly and developing
list of thirty-two degrees. The first
ofIicer yesterday in his testimony said
that there was no development of a
list until Sunday night, that, in fact,
it was not until seven or seven-thirty
Sunday night that anything out of
order on the ship was, discovered Here
is q conflict Of testimony, that of the
dead captain, who cannot be ques-
toned, and that of the living first Of
ficer. The oficer says that the ship
sank because Of exceptionally bad wea-
ther. He says further that the ship
was making water through some undis-
covered leak. He says further that the
rough seas caused violent lurch which
shifted some twelve tons of cargo about
fifteen feet. This cargo shifting, he
admits, was not suficient to explain
the sinking Of the ship. There must
have been water in the hold some
where. he said. Questioned as to its
source, he gave puzzling replies.
The inference from this performance
is that an attempt is being made to
cause the sinking of the Vestris to ap-
pear to have been the unavoidable result
of bad weather. Against the testimony of
the first officer is that of members of
the crew and passengers. If the mys-
terry regarding the early announcement
of peril sent on Sunday and later with
drawn can be cleared an ugly case may
be made against the owners of the ship
or their agents. Certainly the spec
tacle of the virtual concealment of a
witness for two days while he was be-
ing, let 1t be said, coached as to his
testimony does not raise a presumption
Of innocence in their favor.
