home In order to interpret fragments
of phrases In sentence favorable TO
their designs?
There will be sincere feeling Of
sympathy for the French veteran states
man In his present embarrassment. 1t
will be noted that he does not deny
having said something that might be
interpreted as signifying that in his
Judgment France will never, because 1t
can never. pay the war debt. 1t will be
observed that he does not deny holding
such views. He acknowledges that some
one came to his door" and asked ques-
tions, which he doubtless answered, and
that unknown person" went away and
wrote an interview.
It was, of course indiscreet, though
polite. for M Clemenceau TO receive and
talk with this inquisitive stranger.
Clemenceau is much sought after for
views and expressions regarding the
political situation. He Is always an en-
tertaining talkcr. He makes good copy"
whenever he speaks. He docs not have
to wait to be sought out. Whatever he
writes is certain OF being published. II
would, of course, have been better for
him to indite his own matter for print
ing. 1t would have been far more salts
factory to turn the unknown person"
away with a courteous refusal to talk
on a matter on which he had but to
take pen in hand" In order to COM
mand attention.
But the TACT remains that M. Clemen-
ceau, as the record stands. does not
now say that France can or that she
will pay her debt to the United States
His denial leaves the original declara-
ton in effect undenied. Not that it
makes very much difference, but the
distinction is nevertheless of interest.
And the final effect of the incident is
to prove afresh that 1t is necessary for
every conspicuous parsonage to watch
his words scrupulously and to make
certain OF the intentions of all callers.

pretty much their own way.
Concealment of this grave condition
on the public records will not effect a

worse. Evidently, from the Tribune's

the wiser course to admit that crime

Protest Against Removing

To the Editor OF The star:
The announcement In the press that
the work OF removing the iron gates
~ West Executive avenue is about to
commence prompts me to make an OBJ
servation or two concerning this action.
although I fully realize the futility of
the efforts OF many 10 prevent 1t.
AS / understand the situation, the
gates are being removed so as to pre-
clude further obstruction" to the auto
mobile trafiic OF that avenue. To put
II In blunt language, 1t seems that 1t is
more desirable TO prevent the smashing
OK an auto car than the destruction OF a
human life. The traftic that passes on
Pennsylvania avenue at this point is
exceedingly heavy, especially in the
morning and afternoon, and the stone
standards that support the gates serve
as trafhc policeman at q point where
human one will be needed when the
automobile hazard" Is taken away.
We cater too much to the automobile.
1t Is almost impossible these days for a
pedestrian TO get from one sidewalk 10
the other, especially on a street such as
Connecticut avenue at N street and at
Dupont Circle. which latter place, as the
neck Of bottle, gets the almost never
ending stream OF cars from the same,
though considerably wider. avenue two
blocks below.
But to go back To the gates. They
have been used In the past and could
be used In the future in connection with
inaugural and other big parades. They
even could be used In national or
civic emergency. for they give, when
locked. a certain security to the White
House and environs. Besides their utili-
tartan value, they are not inartistic,
They give what consider q good archi-
tectural setting TO West Executive ave-
nue., with the Executive Mansion on the
left and the State, War and Navy
Building on the right. As a matter of
fact. instead OF even considering the
advisability of removing the gates and
standards. have often wondered why
similar ones were not erected at East
Executive avenue TO balance things, so
to speak, and give like setting to the
Presidents home on the Treasury De-
partment side.
We WaShingtonians are losing too
much OF buildings and things pertaining
10 the earlier history of our city. Is II
not possible to put stop to this wanton
destruction OF the citys most cherished
treasures? II not, lot us commence im-
nediately to create a wide pasSageway
through the middle OF the White House
and Lafayette Square. so that motorists
will not be further inconvenienced b a

PHILOSOPHERS
BY
GLENN FRANK

Yesterday I wrote Of that gracious
and gifted Irish writer. George w.
Russell. known the world around as AE,
who has been for two days a guest in
my home.
He is a carrier of the ancient tradi-
tion OF high talk, Of the sort OF stim-
ulating conversation that used to
abound In the coffee houses OF old Eng
land.
In one Of the engaging conversations
at a late hour Of night, we were talking
of the amazing outburst OF genius that
made the Irish Literary Renaissance.
Talk moved on to American letters
Emerson, Whitman, Frost, Sandburg
and the rest--and. with an impish
twinkle In his eye. AE said that, little
time before, he had to talk about Irish
letters In a New York group of writer's;
he did not want to talk pompously, 80,
half in lest and half In earnest, he told
them that the Irish had five advan-
tages over the Americans in the Gre
alton of literature. These are the FIVE
advantages, as he put them:
I'VE (the Irish) are" he said, poor,
ignorant, idle, unorganized, and behind
the times"
And then for an hour he talked of
the serious contentious back Of these
five jesting characterizations Of his
people. Let me give hint of these
contentious, as I caught them.
Poverty: In America, men who might
become bankers or business men can
turn to writing and make good living;
but in Ireland. the folk are so poor that
no man in his right mind would think
OF trying TO live by writing unless he
were God-obsessed and God-driven to
the art of letters, and so there Is a
kind Of divine selection set up
Ignorance: In America. the people
are so consistently and constantly
schooled that ideas" become an old
story to them--"ideas" are collected like
where schooling has not yet become the
secular religion 1t has become in Amer
lea. the Irishman offers a virgin soil
to ideas" and is naive enough to think
an Idea" is something to be applied
TO life, something to be used.
1dleneSS: In America, the people are
so busy that they have little time for
reverie, that fertile soil out of which
alone creative thought and expression
hover; in Ireland, men still take time
to play with their souls.
Individualism: In America, every
thing and everybody Is organized; types
and standardizations are the result; In
Ireland. there is not so sweeping an or
ganization Of life; there are few one
hundred per centers in Ireland; and, it
may be safely guessed. that Irishmen
Will strive to make ireland safe for oc-
casional renellions of the spirit against
the crowd patterns.
This Is rather drab capture OF a
radiant conversation, and hasten to
emphasize the twinkling eye that ac-
companied this analysis. Mr.. Russell Is
not the usual captious critic Of things
American; / have never met a Euro
pean more eager to sense the real soul
OF America but this whimsical COM
parison OF America and Ireland has
much to say to us.
