labor there my have convenient access.
It matters little to the Library of
Congress, DR.. Putnam said, whether
jurisdiction over the Shakespeare COL
lection remains in Mr.. Folger,s hands
or whether he asks the Government to
take it in charge.
What is of primary Importance" he
pointed out, 'is that this collection will
be available to the serious public, and
that in its service to scholarship it will
be linked to. the national library"
WHAT men Of vision see on Capitol
Hill is a settlement whose purpose
and organization will correspond to the
European centers of learning, such as
flourished at Padua, Praga and Venice
during the medieval period, where no
art will be forgotten, no science barred,
no hate instilled; where learning and
the pure love of it may be planted and
cultivated; where shrines and memo
rails and collections may rise in such
dazzling number as to inspire grave
humility. These things will come to
Capitol Hill, they say.
Examining Mr.. Eolgers Shakespeare
collection, we find, first, that it COM
prises some $4,000 volumes, for it in
cludeS not only editions of Shakespeare
and commentaries, but large repre-
sentation Of Elizabethan contemporaries.
1t holds 80 copies, one-sixth of the
number of the first folio.
When Shakespeare's greatest fame
came from Venus and Adonis" and his
livelihood from acting he published a
limited edition of Titus Andronicus" in
quarto form. For three centuries it was
a lost book. Then the only known copy
was discovered in Sweden. But now it
is owned by Mr.. Folger.
Venus and Adonis,'' the FIRST heir
of my invention "-Shakespeare'S first
printed work-was published in 1893
The only known copy of that first
quarto edition belongs to oxford Uni
versity and will never be for sale. But
Folger owns one of four known copies
of the second quarto edition, published
in 1894.
And so on. Mere recitation of what
this treasure embraces would fill a
volume or more. The Folger shrine,
rising from the summit of Americas
Capitol, will be magnet for English
men and all other foreigners who I'M

600, the income from which is to serve
as honorarium for the chief of the
manuscripts division. The Carnegie
Corporation provided likewise for the
chief of the division of prints.
The American Council of Learned
Societies fathers a movement to make
Capitol Hill the geographic center of
American culture. The project may
fulfill dreams of Jefferson and Wash
ington, who spoke for and contributed
to a governmental institution like
university.
When, only last year. Congress an
nounced its intention to purchase two
solid blocks of property to the rear OF
the Library of Congress to provide for
further expansion, Henry c. Folger, for
mer chairman of the board of directors,
Of New York, surprised Congress with
his plan to erect a shrine to Shake
speare, fronting on East Capitol street
and extending back to the center Of the
square. immediately the congressional
bill was amended to make way for this
suspicious accession. Congress conceded
Mr. Folger's right to acquire this land
for building designed not only as
memorial but to house the worlds most
complete, if not most valuable, collec-
ton of Shakespeariana.
Aside from mere physical addition Of
this property and priceless books, the
ideal philosophy behind the announce
ment is its most sensational quality. To
the front of Folger'S memorial will be
the Capitol Building and the new Su-
preme Court, while thanking 1t on every
side will be the old and new Library Of
Congress. So that here, in the shadow
of the Nations legislative and judicial
halls, Will Shakespeare, poet, actor and
dramatist, shall hold forth in such
splendor that only Stratford-on-Avon
will surpass it. --t
Since when has this become cardi-
nal principle of American life? Since
when has Congress changed the reading
of bill in order to provide for a mere
poet? It is only in the present. Hith-
erto we have made room only for
practical buildings, structures in which
to study and produce. Now the national
legislature begins to take cognizance Of
edifices whose only purpose is the wor-
ship of an ideal, whose earnings and
profits can never be calculated In gold,
because the commodity on tap is mere
admiration, and that dispensed free.
It also marks the first time that
group of American public structures
will enhance building devoted exclu-
sively to q writer. Withal, such writer
as performed more human service than
a thousand kings.
This development will mark the SUBJ
stantial nucleus of a center Of learning
that has no counterpart in the Western
world and but feeble manifestation in

so far as counting ourselves as pros
pective purchasers of fine, large collec-
tons, we must not hold too high hopes.
One wealthy Californian has paid more
for his private collection than the Gov
eminent has invested in the Library of
Congress. Fancy me going before Con-
gress and asking for money to pur-
chase collections on which we might
bid! Congress is glad to do what it
can, but as the burden increases private
capital must join.
Concerning these valuable books,
there is one pleasant speculation,
namely, that eventually many of them
will revert to the Library of Congress.
Collectors, like other men, are mortal,
When they will their books it is to some
responsible party. Here they have eyery
assurance that provisions in a beouest

who prizes that book and possesses

find common home
HAS 1t ever occurred to me that
there Is an end to all these accessions?
Yes. But do not fear it, With mod
ern construction methods it is possible
to erect a orie-block building to house
100, 900, 900 books. There are libraries
In the world more than five centuries

slow and still are slow compared with
the immense output of presses.
Here the Library of Congress out
strips them all in its rate of adding to
collections. Each year some 10000

5000, 900 mark is not far off. Our news
paper stacks already accommodate 49,
600 volumes"
The librarian of Congress went on to
tell how, since 1925, when Congress
authorized the trust fund board, the
library has been enriched with numer-
GUS valuable requests and donations.
The board carries perpetual succession,
with the usual powers and obligations
of q trustee. 1t may be sued in the
Supreme Court Of the District of CO.
lumbia for the purpose of enforcing
provisions of any trust it holds.
Before that authorization the libra
rian faced hardship when it came to
accepting gifts and inheritances. The
library was not corporation, hence not
licensed to fulfill the Office of trustee.
Under provisions of the act the Library
has been endowed with chairs of fine
arts. American history and music.
In the Fall of 1924, before passage of
the act, Mrs Frederic Coolidge came
forward with two offers-endowmen
of the division of music and erection of
a music hall. Congress accepted imme-
diately. Now the Library owns model
music hall and pipe organ valued at
$4,000. Her endowment applies also
w tllc CIllc1 VI tIllo uIF1oIOn. LII dUOl-
ton to the salary given by the Govern
ment, he is authorized to accept a $4,000
honorarium each year.
Immediate benefits of this provision
are too numerous to mention. Time
alone will tell what ultimate benefits
will be. Suffice that in the amazingly
short space of three years the Library
of Congress has leaped into an enviable
position among endowed institutions.
Specific sums pay regular allowances,
which perpetuate the good work.
After the endowment plan had been
announced James B. Wilbur donated the
first 100000, and r. r. Bowker came
forward with $4,000, and Mrs. Frederic
Coolidge provided for the maintenance

Congress actually was relying on pri-
vate enterprise to further work that is
distinctly a governmental duty. Con-
gress subscribed to the Jeffersonian doc
trine that it is as vital to nourish a
peoples cultural tastes as to build dams
and select the best grass seed for golf
courses. While the national legislature
has persistently refrained from taking
part in a development of fine arts and
fathering academies of design, music
painting and sculpture, 1t has by recent
acts acquired an attitude that Is most
favorable to the aesthetic.

.DEDENTURES IN
SENATE'S BILL
Committee Votes Fake
Relief Measure

WASHINGTON, April 22.-Three
republicans, wheat belt senators,
bolted the party lines on the deben-
ture farm relief plan today, en-
abling the senate agricultural COM
mittee to include the plan assailed
by President Hoover in the admin
istration farm bill to be presented
to the senate.
Norris of Nebraska, who sup
ported Governor Smith, the demo-
cratic presidential candidate, and
Frazier of North Dakota with Nor
beck of South Dakota, who has sup
ported Mr.. Hoover, cast their votes
on the anti-administration side.
Their votes made it s to 6 in the
committee in favor of the debenture
scheme.
Democrats on the committee split,
two voting with Mr.. Hoover and
four against.
In view of the delay encountered
in the agriculture committee by
Hoover's letter, strongly attacking
the debenture plan, the senate held
but a brief session today.
The house laid aside its admins
tration farm bill temporarily so
Representative Garner, the demo-
cratic leader, could make an attack
on the republican system of tariff
making.
Garner asserted there were leaks
from the committee. He said he
had heard the sugar rate had been
set at three cents, and asked if it
was true. No one answered him.
This is valuable information for
those playing the stock market.
Representative Jones, democrat,
Texas, issued statement charac-
terizing President Hoover's letter to
Senator McNary as "wholly theoret-
ical for every objection he made to
the debenture plan applies with
equal force to any tariff system.
"The debenture plan merely COM
plements the tariff" said Jones,
thus admitting the charges made
that it is in no wise q
farm relief measure.

LABOR DEFENSE
FORMS BRANCHES
In STRIKE AREA
2 Fined for "Trespass
on Public Highway"
Many Other Cases
Assist Strike
Thousands of Dollars
Needed for Bonds

GASTONIA, N. c., April o.
Considerable progress has already
been made in the formation of
the International Labor Defense
among the textile strikers here. Karl
Reeve southern representative of
the LID. has addressed several
meetings where he impressed upon
the workers the necessity of build
ing up defense organizations to
fight against the strikebreaking
attacks of the capitalist courts.
Cases on Trial
The cases of L. Miller and w.
Barrett, two Bessemer City strikers,
were tried here today before Magis-
trate Craig. Both were fined $40 and
costs for "trespassing on the public
highway" They had been picket
ing. The LID. has appealed both
cases.
The case of Panken, and another
striker, who has been framed on
bad check charge, is also sched-
uled to come up today, as is the case
of G. Grahill, who is charged with
carrying concealed weap.ns.
Tom P. Unison, of Charlotte, is
the LID. attorney in all these cases.
Defense Funds Needed
A bail fund of $4,000 has already
arrived here from the national office
of the International Labor Defense
in New York City. Ellen Dawson,
organizer for the National Textile
Workers Union, was bailed out on
$4,000 out of this fund. An addi-
tional $4,000 is reported on the way.
Thousands of dollars are, however,
necessary. The new wave of terror
against the strikers makes immedi-
ate defense funds critically urgent.
They should be rushed to the ma
tional office of the LID, 80 East
11th ST., room 402, New York City.
