Survey of City.

Following a tour of the city this
morning in company with Iraftc DlreC-
tor w. H Harland and Capt. H. c.
WhitehurSt, co-ordinator and chief en-
gineer of the District during which a
survey was made of traffic conditions,
a special committee of the Washington
Board of Trade passed resolutions aim
ing at the acceleration of traffic past
street car leading platforms. which
they found to be the greatest single
cause for vehicular congestion in the
city.
The purpose of the trip was to work
out some detailed plan for the CO.
operation of the highway and traf1c
departments of the District.
The first resolution adopted would
generally prohibit parking opposite
AaASsaS platforms. but would admit OF
exceptions in particular >;aStancea
Recommend Traffic Lanes.
Next the Joint committee recommended
that traffic lanes be established be-
tween loading platforms and the curbS
and that all such platforms be removed
from the street intersections where
they are mostly located and placed In
the center of the blocks.
When It was pointed out that at
many places traffic is completely
stopped by buses taking on passengers
opposite car platforms it was advocated
that bus stops should not be located OPP
posite the platforms unless the BUSES
used the platforms to take on and dis
charge passengers. The last recon-
mendation made by the committee was
that the platform at De Sales street in
front of the Mayfower Hotel be re-
moved since it so narroWs the street
that motorists are greatly delayed

Harland, those who toured the city

They were taken to Thirteenth street,
where Capt Whitehurst pointed out
the difficulties of the proposed widen

feet to 70 feet. The committee was
shown that such an operation would
entail encroachment on the property
owners on either side.
The site of the proposed Michigan
avenue viaduct over the Baltimore &
Ohio Railroad tracks was also inspected
One of the projects deemed most
urgent by the committee was the widen
ing of H street between Fourth and

IMMIGRATION VOTE
WILL Be DELAYED
Hastings, Delaware, InjeCtS
New Element, Proposing
Greater Restrictions.

BY the Associated Press.
The contest for repeal of tho national
origins immigration quota basis was
carried on yesterday in the Senate by
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota, with prospects of vote going
over until tomorrow.
A new element was injected last
night in a compromise proposal by
Senator Hastings, Republican, of Della
ware, for even greater restriction. The
Delaware Senator advocates the choice
Of the lesser of the two quotas for each
country as provided by the present
basis and the national origins method.
Interest remained conferred on the
national origins issue, however, and
both sides still claimed victory.
Under the Hastings amendment. an
nual immigration would be cut about
10000 as compared to 10000 now
and $4,000 under the national origins
provision, which goes into effect July /.
England would be kept on its present
quota basis of 34,007, because it is
smaller than the 65,721 it would be al

lowed under national origins. Germany
would be given the quota of 25,957 pro-
vided by the national origins basis, be-
cause it is less than the amount it now
gets-51.2 27.
Senator Reed. Republican, of Penn
sylvania, who is opposing the recon-
mendation of President Hoover for re-
peal of national origins. announced he
would persist against repeal of that pro-
vision and did not intend to consider
any compromise, although he was ia
vorable to greater restriction, until that
issue had been settled.

GEORGE WASHINGTON

Tomorrow marks the one hundred ninty-seventh birth
dav of our nations first great citizen, George Washington.
The handsome. classic features of this great man, SO
widely employed to lend tone and dignity to instruments and
documents of national significance such as postage stamps,
paper money and the like have had a tendency to make our
first president the formal hgurehead of the nation.
This tendency, while it has served to perpetuate his
memory and to command reverence toward H. mas a!so sefv-
ed to make him an impersonal figure to be regarded IN much
the same light that we regard the figure of the statue OF lib
erty.
This should not be the case, for Washington IS one OF
The greatest and most human figures among the country $
great men. :,
He was a plain Virginia planter whose true elements OF
greatness were not so much due to brllllance and scholarly at,
tainments as to his sound common sense MS sincerity ana
rugged Christian character.
He was in no sense a politician and yet he was made
commande~-in- chief of the Continental army and president
of the United States when political chicanery were running
riot. His was a greatness that could not be hid.
He could easily have perpetuated his tenure OF office as
president. but put country above self and his decision that
two te,ms of the presidency were sufficient has established
.. hat has come to be recognized as one OF the
sulest safeguards to popular government.
He dared to face violent popular %disapproval and keep
this country out of foreign entanglements. The wisdom OF
this policy has been proven countless times since and has
guided this country from many a dangerous pitfal.
He was one OF the trainers OF the constitution and his
personality is reflected in every one of those original pro-
visions that form the foundation on which our country rests.
Such a man was of necessity Of dignihed mean and
bearing, but that does not mean that he was not a man
among men. On the contrary, his was the open, hospitable
nature Of a Virginia planter. Mount Vernon, his home, and
Alexandria, his home town are rich in associations that re-
fleet his active participation in church, social and fraternal
activities Of the community.
In nm the country has a cornerstone that can hardly
be improved upon. The more one studies the early history
OF TINS country, the more one is impressed with the belief
that George Washington was an instrument Of Providence
IN the founding of this country.
