tionAl or trade schools are OF chief
benefit in placing those students who
show no aptitude for mental work. Be-
tween this view and that held by the
union there should be feasible ccm-
promise, enabling the vocational edu-
cation schools to attain q distinct status
that will make them Of real value to
youth, as well as to the employers, In
Washington.
Success of vocational training In other
cities has depended upon the co-opera-
ton of employers. Students have been
given exceptional opportunity to divide
their time between work and school,
learning theory In the class room and
putting 1t into practice on the Job. The
Board of Education's newly appointed
advisory committee is to seek this CO.
operation from employers and from the
labor unions. A systematic schedule of
employment, the committee hopes, will
be arranged for vocational students,
thus permitting practical instruction
along with technical training and paw
ing the way for employment after grad
uation.
Vocational training Is a relatively
new field for public education In WASH
ington. Failure of the schools here to
develop as rapidly as could be hoped is
probably due to the fact that the trade
schools have been regarded more or less
as red-headed orphans who would sink
or swim by themselves. But they need
help, probably more help than any
other unit OF the system.

Godsneed TO the Delegates.

In his message to the country in the
form Of talk to the newspaper men at
the executive Offices following breakfast
with the American Naval Conference
delegates yesterday morning, President
Hoover has for the whole Nation bid
Godspeed to the representatives of the
United States who are about to leave
for London. He bespeaks for the con-
ference The patience and encouragement
of the people of America. He asks that
they refrain from criticism during the
course Of the momentous deliberations
at the British capital, where will soon
gather representatives of the powers
seeking a practical and an enduring
agreement for the lessening of the
chances of war and for the tightening
THE difficulties of finding a basis
that will be acceptable to i've different
nations are great" says the President
'but they are not insuperable." He in
dicates that the conference may be pro-
tracted, that to complete it within three
or four months will be in itself great
accomplishment. This Is why he asks
for patience, for tolerant waiting on the
part Of the people. These great inter-
national meetings are not affairs that
can be hurried. The issues are too
great, too important, too complex for
hasty consideration and conclusion.
The peace of the world is involved, not
for Q year or q decade, but perhaps for
an indefinite stretch Of time. Surely
such q work is worth being done well.
even though 1t takes months to reach
results.
Criticism, skepticism, il-informed
challenging Of motives and Of aims on
the part Of other powers and Of stupid
ity and blindness and weakness on the
part Of the United States will be heard
as the weeks pass and the London Con-
ference proceeds. Some Of this criti-
cism viii be mischievous, inspired by
wish for the failure of the conference.
Some of 1t viii be short-minded,
prompted by fears and lack Of conf
dence in the sagacity and the loyalty Of
the American delegates. But such ex-
pressions should not and probably viii
not affect the public mind and tudg-
ment In this country.
The President has selected an able
delegation to represent the United
States at this nonentous meeting.
Headed by the Secretary Of State, it In
cludes the Secretary of the Navy, the
Ambassadors to Great Britain, to Bel
GUM and to Mexzco, and two members
of the Senate. Both in point Of posi-
ton and of personal character and ca
pacity, this is an exceptionally strong
representation. 1t viii command the
respect Of the conference and it should
and doubtless will command the conn.,
dence Of the American people.

A Voice From the Wilderness.

The startling problem presents itself
as one upon which all possible light
should be shed. For that reason The
Star presents herewith the text of q
communication received by the wash
ington Board Of Trade from a sympa.
thetic gentleman in Hillburn, Rock
land County, New York. Attaching a
clipping to his letter, the clipping being
from the New York Sun, which devoted
some space to O discussion Of the Capt.
tails plight, the correspondent writes:
Dear Sirs: Try few Roman candles
About an hour after dark. It worked
1000 for us.
Now that. 1t would seem, is no mean
suggestion. 1t has a positive ring to 1t
that builds confidence. 1T worked 100
for u.s." says the writer. And If 1t
worked 100 per cent for Hillburn, might
it not work ut least IS per cent for
washington? OF course Hillburn's prob
lem Is not TO be compared TO Washing
ton's-that is, loosely compared. Hill

bucket, as it were, compared to our
own. Here in Warrington we have one
Of the finest, one Of the most intricate,
one of the most engrossing starting
problems Of any city in the country and
we are proud Of It.
But what Is good for Hillburn should
be good enough for us. Why restrict
Roman candles to the Fourth Of July?
There is certainly q striking symbolism
In shooting on fireworks. It connotes
independence. And what is more TO
be desired, now, than independence
from the starlings?

and let the sycamores alone. Ex-
tinguish your stinkpots. Messrs. Com

out the Roman candle brigade! Let
them hold their fire until they see the
whites Of the stariings' eyes, then let
every man light his fuse and remember
the Alamo!

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS

London. The ban on importations OF
the English edition was cited In the
Senate debate as q shining example OF
stupid and ridiculous bureaucratic CEN
sorship by customs offcials. The fact
is that the copyright laws, and not the
obscenity section Of the existing tarin
law, bar importation OF the English edl-
ton. It is unlawful by the terms of the
copyright law to import books which
are both copyrighted and published in
the United States. When the adver-
tised deletions in the American edition
of "All Quiet on the Western Front"
stimulated an abnormal demand here
for copies of the English edition. the
American publisher protested to the
customs oficials TO enforce the copy
right prohibition and to protect the

An Armory for the Guard.

A bill has been introduced In the
House Of Representatives for the crea-
! ton of q commission of three members
to take over and remodel the Washing
ton Auditorium for use as Q National
Guard armory and for patriotic as
semblages and meetings. The sum of
81 900 900 is authorized for appropria-
ton to meet the cost of purchase and
alterations.
This may be solution to the prob
lem of providing proper quarters for
the District National, Guard. Again, it
may be better to wait for the erection
of a building specifically designed for
that purpose. First thought on the
subject is perhaps that the Auditorium,
now in existence. viii, with some
changes, provide as well for the Guard
as a new structure definitely planned
as an armory. Second thought is that
the Guard has had a long experience
with remodeled and transformed pri-
vately owned buildings, without finding
any of them suitable.
1t is not essential that the National
Guard armory, If a new structure Is
created for that use, should be of q
monumental character in design or in
location. It does not have to be one of
the show buildings" Of the Capital, az
the armories In smaller and less pro-
fusely adorned cities than Washington
usually are. Time was when the Guard
headquarters figured prominently In
plans drawn for the utilization of the
Mall-Avenue triangle for public build
ing constructions. But the Government
is proceeding with the ALLEGATION Of
sites In that area for its own depart
mental structures, and there Is appar-
emily no space in reserve for this use.
The chief desideratum for the Guard
is that its home should be well located
for convenience and should be capacious
enough to accommodate all the present
units OF the organization and all con-
ceivable future units In the course Of
normal growth and development. II
should be 80 arranged q to permit the
assembling OF the entire force under
che roof, on q single expanse Of floor.
There should be spaces for the head
quarters Of each unit and for the gen.
eral headquarters. The armory should
be q complete and self-contained home
for Washingtons citizen soldiery, and
at the same time afford an indoor area
suitable for great gatherings Of q pub
lie character.
It may be that upon careful consid-
Grafton the building now standing will
be found TO offer all these features and
that It's acquisition and transformation
win best meet the requirements. But
II not. If there remains after the fullest
inquiry any doubt on this score, the
pending bill should be amended to pro-
vide for the purchase of site and the
preparation Of plans for Q newly built
armory, to be erected with the least
possible delay.

Those who do not talk readily with
strangers often do so easily enough with
those they know well.
Sometimes it is the other way around.
Those who seem to be at home with
strangers fail to make good, In con-

comes striding home at dewy eve fully

Hindu Dream of independence
Held Impractical by Press

"Gandhi now believes that the chances
Of dominion status look pretty good,
and In order 70 make IL certain, he, Is
many politicians would, is asking for
more than he expects to get. Hence his
advocacy Of complete separation from
the British Empire"
The Flint Daily Journal points out
that midas leaders, educated abroad
for the most part, are imbued with
Western civilized ways, which are be-
yond the capacity of the common
people. India as q country still has
long way to 60 before it is. capable OF
self-government."
The problem Of British officials Is set
forth by the Cleveland Plain Dealer
with the statement: The Labor govern
ment, which is not particularly inter
ested in Indian affairs, Is destined to
be confronted by the most dimcult
government since the end of the World
War. Highly peaceful, Mr.. Macdonald
will do almost anything to appease the
separatists before the brickbats begin
to fly and the guns begin to sputter.
He will do almost anything, but he will
not actually retire under fire.
The force Of the revolution" thinks
the Providence Bulletin, has been
somewhat weakened by the splendid
work Viceroy Irwin is doing. That
British craftsmanship is faced with a
tough problem to settle is, apparent.
But British craftsmanship has been
meeting similar situations In its long
history and can be depended upon, as
in so many other instances, to handle
this one with sound common sense"
Possibilities Of compromise between
the present British government and the
dominant forces in India are suggested
by the Raleigh News and Observer. the
St Louis Post-Dispatch and the New
York Evening World. The essential
weakness Of the anti-industrial move
ment among the leaders in India is en-
phasized by the Baltimore Evening Sun
and the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
Conceding that the resistance of the
Indian National Council is "passive In
form but revolutionary in object" the
Richmond News Leader points out that
Gandh "can exhort and unity Hindus
and, spiritually. he Is magnificent. but
he Is not qualified to lead q political
revolution" The seriousness of the sit
uation Is observed by the Savannah
Fress, the Syracuse Herald and the ST.
Paul Pioneer Press.
The only base upon which self-gov-
eminent can be erected" maintains the
New York Herald Tribune, still re-
mains the vast multitude of peasantry,
ignorant, poverty-stricken and politi-
cally inert. The only remaining cues
ton, and one as yet largely unanswered,

OF educated nationalists actually exerts
over the great masses Of India"

Vocational Schools.

The Central Labor Union has per-
formed a service of merit In directing
public attention to the inadequacy Of
the public school systems equipment
and courses in vocational education.
The unions indictment of vocational
education in the public schools, In
which 1t is charged that the schools
themselves are a disgrace to the Ma
tional Capital" and that this city Is
far behind others in formulating pro-
gram for trade education, has already
borne fruit in the appointment by the
Board of Education Of q special ad-
visory committee. This representative
group. under the leadership Of John B.
Colpoys, has undertaken a preliminary
study Of conditions here that will no
doubt lead to the desired improvement.
The task Of this committee, however,
is neither simple nor easy. Lack OF
interest IN the vocational schools, lack
of familiarity with their problem and
Jack of appropriations are chiefly to be
blamed for the state Of affairs so
severely criticized by the Central Iabor
Union. Interest can no doubt be re-
vived and appropriations secured. but
there FIRST must be formulated definite
program for trade education as well as
q decision as to the exact function that
these schools are to perform.
In the latter problem there lies nut
that will not be easy to crack. There
Is q divergence of opinion concerning
the fundamental purpose Of the trade
schools. The labor union wants 1t clear
~ understood that they should not be
regarded in any sense as q dumping
ground for those pupils who are in
capable of meeting required scholastic
standards: who, having failed to master

policy the rule Of good, well cut and
varied clothing for good men.
Whether Gen. Summerall and other
proponents of the resumption OF the
blue will be able to gain their point, In
view of the current policy Of cutting
down Army costs, remains to be seen.
The Bureau of the Budget more than
two years ago put a temporary quietus
on the idea because the re-equipment
Of the Army would cost more than was
felt was warranted at that time. How
ever, some day some oficial or group
of oficials will put 1t over. and the
sooner the better fol. all concerned.
This is not the first time that this
and other newspapers have advocated
the desired resumption. AS long ago as
February, 1928, following publicity on
this matter, a naval oficer wrote in
to The Star as follows: "On dress
occasions we of the Navy hate to see
the Army 50 completely outclassed when
they arrive In the same kind of uniform
they wear on the drill field. However,
If such a uniform is to be made 'regu-
lation' for all officers instead Of just
White House aides, Uncle Sam should
supply the funds" Perhaps he is right,
though that is not the main question.
The blue dress uniform of our en-
listed man is about the plainest possible
garb that could be devised and still be
styled dress" With the exception Of
a bit of stripping here and of piping
there, it is almost the equivalent of the
fatigue and fighting garb Of . few
decades since. 1t would be deemed
entirely too plain by the average for
eisn government. Its contrasting color,
however, renders 1t as highly desirable
as 1t is thereby different. For the Army
alone of our three armed branches to be
deprived thereof is an inexplicable
inconsistency and slur on good men.
