Worthwhile Comment
by Southern Newspaper

More and more public officials, civic
organizations and citizens generally
are paying more attention to trees and
other natural assets that add to the
beauty of urban centers. Certainly
no community has finer trees than
Mobile has, nor is there anything con-
neeted with the city's life that is more
attractive to strangers who visit
Mobile.
While it is proper to save these
trees when they can be saved the peo-
pie here also should pay more atten-
ton to planting trees. Some of the
older trees are dying out. Young trees
should be planted to take the place of
these when they can no longer hold
out against time and the elements.
Along many of the streets of Mobile,
and in some of the park areas there
are trees that will not last many more
years. Young trees should be coming
on to take the place of these old trees.
1t would not cost much and 1t certain
ly would be worth whlle.-Mobile

More Action, Buddy

We talk too much and do too little.
From the days when the expression,
'There oughtta be law" originated
on the Texas frontier, we have had
the notion that once we passed law
or even resolution, our problem was
solved ipso facto. Nowadays public
officials attach the same weight to
their own mere statements, and we
the people too often accept their valu-
alton. We might better use the words
of the movie director to posing
youth: "a little more action. Buddy ;
a little more action" And we might
apply the suggestion even to ourselves
In our efforts to improve our towns,
our societies, our churches, our schools,
not to speak of our personalities

DY A vote of 16 to 4 the senate for
- eign relations committee reported
the London naval treaty to the senate
for approval. Neither Chairman Borah
nor the warmest advocates Of the pac:
on the committee submitted any writ
ten report explaining and commend
ing 1t. The four who refused to recon-
mend its ratification were Johnson of
California. Moses of New Hampshire.
Robinson of Indiana and Shipstead Of
Minnesota.
President Hoover remained stead
fast in his intention Of calling an i'm
mediate special session Of the senate
to act on the treaty, although twenty
four senators signed round robin
petition asking him to abandon this
plan and allow consideration of the
pact to be postponed until after the
November elections. The protesting
solons declared they were worn out
with their public duties, the senate
having been in almost continuous ses-
sion since December, 1928, and that
many of them had been compelled to
neglect their private affairs.
Administration leaders are conf
dent the treaty will be ratified event
ually, but admit the controversy will
be long and bitter. The opposition
has prepared proposed reservations
which would include the following
declarations:
That the treaty involves no per-
manent surrender of the previously
claimed right Of the United States to
build as 1t pleases.
That under the so-called escape
clause" America can build whatever
type of ship it desires in the event Of
England or Japan building beyond the
treaty limits because of the copstruc-
ton programs of nations not sigma
tory to the pact.
That under the replacement clauses
Great Britain can replace her 6-inch
gun cruisers with ships of that
category.

Spreading Demand for
More Beautiful Roads


Strange things are happening to the
Great American Road.
For several years the American Civ
ic association has been giving prizes
for the most attractive, the most neat
ly kept wayside refreshment stands,
in an effort to improve the looks OF
the usual rickety food purveying
shacks of the Travelled highways.
In New Jersey they have passed a
law putting billboards under state con-
troll, charging tax on space used, and
reserving the right to bar excessively
unsightly structures.
And in New York Governor Roose-
welt has asked for an appropriation to
be used in setting out trees along high
ways in certain districts. He says:
"These paintings would be primarily
to demonstrate that the highways could
and should be made more slightly. An
increasingly large body Of public opin-
ion recognizes the beauty of tree-lined
highways, as well as their economic
value"
What the present concern with roads
really means is that America, after
spending its entire career to date get
ting ahead In the world, is setting it.
self in order for more civilized living.
