one of the outstanding golfers is doing
the same sort of writing on golf that
Tilden is not permitted to do on tennis.
Certainly, If a man writing tennis ar
ticleS in the newspapers is banned from
play the same silly rule should apply to
a man writing golf, particularly so as
the two sport organizations work so
closely together that even though Miss
Browne never accepted cent in her life
for playing golf she was ranked as a
professional because she had done so
tor playing tennis.
1t is the public after all that sup
ports both golf end tennis and it would
appear that a wise move on the part
of the associations would be to sweep
technicalities aside and put on the best
show possible. With Tilden playing IN
the forthcoming Davis Cup matches 1t
is highly probable that the United
States would regain the trophy. With
out him the chances are slim 1t is
obvious, therefore, that national pride
comes after the enforcing of unrea-
sonable rules with the tennis aSsocia-
ton, situation that assuredly should
not be permitted to continue.

Doyle from his views. They continued
TO be voiced with profundity of con-
viction that almost disarmed disbelief.
When the World War robbed him of

in unbroken communication.
MY father fully believed" said a
surviving son of the departed author in
London yesterday, that when be passed
over he would continue to keep in touch
with us. All his family believed so, too"
So the sublime and compelling faith
which filled Conan Doyle lives on

restrial scene. A universe of skeptics

dogma, but the world will not soon for

British Labor's Crisis.

The British Labor Party is due for
another crucial trial of strength in the
House of Commons today. Virtually
for the first time since Prime Minister
Macdonald took office in June, 1929, he
finds himself pressed-and oppressed
from two sides. MIR. Baldwins Con-
servatives are bent on the adoption of
a vote of censure against the govern
ment on account of its tariff policy. Mr..
Lloyd Georges little baud of willful
men''-fifty-eigh all-potent Liberals
have rod in pickle for the Labor min
istry with reference to income tax re-
vision.
While this mornings London dis
patches suggest that the resourceful
Macdonald may again wriggle out of
his difficulties and save the Labor
ministry, the apparent revolt of the
Lloyd George cohorts is ominously sig
nificant. Labor holds Office, as mi
nority government, purely through the
good will and fealty of the Liberal bal
-powerites. Their support once
withdrawn, Labor, with its 189 seats,
could not stand against the Conserva-
tives with their 260 votes.
Mr.. Lloyd George, seemingly acting
off his own bat and without any spe-
cific mandate from his party group, de-
cided to press an amendment to the
finance bill which would have the
effect of relieving business corporations
from income taxes on profits when
these are spent on extension or recon-
ditioning of plant. The Conservatives,
representing for the most part British
big business, would almost certainly
and naturally support such an amend
ment. A combined Baldwin-Illoyd
George drive against Macdonald would
give Labor the happy dispatch. Mac
Donald has suffered two or three adj
verse votes before, but they concerned
minor matters. He said in advance
that the government would not resign
if they went against it. But Lloyd
Georges amendment could not be con-
strued as a minor matter.
1t has always been feared that the
Damocletian sword hanging over the
Labor minority would descend upon its
neck soon after the London Naval Con-
ference. Partisanship in Britain was
adjourned while Mr.. Macdonald was
negotiating a limitation treaty, which
all parties favor. The hour may now
have arrived when Labor's foes think
it timely to reconsign it to the great
outside.

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

with a plan to bring about greater CO.
ordination of American diplomatic and
naval activities. Walter Bruce Howe
chairman of the board, announces;
THE Navy League will henceforth ad-
vocate close and constant consultation
between an especially qualified group OF
officials to be created in the State De-
partment and a similar group in the
Navy Department. Thus the President
may in future receive the co-ordinated
advice of those departments on the
many problems which currently concern
both departments. This would be a re-
suit not hitherto achieved, and which
should be assured long before the coun-
try enters the next naval conference. II
The State Department "admirals" got
badly on the nerves of the professional
sailors at London. Even the fact that
one OF StimSon'S aides III chief was a
Mariner didn't seem to help matters.

Pan-America Society's dinner to Presi-
dent-elect PresteS of Brazil in New
York on June IT. Warren Delano Rob-

at the dinner, was called upon by the
600-odd guests to toast DR.. PresteS in

The Brazilian Ambassador to the United

President Hoover'S health in coffee,
while the banquet company slipped and
cheered.

Protest Against Three
Day Mail StOppage

To the Editor OF The Star:
I wish to voice emphatic protest
against any repetition of the experience
through which the people Of this Dis
trict have just passed with respect to
the delivery of mail. The service, so far
as private residences are concerned, was
completely suspended from Thursday
afternoon to Monday noon, the hour at
which the carrier arrived at my home
with more mail than he could we'll
carry. OF course, the Fourth of July
holiday interviewed. Then Saturday
was made a special holiday by act of
Congress, and Sunday followed, when
delivery of mail is always suspended.
Hiding behind this accumulation of
quit and left the public helpless.
am wondering whether our good
postmaster delivered mail at the White
House. at the legations, and to various
officials of the Government during this
long period of holidays. I wonder If
the postmaster himself refrained from
receiving any mail for the three days of
this suspension.
Now, there is no eXcuse-valid excuse
for submitting the people of our city
to any such suspension of an established
public service. The street cars and the
bus lines did not suspend, when they
might have done so with as good rea-
son. The newspapers did not suspend,
the public carriers of the country did
not suspend. The city police did not
knock off and take three days holiday
Why not as well as the letter carriers?
The point make is that the letter
carrier service is a public service and
should not be interrupted in this way.
1t would not be, except through official
indifference. 1 am not advocating that
the carriers should not have had some
time off during this period. But see
no reason why mail should not have
been delivered on Saturday morning, at
least. That would have relieved the
situation considerably.
The people of the District ought to
make 1t very clear to our officials that
this sort OF thing must not be repeated.
The thing was silly in conception and
reprehensible in execution, and our on
Gals, in my opinion, ought to be made
to realize that such action on the part
OF our post Office does not set well
upon the good graces of the community.
j. G. RANSOM.
