Treasury center. The adoption Of the
Mail-Avenue triangle project however,
relieved anxiety on this score and now
1t is assured that whatever may be
done west Of Seventeenth street in the
way Of building for Government use, the
space between the Capitol and the
Treasury will be utilized to the best
advantage for q construction scheme of
q monumental character.
1t Is further measuring to note that
in the preliminary sketch plan for the
placing Of the proposed War and Navy
buildings indications appear Of park
setting for these and other structures
that may be added to the group. These
constructions viii in general front upon
Potomac Park, the north flank Of which
Is now occupied by the temporary
structures known as the Munition
Buildings, occupied by the Navy De-
partment and in part by the War De-
partment. These will, Of course, be
removed, though constructed Of con-
crete in most durable manner, quite
inconsistent with their official character
~ temporary" structures.
Should this plan be followed and
carried into execution by the location
of the War and Navy buildings within
the area indicated, the semi-public
structures on Seventeenth street, the
Corcoran Gallery Of Art, the American
Red Cross Headquarters. the Daughters
Of the American Revolution Building and
the Pan-American Union, viii form q
most appropriate flank for the group.
Undoubtedly II there had been a broad
positive building placement project
thirty years ago this Seventeenth street
line fronting on the park south Of the
White House would have been devoted
to Government structures. The Cor.
coran Gallery Of .'rt was the first of
the four to be placed and when its
site was chosen there was no public
building program. Talk was heard of
the acquisition Of the Mall-Avenue tri-
angle, but without specific point or pur-
pose.
Fortunately all four Of these Seven
teenth street semi-public structures are
admirable examples of architecture. It
is to be deplored that they have been
staggered" In their placement. being
alternately set forward and back, thus
giving an uneven effect to the frontage
on the tour-block stretch to the park.
However, this is a minor consideration
in view Of the character of the build
ings themselves and the background
that, according to the present plan,
they will eventually have in the group
ing to the west of the series Of Govern
ment structures Of noble design.

Ratify the Treaty!

President Hoover has told Senator
watson, the Republican Senate leader.
that the administration desires action
on the London naval treaty before the
adjournment Of the present session Of
Congress. Senator Borah, chairman Of
the foreign relations committee, states
that there was a definite understanding
that such action would ensue, imme-
diately the pending hearings on the
treaty were ended.
The country will not be impressed
by arguments in favor Of postponing
ratification until Congress reconvenes in
December. Senator johnson, Republic
an, Of California, avowed opponent of
the treaty, contends that the Senate
docs not know enough about It," Con-
sidering that 1t has been the principal
news Of the world for the past four
months, that is q strange plea.
For the past two weeks the treaty has
been the major business in hand on
Capitol Hill. The hearings before the
foreign relations and naval affairs COM
mittees have given 1t the limelight and
the front page. There Is not vestige
Of 1t that has not come In for the
most critical and fnicroscopical exami-
nation. The Secretary Of State, the
Secretary Of the Navy and half dozen
admirals have elucidated the pact fore
and aft. Senator watson's plant that
If it were to be brought before the
Senate now. that body might be STAN
peded" into precipitate action, is very
tenuous and timorous fear.
II either It's avowed foes or luke
warm friends defect the Senate from
giving prompt attention to the London
treaty. the cause Of world peace, which
it Is intended to promote, win be the
distinct loser. Delay win afford arma-
ment-mongers and Hoover haters Q
breathing period in which 10 invent
fresh bogeys and objections. Admirals
who want national offense. instead Of
national defense, will have time to pick
additional flaws in the charter for
naval peace 30 laboriously worked out
at London. They will be able to cook
up new theories with which to scare
the American people into believing that
the Nations doom Is sealed unless
Uncle Sam has three or four more TO-
0o0-ton cruisers and eighteen or twenty
more s-inch guns.
The overwhelming bulk Of the coun-
try agrees with President Hoover and
the members of the American delega-
ton that the treaty assures the United
States a strong, an adequate, q well
balanced and an economical feet. It
agrees with them, too, that 1t Is the
best treaty obtainable at this time. It
does not agree with the pact's de-
In the Senate and IN the
Navy, that something Is to be gained
by letting the treaty be . political and
naval foot ball for the indefinite future.
Great Britain and Japan are waiting
for the United States to ratify the
treaty before they themselves act. That
Ia q not unreasonable attitude on their
part. for 1t was we who i1stigated the
