the pride Of every citizen and by flrst-
hand inspection to learn something Of
how the Government here functions.
The Board Of Trade does not intend
TO center its activity on booming" the
city in the usual sense, nor should Il.
One of the features of attraction 70 be
emphasized Is the unique location Of
the Capital within easy motoring dis
lance of famous historical points in
Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia.
An invitation TO visit washington nat
urally includes an opportunity to visit
many places nearby intimately asso-
ciated with the birth and the history
of the Nation.
The Board of Trade is depending
upon cooperation Of the railroads and
transportation companies in its cam
paign. It might count as much on the
cooperation that should willingly come
from the Federal Government. The
builders of Washington are doing more
than merely providing adequate hous-
ing for the Governments working force
or laying out parks and highways for
recreation. ut is our primary duty" as
President Hoover has said, ito do more
than erect Offices. We must flt that
program into the traditions and SYM
bolism of the Capital. Our forefathers
had a great vision for the Capital of
America, unique from its birth in its
inspired conception. fiexibility and Won
derful beauty. This is more than
merely the making of beautiful city.
Washington is not only the Nations
Capital; it is the symbol Of America"
In 1882 washington will throw wide
its doors and bid the Nation enter. The
invitation should reach everybody. The
symbol should be known.

Cuban Censorship.

The three most important Spanish
language newspapers OF Havana ana
other dailies, weeklies and magazines
of Cuba are maintaining the highest
traditions of journalism by choosing to
suspend publication rather than submit
to the censorship imposed by the CUBAN
government. Their heritage in free
country is freedom Of the press. Upon
its preservation depend not only their
lives and success as newspapers, but In
even larger measure the life and prog
ress of their country. AS newspapers
they are deserving Of high commenda-
ton: as patriots and citizens, they are
fulfilling an obligation.
As one of the measures OF precau-
ton" adopted by the Cuban government
during the present crisis the "suspen-
sion Of constitutional rights" ordained
by the Cuban Congress carried with IL
a censorship reputedly extending 70
press. cable, telegraph, telephone and
radio The viewpoint of the censorship
from the censored at least, is that 1t
prohibits the unbiased publication OF
local news relating to the economic and
nolitical problems of the republic. AS
the publication of such news would IN
vite government interference, the news
papers affected suspended publication.
Last Sunday they printed q combined
edition, presenting the latest world news
for the momentary enlightenment OF Q
supposedly free people plunged IN the
darkness that accompanies suspension
of the functions Of the press. Many
copies Of this joint-edition were sup
pressed By the government.
Cuba's problems are her own and the
hope Of her friends Is that she VIII Dc
able TO solve them without interference
from the outside. Censorship and with
draval Of the traditional privileges OF
the press are stumbling blocks along
the road to complete independence and
freedom Of thought and speech. They
,, must. and eventually they viii be, over
come. They are the obvious resort OF
the weak and the insecure. The dig
ntfied refusal Of the Cuban press TO
lend itself to such practices is healthy
sign. It promises more toward the
accomplishment Of real progress than
all the assuring government manHes-
toes that can be printed.

the bills ore put through, they must
also receive the approval II President
Hoover to become law or be passed over
his veto.

The administration program Of

gress is yet to be heard. It will be

ing message to Congress. Until It is
revealed, the country viii be in no
position to judge Of it. II the President
puts forward sound proposals that
could obtain majority Of the votes
in both houses of Congress, the insur-
gent Republicans and the Democrats
will gain no advantage in the country
by seeking to prevent action on these
measures, merely because they come
from the Republican administration.
Perhaps the Democratic leadership
will arrive ct some definite legislative
program by the opening Of the Congress
session, too. So far, the only concrete
proposals put forward by the Demo-
Gratis are for O flve-day work week, adj
vocated by Chairman Raskob Of the
Democratic National Committee as
means Of curing the unemployment Sit
uation, and q proposal made by former
Gov. James M. Cox Of Ohio, Democratic
candidate for President in 1920, to re-
peal the Smoot-Hawley tariff act i'm
mediately. The proposal Of Mr.. Ras-
kob carries with it the demand that
wages shall remain the same for the
flve-day work week as they stand at
present. Just what is going to happen
to productivity and the prices charged
for products under such changed con-
ditions remains to be explained. After
all, the producers must obtain sufficient
money from their products to continue
to pay the wages Of their employees.
