TO OPEN.
PLAYGROUND

Anticipating renewal of the
fight begun by residents Of North
Cleveland Park several months
ago over the question Of opening
a playground adjacent to the
John Eaton School, District play
ground officials today announced
that the playground would be
opened within a week. ...
The school property, located at
Thirty-fourth and Macomb Streets
Northwest, was under fire at con-
gressional hearings as citizens of
the neighborhood protested its
use for a playground. 1t was
argued that land in the North
Cleveland Park section would
depreciate in value.
Miss Sibyl Baker, newly-ap-
pointed director of Fairgrounds,
announced today that the play.
ground would be opened as soon
as equipment was installed. The
playground official also an
I1ounced that another playground
would be opened shortly on the
ground reserved for new voca-
tional school on Potomac Avenue
Southeast.

things that really mean some
thing to the world-none at all.
Additions to List
Codeine and heroin are put
on the list of dangerous drugs
and all other new drugs not yet
in existence must be proved safe
before they are pronounced
harmless. These two things the
conference accomplished.
But the two changes in the
new draft which was signed in
place OF the old one may urn
codeine and heroin into very
harmful things indeed.
The plan to destroy all seizures
Of dope taken in the underworld
went through with a whiz when
the first convention was drafted.
But when it came to putting the
thing through by vote and sign
ing the convention, Sir Malcolm
Delevingne, representative Of Great
Britain, and the delegate from the
Argentine slipped into the new
draft an idea that threw out the
old one of destroying contraband
opium, cocaine, morphne and
heroin wherever. however, and
whenever it was seized by au-
thorities.
American Backs Down
John Caldwell. American dele
gate who put in the American
paragraph about destruction OF
dangerous drugs, was not one
whit exc'I-' when Sir Malcolm
knocked over the Americans
poor little house of cards.
With one single cackle OF
falSetto laughter, Delevingne
broke down the American resist
ance. Caldwell backed down.
We might as well face the
truth about it. America went
to the conference with flags fly
ing, bands playing, and sneaked
home in the dark.
# the League of Nations did
this to America in q question
that involves nothing but a
straight case Of right and wrong
what will it do to us when we
go abroad to talk about disarma-
ment, for instance?

CAPITAL SEEKS
/ TYPO MEET

The annual convention Of In
ternational Typographical Union
may come to Washington in 1882,
the bicentennial year.
Under the leadership of Public
Printer George H. Carter and
Clyde M. Mills, president Of Co
lumbia Union No. 101, a cam
pafgn to obtain the conclave for
the Capital will reach a climax
when the 1891 convention meets
in Boston next September.
Mr.. Carter will offer the prin-
ters the free use of Harding Hall,
in the Government Printing Of
flee, and will cite the advantage
of holding the convention in the
midst of the festivities of the
bicentennial.
The convention would bring
about 900 delegates and, an at
tendance of more than 1000. The
only formidable rival Washing
ton has is Long Beach. Calf.
Washington has not been host to
the typographical convention since
1903.

State Department Studies Docu

ter in Venezuela are again engaging
State Department attentions.
The department announced recently
INSTRUMENTATION Of justice despite
charges by Welch that Venezuela
authorities had prevented him from OBJ

It cannot be accepted at the same time
that the French and German leaders
always are going to rhapsodi2e about
the beauties Of friendship. The portal
OF actual negotiations must be entered
some time, and the matters of disarna-
ment, reparations and credits to Ger
many and the Austro- German customs
loom large as points of discussion when
the French visit Berlin.
A report already has been published
here, in fact, that the French and Ger
mans agree upon terms considerably
liberalizing German rights TO armament
under the treaty of Versailles, but this
Is so alien TO present circumstances as
to be fantastic. Whatever the terms Of
concrete discussion may be at the Ber-
lin meeting, 1t is taken for granted that
the Germans viii seek to force the issue
at the Geneva Disarmament Confer
ence in February.
Little Discussion of Pact.
Significant In this connection is the
belief that an agreement actually was
reached In the meeting OF Bruening

the Prussian Diet. which is the
present political focus in Germany, will
be reelected and there is q possibility
Of general elections In Great Britain.
Such being the outlook, there has been
q good deal Of gossip about the POSSIBLE
ity Of once more pos5poning this already
oft-postponed conference, whose actual
date was finally fxed with such great
difficulty, Powers which might object
TO such postponerent are Germany,
Russia, and perhaps italy, all Of which
from the conference, whether 1t fails
or succeeds.
Diplomats Dismayed.
There Is reason to believe that the
United States, Great Britain and France
might nil like to see this mighty con-
course Of some as or so nations held
over until a more propitious moment yet
none seems ready e take the initiative
for such a proposal lest it be immedi-
ately charged with trying to obstruct
the march OF world peace.
When 1t Is realized that after several
years Of negotiation ut Geneva. there
is still not even an agreement on how
to solve the complex problem of COM
pairing the ornaments of one country
with the ornaments of another, not TO
mention the formidable problems OF fix
ing the ratios Of one ccuntry's arma-
nnents to the ornaments Of all the
others. the dismay of earnest students
and diplomats. as the date OF the con-
ference actually approaches, seems read
lily comprehensive
Meanwhile the tendency Is rather to
increase than to diminish armaments.
so that each country may enter the
negotiations with the strongest possible
showing and. in case cuts are decide
on, each could reluctantly sacrifice
something It never really set much store
by anyway.

1t is considered odd that 30 little dis

observers to believe that an understand

start. Despite the current soft-pedalfng
OF the issue, nothing Is more natural
than that this is to figure prominently
