Referring to the award of this prize
to five Americans since the end of
the war, the Springfield (Mass.) Union
states: 1T is sign perhaps that Nor
way not only wishes to recognize those
distinguished Americans who are striv-

that the leadership in this great and
important movement naturally is in this
country. AS peace loving nation
without tense fears for our security We
are in logical position to sponsor and
lead peace movements"
The Port Huron Times Herald quotes
DR.. Butler as asserting that ''in the
World War every combatant lost and
no combatant won,' and comments on
this statement: All the nations en-
gagged in that war lost so much in al
most every material and spiritual way
that the world has been sick ever since,
and may be a long time yet in getting

Increase of Taxes
Will Lower Morale
To the Editor Of The Star.

To the Editor OF The Star.
There is one important factor about
the taxation of the citizens of the Dis
trict of Columbia that has not been
given the proper consideration by mem
bers Of Congress, and that is by adding
this additional burden upon the Gov
ernment employees the morale will be
lowered, which will result in less eff
cheney, consequently a greater deficit
for the United States Government.
1t is hard to believe that members
of Congress could be so blind to the
fact that they have reduced the in
come of the District by taking the
property for the Government building
program and on top Of that reducing
their just portion Of taxes
They seem to have forgotten that
Washington, D. c., is the capital Of the
United States, and not the capital of
the District of Columbia.

Senate and Moratorium.

The Senate tackles the Hoover mora
torium resolution today and If the plans
of the leaders Of that body work out it
will have been disposed of before the
Congress adjourns for the holidays,
which is planned for tomorrow. The
House, a body of 435 members, passed
the joint resolution making the mora
torium effective SO far as the United
States is concerned, after having de-
bated the measure for a little more than
eight hours. 1t would appear to most
thinking persons that the Senate. which
has only 96 members when all are pres
ent, could content itself with a period
Of debate no longer than that used by
the House to dispose of the moratorium.
There was no strong Republican
majority IN the House to force through
special rule limiting debate on the
moratorium resolution. The Limitation
of time for the debate was reached
amicably by the leaders on both sides
OF the chamber by the members who
favored and who opposed the passage
of the joint resolution. It was obvious
that under the present political lineup
In the House that body could have
taken month discussing the resolution
had it so desired. But the House acted
in reasonable manner And If there
was anything left unsaid about the
moratorium after the House had dis
cussed it, it was not because oppor-
tunity had been denied to those who
wished to speak.
In the Senate the sentiment in favor
OF the passage promptly of the
moratorium resolution is overwhelming
on both sides of the chamber. There is
small group, headed by Senator Hiram
johnson, opposing the passage of the
resolution. No indication has been given
over the week end that the opposition
plans to f1libuster. But debate for the
sake OF delay is sometimes difficult 10
detect. Some members of the Senate,
accustomed to the delivery of speeches
hours long, have lost all regard for
time and do not realize that the
oratorical performances of the Upper
House in recent years have left the
country not only cold to the Senate,
but extremely critical.
Senator David l. Walsh of Massa-
chusetts, a Democrat and an opponent
OF foreign debt cancellation or reduc-
tion, hit the nail on the head when
he declared in connection with the
moratorium resolution
The Senate, in my judgment, will
give poor account of itself and be
subject to much well deserved criticism
II, IN the present crisis, with the press
OF emergency legislation, it dallies and
temporlzes with the moratorium resolu-
ton.
The moratorium, he wisely pointed
out, is already in effect He said that
a moratorium is not debt cancellation.
but merely an extension of time in
which to pay, distinction which op-
ponents of the moratorium have been
prone to make. It will be time. the

consider any further extension of the

Miss Addams and DIR. Butler
Approved as Nobel Winners

Joint award Of the Nobel Peace Prize
to Miss Jane Addams and DR.. Nicholas
Murray Butler is indorsed by the pub
lie, which finds in their respective lives
sustained efforts in the promotion of
better feeling among nations. 1t is
pointed out that they are the first
American recipients of the honor who
have not been holders of public office
Such Americans as these two are
contributing greatly to the progress of
the world" AYERS the Buffalo Evening
News, declaring that they richly have
earned the distinction which has come
to them" while the Charleston wv. Va
Daily Mail recognizes that "both have
contributed greatly to advancing the
peace idea by spoken and written word"
The Rochester Times Union holds that
probably no woman in our history ever
worked harder or achieved more in
social service and peace work than Jane
Addams," and states as to DR. Butler:
1T is believed he persuaded the late
Andrew Carnegie to establish the peace
foundation that bears the steel mans
name" and that lit is known tfat he
did much to arouse public interest in
the United States in Aristide Brands
ideas which led to the creation of the
Kellogg BRAND pact outlawing war"
THE honor is we'll bestowed in the
judgment of the Worcester Evening
Gazette, mot because either DR.. Butler
or Miss Addams has been identified
with any outstanding success in the
field of international action, but be-
cause, through years of able and de-
voted effort. tf.ey have come to positions
Of recognized leadership which makes
them, in the truest sense. representa-
tives of the intelligent thought of the
country upon what is perhaps the grav-
est of the problems confronting us"
The Worcester Telegram adds that
statesmen must have behind them an
inspired public opinion" and concludes:
Sometimes the statesmen themselves,
by flaming end persuasive words, build
up the popular support which they need.
Sometimes they must depend upon
others for this task. At all times the
exhortations of such persons as DR..
Butler and Miss Addams are Of i'm
measurable worth
"The two recipients" thinks the Oak
land Tribune. ARE conspicuous workers
in the cause of international under
standing. The Jane Addams program,
perhaps, has been the quiet one, with
life and example dedicated to the cause,
LIT. buIleT, SCIlOidI anu OIdVOI, has DteL
called upon to deliver important mes
sages in many countries, and has never
failed to voice his plea for the peaceful
ways to settle international questions" !"
The Providence Bulletin feels that both
could we'll receive awards for efforts and
successes in other fields, but peace is
the subject closest to their hearts. Miss
Addams," continues the Bulletin, has
given freely Of her time. with the same
conscientiousness that marks her work
in social welfare, to uniting the women
Of the world for constant and persistent
pressure to forward the progress of a
Warless world. 1t can be said
of Dr. Butler that there is no peace
movement anywhere in the world that
does not know and honor his name"
"It is the sixth time the Nobel Peace
Prize has come to the United States"

The Ascetic.
He mourned the Yesterday with hope
less grief
And then for solace to the Morrow
turned
And sought the happiness and calm
relief
Which may by toll and sacrifice be
earned.
Intent upon the penance or the task,
He bent his head through many a
weary hour,
Eager to give and yet too proud to ask
The simple kindness of a passing
flower
Sun-gold and blossoms and the song
so free
He needed not, but in his narrow way
For shadows past and dreams of things
to be
spurned the oerfowing bounty of

upon the subject"
Republican hopes are at a low ebb
In number of the States in the
Middle West, but in none are they
lower than in Missouri. which for the
last quarter of century has been
swinging more and more toward the
Republican standard from an earlier
Democratic leaning, until the last Cou-
pie of years. President Hoover carried
the State in 1928 by 10000. But the
reports from the State today are that
If an election were held tomorrow it
surely would go Democratic. This
from trained political observers as well
as from the politicians themselves.
Missouri was one of the States in 1928
which came reluctantly to the nomi-
nation of President Hoover in Kansas
City. The Republicans Of the State
favored, in great numbers, Lowden or
Vice President Curtis over the Presi-
dent. The Missouri farmers have in
