BIueprintS Tell
CINCINNATI, as we'll as Wash

NlNClNNAIl, as well as WASH
~ ington, has adopted the plan of
an architects advisory council.
The institute plans now to ask
each of its seventy chapters to start
a drive for similar council in its
own town.
The majority OF people can tell
whether a building is beautiful,
mediocre, or ugly, but in completed
buildings nothing can be done about
it," officials of the institute say.
1.-THE trained eye can detect po-
tential ugliness and possible i'm
provements in blueprints. At this
stage, improvement may be made in
proposed buildings.
eff the members of the architec-
tHral profession will focus their
trained eyes upon buildings in the
blueprint stage, and will give CO.
operative, constructive criticism Of
one another's work, and if even a
minority of the public will lend
moral support, there need no longer
be any reason why entire sections
are injured repeatedly by endless
rows of mediocrity, or well-ordered
neighborhoods by single eyesores.
"Well-designed buildings need
ost no more than mediocre struc-
lures. They are better investments
for the purchasers, c-d for the COM
munity as a whole"
For eight years, once a week,
three architects, drawn from jury
panel, have criticised constructively
all plans filed for building permits
in the District, of Columbia.
The jury groups all plans into five
classes-distinguished, commended,
approved, average, and disapproved.
Distinguished service awards are
made by a board of review"

of Isolation.
TUCSON, Ariz.. Feb. 1s.-The
Il Arizona house Of representa-
tives requests President Hoover and
the United Sttaes senate to stabilize
the price of silver. presumably up
ward.
The idea is quite popular in this
section Of the country just now.
No doubt, several other states
would join Arizona in round-robin
to the federal government if they
thought it would do any good, but
memories of Bryan and 90 put
damper on their wishful optimism.
Where the doctrine of free and
unlimited coinage of silver once
was regarded as the sine qua non of
human salvation, even those with a
real pot at stake find it difficult to
do more than hope that a Chinese
loan can be arranged.
China is on a silver basis, but
hasn't enough silver to meet pres
ent obligations, much less finance
foreign trade.
1t has been suggested that if the
United States, or group of nations,
including the United States, were to
loan China two or three hundred
million dollars worth of silver, not
only would the price of the metal be
stabilized, but commerce with China
greatly increased.

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1931-09-07

In the political upheaval in Great Britain that has
brought about an epochal change in the Empires govern
ment, a most important fact, in the opinion of many un-
biased American observers, is that Premier Ramsay Mac
Donald seems a bigger man in defeat than he would have
been in victory.
Faced with a financial crisis that gravely menaced his
nation, Macdonald responded to the call Of the welfare Of
his people first and to the political fortunes of his party
second. NV
Though leader of the Labor party, which represents
the cleft wing in British political thought, he recognized
the grave necessities of the situation and chose to play ball
with Conservatives and the Liberals. He even assented to
Stanley Baldwin, leader of the ultra-C conservatives and one.
of Labor's bitterest foes, being made one of the most i'm
portant members of his new cabinet.
Thus, by a strangle combination Of Labor, Liberal and
Conservative members, Great Britain now has a govern
ment of individuals" with Macdonald at its head. The
best men in each of the three widely divergent political
groups are now working hand in hand to rescue their ma
ton from threatened economic disaster.
Looming above them all is Macdonald himself, who.
might, had he chosen to play the part of a blind and
selfish politician, forced a victory for his party at the ex-
pense Of the public welfare. Failing in victory, he might
have s%tubbornly fallen in a crashing defeat with wide
spread damage to the interests of his beleagured nation
Either development would have meant no good to the.
other nations of the world with whom Britain's fortunes
are interlocked by trade and commerce.
Of course, there are some who will say that Mac
Donald Surrendered to the enemy" Chauvinistically
they will insist that a party leader should stand by his
party to the last ditch. Blindly, they will see only the
narrow political path that a politician is supposed to
tread, overlooking the wider roads that lead toward the
common good OF the people.
The world needs more great political leaders like
Ramsay Macdonald. 1t needs men with a vision broader
than mere party politics. 1t needs men who are firm
enough to act on the best dictates Of their judgment, who
are brave enough to conciliate with the opposition parties
when cancellation means advancement of the public
welfare.
The development may not have solved Britain's prob
lem OF depression-perhaps the oasic conditions creating
the crisis will remain but Macdonald seems to be doing
his best.

In spite of the fact that it is a brave man who gives
a seat on a street car today, there is a hangover of chiv-
airy left in the world in the old-fashioned sense Of the
word at that.
