Spain's First President.

Our ties with Spain, entwined as they
are with the memory and achievement
Of Christopher Columbus and with the
origin of Latin America, cause the Gov
ernment and people of the United
States TO welcome with no perfunctory
warmth the accession to Office of the
first President of the Spanish Republic.
Senor Don Niceto Alcala zamora was
elected on December 10 to that exalted
Office by the Cortes at Madrid under
the recently proclaimed constitution,
He received 362 votes out Of a possible
466 and will serve for six years-an
eloquent tribute to the white-haired
statesman who made the acquaintance
of traitors" cell during the fight for
the republic, which ended with the
dethronement Of Alfonso XIII last April,
Foremost in the Spaniards struggle for
a constitutional democracy to replace
the discredited Bourbon dynasty, it was
in full accord with the eternal fitness
OF things that Senior Zamora should be
the nrst 10 occupy the presidential
office. Spain starts out, at least, with
negation of the theory that republics
are ungrateful.
President zamora takes Office con-
scious that the Spanish skies are not
by any means cloudless and that high
degree Of skill is required on the bridge
to keep the new republic of the rocks.
Perhaps with glance into the possibly
near future, he is thinking of the
methods to which the President OF the
German Republic has just had to resort
when he says, Il will try not to be
dictator during my tenure" senor
zamora brings to his arduous task the
priceless asset Of middle age, having
just turned fifty-four. America salutes
"the father OF the Spanish Republic"
and wishes him and his country tran
quillity, happiness and prosperity during
its maiden presidency.

u. 5. Relations With Russia Involved
In Geneva Disarmament Conference

the obligations of the covenant of the
League Of Nations?
Mr.. Fletcher; No. And I SYM
pathize.
Mr.. Ttulescu: VIII Russia rsnounce
Bessarabia?
Mr.. Fletcher: No. And neither do
our immigration authorities.
Mr.. Zaleski and Mr. Titulescu: Then
we do not trust Russia.
Mr., Fletcher: How absurd! We
have RuSsia's word Russia gives us
its word that 1t will disarm and be
peaceful, What more could we want?
Have trust in RuSSial
Mr.. Zaleski and Mr.. Titulescu: Have
trust in Russia? Then let us ask you
one question. When are you going to
recognize Russia? When are you your
selves going to trust in Russia?
Mr.. Fletcher: Let us meet again to-
morrow morning.
In other words Mr. Fletcher will be
eSsaying an impossible task. He will
be trying TO persuade Poland and Ru-
mania to display confidence in a coun-
try In which we ourselves display SO
little confidence that we will not even
allow 1t TO send us an Ambassador.
Obviously our only chance OF mediating
successfully between Russia and its
neighbors would lie in the complete
prior diplomatic acceptance of the ex-
istence of Moscow
These prospective and inescapable de-
tails Of the conference at Geneva have
confirmed Senator Borah in his pro-
found belief in his generalization:
NO Russian recognition, no world
disarmament"
Naturally, 1t does not follow that we
snail recognize Russia We may pre-
Ter to see the world continue armed
We may prefer an armed world to a
oolshevik Ambassador and bolshevik
propaganda at Washington. On that
point Senator Borah rejoins:
We now in the matter OF Russia
do two things
First, we deprive ourselves of the
world benefits of Russian recognition.
Second, we get bolshevik propaganda
at Washington just the same.
The recent hunger marchers' who
assembled on the east plaza of the
Capitol grounds in Washington were
sent there by Communist organizers
They displayed bolshevik placards. They
shouted bolshevik arguments. They
uiu theSe tnlngs under the eyes and
within the hearing Of the Congress
itself. They could not have done them
more outrightly or with more pub
licity If bolshevik Ambassador had
been resident in the city.
The idea that we can escape bolshe-
vik propaganda by non-recognition of
Russia Is demonstrated fallacy.
The idea that we can escape con-
versing with bolshevik diplomats will
become demonstrated fallacy in the
disarmament conference"
Most OF Washington is against Sen
ator Borah on Russian recognition
Most Of 1t nevertheless tends to agree
with him on the embarrassing effect
that non-recognition of Russia will
have upon the proceedings of the dis
armament conference.

Money From Home-Reversed
BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN.

The most effective single measure
undertaken by the Federal Government
to relieve the stress Of unemployment
and hard times has been the passive
one of maintaining intact the salary
scale OF its employees. Not q wage or
salary has been cut and no one has
been thrown out of job because Of
overproduction. There has been but
one reduction in force to amount to
anything, and that had nothing to do
with the depression. The Bureau of
the Census had taken on some hun
dreds of temporary clerks to assist in
the compiling of the fifteenth census
data. As their work was completed
they were relieved, but they knew their
jobs were Of comparatively short dura-
tion when they took them.
The largest concentration of Govern
ment employees is at Washington. More
than $4,000 residents Of the Capital
City are on the Government pay roll.
This means at least one for every fam
lily in the city's population.
Every month the Treasury is de-
pleted by approximately $4,000 900 to
pay these Federal workers. Govern
ment pay days occur twice a month, on
the lst and 18th. Salaries are on an
annual basis. This means that every
two weeks S7,500,0o0 of crisp new
money is handed out to the Govern
ment employees. It is as regular and
dependable as the sunrise.
This situation has placed Washington
in an enviable position during the period
Of depression. The stores continue to
enjoy substantial trade and therefore
are able to retain their employees. All
down the line this bi-monthly shower
of money reaches
In spite Of this situation, Washington
has not escaped the effects of the de-
preston. 1t has not become an island
OF prosperity in a sea OF hard times
Indeed, critical examination of the
position of Washingtonians reveals that
the city has become, in one sense, de-
preston headquarters. Such a critical
examination has been made. In con-
nection with drive to raise funds for
the unemployed, the suggestion was put
forward that every Government worker
contribute three days pay to the gen.
eral fund. President Hoover and the
entire White House staff set the ex-
ample by deducting the amount from
their salary checks. Thousands OF other
officials, clerks and other types of en-
ployes have done likewise.
Clerks Are Sharing Literally.
The drive served to bring out the
manner in which this Government pay
roll at the National Capital is serving
to relieve depression, not only in Wash
ington, but throughout the length and
breadth of the land. In conversations
with their subordinates, bureau chiefs
discovered that there Is scarcely a Gov
ernment employe in Washington who
was not already sharing literally with
others before the unemployment fund
drive was thought of. Not only are
they sharing now, but have been for
many, many months.
While many Government workers
were born in Washington. the Capital,
10 a greater extent than probably any
other city Of comparable size has re-
cruited its working staff from without.
Because Congressman come to Wash
ington from every State and, over the
years, from practically every county in
the United States, and because they ex-
ercise some influence in the filling of

Where Did They Get Their Guns :

| Where did they get their guns? That
question remains to be answered in ex-
plsnstion Of the escape Of group of
long g-term prisoners from Leavenworth
Penitentiary Friday. Inquiry is in
progress, OF course, but thus far 1t is
not effective. The natural assumption
Is that the weapons were smuggled into
the prison. 1t is reported that the wife
of one of the convicts had information
! in advance that the break would be
attempted. This indicates an organized
outside plot of jail delivery. Yet only
small number OF the prisoners made
the attempt, showing that selected
few were involved. There was no gen.
eral rush, as was the case at the State
prison at Canyon City, Colo, little
more than two years ago, when thirteen
were killed and great damage was done
TO the institution.
With the utmost rigidity Of discipline
in an establishment of the size of
Leavenworth Penitentiary, there is al
ways the possibility of some loophole
of escape, some breach in the wall of
restraint which is designed to prevent
the supply Of weapons and other means
Of breaking forth. In modern prison
administration the inmates have the
privilege Of contact with friends and
relatives 1t requires incessant watch

small arms, saws and other imple-
ments. But in this case at Leaven-
worth the fleeing convicts were armed
with shotguns, which could have been
smuggled to them only through con-
nivance or through gross carelessness
on the part Of the guards.
In the past twenty-eight months
there have been eleven major prison
breaks in the United States, beginning
July %, 1929, at Auburn, N. Y. In
that year also occurred the break at
Canyon City, and one at Leavenwprth,
and another at Auburn, N. Y. In 1880
there were breaks at the Rhode Island
State prison and at Clinton prison,
N. Y. During this current year there
have been four preceding the latest
Leavenworth tragedy, these being two
at Joliet, ILL.,, and one each at Mar
quette, Mich, and Trenton, N J. In
the ten preceding escapes thirty eight
lives were lost and prison property to
the value Of upward Of million dol
lars was destroyed
Some Of these prison revolts and
breaks have been due to the overcrowd-
ing Of the institutions the lack of facili-
ties for housing the inmates, the de-
terioration Of discipline incident to
congestion. Prison reform has been
carried to the point where laxity of
watchfulneSs and the grant OF a dam
gerous degree of liberty to convicts has
weakened safeguards. The plain fact is
that the prisons of the country, both
State and Federal institutions, are
inadequate in size and equipment and
ineffective in restraint. The larger
establishments are too extensive. The
smaller ones are too small. The
prison problem" is still to be solved.
