Kansas City's Program.

From the 81, Louis Post Dispatch.
Realizing that piecemeal civic devel-
opment and hit-and-miss planning can
not keep up with the growth of mod
ern metropolis, Kansas City has put
forward 10-year plan of construction.
After eight months of work Citizens
Committee of 1000 members has
brought forth a program calling for a
bond issue of $3O,OO0,OO0 by the city
and Of $8,450000 by Jackson County.
The proposal now goes to the city
council and the County Court prelimi-
nary to the calling of bond election,
tentatively set for May IL.
In many respects the Kansas City
program follows the broad outline of
the $37, 600, 900 project voted by st.
Louis in 1923 and now nearing compile
ton. 1t allots 81 100000 each year for
a city hall and court house, $500 900
for municipal auditorium, So 500 900
for street improvements, S3500,000 for
improving water supply facilities. $2.-
100000 for parks and Fairgrounds and
S2,000,000 for hospitals. Other items
include new city market, stadium,
new ponce QlSIT4CG SldIlOlS, IlOOu pro-
lection, sewers, airport Improvements
and county road work
Kansas City will find, just as st.
Louis has now discovered, that even
after completing such an ambitious pro-
gram the city cannot afford to call a
holiday in progress and rest on its
laurels AS our own 10-year program
nears completion there awakens reali-
cation of the city's needs for fresh
attack on such problems as river-front
improvement. city lighting. additional
street development, grade separations,
outer parks and added hospital facilities
Our neighboring Missouri metropo' Is
will show commendable civic spirit by
adopting the program its committee has
prepared. Once such progressive move
mcn's ale started. the Visible benefits
will inspire t,,lcir thorough completion.

The Capper- Cramton Amendment.

It will be most unfortunate If Con-
gress adjourns without passing the
Cgpper- Cramton amendment to the
George Washington Memorial Parkway
act. Congress has already adopted the
plan for park development in co-opera
ton with the adjacent States of Mary
land and Virginia, outside of the limits
of the District of Columbia. AS is
generally known. this act provides for
the participation by the Federal Gov
eminent and the States, on a fixed
percentage bass in the appropriations
necessary to carry out such develop
ments as the George Washington
Memorial Parkway. The amendment,
which has been reported in both
houses and which is on the unanimous
consent calendars, provides that the
Federal Government may Immediately
spend 100000 of its share of the cost
without waiting for the actual appro-
priation of the States shares by the
State Legislatures.
The amendment does not in any way
increase the share to be borne by the
Federal Government, but merely allows
the Federal Government to spend now,
for the immediate acquisition of land,
some of the money that it has already
been pledged to spend later. The con-
tingent provisions of the original meas
ure, which made the whole plan de-
pendent upon State cooperation, are
protected in the amendment by the fact
that the Natinal Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission has be:oo.-.. 1t several
proposals from responsible sources that
guarantee payment by the States Of
half the cost. 1t is explained in the
Senate report on the amendment that
the appropriation does not increase the
total amount the Federal Government
is to pay but permits the purchase
now with Federal funds of key prop
critics, the importance of which seems
to justify their acquisition Immediately
The provision made here and the Ian
guage used is almost exactly similar to
the provisions now granted the National
Park Service under similar circum-
stances"
The Congress now coming to close
has played q great part in setting afoot
the most comprehensive schemes for
the extension Of the Capitals park sys-
TEN ever undertaken. The realization
Of these schemes will require many
years and the continued and sympa-
thetic cooperation of succeeding ses-
sions Of Congress. But at this time any
prolonged delay in obtaining some of
the land necessary for this development,
referred to in the Senate report as the
'key properties" may be fatal. Valu-
able tracts may be lost that can only be
regained through processes greatly ex-
ceeding in cost the present purchase
prices. For reasons of economy, for
protection of the greater plans that will
not mature for several years and for the
inspiration that lies in definite begin
nings, the Capper-Cramton amendment
should be passed. And when it is con-
sidered that the amendment implies no
additional Federal responsibility and no
increased commitments on the Federal
Treasury, 1t cannot logically be opposed.

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Wanderlust.
Now. why complain,
My valued friend,
AS cares again
Themselves extend?
SINE subtle plot
Seems going far
But have you not
A motor car?
Affairs behave
In manner queer.
Exhorters rave
With words severe.
Some stocks have got
Less worth than par
But have you not
A motor car?
The road is white.
The skies are blue.
The time seems right
To start anew
For some bright spot
Where pleasures are;
And have you not
A motor car?

Telegrsph's Liverpool CORE
IL spondent by a man recently sent
back from Canada who asserts
that the Dominion government is being
duped wholesale by deportees.
1T must not be supposed" said the
man, that we deportees who are not
in bad health are a wicked lot l have
come across some clever lads who are
beating the Canadian government at
its own game.
Canada is making a convenience of
emigrants, and. therefore. she must not
be surprised if she finds the boot on the
other foot he added.
Il know OF concrete cases where the
deportees are laughing up their sleeves.
In my own batch of deportees was one
man supposed to be pennileSs who
changed nearly $500 (G1O0) into English
money on the trip.
This type of deportee, who comes
home at the expense of the Canadian
government, Is what you might call an
Atlantic gate-crasher.
He wants to get away from the hard
ship of the Canadian Winter and home
for Christmas. In addition he wants to
see his old friends, and in particular the
girl of his heart, and all this he wants
to do as cheaply as possible.
Therefore he hits Canadian police
man on the nose, or pushes his fist
through shop window pane and get
himself arrested. The result Is a few
days imprisonment followed by deporta-
ton.
Thus he gets all he desires, including
free passage back to Britain and his
wad OF dollar notes is preserved intact"

World Wide War in 1882.

lie MaJln, PaTlS.-1De German zen.
Ludendorff has just published a sensa-
tional pamphlet entitled, THE New
Threat OF Worldwide War" The gen.
eral even sets the date for the opening
of this new conflict. 1t is May !, 1882,
and will be precipitated by break be-
tween Italy and France with. her Eu-
ropean allies, including Czechoslovakia,
Poland and Belgium. In Germany an
enforcement activity will be fos-
tered by Adoloh Hitler and the Nation
al-Socialists, whom Gen. Ludendorff as
sails as Italian propagandists in Ger
many, and controlled from Italy by the
Fascist party.
The general describes France and
italy as being at swords points on
many material issues. This enmity, he
declares, will undoubtedly kindle an
other European conflagration not later
| than the date he sets. In this revival
Of all horrors of war, Gen. Ludendorf
predicts that Germany will be the focal
| center, and that France and Italy will
settle their quarrel upon her soil. In
| the strife, Germany will be obliged to
! adhere to Italy, through the force of the
| Fascist movement now establishing it
| self in the Fatherland through the po-
| litical maneuverS of men like Kapp and
Hitler, and SO. instead of France, will
| become battlefield OF Europe which
will make the late Sanguinary sacrifice
of human life appear but minor cas-
ualty. In the end France will win
the victory. but 1t will be but Pyrrhic
one, for, while Germany and Italy will
be effaced as political unities on the
continent of Europe. the physical and
moral exhaustion of the attacking ma
tions will leave them as PROSTATE as the
| vanquished.
Such is the dismal picture the gen.
eral paints. Heaven forbid that such a
foreboding be made true! And yet his
arguments in which, detail by detail,
he builds up the form Of so dreadful an
apparition, do not sound fantastic. GaZ-
ing about at all our international trou-
bles, every day becoming less capable of
settlement or solution, 1t does appear

The Cast-Iron Duke" The duke is a
domestic tyrant who terrorizes every
one except his granddaughter in-law
Moyra. Perhaps because she is half
American she is not at all afraid of him
neither is she pacifist, for she quarrels
with him constantly. The question over
which they quarrel most acutely is the
education of Moyra'S two sons. She does
not consider that the old dukes educa-
tional ideas have been justified by the
results obtained in the cases of his son
and his grandson, Moyra father-in law
and husband, who are rather degenerate
specimens OF aristocracy.
