Europe Wonders What Now?

Now that the party of Woodrow Will
son has regained interchangeable con-
troll of the United States Government,
Europe is naturally filled with hopeful
curiosity as to the course the Demo-
cratic administration and Congress will
steer in the waters Of international al
fairs. President ELECT Roosevelt was
consciously silent on that score dur
Ing the campaign, though no more so
than his Republican opponent. War
debts and disarmament. the twin prob
lens in which Europe is mainly inter

New rules for contract bridge play
ing formulated by cooperation among
leading players OF three nations, have
aroused belligerent comments and have
led to prophecies of social upheayals,
but are believed likely to be accepted
after the storm Is over. Mathematical
requirements are believed to be oppres-
sive to ordinary players, but it is con-
coded that they contribute to the scien-
tific accuracy of the game.
Remarking that the rules were stimuli
taneously adopted in New York. London
and Paris" the Cleveland News states:
by virtue Of their sponsorship. they
will have to be respected wherever the
game is played. Under the circum-
stances the wise course is to familiarize
ones self with them and forget the old
rules with a minimum Of delay and
complaint. The certainty that the re-
vision was made with no thought other
than the games improvement and Is
acceptable to the foremost bridge groups
in three countries should facilitate this
process One hopes that these changes
are final for the extended present. at
least With the difference of opinions
on the conventions of the game to
wrangle over, the rules themselves
should remain fairly constant to avoid
complete chaos in million homes. The
Whist Club of New York. the Portland
Club of London and the Commission du
Bridge Of Paris might, incidentally, act
in the interest of humanity by making
mandatory certain set of conventions,
now that they have done over the rules. !"
Notwithstanding these peaceful COM
ments, the Providence Journal recog-

bridge experts of Cleveland have de-
clared q revolt against the new rules. ="
That paper quotes the Cleveland in
surgents as declaring that they resent
the action of making new contract rules
for the world without consulting other
bridge clubs throughout the country"
The Journal quotes the Cleveland pro-
test further as charging that the new
regulations were devised for gambling
purposes" That paper concludes:
There will have to be new score cards

The Districts Congressional Losses.

No other community has such direct
interest in the composition of the Con-
gress as the District Of Columbia. For
Congress is the Districts local as
well as national legislature, and
the Capital community's concern as
to the personnel of the House OF
Representatives and the Senate extends
to the voting in every State in the
Union. In the course of the years the
elections in the States take heavy toll
from the ranks of the two Houses of
Congress in terms of Senators and Rep
resentatives who, through long expert
ence, have become acquainted with the
circumstances of the Capital and have
been dependable for steadtast service
and valuable assistance in behalf of
the unrepresented Washingtonians. The
District is reliant upon these legislators
for fair hearing Of its petitions and
a generous consideration Of its needs,
and for its defense from unjust criti-
cism and attack.
The elections of Tuesday have
wrought several changes in the CON-
gressional personnel that will be par
ticularly costly to the District repre-
sentation in House and Senate, espe-
cially in the latter body. Senator jones
of Warrington and Senator Bingham
OF Connecticut are among the victims
of the landslide which swept the coun-
try, and they will be missing from the
Seventy-third Congress and from the
service OF the District, in which they
have heretofore been always considerate
and understanding of the needs and
equities of the Capital Senator's Smoot
of Utah, Watson Of Indiana and Moses
of New Hampshire. likewise. have been
stricken by the avalanche of votes, and
with their passing the District will lose
three helpful friends.
The process of legislation on national
affairs is so absorbing of the time and
energy Of members of the two Houses of
Congress that they as a rule pay but
little attention to the duty imposed by
the Constitution upon them as the law
makers of the District. Considerable
time is needed to arouse the interest Of
members in the Districts welfare and
to acquaint them with the peculiar ne
cessities and the urgent and proper
needs of the community. When the
battles of politics take their victims in
the persons Of these good friends Of
Washington there is cause for sorrow,
tempered by the hope that the places
thus vacated may be filled by Senators
and Representatives who have equally
sympathetic understanding of the Dis
trict's necessities and rghtful claims
for consideration

Appealing to the Heart.

II Is significant that even the nuila-
balloo and the Juror OF national
election have not been allowed to inter-
fore with the thoroughgoing organiza-
ton work this week in preparation Tor
the final push of the Community CHEST
campaign While there has been GER
tain coincidence between the two
events. interest in the one has not been
permitted to detract from interest IN
the other. The situation in Washington
TODAY, with which the Community
Chest deals. is a realistic one. 1t is
difficult to conceive anything surpass-
ing it in Importance or demanding more
attention from the community.
Most Washingtonians are generally
familiar with this situation, and 1t is
unnecessary here to review it in detail.
1t NAV be summarized as having pre-
sented to Washington the choice be-
tween maintaining in their full effect
iveness the constituent agencies OF the
Chest, so necessary in these times OF
distress. or permitting them to crumble
under temporary pressure.
The majority of the citizens are prob
ABLY in agreement that the emergency
appropriations of public funds for the
direct relief of unemployment distress,
made for the first time last Spring, must
be renewed and increased this Winter.
Such appropriations will be used to
combat merely one element OF the
many which constitute our problem as
q whole. They are, correctly, viewed as
emergency appropriations. But the
agencies united under the Community
Chest organization were not set up to
deal with any emergency. Their crea-
ton was the result of various needs
existing in good times as we'll as bad.
The emergency has merely increased the
demands they always face, and the
many ramifcations Of the depression
have made more vital than ever their
continuance as the community's perma-
nent machinery for helping the unfor-
tunate
The Chest goal this year-s2, 4l9, 1877
represents the minimum amount neces-
sary for the support OF its agencies,
Their budgets for relief work and their
operating expenses have been cut to
point that is dangerously low, in recog-
milton OF the obvious fact that those
who are fortunate enough to be counted
among the Chests supporters have also
felt the effect Of hard times.
Money is scarce. But the chests ap-
peal this year is to the emotions in men
and women which are more in evidence
now than ever before. The Chest Is ap-
pealing, of course, for money. But
fundamentally its appeal is fer some
sacrifice upon the part of those who
have, in order to alleviate the bitter sui
fering and distress among those who
have not.
The appeal this year is a more per-
sonal appeal than ever before. The
pledges for contributors have been COM
puted on the basis of pennies per day,
instead of dollars year. Nothing IN
the appeal or in the machinery set up
for making the appeal, can possibly be
interpreted as coercion. The appeal Is
to the heart of the individual.
The assumption that the appeal Will be
successful rests en- the simple premise
that when the human heart is touched
sympathy and self-sacrifice know no
limits.

Farley and Sanders.

The chairmen of the Democratic and
Republican national organizations last
night looked into the future. James
A. Farley, who led the fight for the
election of Franklin D. Roosevelt, and
Everett Sanders. who directed the cam
paign for President Hoover, speaking in
the National Radio Forum, gave their
opinions OF what may be expected from
a political point Of view. Mr.. Farley
pledged the President-elect to work for
the country without regard to partisan
ship. Mr.. Sanders pledged the Repub-
licans to support the Democratic
legislation and policies which are in
the interest of the country This is
as 1t should be, II the welfare of the
American people is to be advanced.
Admittedly the task of Mr.. Farley was
the easier. He and his party were the
victors. The Democratic national
chairman expressed his own gratitude
as well as that of Gov. Roosevelt to
the American people for the support
they gave to the Democratic ticket. In
his address he outlined a program Of
party effort for the good of the whole
people. Roosevelt, he said. has made
his last political talk He is to be
President of the United States, OF the
whole people and not Of the Democratic
party alone. This is promise that the
whole people will devoutly hope may
be fulfilled.
Without seeking to offer an alibi for
defeat, Chairman Sanders insisted that
the Republican party has not abdi-
Gated, has not vanished into thin air.
It will continue q fighting force ready
to battle for It's principles. And that
is as it should be. II the American
form Of Government is to prevail the
minority party in the houses Of Congress
must continue to be an effective check
If no minority voice is heard, then the
Government becomes no more nor less
than an absolute monarchy, and per-
haps tyrannical.

hcan party has suffered major defeats In

did the organization not 60 through for
President Hoover? Perhaps neither was
the case. In Philadelphia there has
been great unemployment as well as in
other cities. Salaries and wages have
been slashed violently. The discomfort
with the situation probably had far
more to do with the election result in
Philadelphia than did. any detection Of
Mr.. Ware and his lieutenants. Presi-
dent Hoover ran stronger out in the
State than he was expected to do.
Otherwise, Pennsylvania, that strong
hold of Republicanism might have been

1t is, the million plurality which the
