MUST SAFEGUARD HEALTH
OF BEGINNERS IN SCHOOL
They Will Be Making Most I'm
pOrtant Change in Daily Routine

Here's to the youngsters who will
start on the long, long road to the
three RS, in few days. Wishing
them happiness and success and above
all, health, DR.. R. H. Riley, director of
the State Department of Health has
this to say to the parents:
"Only a few days remain befoi /,
the schools will reopen and of the
thousands who will be starting school
ward none will be making a more i'm
portant change in their daily routine,
and need to be more carefully safe
guarded than the beginners, just
starting their school careers. If you
have not had it done during the sum-
mer, take these youngsters to your
family doctor and to your dentist.
Let the children have as thorough a
going-over as you would give to your
automobile if you were getting ready
for long, trying journey.
eff your doctor or your dentist finds
conditions that need correction, have
them attended to before the children
start to school. Teachers who have
kept careful check of attendance and
progress of children in the grades, all
agree that the children who start in,
in good physical condition and who
who are free from preventive physi-
cal handicaps, lose less time and make
the grade much more easily than
those do who are dragged down by
i'll health.
"The State Department of Health
in cooperating with the State and To-
cal Parent-Teacher Associations, has
been urging parents to have their five
and six year-olds examined by their
own doctors and dentists, during the
summer months, in preparation for
their enrolment in school. Child
health conferences arranged by the
County Health Officers in cooperation
with the Bureau of Child Hygiene of
the State Department of Health, have
been held as usual throughout the
counties. In addition, the Depart
ment's Child Healthmobile, with a
doctor and dentist in charge, has
visited a number Of counties in South
ern Maryland and on the Eastern
shore for the purpose of reaching
mothers and young children in the
more out-of-the-way places.
Between four and five thousand
young children have been examined
at these conferences and through the
efforts of the. Parent Teacher Asso.
Citations a number of other children
have been taken to their own doctors
but as the State Department of Edu.
cation is preparing for an enrolment
in the beginners grade, of four times
that many, it is obvious that great
many of the children who will enter
school this fall, have not had the bene
fit of such safeguarding care.
"You would have your machine in
spected if you were going to start OF
a journey. Don't think less of youl
children than you do of your auto
mobile"

PROCLAMATION

year 1881, an Act was passed, to-wit: Chapter
479, proposing an amendment to Section 8. Ar

the qualified voters of the State of Maryland
as follows:

to approvep The stockholders may then
consider the amended form Of agree
ment and take 1t or leave it. What
Congress should by all means avoid is
the tendency to pigeonhole this legis-
lation because there Is controversy over
its terms. Controversial points should
be considered on their merits and per"
mitted to receive the test Of vote.
Conditions have so changed since the
first attempt at merging the car lines
and the introduction of the famous
Maltbie report that the corporations no
longer are in a position to bargain. II
they want to merge, they should be al
lowed to merge, as long as the agree
ment is fair to the public. But there
is no reason why the public should be
expected to purchase" the car lines
right to merge in any way, shape or
form. There is merit in the conten-
ton that the car lines should be re-
lieved of the expense of maintaining
crossing policemen. Conditions have
changed materially since they were
charged with that expense. There Is
merit in the contention that the car
lines should be relieved of some of the
expense of paving between tracks, that
they heretofore have borne. But why
should such relief be wrapped I'D in g
merger agreement? 1t is important
enough to be considered as a question
in itself.
The merger, Of course, benefits pri-
marily the street railway corporations.
The tangible benefit to the car riders
is nowhere set down. The whole bust
ness should be considered with the
fact in mind that merger is desirable;
that the companies want to merge
and should be permitted to do so as
long as the rights Of the public are
protected, and that Congress, having
necessarily assumed the obligation Of
acting on such matters, should dis
charge that obligation.

The Street Car Merger.

The fact that the merger resolution
and agreement, now beginning their
familiar way through House and Senate,
have been approved by the Public
Utilities Commission is no assurance
that they will be accepted in present
form by Congress. The merger has
been approved before by the Public
Utilities Commission. Nor Is there any
reason to believe that objections by
members Of Congress, resulting in de-
feat of the merger in former years, will
not be renewed. All Of the matter con-
sidered Objectionable In the past has
not been removed.
But should the fact that there will
be objections TO the form Of merger
agreement and Of the resolution ratify-
ing the agreement mean that the busi-
ness Of accomplishing merger OF the
car lines is again to be held up and
indefinitely delayed?
If the principle Of merger Is desirable
and everybody agrees that 1t is. what Is
to prevent Congress from giving all OF
the objections the serious study that
their importance deserves, and to whip
into shape, according TO its own ideas
the form Of agreement that It Is willing

L. s. Court Decision
Helps Amity Abroad
To the Edltor OF The Star:

10 the EC!tCr OF Inc star:
A leading Dutch newspaper, the
N!euWe ROtterdamsche Courant, re-
Gently commented upon a decision of
the Court of Claims of the United
States as follows:
This judgment proves that the in
terests of citizens of other countries
can be safely intrusted to Judges Of the
United States of America"
The newspaper had reference TO the
Judgment of the Court Of Claims in
the United States, decided by the Court
of Claims on December 7, 1881. This
claim grew out of the detention of a
Dutch vessel during the World War;
was for many years the subject of dip
lomatiC negotiations for settlement be-
tween the Government Of the United
States and the government Of The
and upon the suggestion
of the United States was referred 10 the
Court Of Claims under special juris-
dictional act.
In deciding the case the Court of
Claims applied the principles OF inter
national law in such a way as to Vlndi-
cate the position which had been dip
taken by the government Of
the Netherlands.
At a time when We Of the United
States are prone to believe that. be-
cause Of jealousies and the application
of international politics, the feeling Of
every citizen Of every European nation
is strongly prejudiced against the United
States, this proceeding and the comment
of the Dutch newspaper are particu-
larly refreshing.
Not only do we find a European gov
eminent permitting its citizens to in
trust the decision of its rights to an
American court, but We find that after
submission a court Of the United States
has applied the principles of interna-
tional law impartially and entirely con-
trary to the contentious of its own Gov
eminent. And, finally, it is refreshing
to find that the newspapers Of Holland
are announcing to the world that citi-
Zens of other countries may safely in
trust their interests to the judges Of
the courts Of the United States.
I am myself Of Dutch birth and am
the correspondent in this country of
the NieuWe RotterdamsChe Courant.
and it seems to me that the people of
Washington would be glad to know Of
the very favorable opinion in Holland of
one of your important courts.

Direct u. S. Relief
Is Called UnsOund
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
The proposal that unemployment re-
lief be accomplished through direct
appropriation of millions of dollars by
the Federal Government Is economically
ursound The first essential TO the
cure Of unemployment is the restora-
ton Of public confidence, and that can
not be brought about by continual
ton of the policy of spending far be-
yond our income.
A better plan would be for the Fed
eral Government to appropriate any
necessary amount to be loaned to the
States, without interest and repayable
over a period of 10 years, for unem-
ployment relief Experience has shown
that the fiat appropriation of Federal
funds is usually accompanied by reck-
less waste.
It has been pointed out that upon
one occasion bacon sent by the Fed
eral Government to sufferers in a flood
area was found being distributed in
localities SO miles removed from the
food area. II the need in any given
State is not great enough TO render
the Governor and Legislature of such
State willing to assume the RESPONSE
bility for the repayment of sums ad-
vanced, without interest over a period
of 10 years, then it is not great enough
to Justify the Federal Government in
pouring billions of dollars into the rat
hole of uncontrolled disbursement.
If the States are dispensing their
own funds, even though borrowed from
the Federal Government, some care
will be used to prevent waste II they
are dispensing Federal funds each
State group will have in mind to grab
all that it can, with little reference to
real needs.
Mr.. Clifford has told Congress that
local sources of aid will probably be
sufficient. Certainly, if the Federal
Government establishes a source from
which the several States can get any
additional sum needed, 1t will have in
sured that no one need go hungry, and
that is as far as the Federal Govern
ment should go. The States already
have the machinery, through their
election off1cials to reach into every
nook and Granny of the country PolIti-
cal leaders have no difficulty in reach
ing the most remote and humble voter
on election day.
1t is repeated that the most effective
measure toward the relief of unemploy-
ment is the restoration Of business con-
fidence through sound methods of
finance, and this calls for prompt
balancing of the budget. In addition,
Congress would do well to extend the
moratorium upon war debt payments
from one year to two years and TO re-
linquish interest upon these debts
during the intervening period
1t is much easier TO prevent debtor
from becoming a bankrupt than it is
TO rehabilitate him after he has become
a bankrupt. When he has once taken
the disagreeable plunge of saying that
he cannot or will not pay his Just and
honorable debts he has passed the
principal hurdle upon the path Of COM
plete reputation.
Consequently, it would seem TO be
wise to fOrebear now, until the world
can recover from the slump, rather than
10 force the issue and cause the debtor
nations TO seize the present abnormal
conditions as an excuse TO pass the
first and greatest barrier on the path to
debt reputation.

Dance Marathon
Protest Endorsed
To the Editor of The Star:

10 the Edltor Oh Inc Star:
May I heartily indorse the protest
raised in your columns yesterday against
the dance marathon now being held at
the Auditorium. 1t is indeed strange
that within a few blocks Of the White
House there should be on exhibition
this pitiful manifestation of the moron
mind at rs cents per
AS your correspondent remarks, there
surely ought to be some legal means
by which certain backward types Of
youth might be spared such Sordid eX-
ploitation Of their weaknesses. l am
sure that many of us have bluShed for
civilization on seeing the contestants
for this world championship" God
help usD being dragged, carried, coaXed
or bullied from their cots back to the
dance floor after the 15-minute rest
period each hour. As spectacle the
contest is loathsome. Girls and boys,
asleep on their feet, are pushed into the
arena where, blindly and stupidity, they
totter around, or posture tndecently, to
the inane giggles of the fans" who
toss them occasional nickels, like pea
nuts to monkeys. I would recommend
to all students interested in manifesto
lions of social depravity that they spend
some hours in the basement of the
Auditorium compiling case histories.
They will find it happy hunting
ground.
1t is strange to think that dance
marathons are unknown in effete Eu-
rope and other unenlightened parts of
the globe. And stranger still, no laws or
municipal regulations are required to
keep them out. No, sir; merely an in
herent sense Of public decency.

You would suppose that people would
take the weather as it comes, since that
attitude is compulsory, anyway, in the
very nature Of things.
No doubt there are two real reasons
for the general negative attitude on the

The other is that dissent Is fashion,

Internat ional Solidarity.

A definite and Teassuring lessening
CT the tension due to the Japanese
attack upon China at Shanghai and
Marking has been caused by the action
yesterday at Geneva, where the Council
of the League of Nations, summoned
hurriedly by the call Of the British
government, adopted without division a
resolution to the effect that the "au-
thority Of the Council" will be aSso-
ciated with the naval, military and dip
lOmatic action that is being taken by
the United States, Great Britain,
France and Italy for the pacific settle
ment of Japan's "undeclared war" on
China. At the same time announce
ment was officially made in this city
Of the sequence Of diplomatic efforts to
check the developments which have
been advancing so rapidly toward state
of war in China. These reached the
point at which specific proposals were
made on Monday as follows:
Cessation of all acts OF violence on
both sides forthwith
No further mobilization or prepare
tons whatever for further hostilitieS
between the two nations.
Withdrawal Of both japanese and
Chinese combatantS from all points OF
mutual contact in the Shanghai area.
Protection of the International Set
Element by the establishment of neutral
zones to divide the combatants; these
zones to be policeo by neutrals; the
arrangements TO be set up by the con-
Sular authorities.
Upon acceptance of these conditions
prompt advances to be made in nego-
tiationS to settle all outstanding con-
troYersieS between the two nations in
the spirit of the pact Of Paris and the
resolution of the League of Nations OF
December 9, without prior demand or
reservation and with the aid of neutral
observers or participants
To these proposals China has unre-
servedly agreed. Japan has likewise
indicated its disposition to agree,
with the exception Of the fifth
point, inferentially reserving from the
negotiations the question Of the occu-
patton of Manchuria, which is evidently
considered at Toxic as an accomplished
fact, not to be confused with the
Shanghai incident and not to be In
cluded in the international scrutiny
that is to be applied TO the situation
in China proper. A formal response is
to be given within a few hours, follow
ing consultation at Toxic between the
foreign minister and the last surviving
elder statesman"
Meanwhile the Woosung forts at the
mouth Of the Whangpoo River have
been attacked by the japanese without
effecting their reduction and with the
loss Of a japanese destroyer, and at
Marking the confronting japanese and
Chinese naval forces have drawn apart,
with warshipS Of the neutral powers oc-
cupying an intermediate position.
Thus there is gratifying prospect
Of effective diplomatic intervention TO
end the conflict. However the case may
turn out, it is now apparently assured
that the United States will not be left
in a position of single interposition.
The international front is arrayed
against Japanese aggression upon China
and against Chinese provocation against
Japan

statement issued by former Secretary
Baker, while saying that he still per-
sonally favored entry of the United
States into the League, believed it
should not be an issue in the coming
campaign. Mr.. Baker went so far as to
say, too. that he would not Put the
United States into the League right
now, but that he would wait until a
majority Of Americans saw the true
light and favored adherence to the
League. In 1924 Mr.. Baker was the
great defender of the League of Ma
lions at the Madison Square Garden
National Convention of the Democrats.
He wanted the Democrats to place in
their national platform a declaration
favoring American adherence to the
League. But this year Mr.. Baker pro-
poses no such thing. He would keep
the League off the platform entirely.
This is not a good year politically
for those who lean toward tnterna-
tionalism in this country. Americans
are irritated because our foreign debt
orS are unable or unwilling to pay
their debts to this Government. No
one is more inSiStent that these foreign
debtors of the United States shall pay
than are the Democratic leaders. Gov.
Roosevelt also in his talk to the State
Grange goes on record as opposing debt
cancellation. If the whirligig of events
lands him in the White House, Mr.
Roosevelt probably will learn that there
is more to the problem of collecting
these debts than a mere assertion
against cancellation.

Hiking Paths Urged
Along New Highway
To the Editor Of The Star

To the Editor of The Star:
The new 15l2-mile Arlington Mount
Vernon Highway ought to have a dirt
path alongside for pedestrians. How
much more enjoyment could be had out
of this project If some such provision
were made. Scattered groups of pedes-
TRANS have been noticed walking along
the edge of the roads pavement Ger
tainly not altogether safe nor desirable
from a healthy out-ofdoor walking
standpoint, with machines whizzing by
every second On either side of the
pavement within the right of way are
80 feet available for foot paths. Ger
tainly there are enough Of us inter
ested in receiving all the benefits of
hiking to merit the construction of
dirt foot path in this case. Further
more, 1t is believed there is yet bal
ance in the funds appropriated for the
project which could be used for this
purpose. If those of us who still enjoy
long walks show enough interest such
q path might be forthcoming.
