The Byrd Road Plan.

Voters of Arlington County. Va, will
go to the polls August to decide
whether to accept the Byrd road pan,
placing all highway Improvements and
maintenance, secondary as we'll as pri-
mary. under exclusive Jurisdiction of
the State Highway Commission.
The plan undoubtedly will benefit a
number of counties in the State
sparsely populated and financially I'M
able properly to maintain the secondary
roads. The situation. however, is radi-
caily different in Arlington County,
and raises the question of the advan-
tages to be gained by a change in the
present system.
Arlington County, though the small
est in the State, Is reputei TO be one of
the wealthiest, and boasts the largest
population. 1t also is more urban in
character than any other county in the
State. 1t has streets, sidewalks, water
and street lighting systems, gas and
electricity and other modern conven-
fences that cannot be found in rural
sections OF the State.
Is it reasonable to suppose that the
State will continue the construction OF
sidewalks, pave streets and install curbs
and cutters while denying these i'm
provements to other counties which do
not need them? Is it reasonable to
suppose that the State Highway Com

Wholesale Midsummer Illness.

If there was carelessness in the prep
aration or negligence in the handling OF
the food which yesterday caused the
illness Of several hundred persons on
the occasion Of river excursion, analy-
sis and investigation will later deter
mine the fact. In cases Of this kind
there is always the question whether
sanitary rules have been strictly and
faithfully observed. 1t is possible that
the atmospheric conditions were alone
the cause OF the simultaneous illness OF
those who suffered. Yet the fact that
quantities of the surplus Of this par
ticular food supply were sent rs dona-
tions to some OF the bonus marchers,
who later became ILL., suggests that the
cause lay primarily in 1t.
The preparation Of food in large
quantities for picnic supply In Mid
summer is always attended by certain
degree of risk. The most scrupulous
care must be taken at all stages. the
intense heat of the atmosphere some-
times causes ferments despite every pos
sible precaution. 1t is not to be sug-
gested that there was any conscious
neglect in this instance, as, indeed, In
any other that has ever occurred.
In one respect there is ground Tor
qualification. No deaths have occurred,
although many scores are desperately
i'll. This is perhaps due to the prompt
ness with which medical and hospital
service was rendered the sufferers. To
Capt. Turner, in command of the steam
er bearing the stricken people back to
Washington. is due high commendation
for his forethought in summoning aid to
meet the boat as he passed Alexandra.
In consequence of this action, 1t was
possible to give the patients medical
attention Immediately upon arrival here.
Excellent hospital service was also rem
dered to the limit of facilities. Never
before, indeed, has any such pressure
been placed suddenly and simulta-
neously upon the institutions OF care
and service, which yesterday acquitted
themselves splendidly in behalf OF the
sufferers.

Filipinos Are Entitled
To Their independence

To the Editor of The Star:
Abandonment by the Senate for the
session Of further consideration OF the
Hawes Cutting Philippine bill Is tanta-
mount to clear remuneration OF Amer
ican dignity and altruism.
Opponents of the Philippine inde-
pendence measure. more or less those
who claim economic stability as the
determining factor Of Filipino freedom,
can policy toward the Filipino people
is ito introduce and develop the basic
conceptions of free government" The
Filipinos have already worked out and
are ready to assume the acid tests Of
free-governing and independent
existence The advocacy Of the eco
nomic problem is entirely out of con-
sideration in the solution of the Phil
ippine question. That phase Of the
independence problem is to be left
wholly in the hands Of the Filipino
people after the grant of their coveted
and much-souRht freedom, which prob
lem will be better worked cut and pro-
noted by them under an independent
status. for they would then be in
position to develop their country in
such fashion as they would see fit to
bring about their economic salvation.

the fact that economic independence
or self-sufficiency has been reached b..
hardly any country in the history OF
the world. The Philippines canno
reach that stage even If they remain
forever under the influence of Ampri-
can tutelage. The Filipinos believe
that they can face and stand the bit
ter turmoils Of economic independence
as much as any other free people in
the world today. and they are as much
courageous as any American in wres-
Ting economic arrangements.
The American Senate in sidetrack-
ing and pigeonholing the Philippine
question. has made a cowardly retreat
from the priceless principles OF liberty
for which that greatest Of Americans
George Washington-fought and in
stalled as an ingenious challenge to
domineering and ruling nations. This
failure on the part OF the Senate body
to f.; definite solution of the Philip
pine problem leaves America under the
mocking rebuke and criticism of the
rest of the world.

development of industries in this terri

Many industries that are clean and

could take advantage of the wonder
ful water transportation available here
for distribution along the Atlantic sea-
board.
Why should the native children Of
this territory be compelled to emigrate
when they become wage earners? This
project would give much-needed en-
ployment during construction and in
directly ever afterward. This could
be financed by the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation and should be pro-
moted by private enterprise.

Our Potomac River, with its wondrous
waterfalls and cataracts, its island gems
and bay mirrors, is the most fascinating
attraction Of our National Capital. In
the charming waters Of Potomac are
reflected the stately monuments of our
preat Presidents and on its banks are
sleeping in their last sleep our heroes
with the unknown one-who have
given their all to this land OF the free
and home of the brave.
It's expansive reaches are spannec by
graceful bridges, costing millions q

is detrimental to public interest and
a menace to public health; that it de-
stroys natural beauty by driving awav
shore and water animals; it ruins their
natural food, such as aquatic wild grains
and grasses. and that 1t also does away
with the beautiful plants, such as reeds,
water lilies and others.
This all means great loss of
esthetic value along the Potomac. Then,
too, the industrial waste dumped into
the Potomac causes real estate damage
to Washington and other communities
perched on its banks.
Still worse conditions are created by
the discharge Of human sewage into
the Potomac River day and night In
unrestricted huge volume.
Who cares to swim in such horrid
waters, or who cares to fish in them
MANY cities in this country and in
foreign countries, though poor thev

But why have We not cleaned UP

perhaps, explained by our inertia and
