Protests the Continued
Presence of Narchers

To the Editor Of The S,ar:
Your recent editorial Congress
should Act Is most commendable l
quite agree Congress should have dealt
firmly with the veteran problem. II
1t Is not expedient to pay the bonus
now as demanded. and evidently it is
not. then they should not be permitted
to remain here burden on the D.s-
trict. OF course. they have the sympa-
thy OF the public. but they should
realize that their position is similar to
millions of others also deserving who
nave to grin and bear with the times.
II they are as patriotic as when they
sailed away to France I believe they
will forego kicking Uncle Sam while he
Is down and accept the courtesy of
sending them back on the cushions in
stead of later having to bum their way.
AS already suggested. some of them
might be again indicted into the
service. 1t seems as though some of
the Regular Army might be furloughed
and fill in the gap with these fellows
who have no home or dependents. 1
am inclined to think many of the vet
Grams were persuaded here against
their better judgment by would-be po-
litical climbers.

means In accord with Americas hopes,
1t carries a specific pledge to submit the
Hoover plan to conscientious scrutiny
during the recess interval.
Foreign Minister Mussolini demurs.
He directed his air minister, Gen. Balbo,
to drop a bomb on Geneva to the effect
that with such an ending as the recess
resolution would provide, "the confer
ence is undeserving Of the hopes OF the
peoples of the world" and that "the
Fascist government can take no part
in the adjournment vote" Soviet Rus
sia, through NJ Litvinoff, at Geneva
Yesterday, assumes a similarly scoffing
attitude.
1t is not yet clear whether II Duce
deplores the setting up of a smoke
screen to conceal the failure he con-
sidcrs the Geneva conference to be. or
whether the Mussolini susceptibilities
have been rubbed the wrong way by
the Franco British entente. That very
keen observer, Mr.. Paul Scott Mowrer,
cabling from Switzerland to yesterdays
Evening Star suggests that Italy bit
terly resents impending Franco-British
dominance in Europe Other dispatches
hint that Signor Grandi was dropped
by II Duce because the new entente
was fashioned at Lausanne without
Italy's knowledge, to say nothing of
her participation.
At any rate. as far as Geneva is con-
cerned, and whatever the basic cause
of his umbrage. Premier-Foreign Min
lister Mussolini, like the peeved little
girl of the story. is goirg to take Italy'S
playthings and leave the party.

Arlington County that it does in those

The most Objectionable feature OF
the plan. however, is the proposal OF
the State Highway Commission to use
convict labor on the secondary road
system. In rural sections convict labor
cannot be considered Objectionable ex-
cept. perhaps, on the ground that 1t
deprives unemployed men Of work. But
in an urban community 1t would have
a decidedly unsatisfactory influence on
the population. especially the children.

Admirin' him a heap.

With eloquence complete.

That's where he has beat.
He tells what the effect will be
OF duties low or high.
And what the country's goin' to see
Occurrin' by and by.
His words are very far from small
Too fine for me and you.
