Deplores Fireworks While
Bonus Men Are Suffering

To the Editor of The Star:
1t seems hard to believe that any
one can fail to see that the bonus, as
they call it, is a false issue. There is
not one of these men who if he had
opportunity to work for a living, would
willingly live on charity and parade
in rags and beg for more charity in
the form of bonus dole, as these
men are doing. They are not doing it
from choice or for fun. It can only
be bitter fun to them. Yet Monday
night, while these men, who at one
time gave all they hao, were being fed
bread and beans, some thousands of
dollars were being spent for a public
display of fireworks to amuse the chill
dren and adult infants of Washington.
1t seems incredible that men of posi-
tion and authority can be so blind to
realities.
The problem of unemployment Is an
economic one, which most Of us cannot
solve or even help to solve, but we can
at least face realities and refuse to be
led docilely by theorists who talk of
the evils of doles and monetary imitation.
When men are denied opportunity to
work and allowed to go hungry economic
theory is not much use. One man in
authority in Washington who has
shown a capacity for facing realities,
as we'll as human feeling and executive
ability, is Gen. Glassford 1t Is un-
fortunate that all he has had out of
1t is abuse and criticism, when he
should have unstiIyec support. The
facts of unemployment and hunger are
now present in Washington, as well
as elsewhere. Such hard facts require
action and not theory.

Britain's Naval Proposals.

In the House of Commons yesterday,
Mr.. Stanley Baldwin, acting premier
during Mr.. MacDonald1 absence at the
Lausanne Conference, --,bmitted a
statement of the British attitude toward
President Hoover's proposal to cut all
ornaments by one-third. Great Britain.
in substance, accepts the Hoover plan,
but draws the line at the Presidents
naval program. Because OF BritainS
far-fiung imperial interests, Mr.. Bald
win declares it is impracticable for her
to reduce her feet beyond a certain
definite point.
The American people have full sym
pathy with that position. 1t reflects their
own. The United States supports Presi-
dent Hoover's project for relieving the
world of the burden of excessive arma-
ments, but stops short of acquiescing in
any scheme which would deprive the
country Of an induhitably adequate de-
tense at sea.
It is rather with the details Of the
British naval reduction views that pub
lie opinion here, and especially naval
spinisn. s bound to take issss. Mr.,

The New Postage Rate.

Postal authorities report that an un-
expectedly high score of memory was
made by the patrons of the mail service
on Wednesday in the observance of the
new three-cent rate for first class mat
ter. A rough computation puts the
number Of two-cent stampers at less
than ten per cent of the total. OF
course, there was no good reason for any
percentage of forgetfulness. The fact
that the new rate had been decreed
and would go into effect on July 6 had
been broadcast by every possible means
Of announcement many days in advance.
Yet habit is strong and so thousands
of people stuck two-cent stamps on
their letters on the first day of the
new rate. With each day since the start
of the fifty per cent advance the num-
ber has dwindled. Probably by the close
of the first week two-cent stamps will
appear only rarely.
Meanwhile, there has been a great
run on the postal stations for one-cent
stamps to supplement the two-cent
tokens already in stock. So heavy was
the demand for this little used denomi-
nation in New York day before yester-
Gay that the supply wss exhausted and
an order for ten million stamps was
telephoned to Washington. An air
shipment of three million went back
Immediately to relieve the pressure and
the remaining seven million followed at
once.
An interesting result of the prospec-
tive change of rate was observable
during the first days of the month,
before the law went into effect, in a
remarkable increase in the volume of
first class matter, especially from
sources of heavy contributions to the
mails. This was an eleventh hour
endeavor to take advantage of the old
rate.
The immense volume of letters pass
ing through the mails in this country
makes the addition of a penny to the
postage yield large sum. 1t is esti-
mated that the annual contribution of
the mail users to the emergency reve-
nues of the Government will amount
to $160,010000, which will signify the
passage of roundly sixteen billion items
of first class material through the
mails. So the humble little penny
