Of the famous Chinese statesman and
foreign minister, c. T. Wang. She is
getting her diploma this afternoon with
high honors at Chevy Chase School,
which she has attended during the past

went shopping for presents to take back

idea of buying some American stock

There may be another William Henry

Harrison is great-great-grandson of
William Henry Harrison. ninth Presi-
dent of the United States, and q
grandson of Benjamin Harrison, the
twenty-third President. Despite his

Mr.. Harrison is aspiring for the first

Addressing the graduating class OF
National Cathedral School for Girls
yesterday, the Right Rev. James E.
Freeman, Bishop of Washington,
preached a baccalaureate sermon on
the text of the foolish virgins. Bishop
Freeman said the Biblical lesson OF
unpreparedness for an emergency had
been entirely lost on American captains
of industry and finance. He warned
campuses to beware in life of the short
sightedness which caused the Nations
business leaders to drift into the exist
ing economic mess without having
planned for the rainy day.

Chile Goes Socialist.

/; Chile has indulged In her second
revolution within year. It was only
hast July that the government Of Presi-
dent Carlos Ibanez was overthrown
Natter a tempestuous rule distinguished
In IT'S closing days by semi-dictetor-
ship. The Ibanez regime was succeeded
by q government headed by Juan Este
ban Montero, who in October was elect
ed President. On Saturday last 1t was
President Montero's turn to 60 the way
of 80 many hapless Latin American
chief executives. as the result Of a more
or less peaceful coup d'etat engineered
by the army in behalf of Senor Carlos
Davila, who now rules the country as
provisional President.
American interest in the accession OF
6enor Davila II lanced by the fact
that until q J ago he was the ac-
complished and popular Ambassador of
Chile to the United States. He with
drew from his post at washington at
the time of the upheaval which de-
posed President Ibanez. Prediction
was freely made that out OF the tur-
moil Of Chilean politics Senor Davila
would himself emerge one day Is his
,feountrys chief and bring to the Office
{ IN active personality Of ultra-modern
character.
A great industrial nation, Chile has
Dor several years, like the rest Of the
.World, tottered under the impact Of
ssconomic depression. Government nnan-
Nees, as elsewhere, have fallen into
sehaotic disarray, and the demand fol

face anacD strongly Of Russia and
some Of Communism's shibboleths with

I'VE propose to replace the reaction

at economic liberation Of the nation
and the triumph Of social justice

republic. freeing the productive forces

and unemployment will be remedied
by recourse to large for

Radicalism incarnate u breathed by
this sweeping program. The many
Washingtonians and other Americans
who enjoyed the acquaintance Of Senor
Davila during his four years residence
In this country found him an enlight-
ened man Of the world. They will have
confidence that In carrying out his
revolutionary policies. the journalist
diplomat-statesman will not permit
himself to be driven into extremes that
would bring inevitable damage to Chile.
Something like billion dollars Of Amer
ican money Is invested in Chilean en-
terprises. Large amounts Of British,
French and German capital are at stake
in the country, too. The foreign ma
tions thus involved will hardly stand by
and let Chile experiment their nationals

A Gesture Toward Equity.

Tne 6enateS exemption from tne Ten
per cent salary cut Of those salaries
"below" $1,000 Is, OF course, q mere
gesture offered as q sort Of harmless
baln to Offset by psychological sugges-
ton the rawness Of the whole salary
slashing scheme. The employe who
receives the royal sum Of 81 900 a year.
or about $le.25 week, will suffer a
ten per cent reduction, Just as the
man who receives $4,000 a year will
.. suffer q ten per cent reduction. But
the employe who receives $999.99 a
year will escape the cut entirely. In
the end. the employe who receives .
thousand dollars q year will be sub
jected to . reduction In compensation
that viii place his salary on a par with
that OF the man who IS now receiving
$500.
1t Is erroneous TO believe, however,
that the number Of those to benefit by
the -than-$1 900 exemption is trivial
or unworthy Of consideration. There are
about 124,678 civil employees who draw
less than 81 ,000 The irony Of the gesture
In exempting them Is found In the fact
that there are another $4,000 employees
In the salary group between $1,000 and
$500. The total number Of employees
who draw less than $500 . year COM
prise more than a third Of all civil gov
ernment employees. And 1t is idle to
pretend that If the employe who earns
$1,000 or even 81 500 can in equity
be forced to accept ten per cent cut
The truth Of the matter is that no
one can be found to defend the salary
cutting plan as equitable or just. 1t IS
the 1essft of men who, no matter what
! their own courage or wisdom may die
, tate, have chosen the plan as about the
only one upon which Congress as
whole will agree. There are other plans
and there are more practical plans and
there are fairer plans. But to make
them applicable at this time and on
the eve of political convention is vir-
tually an impossibility. The proposal
by Senator Moses for substitution for
the pay cut of the original furlough
plan as recommended by the President
has the distinct advantage Of main
tanning salary scales, but the effect
would be TO gain . mere moral ad-
vantage for the hard-pressed Federal
employe, while there has as yet been no
clear and convincing explanation Of
how the propo.al could be practically
applied, and 1t Is . salary cut under an
other name.
The House plan OF exempting the
hrst s2,5Oo Of salary and putting into
effect an eleven per cent cut on the re-
mainder Is, Of course, preferable to the
Senate scheme. even though 1t vastly
reduces the total savings. But these
savings are Of questionable benefit to
ment, the decreased purchasing power,
!. tho effect throughout the Nation on
! the small wage earners of the pay cut
will cause more actual harm than the
good resulting from the relatively small
sum saved toward balancing the budget
, It has been demonstrated that the far
greater portion OF these savings will be
gained at the expense Of the man who
, barely IS able to exist on his present
pay. The House and Senate conferees
would do well to satisfy the demands
OF the salary cut proponents by ac-
oepting the House exemption and rate,
and steadfastly refuse to stoop lower.
