Leave Reduction Is
Not a Real EcOnOm,

To the Editor of The Star
Federal pay cuts will effect the sala-
ries of Congressman. but, speaking of
the proposed reduction in Federal en-
ployes' annual leave. will Congress ac-
cept a recess Of two weeks only? ]
wot not.
The proposed permanent reduction in
annual leave will result in giving Fed
eral employees about one weeks vaca-
ton. due to the fact that every five
minutes leave is charged against the
total leave granted and during the
course of a year it requires about a
week of leave for an employe to attend
to personal matters in the city When
an employee goes on leave others shoul-
der his work in the interim-where,
then, is there any saving by making him
work two weeks more in the hot Sum-
mer months with the temperature
around 100 degrees day after day?
Unless Congress is contemplating dis
charging employees, this part of the
economy bill will save nothing. 1t will.
of course, lose money for Washington
business men. railroads, steamship COM
panies, gasoline purveyors, etc.

ture Of impatience 1t was perhaps dra-
matte, but as an example OF economy
1t was futile. And in any case 1t will
probably not have the slightest effect
upon the course Of Congress. in respect
either to economy or early adjournment
The ITO sisners may be getting a
bit Of a kick out Of their participation
in sending it, especially since their COL
lective advice has made the first pages
of the press. and possibly that is
about all there Is to most Of the petit
tons and pleas and protests that pour
in upon Congress at every session, save
that very few of them are publicly
noted

mons that his maJesty's government
was leaving the Irish Free State wholly
out Of account in preparing for this
Summers imperial tariff conference at
Ottawa.
This announcement, which con-
jured up the possibility that Ireland
might find itself out in the cold il
the other "dominions beyond the yea"
seal an arrangement Of important
mutual benefit in their trade relations,
was apparently not without effect. The
Free State is not in position to play
lone hand in commerce, finance and
industry, especially as against Great
Britain, which is overwhelmingly its
chief and almost indispensable market.
London dispatches say the air is thick
with runors of "backdown" on both
sides. The British cabinet in particular
is being taunted by some Of its Tory
supporters for showing the white
feather to President de Valera. De-
Tending the government against charges
OF kowtowing to Dublin. Mr.. Thomas
retorts that the Macdonald ministry
has never refused to discuss matters
with the Free State, and that 1t has
simply accepted the first invitation to
do SO.
While the Ottawa tariff conference is
ostensibly the principal object of con-
ference between the British and the
Irish, it does not seem possible that
ministers from the two countries could
have their heads together without deal
ing with the fundamental problem of
the oath. For the thousandth time,
John Bulls famed genius for compro-
mise is altogether likely to win the day
1t almost always does.

Il regard it," answered Senator Sor-
ehun, "as sort of certificate of char
acter in politics. 1t at least shows that
a man hasn't been playing around with
any racketeers.'
Jud Tunkins says he's glad to see
that a plucky gal in an aviator's suit
can make a bigger hit with the Prince
of Wales than one all fixed up with
jewelry and feathers for court pres
