that no presidential veto would run
against the beer bill, that would have
been another matter 1t might have
been discounted by those who heard 1t
and who reported it as merely another
burst Of enthusiasm. But choosing as
he did the White House as the scene
for his statement, the Illinois Repre-
sentative left the President in posi-
ton of allowing Mr.. Britten's state
ment to stand, with all its implications,
or of denying that he had made any
commitment to the Illinois Represent
ative on the subject. Had no word
come from the White House, the coun-
try would have been justified in be-
lieving that the President had made up
his mind to sign beer bill and had
SO informed Mr.. Britten. Undoubtedly
the country will know from the Presi-
dent in his own time what he intends
TO do about beer bill, and that may
not be until the Congress has acted
upon the matter
The White House steps have been
made a sounding board from which
Senators and Representatives have un-
dertaken many times in the past to
broadcast their views. Now and then,
as In the case of Mr.. Britten, they have
undertaken to broadcast the views OF
the President And in many such in
stances the Chief Executives have felt
forced to assert their right to speak
for themselves.

The Metropolitan Passes.

The Metropolitan Hotel may never
have been THE pride of Washington, a"
as sentimental historians of the hostel
ry have said but 1t was conspicuous
enough to justify little warmth in the
hearts Of those who remember its long
banlshed grandeur. It is not the
house proper that is now to be de-
molished. 1t is only its bedraggled
shadow, long a-dying.
Seen today, as it is in the hands of
the auctioneer, the Metropolitan is q
time-stained ruin. 1t is difficult to real
lie that until a few weeks ago it
housed human beings, that people ac-
tually made their temporary homes
within its batteref walls. Crime which
appears to be generations old covers
all its surfaces. Huge in area, ram
bling in structure, 1t contradicts every
latter-day standard of construction. A
monument of waste, the wonder is that
it has endured so long.
But Abraham Lincoln, it is said, re-
sided in the house when a member of
the House of Representatives. Other
great men signed its roster of guests
For their sake Washington momentari-
ly bows a reverent head A scene OF
human tragedy and sorrow, comedy
and happiness, the Metropolitan had
its place and its function in the city
as it used to be. 1t will be forgotten,
and that will be kind. But also it will
be remembered, and that, too, will be
courteous, just and fair.

Unemployment Insurance.

The Executive Councils recommenda-
ton that the American Federation of
Labor commit itself TO compulsory un-
employment insurance through action
by the States probably overshadows, in
public interest, the other points in
labors program as outlined at Cincin-
matt For the recommendation is a
reversal of the policy laid down at Van
couver, only year ago, when President
Green construed unemployment insur-
ance as death blow at unionism" and,
in accordance with organized labors
traditional stand on unemployment in
surance, opposed it. No less interesting
is Mr.. Green's own explanation Of the
reversal OF policy. II was made, he
says, because "our warning that the
Nation must provide work for the un-
employed or unemployment relief In
stead Of supplying temporary jobs for

idle people . has not been needed.
What simple thing 1t would be II
calamity could be prevented by needing
warningsl
There is much to be said in favor of
unemployment inSurance-and there
will never be such insurance unless 1t
is in some manner made compulsory
but the American Federation OF Labor's
approach to the problem cannot be
said to be entirely logical As in other
insurance. the insured should, at the
time of application for the policy, show
the ordinary signs Of sound health and
indicate normal prospects for continued
life. The sick man does not make a
very good risk, and at this moment
labor, along with everybody else, is a
rather sick man. OF all the remedial
steps that must be taken If this coun-
try is to survive, and 1t cannot survive
without widespread employment of
labor at good wages, unemployment
insurance presents itself as the policy
to be inaugurated in good times rather
than bad. Its advantages lie in pre-
vention, rather than cure. 1t would be
a doubtful expedient, indeed. if regarded
as a restorative. And labor's attitude,
as exemplified as recently as a year
ago at Vancouver and this year at
Cincinnati, raises the natural question
whether return to good times and
something like normal employment
would not again prejudice organize labor
toward something that, In good times,
it has regarded with suspicion.

that the existing administration and

face something of a crisis IN interna-

L once received a letter from a good

four times over If those who have
would do their full duty the Community
Chest would be filled to overf1owing.
There are some with wealth who are
giving their share, while there are 9TH
ers just as able who could give enough
to make up the call.
Don't go down for nickel contribu-
tions; dig out doliarsl You won't know
the difference a hundred years from

the poor as to die and leave it for some

The Latest Interpreter.

Representative Fred Britten OF Hi
nois, ardent supporter Of beer, is the
latest visitor to tie White House seek
ing to interpret the intentions of the
President with regard to legislation
which has not reached him. MI Britten,
emerging from the presidential Office,
told the world that the President would
sign a beer bill if 1t were presented to
him. And promptly from the secre-
tary TO the President came a state
ment declaring that the President had
declined to discuss the subject with
AGr. Britten.
Too often members Of Congress, advo-
Gates Of special causes. visit the White
House and undertake to act as inter
prefers for the Chief Executive. The
President of the United States, II he has
q statement to make on an important
subject, quite naturally prefers to make
1t in his own time, in his own way and
In his own words. Mr.. Britten seems TO
have been a victim of his own enthu-
siasn. 1t is quite likely that Mr.. Britten
may have laid before the President his
views on beer and its possible value as
a revenue raiser and a Stimulant TO
temperance. The Illinois Representative
went to the White House intent upon
telling the Chief Executive what he
thought about the matter. But it Is
quite as reasonable to suppose that the
President declined to tell Mr.. Britten
what he would do about beer bill If 1t
came to him. Indeed according to the
White House statement, that is just
what happened.
Mr.. Britten, when he said at the
White House that he was confident that
the President would not veto beer
bill II 1t we're sent TO him, carrying
proper safeguards against return o.
the saloor was expressing his owr
hope But coming as IL did, immedi'
stely after his visit to the President anc
on the threshold of the White Hous'
Offices, Mr.. Britten's statement had al
the weight Of an announcement Of thI
Presidents stand IN this matter. I
Mr.. Britten had risen on the floor o
IA House and expressed the opdnio'
