A Gratifying Decision.

The decision of the American Power
Boat Association which cleared nine
American outboard drivers Of unfair
tactics in the Green Trophy race re-
Gently held at Miami Beach will doubt
less be hailed with enthusiasm, not
only by the pilots themselves. but by
the American water sports public, which
ooes not condone unsportsmanlike tao
TICS In international or national racing.
The charges were that a British entry
had been "lured" across the starting
line by Americans who were not ad-
verse to disqualifying themselves If they
could be sure that the foreigner met
the same fate, leaving the race to be
won by one of their number. The other
and more serious charge was that the
motor Of an Italian driver had been
tampered with so that he could not
compete.
In announcing the incident closed,
George Townsend, president of the as
ISOLATION, said:
Foreign drivers when they honor uc
by their visits are going to be assured
as square deal as we expect them to
give our pilots who enter overseas
events. Drivers who act contrary to
this principle will be driven perma-
nently from the sport.
1t is to be hoped that the association
will be successful in its efforts to elm
mate unfair practices in motor boat
racing. 1t is thoroughly an amateur
sport and should be conducted on the
highest standards. One of the most
conspicuous cases of recent years in
which charges Of trickery were lodged,
but we're vigorously denied, was that of
the Harmsworth Trophy race in Detroit
for world champion speed honors be-
tween the famous Gar and George Wood
of the United States and Kaye Don, the
English driver. Don had whipped the
Wood brothers decisively in the first
two heats. On the third and final heat,
however, Gar Wood beat" the start
ers gun for the first time in his quar-
ter of century of racing and Don in
Miss England II followed him, both OF
them being automatically disqualified.
George Wood in Miss America VIII
then went ahead and won the race
without competition. This was an un-
pleasant affair and probably n>Sked
the era of close supervision over th%
conduct of drivers by the Power Boat
Association which resulted in the in
vestigation conducted after the race at
Miami. To win for America is fine, but
to win by tricky practices reflects no
,redit on this Nation.

The Emergency Relief Fund.

The Commissioners have acted wisely
and in the best interests of the COM
munity in deciding to put the weight OF
their influence behind the proposed ap-
preparation of municipal funds for aug
menting relief and welfare work. 1t is
believed that their recommendations,
backed by the undeniable facts sup
porting the seriousness of the existing
situation, will impress the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee with the need
for the appropriation, and it Is also be-
lieved that members of the House, given
more opportunity to investigate, will
eventually agree
In nearby Baltimore and in practi-
cally every large city of the country
public funds are being used to meet the
emergency of unemployment. In such
cities as Detroit it is no longer a ques-
tion of what the appropriation of pub
JIG funds can do to supplement private
or voluntary relief work. but of what
private charity can do to supplement
the work accomplished through appro-
pristion Of public funds. Public funds
are bearing the lions share Of the load
Washington's effort to take care Of the
enormously increased burden of relief
and welfare work without resort to the
uss Of municipal funds threatens to de-
plete the Community Chest, leaving the
constituent member organizations facing
the alternatives of abandonment of a
large part of their work or OF shutting
shop.
1t is unthinkable that Congress will
adjourn without taking the necessary
action to protect the city over which it
exercises exclusive control against the
alarming prospect of complete break
down of relief and welfare work this
Summer and next Winter.

Our Shakespeare Shrine.

Through the munif1cence Of the late
Henry Clay Folger and his widow and
their selection of the National Capital
as its appropriate site, Washington to-
day becomes formally the poSSessor OF
another Jewel in its rapidly expanding
crown of architectural glory. The
Folger Shakespeare Library fittingly
takes its place among those other sym
bols which venerate Americas immor-
tails. the Washington Monument and
the Lincoln Memorial
The Bard of Avon was an English
man. but he long since ceased to belong
exclusively to Britain. If the English
speaking race, whose seed fertilizes both
hemispheres. has common heritage
that may indisputably be claimed by
all its branches, it is William Shake
speare. The American people pay him
homage in the proud pretension that
he is as much of their cultural bone
and sinew as the island that is privi-
legged to call him native son.
So on this hree-hundred and-sixty
eighth birthday anniversary of the
genius who did most to breathe power
and beauty into the English tongue
are opened the portals Of marble
temple whose classic grandeur ideally
personifies the splendor Of him in whose
honor it is reared The Folger Library
will be fillsd with a priceless collection
of shakespeariana-original folios. mar
uscripts, prints, portraits, furniture and
ntner relics automatically associated
with the bard. A theater equipped for
special Shakespearean productions IN
an atmosphere redolent of the best
Fllzabethan traditions will permit deV-
otees of the eternal Will to worship
at his shrine in spirit Of true rev.
erence.
The Folger Library is the gift OF It's
generous donors to the whole Nation,
That it will be a mecca to which Will
stream in pious regard generations OF
Americans yet unborn can be set down
in terms of confident prophecy. To all
and sundry connected with its concep-
ticn and its realization Washington
and the American people owe debt of
endless gratitude. Shakespeare lives on
in the heart of all mankind. To have
this magnificent token of his greatness
In our midst is to be assured that the
Inspiration which flows from his in
comparable muse will be as enduring
as the slAmmering stone from which
the memorial is heWn.

able. We are learning that money is
not a commodity. as we were once
taught we begin to understand that
humanity is unit, with common prob

We are not learning as quickly as we
ought to, perhaps, because it is hard to
discard old credos and moldy maxims,

Is This Economy?

How many so-called economy steps
are in principle similar to what is plan
ned in connection with the preparation
of plans for the Municipal Center?
How many dollars are being put down
on paper as saved today, merely to
pass on added and heavier expenses
for the budgets of a few years hence?
1t is only reasonable to expect that
the actual construction Of the Munich
pal Center buildings will be delayed
The needs Of the community must be
considered relatively, and money that
might be spent on construction of the
elaborate marble halls Of the Municipal
Center group can well be turned, now,
into other channels.
But the preparation of plans is an
other matter entirely. The prepa-
ration Of these plans meant the as
sembly and the training Of a large
group of architects and craftsmen at
considerable expense, and these archi-
tects have practically completed the
plans for the first unit. The money
was provided in the current appropri-
alton bill to complete the plans for
the second unit. These plans, it is
estimated, could be completed at
cost Of about s85,000 and there is
available about s130.000.
The Commissioners, however have
decided to abandon work on the plans
May /, IN order TO save the money that
otherwise would be spent on plans for
the second unit. This means that the
architects and craftsmen, comprising
large force of men familiar with the
scheme as whole, will be disbanded.
They will leave half complete a job
that, at some future date, must be
taken up again by an entirely new
force. This new force must be assem-
bled and trained and then put to work
to carry out the second half of the
plan. The resulting total cost will
thereby be materially increased.
With money already appropriated
and with the force of trained tech
nicians familiar with the work already
assembled, it would certainly represent
sound economy in the end TO proceed
with the completion of the plans. 1t is
difficult to believe that, even with a
possible lapse Of ten years before the
actual construction of the second unit
is to begin, the plans now prepared
would be out of date, Or as suggested
at the District Building, fail to win
the approval Of some later Board of
Commissioners. If that is true, the
plans already prepared for the first
unit might as well be torn up now at
a loss of many thousands of dollars.
The wise procedure would be to take
advantage Of the present force of archi-
tects and craftsmen, familiar with the
work as whole and let them proceed.
Such action would save, in the emo,
several thousand dollars.

Is the Capital a Crime Center?

Have the Chicago gangsterS trans
ferred their activities 10 Washington?
This question Is suggested by the nu-
merous crimes that have lately been
committed in this city which bear the
eaEmsrks Of the reprisals between rack
eteers that have for many months made
the Windy City a scene of slaughter

From Bad to Worse.

Thanks to the interference OF a small
coterie in the House Of Representatives
who apparently have been successful in
nullifying the orderly and reasonable
administration Of the Public Utilities
Commission, which they themselves set
up, the taxicab situation in Washington
has gone from bad to worse. Congress
at this session instead OF giving the
commission additional powers to regu-
late the chaotic conditions obtaining in
the National Capital-authority that
was sorely needed and which is pos
sessed by regulatory bodies in every
other large city in the country-seeks
to strip from the commission every
vestige Of control that 1t has, particu-
larly relating to taxicsbs, by deciding
that meters shall not be installed on
public vehicles despite the order OF the
commission and the approval of the
court.
AS direct result OF Congress refusing
to back up the commission it created,
Washingtonians were treated to the
specta lie recently of cab driver being
dismissed in court for what his passen-
ger claimed was overcharging because
the Federal City alone does not have an
official rate scale. In other words, taxi
drivers are in effect given permission to
charge anything they please and pas
sengers need expect no redress in court.
AS matter Of fact, the defendant in
this case admitted naively that he made
his own zones because his car used up
lot more gas than some of the other
publ vehicles
Few will argue that in city the size
of Washington control Of the taxicab
industry should be allowed to get so far
out of hand that drivers cannot only
make their own rates, but possess like
wise an immunity to the vital require
ment of financial responsibility for the
victims OF thsir own negligence and reck-

large section of the District q short

large section Of the District short
time ago and no one has been identified.
1t is not reflection upon the police
of the city that these crimes have gone
on so freely. The force is not large
enough to cover the District effectively
and, furthermore, the marauders have
the advantage of speed to make quick
getaways after their depredations. But
those that have been caught have not
had the swift treatment at the hands of
the law that is demanded in the interest
of the public safety. The ordinary
processes of the courts have not been
speeded. Perhaps in the existing condi-
tions of the law they cannot be quick
ened. A drastic amendment of the rules
and practices is necessary to effect
clearance of the calendars of court to
the end of prompt application OF the
penal code.
These crimes in which gangsters
alone figure are not tolerable because
the victims are themselves beyond
I4lC pd4C VI lIiS law. i lle oOWH
of a man known to be engaged in
nefarious business is not to be condcned
for that reason. If the crooks can take
the law into their own hands in execu-
ton Of their own equally crooked
enemies they can, and will. &2y without
check or fear others who are innocent
of any wrongdoing, peaceful citizens,
whose only offense is the possession of
cash or other valuables that are to be
had for the taking at the point of
gun.
Effective measures must be devised to
make Washington a dangerous place for
the prosecution of gang operations, else
the Capital will acquire the lamentable
disrepute of a city of refuge for the
lawless. Time was when a murder was
sensation. Now it is almost a COM
monplace. That may be due to causes
generally prevalent throughout the
country. 1t is, however, a fact that de-
mands consideration, with view to
correction, as local problem.

Sinitzin Says Chaplin
Statement Was Wrong
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Evening Star of April 8. that
has just reached me, I have found an
article describing my misfortune, in
which my relation to the democracy
was represented in quite wrong way
According to the words OF DR.. E. A
Chaplin quoted by the article, I failed
since the Red revolution in Russia to
adjust himself (mySelf) to the demo-
cratic order of things" while during
the cZarist regime "he ID was free to
follow his (my) science without inter
ference" Everyone who knows me, in
cluding the authorities of the Ameri-
caniZation School Association, knows
also that hate every kind of dictator
ship, whether 1t Is called car, or Mus
solini, or proletariat; that I came to
America in quest of the democratic re-
gime to which I always felt a deep SYM
pathy. The only thing that ! could
not stand. and for which my beloved
wife has paid with her life. is such an
order of things when a scientist is de-
MED his right to a free expression of
his opinion within his specially. But
such an order of things is not necessar-
lily connected with democracy: like a
cancer 1t can develop within every gov
crnment though otherwise healthy.
