The Young Visitors.

The Easter invasion" of Washing
ton is under way. For hours past the
young visitors have been arriving in
the Capital and it is estimated that by
tonight no less than thirty thousand
school children from various parts of
the country will have reached here. to
remain until some time next week. This
has been for a number Of years an an
the influx has increased. This year, the
Bicentennial of George Washington's
birth, the movement of the young
people to the District has increased and
for a short time the accommodations
here will be taxed to meet the demand
for housing. But Washington has long
been experienced in caring for guests
and can make everybody comfortable
even in such a stress as the present.
These Spring tours of the school
pupils to Washington have become an
institution. The privilege of coming
to the Capital has been given as a re-
ward for faithful and studious work
and no more attractive prize could pos
sibly be offered. They come in dozens,
in scores, in hundreds, from near and
far. They come in single motor cars,
in busSes and in trains. Some come
from nearby States, some from distant
points. They are all young and en-
thusiastic The visit to the Capital is
more than picnic; it is an educational
tour and from it they derive much
profit in a better understanding of the
workings of the Government and the
inspiration Of visits to the national
. shrine at Mount Vernon.
Unfortunately Washington's crown

full force the diplomatic and CONNER
cial relations with Moscow effected by
its Socialist successor, this vast timber
deal arouses mixed emotions in Great
Britain.
The conditions under which much of
the Russian timber is cut and trans
ported are such that many Britons feel
that its import ought to be prohibited.
Resentment over a contract Of the huge
proportions in question is correspond
ingly bitter Not only will it serve to
shut out British Columbian timber
from the British market, but it will be
a heavy blow to the timber industry
in Finland and Scandinavia. These
countries. working with free labor, have
suffered gravely from the competition
Of the Russian monopoly and the ex-
ploitation by it of convict gangs and
political prisoners.
For other reasons John Bull views
the Russian timber deal with alarm.
He finds that Anglo-Soviet trade is
pretty much of a one-sided affair.
During the past five years British i'm
ports from Russia totaled $500 900, 900,
while sales to Russia amounted only
to S100,000,000 Furthermore, Britain
paid Russia in cash, while goods sold
to the Soviet were almost all sold on
credit What irks the British apDar-
emily most of all is that the huge trade
balance piled up by the Russians in
British money has been used by the
Soviet authorities to buy equipment for
the f1ve-year plan from Germany and
America, Britain's principal competi-
tors, to say nothing of the sums di-
verted for propaganda in India, China
and Britain itself.
