group in the Presidents confidence who
are believed to be responsible for the ad-
ministration'S present monetary policies.
Recently he has been a member Of the
committee which daily fixes the price
at which the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation makes purchases of newly
mined domestic gold" The Providence
Journal concludes: Certainly in these
days the Secretaryship of the Treasury
is no place for a sick man, as Mr..
Woodin's letter of resignation makes
abundantly plain. just as surely it is a
post today demanding that eXtraordi-
nary freedom of action be granted to
the man charged with the RESPONSE
bility for its administration. It is
hoped, therefore, that Mr.. Morgenthau
has been invested with a reasonable
amount of authority to the END that
the public may know whom f. praise
if future policies are wise and whom to
blame if they are unwise"
The Acting Secretary is declared by
the Oakland Tribune to have been
considered the big man in Treasury
decisions while the Danbury News
Times believes that as IAN inventive
man" he will be helpful in finding the
new way" The Rock Island Argus sees
him "in harmony with all the financial
experiments that are being carried on"
an opinion which is voiced also by the
Scranton Times. The Gary Post-Trib-
une feels that he twill inject new life
into the Treasury The Cleveland
News places him in the position of being
"as conversant with the Presidents
monetary policies as any man in the
country" The Asbury Park Evening
Press argues that he "is too experienced
in fiscal affairs to follow policies that
might in any way impair the credit Of
the Government"

A National Music Center.

It was a gracious compliment on
Edward Johnson's part to speak of
Washington as the potential music
center Of the United States. A Cana
dian by birth, an American by ac-
climatization, his art is more to him
than a profession. He sees in music a
bulWark for the soul, and has trans
lated his ideals into forms Of fact by
endowing the music schools of his ma
tive town of Guelph, Ontario. In that
community he has made it possible for
boys and girls to have the best teaching
that money can buy, and the resultant
spiritual uplift is widely manifest. Now,
naturally enough, he wishes to see the
same experiment tried out in broader
field.
His visit to Washington gave Mr..
Johnson an opportunity to announce
his dream. He told reporters:
Every seat of government should also
be focal point for cultural activity.
The Capital of the United States
should be an example to all the other
communities Of the country, and the
arts should find their richest opportu-
mites in the city which theoretically
represents the whole Union.
Here in Washington there should be
a cultural powerhouse whose influence
could go out far and wide. reaching into
the hunlblest homes, endowing the in
tellectual and spiritual life of every in
dividual.
With the work which is being done
by the public schools. by private teach
ers. by the National Symphony Orthes.
tra S; as foundation. it should be posi-
gest. A national opera, national
academy of music. community public
skilled in discrimination and apprecia-
ton ought to be feasible
Such sentiments will be gratefully re-
ceived by thoughtful citizens One need
not be a Washingtonian to vision the
possibilities of the conception. Other
nations have endowed and sponsored
even more comprehensive programs, and
Congress which has spent public funds
in behalf of the plastic arts, literature
and the several sciences would have
ample precedent for a similar invest
ment in music. But the people of the
District of Columbia need not wait for
congressional action. If they approve
MIR. Johnson'S suggestion. they may
proceed at once to put large part of
it into effect. They may make the most
Of the facilities already available and
develop such new ones as may be nec-
essary. A great artist, who is also a
philosopher and teacher, has set them
a goal and shown them the way.

amid existing international conditions.
Immediate adoption of every measure
advocated" the chief of staff points
out, would still leave US with an or
ganized Army of approximately half the
size that Congress, after exhaustive
study Of World War experiences, deemed
necessary to the country's continued
safety"
Gen. Macarthur urges increase OF
the Regular Army's enlisted strength
from $4,000 TO 10000 men, with ade-
quate opportunity for practical field
training. He favors spending $17o. .000.-
900 for a program Of motorization, air.
craft development and modernization of
both field and anti-aircraft artilleries.
He would increase the Organized Re-
serve to 10000 officers. with a fort
nights training for at least 10000 of
them annually particularly COM
mendable suggestion. Along with sys-
tematic Organized Reserve program,
Gen. Macarthur calls for maintenance
of the National Guard at existing
strength, with forty-eight drill periods
and two weeks active training annu-
ally. He also asks for citizens mill
tary training camp program equivalent
to that of 1882, before that very valu-
able fecture became victim Of Federal
economy. There will be especial ap-
nf iof of cfo
mendation CT mediate restoration of
the fifteen per cent pay cut to enlisted
men earning less than thirty dollars
month las q means of checking deser-
tions and undermining of enlisted
morale" When Congress reaches the
point of acting on this feature of Gen.
MacArthur's proposals, it is to be hoped
that consideration will also be given to
restoration of the automatic promotions.
The chief of staffs report is a strong
brief for adequate military preparedness.
1t deserves the favorable consideration
Of the Bureau of the Budget and of
Congress. It IS not blow at disarma-
ment. The United States Army is al
ready skeletonized TO a point at which
disarmament. measured by European
Japanese standards, hardly aE7'lfS TO
this country. as Gen. Macarthur r-ehtly
emphasizes, while willingness to
abolish bombing planes and mobile ar
tillery, formally expressed at Geneva,
constitutes a tremendous contribution
to the success of the conference and one
that entails distinct sacrifice in our
own readiness for defense
The case for an adequate United
States Army could not be better put
than in Gen. MacArthur's own words:
In the obvious state of unrest now pre-
vailing in the world, evidences of which
are plainly visible in our own country,
an efficient and dependable military es-
tablishment, constantly responsive to
the will of its Government, constitutes
a rock of stability and one of nations
priceless possessions"
There is the ring of true statesman
ship in that utterance, and it should
not be ignored, in the name Of unwise
economy. by those who are charged by
the Constitution with the sacred and
paramount duty of safeguarding ma
tional defense

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

Thinking, any way you look at 1t, Is
action of some sort = so the modern
philosophy Of pep" need not be dis
appointed.
Every one knows that more can be
accompiashed; upon occasion. by wait
ing ana thinking thing over than by
any amount Of uproari0us attack upon
subject or situation.
This may seem to be getting us a
long way from the fireplace, but it is
not; 1t Is carefully conducting us to an
easy chair and placing us squarely
therein.
How happy sign Is 1t, in 1888, to
see the sellers Of chairs coming to the
realization that not all backs and legs
are Of the same lengthl
They are selling different chairs for
human beings of different physical
characteristics.
Maybe the astute man who came to
that realization got his idea while re-
posing. or attempting to rest, in chair
by fireside.
Only perhaps the chair was not COM
Portable!
Maybe it did not fit him in the least.
1t looked good. but when he sat in it
the back was too short, or the seat too
long.
He crammed a lot of future action
into half an hour of furious thinking
You never can tell about person by

Upon occasion the f1reside reveler
may be forgiven for thinking that the
best thing one could do with the radio
set is chop it up for kindling wood.
Those who perform over radio are
much too full of life, too "peppy," for
the best fireplace mood
Even the best conducted program is
too rambunctious. Why must they be
SO vigorous?
Those young men there, m some far
of studio. put such gusto into what
they do they shake the rafters Of the
room here.
Would it not be well, from time to
time. for ambitious radio entertainers
to evolve a new type of program, with
the fireside mood in mind?
No musical notes smaller than fourth
notes; ,,eat no.. no dizzy piano runs, no piping
notes and swelling chords No persons

One may suspect that real fun. even
when it is good, is something for mo-
ment, not for all the time. These per-
sons, on radio or elsewhere, who insist
on being in perpetual good humor, def
nitely make one pretty tired.

The best part of the fireside mood is
satisfaction. For few moments the
most moody of men may relax his dis

Here by the hearth, under the very
definite spell Of safely leaping flames,
he comes close to genuine satisfaction.

Hymeneal Mind Tests.
from the Newark Evening News.

From the Newark Evening News.
On the premise that one person in
every 100 is a moron, idiot or imbeciIe,
plan for bettering the race through
marriage by ticket has been worked out.
Naturally, each Cne of us knows there
is at least one mental defective in the
other SO. So it is interesting to note
how Prof. E A. Ross, head Of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin sociology depart
ment, would go about raising the stand
ard of humanity.
Marriage has been too haphaZard. A
pretty face on one side Of the contract
with the attributes of a substantial
meal ticket on the other has been re-
garded as pretty fair arrangement.
But there has been ins Ifficient con-
sideration of moronity, :mbecility or
even plain dumbness So the good pro-
fessor would have the States set up
free laboratories for the examination OF
persons desirouS of marriage. Candi-
dates would be examined and in due
time receive cards indicating how they
stand.
The finding might be a shock. For
no person would be authorized to marry
any pair not producing affidavits proving
they had exchanged cards at least
two weeks previous to presenting them
selves at the hymeneal rendezvous. The
plan seems alright and foolproof. With
all debarred from marriage who are
mentally deficient, the race should i'm
prove by leaps and bounds.
Nevertheless, love is famed for its
ability to find way. Bootleggery might
turn from one field, now distinctly less
glamorous, to O fresher and perhaps
more profitable one. And there is this
much: A party to a marriage ceremony
made possible by forged mentality test
cards would, If not before, know the
other was moron, putting it In the
most hattering rSht.

For an Adequate Army.

With forthrightness which will not
fail to challenge national attention,
Gen. Douglas Macarthur, chief of staff,
in his annual report on the state of
the country's land defenses, calls for .
substantial expansion of the United
States Army in both men and materiel.
He declared that the Army's strength at
present is below the danger line" its
equipment obsolete" and, in organized
military power, stands seventeenth
among the armies of the world.

and generous appropriations by Congress
to convert the Army into an adequate

The big storm Of last August proved
anew the truth Of the old saying, Its
an i'll wind which blows no one good"
Trees blown down In suburban gar
dens now provide plenty of fuel for
Sawed into appropriate lengths, ouch
wood is fireplace food.
Surely there is no more. voracious
NAV in the world than the average
wood burning hearth.
1t must be fed to function.
The amount of fodder such a system
demands depends, happily, entirely on
the will of a mind outside itself.
This is fortunate for the house
holder.
If his favorite fireplace had any say
in the matter, he feels sure it would
cry aloud for more and better rations.
It would demand that its warmth Of
its system be kept up at all hours. not
Just the few when the human beings
who sit around it desired.
Yet there lies the real charm Of the
modern fireplace, as distinguished from
that of the old days.
1t Is q part-time proposition.
In George Washington's day they had
nothing much else with which to keep
themselves warm.
Efficient and huge firesides were
needed then for a very decided and
definite purpose.
Today the average home hearth is
partly ornamentation, partly utility.
One operates 1t as one desires, and
not out Of necessity, in the majority OF
cases.
To regard it as a useful proposition
only is to miss something.
The true essence Of the modern fire
side is loafing at ones ease, let those
say otherwise who will.
The world is too afraid Of the verb
''to loaf" Although its entomology Is
vague. its meaning is well known, and
gets back to idle"
Amid peoples brought up to work, such
words have little standing, but human
beings always have loafed, or idled away
their time, in all ages, and amid all
classes.
The phrase TO kill time" Is known
the world around What is one mans
work is another mans idling.
There are no hard and last lines, but
intent is everything
The fine thing about the fireplace in

place for gracious idling.
No matter how much credence Is
given the philosophy of work. before
the hearth there is general allegiance
of it.
Every one who sits there. for any
length of time, becomes a disciple Of
Stevenson, man of prodigious labor, yet
who knew enough to produce glorious
Apology for Idlers."
Fortunately not even an apology is
needed by the fireside. although the
ladies from time to time may pick up a
bit of knitting, the menfolk hold a book
in hand.
The freside is, with many, the last
stand of the human mind
The theory of action has been car
ried to such lengths that many moderns
positively fear to be inactive for even
few minutes.
Yet the mind flowers in seeming in
action.
There is no need to give instances,
famous ones of history are known to
every one.
What seems inacticn, to another, may
be action to the thinker.
And there are, Of course many kinds
Of thinking.
There is active thought, inactive
thought, in way Of putting 1t.

State governments unprepared. It is
for that reason the administration has
been forced into the adoption Of plans
for stringent Federal control.
The criticism will be rnade--it al
ready has been made-taat the Federal
Government is seeking to maintain
control over the liquor traffic, which
the people have sought to turn back to
the States by voting for repeal Of the
eighteenth amendment. It seems OBJ
vious, however, that there must be
control by the Federal Government, at
