Perhaps conditions like these helped create
the great hobo army, marching aimlessly over
America, with no place to go-and nothing to
do on the way. There are tens of thousands in
the hobo army, young men and old, with few
women thrown in, these past few years. Some
of these hoboes are on their way "home," half
mythical location they left years ago and have
no assurance they will ever locate again. Others.
frankly dissatisfied are out for adventure A.
few actually are looking for jobs.
THE Civilian Conservation Corps has done fine
job this year. 100000 men, composing the
largest forestry army ever assembled in this or
any other country, were given jobs. Under the
direction of Robert Fechner, Director Of the
Emergency Conservation Work, these men had .
very real new start at the 1,45O Civilian Con.
servation Camps in every State except Delaware.
Over 100000 Government employees have been
affected. Hundreds of thousands Of civil service
employees, though they have been retained in
office, have had the is per cent slash which
affects all Federal salaries.
But in spite of all this, we have learned new
faith in our Government We have gained cOn-
fidence in leader who means what he says.
who knows what he is talking about and who ID
able to follow with constructive things. This
faith in the Administration has given US the
courage to come through the worst of things. II
we keep on we are bound to achieve very real
victory over depression, over catastrophe. 1t is
a real war which we are winning for American
security and American happiness.

serve to be here at home, as an indica-
ton that, to the extent which our
political system permits, there is to be
certain continuity Of American
foreign policy after March 4. Pre-
eminent in the international concerns
now engaging the thought of the Hoover
administration and the American people
are the Sino-Japanese war, the Geneva
Disarmament Conference, the forth
coming world economic and monetary
conference, and the Paraguayan-Boliv-
ian strife over the Gran Chaco. The
war debts issue is apparently left where
it was when President Hoover and
President ELECT Roosevelt agreed to dis
agree on the question of pooling their
minds prior to the advent of the Demo-
cratic administration.
Unless he cherishes views Of which
the country has hitherto had no ink
ling, Gov. Roosevelt, as arbiter in chief
Of the United States external relations,
win not turn his back on any of the
major policies adopted by his predeces-
sor. There Is no likelihood of any re-
tirement from the Hoover -Stimson doc
trine of non-recognition of territorial
situations created in defiance of treaty
obligations. That doctrine applies alike
to Manchuria and to the Gran Chaco
in South America. Nor Is it probable
that any change will be ordained in the
disarmament program to which the
United States is adhering in Geneva.
AS to the agenda which President
elect Roosevelt favors for the World
Economic and Monetary Conference,
time doubtless will be required for for
mutation of his administration views
To date, all that President Hoover has
done In that connection Is to appoint
American experts to consider with those
from other countries what might be
appropriate themes for discussion at
the conference.

The Opportunities Closed.

It was the pleasant privilege of The
Star yesterday to announce the closing
of the Twenty Opportunities by the
generous contributions Of Washing
tonians. The total amount raised in
money exceeded $10,7o0. The only
appeal to the contributors was the ap-
peal Of the cases themselves, and when
it is considered that there was no per-
sonal solicitation, that the vast ma
jority of contributors made no attempt
to satisfy themselves by personal visi-
tation or inquiry as to the condition
Of the needy families, the response was
remarkable. The Star cannot attempt
to thank the contributors, for that
would be in manner presumptuous
The contributors know, as does The
Star, the gratitude that the bene-
ficiaries ofs the fund must feel, and
that is enough. The Star does take
this opportunity to acknowledge the
help and the spirit of good will exempli-
fed on every hand by contributors who
sent their money to this Office, who
wrote or who telephoned their ap-
proval Of the presentation of the
Opportunity Fund.

Bonus March Inquiry by
Congress a Waste of Time

To the Editor Of The Star:
It Is surprising that Congress, that
has so many more important things to
consider and is trying to avoid an extra
session, should think of spending time
on such trivial thir.-' as the evacua-
ton of the B. e. F. licn Washington.
That has already been Il ted thread
bare, and the facts are we-l known.
1t is the general opinion that there
would not have been such horde here
II word had not gone out over the coun-
try that they were being sheltered and
fed. They didn't know 1t was being
done without authority from either the
Government or the city. No other city
in the United States would have sub
mitted to such an invasion as Wash
ington did. For example, the Governor
of the nearby State would not even
consent TO very few living on land
that was given to them, where they
could support themselves. If Congress
has so much time to investigate II
would be well to examine the bills for
transportation Of some of their mem
bers.
We certainly expect that our law
makers shall not abuse Government
privileges. Speaker Garner Is to be corn-

New Sales Tax Controversy
Presents Few Alternatives

has taken to heart the platform OF his
party, which means that the broad
highway back to normal conditions
means the elimination of extravaganza.
Economy is made the dominant theme
by the Oklahoma City Times and the
Hartford Daily Times. The Boston
Transcript comments: "He is known
to favor drastic economies in Govern
ment,' but so does every one else, yet
without more than a vague idea of how
they can be accomplished" The To-
peka Daily Capital advises that "theo-
retically any sales tax tends to check
consumption" and contends that that
is being demonstrated in experience
with the gasoline tax.
With a better return for labor, the
Salt Lake DeSeret News concludes that
in the future "the sales tax may well
come to be one Of the means Of main
tanning Government expense" AS to
its effect, the Portland oregon Journal
argues: "As Lord Pitt explained in pro-
posing the sales tax to my lords in
the British House of Peers, You can
tax a great many articles Of daily use
and necessity so indirectly that the
people will pay them and not know it,
And that's the idea-by a sales tax you
can tax great many articles Of daily
use and necessity so indirectly that the
people will pay them and not know it.
And the thousands upon thousands of
unemployed and partly employed and
the unemployed existing on emergency
relief-they would have to pay the sales
tax. BY that method you can tax the
last rag from the back and the last bite
from the mouth without causing a mur-
mur against high taxes"

Mr.. Roosevelt Seeks Counsel.

In the realm Of Americas foreign
affairs there has been no recent devel-
opment OF more gratifying and promis-
ing nature than Gov. Roosevelt's re-
quest to President Hoover for a con-
ference with Secretary Stinson on the
nor's desire, it goes without saying,
will be granted, and meeting between
himself and Col. Stimson is to be ar
ranged at Mr.. Roosevelts convenience.
without splitting hairs over the
why's and wherefores of this plan, or
what finally led up TO it, its execution
will in a very practical sense go far
toward carrying out the idea first
projected by President Hoover for some
form Of cooperation with his successor
in pressing matters of foreign relations.
1t is true that the President-elect de-
clined to participate specifically in set
ting up machinery" for exploration Of
the war debts. But Gov. Roosevelt
now proposes an even farther reaching
cooperation which prospectively will
range over the whole field Of current
international business, even though,
obviously, the President-to-be mainly
seeks information, as he equally obvi-
ously does not purport to inject him
self into the present conduct of over
seas affairs or commit his administra-
tion in advance to any given programs.
The impending Roosevelt -Stimson
conversations will, nevertheless, be
rightly interpreted abroad, Us they de-

death of Mr.. Coolidge leaves lapse OF
almost exactly two months before the
expiration of Herbert Hoover's term.
The number of former Presidents liv-
ing at one time has diminished in late
years, During the period from Madison
on to Grant there were never less than
two and in some cases three and four
ex-Executives. John Quincy Adams
survived through three full presidential
terms and three-quarters of q fourth.
Martin Van Buren exceeded this record,
his span of life after leaving the White
House covering the administrations of
Harrison, Tyler, Polk. Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce, Buchanan and a little more
than year Of Lincoln. The greatest
number Of ex-Presidents were living at
one time during the early part Of Lin
coins first term, when Van Buren,,
Tyler, Fillmore, Pierce and Buchanan
survived. Tyler passing nine months
from Lincoln's Inauguration and Van
Buren half year later. During Hayes
administration only Grant survived. In
Cleveland's second term only Harrison
was living, during Taft's administration
only Roosevelt.
The roster of the ex-P Presidents since
1897, when Washington yielded the
Office to John Adams, offers testimony
to the greater strain of life in the later
years. The task of the presidential Of
fee appears to have borne more hardly
upon the incumbents of the last few
decades than upon those of the earlier
times.
