The Circle Problem
Traffic and Beauty

The plans for rearangemen of Thomas Circle eliminate
traffic difficulties in the vicinity hold great promise for the
expedtng of at least portion of the cty's traffic.
The large number Of circles with their convergng
and and the number of small parks in Washington
have long been recognized contributing nightly the
traffic problem.
Naturally the city wants to preserve these circles and
small parks They should be retained if the city is
lose one Of its most beautiful attractions.
Nevertheless those who believe in preserving them must
to the conclusion that method of treatment
necessary they to permitted to interfere
seriously with the movement of traffic.
The treatment which District officials propose accord
to Thomas Circle will not detract greatly from its beauty
1t will the other hand greatly facilitate the movement
Of north and south traffic Fourteenth Street will
allow greater margin of safety for both pedestrians and
motorists who must pass the circle.

LISTEN, WORLD!

SIMPLEST ACT, THERE ARE
MILLIONS OF REA S ON s.
REASONS THAT GO BACK TO
OUR BIRTH, AND THE BIRTH
OF OUR FATHERS BEFORE
US-REASONS SO TANGLED
THAT THERE NEVER YET
WAS A MAN WHO COULD
TRACE THEM TO THEIR
SOURCE.
Literally, God alone knows
why we do anything.
Yet you think you can pro-
duce, in five minutes, the simple
and complete reason why you
pulled a boner. Should your
face be red!
No, you can't explain. And
there's no use trying. And the
bigger the boner, the more fool
you'll make of yourself if you
try to make it all plain.
And that fact is going to
make you m g h ty heartsick,
Stranger, when you first dis
cover it. For a while you'll feel
a loneliness such as you never
felt before-a bitterness and be-
Wilderment-and chances are.
like many another fine soul,
you'll pick yourself a hole and
crawl in for a while. Then, if
you have sense, you'll go on to
the next lesson
YOU'LL REALIZE THAT IF
THIS THING IS TRUE OF
YOU, 1T IS ALSO TRUE OF
EVERYONE ELSE.
Every man lacks the key to
his own mystery. Every man
is a prisoner in the dark laby-
rinth of himself. But, if you
look at it right, that's a blessed
bond. as we'll as a reason for
bewailin'.
After all, why did you want
to explain? So you could come
nearer to the other human
stand inside the warmth Of his
affection and respect and so
soothe the pangs of your own
h u m Ii tt n and loneliness.
Wasn't that the reason?
BUT COULD ANY POSSIBLE
EXPLANATION RING YOU
TWO AS NEAR TOGETHER
AS THE REALIZATION OF
YOUR MUTUAL DUMBNESS?
OF coure it couldn't. There
you are, both in the dark.
What does it matter if you
can't explain your individual
acts. so long as you can hold
each others hands, comfort
each others hurts? Love
that's the great thing. Friend
liness and tolerance-they need
neither understanding nor ex-
planation, and they are within
the reach of the slowest brain.
So don't try to explain your
self. Accept yourself humbly:
give yourself generously: and
for the sake of your own fool
ishness, be kind to the other
fools. That's all the wisdom
you need.

Real Friendship Rare

Many of those whom you con-

And you yourself are not so

AS soon as you must sacrifice

Balance of Trade
This is the merchant ma
rine which we have been
building with Government
aid in recent years. 1t helps
to put us on a more equal
footing in competition with
other nations in the world
markets.
With the aid Of this mer-
chant marine, our country
can get its fair share in the
revenues growing out Of the
world 8 carrying trade. These
revenues help to turn the
b alance of international
trade in our favor.
Hundreds Of thousands of
American wage earners all
over the country are given
employment by the mainte-
nance Of such a merchant
marine.
And when the next war or
the next national emergency
comes, we shall not be de-
pendent on foreign shipping
for naval auxiliaries to
strengthen our national de-
fense and maintain our COM
merce.
What are we going to do
with these modern "Savan-
nahs" which carry the prod
ucts Of our farms and fac
tories under the American
flag up and down the trade
routes of the world?
The Tiger Is
Ready to Smile
From an American point
of view this question of
American shipping is one of
the most vital that is going
to be raised by foreign mari
time powers at the World
Economic Conference soon to
meet in London.
Already foreign shipping
interests are challenging the
revival of America mer-
chant marine. But Senator
Copeland of New York
knows the reason why. He
told the Sixth National
Conference on the Merchant
Marine at it's recent meet
ing in Washington that:
"The recent wGil from
London about subsidies
paid to American ship
ping is little less than
hypOcritical. Indeed, it is
laughable to haUe a Brit
Usher find fault uUith ship
subsidies. IF anybody in
the World has been gen.

thorized, when the House
adopts the joint resolution
recently piloted through the
Senate by Senator George Of
Georgia, to add a new ami
versary to the National Cal
endar of American Patriot
ism.
By the terms Of the George
resolution, May % Of each
year is to be designated and
known as National Maritime
Day. And the President will
issue every year a proclama-
ton calling for the display
on that day of the Stars and
Stripes on all Government
buildings and at every Amer
lean home.
1t would seem to be high
time for this country to give
it's growing merchant marine
an annual birthday party
and the date proposed by
Senator George for this cele-
bration is an appropriate
choice.
Shipping Lessons
From the Past
1t was on May %, 1919,
that the steamship Savannah
put out from Savannah, Ga,
for London. From there she
continued her voyage to st.
Petersburg, and thence home
to New York. This was the
first successful transoceanlc
voyage under steam propul-
sion.
Instead Of building more
Savannahs, we kept on build
inc more sailing ships. We
outbuilt and outranked all
our competitors in that type
of vessel. Our success was
great while it lasted but 1t
did not survive the civil war.
Nineteen years after our
Savannah made her famous
crossing Of the Atlantic, Brit
ain began the building Of Sa-
vannahs of her own. In lo4O
she subsidized t e a m S h lp
companies to all parts OF the
world. Then began the up
building of that modern
m merc h ant marine which
the British flag supreme to-
day on the trade routes OF
the world.
After the civil war, our
merchant marine continued
to wane as we concentrated
on the building up Of trade
empire within our national
boundaries.
When the Spanish-Amerl-
can war came, we were com
PEELED to 60 into the open
market and purchase mer-
chant ships for use as naval
xuxiliaries.
When, under the presi-
dency of the first Roosevelt,
that great American sent our
fleet around the world, IN
1908, we were compelled to
charter foreign colliers to get
it around the world.
A Lesson From
The Great War.
When the Great W. ar
broke, in 1914, we awoke one
morning to find that 80 per
cent of our commerce had
been carried by the merchant
ships Of foreign countries.
Sudden withdrawal of this
tonnage paralyzed our COM
merce. The products Of our
farms and our factories over
flowed our warehouses, piled
up on our docks, and filled
freight cars that stretched in
land from every port for
many miles.
After nearly a century, it
seemed that we had finally
learned the lesson Of the
Savannah. We began to
build. We built so fast that,
as one of our shipping ex-
perts has described this ex-
traordinary achievement:

DREAMS SHATTERED
AS WORLD PARLEY
HITS MONEY ROCK
Nations Came to London With
High Hopes But Visions
Fade Before Reality
(By The Associated Prees)

Dreams Of an economic Utopia
wherein fairly-priced goods would
move freely and there would be few
problems Of debts and unbalanced
currencies were brought to the world
economic conference just "a days ago
by delegates from all parts Of q suf-
fering world.
These visions of economic equality,
stabilized currencies, higher prices,
controlled production, freer trade, CO.
operation, capital movements, and
economic equilibrium have largely
vanished-so far as the world as q
whole is concerned.
Most Of the 66 delegations were
ready to abandon this huge assem-
blage, which in the words of the
League Of Nations preparatory COM
mission was called to seek "com-
prehensive program of world recon-
struction.' Seemingly irreconcilable
views on one problem they set out to
solve, stabilization, caused them to
throw up their hands.
Six Topics Listed
While the agenda commission listed
six major topics-monetary and credit
policy, policies, resumption of move
ment OF capital, restrictions on inter-
national trade, tariff and treaty pol
icy, and organization of production
and trade-each delegation of states
men and experts had formulated its
own prescriptions for the worlds ills.
Broadly, they seemed to agree that
few adjustments would bring back
prosperity.
1-Readjustment of currency ex-
change levels.
2-Lowering Of trade barriers.
@Price and production stability.
But from the start the first point
on the preparatory commissions
agenda. the gold standard, was the
stumbling block.
Most Of the suggestions the various
representatives brought, optimistical-
ly, to the parley got no farther than
the first general explanations offered
by delegation spokesmen at the initial
plenary sessions.
