More Politics.

Differences between the adminlStra-
ton and Congress over the extent of
veterans compensation, complicated by
desire on the part of some of the
Senators to have Congress in session
when debt day" arrives tomorrow,
prevented a final adjournment of the
special session last night. Last March
Congress, not having the courage to
tackle the question of curtailing vet
erans' compensation, which had grown
to a billion dollars a year, delegated
this unpopular job to the President.
Since that time the members Of Con-
gress have heard from the veterans.
Furthermore, the administration of the
cuts in compensation by the Veterans
Administration. in individual cases, has
been unfair to men who were disabled
In combat service, and this unfairness
has been seized upon as an excuse for
an attack upon the whole program of
economy in veterans expenditures ad-
vocated by the President.
Justice should be done the veterans.
No men in the Nation deserve so well
at the hands of the American people.
Those who were disabled as a result of
their military service must be generously
treated. But those veterans whose dis
abilities have no service connection
whatever fall into different category.
Unfortunately politics has crept into the
situation. Favors for veterans have
been sought from Congress and mem
bers of that body have not been free
from the knowledge that opposition to
those favors would bring political dis
favor. President Roosevelt courageously
took a stand against such political
favors. But some Of the members Of
Congress are made of less stern stuff
They are now seeking In part to undo
what they did when they permitted the
economy act to go through the Con-
gress, giving the President the authority
to deal drastically with veterans COM
pensation.
The impasse between the Senate and
the President over veterans compensa-
tion has played into the hands of those
Senators who are looking for oppor-
tunity to assail the foreign debtor ma
tions and to criticize the Roosevelt ad-
ministration if it should appear that
the President is willing in any way to
make easier terms for the debtors. The
war debts have long been a political
foot ball. In that respect the foreign
nations have been far greater offenders
than the United States. The debts are
honest debts, due this country. But it
seems particularly unwise and unfair
for members Of the Senate. who have
not all the facts, to seek to hamper
the President in meeting this issue; un-
fair for these Senators to seek to make
political capital for themselves when
SO much is at stake for the recovery Of
the Nation and the world in the London
Economic Conference today.

The Congressional Scrap Book.

The freedom Of the congressional
press has been often abused through
the insertion in the Record Of matters
that do not pertain at all to pending
legislation and sometimes by the ex-
tension of the leave to print" to in
clude material that Is actually improper
Such case has just been brought to
light through the straightforward and
honorable apology of a member of the
Senate for the printing in the Record
of a speech delivered by a non-member
Of that body in, Of course, place out
side of the Senate chamber. He ac-
knowledged that he had not read the
speech but had requested its inclusion
in the Record on the strength of his
belief that its author would not reflect
upon other members of the Senate. It
was, however, obnoxious in that respect
and he therefore asked that the Offend
ing matter be stricken from the Record
and that no reprints of it be made for
| circulation.
The Congressional Record is supposed
to be transcript of the proceedings
of the two houses, a report of the de-
bates. 1t is not and has not for years
been such a transcript, for daily, dur
ing the sessions, speeches actually de-
ivered on the floor are withheld for
later inclusion and when printed are
found to contain matter that was not
spoken on the floor. The "leave to
print" has been extended to include a
great range of matter, much of it orig
mating from elsewhere than the mem
bership Of either House or Senate, not
relevant to the subjects of the debates
and in some instances without reference
to pending questions.
The result Of this broad extension OF
the leave to print has made of the
Congressional Record a veritable scrap
book, perhaps interesting to some, but
adding heavily to the printing bill Of
j Congress. The incident Of the printing

Esperanto Best for
International Radio
o the Editor of The Star:


Those of your readers who found
dif1culty in following the broadcast Of
King Georges address of welcome Mon
day may be interested in knowing that
a similar difficulty at the opening of
the Wembley Exposition was overcome
by rebroadcasting the Kings speech in
Esperanto. The English broadcast had
been unintelligible in Switzerland. but
the Esperanto was perfectly understood
and by this means the Swiss papers OBJ
tanned their only copies Of the address.
To the clear and simple vowel sys-
TEN of Esperanto is due the superiority
OF this international language both for
telephone and radio use: and this was
one Of the reasons for its official adop-
ton for international communication
by the radio amateurs of the world at
their meeting in Paris some years ago.
Your readers may also be interested
in knowing that M. Herriot, whose re-
cent visit to Washington is fresh In
their memory. was for years president of
the Lyons Esperanto Society.

| An interesting little fish is the copeina
| guttata, which, in the home aquarium,
evolves q method of defense strangely
| familiar.
If a fish of different family, such
as a barbus, takes nip at his fms,
as these sparkling little fellows will do,
| the copeina turns and swimS right
| along with the school.
He goes along with the crowd, SO
that the observer takes him for a rosy
barb, and those swift swimmers tend
to lose him by the same maneuver.
An observer, sitting by the tank won
ders how a tiny fish managed to think
up such a trick, at once so practical
so theoretically correct-and so blamed
human.
The members of the tribes of man
kind have been practicing exactly the
same maneuver for generations.
Go along with the crowd.
1t Is a practical piece of major tao
tics one which works, and which in
time gives the practitioner a feeling Of
self esteem.
1t works best in civilization
In America we call it Standardization
A few years back there was a great
hue and cry about Standardization" :"
as though it were some new thing
under the sun.
About the only new thing was the
name, as used to specify the monkey
imitation of man by man.
It takes a brave man, indeed, just
as it does a brave fish, to be individual.
Being individual mostly means doing
what one wants to do. There one
treads dangerous ground, of course
Many persons unfortunately want to do
what the crowd, as a crowd, has de-
cided that it does not desire them to do
Here is the problem and here the
difficulty; if the problem and the dif-
ficulty rested there, both would be
difficult enough, but commonly men
want conformity in everything. They
demand it as much in neckties as In
morals, in sports as in thinking.
Even ones motives must accord with
those of the mass OF people. Let us
see. Suppose you appear at your place
of work Monday morning with swell
case of sunburn.
It Immediately attracts notice.
"Where'd va get the sunburn?" some
one asks.
If you reply with some sport, such
as tennis, or swimming, or golf, you
are a regular fellow.
You are all right.
You have secured your popular col:
grafton in one of the popularly ap-
proved ways.
The suntan, you see, must be Incl
dental
Dare to say, "Oh, just sat out In
the sun for the pleasure of it,
Then see and feel the weight Of mob
displeasure in a mild form.
1t will range all the way from look
of pity or weak contempt to open
criticism.
A sport, you see, is practical; the
beneficial aspects Of the suns rays are
purely theoretical.
Even today, in 1888, the man who
likes the feel of sunshine well enough
to take it straight, for its own sake,
had better keep his motives to himself.
In the minds of millions Of human
beings the sun has been so associated
with the idea of outdoor sports that
they do not understand that the great
orb has nothing at all to do with ten
mis-, or golf, or whatnot.
They want you to conform to their
ideas, and you do, If you are sensible
or are not too stubborn for your own
good
The genius is the only exception; he
may brave the popular scorn.

The statesmen of the Nation gayly met
and said "Hello"
And now we see them falter with a pro-

The greetings were so cheering! But it's
hard to say "Good-by!"
As the twilight softly fingers at the

And moonlight with its mystic charm

We sadly fear the dreaming which may
in the the future lie.
The greetings were so cheering! But

of the government in Washington
at the news that the Greek authori-

the request for Insults extradition,
and continued that this made it ap-

The Greek government could get
out of the embarrassing situation, if
it so desired, by inviting insult to
leave the country within a stipulat-
ed time. By law the minister Of the
interior may deport any person 'if
undesirable for social or public rea-
sons" However, Insults lawyers

could not remove him without cast
