ton club. ousted from q major league

ton club, ousted from . major league
through a reduction in the circuit, took
membership in a minor organization
and proceeded to win game after game
to reach point so far out in front
that the race was a farce. Attendance
at the games fell of steadily until only
a few score were present from day to
day to witness the familiar spectacle Of
victory. The club went into the hands
Of a receiver because Of this lack Of
competition and patronage.
A tight race with any one Of four or
five teams potential pennant winner,
with jump from the second division to
the top Of the list possible within a
week, is the ideal Of the base ball
magnates. The present contest in the
American League may develop into that
sort Of competition. Clubs that are now
In slump may suddenly take on new
life and snap out of the doldrums of
defeat. while clubs that are now in the
lead may falter and drop back The
hope here is, Of course, that Washington
will hold its position to the end of the
season. But If 50, 1t will have been a
better race and more conducive to public
interest and more profitable for the
owners If there are occasional set
backs, perhaps with lapses from the
lead, to be followed by struggles back
to front rank, with the final issue
determined In the last days Of the
season.

Our Good Offices in Cuba.

Without benefit Of ballyhoo, but, ap-
parently, with considerable success, the
good offices Of the United States are
now being used in Cuba to bring about
subsidence Of the political turmoil
that has kept that country in all but an
island-wide state Of revolution for two
years. Through the quiet efforts of
Sumner Welles, President Roosevelt's
Ambassador at Havana, something sa-
voring Of reconciliation seems to be
IN progress between President Macha-
dos government and the bitter opposi-
tion forces Of reform which he has been
opposing and suppressing with IRON
handed ruthlessness. Many political
prisoners have been liberated or brought
back from exile: a semblance of free
speech and free press has been restored !;
the universities, long barred and bolted
by Machado as sources Of endless stu
dent agitation against his regime, are
reopening, and on both sides there has
been cessation Of the reign of terror
which ever and anon turned Havana
and the provinces into shambles, with
bombings, killings and gang murders of
ordinary occurrence.
Evidently because Of Ambassador
Welles' mediation, the great A. B. C.
secret society, an organization of the
younger Cuban professional and COM
mercial classes pledged to political re-
forms, is being permitted to recruit its
forces and take its place as a legitimate
political movement. The Cuban junta
at New York, headed by DR.. Carlos de
Ia Tore, announces its adhesion to the
A. B. c. group, which now represents
the general opposition to President
Machado's government, with a claimed
membership Of fifty thousand citizens
The A. B. C.'s purpose is not only to
abolish Machado and all he stands for,
but to bring about a permanent break
with that system Of corruption which,
ever since the birth of the republic, has
polluted and raralyzed government at
Havana.

ID. c. Intangibles Tax
An Inequitable Lew
To the Editor of The Star:

10 Inc Eoltor OF The Star:
Kindly permit me the privilege
through the columns Of your valuable
paper to join IN and coincide with the
views expressed by Mrs P. r. Whitman
and Mr.. j. F. Smith, under the dates
OF June 20 and "a, 1898, relative to the
District OF Columbia intangible tax.
which I think and believe is not onlv
unreasonable but unjust. There are
many reasons why this tax should be
abolished in justice to the many over
burdened taxpayers. I have on q few
occasions noted, through the press, that
some Senators and Representatives In
Congress are opposed to this Intangible
tax and are in favor of an income
tax for the District. I quite agree with
them and would suggest that an In
come tax, with certain exceptions, be
proposed, which would be far prefer
able and more advantageous, especially
as far as the revenues of the Dis
trict are concerned. In many instances
at the present time investors receive no
income, and no other BENEFITS are de-
rived from these stock investments Stiu
the owners are forced, by law. to nav
this unjust tax regardless Of auy con-
ditions now In effect. In nv opanion
a change Is absolutely Imperative md
essential. and I believe In fairness Con-
gress will gladly and willingly try to
remedy existing conditions which are
expensive and oppressive to all In
terested. HENRY F. ASH.

Mazzini Remembered,

There Is some controversy about the
date, but most authorities agree that it
was on June %, 1903, that Giuseppe
MazZini first saw the light Of day. Not
many modern readers are familiar with
his story, and there appears to be dan
ger that it may be entirely forgotten
The years have been drawing a veil
over his name, and conCentration of
the spotlight upon his successors i'm
plies neglect of his claims to enduring
celebrity.
But it would be regrettable II the
greatest Italian liberal patriot Of his
age were not remembered. Those who
now enjoy an enlarged measure Of free
dom should know that they owe the
privilege in some part to his labors and
sufferings. Certainly, his work was
especially intended to aid in the en-
franchisement of his native country
but his sphere Of influence extended far
beyond the boundaries Of that one land
He was the patron Of the Young
. Europe" movement, whose disciples
preached "a future of liberty. equality
and fraternity for all mankind" He
reached the entire world through the
exercise of his voice and pen. Hi
treatise "On the Duties Of Man" hac

lar-when it first was published it wa!

Thoughts Upon Democracy In Europe

schools Of sociologists and economists
However, Mazzini deserves permanen
place in the human pantheon of mod
ern times quite as much for what h
was as for what he did. The beautifu
fact about his career is that he live
his ideals. Even his fellow student
at the University Of Genoa appreciate

Upholds Marriage Clause
OF the New Economy Act
10 the Editor of The Star.

The authors Of section 213 Of the
economy act Cthe marriage clause had
real sincere interest in the welfare
Of the unemployed, and the taxpayer
also, when they had this fair and prac-
tical clause incorporated in the act
The fair-minded citizens and the un-
fortunate unemployed should be thank
ful that our courageous and charitable
leaders are enforcing this clause, and
that they are not affected by the self
ish influence of the opposition. The
forgotten man" was promised a new
deal, and 1t appears that sincere ef-
forts are being made to keep that
promise.
When the employed married couples
and their supporters attempt to argue
this issue, what is their opinion Of the
intelligence of the average fair-minded
citizen? Regardless of the various rea-
sons that may have caused this de-
preston, the fact remains that the
positions Of employment are not sufii-
cient to employ married women and
at the same time insure an income to
all who have dependents to support.
1t is folly for the taxpayers to ex-
pect a substantial reduction in taxes
while We are assisting millions of un-
employed by means Of the huge un-
in this matter and study the question
with an unbiased mind. I am sure
that such a study would prove that
the employed married woman has
caused most of the unemployment and
increase Of taxes
Were the qualifications for civil
service changed to meet the demand
for an increase Of personnel during the
late war? How did the clerks Of the
Army and Navy Departments change
their military status to a civil service
status?
What happens to the dual salaries
OF these employed married couples?
is this money squandered or boarded
starving? A study of this phase of the
situation will prove that the married
woman emloye deserves absolutely no
sympathy In this matter. Is it fair
for family consisting of man, wife,
son, daughter, son-in-law and daugh-
ter-in-law to be employed while other
families are suffering from the deplo-
rable effects Of unemployment? There
are thousands of such families who
are unemployed. How may we ex-
pect to lift the load of this Industrial
and economic catastrophe from the
shoulders of the taxpayers and the un-
employed when, according to depend
able statistics, we have 9,0OO, 900 en-
ployed married women?
1t Is the patriotic, charitable and
Christian duty of every citizen to study
this situation carefully and sincerely
and then bring to bear the full force
OF their influence to assist those who
deserve such support. Our recovery
from the present destructive situation
may be hastened by the discharge of
these employed married women and
the. unselflsh influence Of our press
and our citizenry.
I am not a member of that huge
army Of the unemployed, and I have
no fear Of being forced out Of nv en-
ployment by married woman. NV
interest in this problem is for the vel
fare OF the unfortunate victims Of this
depression, the unemployed We demand
fair play in our sports: let us practice
fair play toward our fellow men.

OF the in giving the name Of q ves-
sci 1mparts an impersonal and institu-
tional quality to the designation that is
appropriate. We agree that the growing
custom OF recent years in yachting
circles OF referring to yacht without

Is something more personal about q
yacht than about a merchant ship or
a naval vessel is unwarranted. Neither
side OF the controversy. however, can
claim arbitrary authority. As far as
we know, 1t is entirely correct to refer
to the yacht either as 'Amberjack IT

enjoy abundant usage and it is usage

Japan's Mandated Islands
And Control of Pacific
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Japan, for her part in the World
War, acquired certain unimportant ter
ritory. The islands which she acquired
IN the Pacific were considered un-
important by the principal powers on
the allied side. Certainly they are un-
important to any European power. Do
they mean anything to us? Certainly
they mean something to Japan, for
look at the squabble raised when we
wished to protect cable rights In the
Yap Island controversy.
There are three principal groups Of
the inundated islands, the Carolines,
the Mariannas and the Marshalls. They
are mostly reefs, and Of no value COM
mercially. Therefore, they are practi-
cally of no use for colonizing purposes.
Still, there has been considerable i'm
provement Of the few unimportant
ports. There is chance that sub
marine bases may be constructed and
utilized here without interference from
outside powers. Indeed, there seems
little likelihood that there will be any
investigation Of reports that the agree
ment under which Japan took over the
Islands has been broken. Our cable
to Manila runs between these groups,
and the distances are not far, as steam
ing distances Of warships 60 today
The following distances are not exact
In all respects: Manila to Yokohama,
2,O23 miles; Manila to Guam, 1000
miles: Manila to Tainan-fu (Formo-
sa), 800 miles Though southernmost
Formosa and Northern Luzon are only
about 200 miles apart). Guam is only
a short distance from the administra-
tive seat of the Mariannas at Saipan,
and about 500 miles from Yap Island,
which may be classified with the Pelew,
or Palau, group, which Is also under
Japanese mandate. This group is
about 500 miles from the Philippines.
Bases here and IN the Mariannas would
embarrass us.
Then, considering the other two
groups, the Carolines and the Mar
shalls, Yokohama is about 1,700 miles
from Ponape, Caroline Islands, and
possibly l,5oo from Guam. Japan's
base IN the Bonin Islands, south of
Yokohama, is considerably nearer.
Comparing this with Honolulu, our
fleet base, 1t is almost 1900 miles to
Guam (Agana) from there, and about
1900 miles to Pago-Pago, Samoa, where
there Is a small United States naval
station, one of the finest harbors in
Oceania. In the Marshall Islands there
is harbor at Jaluit, labor Island. This
Is approximately $500 miles from Hon.
olulu and 1000 miles from Pago-Pago.
Jaluit is little over $500 miles from
Yokohama.
Modern battleships have a cruising
radius of around 1000 miles, and mod
ern cruisers may go up to 10000 miles.
Oil-burning ships have made vast
difference when stacked up against the
old coal burners. However, distances
do count when a feet is in a hurry,
and distances in the Pacific are
against US.
Reading these figures may be q bit
tedious, but they tend to show that
Japan may have the idea Of contesting
for the supremacy of the Pacific.
WILLIAM p THOMAS, JR.
Evening star., 1933-06-28

Carlyle, who was acquainted with him
when he was no longer young, declared
of him:
He, If I have ever seen one such, is a
man OF genius and virtue, one of those
rare men, Vulnerable unfortunately but
as units in this world, who are worthy
to be called martyr souls, who in silence
piously in their daily life, practice what
is meant by that.
Repeatedly imprisoned for his en-
deavors in behalf of Young Italy,"
Italian independence and unification,
frequently driven into exile, often ma
liciously prosecuted and almost con-
stantly i'll, his soul grew with pain. Thus
he earned the right to be regarded as
a father of the people, isolated from
them as he might be on occasion, but
consistently devoted to their welfare,
progress and happiness. Only when he
died, March 10, 1872, was he adequately
appreciated. For once the honor OF a
public funeral was a sincere expression
OF Nations thanks.
Mazzlnl, perhaps, has had the dis
advantage Of Identification with lib
eralism, with moderation. Less at
tractive figures have had greater celeb
rity because Of their connection with
more extreme views, conservative or
radical. He was revolutionist by
necessity, not by choice; his tempera-
ment really was pacific, though his
political convictions were rigid. 1t is
interesting to note that he refused to
indorse MARKHAM Socialism; instead, he
was loyal to the end to the belief that
the poor and distressed could find So
luton for their problems by evolu-
tionary processes Of education and lib
eral organization. Both as a philoso-
pher and as a man Of action, he left
his stamp upon his own generation and
upon that which has succeeded it. For
his fine mind, his brave heart, his con-
secrated spirit and for his constructive
effect upon changing civilization he
should be remembered.

"You Can't Win Them All. "

No base ball club can win all the
games 1t plays. No follower and patron
Of the game, however ardent and loyal
to his favorite team, should expect 1t
to do so. You can't win them all" Is
the comforting slogan Of the fans who
see their home teams slip when the
race is tightest.
Such was the reaction yesterday when
the Washington team, with two-game
lead over the Yankees, faltered at Cleve-
land after winning eight straight con-
tests, and the nearest contenders fol-
the pennant won in another city and
cut in half the local lead in the pennan,
