Colonial WILLIAMSBURG.
From the Roanoke Times

From the Roanoke Times
In this day Of modern highways and
smooth boulevards 1t is strange to md
q community deliberately tearing up
modern streets IN order TO replace their
surfaces with nag and cobblestones.
Yet this Is what Is about to happen In
the old part Of Williamsburg, where the
Rockefeller millions are bringing into
being once more the historic and an
cient capital OF pre-Revolutionary Vir-
ginia.
Dr.. W. A. r. Goodwin Is generally
credited with being the man who first
interested John D. Rockefeller, jr. in
the idea Of restoring wnl,anashuTE , TO TO
vision, his courage and his energy" it
was said of him in q citation when he
was an honorary member Of the Amer
lean Institute Of Architects, the resto-
ration of Williamsburg would never
have occurred" With Mr. Rockefeller 3
authorization and approval, DR.. Good
win spent sl,850,0 900 in acquiring prop
critics needed apd for eight months he
kept secret the name Of the chief patron
of the undertaking.
How the thing came about was ex-
planned by DR.. Goodwin recently in an
address before the University Club Of
Baltimore. 1t seems that Henry Ford
had been invited to finance the recon-
struction of Colonial Williamsburg, but
had declined. An address by Dr. Good.
win before the Phi Beta Kappa Society
in New York attracted Mr.. Rockefeller's .
attention. The two men were intro
duced and there and then the restora-
ton Of Williamsburg was made possible.

The Rock Island Argus argues that

San Antonio Express denies that the
election was "a free, genuine expression
Of popular opinion"
''Hitler's license to do as he wishes in
Germany" according to the Providence
journal. does not necessarily mean that
his prestige in Europe has increased.
Such well-nigh unanimous support as
has been accorded him, however, could
well be the starting point Of a new
phase of his career. This new phase,
intelligently developed, might easily es-
tablish him ultimately as constructive
force in European politics and eco

Stormy Trip to
Safe Harbor
From the Cleveland Plain-Desler.

From the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.
Some one with imagination and
vocabulary could weave q modern ad-
venture story about william c. Bullitt,
the Philadelphian who def1ed minis
tries, precedents and the law Of proba-
bilitieS to attain goal which the world
acclaims at last. Bullitt had much to
do with bringing Russia and America
together. Soon he will go to Moscow
as the first United States Ambassador
to the domain of the Soviets.
Ever since Lansing's day at the State
Department Bullitt has been fitting in
and out of the diplomatic picture.
Commissioned and then dismissed by
Wilson, trusted then repudiated by
Lloyd George, investigated by the Stats
Department under Hoover, denied
recognition by President-elect Roose-
welt, this sdventurer in unon1cial
diplomacy sails at last into the chosen
harbor after tossing is years on turbu-
lent seas.
No one will have to explain now that
"Bill' Bullitt of the old Yale days rep
resents no one but himself when he
speaks. He will indeed represent more
than q hundred million Americans in
their new relations with Russians num-
bering half as many more. Bullitt, the
elusive but effective non-representative,
becomes Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary A stickler for success
could scarcely ask more.

familiar with European capitals and al
ready somewhat precocious as linguist.
But Bullitt's real hobby has been his
20-year study of European politics,
problems and personalities. known by
his first name to most continental
statesmen, he has devoted ditch h-dig-
gers hours to tireless research in Lon
don, Paris, Berlin and Rome. The
causes and statecraft of the war and
postwar complexities have for him an
endless fascination. Friends of Bullitt,
amused by the suggestion of his radical
leanings, claim for him much Of the
credit for the hard-boileds bargain
driven with Mr.. Litvinoff. They deplore
the impression that he appeared before
the Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee IN 1919 and gratuitously provided
information that proved effective in
blocking ratification of the Versailles
treaty. As q matter of fact, Senate in
| vestigators had to dig him out of the
Maine woods and serve him with q
subpoena. On the stand he gave testi-
mony only in reply to questions, volun-
teering nothing.
Assistant Secretary of State Wilbur
j. Carr is the proud possessor of one
OF the biggest and handsomest auto
graph albums in the world. It was
recently presented to him by members
OF. the United States foreign service
In commemoration of his 40 years of
service in the State Department. The
sheets Of the album are 1917 by 1917
inches in size and of the best Dutch
vellum. The illuminated album
was produced by the famous Buschman
Press Of Antwerp and is an exquisite
work of art. The binding represents a
composite OF early Renaissance designs,
the prevailing motif being foliage
pattern in relief. Each page Is de-
voted to q congratulatory letter auto
graphed by a colleague Of Mr.. Carr in

ment officials, Ambassadors, Ministers

for IT. uss In drafting the annual ap-
preparation bills when that body meets.
With reference to the estimated reve.
nues Of the Government, he said that
the $3.50, 900. 900 total for the fscal
year 1888 assumes - moderate recov-
cry" BY which he means IN increase Of
ten per cent in industrial activity. THIS
estimate Of revenues also includes the
expected returns from the taxes on
liquor following the repeal Of the
eighteenth amendynsnt.
Mr.. Douglas denied specifically the
charge which has been made by Re-
publican critics Of the administration
that there are In effect two Govern
ment budgets, the hrst the budget for
the so-ealled regular operations Of the
Federal Government and the second
the budget for the extraordinary or
emergency expenditures Of the Gov
eminent considered economically and
socially necessary. In making this
denial he referred to the daily state
ment Of the Treasury. which shows
but q single deficit, arrived at by COM
pairing total expenditures With total
receipts Of the Government. The Bu-
reau of the Budget, however. has con-
troll only over the expenditures Of the
Government for it, ordinary operations
through its regular agencies. 1t does
not have control over the expenditures
for the emergency operations.
The national debt, Mr.. Douglas said.
undoubtedly will be substantially in
creased In the present fiscal year, the
fiscal year 1884. This statement is
predicated upon the present estimate Of
expenditures for the emergency pur-
poses, for direct relief to the destitute,
for loans to banks. for public works and
for the support Of agricultural prices
through the operations Of the A. A. A.,
! etc. But, a he pointed out, provision
has been made for meeting these ex-
traordinary expenditures in the future,
through repayment Of loans to the R.
F. c., through special taxes levied for
amortization Of, the public works ex-
penditures and Through the processing
taxes.
On the whole the picture that the
director Of the budget gave to the New
England Conference Is encouraging

Budget and Credit.

Lewis w. Douglas, director OF the
budget, addressing the New England
Conference in Boston, laid down two
basic facts and expressed several hopes.
The first fact was that the credit Of
the United States can be maintained
only by a balanced budget. The second
was that either no additional emergency
expenditures can be made or the middle
class, that great class Of taxpayers in
this country, must willingly bear the
burden of increased taxation. There are
those who disagree with Mr.. Douglas
that q balanced budget Is necessary to
preserve the credit of the Government.
But they are for the most part vision
aries or gamblers. individuals and
nations alike whose expenditures exceed
their receipts continuously find their
credit impaired. The country has
tightened Its belt and sought to go
along with the recovery program OF the
administration, including the heavy
emergency expenditures through gov
ernmental agencies. II would be q
disappointment II necessity should now
arise for still further increasing the
tax burden. However, the budget
director is to be congratulated upon
his frank statement Of the case. II
the people lose faith in the credit OF
their Government, their case ID likely
to be far worse than It has been.
The hope expressed by the director
Of the budget was that the revenues Of
the Government for the fiscal year 1885
would reach Q total Of $3.50, ,0o0, 900
and that the budget estimates for that
year, exclusive Of sinking fund require
ments, would be less than $4,000. .000.-
900, leaving approximately $1,000, ,ooo.-
600 to care for expenditures which have
grown out Of emergency operations dur
ing the present fiscal year. The direc-
tor Of the budget spoke with authority

Ambassador Welles Recalled.

With a suddenness of which there
was no advance indication, President
Roosevelt has decided to recall Ambas-
sador Welles from Havana and replace
him with Assistant Secretary Of State
Caffery, who some time ago was desig-
mated as Mr.. Welles' eventual successor.
The shift Is unmistakably . move in
the direction Of recognition Of the Grau
San Martin government in Cuba. Mr..
welles has been consistently opposed to
approving that regime on the ground
that 1t does not truly represent the
Cuban popular will. In maintaining
that attitude, the American Ambassador
has incurred the bitter disfavor of the
existing government, which all but ofi.
cially demanded his removal and openly
threatened a hostile reception for him
on his return from his present sojourn
in the United States for consultation
with the President and the State De-
partment. DR.. Grau San Martin, COL
Batista and the other elements now in
power at Havana insist that Mr.. welles
has been unduly using his influence to
restore the De Cespedes government,
which was dispossessed in September
following a bare month of office.
At Warm Springs last night Presi-
dent Roosevelt announced that the
United States will welcome any pro-
visional government in Cuba In which
the Cuban people demonstrated their
confidence He expressed the hope
that by peaceful agreement" such .
government will be established. The
President also disclains prejudice
against any faction or individual III
Cuba!'
Mr.. Roosevelt thus invites the island
republic to bury its political differences,
unite on q government that typifies
the people as whole and, as an auto
matte consequence, receive the blessing
and recognition of the United States.
Undoubtedly the friendly nature OF
the Presidents statement will facilitate
the process of reconciliation in Cuba
That island and all Latin America will at
least see in Mr.. Roosevelt's pronounce
ment yet another proof Of this coun-
try's benevolent disinterestedness, actu-
ated solely by our enduring desire fol
Cuba's own good. The President
has evidently concluded that the recall
of Mr.. Welles, who has served at
Havana under conditions of the most
difficult and delicate nature, and with
credit both to himself and his coun-
try, Is best under all the circumstances.
II the change in Ambassadors pro-
notes the cause Of peace and tran
quillity at Havana, qualification In
Cuba will be no greater than 1t will be
here. Intervention has been avoided
to the unqualified satisfaction OF the
American people, fact that will moi
be without its benefcent effect through
out Latin America on the eve Of the
Montevideo conference.
