If proof were necessary, that something

The trade and currency systems of
practically every important country in
the world are in such delicate shape at

warily lest, in spirit of altruism, vital
domestic interests are sacrificed. Wise
statesmen have to take this factor into
consideration. Patience, tinctured with
invincible hopefulness, must be their

Congressional Record Foes
Warned Change Is Difficult

Record can have a real grasp Of public
affairs and a clear knowledge of events.
1t is not too much to say that If every
business man, every farmer, and every
merchant and manufacturer in the
country had read with care every issue
of the Record since the present Con-
gress began its sessions it would have
been impossible for the larger part Of
the legislation which has been proposed
ever to come within sight of passage"
1T is safe to say" concludes the
Jersey City Journal. that if the Record
cost the legislators so much per copy
the folks back home would not have so
much reading matter to put in their
scrap baskets. There should, however,
be some provision for printing the
Record for sale, so that those who
really need it for its official record OF
legislative doings can buy copies. For
instance. occasionally it is necessary
that newspapers consult the Record.
But those who really need the Record
should be willing to pay for 1t, and not
saddle the cost on the taxpayers, who
are carrying plenty of burdens as 1t is"

Senate Page Perhaps a
Victim of Environment
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
I was standing in one of the long
lines waiting for admission to the Sem
ate gallery the other day. 1t was one
OF those days when a card of admission
to the reserved gallery was about as
much use as a three-year-ol rain
check. You just had to stand in line.
There were two men expensively, if not
well dressed standing directly behind
me and they were becoming very res
tive under the enforced wait. At last
there came sauntering down the cor
rider one OF the Senate pages. He was
about II years old. freckled, and with
a great shock of red hair He sized up
the people in the line with a gaze that
was as cool. calculating, sophisticated.
not to say cunning, as have ever seen
on the face of banker four times his
age. He then stepped over to the two
impatient gentlemen standing directly
behind me, and I distinctly heard the
following conversation:
You fellows want to get imp"
Certainly"
Il can get you in. It'll cost you two
bits apiece"
20. K"
Just follow me"
Ihey followed him and presume the
youthful racketeer made good his
promise and received his four bits.
Now, for all know to the contrary
TINS sort OF thing may be we'll estab-
llshed custom of the Senate pages. 1t
may even be one of their perouisites.
But to me it had a decided flavor of
Al Caponeism. To put 1t very mildly
tthought 1t was very undignified per-
formance to take place in the CAPITOL
My feelings toward that page were
somewhat harsh. And then I was ad-
mitted to the gallery.
After listening for a couple of hours
70 speeches advocating empowering the
PRESIDENT to shave the gold content of
tne dollar and to abrogate contracts
made with the Government in good
faith and several other proposals of
IKE IKE character I began to feel sorry for
tnat KID page. I finally came to the
conclusion that the poor little fellow
was victim of his environment.

serves evidence Of the high regard In
which the Cornaceae were held by the
ancients. vergil tells Of the javelins
made by cornell wood which struck down
Polydorus. Pausanias reports festival
celebrated in honor Of Apollo at Lace
daemonia to appease the wrath Of the
god at the destruction of the dogwood
trees on Mount Ida. Tradition says that
when Romulus wished to enlarge the
boundaries Of Rome he hurled his spear
to mark the extension permitted by the
gods, and 1t struck a spot on the Pala-
tine Hill and there was metamorphosed
into fine cornell tree symbolic of the
greatness and strength Of the Roman
state.
Philologists are puzzled about the
origin of the name "dogwood." It has
no authentic connection with the canine
family Of animals. Perhaps it comes
from the old Saxon word, dag" signi-
flying dagger" or "skewer." The Cor
naceae may have been popularity named
"dagwoods," the reference. obviously. be-
ing to the toughness of the fiber, suit
able to dagger use. But one theory is
as competent as another, and no one
really knows for certain.
At a time some fifteen or twenty
years ago it seemed that the dogwood
was in danger Of being exterminated,
and a campaign to save it was waged
by naturalists and nature lovers. Soon
the tide was turned in its favor, and
now 1t is making excellent progress.
Small and sturdy, the tree responds to
care, and its beauty amply repays at
tention. The State of Virginia has
chosen the dogwood as the official
flower Of the Commonwealth. 1t is
said that it may be found on the tops
Of the highest mountains of the Old
Dominion.
The dogwood Towering season, from
May through to the end of June, is its
heyday, but even after the blossoms are
gone, 1t still is decorative. 1t richly
justifies Its place In gardens, fields and
woodlands all through the year and de-
serves protection accordingly.

The Dogwood.

The roadside thickets of the neigh
borhcod of Washington are bright with
the dogwocd. Authorities on the sub
ject say that this year the blossoms
are especially fine and that they will
be at their best during the next few
days.
The commonest variety in America is
the Cornus florida, generally regarded
as one Of the most beautiful of flower
ing trees. The white form has a dis
tinctive light yellow-green flower center
with four surrounding brachts, one to
three inches long. The rose-red form
is identical except for the color tint
Altogether there are about eighty species
distributed over the temperate zone
Several representatives of the family
are found in Mexico and in Peru. In
Europe the Cornus sanguinea, with
deep red Autumn foliage. was a fav-
orite source CT arrow shafts in the
Middle Ages. Even in our time it is
wanted for its firm, hard wood, used
in intricate inlay work.

Furloughs, Refunds and
The Controllers Ruling

To the Editor Of The Star.
I notice that writer for The Star
Of May has taken the stand that an
employe Of the Federal Government
who took the full furlough of "a days
called fer by the economy act for the
fiscal year 1888 is being cut % Ia per
cent because Of Mr.. McCarl's ruling
that this employe can not be given a
refund for the months April, May and
June. during which the Is per cent
Your writer's reasoning Is very OBJ
scure. How can he figure that an en-
ploye who has really taken this fur
Tough leave can be given refund thus
giving him money for services not per-
formed2 For instance, one employe may
have worked every day last Summer,
in a hot, stuffy Office, while another
employe in the same Office may have
taken his furlough, left for some Sum-
mer resort. and enjoyed the cool ocean
breezes. He would have this latter en-
ploye, who did not do any work. for
that time, come back and demand a
refund for time III which he was not
at the Office but at the Seashore This
would be giving him annual leave, and
the economy act for the fiscal year
1888 expressly states that no annual
leave can be allowed for the fiscal year
1888. Besides the 81-3 pay cut was
really furlough and not q straight
pay cut.
He also states that the new law pro-
vides that Federal employe cannot
be cut more than Is per cent according
to the new economy act, reasoning that
because of this it is wrong to cut an
employee % 1-3 per cent by combining
his is per cent cut and the excess fur
Tough cut which he has taken because
he took more furlough than the others
who used only 18 days or less. How
about the new furlough of 80 days or
less? This will probably cut employees
pay IS or 40 per cent. Does that har-
nonize with the statement that the
employees pay can be cut only is per
cent? Isn't that adding cut on cut?
Mr.. McCarl's ruling was absolutely
correct. He ruled that where an en-
ploye had not used his 10 days he could
take the rest Of 1t before July /. He
also ruled that where an employe had
paid for all his furlough of "a days
but had not used it he could have a
refund But. he has not ruled that an
employe who has paid for all his fur
lough and also used all Of 1t can have
a refund. Nothing could be fairer.

A ThornY Path.

Indications pile up that the course of
true international love at the World
Monetary and Economic Conference at
London in June is not to run with
entire smocthness. Even in its pre-
liminary stages snags manifest them
selves. From both Great Britain and
France, whose distinguished emissaries
were in Washington but few days ago,
comes evidence that on variety of
pertinent issues those countries and the
United States are still wide apart.
1t was officially disclosed in the House
Of Commons by Mr.. Macdonald yester-
day, freshly arrived from his American
expedition, that debts are not to be
dealt with at the economic conference.
In the French Senate former Am
bassador Henri Berengsr, co-author of
the Mellon Berenger debt settlement,
lamented that Frances magnificent
gesture" in remitting ninety per cent
of German reparations had produced
no repercussion in the United States
a gibe at M. Herriot's failure to bring
home the bacon in the form of a
promise of war debt revision downward
On the specific question just raised
by the Washington Government, look
ing to tariff truce or economic armis-
tice, pending the London conference,
Prime Minister Macdonald announces
that Great Britain must demand certain
''safeguards" before she consents to
such an arrangement He points out
that a country like Great Britain, on
only semi-protective basis, is not in
so favorable position as a land long
shielded by high tariffs like the United
States. France, too, seeks to assure
herself by defensive measures preced-
ing and during the London confer
ence, no matter what subsequent tariff
compacts the nations may enter into.
The suggestion may be cynical one,
but perhaps both Britain and France
might be more inclined to consider a
tariff truce If America were ready to
pledge a debt moratorium, effective
June Is.

Moscow Fantasy.
From the Wall Street Journal


If the Moscow trial of half a dozen
Britons and a group Of Russians on
charges of ounter-revolutionary actiy-
ities has any meaning for Americans
it is that our recognition of the Soviet
republic Is impossible until a change
comes over the spirit of the Russian
dream. 1t is absurd to call these the
atrical proceedings a trial; it is a tax
on the simplest credulity to suppose
that their real purpose was to disclose
the guilt or innocence of the accused.
Whatever the indiscreet inquiries of the
Britons which furnished a pretext for
The charges against them and the third
degree methods by which seeming con-
fessions of guilt were extorted, this trial
Is of g. piece with the whole long policy
Of the Kremlin rulers to terrorize their
own countrymen by constant repre-
ments as crouching to spring upon
able opportunity and crush the revolt
Of the masses.
To the preservation of that illusion,
so indispensable to the despotic power
of small party over hundred million
Russians, the Moscow government has
consistently sacrificed every chance of
honest friendship with other peoples.
The existence Of diplomatic relations
with Great Britain has not deferred the
Soviet state from using British subjects.
in Russia at its own invitation, for the
old purpose of poisoning the minds Of
the Russian people with a hatred with
out factual or logical foundation. We
cannot doubt that Americans in Russia
are even now exposed to the risk of
being used in the same fashion for the
same purpose; it Is not unreasonable to
surmise that the absence Of American
recognition and the Soviet hope Of OBJ
tanning it afford them more protection
from the outrage visited upon the
Britons than diplomatic relations be-
tween this country and Russia would.
So far from convincing washington
that recognition of Russia is to be
hastened, the Moscow trial should have
Just the opposite eject. !.
