Fraternity Key.

Once upon time, not very long
ago, there was little gold fraternity
key. Day after day it travelled about
Washington on the watch chain of a
busy man. And then one evening, as
the owner emerged from an automo-
bile at the door of a hotel at which
he was to speak, the tiny charm
escaped from its moorings. A worn
link. breaking at that particular mo-
ment, let 1t fall to an undistinguished
resting place in pierced rubber mat
stretched before the portals of the
hostelry. There 1t lay for hours
cleaning with all its diminutive
might; but the hurrying throng, COM
ing and going, passed by without no.
ticing its signals of distress.
Meanwhile, of course, the individual
most directly concerned discovered
his loss. But his audience was wait
ing; he perforce was obliged to forego
the privilege of searching for his
property Indeed, it was several days
before he had opportunity to make
inquiry at the restaurant at which he
had dined and elsewhere over the
route he had journeyed Immediately
before the key disappeared. And
then 1t seemed too late. flinders

Cupid and Mussolini,

Cupid and international politics
have run afoul of each other more
than once in the historic past, under
the system whereby royal houses mar
ried off their progeny for purposes of
dynastic convenience. But seldom

clashed under more remarkable cir
eumstances than those which have
Just caused a broken engagement at
Toxic.
A wedding was to have taken place
between Miss Masako Kuroda, daugh-

This week, as final arrangements fol
the nuptials were proceeding, it was
reported that no other than the hand
Of Premier Mussolini of Italy had in

But life, as 1t happens, is not like

Again several days elapsed before
the final chapter of the story could
be written. The lady's parent also was

The episode is treated seriously at

mission in Africa and his pointed
warning to France not to obstruct it.

Hence the demonstration of which

Italy's ambitions are threatened the
intrepid Fascist leader does not shrink

Mills and BOrah Take Lead
In Debate on Federal Policies

One Of the incidents of a campaign
year is the line of attack on the pol
icies of the administration in power
such as has been inaugurated with
speeches by Senator William E. Borah
and former Secretary Of the Treasury
Ogden L. Mills. The Senator con-
demns curtailment of production and
the giving of tariff power to the Presi-
dent, while the former cabinet member
speaks for economic freedom and de-
mands a change in monetary policy
Their statements furnish subjects of a
warm debate in the press.
In Senator Borah the Chicago Tri-
bune finds IAN unanswerable cham
pion of opposition to the new deal" +"
and declares that he cannot be lightly
brushed aside" adding: He Is pre-
sumably and by repute as much in
terested in the welfare of his fellow
man and as little addicted to monopoly
and privilege as the most radical new
dealer. In him the opposition to
counsels of despair, panic, socialism
and infantilism finds spokesman who
cannot be run up the alley"
With commentator for the Sena-
tors presentation of what he believes
to be fundamental weaknesses in the
Administrations recovery program.
the indianapolis Star declares that
the problem is a world matter" and
is 'one Of distribution and not of over
production" The Star quotes the late
Senator Beveridge's statment that 1.-The
salvation Of American prosperity de-
mands larger and ever larger foreign
markets, which alone will keep Amer
ican labor employed" This paper con-
cludes: "The thought expressed by
Senator Beveridge and reiterated by
Senator Borah is elemental. We can
not hope to regain prosperity by cur
failing production and trying to in
crease the price of reduced output
We can not expect to become wealthy
by refusing to produce wealth. which
Is what we do when we would delude
ourselves into believing We can make
one bushel of wheat worth as much
to us as two"
THE return of the old crusadins
spirit" in the Senator is hailed by
the Rockford Register Republic. which
emphasizes his tribute to "the ca
pacity of a people to recover and
regain after great catastrophies." with
reserve energy and reserve power,
and adds that, "of his implicit faith
that those virtues still reside with
the American people he left nc
doubt" The indianapolis News agrees
with the speaker, stating that "his
reference to the productiveness of the
land being the final basis for ap-
praising the country's condition is
sound" The South Bend Tribune
says of his treatment of the tariff
problem: Perhaps Senator Borah
will not argue that Congress has
manifested fitness to deal with the
tariff problem. To do so he would
have to show singular indifference to

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL.

It is an old story, of course, this
annual visit Of the school children
in the Spring, but always it is an in
teresting one, and not without aspects
of beauty.
Nor do the girls constitute that
beauty. That. rather, lies in the
gathering Of the young and hopeful
at the seat Of national government.
This Is the real beauty of it, as
many see it.
There is something ennobling about
this visitation, bubbling with juvenile
good spirits and fun and all that, but
vastly serious underneath it all.
You have but to stand and watch
one Of these groups Of youngsters to
see that they are here for business as
well as pleasure.
Their business is to see Washington.
See Washington!
1t is a fact as we'll as a slogan.
How many Washingtonians there
are who have never set foot inside
the Folger Shakespeare Library or
the Freer Art Gallery
There are people living here who
have not been up in the Washington
Monument for a quarter of century.
There are thousands who have not
set foot inside the grounds of the
National Geological Park the past ten
years.
The children who come here each
Spring do a vast amount of good by
reminding Washingtonians that there
Is much to see here, after all; that If
strangers from afar find it worth the
time, money and trouble to come here.
it is well worth the time and effort Of
those who happen to live here.
4 X \ r
That sentence sounds something
like Lincoln, with its repetition of
here" and that Is we'll, because
Washington must always think Of
Abraham Lincoln in the Springtime.
Easter visitors, as We call them,
think a great deal of Lincoln while
they are here. There is much which
still retains his touch; there is the
city itself, which he shares with
Washington.
The children seem to realize all this
instinctively. They have a serious
light in their eyes. behind all their
laughter. No doubt the teacher told
them to be appreciative, but the happy
fact is that they really are.
In every group of these young visi-
tors the spectators will see great many
more eager faces than foolish faces.
Despite the fact that they are to-
gether. and therefore exposed to the
mob spirit, which so often manifests
itself in mere exuberance under such
conditions. these boys and girls mainly
60 about their jobs of sightseeing with
serious countenance.
One OF the reasons for this Is that
they realize they must compress a
great deal Of seeing into a compare
lively brief time.
Sightseeing. under such circum-
stances. becomes something of a task,
even when one merely hits the high
spots.
With competent guides, however,
and some prior knowledge, the boy or
girl who comes here at this time of
the year Is able to take away fairly
comprehensive recollection Of the
National Capital.
Those who came last Saturday on
the heels of the morning rain seemed
TO get as much fun and interest out
Of 1t all as If the finest type Of sun
had been shining
In this. too. these youngsters give
valuable tips to those who live here,
and who at times may refrain from
visiting points they have not seen
merely because 'the weather is bad. -

Licensing Power.

The licensing clause of the national
industrial recovery act, due to expire
June 16, will be allowed to die, Gen
Hugh S. johnson has said. This is
the clause which gives the President
authority to license any industry not
complying with the N. r. A. and to
revoke licenses to do business. 1t has
been considered the big stick, the club
with which the Government could
hammer industries into adhering to
the N. r. A.. If all other measures of
persuasion failed. Gen. johnson Is
the N. R. A. administrator. Whether
President Roosevelt will agree to the
plan Of Gen. johnson to let the
licensing feature of the recovery act
expire remains to be seen. The Presi-
dent in the past has indicated that
he would ask Congress to extend the
life of this provision. If anything
is to be done looking to the extension
of the licensing clause, it must be
done comparatively quickly. 1t Is true
that little over two months remains
before the clause automatically ex-
pires. But it is clear that If a bill
is pressed to change the recovery act
in any respect flood of amendments
will be proposed, leading to a long
debate and a bitter fight.
The licensing clause has not been
invoked by the Government since the
recovery act was passed last year
Apparently Gen. johnson is of the
opinion that the law can operate
without it, and he prefers, it is re-
ported, to take that chance rather
than to throw the act open to the
danger Of other amendments, among
them one offered by Senator Borah
of Idaho, which would restore the
full operation of the antitrust laws
in the case Of industries which have
come under the N. r. A. codes.
The statement of Gen. johnson
with reference to the licensing clause
Of the recovery act serves to call at
tention to the fact that in another
year the law expires unless an ex-
tension is provided by Congress. The
law was put through as an emer-
gency measure. Whatever is done
about the licensing clause, it is en-
tirely probable that the administra-
ton will seek to have the life of the
act extended. 1t is part of the new
deal" and the President has declared
that there shall be no return to the
old system. There seems strong
probability that a serious fight will
be Waged both for and against max
ing the provisions of the act perma-
nent. Industry accepted the N. R.
A. as an emergency measure. If the
emergency continues to exist a year
from now, industry may continue to
accept it. But doubtless amend
ments will be proposed when the
time comes.
An industry which has accepted the
N. r. A. and joined in a code is sub
ject to the provisions of the act. Any
individual or company in that indus
try violating the code may be prose-
cuted. For that reason the licensing
clause may not be entirely necessary
for the operation of the law now. For
the industries generally have come
under the codes. But to those men,
bers of the administration who firmly
believe that Government must be
given the power to regulate industry
the suggestion that the licensing fea-
ture is to be abandoned will come
with something of a shock.
