Leadership Handicap
Is Seen i'm Democracy
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
Henri Amiel, the great Swiss philos-
opher, said: Democracy rests on the
fiction that the majority has not only
force but reason on its side and DOS
sesses the wisdom necessary for action.
The Democratic instinct makes men
believe that pretensions have only got
10 be the same to make merits equal +"
Amlel was right. Democracy places
all persons on a dead level. Youth
vies with age and women with men.
Authority is not obeyed, nor gray
hairs respected. The counsel of wise
men is despised and the will of parents
is f1outed. Any head that dare lift
itself an inch above the heads of its
fellows is smartly tapped for its pre-
sumption. True leadership cannot
arise in democracy, for true leader
ship implies inequality and rank. ideas
which are obnoxious to democracy.
Democracy in America has fallen
to its lowest level-to the doctrine
that the whole sum of human hap
plness flows from handing out loaves
and fishes to the multitude. Christ
fed 5000 men with five loaves and two
fishes to teach men that food for
the body should not be their chief
concern. But the Government pro-
ceeds on the theory that well-fed men
are happy men. If this be so. then
C1rce was true benefactress of men
when with a wave of her wand she
turned Ulysses and his crew into
grunting, well-fed swine. But thev
were not happy. for they remembered
that they had been men.

Driving Ban Urged
For Auto Killers
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
Friday evening little 13-year-old
Vain C. Corbin was struck and fatally
injured by a small truck. Drivers of
this type Of truck can be seen daily
on the city streets dashing at high
speed with no regard for the safety
OF pedestrians or other vehicles. These
drivers are paid all the way from So
10 SIS per week, which NAV have
something to do with the kind OF
driving that is much in evidence.
Picture this little 80-pound boy
lying on the street asking. "Is INV
buddy 0. KIP" The other bow has a
broken collar bone and other serious
injuries. Think of the danger to
otner children and then try to figure
out why these men who kill with an
automobile are again given q permit
70 drive. I know personally two men
VINO nave killed with an automobile
ana who are still driving and who are
stlIl known as fast drivers"
One of these men, recently in nv
employ, when questioned about his
1atal accident, laughingly said, IT
knocked that man so hard against
the tree he looked like a pancake"
These killings will continue as long
as we turn these men loose to joke
ABOUT 1t afterward. I drive a car in
washington every day in the year
and 1t is my belief, as warning to
others, that any one who has a fatal
accident should be forever barred
from again driving q car, and any
one who has an accident involving
personal injuries to any one should
nave his permit revoked for at least
one year, except where criminal negl-
gence is proven and, in that case, the
permit should be permanently re-
voked. In Philadelphia some years
ago q millionaire was convicted Of
killing three persons with an automo-
bile. He served six years of 10-year
sentence and when released for good
behavior himself said, II deserved all
I got" If we had some Of that kind
of justice in Washington and If this
letter will help to bring it about it
might be that little Vain G. Corbin
will not have died in vain.

The Naval Deadlock.

At London last night Ambassador
Matsudaira formally and finally noti-
fed Foreign Minister Sir John Simon
that Japan stands firm in her demand
for full naval equality with Great
Britain and the United States. The
Japanese thus reject the recent British
compromise proposal, which would
have accorded Nippon only equality
''in principle"
As matters now stand, Britain and
America must yield, or the Japanese
will carry out their long projected
threat to denounce the Washington
treaty Of limitation at the end of this
year, effective in December, 1896.
Thenceforward, Japan would be at
liberty to build fleet of any dimen-
sions she desires, and she has left
no doubt of her intention to do so.
The final Japanese proposal was
for equality in "global tonnage" leav-
ing each power free to build within
that total any types of ships best
suited to its purposes. Japan also in
timated that she might be willing to
undertake not to build up to equality
for a certain number Of years, but on
the question of her right to absolute
parity she insists there can be no COM
promise. It would be a compromise
on national prestige for Japan to &C
cept anything less, Ambassador Matsu-
daira points out, and that is unde-
batable, from the empires standpoint.
There matters rest. The London
conversations are not yet formally
terminated, but that they are almost
hopelessly deadlocked seems beyond
question. To what extent Anglo
American unity on retention of the
5-5-3 treaty ratio will persist is not
entirely clear. Day by day more and
more influential voices are making
themselves heard in London in favor
of firm joint attitude by the Eng
disappearing powers. The latest
advocate of such a policy Is the
Marques Of Lothian, who declares
that the only way to prevent
Japan from seizing the overlordship
of the Western Pacific and Eastern

Process of Elimination.
Wherever you turn there is something
to learn
Deserving of grave cogitation;
There are efforts by folks to claim
more than they earn,
Which frequently puzzles the Nation.
Some lead double lives. others eat
with their knives,
While ways of bad grammar pur-
suing.
Experience daily to show us contriyes
The things that we shouldn't be
doing.
So wherefore be vain and ambitious
to gain
High place by some brilliant en-
deavor,
When the lessons of life are so per-
fectly plain,
Implying no need to be cleveri
There's no need to move from the old
fashioned groove,
Where old-fashioned scenes we are
viewing;
We need only take note as ourselves

OF the things that we shouldn't be

Stop Lights Asked
For Irving Street

To the Editor Of The Star:
I quote from The Star of the 10th
instant:
In large transport plane TRAFFIC
Director Van Duzer, Police Supt.
Brown, Commissioner HAGEN and
others deeply concerned with traf-
f1c will fly over the city during
the peak of the afternoon conges-
tion and observe conditions in the
business section as well as the out
lying areas. An announcer and
q short-wave tranmitter will be
taken along so WJSV can broad
cast some Of the observations.
Inasmuch as The Star has on
several occasionals published letters
about auto traffic conditions and the
great necessity for the protection of
pedestrians by the installation of
"Stop-Go" lights at Mount Pleasant
and Irving streets northwest, may I
request The Star to publish this invi-
tation and request to Commissioner
Hazen, Director Of Trafnc Van Duzer
and Supt. Of Police Brown to fly over
Mount Pleasant and Irving streets
northwest between 5 and $50 pm.

Asia Is for Britain and the United
States to assume Joint liability for
maintenance of the status quo. Un-
less the public in both countries is
willing to take the risks of defending
the nine-power system, Lord Lothian
says, Britain and America might just
as well let the Japanese militarists
have their way Immediately.
Traditional reluctance in the United
States to enter into such commit
ments initiates against the practica-
bility of q hard-and-fast agreement
of the kind Lord Lothian suggests.
But sentiment in favor Of an Ameri-
can feet to be maintained at the
present margin Of superiority over
the Japanese and at parity with the
British is deep-seated. If circum-
stances require expansion of American
building beyond present programs,
this country would unquestionably not
shrink from 1t, much as 1t would de-
plore the resumption Of naval COM
petition.
Public opinion on that score will be
solidified by the revelation that the
Japanese have indicated their readi-
ness to accept tonnage superiority
for the British as compared with their
own, but are not prepared to agree
to similar superiority for the American
Navy. Hence, talk in London OF a
5-4-4 ratio, leaving Britain with her
five, decreasing Americas proportion
from five to four, and increasing
Japan's from three to four, Britain
remaining in a position superior to
each of the other powers. 1t goes
without saying that such solution Of
the London deadlock would be utterly
unacceptable to the United States.
Evening star., 1934-11-20
To the Editor of The Star:

Noting in a recent issue Of your
paper the report of Traffic Director
v. A. Van DuZer, which has been given
wide publicity and in which he puts
the principal blame for the deaths and
injuries by automobiles upon the
pedestrians, suggest that despite his
statistics it seems to me that this
is case where statistics give q wrong
impression.
My observation Is that there has
been an increasing amount of reck-
less driving in the last two years,
partly due to the rapid acceleration
in starting cars and partly due to
the increasing number of irresponsible
drivers who expect pedestrians to
jump. 1t is pathetic to see elderly
women and children waiting to cross
streets.
Mr.. Van DuZer's report implies that
II you only cross with the lights you
will be safe. My experience is that
is not the case. Although active my
self, have been more frequently en-
dangered by drivers making a right
hand turn swinging rapidly around
the corner, sometimes two at different
angles, after person has started
across.
In many instances one cannot cross
the street with one change of lights.
Tancabs are particularly guilty In
starting before the lights change
and the pedestrian Is liable to be
caught by a fast short turn as well as
a right-hand one.
Many friends from other cities have
found, like mystelf, that driving in
Washington Is more dangerous than
in other cities because of irresponsible
drivers who weave in and out Of traf-
f1c lines and who suddenly temporar-
lily park double, even where there Is
room on the side farther on. Delivery
trucks are often guilty of this.
I do not speak wholly as a pedes-
trian, as I have driven for over 20
years and drive about 80 miles a day
in coming and returning to my home
in the suburbs and have never hit
another car or struck any one, al
though cars have run into me from
the side and damaged my car. This
morning a fast truck on a right lane
at a crossing swung left directly
across my lane and had to stop sud-
denly with cars coming behind.
My conclusion Is that there are not
enough traffic rules which are en-
forced by police. Mr.. Van Duzer
should be given double his present
force and such an increase in traffic
men would relieve an equal number of
men now supported by relief funds.

Approval Is Urged
For Dirigible Service
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
This letter is written as a means
Of congratulating the far-sighted men
who are responsible for the organiza-
ton Of plans for a transatlantic and
trans-Paciflc dirigible service.
That regular airship schedule can
be carried out on long distance sea
hops was proved over and over by the
Graf Zeppelin. Our own q. S. S.
Macon has been performing well Of
late, likewise.
At present, s17,Ooo,oOo represents
the cost of such an enterprise. This
sum can be reduced considerably, no
doubt, if wise expenditure of money
is carried out.
We have profited from our previous
airship experience and it Is very un-
likely that we will ever lose another
airship or the lives and money in
vested in them.
We hope that our President and
Congress approve the plan for trans
Atlantic and trans-Pacific dirigible
service when 1t Is submitted to them.

do to music, not what music does
to you, dispute 1t who will.
Music is basically physical, not Of
the soul, particularly. It is an ex-
preston of the senses. We have
never seen q musician or musically
inclined person who at the same time
was not keenly aware of fragrances,
for instance.
Love Of pleasing odors fits in with
love Of pleasing melodies.
The things Of the senses are not
