literature began. and since that
time many world famous names
have appeared.

work Of several outstanding Rus
slams. including Tolstoi and Turgen-
Jeff, as we'll as others, ending her
program by reading a group of Sc
leeted Russian poems. An open

held by the members, the discus

France and Her Alliances.

Disarmament prospects having
dwindled to the vanishing point,
France is bestirring herself in other
directions with q view to fortifying
herself in Europe against the dangers
she emissions in Germany's determi-
nation to rearm in defiant violation
Of the Treaty of Versailles. The
French have been indulging in the
belief that Great Britain. herself
conscious Of the perils inherent in q
rearmed Reich, especially on the sea
and in the air. would be persuaded
to enter into security guarantee
pact with the cross-channel neighbor;
but with indicated British reluctance
to accept commitments which would
require John Bull to fight again on
the Continent as the entente cordiale
called upon him to do in 1914, France
is compelled to look elsewhere.
Naturally she turns to her existing
alliances-with Poland and the three
countries of the Little Entente. To
that end M. Louis Barthou, foreign
minister in the Doumergue cabinet,
is now in Warsaw, in conference with
the Polish government and military
authorities. M. Barthou. who @
French minister of war concluded
the military alliance with Poland in
1921, Is concerned to solidify that
pact for France, which has had some

Military Elements
OF Parade Praised
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
As a foreigner who has witnessed
most of the parades in Washington
since the Inauguration of ex-President
Hoover, and who has severely criti-
cized and considered them almost
mere poppy shows" think it not
out Of place at this time to express
publicly a foreigners impression OF
Fridays parade.
have never seen q finer body OF
men. The naval and military units
were all that one would expect Of an
up-to-date and leading Nation Of the
world. Uniforms spic and span with
buttons polished and boots well shone
beautiful horses perfectly groomed and
all other accoutrement looking just as
though being used for the first time
Not thing looking careless or slack
not man out Of place.
Whereas before I have had the ex-
pected respect for the fighting forces
of America, I now have a certain
reverence and admiration for them
and can be sure that I have only
before seen them at a disadvantage
The cadets also appeared to me
much smarter and military than here
tofore and were a genuine credit.
AS to the rest of the parade I might
say there was not too much of it and
it was good, all excellently done.
The fireworks in the evening were
some of the best, If not the best,
have ever seen and whoever was re-
sponsible for Fridays festival deserves
the greatest credit and admiration
It was one job well done. 1t is sin
cerely to be hoped that all will CO.
operate in future years to make the
Cherry Blossom Festival as great a
success as this first one, and take this
first year as an example of what can
be done. SIDNEY V. HOLT.

Treat for Lovers of Music.

The music lovers of Washington, it
may be presumed. look forward with
pleasant anticipation to April 80, May
l and May 2, when a music festival
OF q novel and most attractive variety
is promised. Representative church
choirs of the city are uniting in two
concerts and will join with the Ma
tional Symphony Orchestra in one
concert in aid Of the Columbia Bible
Training School. The three events
will be an authentic treat, and a
multitude of people, doubtless, will
take advantage of the opportunity to
attend.
The school, it should be explained,
is an nterdenominationa and coedu-
cational institution, founded in 1927
and devoted to the training of pastors,
missionaries, Bible teachers and, In
its choir division, practitioners of the
ministry of sacred music.
For each Of the first two programs
six choirs have been enlisted. for the

Some Questions Inspired
By Tugwell's Remarks

To the Editor of The Star:
Experiment! Prof. Tugwell says.
But isn't that our whole trouble?
Why experiments at all-experiments
by whom-by whose authority? Surely
not by Prof. Tugwell-not by the
President himself.
Democratic processes revised"
How revised-by whom? What is the
Congress for-what was 1t for?
Under our system of government Is
not revision left to the Congress
alone? Execution, to the Executive
alone? Otherwise, why any Congress
at all? Why any Executive at all?
'I am a professor" Mr.. Tugwell
says. But why q professor? Under
our Government where does any pro-
fessor come in? Is not the Executive
supposed to have left of with pro-
fessors thirty years ago?
It is conceded Eve have a precious
inventiveness which gets us out Of a
hole" And being in at the end of
four years, If our people stay in, it's
their own fault.
