with distaste the agony Of hours Of
unwilling attendance at such acad-
emies of affected banality. The
process was a bore, and the approved
result an aggravation.
But the studios of today are
quite different. The genius Of two
women-Isadora Duncan and Anna
Pavlowa-has worked a miracle of
change. The one revived the beauty
Of classic Greece, the other re-
asserted the best traditions of the
Italian-Fre ballet; and the color
full and dramatic achievement of the
Russian dancers patronized by the last
Of the czars gave them power to make
their teaching effective. Multitudes
awakened to a new appreciation of
what dancing may be. and the chill
dren-boyS as well as girls-were
among the first to catch the vision.
For more than two decades now
this tide of esthetic energy and influ-
ence has been flowing and youthful
hearts have been responding. The
child dancers of the earliest classes
themselves have become instructors,
each contributing an Independent
share to the increasing popularity,
grace and loveliness of the art. And
Washington is but one of the COM
munities in which the work is going
on. Practically every other city in
America, certainly every city in
Europe. has contracted the same
fever, the same aspiration. The world
is dancing, and the occasional citizen
who remains a mere bystander re-
joices in the fact. 1t happens that
the prosperity of blended music and
drama. discipline, health and happi-
ness is good for the human race.

The World Is Dancing.

This is the season Of the year when
the schools of the dance art in Wash
ington present their gifted young
pupils in annual revues. The city at
large may not be interested, but some
thousands Of parents, older brothers
and sisters and friends enthusiastically
turn out to applaud the skill of the
youthful artists. And the program
material is so much more attractive
than might be supposed that a candid
critic with no personal bias or preju-
dice finds in the recitals an authentic
delight, a genuine pleasure, exceed
ingly stimulating to the soul.
Time was when the average dane
ing school was a stiff and formal in

it with all their puny might. Many

From the Columbia Is. c. Record.
The American crop curtailment
system is spreading now to other
countries and commodities, the an
nouncement of rubber restriction
agreement, concluded at London the
other day, reveals.
The British once before did a lit
tie experimenting in price fixing for
rubber under the late and unlamented
Stevenson scheme. But the trouble
with the plan was that 1t worked too
well, sending the price of rubber up
from 16 cents to $1.50 a pound and
tempting the Dutch to get in on the
producing game. The result was that
the supply suddenly exceeded all de-
mands and the market crashed. Rub
ber fell in 1892 to cents a pound.
Thousands Of British investors were
ruined, more than $3.50, 200. 900 being
lost in the debacle.
This time, however, the Dutch are
in on the plan, Malaga, the Dutch
East Indies, Ceylon. India, Burma,
North Borneo and Siam, embracing
virtually all the rubber-producing
territory of the world, being all in
cluded in the program. The agree
ment, therefore, may work where the
Stevenson plan failed.

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
There Is q way to collect the war
debts!
Mr.. Frank Simonds has realistically
consigned them to the limbo of for
gettable impossibilities under present
policies, Republican or Democratic.
Yet 1t is entirely feasible to collect
them. How?
BY the use of a free money budget
to prevent the lowering of domestic
(American) price levels which ac-
companies that rise in the value of
the dollar in foreign exchange that
makes international debt payments
practically impossible.
Such a free-money budget, how
ever, can safely be employed only if
1t be pegged to statutory, domestic
(American) price index by variable
taxation formula, so that automatic
ally rising tax rates will prevent in
f1ation and stabilize price levels.
Otherwise this. the only feasible
method for injecting foreign money
into our domestic economy. might
create dangerous imitation and
make foreign debts too easily payable
in our own money.
Payment of foreign debts can thus
be made the instrument in substitute
ing for the export trade which is
necessarily restricted by debt pay
ment a thriving domestic industry
as basis for Unemployment Amer
ican standards of living may be
soundly and permanently enhanced in
this way If the payment of debts is
not concentrated into too brief q
period, so as to tend to substitute
foreign industry for basic American
enterprises which should not be dis
placed merely for the sake of tenn
porar1ly exaggerated standard of liv-
ing for our people.
1t Is not an extravaganza to hold
that the peace and prosperity of Occi-
dental civilization, so seriously in
jeopardy from the danger of recourse
to war as substitute for normal in
dustry, could be effectively imple-
mented by such course on the part
of the United States. Certainly sub
sidized dumping will never attain
anything but disaster in an interna-
tional economy.
In world that is and will remain
competitive, because life itself is in
herently competitive, war and physi-
cal conflict is a substitute for a mon
etary implementation of the COM
petitive transfer of property, includ-
ing land, in that peculiarly human,
non-C -CommuniStic, social instrument,
the open market. In truth, this state
ment should be reversed to say that
1t is human to go to market, brutal
to go to war: that 1t Is the competi-
tive market that has been substituted,
halingly, for the more primitive re-
sort to violence.
In a human world of sanity and
realism 1t is not private ownership,
then, but undemocratic control of
the market that establishes such own
ership, as the very basis of equity
and of law and order that creates
competitive inequity and so violence
and war. The effectiveness of human
evolution hinges upon maintenance
of freedom from such control through
a true democracy In government-I
do not say a pure democracy. In

national competition can only be pre-
vented from developing cut-throat

Masaryk, the 84-year-old veteran who
has been the head of the state con-
tinuously since its creation at the end
Of the World War.
Under his wise leadership and
steadying influence, ably aided by that

has achieved mounting Importance,
both politically and economically
Planted in the midst of hostile ma

Benes remains rock of stability in
Continental Europe, rugged and re-

countries are more potent or soidly

President Masaryk ranks with his
fellow chief executive, Field Mar

A Question of Conscience.

1t is argued that there is no real
difference of opinion between the
conferees on the District bill over the
amount of the Federal contribution
this year, both sides agreeing that the
figure should be S5,7O0,000. The diff
ference of opinion is whether seventy
per cent of the P. w. A. sewer and
park improvement allotment last
Summer should be deducted from the
lump sum, and thus reduce the lump
sum to S4,364 ,2e5.
The Commissioners have demon
strated to the satisfaction of the
Senate Committee that they accepted
the sewer allotment as a grant; that
they could not, legally, have accepted
1t as a loan, and would not, under
any conditions, have accepted it as a
loan. As far as park improvement
funds are concerned, the Commits
sioners had nothing to do with ac-
cepting or spending the funds.
The Commissioners must likewise
have demonstrated to the House
Committee that they accepted the
sewer money as a grant, and not as
q loan. For the House Committee,
in its report on the District bill made
just before its passage, said:
The committee recommends q Fed
eral contribution of S5,700,000, which
is the amount provided during the
current year and the sum recon-
mended in the Budget as transmitted
by the President. In addition to this
direct contribution the District Gov
ernment has received an ALLEGATION
for the construction of sewer projects
in outlying sections Of the District Of
Columbia. The District Government
will not be required to reimburse the
Federal Government to the extent of
seventy per cent of the amount Of this
ALLEGATION, as is provided for loans to
municipalities for local improvements,
as the sewer projects provided for in
this case are classified as Federal
projects"
To reverse this stand and attempt
now to make the District pay back
seventy per cent of a grant, that was
accepted only on the condition that
1t was a grant, suggests form of sharp
practice that one does not willingly
associate with scrupulously honest
government.
But to lump the repayment into
one year, when loans to the States
and cities by the P w. A. are repaid
over long term of years, is more un-
reasonable than ever. If this alleged
loan were repaid in ten years, for in
stance, the annual payments would
amount to something more than $133,-
500 year. Such annual repayments,
II extorted, should and would be ap-
propriated from the revenues of the
District, and not be deducted arbi-
trarily from the Federal contribution.
A question of conscience is at
stake in the conference on the Dis
trict bill, entirely aside from the
usual differences of opinion over the
size Of the Federal contribution.
