Attack by Hoover Arouses
New Deal Friends and Foes

(Ala) News declares that his mes
sage dealt in generalities, and the
Rochester Times-Union comments
"Mr. Hoover has pointed out some Sc
rious faults In the administrations
policy. Now it is his task, or that of
his party, to state what constructive
measures they themselves advocate"
Observing that the low mark in
conditions conceded with the end of
Mr.. Hoover's term and there has been
some minor recovery during the Roose
velt administration" the Lowell
(Mass) Courier Citizen concludes:
There are the facts. and they un-
doubtedly are damaging to Mr.. Hoo
ver's prestige in the popular judg-
ment."
Interpretation of the Hoover mes
sage as rallying cry for the Repub-
lican party, preliminary to the COM
ing campaign, is made by the Colun-
bus (Ohio) Dispatch, the Portland
(Me) Press Herald, the Elkhart (Ind)
Truth, the Schenectady IN. "
Gazette and the Oshkosh (Wis) Daily

Denial that Mr.. Hoover, although
he wrote as the present leader of his
party, could be a candidate for 1886
is made by the Watertown IN. ~

Japan or impinge upon her rights and
interests than the Japanese navy's
maneuvers on the other side Of the
Pacific later in the Summer will i'm
pinge upon ours. Both fleets will be
engaged In useful, legitimate practice
activities, rooted In tradition, justified
from every standpoint of national de-
tense and in no wise prejudicial to
friendly relations between the two
countries.
Japan is sure to welcome Admiral
Upham, his ships and his men in the
cordial spirit which inspires their visit.
If it serves to dispel any groundless
apprehensions which the United States
fleets plans may have aroused, the
American Government and people will
heartily rejoice, because, as far as this
country is concerned, there is not the
remotest suggestion of ulterior motive
in the maneuvers, which are to be
held in accordance with a program
projected long ago.

Should Make and Keep
Washington Beautiful
To the Editor of The Star.

To the Editor of The Star:
All residents that have regard for
the beauty of Washington are CRATE
full to see the fountains once more
playing in the parks and also are
glad indeed, for the sake both of
beauty and of health. to foresee the
final abatement of the smoke nui-
sance.
Now let us all unite in a campaign
against Strewing the streets and side
walks with litter and trash and
against destroying any more trees, so
that our Nations Capital may once
more lay valid claim to being one of
the. most beautiful capitals of the
world, and not merely the most dirty
and slovenly.
1t is well that merchants and other
business men are beginning to see. be-
fore it is too late, that their greatest
hope of increasing business lies in
preserving the charm and cleanliness
of the city as a whole.
Visitors will be attracted here the
year around, not merely in cherry
blossom time, by playing fountains,
Towering trees and gardens and
shaded streets. They are not at
tracted by endless vistas of outdoor
parking lots and streets that look like
garbage dumps. And retail business
is not improved nor will the traffic
problem" ever be solved by simply
slashing more streets wider for more
cars to rush through faster.

Communists in the
Defense Services

To the Editor Of The Star:
1t Is not clear to many people why
the naval oficer who reported to .
congressional committee that our
navy yards were honeycombed with
commMistic elements said that these
traitorous individuals could not be
discharged until they had given cause
Is it not true that those who hold
Government positions take an oath
to bear true faith and allegiance to
the United States and to support the
Constitution against all enemies, do
mestic and foreign? Why is not the
violation of that cath sufhcient reason
for promptly kicking traitors out Of
the service of the United States Gov
ernment?
Congress Is about to appropriate
$40o, 900 900 for the Army. If it would
appropriate 81 .0o0, 900 to establish a
penal colony on some distant island
and enact legislation providing for the
prompt deportation to that colony Of
any person seeking the destruction Of
the Government of the United States
by force. we would. at the end Of a
y
have had q net increase In the ma
tional safety. In the event Of war
with foreign nation the primary
danger to this country would not lie
outside our own borders. The great
danger would reside in the destruc-
ton of bridges, tunnels, power trans
mission lines, ETC., by the disloyal
forces which have been coddled and
encouraged by the namby- -pambyism
of our own Government.
And while looking into the matter
Of disloyal elements in navy yards,
it might be well for Congress to realize
that thousands of loyal. patriotic
descendants of the founders Of this
country are on the relief rolls, while
the pay rolls of our Government are
studded with the names of Pinks and
Reds, many of whom still speak the
English language with q marked
foreign accent. A complete investi-
cation of the records of those draw
ing Government pay should be made,
and disloyalty to the Government that
feeds them should constitute SUFFICIENT
reason for separating these vipers from
the pay roll. If our Government would
show a little more backbone in these
matters there would be less disloyalty

Americans on guard"

A Gesture to japan.

For many weeks well-meaning
groups of people in this country have
been bombarding President Roosevelt
with remonStrances against the forth
coming maneuvers of the United
States fleet in the Pacific. Their pro-
tests have been based on the theory
that the nature and extent of the
maneuvers-the number Of ships en-
gagged and the theater Of operations
in the Northeastern Pacific-are de-
signed to alarm the Japanese and
that the project is therefore un-
duly provocative"
Although the President and his
naval advisers do not share these
views, inasmuch as the fleets train
ing plans are purely normal and
customary, it has been decided to
make a friendly gesture in Japan's
direction. A good will" visit to
Yokohama is to be paid in May by
Admiral Frank B. Upham, COM
mander in chief of our Asiatic
Squadron, with his flagship. the new
10,o00-ton' cruiser Augusta Admiral
Upham will remain in Yokohama har-
Dor two weeks and will later spend a
week at Kobe. From May 4 to May II
q flotilla of eleven American destroyers
will anchor at Kobe. These sojourns
of courtesy in Japanese waters will
take place on the eve of the United
States fleets Pacific maneuvers, in
the course of which, as Secretary
Swanson has just taken occasion to
repeat, none of our ships will ap-
proach within two thousand miles
Of Japan.
The operations in question will
comprehend an exclusively American

Art and Taxation.

BY sudden reversal of decision the
Treasury Department holds that the
projected gift to the Nation by Andrew
W. Mellon of s5O.0OO,oo for national
gallery of art would not be exempt
from taxation, and it is stated that
this ruling places the project in serious
jeopardy.
It would seem strange if this de-
cision were final, to the end Of
probably preventing donation which
would give the people of America for
all time an institution of art at the
Capital. Whatever may be the merits
of the claims now being made upon
Mr.. Mellon for taxes which the Gov
eminent contends have been improp-
@erly evaded in the past, there can be
no warrant in justice for the strained
construction of the law to impose a
penalty upon the patriotic benevolence
which proposes the establishment Of a
center of art in Washington for the
benefit of all Americans.
For many years the establishment
of an art institution at the Capital
has been in evolution, with little prog
ress. A small space in the National
Museum has been set apart and main
tained for the exhibition of paintings
and styled gallery. Proposals for
the erection of suitable building as
a public project have met with faint
encouragement. Now Mr.. Mellon.
spossessor of a private collection of
great value and rare quality, proposes

WASHINGTON OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

a moon since any member Of the ad-
ministration party has taken his
courage in both hands and spoken
right out in meeting as Tydings did in
the Senate on April 2. The young
Maryland statesman is evidently bent
upon rivaling Senator Carter Glass of
Virginia as an unabashed Democratic
critic of the present state of the
Union. let the chips fall where they
may. Tydings still has few enough
years to his credit to aspire to national
honors at no too distant day, and his
admirers think he is going about 1t
the right way to convert himself into
presidential timber. With Gov.
Ritchie out of the picture, Maryland
rates fresh White House talent.
Wall Streets latest wisecrack Is
that some of our would-be currency
reformers seem bent upon paraphras-
ing Tom Marshall's famous witticism
with the claim that what this coun-
try needs Is a good five-cent dollar"
~
It Is suggested that the formal
authority Of the House Committee on
the Disposition of Useless Executive
Papers may be required before the
Treasury Department and the Bureau
of Internal Revenue will be at liberty
to destroy the several million income
tax pink slips filed on March Is.
There is no similar committee in the
Senate The chairman Of the House
committee is Representative Charles
]. Golden, Democrat, Of California.
Senator Wallace H. White, jr., Re-
publican, of Maine, says that not long
ago he narrowly escaped ruin in the
estimation Of group Of visitors from
his home State who we're surveying
the Senate scene from the galleries.
Armed with one of the diagrams
showing the location of members
seats, they observed, to their astonish-
ment and dismay. that In the place
designated for White a gentleman
was lolling in his chair, Enthusiastically
sound asleep. 1t happened not to be
the junior Senator from Maine, but
o fatigued colleague from another
State. Not wishing to disturb the
slumbering solon, Mr.. White tip-toed
away and sat down at desk several
yards distant.
II
Friends of Senator Arthur H.
Vandenberg think that Republican
victories in Michigan this week ma
terially enhance his presidential
availability. Even though Mr.. Roose-
welt carried the State in 1892 by 132,-
900, Michigan chose . Republican
Governor to succeed q Democrat in
1884 and reelected Vandenberg to
the Senate by 10000. On April 2 the
entire G. o. P. State ticket won
3-to-1 landslide victory, notably in
Detroit. As the elephant will prob
ably want q leader in 1896 who is
sure of carrying at least his own
State, Vandenbergians are more per-
suaded than ever that their candi-
date is the man.

Perhaps to ascertain for himself
whether racket in the Senate gen.
orally originates among members Of
the chamber or in the public gall
leries, Vice President Garner now oc-
casionally leaves the presiding ofh-
GERS rostrum for a listening post in
. seat on the Democratic side of the
floor.
