By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Reduced to simple language, the current dispute in Washington Is over this one point:
 Are MT. Roosevelt's recovery pol icies making actual gains against the depression. or are they not?
 It is true there is plenty of talk of ether things. From one side issues an appeal to moral princi- pleS" and sacred rights" which MT. Roosevelt is alleged to have put dn- Ger foot. On the other side re- sounds the rallying cry Of a new

MIDWAY, Pacific Ocean, March 14.-The distant roar of power full airplane climbing over the sea horizon will be a welcome sound to the two dozen inhabitants of this tiny atoll planted in the mid- dle of the earth's greatest ocean.
 Employed here to keep the Pa cific cable in working order they already are looking forward to greeting the first great clipper of the Pan-American Airways fleet which is expected to alight here in April on the way from Honolulu to Wake Island and thence to Guam, Manila and China.
 Sheltered Area Between Islands
 Midway is not the name of an island but is the descriptive term for the location of two islands, Sand Island and Eastern Island. The two dots of land were built up by the sands that lodge in the coral atoll surrounding what presumab- ly was once an undersea volcano.
 The inhabitants live on Sane Island, and it is in the sheltered area between the two islands that it is proposed the airplanes should alight.
 With the exception of few sec tions of the vast south Pacific, Midway is as far from a continent in every direction as any spot on the face of the globe.
 Nearly 4.000 miles of water lie between it and North America; it is more than 4,0O0 miles to the Asiatic mainland and 1000 miles to Honolulu.
 Like Tropical Garden
 Sand Island, the larger of the two specks. is about one and three quarters miles long and a little less wide. On it are the buildings put up in 1903 when the island was nothing but a sand waste. All the structures have double windows, so made to keep out sand storms. Now the place is like tropical garden with huge trees that grew from seedlings brought from Honolulu in tiny pots.
 There are many difficulties that aviation companies must conquer in laying mail and passenger air line across the Pacific in this locality. Not the least of these is the weather. There have been winds that blew 100 miles an hour al Midway, and a gentle south breeze that has been known to veer into a 50-mile gale from the north in the course of few hours

SEATTLE. March 14.-The en- tire crew of the President Jeffer- son. 100 men, struck today after a dispute over wages and conditions.
 Longshoremen, who were loading the vessel, also struck in sympathy.
 Officials of the company pro- fessed ignorance as to the cause of the strike.
 The seamen made no demands public but the Associated Press was informed that one of the chief troubles in the opinion of the strikers. was the breaking of an agreement whereby the company was to hire only sailors from the Union Hall but had actually en- gagged seven men elsewhere.
