had the right solution Of their trou-
bles all the time. When one is lost
and bewildered and far from home
all one has to do is to find q police
man. And If it is too dark to see a
policeman, even should one be near,
why, wait until the daylight comes.
For at night are there not angels
and a Heavenly Father who watch
over little nests, no matter whether
they happen to be in the pine woods
or in snug beds at home?
And when the dark was gone and
the light had come again, was not
there a policeman? Surely there
was. Bless your hearts. John Alex
ander and Mary Elizabeth! When
you have grown older and left behind
the gentle age of eight and. mayhap,
become lost and bewildered again,
things may seem more complicated.
But perhaps they will only seem so,
and will not really be so. Maybe the
important thing is to wait. as you did
in your nest in the pine forest under
the stars, until light, and q police
man come along.

Daylight and the Policeman.

When Hansel and Gretel were lost
In the wood it was not until the third
morning that they came up to the
cottage, made of bread and cake with
window panes of clear sugar. And
being very hungry it was only natural
for them to begin eating the delicious
roof and sampling the window panes
and thus getting themselves into all
that trouble with the witch.
One does not know what the Miller
twins would have done under similar
circumstances. But the incident of
the tourist camp is revealing. The
tourist camp said "seventy-five cents" :"
They did not have seventy-five cents.
So the tourist camp was out. One
cannot imagine a cottage Of bread
and cake with window panes Of clear
sugar being anywhere near the Balt-
more boulevard and not having a
sign on It that said at least "Five
Cents" And as they did not have
five cents, the twins would probably
have passed up the cottage, too, had
they come upon one.

Supports Criticism of
ID. C.. Street Car Service
To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
The criticism by Philip O'Donnell,
IT,, of the street car service in WASH
ington, printed in your issue of Febru-
ary 10, is very much to the point, and
no one can accuse The Star of sup
pressing facts of interest to the general
public. May add that The Star is to
be highly complimented on its untiring
efforts in protecting the interest Of
the street-car-riding public, such as is
evidenced by the printing Of that
letter?
Last Summer I was interested In
studying the street car systems Of vari-
GUS European countries. It struck me
that the Washington D. c., street cars
are getting away with murder. In the
first place, the fare Is twice as high
and the service not half as good as
that rendered by the street cars in Eu-
ropean countries. The best street car
systems are found in Scandinavia and
Holland. Compare these spick and
span, scrupulously clean street cars Of
Holland, Sweden, Norway and Den
mark with many Of the old-fashioned
"Toonerville" trolley cars that are
pressed into service to swell the profits
of the Washington street car COM
pany! Can you imagine the taxpayers
of those countries consenting to being
packed like sardines on the front and
rear platforms? For the past year !
have never seen q full" sign in use
How about the sanitary conditions?
Do you wonder that Washington Is
swept py flu epidemics? We are
warned against congested public
amusement places, in such cases, but
the street cars are certainly the worst
spreaders Of disease. Is there no regu-
lation in regard to the number Of pas
sengers to be carried on street cars

Bonuses and War Profits.

If there remained any lingering
doubt anywhere that war does not
make profits the testimony given be-
fore the Senate Munitions Committee
by Eugene G. Grace should remove
that doubt. Mr.. Grace. as president
Of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation
and the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Cor
poration. received bonuses amounting
to Sl2,282,OOO in the years from 1917
to 1881. These bonuses were paid in
addition to an annual salary of $l2,-
600. During the two years. 1917 and
1918. when he was helping to manu-
facture steel and build ships for use in
the World War, Mr.. Grace's bonuses
were a total of s2,887, 900. In justice
to Mr.. Grace it must be said that he
received large bonuses in other years
from 1919 to 1923 inclusive, ranging
from 1921 900 in 1922 to $852,000 In
1925. Two years that did almost as
well for Mr.. Grace in the matter of
bonuses as the war years were 1929
and 1890, when he received total of
more than $2,60O000.
The testimony of Mr.. Grace before
the Senate committee included a
statement that he believed war be-
tween nations brutal and unnecessary.
But at the same time he defended
the bonus idea of rewarding industrial
efficiency and made claim that the
operation Of munitions and other
plants by the Government during war
would not prove efficient. In time
of war. Mr.. Grace said, there should
be no reduction in the compensation
of industrial officials unless the pay OF
officers and privates in the Army and
of laborers were reduced in the same
proportion. In this connection it is
not without interest to note that Mr..
Grace's bonuses jumped to nearly
s.. 900, 900 for the two war years, and
there was very little increase in the
compensation of any officers or en-
listed men of the Army during that
period.
Mr.. Grace insisted that nothing had
ever been discovered that would make
men work as hard as the lure Of
money and profit. whether in time Of
war or peace. The Government. Mr..
Grace might recall, put men into uni
forms to go to the front and fight and
work. at a minimum wage. These
men, moreover, gave the best they had
in them, despite the fact that there
was no money or profit in the war
FOR them. If the Government under
took to operate munitions and ship
building and steel plants during war
time, to produce the supplies neces-
sary for the safety of the Nation, 1t
is possible that it might even find
executives of sufficient ability to run
them for compensation somewhat
lower than Mr.. Grace received. And
they might even be run efficiently.

Stronger National Defense
Measures Widely Applauded

Americas reluctance to increase the
scope Of national defense is seen by
press observers to have been modified
in the face of belligerent moves in
other parts of the world. Official
demands for an increase in the per-
sonnel Of the Army are favorably re-
ceived, while elaborate plans under
Navy auspices arouse public interest.
The current appeal for adequate
defense preparation" according to
the New Orleans Times-Picayune, "is
doubly based, on the world evidences
of its need and the proofs of its
present deficiency. We seek no con-
quests. No militaristic fever spreads
its infection upon this most unwar-
minded of all peoples. But history,
our own experience and ordinary
common sense combine to warn us
that if We value our own peace. our
own national safety, our own ideals
and institutions, We must build up
and maintain land, sea and air de-
fenses strong enough to protect them
against any and all threats and in
any emergency"
This year." it Is pointed out by the
Manchester IN. H. Union, Army ap-
preparations total approximately 1884,
100000. In his annual budget the
President proposed that this amount
should be increased to $4,000, 900
for the coming year. In the mean
time bill has been presented to the
House Military Affairs Committee
calling for an expenditure of $4O5,-
100000. We will be told that this Is
a step in the direction of militariza-
ton, involving needless expense at a
time when the budget is already
seriously out of balance. But there
are other considerations that must not
be overlooked. No one would deny
the need of an Army adequate for our
national defense. Moreover, it would
seem to be imperative that such de-
fense agency should be kept on rea-
sonable basis of efficiency. These two
propositions are automatic to any de-
fense policy"
Analyzing the American position,
the San Francisco Chronicle advises
the development of definite attitude
toward policies growing out of the
quarrels Of other nations, and that
paper states: "The two European
wars that we got into. and the two
more that we barely kept out of,
came at us over our doctrine of the
freedom of the seas If we keep
that doctrine unchanged, and if we
maintain it during the next European
or Asiatic war, We shall get into that,
too, in the same way. What we need
to do, against that danger, is not
to arm Primarily 1t is to
think. If we will decide what our

Great Moral Collapse
OF American People

To the Editor of The Star.
1t would be an interesting specula-
ton as to the influences that have
reversed and lowered the hitherto great
moral concepts of the American peo-
pie Be the causes as they may We are
faced with the disheartening fact,
which has been so strikingly illus
trated in much of the legislation Of
the Congress the past two years and
by the decisions of our Supreme Court
in support of it.
The writer is not so much concerned
with the purely legal questions in
volved in the decisions of the court
in the gold clause cases as he is with
the moral implications and conse-
quences at issue therein. AS for the
law of the cases he unreservedly with
nearly 40 years experience as a
lawyer concurs in the opinion Of the
dissenting justices.
The majority opinion is based solely
upon opportunism and material con-
siderations. 1t utterly ignores the fact
that all law, worthy of the name. is
grounded in morality and. metaphori-
cally speaking, has its origin in the
bosom Of God. from which only right,
justice and morality can emanate. The
decisions are in marked contrast to
the action Of the man mentioned in
the Bible Of whom it is said, He
sweareth to his own hurt and changeth
not"
How inconsistent we arei In one
breath we are extravagant in ap-
proval and praise of the rectitude Of
little Finland in paying the interest
on her debt to us, which she might
have repudiated without apparent
dishonor, as did the other European
powers; and prior thereto we con-
demned the action Of Germany in
disregarding her solemn obligation to
observe and maintain the neutrality
Of Belgium, and even went to war
not only to protect our own rights,
but also to vindicate the sacrednesS
of international obligations. But now
we applaud and approve an act that
conflscates private property rights.
and repudiates the plighted honor Of
the Nation for a supposedly imme-
diate economic advantage, with no
thought of its implications and future
consequences.
Much of the recent legislation Of
Congress and these decisions Of the
court have inflicted upon the con-
science and moral sense of the Amer
ican people wound from which it
will take a hundred years to recover.
Verify. they who SOW the wind shall
reap the whirlwind.

Fundamentals" and
The Gold Decisions

To the Editor Of The Star:
BY q single phrase. stripped of the
fundamentals" Mr.. Justice Mercy
nolds reveals the attitude of mind
leading to his dissenting opinion in
the recent gold clause cases. Mis-
taking "revaluation of the gold con-
tent Of the American dollar" for "de-
basement of the currency" the
learned gentleman who agreed with
the minority position fell into an er-
ror easily understood and only re-
vealed by the passionate rejection of
the majority opinion of their associ-
ates. Thus we have the wishful
thinking Of conservatism in that ex-
preston. stripped Of the funda-
mentals."
Two items of economic history offer
clarity to the minds Of those still in
doubt. First it should be recalled that
it was Germany in 1871, by reason of
her sudden dominant financial power
due to payment Of the French war debt,
that forced restrictions upon the mints
of the Latin union and the United
States, and thus by degrees the whole
stress of the trade of the west was
transferred from the old composite cur
rency TO gold alone. This act cut In
half the basis Of credit In the chief
commercial nations and diminished
the annual supply of metal for coinage.
It made the major contribution to our
national panic of 1873. Thus gold
appreciated until it acquired q pur-
chasing power unequaled since the
Middle Ages" Lord Overstone. In one
Of his letters on the Bank Charter" in
1855, described this outcome of making
gold the basis and its benefits to
usurers. at would create controlled
contraction and deflation," thus plac-
ing the wealth of the world in. the
hands OF those who understood its
operation. Certainly to change that
is to be stripped OF the fundamentals" ."
Brooks Adams, in Laws of Civilization
and Decay" chapter XII, traces this
contraction and Capitalization through
history.
In Ruding cAnnals of the Coinage
Of Great Britain" vol. l, page 1880
may be found an account Of the agree
ment by Henry to keep the coin Of
the realm free from debaSement, more
than a century before the Magma
Charta. But such "debasement" was
an actual reduction of the amount of
metal in the coin, not an alteration
of the value of the metal because of
its quantity in existence. And the
function of coming the money was at
that time farmed out to "moneyers," /"
who paid for the privilege.
Democratic institutions make the
people their own 'moneyers." and "re-
f1ation" due to the change in the value
of a metal which other nations refuse
to pay despite their most sacred con-
tracts seems to be rational action. un-
less one wishes to invite ruin and desc
| lation rather than promote general
welfare, as sworn under the Consti-
! tuition. Already merchants have ad-
! justed the quality of their goods to
the actual value of the dollar, for after
all "the people" are concerned with
the purchasing power of their money,
not with its power to wrest wealth
from their fellows. Congress. the
President and the Supreme Court have
| acted for the people.

want to know how most easily to end
its life. He will be told, as sometimes
he is, that a needle stuck deftly
through its eyes is the best way. or
a pair OF sharp scissors to chop off its
head at one cut, or a jar of alcohol
into which to drop it.
Others will believe that so long as
there Is life there is hope, and that
the sick fish must be left to end its
days in such peace as 1t can find,
when Nature has deserted it, the end
she foredoomed it to in the beginning,
if food and beast could not alto

As one looks into the aquarium, he
sees readily enough why mankind has
always insisted that the sick person

Whether or not strength is thus

that in the end a total lack OF 1000

Hence the patient and invalid Is
tempted to eat things he does not

The boldest i'll people compare
