Sappers Are Coming
BY James T. Williams. Jr.

There are no American stu
dents now touring the British
Isles attempting to convinc,
British students in schools, col
1egeS and universities that they
ought to abandon their system
OF government and establish in
its place the American system.
But a group Of British stu
dents has recently arrived in this
country to advocate the superior
1ty Of the British system of gov.
ernment to the American SyS.
TEN. In justice to the visitors
however. it should be said that
this extraordinary expedition is
not sponsored by the government
or people Of Great Britain. It is
sponsored by an organization
operating under the name Of the
National Students Federation.
This is an organization which
Is apparently closely affiliated
with the So called Student
League for Industrial Democ-
racy," and "The American Youth
Congress-" and "The National
Student League" and "The Com
mittee on MilitariSm in Educa-
ton"
These organizations are appar-
emily disseminating propaganda
among American schools, colleges
and universities which is intensely
hostile to the American system of
government. The propaganda in
cludes the notorious "Slackers'
OATH" by the terms Of which its
signers pledge themselves "to re-
fuse to go to the defense Of the
Government Of the United States"
even when the country is attacked
by a foreign foe.
These organizations, backed by
o group Of Radicals in politics, are

AIMS ARE ANTI.AMERICAN
The English students, although
sponsored by these sapperS
against the Common Defense in
particular and the American Sys-
tenn Of government in general,
have not included the Common
Defense in the list of subjects they
are to debate.
But the list Of subjects reveals
the anti-American purpose which
the debates have been apparently
scheduled to serve.
The students from oxford Uni
versity, England, will uphold the
following contentious:
First, That "The judiciary
should have no power to override

Dies Farm Relief
Plan Is Not New
To the Editor OF The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
In The Evening Star of January z.
1885, I read a news item entitled:
Dies Offers New Farm Relief Plan"
I wish to mention the fact that
this plan is not SO new" since 1t
has a precedent, which was discussed
between the Hungarian government
and Landowners Association In
March, 1888, and of which a brief ex-
PLANTATION was published in the
Worlds Agricultural Journal, Land.
wirtschaftliches Weltblatt and Revue
Universelle d'Agriculture. April, 1888.
The solution of farm relief and
marketing problems by tariff bene-
fits" and domestic quotas" was pro-
posed by me in plan. which in
cludes all details for realization.
My plan was examined by Q COM
mittee of four. namely: Representa-
tive Count A. FeSteticS, Senator Bar
on M. Kornfeld, Representative A.
Mecser and the president of the
Flour Mill Industry, r. Schmidt, and
found suitable for solving the prob
lens of agricultural production and
marketing. STEPHAN DE LADO.

Ireland Is Economically
Independent of England

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorial An Anglo-Irish
Truce" is founded upon the gratuitous
assumption that, as you say, Ireland
has found it impossible to get along
without England. For this there Is
not the slightest warrant in fact.
Ireland has never been as prosperous
as it has been in the last year
The De Valera government has
demonstrated that Ireland contains
such potential resources as make her
economically independent of Eng
land. 1t was not any distress on the
part of the Irish people that brought
about this trade agreement, but the
acute distress of the British coal
trade. which Is one of the chief sources
of British economic life. Ireland can
get along perfectly well without ship
ping cattle to England, where, Incl
dentally. there is now no market for
them because of the worlds glut Of
cattle; but England cannot get along
without a market for her coal. 1t
was England, not Ireland, that first
hollered enough! in this economic
conflict which England herself pre-
cipitated. 1t is, therefore, a great
victory for the De Valera govern
ment and one of the most conspicuous
successes of genuine statesmanship
in recent years.
When we recall that the economic
warfare between these two countries
was started by England that it might
compel Ireland to pay sum Of
money that Ireland did not owe,
and that England has now surren-
dered to this large extent in this
economic struggle, without further
reference to her demand for the
money not owing to her, it is obvious
that the present Irish government
has won to conspicuous and mem
orable success. and that England has
undergone at its hands a humiliating
defeat.
The inevitable consequence of this
defeat is that Ireland is as able
economically as she is politically to
take care of herself in the complete
independence which she is now soon to
achieve. ANDREW I. HICKEY.

Subway Comes Nearest
Solving Traffic Problem
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
Isn't The Star just a bit haSty IN
assuming in its editorial "one Thing
at a Time" (January IA, l935 that
there is no demand for q subway IN
washington, or that the idea will have
to be sold" to members OF Congress
and citizens associations? Many OF
the latter have already placed them
selves on record In favor of an un-
derground transportation system as
. final solution of Washington's traf-
fic and trafic- accident problems. Re-
routing of existing surface lines will
solve only part Of the problem, and
can scarcely be regarded as more than
q temporary panacea.
Many residents of Washington with
whom / have discussed the trafiic
problem agree that something should
be done to relieve our congested down.
town thoroughfares of their growing
burden of traffic. The question OF
present cost can hardly be weighed
against ultimate cost-in lives, delay
and general progress. At just what
value does the city Of Washington
place the hundreds who were killed or
seriously injured on its streets in 1884?
I do not know Mr.. Roberts nor have

plans for an underground railway. but

he has the power to appoint his as
sistants. Retention of these powers
by the trustees and the librarian as
sures in the community interest the
continued enthusiastic community
support of the library, which created
it. secured appropriations for it,
including grant of the money for
its original equipment of books,
secured for it the gift of the
Carnegie building, promoted its
wholesome development at every stage
of its growth, and has been a main
factor in blessing the community with
its highly useful and creditable free
public library of today. Meanwhile,
the Commissioners retain the initia-
tive, continuing and final supreme
power of library control, which is
held by some to be desirable in the
ideal library system for Washington.
Since if paragraph l6(a) is to be
retained in the bill the Zoo, the parks,
the schools and the Public Library
must or should be excepted from its
application, why retain it at all? Are
not the powers demanded by it so
broad, so drastic, so extraordinary. SO
unprecedented that they should not be
applied to any board or any official?
Will it not be in the interest of the
Commissioners, as well as in the in
terest of the community, if paragraph
l6(a) be eliminated from the proposed
bill? Will not the Commissioners
weaken their plea for a deserved in
crease of reasonable powers by de-
manding insistently extraordinary and
drastic powers which raise at every
turn new, reSentful and dangerous
opponents of the bill who may by CO.
operating delay enactment of the bill
or defeat it entirely?

Lloyd Georges New Deal.

If imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery, the architects and builders
Of the New Deal have plenty of cause
for pride these days, with New Deals
blossoming in foreign countries on
both sides of the Atlantic and modelled
in each case upon the great expert
ment in progress in the United States.
Premier Bennett of Canada has
launched a Rooseveltian program and
will wage the impending Dominion
parliamentary campaign with it as a
platform. In France Premier Flandin
projects a scheme bearing N. r. A.
and A. A. A. earmarkS.
OF most recent origin is the New
Deal for Great Britain, which former
Prime Minister David Lloyd George Is
now advocating with all the spectacu-
lar vigor that characterizes the little
Welshman's" political crusades. He
took the warpath on native heath in
Wales last night. The occasion also

IDENTIFY bankers to duplicate the his
toric comeback of Gladstone, who,
at seventy-one and after being out of
ONCE for six years, embarked in 1880
upon the series of famous campaign
speeches that re-won him the prime
ministership, which he held, except
for a couple of intervening Salisbury
governments, until 1894.
Britain's World War leader frankly
proposes to regenerate the country on
the pattern now in vogue here. He is
particularly enthusiastic over Mr..
Roosevelt's plan to expend several
billion dollars on public works as un-
employment relief in substitution for
the dole system. OF special interest is
the Lloyd George proposal to set up
a powerful permanent planning coun-
Gil or brain trust" functioning with
out political interference, to prepare
definite programs for action, with
Parliament legislating on general
questions alone. Capital for carrying
out brain trust schemes would be
raised each year. IL. G." would float
forthwith q vast prosperity loan,'
which he believes the nation would
enthusiastically oyersubScribe, for the
purpose Of launching a New Deal, but
he would have the Bank OF England
divested of present status and brought
into closer contact with commerce
and industry. Agriculture bulks con-
spicuously in the Lloyd George plan,
too. with far-reaching plans for land
settlement.
Extolling President Roosevelt as
man of indomitable courage" the
British statesman broadly urges his
compatriots to follow the path back
to prosperity now marked out in the
United States. Lloyd George has
acquired a powerful ally in the per-
son of former Chancellor of the
ENchequer Viscount Snowden. In ad-
dition to their political views. they
share a cordial antipathy to Prime
Minister Macdonald. Lord Snowden
bespeaks for Il. G.'s" bold and
enterprising measures widespread
national support. These include a
comprehensive economic security es-
tablishment along lines just recon-
mended for the United States by
President Roosevelt.

Discussion Of the Presidents budget

Nation can supply, without danger.
the four billions Of dollars now sought
for public works to provide employ
ment, but conceding that the burden
soon must be shifted from the Gov
ernment.
The credit Of the Government still
stands high" says the Nashville Ban
ner, but how long 1t can meet such
demands as are now being made and
contemplated Is question which
must increase in seriousness" The
Pasadena (Calif) Star-News COM
ments: While the aggregate sums
mentioned in the budget are dificult
to comprehend because Of their mag
nitude, there are compensating pos
sibilities, chief of which is the hope
that the country is working out Of
its troubles, and that soon more en-
ployment and new business will be
operating to hasten recovery"
THE Treasury can swing the deficit
this budget implies, yet We are rapidly
approaching the time when revenue
and expenditure must be brought into
balance" thinks the Rochester Times
Union.
Such assurance rs Is to be found

ment's resort to further borrowing

wages under 1t will be paid at rates
which will tend to encourage workers
to return to private jobs. The key
both to the Presidents budget plan
and to the present recovery policy
Of his administration is to be found
in this decision"
America might affect temporary

IN. Co. Journal, "at the expense Of
human misery, but this would unbal-
anee the economic structure Of the
Nation" The Dayton (Ohio) Herald
condemns extreme advocates Of Gov
ernment economy who would balance
the general budget, whatever public
suffering that action might involve" :"
The Birmingham Age-Herald holds
that there could be no balancing Of
the budget, as long as the Government
continued to carry the responsibility
Of tiding over the unemployed"
1T seems probable that the country
will remain on the borrowing basis,
paying lower rates of interest than the
past has witnessed" says the Danbury
tConn.) News-Times, while the Akron
Beacon Journal contends that the
Government should adhere only to
projects that are clearly essential" 4"
and the Syracuse Herald, observing
that the President seeks to administer
the whole fund, concludes that 1T
seems incredible that Congress would
deny the Presidents request. The
Jersey City Journal points out that "a
President would justify his admins
