Eyes on New York.

Election of a New York Assembly next
Tuesday is holding the center of the
political stage for the time being. At
present the Assembly is Democratic.
The count is 76 Democrats to 73 Repub-
licans, with one vacancy in a Democratic
district. Not much of q margin of con-
troll, but enough to have been the boast
of the Democrats after the last Assembly
election. If the Republicans win con-
troll, therefore, even by as slim a meas
ure as that of the Democrats today, the
prestige of the Democrats in New York
will be dimmed. Indeed, the prestige Of
the Roosevelt administration outside of
New York will have been dimmed. For
the country is prone to interpret election
results on q national scale.
New York happens to be the Presi-
dents own State. It happens to have
more electoral votes for President than
any other State In the Union. It gave
to President Roosevelt In 1882 . tire.

Our 1887 Budget.

1887 budget is not possible at this time
because of a lack of details, but there
Is to be found in it much food for re-
Election. The grand total of SAT 482, ,760,
as submitted to the Bureau of the
Budget, is based on estimated revenues
with the present s1.50 realty tax rate
and a more equitable Federal payment.
With the recommended payment by the
United States of s8,317,500, the budget
would be we'll within the estimated re-
ceipts and would make unnecessary the
finding of new sources of taxation.
The amount which the Commissioners
ask of the Government is the same as
last year and represents only 1712 per
cent of the budget total, while the sub
the Federal payment be continued at
SIS, 700 900 this would mean only II per
cent.
The return by Congress to its plain
duty toward it's Capital in the item of
national contribution would rapidly
make up many of the Districts deficien-
cies in urgent needs. Such a change
In congressional policy would speed the
clearing up of many, at present, unSolv-
able problems. Adequate school accom-
modations, courts buildings, Municipal
Center, health program and other def
ciencies could then be included in COM
prehensive plans.
The reluctance of some congressman
to be just in fiscal matters toward the
people of the District is explained by
them as their effort to carry out the
wishes of their constituents. They
the squandering of their constituents
money on the District of Columbia. The
conviction prevails throughout the Dis
trict that if these congressman really
took the trouble to acquaint their con-
stituents with the facts there would be
no dificulty in satisfactorily defending
Just liberality toward the National
Capital.
Let them tell their constituents that
nearly all of the money appropriated by
Congress for the District is raised by
direct local taxation in amounts compar-
able with the municipal tax revenues OF
larger, richer American cities. Let them
explain that of the United States funds
appropriated for the District sub
stantial part is derived from District
payers of Federal taxes. But the most
enlightening and convincing of state
ments by Congressman to his con-
stituents would be that the District Of
Columbia last year paid $12,638 IA in
national taxes-internal revenue alone
which was more than was paid by each
one of twenty-three States; that this
amount paid was greater than the COM
bined payments of nine States, and in
per capita payments greater than thirty
eight States. And, II to these statements
was added the information that some
of the States receive from the United
States in financial aid amounts greater
than their Federal tax payments and
that the District is usually denied par
ticipation in such aid, the last possible
valid objection to fiscal equity for the
District would vanish.
The primary obligation for the mainte-
nance, upbuilding and adornment Of
the Nations own Capital City rests
on the National Government, which
exclusively controls it, and 1t Is be-
lieved that the vast majority Of Amer
leans, proud Of their Capital, will be
satisfied to see it treated with just
liberality by Congress.

Indian Summer

Where the wild geese southwark fly
And the brown leaves scattered lie
Over wooded path and stream,
Where the partridge berries gleam
Underneath the first light snow
Melting in the sunset glow,
From the wintry leaves blown down
would lift your eyes Of brown
To wing seeking warmer cline,
And red berries touched by rime
I would fasten on your breast
In the face I love the best
would fling flame DER its snow
Till 1t melted in the glow

Barrett declared that during the
period of surveillance of the alleged

conference with Carnell at the Lin
coin Way Hotel in Rockville where he
keeps bar.
Taken into custody, Carnell, Bar
rett said. disclosed he was disgruntled
because he had not received what he
thought was his proper share of the
$3.50 allegedly paid by Mrs. Lyddane.
Barrett said Carnell claimed he re-
ceived only $50, while Boland got 5000
and the third man kept $500.

CARMEL, police asserted, confessed
he was to be the contact man" be-

Lyddane had urged haste in carrying

Lyddane became incensed yesterday
afternoon when photographers at

emerged from the Rockville court
House after his wifes release. He
broke a plate-holder of one photog-
rapher and nearly came to blows with
several of them.

But Paris still believes that Britain's

struggle will be much lessened. The
hope that Hitler'S regime will be de-

The Yugoslav government is still in
favor of France, but what the attitude
of the people of Yugoslavia will be in
case of real trouble is one of those un-
known things which diplomats cannot
guess at. The instinct Of self preser-
vation is developing every day
stronger in Europe. 1t is that in
stinct which makes Russia and
Czechoslovakia bellicose at this mo-
ment; and it is this instinct which has
created such change in the French
people who only 18 months ago would
have scorned any suggestion that they
should don the steel helmet and the
gas mask and fight again.
Mussolini is busy building his fences.
He is busy putting the whole Italian
nation on war footing. not because
he intends to fight the Germans but
because he may be drawn into a con-
f1ict.
But Mussolini is a realist. He does
not see any threat to Italy's position
in Europe, if Germany is rearmed and
he is sufficiently convinced in Italy's
strength to fight it out with Germany
any time that nation would menace
directly Italy's position in the world.
But Mussolini sees only disadvan-
tages and disasters for his country II
she were to fight a war for the main
tenance of treaties which he himself
had denounced year ago. There is
profit for the future Italian genera
tions in a war of conquest against
Abyssinia even if it cost Italy hum
dreds of millions of dollars and thou
sands Of lives.
Mussolini is going to support the
diplomatic action of the former allies
against Germany. He may even rattle
the Saber violently in the hope that it
may have a certain effect in Berlin.
But in the meantime he continues
to send troops to Assawa, in Erytrea,
and is patching up the differences
with Yugoslavia so as not to have a
potential enemy on Italy's flank when
he begins the great adventure in
Ethiopia.

deSerting her ally. But Germany. with
her strong air force and her powerful
army. does constitute a menace to
Poland's independence. And Marshal
PilSudsky recalled the fact that some
IL years ago the French people ex-
pressed without hesitancy the opinion
that it would be folly for them to go
and fight war with Germany be-
cause OF Poland. He also reminded
Eoen that in 1888, when he saw the
danger of Germany's rearmament,
neither the French nor the British
took the matter very seriously. Mus
solini and Litvinoff. who are now vio-
lently denouncing the junking Of the
Versailles treaty, found the departure
of the German delegates from the
Geneva Arms Conference natural and
logical. Poland is not willing to be

The whole trouble is that Germany
won't get inside the barracks, and OBJ
servers say that it will take more
than the platonic threat of encir-
cling the Reich with steel wall to
make Hitler change his mind. 1t is
rot easy to build such wall now-a-
days. The fact that the Reich has at
present one of the strongest aviation
forces and one of the most powerfully
trained armies in the world makes
the component parts of such a wall
somewhat shaky.
Russia. France and Czechoslo-
Ddkid are quite 1Uilling to go the
limit to prevent Germany from
becoming again the dominating
poUer in Europe. But the others
are doubtful. II such a feat could
be accomplished without war
they ,Uould all hop on Germany.
But since it is euident that they
mill hare to fight, their enthusiasm
is diminishing every day.
The whole world has its eyes pinned
on Great Britain. which has under
taken the task of keeping the peace
in Europe. So far, however, the re-
suits of the British peace missions
have been negative.
Sir John Simon has accomplished
less than nothing in Berlin He has
obtained the Reichsfuehrers assurance
that Germany does not think of dis
turbing the peace in Western Europe
provided the French leave him alone.

COLONEL IS ACCUSED
BY SWITZ NOTEBOOK
Retired French Officer Faces
Court on Charges-Judges
Weigh Mercy Plea.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, April 3.-Octave du Moulin,
retired French Army colonel, said by
authorities to be named in the little
black book of Robert G. Switz as
agent 624," was confronted in the
spy ring trial today with testimony
he sold military secrets.
Du Moulin. former editor of a mill
tary magazine, was accused of obtain
ing copies of war college lectures
which ne handed to a liaison agent
who delivered them to Switz and his
wife to be photographed.
The prosecutor asked that the
Switzes, Americans. be exempted from
punishment because of the disclosures
they made to French authorities. The
judges were said to be pondering how
to word their verdict so that it would
take into account the Switzes' confess
sions and at the same time insure
their release.
