In the third place, 1t harms those
with whom he talks, for instead of
helping them by approving Of them,
he hurts many by his lack of enthu-
siasm for their enthusiasms.
This is no small matter.
The concealed hope Of millions Is
for approval.
This desire exists in the greatest

The more self-centered one may be,

His hurt is far deeper than he

These subterfuges leave the harm

There really is no cure. the schemes

The root of this fault. in addition

As the time approaches for Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's retirement as
chief Of staff. prospectively some time
this year, speculation continues about
the next activities of that eminent
soldier, who still has nearly 10 years
to serve before reaching the Army re-
tirement age. One of the posts which
rumor assigns to him as a future
sphere OF duty Is that of American
high commissioner in the Philippines,
a place which will come into existence
under the independence plan. After
commanding military districts and
troops In the islands, Gen. Macarthur
IN 1928 became commander of the en-
tire Philippines department. so that

the total Is much larger than most

as possible, it falls far short of the
estimate made by Prof. E. r. A. Selig-
man, authoritative tax expert of CO.

was fair guess at the sum that might
be collected annually by Federsa, State
and local excise bureaus. Most stu
dents of the problem believe that along
with continued depression, the high
price of spirits, due to the tax, has re-
vived the bootleg industry TO an extent
that chiefly accounts for diminished
revenue receipts OfYicials Of the Fed

at one time reckoned that from half
to two-thirds of the spirits consumed
in the country was still of bootleg
origin. Meantime, because of the

tion Of the original building at North

tiOn OF the original building at North
Capitol and H streets nearly eighty
years ago. Even that building was
quickly congested and for q long period
the perennial question of its replace
ment was discussed in Congress with
out action. Finally, more than forty
years ago, proposal was made to acquire
q site several blocks north on North
Capitol street and the erection there
of q new housing for the great print
shop, which was rapidly growing in
equipment and personnel. By this
time the original structure was rated
as actually unafe. Complications over
the favored site, with some question
as to the price proposed to be paid
for it, which involved intricate consid-
erations Of personal interest, finally
caused the abandonment Of this loca-
ton, and after a further delay 1t was
decided to enlarge the original
structure on the same square. Thus
came into being the present main
building, to which was transferred all
the working equipment. leaving the
original structure as a storage house
Of increasingly dubious stability. 1t Is
now rated as actually q menace to life
and property, being in danger of de-
Struction by fire or by collapse. 1t
should have been razed and replaced
many years ago.
The Government Printing Once
now comprises a personnel of $500,
and its equipment Is valued at more
than $l0,000,000. 1t Is one Of the
busiest branches of the Government.
1t turns out an immense product Of
printed matter, being in fact one of
the largest, if not actually the largest,
typographical establishments in the
world. 1t should have a model hous-

all vestiges of the original plant and
to erect a sound, well-planned struc-
ture, should therefore be effective in

Depressing Spectacle
At Arlington Cemetery

To the Editor of The Star:
At Arlington last Sunday 1t was
depressing, to say the least of it, to
observe the evidence of carelessness of
some Of the visitors in and around the
beautiful Memorial Temple.
On the tagging within the double
colonnade around the seating area,
and especially in the approaches lead
ing to the rostrum, was a litter of
cigarette butts and partly burned
matches. To such an extent was this
true that as the people gathered for
the Mothers day services o caretaker
was out, brush In hand, sweeping the
trash away.
1t may be recalled by those whose
memories reach back a few years to
the time when the first memorial to
the Unknown Soldier was in place
with what shock the report was re-
ceived that thoughtless loiterers had
been observed sitting on the rather
low tomb. as it was then, or of leaving
fragments Of picnic lunches scattered
around. That was before the posting
there Of the sentry whose ceaseless
round now keeps watch over the sacred
precincts.

American comment on the enthu-
siasm with which all Of the far-flung
British Empire has been celebrating
the silver jubilee of King George v
appraises this modest sailor Kings
reign as one Of the most notable in
history. In q time of unrest and
falling monarchies. his strength and
influence as the head OF constitu-
tional government actually has grown
with the passing years and changing
conditions.
1T can hardly be said" according
to the New York Times, that the
period has rounded out an episode in
history as did the reigns of Elizabeth,
OF Louis or Of George III. For that,
history is still too much visibly' in
the making. What the jubilee cele-
bration brings most forcibly to mind
is the extent to which England and
the empire have stood four-square
during the chapter of political con-
fusion. In this rapidly changing era
the ovation by England to its King
is at least a symbol Of the power with
which British institutions and the
British constitution have been able
to resist the tendencies of the time"
In q crisis which might have split
civilization" declares the Los An
geles Times, there was only one
man in whose name the scattered de-
Tendencies were satisfied to retain
their British allegiance. That man
was King George v. To be the best
trusted-possibly the only trusted
individual among 400.000,000 people
occupying an area of nearly 12,00O,-
900 square miles, is a distinction to
give George V-however simple and
unassuming his personal attributes

tention to transplant the new embassy
from Peiping. The old imperial cap
ital will continue to be international
diplomatic headquarters.
The outside world has been under
the painful impression, ever since
Japan took away Manchuria from
China, that the government Of Presi-
dent Chang Kai-Shek was succumb-
ing progressively to Tokio'S influence
and that this development, coupled
with chronic civil war, has almost re-
duced China to q mere geographical
term. Perhaps the establishment of
ambassadorial relations with the
powers may have two results bene-
fetal to the hard-pressed regime at
Marking. 1t may on the one hand
serve to remind Toxic that the West
ern world is not ready to give Japan
China which Nippon's militants and
crave. On the other hand,
it may infuse the Chinese govern
ment with a more vigorous determi-
nation to put its house in order. and
with respect to both its domestic
affairs and its external relations, so
to comport itself as to merit the fuller
recognition of China's place in the
world which an exchange of ambas-
sadors with other powers denotes.
The American people will approve, in
their own case. this fresh token of
their traditional interest in China'S
welfare.

Salvation Army Is an
Influence for Good

To the Editor Of The Star:
The writer Is desirous Of speaking a
good word for the Salvation Army as
In my estimation no religious organi-
zation can compare with it in the
good that those self-sacrificing and
God-fearing men and women do in
holding their street Gospel meetings
in all our large cities. Many q cold
Winter night the writer has seen the
Salvation Army groups holding their
street meetings and heard them sing
ing their sweet, old-fashioned hymns
that many Of us heard in our child
hood and holding out a beacon of
light to the people passing bv. We
cannot know the thousands of indi-
viduals who never enter church doors
but who are reached and their hearts
stirred and souls uplifted by the Sal
vation Army people at their street
services. have listened often on the
street in different cities from Canada
to California to the Salvation Army
people and often their old-fashioned
hymns revived memories Of the past
when I had heard them sung in my
childhood. Who knows how many
grief-stricken people or those lonely in
strange cities or isolated from friends
or dear ones have been encouraged
and have found consolation In paus-
ing a minute to hear these street
songs? The Salvation Army Is a bull
wark against crime, for not only does
1t bring out the best in the characters
Of those it comes in contact with by
its spiritual influence upon their lives,
but in providing soup kitchens and
hotels for the homeless and friendless
everywhere also serves humanity in
this capacity, and certainly the Sal
vation Army deserves the financial
support of every citizen.

Government Printing Office.

Next week hearings are to start on

Committee on Appropriations, in the
course Of which presentation will be
made Of the need Of new construc-
ton for the proper housing Of the
Government Printing Office, an estab-

plan is proposed comprising the re-
placement of the original building, on

years old, with a new structure, and
the erection on the east side of North

to serve as . warehouse and freight

An Ambassador to China.

1t has been intimated for some time
that Japan contemplates elevating its
diplomatic relations with China to
ambassadorial rank and that Great
Britain would follow suit. From every
standpoint it is welcome news that
the United States now plans also to
convert its legation at Peiping into
the status of an embassy and simul-
taneously appoint Minister Nelson T.
johnson as its first Ambassador to
China. China, in accordance with
custom, will reciprocate by raising her
legations in Toxic, London and Wash
ington to the level of embassies,
whereby the cultured, American-edu-
Gated Chinese Minister to the United
States, DR.. Sao-ke Alfred Sze, pro-
spectively, will become the first Chinese
Ambassador accredited to this country.
These impending moves by Japan
and the two English-speaking powers
are intended as gestures of good will
toward China.
Soviet Russia has exchanged am
bassadors with China since 1924. Italy
effected such arrangements last year.
Other powers, like France and Ger
many, may be expected promptly to
emulate the steps Great Britain,
Japan and the United States are about
to take. Plans to acquire Land at

You seem to have forgotten that
thousands Of farmers are today en-
gagged in the non-hog raising busi-

and the cotton growing business.
Under these conditions it is plain
to understand how easy it is for them
