the necessity for more vigorous political

Because of the joint desire of admin
istration and congressional leaders to
wind up the session of Congress with a
minimum of delay, it is indicated that
the two international treaties awaiting
ratiflcation-the new pact with Panama
and the Observation-Disclosures naval
agreement-will not be submitted for
Senate approval until the next session of
Congress. While there are no fears that
either treaty would be rejected, opposi-
tion to some concessions to Panama is
anticipated, and there is also prospect
that an issue may be raised in connection
with certain features of the tripartite
naval deal, limited in scope as it is. So
the present outlook is that both treaties
will be permitted to gather dust in For
eign Relations Committee pigeon holes
until the new Congress convenes in
January.
Gov. Landon seems to command the

duces prominently Landon's maiden ad-
dress to the Nation last July, which was
delivered under the leagues auspices
and which is described as having made
the Governor "for the first time a ma

Kansas budget balancing system.

They Cannot Yield.

Several important differences between
House and Senate must be reconciled
In the forthcoming conferences on the
District bill. But none of the differences
should be hard to settle, except the
amount OF the lump sum. That may
prove difficult not because of the amount
of money involved but because of the i'm
portant principle at stake. The Senate
conferees indicate they have no inten-
tion of yielding this year, as they have
done in the past, on this principle.
Yielding this year would amount, in
effect, to Senate surrender of its con-
stitutional prerogatives as a participant
In legislating for the District of Columbia
Why is that? Why should not the
amount of the lump sum be as amenable
to settlement as anything else in the
District bill?
The circumstances of its past reduc-
ton furnish the answer. The lump sum
has been whitfield down, not because of
any decreasing needs-for these have in
creased with the growth of the city. 1t
has been reduced not because of any
decrease in the national obligation to
Capital support-for the tangible meas
urement of such obligation indicates a
greater obligation than ever. The lump
sum has been reduced as part and parcel
of a program, entertained by a few
members of the House, to eliminate the
Federal contribution entirely. Its fur
ther reduction this year below the mini
mum budget recommendation of SIS, ,70O,-
600 would constitute one of the final
steps in such elimination. The result
would be paralysis of improvements, in
adequate maintenance, an overpowering
burden of local taxation and a chaotic
condition in regard to Capital City
financing.
Senators are determined that this shall
not happen. Deliberately avoiding the
choice of a higher figure, which in
equity would have been justified and
which would have given them certain
bargaining" power in conference, the

recommendation of s5,7OOOOO and have
stated that they do not propose to
wrangle over it.
1t is difficult to see how the Senators
can preserve the dignity of their posi-
tions and take any other stand. Some
of them have already been subjected, in
advance. to rather extraordinary brow
beating from the other side of the Capt.
tol. If Congress, consisting of the
Senate as we'll as the House, is unable
to perform its prescribed duty in legislat-
ing for the District of Columbia, it will
not be through any unreasonable stand
On the part of the Senators handling the
District bill.

so. Yet it cannot be argued that 1t is
desirable. The people of the United
States have a duty to themselves in the
circumstances-they should bring forth
their own distinctive esthetic forms and
fruits. Otherwise, they must be at the
mercy of other nations, consistently ex-
plotted and sometimes actually cheated.
A sign of hope appears, however, in
the Childrens Theater of New York, now
about to close fourth Washington sea-
son. Managed and directed by Glare
Tree Major, a talented Englishwoman
who generously has dedicated her skill
to the entertainment and instruction of
American youth during more than
fifteen years, it is designed to create
in the juvenile heart that love for the
playhouse without which no stage can
prosper. Next Autumn it will offer q
fifth bill of six productions, four Of
which are American-"Mrs. Wiggs of the
Cabbage Patch" Little Women" Re
becca of SunnSbrook Farm" and "Toby
Tyler" The players are adults, but
the spirit of the work is of the variety
that youngsters understand, appreciate
and enjoy.
The Nations Capital, it would seem,
should be an ideal place for such an
enterprise to flower into permanent and
enduring utility as a cultural center
valuable to the entire country, an in
spiration to the whole people. In its
endeavor toward that end the Women's
International League deserves assistance.

RetrOspectiOn.
o Father Time, o Father Time,
I wish that you would stay
Or turn yourself about and climb
Awhile the other way,
And take us back
Along the track
Into the long ago,
When all our race
Pursued the pace
Which we consider slow!
o Father Time, o Father Time,
We long to hear again
The gay or sentimental rhyme
In innocent refrain,
When gruesome truth
For eager youth
Was not considered best.
We know too much.
Reverse the clutch
And give our minds rest!

THESE are the things which make
Spring sublime, are they not, the beauty
and the youth Of It?
Even the oldest rundown house, sadly
in need Of paint, takes on a bit of the
universal grandeur. when fresh, green
leaves surround it at last.
Ruts by the roadside lose their bare
look. They become, not Just ugly scars,
but part Of the landscape. The things
we did not altogether care to notice
much in Winter now are worth looking
at. They belong.
II we had two pennies we would not
spend one for white hyacinths, because
we would not have to. We know fence
where dozens Of them bloom, free to the
seeing eye.
This is the sort of possession worth
something.
It is wonderful, the way the growing
green covers everything.
Gray and forbidding is the color tone
OF Winter. Autumn is not much better.
But Spring is golden and green. 1t is
alight with silver and gold, against a
background of cool green.
The green has purpose. The plants
must have it. Still, man finds it Su-
premely lovely. Countless centuries
have not dimmed this feeling.
Any one who has watched a bare
patch of red clay gradually cover over
with grass knows all there is to be
known about it.
No 6OO-page volume, dealing with the
appreciation of beauty, is necessary.
The one essential thing is not to be
ashamed Of a love Of beauty.
1t Is wholesome factor in American
life that the urge toward beauty is at
the highest pitch.
We demand beauty in homes, cars, in
everything and anything.
Often this is a superficial beauty, but
no doubt 1t is on the right trail.
Seeing the charm Of the Springtime is
not hard; the most careless person sees
plenty.
A little knowledge, however, far from
being a dangerous thing, is precisely
what is needed to bring clearly to view
the thousand and one lesser beauties of
the season.
The sum of these >nall beauties is

bluets on the terrace?
Buttercup5 are not for children, alone,
but for all sensible persons.
Do not wait for a scientific picture
showing in enlargement the seed re-

them even as you weed them from your
lawn.
Il
See more in vacant lot than "just a
bunch of old weeds
The term vacant lot" is a tremendous
misnomer. There is nothing vacant
about it, really. Some day it will have a
house taking up large part of it. but
already it has thousands Of medicinal
plants in it.
These plants are part of the Spring
show.
They are to be overlooked by those
who can do no more, but to be admired
by those who can.
Spring is thus elastic. capable of being
stretched to an amazing degree.
Be sure to stretch it, then, II you want
to get the most out Of it.

Comparison of modern agitators to
revolutionary heroes needs some minute
explanation as to whether there is any
insidious tyrant in sight against whom
it is necessary to summon our Ben
Franklins and our Tom Paines as well
as our Patrick Henrys if they were really

material for duplicating the genius of
the past is available should emergency

OVERRIDING 1t.

OVERRIDING 1t.
7 knew a fellow who declared
He never, never worried.
He said that he was always spared
Sensations fiercely flurried.
Upon the doorstep he would sit;
Twas there you always found him
He loved to watch the sunbeams
Till shadows gathered round him.
The old fence trembled in the breeze
That set the house a-creaking.
The roof is greener than the trees,
Moss-grown and sadly leaking.
Although we cherish sweet content,
And with much envy view it,
This anti-worry sentiment
Some people overdo it.

Fascism i'm Austria.

Austria latterly has been looked upon
chiefly as the spark that might ignite
the European powder barrel because of
Nazi plans for anschluss (union with
Germany. Now, suddenly, it is the danger
of civil war within the remnant of the
old Hapsburg empire that threatens
strife, which could hardly be localized
and which might easily supply the pre-
text for international Intervention and
conflict. The bitter rivalries between
Chancellor Schuschnigg and his powerful
and ambitious vice chancellor, young
Prince Starhemberg, lie at the root of
the situation which has arisen. Ever
since the chancellor announced two
months ago that Austria would introduce
conscription and, in establishment Of it,
would amalgamate within one national
army all of the country's existing military
forces, Prince Starhemberg and the
Fascist Heimwehr, or Home Guard, which
he controls, have resented the suggestion
of its abolition as an independent Or
GdTlZdCIOIl.
Matters came to head this week with
the defiant announcement by Starhem-
berg that the Heimwehr will never be
disarmed except over my dead body" In
a warning to his political opponents
through the medium of public address,
the prince declared that if they press
too hard there will be "a repetition of
1884" That is a truculent reference to
the brief but bloody civil hostilities of
two years ago, from which the Heimwehr
and the army emerged triumphant over
q Nazi uprising. The defiant and bellig-
erent tone of Starhemberg's pronounce
ment foreshadows determination on his
part to fight for preservation Of his posi-

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES Z. TRAcEWELL.

Mary, come to the roof with me,
And we shall see what we shall see
The Capitol, the Monument,
Where Roosevelt goes, where Lincoln
went.
What God hath wrought, man may mar;
We can see both near and far,
Holding history In our hand,
In our eyes L'Enfant's great plan.
What are those tremendous piles,
Making downtown streets mere alSleS?
Did the old men of the past
Dream these elephants at last?
Why those lilacs torn from earth.
In the city they gave birth?
Why these ripped-up parks and places,
Where before reigned urban graces?
Spirits of our sires long past,
Lie you In your graves aghast?
We who watch the madmen play,
Feel exactly the same way.

Spring Is doing her best for us.
She is bringing leaves to the trees and
shrubs, sending fresh blossoms to apples
and almonds, piling lilac bushes high
with blooms.
Yes. lilac blossoms, sweet perfumed
lilac blossomsl
Only the other day we bowed our
head over bowl full of them, inhaling
what many consider the sweetest
fragrance in all the world.
They were not hot-house blossoms,
either, but the real thing, grown in a
Washington back yard.

so. bringing back the taste for these
things to all who are older.

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
Embryo Poet.

The boy walked much alone.
A bird song held him quite spellbound.
And violets peeping from the ground
Or some bright-tipped pine cone
Caused his young heart to pound.
He'd stretch out in the grass
Full length, face upward to the sky,
Regardless of the pasSers-by;
Eyes sun-filled, clear as glass,
Watching some cloud-plane ny.
And by the light that round him shons
We knew the Muse would claim her own.
