Wilson Illusions Rejected
Colectivism Among Nations Dies, and Individ.
ualism Brings Chaos.

Britain had not trusted in the system
OF collective security they would not
have been 20 weak that Hitler was
able to tear up the Locarno treaty 20
easily"
Lippmann says. with some justifi-
cation. I think, that while the present
condition exists "the only hope OF
peace lies in the superior military
power Of the peaceable nations" That
was said before by q former President
and . former Roosevelt, Theodore:
Speak softly-but carry q big stick"
That Is clearly the path for America
today.
The wreck of Wilson's dream might.
think, be expressed in a larger gen.
eralizat;on: The collectivist system,
as form Of international orRaniza-
tion, is not now practicable. whether
1t may some day be practicable Is too
much to say. At least We know that
Wilson was too far ahead Of his time.
Britain Loses Power.
If the collectivist system among
nations Is impossible at present. what
Is the alternative? The alternative
that the world has had since time
out Of mind Is individualism among
nations. For more than two centuries
there was a leading individual in the
world Of nations. 1t was Britain. She
used her pre-eminence in the way
that the right kind of leading indi-
vidual man In any community does.
From ler flowed out to the world
standards in many fields. She con-
ferred on the world such interna-
tional law as there was: for funda-
mentally international law Is merely
the concession which the strongest
naval nation makes to the less strong.
Britain had the leadership. Ger
many coveted it. Germany wanted
"the place In the SUM-" Germany
tried to take 1t away from Britain.
Germany failed-but she so weakened
Britain (as well as. HERSELF that 1t
became doubtful whether Britain
could regain her dominance.
Chaos Follows.
As a result, for 20 years we have had
chaos. We did not know whether the
world was going to be organized on
the collectivist system OF Wilson's
dream. or whether it was going to 60
back to national individualism. And
assuming that individualism was to
continue to be the world order we did

But we rejected the leadership and
the leading citizen.
our rejecting it added to the chaos.
Meanwhile. there was serious doubt
whether Britain could regain the po-
sition. For q time Russia aimed to
take it. aimed to impose her concep-
ton of society on the world. At the
present moment italy and Germany
entertain the ambition. Without try
ing to foresee in detail what is to
come We know quite surely that COL
lectivism as an order of nations has
for the time being passed; that for
the near future individualism Of na-
tions will be the world order.
In the fate Of collectivism rs an
order of nations is there any analogy
to collectivism Is an order Of society
within nations?

From strictly orthodox point Of
view, the idea of stimulating the en-
ployment of employees who are not
needed is all wrong, just as the dis
tribution of surpluses that ought to
be saved for a possible depression is
also all wrong. But the New Deal
theory of accelerating recovery
through increasing purchasing power
at the moment rather than to look
ahead to future depressions is a vital
part Of controlled economy, and that's

Mr.. Roosevelt had called the con-
ference for 8:45 am. so as to leave
the White House in time to be at

his inspection trip through the flood
areas of Western New York and

After the Presidents conference,
newspaper men were called into Secre-
tary Stephen Early's Office to have
the purposes of the conferences ex-
planned and to afford an opportunity
for questions and further explanations.
Senator Harrison was asked lust
what was meant by the statement in
the Morgenthau letter that I'VE have
reached conclusion that no new taxes
and no increase in present tax rates
are necessary" THAT means exactly
what it said" Harrison replied.
Harrison declined to say just when
he expected the budget to be balanced,
but added that receipts are coming
in at a rapid rate and there has been
some reduction in expenditures, and
consequently we will reach a balanced
budget much earlier than has been
anticipated"
To Eliminate Inequalities.
While declining to speculate on what
specific taxes would be revised, SEN
ator Harrison said there would be
changes with a view to eliminating
inequalities and removing admin
istrative difficulties. He called atten-
ton to the fact the administration of
some Of the features Of the tax law is
so costly that they would be wiped out.
When asked if it were possible to
furnish some figures supporting the
claim of increasing revenues as a re-
suit of improved business. Secretary
Morgenthau referred to figures pub
lshed in the daily Treasury state
ment. He said these would tell the
story.

has been much Misrepresentation
about the tax situation and a good
deal Of talk about increasing taxes.
He followed this up by saying, I'VE
ought to have less taxes and I think
the truth should be known"
This opinion was supported by Rep
resentative Doughton, who said the
public was entitled to know the truth
and that the public should welcome
the truth about the Nations financial
condition at any time.
Doughton added:
Improvement in business all over
the country has had two effects-in-
creased revenues and decreased relief
costs.
This Is tending to bring expendi-
lures and receipts together, with re-
ceipts going UP and expenditures COM
ing down."

COURT BUILDING
SURVEY ORDERED
Maj. Brown Acts at Sugges.
ton of Hazen for New
Headquarters.

Acting on the suggestion Of Com
missioner Melvin c. Hazen, Mai.
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent of
police. has ordered a survey of the
present Police Court Building with a
view to using it eventually to house
headquarters Offices of the Police De-
partment.
The old headquarters at 462 Indiana
avenue was condemned several years
ago by building inspectors. but be-
cause no other space has been made
available the department has con-
tinued to use the structure.
Building to Be Vacated.
The Police Court Building is to be
Court Building Is constructed in
Judiciary Square. Preliminary work
already has begun there.
Hazen and Brown hope to house
at least a part of the department in
the building to be abandoned, and
the superintendent has tentatively
selected administrative headquarters
and the Woman's Bureau as the
agencies to move into the structure.
Hazen said today that he expects
many years to pass before the Dis
trict will be able to provide a new
police headquarters building and for
that reason he is urging that the
present court structure be utilized for
the police.
Much Work Necessary.
Undoubtedly, much work will be
necessary to remodel the interior of
the building to make it suitable"
Hazen said, "but I think our archi-
tects can make the changes without
too much expense. If I am right on
that. and Maj. Brown finds the plan
feasible. we probably will include
plans for the change in the new
budget"
Brown has appointed committee
Of three to look over the structure
next week.
Howard E. Crawford, chief clerk of
the department; Inspector L. I. H.
Edwards. personnel officer. and Capt
Rhoda Milliken, head of the Woman's
Bureau, compose the committee. Ed

PARKING RULING
| TEST SCHEDULED
Right of Police to Arrest
Drivers of Commercial
Vehicles Is Involved.

The right Of police to arrest drivers
Of commercial vehicles parked in front
of semi-residential property will be
settled this week when Traffic Court
Judge Walter j. Casey hands down a
written decision in a case against Ray
mond r. Royal, driver for the General
| Amusement Co. He Is charged with
parking his truck in front of an apart
ment building where his business is
located on the ground floor.
Hundreds of parking tickets have
been placed on commercial vehicles by
police on instruction of officials, and
the case against Royal will test the
whole structure of the parking regula-
tions affecting this type of vehicle.
Judge Casey has taken the case under
advisement and his decision will per-
manently establish the authority of
the police.
When the case was called in Traffic
Court, James Purcell, attorney for
Royal, entered a plea of not guilty to
the violation and later submitted a
brief, in which he contended the Dis
trict Is relying on the traffic regula-
tions which specifically prohibit park
ing OF commercial vehicles opposite
apartment houses or private dwellings.
He claimed the injection of the ques-
ton Of whether such restrictions apply
to residential zones, first and second
commercial zones or all of them
changes the whole complexion of the
prosecution.
The test case involves a charge that
Royal parked his truck in front of a
building on Eleventh street near Park
road to deliver merchandise to a store
on the ground floor. This area is
officially designated as a first COM
mercial zone. The defense maintains
the defendant has the right to conduc.
his business without hindrance under
the zoning regulation.
How many furniture, clothing and
general merchandise stores, plumbing
supply houses. lumber yards and the
like could remain in business for a
week II some family chose to occupy
an apartment above their places of
business and thus. under the regula-
tion here invoked, prevented the park
ing of their trucks for the purpose
