1t Should Be Thorough,

Indications now point to a thorough
cleaning up of the alleged "racket" In
Prince Georges County, by which police
and professional bondsmen are repre-
sented as having victimized motorists
charged with serious violation of the
traffic laws. The grand jury's recon-
mendation that a skilled investigator
be retained has been approved by the
county commissioners, who have author
lied necessary expenditures. The selec-
ton of the investigator is apparently up
to the States attorney.
The people of the county, through
their constituted representatives, would
do well to press the investigation to the
limit. 1t is not enough that the racket
may already have been broken up by
the publicity and the threat of investi-
CATION. What is needed now is an
examination of the system under which
both private citizens and the county
government could be swindled, provided
the charges are true. And If the system
is weak because of faulty personnel, the
guilty should be named and removed.

car rolling stock would further aid the
company. The cost Of maintenance Of
new equipment would be less than for
the old cars which, in addition to their
expense, continue as q source of dissatis-
faction from the public.
The commission chairman suggests
the company replace the old cars at
rate of not less than fifty per year. the
first fifty to be available not later than
the middle of 1887. The Federation of
Citizens Associations recently suggested
immediate purchase of 800 new cars. Re-
gardless Of the number to be purchased
each year, there can be little dispute over
the wisdom of early adoption of a def
mite annual program. The larger the
program of annual replacement, consist
ent with company financial ability, the
better for all concerned. AS to financial
ability, Washington cannot forget that
the company is controlled by the North
American Company. Surely, q means
can be found.

Reversal of Policy.

The astonishing letter from Mr.. Wood
ring, Acting Secretary of War, to the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board not
only reverses the stand of the Army
doctors against sale of liquor in the
vicinity of Walter Reed, but reverses the
traditional policy established many years
ago against sale of liquor in the vicinity
OF all military and naval reservations in
the District. The effect of Mr.. Wood
rings uncalled for interference in the
policy Of the liquor board and of the hos
pital authorities should be a matter of
some concern.
Before prohibition the areas in the
District where sale of liquor was per-
mitted had been gradually cut down by
increasingly strict provisions, some Of
them based on proximity to naval and
military reservations. Saloons in the
vicinity of such reservations were the
source of continued difficulty and were
gradually outlawed.
Since repeal the liquor board has
adopted policy of discouraging liquor
sales establishments near Walter Reed
and has had the affirmative support of
the authorities at the hospital, who made
the point that the hospital supplied any
alcohol needed for patients. It would
seem to be good policy, not only in
the interest Of the patients themselves
but in the public interest. Liquor sales
establishments near such institutions as
Walter Reed, Soldiers Home, st. Eliza
beth's Hospital, etc., are not to be
placed in the same category with liquor
sales establishments in the vicinity Of
private hospitals. The problems are
not the same and are not to be compared.
Certainly the Acting Secretary of War
should give adequate explanation for
having deliberately overridden the policy
Of the hospital authorities, in q far
better position than the lay officials Of
The department to decide such matters.
That the Acting Secretary Of War has

Hitler and Britain.

Amid the melting pot conditions omini-
present in Europe, no single situation is
Of vaster possibilities than Germany's bid
for the favor of Great Britain. Over
lures in that direction have just been
launched with the arrival of Joachim
Won Ribbentrop, Hitler's new Ambassa-
dor to the Court of st. James. LAUREL
crowned as the negotiator of the Anglo
German naval agreement in 1885, Herr
Won Ribbentrop, special confidante of
Der Fuehrer, has the specific mission
Of developing the ties then established,
along lines that will lead to further
aggrandizement of Germany'S interna-
tional influence. In his opening state
ment on British soil, the Nazi diplomat
loud-pedaled the note on which Hitler
now harps on all possible occasions
communism as Europe's paramount
danger. He confessed Germany's hope
Of British collaboration in graphing
with it. 1t is evident that Herr Won
Ribbentrop is under orders to concen-
against the Soviet.
Under the circumstances, the time does
not seem distant when Britain will have
to choose between yielding to German
Establishments and devotion to the
entente with France. Despite Hitler's
periodical affirmations of good will, in
Guiding the late suggestion of a nom
aggression pact, the isolation of France,
or at least her destruction as dominant
power in Europe, unquestionably con-
tinues to be the latent ideal that Hitler
bluntly proclaimed it to be in the Nazi
bible, my Struggle" While the Ger
mans, too, have been making a good
deal of noise about colonies, the dream
OF Nazified Central Europe, extending
from the North Sea to the Mediter-
ranean, still fires the Reich'S imagina-
tion. The fact that the Soviet Union,
particularly its alliance with France, is a
bar to the realization of that aspiration
inspires in large measure the sleepless
German crusade against communism, in
which Hitler would enlist Britain's sup
port. Ambassador Ribbentrop's counsel
is understood to be against irritating
the British by stressing the colonial is
sue, obviously with view to selling
them the red peril, which is of major
importance in the Berlin scheme of
things.
Hitler's projected comradeship with
John Bull synchronizes with the new
1talo-German understanding and with
Berlin's recognition of the Ethiopian
conquest. Soon after Herr Won Ribben-
trop lays his cards on the table in
Downing Street he is sure to be asked
to what extent the Nazis support Mus
solinis longings for larger place in the
Mediterranean sun. Conditions in fear
ridden Europe were never ripper for large
scale diplomatic horse trading. Nad
ambitions, coupled with German re-
armament, are bound to command ear
nest attention from Great Britain vul-
nerable to attack by formidable air
fleets such as Hitler and Goering are
now fsshioning.
