Proper Inquirv.

The Home Owners Loan Corporation,
a Federal agency, is advancing $40 1000
from its own funds to subsidize the
much-discussed Group Health Associa-
ton, Inc. This use Of taxpayers money
is considered as an administrative ex-
penditure calculated to increase the effi-
cheney of the personnel, according to the
H. O. L. C. Sick leave, it is explained,
costs the corporation 100000 a year.
The officers of Group Health Associa-
ton, Inc, believe that the activities of
this organization may reduce this item
sufficiently to make the subsidy a good
investment.
The corporation this year, it is ex-
planned, has spent more than $500 900
in air-conditioning its Offices for the
comfort and health OF its employees, be-
ieving that If they are comfortable and
healthy they give 100000 worth of
more efficient service. Next year the
corporation proposes to advance 10000
more for the group health plan. No
conditions are imposed and the health
association is not obligated to repay
the investment.
Senator McCarran of Nevada quite
properly wants a precise and detailed
explanation of such expenditures 1t
so happens that Group Health Associa-
ton, Inc, may be the corner stone of
very far-reaching social experiment.
1t may be justified. A very large ele-
ment of the medical profession believes
that it is not-that it is, in fact, ILL
considered and dangerous. Had the pro-
posal for anything of the sort come
directly before Congress there would
have been heated debate. The sharp
eyes OF the legislative committees of the
Medical Society of the District of Co.
lumbia and of the American Medical
Association would have found it out and
a powerful opposition would have de-
veloped. If the money had been duly
appropriated, it would have been only
after thorough thrashing out of the
pros and cons.
The fact is that news of the expert
ment leaked out gradually and that
local physicians for some time had con-
siderable difficulty in finding out what
was going on, although what was going
on had a notable bearing on their own
professional welfare. 1t was practically
thing done before they understood it.
Just how far in such a direction can
a Federal bureau go under the guise of
administration? 1t is easy to imagine
thousand activities which might con-
tribute to the welfare of the employees
and thus increase their efficiency. Al
most any sort of social experiment might
be launched and subsidized on such q
pretext.

alternative would be to cut the work,
to injure the service rendered by the
Chest.
But that choice is doubly infeasible.
Every indication points to 4 difhcult

Federal Government is not prepared to
take over the job Of maintaining morale.
building character and furnishing all the
relief demanded. 1t is a community
responsibility, and the Chest is the best
available method for meeting its chal-
lenge.
Let it be acknowledged without debate
that the city is capable of doing its
duty, if only it will. The present short
age is small in comparison with the
money subscribed. What is wanted is
the support Of the middle group of
people in comfortable circumstances who
thus far have not given as generously as
they should. Also, ten per cent increases
in the pledges of all who can afford such
practical altruism.
The Star again appeals to its readers
In the interest Of cause which involves
the good name of Washington and the
honorable reputation of every man and

The welfare of the entire city will be
promoted by unselfish response to the

More Recriminations.

Appraisal OF the current controversy
between the Securities and Exchange
Commission and the New York Stock
Exchange is difficult while both parties
color their observations with recrimina-
tions and threats.
Unfortunately, their exchange OF
pleasantries is a fair sample of 4 psy-
chology which seems to pervade much
Of our economic life today as industry.
labor and government each attempt to
blame one or both of the others for
any obstacles to the more abundant
life.
Presumably, the stock exchange exists
as market place where the owner OF
capital may meet the user OF capital;
the result being productive investment
beneficial to both parties and to the Ma
ton. The measure of this benefit,
broadly speaking, should be the quoted
price of the securities which symbolic
the investment.
Presumably also, the s. E. c. was
established to see that this market
functions freely and honestly. To this
end it is justifiably concerned with
any evidence Of widespread manipula-
tive practices or other abuses, conditions
against which the exchange itself also
exercises a policing policy.
Both, however, should guard against
any suspicion of attempting to use the
recent sharp decline of security prices
as an instrument for political sniping
or springboard from which might be
launched drives for more or less regula-
ton. Business indices themselves make
adequate explanation for the market
action of the past few months and any
less pronounced trend of security prices
would be evidence equally damaging to
both.

too, the prevailing urge Of modern man
to walk no more than one has to. It
seems quite evident on every hand.
People stand for hours per week watt

This cisuse has scared deeply into the

The beginning pedestrian, even when

pedestrtanism. he is confronted by the
of1er OF luxuriant ride to a destina-
ton miles from his goal
That, too, is unknown to the cheerful
fellow behind the wheel.
1t seems that motorists, as a class,
have genius for putting one down
blocks from the right point.
They do this SO cheerfully, and with
such an air of having done their good
deed for the day, that the properly
trained pedestrian would not tell them
the bitter truth for anything.
What he does is to wait until the car
has vanished around the corner, then
call taxi and proceed to his destination.
Motorists should think twice, there
fore, when they meet friend hiking
down the road.
Maybe he wants to walk!
Perhaps he needs the walk. All the
learning OF some good physician may
be behind it, or all the common sense
Of the species.
AS strange as it seems, many people
really like to walk. Confined to the
once all day, they find in an early
morning or late afternoon hike of small
or large proportions just what their
physical and mental beings seem to
need.
Walking is rather more mental than
physical. 1t is builder of will power,
above all. In this precious quality the
modern rider may be said to be deficient.
Walking builds will power as nothing
else will. Often it requires great guam
titles OF 1t. at the very beginning, in
order for the individual to be able to
walk at all.
A whole re-education is necessary
many times.
And who is the motorist that he
should attempt. SO often successfully, to
interfere with this education?
Instead he should greet the heroic
walker with salvo of mighty toots,
wave his hand and go on down the
road.
In this way he would save himself
trouble and help build up the muscles,
mind and will power of his friend.

Cotton Roads
Prom the Columbus (ohio) Dispatch.

FROM the Columbus (Ch1o) Dispatch.
The ingenuity Of science in finding new
uses for common materials at times ap-
proaches the incredible, yet so often are
seeming miracles achieved these days
that the public has learned to accept
calmly, after the first announcement,
almost anything.
Still there must have been at least q
few gasps Of establishment at the news
that cotton seems destined to be an Inn
portant factor in the building Of tomor-
rows highways. Research now under
way indicates that the use of cotton
membrane in road construction results
in better and longer-lived highway.
The biggest objection thus far is not
whether or not cotton is practical, but
that the initial cost, which is somewhat
higher than for other types. However, II
the opinion held by experts is finally ac-
cepted-that the new type of cotton
bound road will wear twice - long-this
may prove to b no great objection.

No Surrender to Hitler.

Considerable London fog envelops
Mondays meeting between the heads of
the British government and the premier
and foreign minister of France, but a
joint epitome of their deliberations dis
closes the central and gratifying fact
that the Entente Cordiale remains in
tact. Summoned mainly because of
French alarm over the recent confabula-
ton of Lord Halifax with Chancellor
Hitler, the meeting seems to have pro-
duced satisfactory assurances that
Great Britain has not sold the pass to
the Nazis or has any intention of en-
gaging in barter with Germany on terms
that would spell danger either to France
or to her eastern allies.
The conference did not determine to
reject outright Nazi demands for COL
onies and "a free hand" in Central and
Eastern Europe. 1t decided that Ber-
Inns program of international blackmail
requires further exploration" That is
tantamount to saying that in their
present form Hitler's cor else" conditions
for keeping the peace are not acceptable.
If sustained with consistency and forti-
tude that have been lacking hitherto in
the attitude Of the Western democracies
toward the Fascist powers-a trail of
pusillanimity and scuttle which stretches
from Ethiopia to Spain--the Anglo
French position thus indicated promises
to have salutary effects. It Is designed
above all to thwart Germanys ambition
to weaken or wreck the London Paris
accord and correspondingly strengthen
the Berlin-Rome axis as the dominant
force in Europe. No less ardent is the
Reich's aspiration to isolate the Soviet
Union. The French are in no mood to
surrender the Russian alliance at Ger
man behest, and apparently command
Londons support in their unwillingness
to relieve the Nazis of Red Army peril on
their eastern flank.
In Britain and France alike there is
no disposition arbitrarily to deny Ger
man claims for colonial readjustments
But the democratic nations insist upon
two fundamental conditions-lD that
