set up machinery intended to bring
about adjustments and controls that
might, If used right, take the place of
the old controls OF the days of free COM

Mr.. Roosevelt has plunked for the

South suggests that Southerners feel
the same way. Corn belt farmers are
getting ready to set up the same cry.
But again there are variations and
choices.
Some Southern Senators are clanor-

prices and to set up compulsory controls
over marketing strong enough to h1ld
those prices far above any price that
would be justified by world conditions.

Chairman Moore Retires.

The resignation of DR.. Charles Moore,
chairman Of the National Commission of
Fine Arts, officially ends career of
great service to the country and par
tlcularly to the Capital City. DR.. Moore
has been a member Of that body since
its creation In 1910 and its chairman
since 1915. In that period of more
than a quarter of a century he has
labored in the interest of the develop
ment of the fine arts in America and
especially in the evolution OF the seat
OF Government as an expression in its
physical aspect of the principles Of art
IN planning and construction.
DR.. Moore came to Washington in 1889
as political secretary to the late Senator
James Mcmillan, and it was through that
relationship that he became identified
with the program of improvements in
the course of the completion of the
Capital plan. When the National Com
mission OF Fine Arts was created by act
of Congress in 1902 he was appropriately
included in its membership in recogni-
ton of his intimate acquaintance with
the problems of city planning intrusted
to that body for solution.
Prior to the creation of the National
Commission of Fine Arts there was no
accepted standard of design in the crea-
ton of memorials to distinguished Amer
leans or in the planning and placement
of structures essential to the conduct
OF the business of government at WASH
ington. DR.. Moore had been identified
with the work of the so-called Mcmillan
Commission which evolved a plan for
park treatment and building emplace-
ment, and this service broadened into
the greater work Of the Fine Arts Com
mission, which reached beyond the Cap
ital and resulted In the establishment OF
standards of design in public construc-
tions and memorial tributes throughout
the country.
While there have been differences upon
matters of detail, with the result in the
main OF wholly satisfactory adjustments,
the work of the National Commission of
Fine Arts, under DR.. Moore's chairman
ship, has met with approval and has
assuredly resulted in the advancement
of the public appreciation of the sub
stantial value of orderly procedure to-
ward definite goal. Further work re-
mains to be done before the general plan
Of Capital-making is completed, and 1t
is assured that in its prosecution the
principles that have been established will
be followed, to the end of the evolution
of an ideal seat Of government.

An Unentangling Alliance.

II was the better part of a generation.
and, IN some cases, longer than that.
after the Farewell Address admonition
against entangling alliances, before the
nations Of South and Central America.
following in the footsteps of the United
States. shook OF European yokes and
made OF these continents a hemisphere
of free and independent republics. Gould
George Washington have envisioned
Western World, republican from the
Great Lakes and the st. Lawrence to
the tip of Cape Horn, it is almost incon-
ceivable that in taking leave Of the presi-
dency in 1897 the father of a grateful
country would have extended his ban on
binding ties with other people to include
the sister Americas to the south.
Today. one hundred and forty years
after the immortal preachment which
has remained the keystone of the
United States foreign policy, this
Nation is attached to the republics
beyond the Rio Grande and the
Isthmus Of Panama and in the islands
OF the Caribbean with hoops of steel"
as stanch as any parchment bond could
weld international friendships. They
constitute the worlds pre-eminent and
well-nigh unique example of an unen-
tangling alliance, conceived in commu-
nifty of interest, born of reciprocal re-
spect and reared to its present strength
and purpose in unselrsh determination
to preserve heritage common to all.
In that spirit the Rotary Club of WASH
1ngton, as an event in its silver jubilee
celebration this week. will present a
forum on "The Advancement Of Under
standing and Good Will in the Amer
icas." Rotary dedicates itself appropri-
ately to such cause because its 1000
clubs In eighty-two countries subscribe,
as one Of their cardinal tenets, to "the ad-
vancement Of international understand
ing, good will and peace through world
fellowship Of business and professional
men united In the ideal of service" At
this moment Of gravely disturbed con-
ditions and devastating war in both
Occident and Orient, Rotary's creed offers
q challenge and hope to men and gov
ernments far removed from its gregari-
Gus orbit.
The message 1t conveys with respect
to Pan-American fraternity echoes the
sentiments Of President Roosevelt and
Secretary Hull at Buenos Aires last Win
ter. The stress they laid not only on
the importance of American solidarity,
but on the necessity vigilantly to safe
guard the foundations Of democracy on
our side Of the Atlantic, Is OF even more
urgent significance today. Fascism has
It's roots deeply planted in many regions
of Latin America. The Central Amer
ican states, with the exception of Costa
Rica, now live Under systems OF govern
ment akin if not wholly equivalent to
relationships. The ideals associated with
the names Of Diaz, Castro and Gomez
are far from obliterated In other lands
on either side of the Equator. Doubtless,
among the stimulating addresses to be
delivered under Rotary's wheel OF service
at Memorial Continental Hall on We'd
nesday more than one speaker will find
occasion to point warning finger at
developments that are a menacing ny

by officers OF Occidental armies. Nearly
all Japanese officers are married and
lead very quiet lives.
This seems dull routine for offlcer

pared with the life Of other armies.
Yet the fact that each Japanese at

his military service alters the entire
aspect. The army tradition comes down
from the great days Of the samurai or
warrior caste. The deeply inxrained
feeling about the army is responsible
for the remarkable emphasis placed on
that branch. When 1t Is considered that
Japan Is an archipelago, separated by

would be placed on the navy as In the
