That has been one Of the chief

this criticism has been all too true
We want constructive program of
action for our party which will leave
no room for such criticism.
At the same time, We must remem-

Il not always necessary or wise A
party isn't blocking progress when it

We will fight any compromise. We
are offering no substitute. There isn't
any. We are simply against 1t be-
cause 1t is totally wrong. But the

other and different sort of problem.
On this we offer substitute, a sub

SMITHSONIAN GETS
STAMP COLLECTION
Otis Bea|| Kent to Donate
Specimens Valued at
$50O,OOO.
BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT.

b1 janis WALDO FAWCETT.
Otis Beall Kent. Washington ad-
miralty lawyer, has pledged his valu-
able stamp collection, consisting ex-
clusively Of micrometrically perfect
specimens, to the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition.
This was announced by Mr.. Kent
himself at the close of an address to
banquet meeting of the National
Stamp Conference at the Hotel Carlton
last night.
Begun many years ago, the collec-
ton is regarded by philatelists as the
most remarkable "perfectionist" prop
erty of its type in the world. No def
mite appraisal Of 1t ever has been pub
licized, but it is estimated to be worth
at least $500,000.
Each separate stamp, Mr.. Kent told
the conference assembly, has been
chosen with but single objective
namely, absolute accuracy of en-
craving. All the specimens, with only
a few rare exceptions, are in mint
condition.
The collection is entered in albums
made to order under Mr.. Kent's per-
sonal direction.
Leading philatelists from all parts
of the United States heard the an
nouncement Of the gift and applauded
the donor. They also heard messages
from two stamp collecting members OF
President Roosevelt's cabinet and ad-
dresses by two officials, representing
respectively, the Post Office Depart.
ment and the Treasury Department
promising cooperation in the in
terests OF more attractive and better
printed postage stamps
