Economic Planners.

Although no conspicuous success has
attended round table efforts to devise a
panacea for our recurring economic ills,
the potentialities inherent in such ex-
changes of ideas among leaders of gov
ernment, industry and labor are so far
reaching that each new assembly must
be looked upon with hope.
Such a meeting is being held here to-
day under sponsorship of the Senate
Committee on Manufactures. Including
in the number men of distinction and
achievement in their respective fields,
today's forum will concern itself pri-
marily with the question of establishing
a semi-permanent national economic
council. It will be interesting, and
should be instructive, to review their
opinions and their conclusions.
The greatest weakness of such advisory
groups in the past has been the lack
of positive authority vested in them.
France and England have had such
councils In recent years and each
has been marked by the presence of
competent members. In the vast ma
jority of instances, however, their care
fully considered recommendations have
given way before the political expedien-
cies of the moment in each country.
Soviet Russia has vested her Supreme
Council of National Economy with
greater power and a result was greater
adherence to the program thus formu-
lated.
Our own Business Advisory Council,
however. has been of comparatively lit
tie material aid as it occupied a position
actually far removed from the seat of
lawmaking influence.
Perhaps from today's conference more
concrete plans may be forthcoming.
And perhaps, eventually, an economy
planned by those best fitted for such a
task may replace the experimental pro-
grams of theorists.

falo Evening News Rep), "the vote In
the G. o. P. primaries was larger than
that polled by the bitterly battling Demo-
Gratis. Here is a suggestion that a re-
surgent Republican party may win Penn
sylvania back to its old allegiance. After
such knock down and drag out as the
Democratic primaries developed there is
good reason to expect such an eventual
ity"
Speaking of the Democratic struggle,
the Richmond News Leader Dem) is
convinced that "it was more a fight
against Lewis leadership than a blow
for Earle, candidate for the senatorial
nomination" The News Leader adds:
I'm this respect, the American electorate
Is peculiar. 1t will permit any group to
go a long, long way in seeking its eco
nomic advancement, but the moment
such an organized minority attempts to
dictate political action, q large part of
the voters instinctively 20 into opposi-
ton. This has happened scores Of times.
1t may have happened in Pennsyl-
vania"

The Parting of the Ways.
From the Santa Fe New Mexican.


Mexico and Great Britain have again
come to the parting OF the ways. This
is the third time in two decades that
these two countries have disagreed to
the point Of recalling diplomatic repre-
SentativeS.
In 1920 the British envoy was recalled
from Mexico because of British claims
against the southern republic. Again in
1923 relations were severed when a Brit
ish woman was besieged and killed, be-
cause she would not let her lands be
appropriated
1t is also recalled that Mexico has too,
been at odds with the United States In
1913 relations between these two coun-
TRIES were severed following the assasi-
nation of President MADEIRA and again
in 1920 following the assassination of
President Carranza.
Owen st. Clair O'Malley, British Min
lister to Mexico, has twice in recent weeks
presented demands from his govern
ment that the BritiSh-owned oil COM
panies appropriated by the Mexican gov
ernment be returned and twice these de-
mands have been denied.
While the oil appropriation is un-
doubtedly the underlying cause Of the
present rupture, a small bill for only
$40, 1921 pesos or less than 100000 is
given as the direct cause of the break.
British officials have intimated that
England might bring economic measures
to bear designed to bring the Mexican
government to terms. Rumors are also
current that the navy Of Great Britain
might stage q demonstration.
Either or both of these reprisals would
undoubtedly place the United States in
most awkward position. This country
under its obligation would be duty bound
to resent the presence Of foreign war
ships in Mexican territorial waters for
any purpose other than friendly visit.
And as certainly as economic reprisals
cause the return Of the appropriated oil
holdings to British owners, the United
States must ask the same treatment for
her citizens, although the State Depart
ment has admitted the Mexican govern.
ment's right 70 expropriate.

Scolding the Commission.

The lawyer with poor case some
times makes the best of badssituation
by berating the district attorney. Rep
resentative Boylan, with his Jefferson
Memorial, adopts the same philosophy
and wages last ditch fight for his prof.
ect by scolding the Commission of Fine
Arts. Where has the commission erred?
Apparently by turning on the light and
candidly letting the public know that if
the Jefferson Memorial Commission pro-
ceeds with the present memorial design,
1t will do so in the face of the opposition
of experts and artists chosen to pass on
such designs. The Commission of Fine
Arts, through Chairman Clarke. has done
nothing more than its duty in making
public the fact-which Mr. Boylan can
not deny-that the present design Of
the memorial does not bear Fine Arts
Commission approval.
Mr.. Boylan states that the Commission
of Fine Arts was consulted at every
STEP in the matter of selecting an ar
chitect, choosing the site and approving
the design. This close consultation, he
says, continued until the change in
Craftsmanship of the commission last fall,
when Mr.. Gilmore D. Clarke succeeded
Mr.. Charles Moore
But was the close cooperation and
continued consultation between the JEFF
ferson Memorial Commission and the
Commission of Fine Arts, or was it be-
tween the Jefferson Memorial Commits
sion and Mr.. Charles Moore? Is there
any record of formal approval of the
design by the Commission of Fine Arts,
or was the tacit approval of Mr.. Moore
construed as the formal approval of the
commission?
In correspondence made public re-
Gently, the Jefferson Memorial Commits
sion was shown to have gone on record
unanimously in approving the design
favored by the Commission of Fine Arts.
But the Jefferson Memorial Commission
later reversed its action and has pro-
ceeded with design lacking Fine Arts
Commission approval. Lacking this
approval, lacking public confidence, lack
ing the wide Endorsement from qualified
experts that should be available, Mr..
Boylan obviously faces great difficulty
in securing the approval-and the money
from his colleagues on the House Ap-
preparations Committee and in the
House itself. Under the circumstances,
it is difficult to see how that approval
could be given without committing a
grave mistake in the orderly develop
ment of the Capital.

For the small suburban yard with
many trees the climbing roses often are
a better purchase than the bushes.
Such favorites as the DR.. Van Fleet
and the famous Paurs Scarlet make
brave show at this time OF year.
Afterward their fine foliage and sturdy
canes constitute the best background for
annual and perennial flowers.
So much has been said and written
about the rosebushes that sometimes the
newcomer to the SUBURBAN scene forgets
the climbers altogether.
Forgets them, that is, until he discov-
ers that the bush roses are rather hard
to grow in a typical shady garden.
Not that they cannot be grown-they
can be, of course, but only at the ex-
pense of much time, money spent on
fertilizers and sprays Of one type or an
other, and labor.
Rose loves labor lost, indeed, some
gardeners will come to think Of the typl-
cal teas and hybrid perpetuals in q
shady yard.
Even such study growers as the Radi-
ance sisters, pink and red, will tend to
grow "leggy' and produce very poor
blossoms. at least in comparison with
their best in more fortunate situations.
Let us distinguish very carefully be-
tween such bushes at their best, and
the same species in Just medium situa-
ton.
Unless one has seen them at their
best, Of course, those in a poor situation
may look very good. This is as it should
be. Even poor or Indifferent roses are
better than no roses at all.
In time, however, as the growers ex-
perience increases, especially If he sees
roses with the benefit of sun sanitation,
and plenty Of clay for their roots, he
will come to realize that there is great
difference in situations, after all.
Often the typical suburban rose bed
is shaded half or even greater part of
the day.
Too often the soil is worn-out farm
soil, which never would have grown
roses as well as uncultivated clay patches,
especially II their is an admixture with
some sand.
1t will be found that suburban gard
eners who go in" for roses on a large
scale take care to have their beds in the
sun, and do a great deal of heroic work
to get the ground to suit their pets.
A casual visitor. going through such a
rose garden, may not realize the amount
of time, money and work that went into
the bushes and their resulting bloom.
II he would go around the neighbor-
hood, and look at other peoples rose
bushes. he would see that most of the
latter could not compare with the work
OF the specialist.
=
Theory about roses is one thing, and
the actuality often another.
Many an amateur rosarian, imbued
with the true rose fever, buys and plants
various species, and tends them hope
fully.
He gets great deal of pleasure out of
his venture, and more experience; above
all, he may talk at length at all meetings

Two Urgent Problems.

The Senate District Committee gave
evidence yesterday of conscientious de-
sire to meet two urgent problems of its
local constituents when it promptly ap-
proved the alley dwelling law amend
ments and the bill to place Washington
on a parity with other cities for P. w. A.
loans.
Senator King of Utah, the chairman,
followed up the expeditions action of
the committee by filing both favorable
reports Immediately, before the Senate
had adjourned for the day. Early Sen
ate action is hoped for.
On the House side the alley dwelling
bill already had received committee ac-
ton, and there is possibility it may be
taken up on the floor of that branch
today. Passage of this measure is essen
tial to set in motion much-needed low
cost housing program, in which the new
United States Housing Authority stands
ready to assist as soon as the bill be-
comes law.
The Alley Dwelling Authority under
the direction of John Ihlder, the U. s.
Housing Authority headed by Nathan
Straus, and President Roosevelt are all
in agreement in the desire to see this
work go forward. It would be lament
able if the drive to complete the national
legislative program should cause the
necessary changes in the local alley
dwelling law to fall by the wayside.
The desire both District Committees
have shown, however, to speed the bill
along, encourages Washington to believe
that it's busy national lawmakers will
pause long enough to give the measure
final approval and send it to the White
House.
OF equal merit is the revision of local
P. w. A. loan terms. And. while this
bill is still awaiting House Committee

The Man Behind the Bills.
BY PH1LANDER JOHNSON.

The man who sends along the bills
And marks them please remit
You blame him for your earthly ills
And wish that he would quit.
And while you rail against the elf
Whose ledger makes you fret,
No doubt he's hustling like yourself,
And maybe harder yet.
Who sets the pace for human kind?
Who starts you out anew
To fight or go against the grind,
Where there is work to do?
Who bids men toll with might and main?
Who calls the throng to try
To push along the railway train
Or rear the building high?
Who calls humanity to act,
A bold determined crew?
Do not evade the simple fact,
But give the imp his due.
Tis that same chap, beyond a doubt,
Who brings industrious thrills.
We'd all lie down and loaf without
The man who sends the bills.

temper. " The artistic instinct in him
was so keen, his craftsmanship so near
to perfection, and his execution accom-
plished with SO little apparent effort
that he wondered why any one couldn't
do things the same way. He was
intolerant of mediocrity-and entirely
out of patience with stupidity. He
had the frailties Of human nature; he
also had many of its finest qualities.
Among his finer qualities was loyalty.
Loyalty to his friends and loyalty to his
ideals. It was this loyalty to his ideals
that brought on his untimely end

man Mr.. Morse. whose close association
with him over long period of years quail

book to the professional achievements
of Henry Miller, with barely paragraph
concerning his private life during the

actor producer. 1t is an intimate picture
of the man who is remembered by those
who loved the theater in its heyday and

Austrian Pine
(PinuS auStriaca) .
By LILLIAN cox ATHEY.
USTRIAN PINES are Europe

A USTR1AN PINES are Europeans
n that have been welcomed to
~ America, and especially in the
4 4 Eastern part, where the cli-
mate seems to appeal to these hand
some evergreens.
BY reputation they are sturdy trees,
not overparticular about the soil they
are introduced to live in, and also they
are not at all temperamental as to
their time of life to be transplanted.
This one attribute of theirs in itself
would endear them to the landscape
artists. So many trees must be cod
died when they are moved. Money,
care and anxiety are invested in so
many trees that we wish to place on
our property.
The Austrian pine is sturdy vari-
ETY. Of the Corsican pine, we'll known
in Southern Europe It is clothed in a
very dark green color, and with one
exception, the red cedar, it is the dark
est of the evergreens.
In its youth the Austrian is COM
pact little tree and reminds you of a
great, round, green ball, as it rests so
close to the ground. AS it reaches '-p
into the world it begins to assume a
more looselike expression. because of
the way the branches lift their arms
t. the sky.
The leaves are in pairs, two under
each paper-thin sheath, and inches
long, with a determination to twist
into stiff needles. They persist for
several years. Though you will see a
carpet of the needles under and near
the tree, they have not been shed
until they were 2 years old.
One of the things to look for in
March is the way the Austrian sends
its thousands of seeds catapulting some
200 feet away. If you go out into the
woods or where this pine is. listen for
the sharp click as the scale is lifted
and the seed child released.
The seed crop natures the second
autumn. but they do not 90 on their
adventure until the next spring, when
the ground is soft and warm rains and
sunshine are in order. Then, in the
early spring. the clicking from many
trees huddled together is 50 noticeable
