Round Number One in
The Fight

YESTERDAY the District of Columbia as represented
by some of its finest citizens, thronged the hearing
room of the House Judiciary Committee to argue for the
supposedly naenabe right OF every respectable citizen
of the United States-that of the vote.
It was memorable hearing scheduled the first of
q four-day discussion. Eighteen members of the COM
mittee were present and under the Craftsmanship of
Representative Summers courteous was turned to
the advocates of suffrage.
Very evidently the "sraw vote" of thirteen to one in
in favor of removing the chains

sioner George Allen gave neat summing up OF the
whole case for voteless Washingonans when he said:

the District are entitled to the representation in
their national government any other people in
the United States"
Of course-and there lies brief 1t fails to admit
of argument. Our forces well-generaled and we
are moving along two fronts to common objective.
The Citizens Joint Committee concentrates on the plea
for national representation at the hearing On the other
hand the cause of local suffrage is in the hands OF the
Citizens Conference on District Suffrage There is
smooth coordination which cannot fail of victory.
We are definitely on way.

Mrs. McLean's AdOice

I read In your paper what
Mrs. Mclean thought the "Girl
in Grey" should have done.
That advice is all very good to
give people who can be helped.
I wonder If she knows what

How it feels to walk the streets
looking for work and be refused
again and again, when you are
ready and willing to do any
thing to make livelihood. How
it feels not to know where your
next meal is coming from and
where you will lay your weary
head-Sometimes it's sit up all
night in a bus station because
you lack the price Of q bed and
no one to whom you can turn
for help.

contend with I wonder If she
would still give the advice she

Add "Cure-AA" Plans

I have just finished reading
c. E. P.'s letter. In it he states
a cure for the depression would
be to lend each person a hun
bred dollars, payable at the end
Of 10 years.
This plan might sound all
right; but I don't believe it
would work for the simple rea1'
son that if the Government
would lend me . hundred dol
larA I would put it in the bank
for some rainy day. And there
are many people who would do
the same thing. So, where
would your purchasing power
go? To the banks that are al
ready loaded down with cash.
I have listened and studied
az the present plans for recov-
cry. and they are all doomed to
failure.
The plan that the Admins
tration Is taking to bring US
out Of the recession by spending
billions Of dollars Is doomed
They are going to take all the
money and spend 1t on relief.
They take all the money and
give it to people who don't know
how to handle money: and all
they can do is spend it.
And what happens? In q few
years the money is back in, the
banks end the people are all out
Of work again.
I don't claim to be an econo-
mist; / have been only fairly
educated; but I believe If the
Government would take all this
money and tell all businessmen
to raise all employees wages, and
that they would receive COM
pensation for the difference, we
would see such prosperity Is we
have never seen.
In q year persons who are
USED to handling money would,
by this method. be able to save
enough to start a business Of
their own, leaving a vacant posi-
ton Cor someone who needed a
job, and also hiring a few per-
sons in their own business. They
would require merchandise to
