Our budget has been Slashed; we are one Of
President Roosevelt and John L. Lewis are quite
right-you cannot cut wages with living expenses
as high as they are. And you cannot expect
Washington to pull out of its misery and it's dis
grace when it has no direct Representations no one
really cares, and it is all bound up with red tape
There are so many fine men that are starting
up production and giving work to thousands of
unemployed. That is the way to bring back
prosperity. Put people back to work instead Of
cutting their wages Also give the citizens of
Washington the say of how they should run
their city and, as have said before, if it is a
failure, it will be their own fault.
Vote Essential Here
People must be fed and clothed. Washington
is now like the poor hungry beggar in the bread
line 1t must be given the vote. We must keep
our own house in order. People must be made
responsible and have the power to better condi-
tions so they can hold out helping hand to the
fellow who is down and out; and if they do this,
the world will be much better place as time
goes on, and it is the only way to make it safe
for democracy.
The whole District of Columbia is looking to
Senator Lewis. Senator Capper, and Representa-
tive Randolph to see that the right conditions
are made possible. With such splendid men lead
ing the fight, this is sure to happen.
The vote for Washington is sure to come
sooner or later. Let every publc-minded citizen
take an interest in this worthy and important
cause, and let's all pull together and see that we
carry our vote to success.

CHINESE
HAIL new YEAR

A subdued Chinatown was cele-
brating New Year today. Personal
debts were settled and friendships
were renewed, but the sparkle
which marked the revelry of other
years seemed lacking.
There was revelry, in modera,
ton, at the On Leong Chinese
Merchants Association and other
clubs and eating places along the
400 to 900 blocks of H ST., but
the wall signs Help the Refu-
gees" apparently put damper on
the festivities.
The celebration got under way
last night, but probably will not
last beyond Wednesday. In other
years, a full week has been set
aside properly to welcome the new
year.
Chinese explained no invitations
were sent to outsiders this year
because Of the drain on both
spiritual and financial resources
of the local Chinese community
by the troubles of their brethren
across the Pacific.

JOHNSON RAPS
PATRONAGE BILL

A bitter denunciation of the Nc
Kellar amendment to the pending
independent offices appropriations
bill was made by Robert L. John
son, president of the National Civil
Service Reform League, in a letter
to members of the board of di.
rectors of the league.
johnson described the amend.
ment as "the most brazen attempt
that has yet been made to extend
the spoils system in the Federal
Government"
by requiring senatorial ap-
proval of future appointments to
every position paying $4,000 or
more per annum in all the in
dependent agencies of the Fed
eral Government, the Mcclellan
amendment turns all such posi-
tions over to sordid politics."

The league had emphasized that
there can be no legitimate ex-
cuse for requirement of confirma-
tion by the Senate of general ad-
positions.

Says Boake Carter

America free from Germany, Italy and Japan,
and therefore we should return the compliment
by having American citizens join up some time in
the future. If needs be- to fight to preserve
British holdings in the Far East.
The first step in the education campaign of
poor dumb" Johnnie Q. Public of America was
the famous Chicago speech. Step No. 2 was the
White House innocentlooking statement of Janu-
ary IL that the United States did not intend to
release economic ties to the Philippines until
1960-which, although most people did not recog.
ntze it as such, was warning to Japan. a -
Britain Is Cagey
Step No. 3 was the sending of three light
cruisers of the United States fleet to New Zealand
naval celebrations and also the British celebration
at Singapore.
Step No. was Secretary Hull's letter to the
Senate in which he declared this nation is not
interested in the Chinese, but rather in preserva
ton Of orderly processes"
Step No. 5, without precedent for 80 years, was
the White House statement that all United States
citizens, despite the many destitute in this
country, should contribute promptly $1,000,000
to relieve destitute Chinese civilians
The "world.savers" don't realize the British
Empire won't be defeated. That's not Londons
method of diplomacy. When Britain finds any
one making really serious trouble for her, she
disarms the troublous ones by making them allies.
Look at the HoareLaval peace plan, which was
to sell out Ethiopia and placate Italy.
