The matter of control of pedestrian
traffic is being put directly to the
people of Washington. To greater
extent than usual, the desires of the
citizens are to be considered.
The Commissioners have asked the
director of traffic to prepare a
definite regulation which will be pub
lished at least a month before the
public hearing is held on the pro-
posal. This will give individuals and
the interested organizations time to
consider their stand carefully.
1t all hinges Oh the opinion eX-
pressed by Commissioner McCoach
that pedestrian control cannot be eff
fective without 80 to IS per cent CO.
operation from the public.
There is no doubt that most citi-
zens of Washington would be in favor
of some kind of control measure, and
there is no doubt that most of them
would cooperate by observing the
regulations after their adoption. But
there is serious doubt that 80 per cent
of any group of citizens would back
any one type Of regulation, nor would
1t be fair or desirable that such near
unanimity be sine qua non to some
change in the current picture. The
fate OF the whole plan should not be
allowed to hinge on a demand for al
most complete approval before adop-
ton Of the regulations. There must
be allowance for honest differences
on details. 1t is extremely doubtful,
for instance, that 80 per cent of
Washingtonians are in favor of the
full code now controlling local mo-
florists.
Essentially complete public Coop
Grafton can be won for any intelligent
control measure through education.
Appeal to the civic &C seriousness is
powerful force in the regulation OF
city. Wholesale arrests are not nee
eSsary to make pedestrian control
work. In the sixty-seven other cities
which have such regulations there is
no congestion Of police courts due to
tay-walking. A few fragrant viola
tions may crop up which will lead to
arrests, but the strongest arm of en-
forcement is public opinion.

Preparation Against Nazi
Menace Urged.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Your editorials emphasizing the i'm
portance of military preparedness by the
United States are truly fine. When a
man such as David Lloyd George can
say that there will be war" in spite Of
the Munich pact 1t is time that the
United States began to think about ade-
quate defensive and offensive measures.
We cannot afford to lose any time or
leave anything undone in fighting ag-
gressors with every bit Of strength at
our command. The United States, as
the leading democratic power In the
world, will be called upon to face the
Naz menace some time in the future.
If the Nazis know that We are strong in
the air, land and water they will not
be so ready to challenge u.s.
Lloyd George in referring to the &C
complishments of the Munich pact said,
I'VE have lost honor, but we have not
gained tranquility" As an expert on the
European situation the words Of thu

Mass Housing.

Over the opposition of the Airing
ton County Civic Federation, the
Arlington County Board has approved
rezoning applications which pave the
way for two more big housing prof.
ects.
The civic opposition was not based
on the ground that the specific pro-
posals involved were Objectionable,
but that the board should study the
whole question of mass housing
more thoroughly before acting. It
was sound suggestion, deserving
more consideration than it received.
Although made in regard to the
pending coming cases, the fedora
tons proposal that a scientific study
OF mass housing be made is still
timely not only in Arlington but
also in other suburban counties. For
other big-scale operations undoubt-
edly will be projected, perhaps in the
near future.
There is sincere conviction among
many residents of the outlying Sec
tions that the mass housing project
Of today may become the tenement
OF tomorrow The question is raised
whether the taxes from mass housing
developments are adequate to pay for
the public services required by their
inhabitants, particularly school costs.
Consideration also should be given,
civic leaders say, as to the amount of
revenue received for the additional
fire and police protection, water and
sanitation facilities required. Some
assert the revenue from huge hous-
ing projects does not cover the
increased county expenditures in
volved. Furthermore, it is contended
concentrated apartments lead to
traffic congestion.
Colonial Village, Buckingham and
the two proposed Arlington housing
projects which are to cost total of
$l0,0O0,000 may be fine for those who

Hopkins Policy Can Lead
Only to Chaos.

To the Editor OF The Star
"The only thing will regret when re-
tire to private life is that while had the
power did not spend more money" A
startling statement, but one that will &C.
casion no surprise to the American tax
payer. who is thoroughly familiar with
Mr.. Hopkins bewildering notion that I'VE
must spend in order to save
Since the New Deal engaged in the
most stupendous spending spree in his
tory, the public debt has been practically
doubled and industry crippled, and in
many instances completely paralyzed by
mounting taxes. Distributing other peo-
pies money must be an interesting pur-
suit, but hasn't Hopkins lost sight of the
unacceptable fact that taxes are paid by
the workers brow sweat" as Franklin
Roosevelt frequently pointed out prior to
his election?

Equitable Life Insurance Co., said in a
recent speech: 1T is not the bonded debt

the gross. but it is taxes that are sucking
the life blood of the railroads and private
industry" These views will hardly be
adopted by Harry Hopkins. Nevertheless
they are shared by foremost industrialists
throughout the land who still hold the
opinion that a nation cannot tax and
waste its way out of financial and social
difficulty. Unless some other method is
found it would seem we are headed for
ultimate chaos.

The Individuals.

What is to become of the individ-
ualist in a socialized world? This
question is raised by Yehudi Menu
hin, violin virtuoso, who has declined
to join musicians union and there
fore loses a three thousand dollar
engagement with the Los Angeles
Philharmonic Orchestra. It is the
artists contention that he has mo
interests requiring collective bargain
gaining" And that argument, it
would seem, is logical enough.
But the union also insists that its
demands are reasonable. Each play

live in them, those who operate them,
those who are employed in building
them and the business of the COM
munities involved. But civic groups
which have seen the danger and sue
cessfully fought row houses in the
suburbs deserve support when they
ask probe of what appears to them
to be similar menace from mass
housing. The. problem is one on
which public officials should adopt
a long-range policy.

The World Var Day by Day
November 2, 1913.

A notable day for the Allies. The
British captured Valenciennes, Canadian
troops being the first to enter the city,
and then advancing on the road to Mons.
Four thousand prisoners were taken.
German counter-attacks with tank sup
port broke down completely.
Americans assaulted and took both
Buzancy and Barricourt, having pushed
on seven miles southwest Of Stenay. The
enemy broke in wild disorder and re-
treated so rapidly that infantrymen were
enabled to ride In trucks and chase them
across open country.

To the Editor of The Star:
Every time read that our crackpot
Agriculture Department is buying up
prices, Immediately stop buying those
things for our family. Right now we
have stopped buying oranges and grape
fruit, but are using tomato juice and
pineapple juice instead. Maybe some
of these amateur economists will learn
eventually that they cannot successfully
interfere with natural economic laws,
but it is going to be an expensive propo-
sition to pay for their education.

Story Of Hero Police Dog
Appreciated.

Appreciated.
The Star is to be congratulated on the
wonderful story and picture of the police
dog which saved the life OF its masters
at the expense of its own puppies
The story was a masterful news pres
entation, the photograph not only a
model of timeliness and interest but
exceptional as to depth and composition,
qualities often missing in pictures taken
in hurry.
AS friend of all animals, especially
the cat, am glad to pay tribute to
Minnie, and to admit freely that no
cat would ever do what she did.

be based upon the overthrow of
all existing governments, the
question whether an 1avowed
Communist who is not a citizen Of
the United States should be al
lowed to enter or remain in this
country is up for official conside
ration.
Await Court Ruling =
The answer probably will not
be definite until the Supreme
Court acts on a case which has
been brought before it from a
lower court, which held that an
alien Communist named Severn
could be deported solely because
of his acknowledged Communist
affiliations.
Meantime an English radical,
John Strachey, who obtained an
American passport by stating to
the Embassy in London that he
was not a Communist, has been
detained at Ellis Island by order
of the State Department, which
cancelled his passport visa after
he had sailed, on receipt of cab
led information that the man had
positively enrolled as a member
of the Communist party in Eng
land.
Since each state of the Union
makes it's own definition of citi-
zenship, a majority of the states
have admitted the Communist
party to equal rights with other
parties, including a place on the
official ballot. That vigorous eff
forts to outlaw the Communist
party will be made when Con-
gress meets is more than prob
able. That such a move would
have any effect upon Communist
propaganda is regarded as i'm
probable.
