Dear Washington
By Helen Essary

Mrs. Arnistead Peter, jr.-ther homestead,
Tudor Place, at 1914 Thirty-frst St. is one of the
finest survivals Of the day when Georgetown was
flourShing in early elegance; Corcoran Thorn.
in whose family are generations of achievement;
DR.. H. H. D. Sterrett, rector Of All Souls Church.
whose ancestors owned all the land between Ma
comb Street and the Bureau of Standards and
between Connecticut and Wisconsin Avenues:
Miss Mary Sheridan daughter of the Civil War
general; Ralph Snowden HILL of the State De-
partment who lives up to the family pride as a
man Of intelligence and charm; former Senator
Blair Lee, with both Maryland and Virginia &C.
complishments, in the present and past history:
Mrs. Wallach Merriam who has steered many a
hesitating stranger into the proper social paths,
and Mrs. Lloyd Parker Shipper, jr., who con-
ducts dancing classes in her Georgetown house
and teaches wild youngsters to behave with rea-
Sonable manners and decorum.
Many other names might mention Perhaps
someone will suggest them to me- There are also
dozens of diplomats and members of Congress
who have been here for so long period that they
too, unconscousy set the pace for the rest of the
uncertain population. You know how they are
going to behave, how they will look and that they
will greet you with the ease that sophistication
and being in the know give.
In this last official and semiofficial group
would place, just as examples of my theme: Sec
retary of State and Mrs. Cordell Hull Senator
and Mrs James Hamilton. Lewis, Senator and

IHLDER, HAzEN
ASK SLUM FUND

John Ihlder, director of the Dis
trict Alley Dwelling Authority,
was to join Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen today in search of an
avenue to $9,0OO,0OO for slum
clearance here.
Hazen described the $1,000, 900
allotted to the authority recently
by President Roosevelt as 20. K.
for a starter" but asserted the
larger amount was the mini
mum" necessary ito clean out our
alley slums."
The Commissioner said the
source of the $9,O00,000 objective
would be the $5O0,OOo,0 ear
marked for low cost housing under
the Wagner Act.
Ihlder apparently found Hazen
a staunch supporter of the con-
tention the housing program
should be self supporting.
Also to be discussed at today's
meeting is a proposal to amend
the District Alley Dwelling setup
so that funds allotted to it may
be expended for eradicating slums
other than in alleys.

Says Boake Carter

soon be stripped and be left naked and bare, with
no place to go and nothing to do.
But strangely enough, its members are not
fighting basically for better economic and
social system in the United States by which there
might be more even distribution of material
benefits, but rather they are fighting for the
retention of the privileges and advantages which
the American form of living for the last century
has given them and their forbears.
Strip them tomorrow of their possessions, their
servants. their luxuries and put them in jobs
which demand physical and spiritual discipline,
a steady office grind day after day and, while
not all admittedly, but most would fold up.
Societys awakening constitutes not so much
something that is really fundamental, but rather
an awakening to fight to preserve what they
possess and an acceptance of the principle that
the working classes ought to receive higher wages
provided the working people permit them-mem-
bers of society-to retain the power of control
Circulation among those who are supposed to
represent what the society editors miscall our
"elite,' drives home the fact that it is more wor
ried that the shorter hours demanded by the
"help" will interfere with their accustomed per-
sonal comfort, than any increase in wages or
betterment Of conditions.
Society is struggling because it is up
against revolution of its whole method of living.
If, as and when the break comes, wonder
whether it's members can stand the gaff?
wonder if they won't find the competition too
stiff and too tough to survive?

Dictatorship Brings Catastrophe

HISTORY records that every dictatorship has
"A eliminated in catastrophe. There's no con-
vincing reason to conclude that history will re-
verse itself in this respect At all events. the
indisputable fact is that America and Ameri.
cans are infinitely more comfortably circum-
stanced than are any of the peoples today
dominated arbitrarily by dictators
Every check-up of sentiment in our own cotn-

toward the reestablishment of Americanism and
OF all that Americanism implies.
