rent European and Far East political
developments. II there Is a diplo-
matte post in all Europe outside
Britain, France and Germany which
is key spot in keeping the American
Government informed, 1t is Moscow.
The job demands not only some
one who is familiar with Russia, its
policies and problems, but one who
will stick on the Job and who can
work effectively with Soviet govern
ment officials.
Mr.. Steinhardt from all these
standpoints is well qualified for the
post. Coming into the American dip
lomatic service with the advent Of
the New Deal, after having estab-
lished himself as lawyer, he went
first to Sweden as Minister, and while
there participated in conclusion of
the Swedish American trade agree
ment.
While Minister to Sweden Mr..
Steinhardt conducted a study OF
problems and conditions involved in
American recognition of the Soviet
government, and it was largely on
the basis of his reports to President
Roosevelt that recognition was grant,
ed in November, 1888.
From his post in Stockholm Mr..
Steinhardt went in April, 1887, to
Lima, Peru, as Ambassador, where he
has been since. His reports about
German and Italian penetration of
Peru and the Benavides dictatorship
have been highly valuable to this
Government in plotting its course in
Latin America. He was also men,
ber of the American delegation to the
Eighth Pan-American Conference
last December.
Mr.. Steinhardt will take his new
post equipped with a capacity for
hard work and background of ex-
perience in diplomacy and the Soviet
Union which should enable him to
meet American-RuSsian problems
forthrightly as they arise.

Unsound Objections

The proposal to place the public
auditorium and stadium, armory
facilities included, at the end of East
Capitol street has met with certain
objections which seem to, The Star to
be unsound. For example, repre-
sentatives of the hotel and restau-
rant industry have argued that "a
central location on"-specifically the
Municipal Center in the congested
downtown section of the city-is i'm
perative because people attending
conventions would not be willing to
travel very far from their temporary
homes to convention meetings.
It is the contention of these critics
Of the East Capitol street project that
strangers commonly would register
at hostelries in the downtown area.
Therefore, the auditorium should be
built on site convenient to existing
hotel developments. All of which
suggests too great concern for the
status quo of the moment.
There was time, of course, when
Washington possessed more hotels
than it could use with advantage to
owners and operators. But under
present conditions the contrary is
true. A survey shows that there are
now available in the city approx
mately twenty-five thousand hotel
rooms, of which about half are oc-
cupied by regular or non-transient
guests, leaving perhaps twelve thou
sand rooms for convention visitors.
In other words, the Nations Capital
now lacks accommodations for a
really large convention. If the Amer
lean Legion came to Washington, its
members would be obliged to sleep in
tents. Similarly, it would be difficult
to house the American Bar Associa-
ton, the American Medical Associa-
ton, the National Education Asso-
ciation or the American Association
for the Advancement of Science. No
existing hotel boasts a dining room
large enough for such a banquet as
that of the World Power Conference.
New hotels, logically enough, are
indicated. No matter where the
auditorium is placed, new hotels and
restaurants inevitably will spring up
around it. These might as well be
located in East Capitol street as in
Pennsylvania or Constitution ave-
nues, already overcrowded as they
are. Indeed, it would appear to be to
the advantage of hostelries in the
downtown area to have them located
at reasonable distance. The status
quo is sure to be changed. And the
only question is: For better or worse?

Urxes Passage Of War
Referendum Amendment
70 the Editor Of The Star:


The editorial In Thursday's Star COM
ments unfavorably upon the constitu-
tional amendment recently introduced in
the Senate to prohibit waging by the
United States Of war overseas without
authority Of public referendum. One
gathers from the article that the voters
are not to be trusted with deciding the
momentous question Of whether or not
they are willing to become cannon fodder
in order that the Rhine or some other
place thousands Of miles away from
home shall remain our border. In short,
to become again the catspaw for some
foreign government masquerading as q
democracy, or possibly to further the
political ambitions Of some self appointed
native savior. Granding that the edi-
torial Is correct in the statement that

coverage that you gave to the National
Lawyers Guild arising from certain accu-

ecutive Board. OF all newspaper &C.

that your handling Of the news was not
only the fairest, but the most acclrate.
You not only gave coverage to the
charges leveled against US, but more
important, from our own angle, you gave
equal coverage to the statements issued
from this ONCE, the statements of our
president and the denials of the accusa-
tions issued by many Of our prominent

The fair handling Of the news was
indeed gratifying and Is appreciated.

correcting a grave deficiency in her
strategic position which has given
her jitters throughout the twenty

While fighting China on q large

The Luw-Mussuchusetts

1t IS assumed that people are rea-
sonably familiar with the laws Of
States in which they live. However,
they at least pay visits to other
States, and sometimes whole families
move permanently, usually without
any thought as to whether their de-
sired activities may be Lnduly ham,
pered by the law. In spirit OF help
fulness some examples of State laws
are herewith given. Each and every
one has been passed by the Legisla-
ture, and never repealed.
In Massachusetts,, for instance,
flower lovers in search Of expensive
blossoms can get plenty Of action by
picking mayfowers at the sides Of
public roads, and paying a fifty dol
lar fine If caught. That is, 1t is fifty
If the offender commits the crime in
broad daylight, and properly clothed.
The law expressly states that there is
a hundred dollar fine for picking
them at night or in disguise. The
authors Of this brilliant piece of leg
islation evidently felt that it would
be unsportsmanlike to don false
whiskers and sneak up on them in
the dark.
Any one contemplating murder in
Worcester, Mass, should think twice,
If he expects to get any publicity out
of the trial. According to the law,
all sheriffs at murder trials are COM
PEELED to appear in court wearing
swords, top hats, and cutaway coats,
and will undoubtedly steal the show
from mere murderer.
The morals of young girls in VIM
chester, Mass, are carefully protected
by law which forbids them to pick
out any old place in which to dance
on tight rope. The plight OF the
female adolescent would-be tight
rope DANCER is not absolutely hope
less, however. If she has to perform
this trick, or burst with Illustration,
she can do it in a church.

japan Looks North

Japan's announcement of extraor-
dinary war estimates totaling $780,
100000 yen, nearly one and one-half
billion dollars at current exchange
rates, puts a new aspect on the
question of Japan's intentions toward
Russia.
The special budget figures were ac-
companied by the statement that
about three-fifths of this huge sum
will be allocated to the army, one
fifth to the navy and the balance to
reserve and additions to regular
army and navy budgets, which total
more than half billion dollars.
What is significant in these figures
is that although fighting in China
is virtually at a standstill, with the
japanese mopping up guerrillas and
filling in the breaches between occu-
pied areas, Toxic now projects an
expenditure for 1939-4O which ap-
proximates the $5,OOO,OO0 a day it
was estimated the war in China was
costing her at its height.
The obvious question, of course, is
where the money will be spent and
can be answered only in the light of
the known fact that for several
months Japan has been shifting
scores of thousands of her best fight
ers and hundreds of tons of war ma
teriel to Manchukuo and North China.
The only inference to be drawn is
that trouble is expected with the
Soviet Union.
If Japan's special war budget is
any index Of her fear Of conflict with
Russia-and 1t Is most logically

Too many leaves and branches will
