WuIk-Don't Walk

When the subject of regulations to
assist and protect pedestrians first
was brought up for discussion last
autumn, numerous suggestions were
made that variations of the system
of traffic lights would answer the
problem, at least in the congested
sections. This viewpoint was given
consideration by the Traffic Advisory
Council in its recommendations to
the Commissioners in January The
council suggested that along with the
new regulations, additional safe
guards in the form of more adequate
signals for walkers be adopted. Since
that time The Star, in its discussions
of pedestrian safety, frequently has
urged that greater thought be ex-
pended in adapting the system Of
traffic signals to the needs of pedes-
trians.
These views have borne fruit with
in the past week in the installation
of system of walk lights at Thir-
teenth street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. AS an effort on the part of the
city government to meet the compli-
cations of safety, the installation
calls for general praise. Frankly of
an experimental nature, the new
lights still are the subject of correc-
ton on trial and error basis. Ger
tainly no more difficult intersection
could have been chosen for the ex-
pertinent. The enormous flow of foot
traffic in all directions during the
rush hours, the large number of
vehicles making turns and the con-
formation of the intersection itself
contribute to the complications.
The principal fault, and the one
contributing most at present to the
confusion which has resulted, is
brought about by two factors: The
lights are timed at thirty-two sec
onds, which allows pedestrians to
reach the safety zone in the middle
of the avenue, but the space available
for the safety zone is not large
enough to accommodate the numbers
crossing at one time. This probably
can be corrected by further studies
resulting from the Traffic Depart
ments observations through a
lengthening of the period permitted
for crossing. This and similar modi-
flcations will be made as observations
indicate their value and necessity.
1t should be kept in mind, however,
that the lights still are experimental,
that they are designed to assist
rather than delay the pedestrian, and
that the difficulties involved in the
present situation will be less serious
in future installations at corners
where the complications necessarily
are less involved. In the meantime,
any cooperation which pedestrians
and motorists can give traffic officials
in making the system work will con-
tribute greatly to the correction of
one of Washington's most pressing
safety problems.

The Senate Division

AAC CAuCiiV w Wll1Cll party dllu
factional lines have been broken
down in the Senate as the individual
legislators have made their positions
known with respect to the Presidents S
proposal for revision of existing neu-
trality legislation is an impressive
demonstration of the capacity of a
democracy to close ranks in the face
of national emergency.
This, of course, does not suggest
that the members of the Senate will
or should abandon their own convic-
tions merely to present united
front on this issue. In fact, it is
the present division which, perhaps
paradoxically, tends most signifl-
cantly to establish the proposition
that politics in the ordinary sense of
that term can and will be put aside
when a question of grave national
import arises.
One has but to glance at the As
sociated Press poll Of the Senate,
published yesterday, to realize that
this is true. Among those whole
heartedly supporting the President
are to be found men who were bitter
and seemingly implacable enemies Of
his only a few weeks ago. But on
this critical issue-the problem of
choosing a course which offers the
greatest promise of keeping America
out of the European war-Repub-
licans as we'll as Democrats who
have opposed Mr. Roosevelt on vir-
tually all of his New Deal innova-
tions have put the national welfare
as they see it ahead of their personal
political interests and have rallied
to his support.
And those who are opposing the
President-particularly those who
have fought side by side with him in
the past-must be credited with the
same high purpose, the same willing
ness to lay all personal considerations
aside to take their stand against him
in behalf of a policy that they sin
cerely believe to be in the best in
terests of the Nation.
At the present moment it appears
probable that Mr. Roosevelt will be
successful in his effort to secure the
repeal of the arms embargo and the
adoption of legislation which would
require all belligerents to take title
in this country to any commodities
purchased here and to transport the
goods in other than American ships
Believing that this course offers the
country its best chance of staying
out of the war, The Star hopes that
the Presidents program will be
adopted, but whatever the final solu-
ton may be, it is safe assumption
that the choice will be dictated by
sincere considerations of the national
welfare and not by the personal an
tipathies which have often divided
the Senate in the past.
If the special session is concluded
in the spirit which has marked its
opening, it may we'll be that the
American people will have had the
opportunity of watching the func-
tioning of a democracy at its best.

Capital Side|iehts
BIZ Wul p. Kennedy

Representative Bob" Mouton of Louis
lana walks among his colleagues these
days with new dignity, yet radiating
qualification over work well done. The
memorial he is erecting to his parents,
which is also to commemorate his own
lifes work, and which is to be of in
creasing importance in beautifying his
native soil and attracting large numbers
of tourists, has received the highest COM
mendation of David Lynn and William
A. Frederick, who are in charge of the
United States Botanic Garden. Mr.
Mouton, after varied and successful
career, is devoting himself to creating
and developing Les Jardins de Mouton"
at Lafayette. La, on the historic trail
from New Orleans and along the Yer
million River which he Is using for
waterscape improvement. To prepare
himself for the task Of building garden
to rank among the greatest in the world,
Bob" Mouton made a special study of
horticulture, in which profession he has
become nationally known. He made
personal survey of the most famous gar
dens all over the world. He established
his own conservatories and nurseries for
wholesale growing of azaleas roses and
camellia -japonicas He had the site of
his gardens carefully surveyed and land
scaped to take advantage Of its best
opportunities. He employed a famous
sculptor to make statues for slightly loca-
tions in the garden. The Botanic Garden
officials have just returned from visit
to the most famous gardens in the South
land, and have formed the opinion that
the Mouton gardens have the greatest
promise and should in few years Of
natural growth attract worldwide atten-
ton.
The page boys of the House in this
special session are missing one of the
most popular among them. and the
House members are without the services
of one of the most obliging and depend
able pages since the veteran William
Tyler Page (author of The Americans
Creed'D set new standard for service
at the Speakers desk. Dan Ellis of
Alabama after six years service has quit
to enter the University of Alabama-with
the ambition which several pages have
already fulfilled, to some day come back
to the House as member. Those who
have served with Ellis in the House are
busy sending him kilograms of best
wishes"
Another son has joined the procession
of those following their fathers into
service in Congress. Representative
Fadjo Cravens of Arkansas has been
sworn in as successor to the late Repre-
sentative Cravens, who first came to
Congress in 1907 and was reelected to
the present Congress.
Much attention was given at the OPEN
ing of the special session to a House
member-Representat Ralph E. Church
of Evanston, ILL.,, who was wheeled onto
the floor on a stretcher while President
Roosevelt was addressing the joint ses-
sion. Mr. Church, who is serving his
third term, is recovering from an opera
ton and the stitches have not yet been
removed He was determined to obey
the Presidents call because he has never
missed roll call In the House.

Red Scraps of Paper

Red Scraps Of Poper
Decision of the joint Nazi- Com
munist despoilers of Poland to di-
vide that conquered country between
them reminds the despised capital
ist" world, which the Third Inter
rationale never ceases to accuse of
all the crimes in the international
code, that in invading Poland, the
Soviet Union is treaty-breaker on
wholesale scale. It has almost out
stripped Russia's late unfriendly ri
val, Japan, in that field.
l. The Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics is a signatory of the
Briand-Kellogg pact. Stain violated
that agreement when he ordered the
Red army into Poland "as an instru-
ment of national policy.
2. At Moscow on July IS, 1882. the
Soviet Union signed non-aggression
pact with Poland. On May S, 1884, a
protocol was signed at Moscow, ex-
tending the duration OF the pact
until December 81, 1945. Stain vio-
lated that agreement when his army
invaded the Ukranian and White
Russian provinces of Poland
8. At London on July g. 1888 the
Soviet Union signed a multilateral
convention defining aggression with
all seven of the countries whose ter
ritory abuts that of Russia. Those
countries are Afghanistah, Estonia,
Latvia. Persia (noW Iran), Poland,
Rumania and Turkey. Stain vio-
lated that agreement the day his
forces crossed the Polish Russian
border.
The aforementioned eight-power
pact defining aggression becomes of
special interest in light of events in
Eastern Europe. Article II sets forth
that "the state which shall first have
committed one of the following acts
shall be considered as the aggressor:
!. Declaration of war on another
state;
2. Invasion by its armed forces, even
without declaration of war, of
the territory of another state;
8. Attack by it's land, naval or aerial
forces. even without a declaration
of war, on the territory. the YES
sells, or the aircraft of another
state.
So the Soviet Union, by its own
signature, is self-convicted aggres-
sor, as well as a treaty-breaker
Stalin's guilt is even more definitely
fixed by Article III of the multilateral
convention between Russia and her
next-door neighbors That article
Of the London convention provides
that mo consideration of a political,
military, economic or other nature
shall serve as an excuse or justifca-
ton for the aggression as specified
in Article H."
So Stain, who has never hesitated
to denounce capitalist" regimes, is
by the Soviets own signature not
only treaty-breaker and an aggres-
sor, but deprives himself of the
shadow of a pretext for the enter
prise to which the holier- -than-thou
kremlin set its hand, in alliance with
Nazi Germany a week ago. In light
of this record, it becomes less sur
prising that Stain and Molotoff did
not shrink from double-crossing
Great Britain and France by con-
cluding secret agreement with Hit
Ter while pretending to negotiate for
revival of the Triple Entente.
One wonders how much real con-
fidence Berlin places in MOSCOW
and vice versa. It is true that birds
of a feather are now focking to-
gether, but the chances are strong
that they are both in for some head
aches while their comradeship lasts,
If it is permissible to endow such a
mesalliance with any lasting quality

the United States might move into the
fight.
To avoid any such eventuality, Senator
Borah and the isolationist group will
need to propose that American business
abroad cannot increase and that pay
ment for business done during wartime
must be in goods, not in gold or in credits.
However, they are prepared to make no
such proposal and appear as interested
as any one else in orders from abroad
for the farmers and industries of their
States.
Then there are other points that are
very important.
The presently neutrality law permits
American ships to carry contraband and
to carry absolutely any product, except
enumerated arms, ammunition and mu-
nitions of war, into the combat areas and
into the ports of belligerent nations.
\ X 4
Both sides in the present war have
published all-inclusive contraband lists
and reserve the right to search, seize and
even sink vessels carrying just about any
thing. Under existing law, defended by
the isolationist group, vessels carrying
the American flag csn venture into the
danger areas and can take chance on
getting sunk with loss of life that can
create dangerous diplomatic situation
President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull
think that this is dangerous policy 50
far as 1t applies to war materials
Those two officials want Congress, If
changing the law, to require that bellig-
erent nations take title to the war goods
that they buy here and that they carry
those goods through the danger areas in
their own ships not in American ships.
Danger to American shipping is dan
