To the Editor Of The Star:
In the contention that the eastern part
of the city has been overlooked in civic
projects it has been forgotten that the
same holds true in regard to the statues
of Washington.
find that out of Is equestrian statues
all are in the Northwest section, except
one in Stanton Park in the Northeast.
None are in the Southeast section. Out
of more than 80 other statues, monu-
ments and memorials, three are in the
Northeast section, none in the South
east, the greater number in the North
west, the Mall and Potomac Parks.
There are, in my opinion, several stat
ues that should be moved to different
sites: namely, the Pulaski statue and the
San Martin statue. About year ago
a bill was introduced in Congress to re-
locate the Pulaski statue Its present
site certainly does not permit the statue
to stand out as it should and does not
do justice to the statue nor to the city.
The San Martin statue now seems out Of
place in the Municipal Center area.

Dulodier's Reply

Premier Daladier's moderate reply
to Premier Mussolini's clustering de-
mands Sunday was at once a victory
for the appeasement faction in the
French cabinet - notably Foreign
Minister Bonnet-and portent of
easier approach to the problems
which stand in the way of Italo-
French amity, and thereby in the
way of European peace.
M. Daladier scrupulously refrained
from inviting Mussolini to state his
terms in regard to Tunisia, Djibouti
and suez, but he did invite 1taly's
Duce to present proposals which
might be studied on the basis of the
now defunct 1885 treaty.

An Interesting Experiment

From far above Cayuga's waters
comes remarkable discovery. Two
scientists in Cornell's biochemical
laboratory have isolated an engine
whose function is to make horses run
fast. 1t is known as a catalase, and
dwells in the liver. 1t is rather small
several thousand could park COM
fortably in a teaspoon-but deter
mined to survive. 1t fights peroxide
molecules, any time or any place,
just for the fun of it and without
consulting Mike Jacobs. The Cornell
professors, who have watched manv
OF their bouts from a ringside seat
at the business end of a microscope,
claim that 1t is just plain scientific
murder. The peroxide molecule,
HAOs, goes into the ring overweight
from an extra oxygen atom. The
catalase sizes him up, decides on
which side he can't take it, and with
a snappy left hook knocks out the
surplus atom, and reduces the enemy
to HsO, or water. This probably an
noys the horse. At any rate, say the
scientists, he runs faster.
The information should be of in
tense interest to certain other scien-
lists who will start conducting some
fascinating experiments in the re-
search laboratory at Bowie today.
For some time it has been known
that a horses nose can be a fertile
culture medium for reproduction.
A healthy pair of dollars planted
there have sometimes raised a
family of hundred or more in a
few brief minutes-but all too often
they die without issue. Such things
should not be. The dollar is a. boon
to mankind on rainy days, and also
comes in handy in sunshine, drought,
snow, wind, and hail. Dollar lovers
deslrouS of installing promising
young couple on a nose where they
will have a chance to thrive and
multiply, now know which horse to
select. Its liver shotld have a string
OF good fast welterWeight catalases,
with enough peroxide for sparrlng
partners. It would also be OF in
valuable assistance to the experiment
If none of the other horses followed
the same technique.

Suggests Study of Methods
OF LESS Pretentious" Communities.

To the Editor of The Star:
Any Of our antipodal cousins listening
in on the Wrangle over what further
variety of robber taxes shall be inflicted
upon disfranchised Washington must
marvel to hear such loudly professed
liberty lovers debating choice in the
pilfering instead of protesting each and
every proposal as an invasion of private
rights and a detriment to business prog
ress and peace of mind.
Down there they have long had local
option in taxation. The result is that
taxation of land values as main or sole
source of public revenues is on the
spread all over Australia, New Zealand
and South Africa. In the recently estab-
lished district and city of Canberra, cap
ital of Australia, and in the province of
Northern Nigeria, Africa, land specula-
ton is out to stay, as the lands are pub
lie property, to be had for private use
only on government rentals taken in
lieu of taxes. Leading cities such as
Sydney and Johannesburg have no other
tax of consequence. so that business
moves freely, building is encouraged,
there are no slums and expenses of ad-
ministration are at a minimum. Land
value taxation is not an invasion of pri-
vate property rights as it takes for conf
munity use only community made
values.
If we superior Americans would rest
now and then from contemplation of our
own greatness and sagacity to look into
details of what is doing in some less pre-
tentious parts of the globe, we might fall
upon means of solving our farm, un-
employment, housing and other pressing
problems without turning Government
into an eleemosynary institution.

When Julius Rosenthal stated that 95

was honest with himself and with the

will scof at those who have failed and
will point to themselves as exponents of
that success which others might attain
to by sustained effort.
AS matter of fact financial success
In the battle of life is now more difficult
OF achievement by honest methods than
ever before. The thousands of high
school and college graduates soon to join
the army Of unemployed will find en-
trance to opportunity barred on every
side with dozens of eager applicants for
every desirable opening. They will be
dazed by the discovery that there are
already too many doctors, lawyers,
preachers, merchants Of all kinds, clerks,
statesmen, stenographers, etc., and that
the only lucrative positions are with the
Government. But If they press the
investigation they will find that this
condition need not be, that our country

THIS AND THAT
BIZ Charles E. TraceUell.

How could an inlaid chess table pos
sibly show way of life?
Yet it did.
The man said that he had wanted
such table since childhood, but had
never got round to it.
He had not given it up, however.
There was plenty of time. Some day,
he said, he would get it.
But there was no hurry.
The thought came to a listener that
possibly this gentleman had laid hold
of one of the secrets of happy and sue
cessful living.
Money, while helpful, is not the key.
Neither is place, power nor position.
Pomp and circumstance have their
place. The secret of success is not one,
but many; it eludes some who grasp
for it nightly, comes to others who
do not half try.
One phase is contained, certainly, in
the attitude of the man who wants a
chessboard but hasn't bought one yet
He lives as if he is timeless.
The significant part Of his casual re-
mark lay in its reference +, the fac5
that he believed there was plenty OF
time
No hurry for him.
What was 20 years to him, in so
simple a matter as the purchase of .
neatly inlaid table?
No mere inlaid board would do, of
course.
He must have a table, all made to-
gether, the inlaying being in the top
an integral part of the surface, and
the board, itself, an integrated portion
of the complete table.
Still there was nothing to hurry about
Every time he thought of such table
which was about once every 10 years
. he thought again that he must have
one.
Still there was plenty of time, after
all. Why hurry?
His idea evidently was that if he had
waited all these years, without getting
the article, there was no particular rea
son rushing downtown tomorrow after it
Next year would do just as we'll.
Or 10 years later
No hurry at all.
+ X
Over the years, the picture of that
table adorning his home had been a
real source of satisfaction.
No doubt many persons with equa1
imagination have mentally bought pia.

Progress in Safety

While the National Safety Council
announces new records in the ma
tional battle against traffic acci-
dents-reporting a decrease of IL
per cent in fatalities for February
as compared with the same month
a year ago, and showing the six
teenth consecutive month in which
there has been a decline-WaShing-
ton has established a record of it's
own OF which every citizen can take
personal pride.
The new pedestrian regulations are
less than month old. Yet Traffic
Director w. A. Van Duzer reports, in
commencing the success of the rules,
that in the first fifteen days of
March, under the pedestrian traffic
control system, the National Capital
had one hundred and eight fewer
accidents than during the same
period OF a year ago. It is impoS-
sible, of course, to estimate &C
curately how many lives have been
saved, or how many permanent dis
abilities have been prevented, but by
any form of comparison the figure
is undeniably impressive.
This record, which is such a large
factor in Washington's campaign to
wipe out the terrible and needless
toll of the modern day, is due to the
splendid work of the police and
traffic officials, their helpful educa-
tional campaign and their alert en-
forcement of the regulations since
they have been in effect. But to an
even greater extent it is due to the
Wholehearted cooperation of intelli-
gent pedestrians in protecting their
own lives, and to those motorists who
have shown themselves willing to
play the game.
There are still violations, and there
is still a need for an alert sense of
civic esponsibility. There will always
be those who feel rules were made
to be broken, and that regulations
are not for such as they. The streets
are no safer on their account.
Washington has long way to go
to wipe out the blight of death and
injury on its streets. But it is on
the right road. A reduction of a
hundred and eight accidents in a
single fortnight is an unusual record.
Constant close observance of COM
mon sense safety measures is the
only way to continue on that road.

COrrects "AnsWer"
On Diesel Engines.

To the Editor Of The Star:
In your issue of March "a, "Questions
and Answers" you state in answer to
motive that the most powerful Diesel
engines in the world are 5,400 horse
power.
This answer was probably secured
prior to the Inauguration of the Diesel
engines which the Seaboard Air Line
Railway has now in daily service between
Washington and Miami. Fla, and I quote
a statement that think will be inter-
esting:
1.-The 600O-horsepower, streamlined
Diesel electric locomotives, built by the
Electro-Motive Corp, are the longest
and most powerful yet designed. Each
locomotive comprises three 1000 horse
power units coupled together and oper-
ates from single control station in the
leading unit In turn, each of the 1000
horsepower units is composed of two
1000 horsepower Diesel engines.
"The complete locomotive is 210 feet
long, 13 feet II inches high, feet 10
inches wide. Equipped for service, it
weighs 100000 pounds. Each of the three
units carries 1900 gallons OF fuel oil and
1,1OO gallons of water to cool the engines
and heat the train. In the entire run
from Washington to South Florida fuel
ing stops are only made twice-at Ham
1et, N. c., and Wildwood, Fla.
"Slack between cars is completely
eliminated and the entire train, consist
ing of the three-unit Diesel electric
locomotives and the 13 Pullman and din
starts simultaneously"
am writing this in the interest of
accuracy and because of the fact that
we take pride in this engine which
represents about the last word in Diesel
train locomotives. w. D. FAUCETTE.

Premier gave Mussolini clearly to
understand that France would cede
mot foot of her territory and not
one of her rights" sharp warning
to which Prime Minister Chamber
lain provided the prelude by an
nouncing Britain's intention to re-
inforce her military strength, which
would be at the disposal of France
. If war comes.
Shortly before NJ. Daladier broad
cast in Paris Prime Minister Cham
berlain told the House of Commons
that the size of the territorial army
would be doubled from it's present
10000 men and officers to 100000.
I'm time" Mr.. Chamberlain added,
Britain would be able to send to
France not the nineteen divisions
which War Secretary Leslie Hore-
Belisha promised several weeks ago,
but thirty-eight divisions.
This expanded British Army, CORE
spending to the American National
Guard, will magnify the authority
with which Britain and France raise
the stop sign against Hitler when
they finally realize that further re-
treat is impossible.
Mr.. Chamberlain thus imbued M
Daladier's mo territorial conces-
sions" with a ready military power
which will not be lost on Mussolini
whose next move it is in the jockey
ing for Mediterranean primacy.
If II Duce has something definite
to propose to France, other than a
notion that he wants something in
Tunisia, Djibouti and Suez, the path
for it has been cleared. He has M.
Daladier's invitation to talk, but
without commitment to 60 beyond
the 1885 treaty.

Cotton Dilemma

In announcing the cotton-eXport
subsidy program, the White House
is in the embarrassing position Of
proposing to solve a New Deal di-
lemma by striking at basic New
Deal tenet: The freedom of the
worlds export import commerce.
Subsidization of overseas cotton
sales offends the philosophy which
underlies Secretary Hull's reciprocal
trade agreements and which led
Secretary Morgenthau to impose
countervailing duties against Ger
man goods. Already we subsidize
wheat exports, and now apparently
we are we'll launched on a new
nationalistic trade program which
can end only in the sort of world
wide tariff war that marked the last
few years of President Hoover's term.
The one good thing that can be
said for the cotton subsidy program
is that at this time foreign cotton
sales cannot be regarded as dump
ing, because textile millers abroad
have been crying for American high
grade cotton. That cotton has been
unavailable because it has been
locked up in warehouses as the col
lateral for Government loans to
growers. These loans were sort Of
soothing sirup ladled out to cotton
farmers to enhance their incomes in
low-price years. But the stocks of
loan cotton grew to such proportions
that a new sweet-tasting nostrum
had to be brought forth; the stocks
had to be reduced because they offer
a permanent threat to any rise in
the cotton market The remedy
takes the form of export subsidies.
BY now it must be apparent that
there is no end to the medicines for
agriculture. Each cure causes new
ailment. The cotton dilemma, to be
sure, is not so much the administra-
tion's fault as the fault of sectional
political pressure, which disrupts the
integrated plan worked out by Sec
retary Wallace and his associates for
the improvement of American agri-
culture. The history of the after
math of the cotton nostrums ought
to be a good lesson to Congress,
which now is trying to introduce new
and economically unsound panaceas
into the agriculture appropriation
bill.

Economy or LogroI|inq

While the House Appropriations
Committee notes that pressure of
time prohibited the fullest possible
inquiry into relief needs before it's
decision was reached to recommend
a supplemental fund of S1OO, 900, 900,
1t must be said that it's report cites
some convincing figures in justif-
cation of reducing the sum from the
S15O,OO0,O00 requested by President
Roosevelt.
The House is reminded, for in
stance, that relief funds were not
exhausted on February l as feared
by the administration when Mr..
Roosevelt originally asked for the
$875 100000 which subsequently was
cut to SIPS, 100000, but that balance
Of some $26,000,O00 remained after a
$45, 100000 pay roll had been met for
the first week of the month. In
addition, on the side of economy,
there is an estimated saving through
the mandatory removal of aliens and
other unqualified individuals from
the w. P. A. rolls. The dollar total
of these items comes to considerably
more than the $50,O0O,OOO shaved by
the committee from administration
requests, leaving an apparently safe
margin for the care of the needy
through the present fiscal year.
1t is early yet, of course, to predict
what will be the eventual fate of this
appropriation measure, but the
temper of the committees report,
measured against other recent de-
velopments, makes it certain that
determined and apparently intelli-
gent influence for economy will play
an important part in fixing the final
figure.
Present, too, although perhaps not
in the orbit of intelligent" influ-
ences, is the open feud between the
rural and urban legislators, a form
of reverse logrolling which resulted
on Tuesday in the defeat of the
quarter billion farm parity program.
That farm belt members will attempt
retaliatory action against the relief
measure which promises greatest
benefits to the needy in the cities is
freely predicted.
1t is to be hoped, however, that any
such effort will not extend beyond
the point of reasoned economy, a
boundary which should be observed
in measurement of farm relief as
we'll as urban relief.

Forecasts Nomination
OF Douglas for President.

To the Editor of The Star:
When conservative like David Law
renee commends the appointment of
William o. Douglas to the Supreme Court
one has hope.
Hope, I mean. that the conservative
faction of the Democratic party and
those representing the New Deal may
finally hit on man who will have a
chance of winning his way to the White
House. Mr.. Douglas wouldn't suit the
Southern mossbacks. to be sure, but
they might accept him when they see
that there is no chance of victory in
1910 without Roosevelt support.
Business wouldn't like Mr.. Douglas,
but it would find it hard to attack him.
I rather like Mr.. Douglas chances for
President in 1910.
