Allied for Peace

The Scandinavian foreign ministers
are meeting in Copenhagen amid
grave perils for their countries. Two
of them-Sweden and Norway-are
not only under immediate threat
from Russia, but are caught between
Great Britain and Germany, while
the third-Denmark-is suffering
with the rest of Scandinavia from
the war at sea.
These. countries established long
before the present wars broke out
and have maintained throughout the
perilous conditions of the past five
months a complete separation of
policy. While cooperating with one
another in the effort to establish uni
form policies they have taken great
pains to avoid anything resembling
q military alliance or common front
toward the belligerents.
IN their second meeting
last December the foreign ml..-
listers have before them the prob
lem of agreeing upon lines of action
which each will take completely in
dependent of the Others Since they
last met, developments both in Fin
land and in the Western European
war have created new questions for
them. The Russian drive against
Finland Is slowly, but relentlessly,

conditions II we had some Of the imagi-
nation and idealism of youth. We can
not forget that it was young man who
gave the world the highest system of
ethics, the loftiest conception of God and
right human relations, namely. the Man
of Nazareth, Jesus Christ When mere
youth we read that He sought the pres
ence of the learned men of the temple
and that. He astounded them with His
wisdom. His religious system, which we
call Christianity, always has made its
strongest appeal to youth. If in any
wise it has lost this appeal In our day.
it is because the spontaneity, zeal and
enthusiasm of youth have been absent
from its presentation. The normal i'm
pulse of the young is to the mysticism in
religion. The heroic elements in Christ
have an irresistible appeal. 1t is what
Thomas Hughes called, the "manliness Of
Jesus" that makes the strongest appeal.
A youth wrote me in answer to the
question, why do you go to Church?"::
II 60 to Church to renew my courage
that may overcome the problems that
confront me-" The appeal to the heroic
Christ was compelling motive for his
loyal devotion. Here may say, after 40
years Of university preaching, that the
young men who are serving as chaplains
in the universities Of America differ
widely from those of 80 or 40 years ago?
They have the vision of those to whom
they preach, they know the mind and
the aspirations of youth and they effec-
lively meet the demands of their hearers
Recent experience in university preach
ing indicates an interest in religion such
as we did not witness 80 or more years
ago. Youth still outdistances the imagi-
nation of the preacher. yes, and the i'm
agination Of the statesman and law
maker. To understand the mind of the
child or of the youth, we must be able
to catch something of his vision, share
his enthusiasm and build out of his
dreams the new world that is to be- This
is to see the greater possibilities of life
as the youthful, daring Christ saw them.

bending the Finnish lines; all the
Scandinavian countries have had
their ships sunk or subjected to oner-
GUS blockade conditions; the British
attack upon the Altmark has raised
a barrier between Britain and Nor
way.
While there is every reason to be-
lieve that the Scandinavians will
continue their independent policies,
maintaining them with their own
military and diplomatic strength, 1t is
certain that the probable solutions
OF the problems each faces will be
discussed and influenced by the de-
sire to spare all Scandinavia involve

T Truffic Arrests

Since the beginning of Washing
tons campaign to make It's streets
safer, one objection to existing meth
DDS Of enforcement has been based
on the close attention given viola
tions which have no direct reference
to safety. A month ago, comforting
with the commanders of the police
precincts, Major Brown ordered a
greater concentration on violations
Of the law by moving vehicles. As a
res 1t, The Star publishes today, on
page six Of this section, survey of
the number of arrests in January.
The findings are Illuminating.
OF nearly ten thousand arrests in
the month, approximately one-half
were for simple parking violations.
This probably should not be accepted
as a normal figure, since the heavy
SHOWS Of January apparently resulted
in an increase in this category, al
though police had been instructed to
use discretion in ticketing vehicles
stalled by the snow. But, while some
few of these parking charges involved
public safety, there is wide margin
between the nearly five thousand
parking tickets issued and the four
hundred and seventy-two speeders
arrested. Aside from speeding, the
most common charge affecting safety
was failure to give hand signal,
ninety-two persons being thus &C
cused.
Another surprising figure was that
involving the pedestrian regulations.
Arrests Of those afoot numbered a
hundred and two, while only eight
motorists were accused of failing to
give pedestrians their right OF way.
This showing, in the face of an ap-
parent increase in the number OF
such violations by motorists in recent
months, justifies to. some extent
complaints made by pedestrians, al
though it cannot be construed in any
way as giving reason for violations by
pedestrians. Police, according to Ma
jor Brown, recently have been in
structed to "give special attention to
motorists at intersections to see that
pedestrians are given right of way
at traffic lights"
If, after nearly year of operation
of the pedestrian regulations this
order has just been issued, the de-
lay appears to be partly responsible
for the city's failure to make a better
safety showing during 1889. January's
arrests would seem to support this
view.

A Few

Every college" according to DR..
Roswell Gray Ham, needs few
reds" Speaking with the authority
which properly derives from his posi-
ton as president of Mount Holyoke
at South Hadley, Mass, his opinion
is entitled to respect HeSrepresents
in his views the great traditions Of
the founder of the institution he
heads-the gifted and generous edu-
cational pioneer, Mary Lyon, wom-
an of sainted memory.
But his attitude requires explana-
ton, if it is not to be misunderstood.
"The experimental tendency of
youth" he says, "is a characteristic
that should not be snuffed out, and
1t is too soon replaced by conserva-
tism." In other words, he believes
that the Inevitable effects of time
upon human mind ought not to be
hastened arbitrarily. With that phi
losophy even professed reactionaries
will agree. In democratic COM
munity no individual should be CO.
creed.
Yet it may be wondered what DR..
Ham means by "a few" Expert
mentalism Is not an end in itself;
both radicalism and modern LIBERAL
ism are ways or means rather than
ultimate goals. A boy or a girl, it
may be supposed, does not normally
aspire to career of agitation. Few
young people desire to practice revo-
luton as a vocation. It follows, then,
that it is not the main business of
universities and colleges to produce
rebels against the existing social Or
der. If that were their purpose, there
would be opposition to the con-
tinuance of their policy of destruc-
tion.
DR.. Ham, of course, knows all this
very we'll. When he speaks of "a few"
communists or anarchists, he is
faithful to the dictionary definition
of mot many or "a small number"
He would not wish a majority to in
dorse the dogmas Of Lenin or Stain.
All that he asks is "a leaven for the
lump" The radicalisms of one gen.
Grafton are the conservatisms of the
next, and it is law Of nature that
the "reds" of today are the "tories,"
the economic royalists," the enemies
Of change" and even the "foes of
progress" tomorrow. Life sobers peo-
pie. The young become the old And
so the balance in the social scale is

A Good Stort

Secretary Hull's trade agreements
program, continuation of which has
been sanctioned by the House, is of
to good start in the Senate as
result of the announcement by Ohio's
Senator Taft that he is opposed to
any amendment requiring Senate
ratification of the agreements. In
taking this eminently sensible posi-
ton, Senator Taft, a leading candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination, said that such a require
ment simply would kill the whole
program"
1t is difficult to see how any one can
dispute that contention. The main
purpose and the greatest single virtue
of the present program is that it
removes the delicate task of tariff
adjustment from the influence OF
narrow sectional interests and the
consequential "log rolling" which has
characterized virtually every con-
gressional effort at formal tariff re-
vision. If the trade agreements were
to be made subject to Senate approval
it would be almost impossible to ne
gotiate any worthwhile pact. Nego-
tiators from other countries hardly
would be willing to spend months
preparing an agreement If they knew
that in all probability it would be
killed or drastically changed in the
Senate. The proposal, as Senator
Taft said, simply would kill the whole
program, and there should be no
misunderstanding about that. If the
trade program is to be killed it should
be done without subterfuge by the
taking of a vote on that specific issue,
and not through the adoption of a
ruinous amendment. The public then
would know where to place RESPONSE
bility for the economic distress which
would follow.
Senate opponents of the present
program have suggested other amend
ments which are designed to guard
against the possibility that the linz
tied power Of tariff adjustment now
vested in the President and the Sec
retary of State might be abused in
the future. II this power had been
abused in the past there would be
justification for such amendments,
but that is not the case. Without q
doubt, the country as whole has
benefited from the agreements which

THE WISDOM OF YOUTH
By the Right Reu. James Freeman d. d. ILL., d. D. c. IT,
Bishop OF Wushtn1ton.

Youth unembarrassed by too great
contact with the world, unspoiled by
their sophisticated and disillusioned eld-
ers often disclose q wisdom that is COM
pelling and convincing. Youth has i'm
agination and imagination plays an i'm
portant part in the scheme of life. We
read that when contending and ambi-
tious. disciples would seek to have high
and conspicuous places in Christ's King
dom and asked Him: who is the great
est In the Kingdom" that He called
little child unto Him and submitted 1t
as having the elements of character that
best fitted men to enter the Kingdom.
1t may be that too little consideration
is being given today to the place that the
child occupies in the economy of life
at least too little Of the simplicity and
unsullied ways Of child life are given their
just place In our planning and programs.
1t Is not strange that the most joyous
day IN the year, Christmas, has its in
spiration In the Child Of Bethlehem, nor
that one Of Longfellow's most appealing
poems grew out Of his love of children.
The child is mystic and dreamer. This
is why wise man of old wrote, your
young men shall see visions" It is the
retention Of the child spirit in youth that
makes him an idealist and dreamer, and
how often his dreams concern the most
real and essential things of life! There
is something other than mathematical
tables or the logic Of the syllogism that
makes the machinery Of life run smooth
and frictionless. There are conditions
where the maxim that two and two make
four" will not solve problem or rectify
a wrong. Youth resists the adage that
what has been, must be-" and wants to
know the reason why.
There is something exhilerating even
in the haste of youth, its freedom from
sham and the artifices of deception. We
do not approve impetuosity where great
decisions have to be made. but we would
accomplish better results and move
faster in the direction Of more equitable

School Gardens

odCA III 10UH MISS susan Site,
teacher at the old Normal School,
then located in the Franklin School
Building, established a small garden
for school children on the Depart
ment of Agriculture grounds. There
she instructed students from nearby
schools In some of the wonders of
nature as exemplified in the products
Of the soil. The extra-curricular
experiment proved to be extremely
popular. Other schools planted gar
dens. From that unpretentious be-
ginning has come the present CITY,
wide system of flower and vegetable
gardens, under supervision of the
Science Department of the Public
Schools. Last summer there were
flfty-four such gardens, the largest
being at the John Burroughs School
and the smallest at the Madison
School.
But many of these bright spots
about the city may not bloom again
this year unless the Board of Educa-
ticn succeeds In obtaining from Con-
gress the modest sum Qess than
$4,000 needed to give the garden
program the status of a full-fledged
public school activity. Up to now the
gardens have been handicapped by
the uncertainties of joint private
and public sponsorship and a hap
hazard financial program. Last year
the appropriation was only $2,400-
much less than the absolute mini
mum needed to keep the gardens
going-so the various Parent-Teacher
organizations came to the rescue
with funds scraped together from
their own treasures. Most of the
governmental money was used on
labor needed for the heavy work
of plowing and digging. while the
private money went for seeds, bulbs,
plants, fertilizer and garden tools.
When a seasonal labor crisis de-
veloped in the summer, several work.
men were lent temporarily by the
District Repair Shop.
School authorities, convinced that
the gardens are valuable not only as
science and nature study aids but
as recreational and character-build-
ing enterprises, asked for an appro-
priation double that of last year,
with a view to including the complete
project in the regular school pro-
gram. The item was halved~ at the
District Building, however, to con-
form to last years inadequate sum.
The District Congress of Parents
and Teachers is pinring it's hope
on Congress. Even if the full
appropriation should be granted,
however, the money will not become
available until July l next-and no
funds or labor are available for the
spring planting Immediately in pros
pect. An effort to obtain some labor
from the Work Projects Administra-
ton has not met with success to
date, because of a ruling that W. P. A.
men may be used only on new
work." not on maintenance" It
would be unfortunate indeed if the
school gardens should wither and die
for want of the relatively small
amount of money and labor needed
to keep so worthy a project alive.

As a matter Of fact, this country has
avoided a much more drastic experiment
with nationalism than anything the New
Deal has represented only because In re-
cent years its Treasury has been willing
to accept unlimited quantities of gold In
exchange for surplus commodities moved
abroad. When the time comes for halt
to this new use of gold as substitute
for foreign loans then viii come the time
for real test of American policy.
The reason is that surplus farm prod
ucts and surplus industrial products that
now move abroad In large volume-above
s., ,O00, 900 year-then will back up
at home and will be reflected in low farm
prices and in more industrial unemploy-
ment. If, as a result of the wars effect,
the remainder Of the world embraces
nationalism on q broad scale, as seems
likely, then the United States will find
itself blocked in competitive struggle
for markets. Goods will be exchanged,
not upon the basis of price or quality, but
on the basis Of government-controlled
exchange.
When that time comes this country will
be forced to planning on grand scale
and win remember the New Deal as a
mild experiment in half-hearted ap-
proach to controlled economic system
Such. at least. are the alternatives that
impress themselves upon the hest-in-;
formed ofnciais Of this Government

boys and girls. In its latest book it makes
no comment regarding the liberal arts
education ideas so dear to the hearts of
Dr.. Robert M Hutchins of the University
of Chicago and his co-worker, String
fellow Barr, who heads the classical four
year st. Johns College at Annapolis, Md.
1t has often indicated, however, that 1t
would like to see as many persons as
possible familiar with the best literature
and thought OF the ages. But in this
newest report it is primarily concerned
with education which will enable q man
to earn his bread and butter.
The commission is realistic regarding
the social, economic and business set-ups
of today. In every publication from its
hands it emphasizes the preservation and
improvement of our democracy. Ors
suspects it would like to see more persons
satisfied with jobs done with the hanc,
always assuming that the garsgeman,
the mechanic, the plumber, or the factory
worker has good general education.
Obviously it feels that jobs done In blue
denims are just as desirable and honor
able as white-collar occupations.
Members of the commission do make
the point that the man who works with
his hands should be highly skilled and
able to command good wages. They
want him to be alert, reader Of good
books, cultivated gentleman beneath
his overalls.
However the public may react to the
recommendations of the Educational Pol
icies Commission, this newest book win
cause comment and discussion. II will
certainly jar us out of our complacent
belief that we are providing sufficient free
education throughout this country today.
The commission says We are not doing
that.
