Discusses Philosophy of Freedom
For Science and Progress.

To the Editor of The Star:
Human progress arises in science; and
science is naturalistic, not historical. No
effective guide to freedom-not political
freedom, merely, but economic freedom
has been given other than truth, i.e.,
eternal verities under Hewlett's defini-
ton: "A natural fact Is permanent and
elemental, historical event is transient
and superficial"
The doctrine that social values" are
not of scientific origin-that they are
spiritually moral" rather than guam
titatively scientific-is tragically in error
Justice, indeed, has been wisely figured
not welding sword against Gordian
knots In human affairs, but blindfolded,
seeking truth mechanically with scales
that eliminate emotional judgments.
Scientific precision, incorporated in laws
thatAobviate discretionary expediency in
government, Is the cure for democracy
through more democracy-through less,
not more, government Intervention.

Further Expressions Of Approval
For Plan to Move Monuments.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Recently The Star published letter
by Col. Francis Scott Key Smith which
pointed out the incongruity of the statue
of Andrew jackson occupying the center
of Lafayette Park-a park otherwise de-
voted to the memory of famous generals
of the American Revolution.
Obviously there is no reason, historical
or otherwise, why such an inharmonious
arrangement should be permitted to con-
tinue. Lafayette Park is the most con-
spicuous park in the city. Place in its
center the statue of George Washington,
the leader of the Revolution, to whom
the city owes its name and the Nation
its existence, rename Sixteenth street
Washington avenue or Washington
boulevard, and the memorial will be
complete.
The jackson monument could then be
placed in Washington Circle, which
thereafter would be known as Jackson
Circle, thereby doing full honor to the
name of Andrew jackson.
r. SIDNEY JOHNSON.
To the Editor Of The Star:
Col Francis Scott Key-Smith's sug-
gestion with respect to the removal of
George Washingtons statue from Wash
ington Circle to Lafayette Park has
been brought to my attention. No argu-
ment is necessary to demonstrate its
wisdom. The mere statement of the
suggestion Is all-persuasive
I do hope that you will lend your
power to the movement to bring about
the consummation of the suggestion
which certainly will result in making
Lafayette Park harmonious and truly
interesting from the standpoint of Revo-
lutionary history.
FRANCIS w. HILL, Jr.
To the Editor Of The Star:
It has been called to my attention that
consideration is being given to the ad-
visibility of placing the statue of George
Washington, now located in the center
of Washington Circle, in the center posi-
ton in Lafayette Square, where it would
occupy a position of prominence in the
center of his four generals. Such plan,
it is my understanding, would contem-
plate the removal of the statue of Gen.
jackson, now in Lafayette Square, to the
present Washington Circle, which would
be renamed jackson Circle.
It seems to me that this suggestion is
one which should be given very serious
consideration. There are ample reasons
which would seem to justify the granting
of such proposal. I hope that the
change may be effected.
PAUL B. CROMELIN.
To the Editor Of The Star:
I am very much interested IN the
proposal of Col. r. S. Key-Smith to have
Gen. George Washington's statue moved
to Lafayette Park and that of Andrew
jackson moved to the circle at Twenty
third street and Pennsylvania avenue
NV. Also, to have Sixteenth street
changed to Washington boulevard.
I think it is a wonderful idea and
this change should be made.

ton to our national problems today and
in the future: I'VE must adopt pro-
gram aimed at restricting savings, espe-
cially the saving of large amounts of
money and do things to encourage those
making such savings to spend the money
instead" In other words, it appears
that we are to spend our way out of this
depression. think that scheme was in
fashion just before this second World
War. Today we are told that we should
contribute our old aluminium to the
national cause, cut down on our gaso-
line consumption and can more vege-
tables and fruit.
There may be some value in stimulat-
ing logical expenditures of savings, and
the present-day restriction on consump-
tion may be largely for psychological
reasons, but regardless of these matters
no juggling of economic schemes can
create more even distribution of pur-
chasing power in this country as long as
the so-called have nots" have twice as
large families as the so-called 'haves."
This is problem of population growth
