The advocates Of the method

that this exhibition will accomplish
the purposes for which 1t was organ
lied; that visitors, in studying it, will
not lose sight Of this objective; that
they will consider, insofar as is pos
sible, the viewpoints of the artists
who created these paintings, and
that the public and the world of
art will derive from them, thus
viewed, understanding, enjoyment
and inspiration"
1t is not argued by Mr.. Minnigerode
nor by any spokesman for the
painters that the gulf between the
average lay visitor to the gallery and
the artists as group has been
bridged. Some of the two hundred
and sixty four canvases shown
undoubtedly will be disliked by a
majority. 1t is impossible to please
everybody. The committee in charge
OF awarding the w. A. Clark prizes
chose four pictures which justified
special recognition for technique of
execution particularly important. A
so-called popular" prize will be
given to the painter of the picture
receiving the most visitors votes
during the week beginning April 10.
Meanwhile, two observations may
be suggested in relation to the exhi-
bition as a whole. First, it manifests
trend toward more conservative
conceptions and methods in art, and
second, it is free-distinctly free
from the blight Of propaganda.

Doctors Dilemma

Because there was no postwar
planning during the last conflict,
millions of soldiers returned home all
dressed up and no place to 60 to
work. 1t will be different now. The
surgeon general of the Navy. for in
stance. says that positive steps" are
being taken to insure each doctor in
the armed forces of a private prac-
tice when he returns to civilian life.
Not that he can take it without
first going through a period of
adjustment during which the ex-
service physician will feel frustrated
and helpless. There Is lot of differ
ence between a private practice and
practice on private soldiers. For
one thing, control of his patients will
not be the same. Paradoxically, the
military are forced to be civil-and
obedient. Sergeants are at hand to
see that they prescribe with the doc
tors prescriptions. When he leaves
the service. however. he may find
some of his civil patients quite mill
tant, objecting strenuously to going
on diets and taking other unpalatable
orders, or rather advice. Nor will it
be any small jolt. when the rent is
due, to learn that instead OF the
painless process Of calling on the
paymaster once q month, he may
have to send out two dozen bills and
wait two years.

A Call for Sumuritons

The District of Columbia emer-
gency Red Cross campaign yesterday
was reported to have reached SO per
cent of the 1855 400 goal announced
at the start OF the drive month ago,
Only $55 ,513 remains to be raised. The
stipulated goal then will have been
attained. But an even more crafty
ing achievement easily might be pos
slble were the whole community to
respond to the appeal.
Donors listed to date total 200, ,23l-
a considerable number of people, yet
merely fraction of the population
Of Metropolitan Washington. District
Government personnel, it Is under
stood, have met but 43 per cent of
their share of the campaign objec-
tive. There Is no reason why munic-
ipal employees should fall 50 far short
while their neighbors in the various
Federal departments and bureaus
contribute 1881 per cent of the quota
set for them. Lack of effective lead
ership must be the explanation of
such poor showing.
Yet no citizen, regardless OF where
he earns his bread, has any real
excuse for holding back at q time
when his help for the Red Cross Is
needed as never before. The invita-
ton to subscribe Is not addressed to
a minority group. 1t has been broad
cast to everybody, and the duty and
the privilege of responding to it
promptly and generously are charge
upon the conscience OF every indi-
vidual who regards himself as an
American.
Conservatively estimated, there
must be at least half million people
residing in or near the Nations
Capital who thus far have given
nothing to the Red Cross war chest.
In plain words this means that a
vast majority of the army Of men
and women who gain their livelihood
In the Washington area are EMU
lating those who, seeing the man
who had fallen among the thieves
and been left half dead in the road,
passed by on the other side" But
there still Is time for them to follow
the example Of the good Samaritan.

HOLC Liquidation

To describe the proposal to liqui-
date the Home Owners Loan Corpo-
ration as a raid on the Treasury in
the midst OF war" as was done by
Hole Commissioner John H. Fahey
in his statement to the Byrd COM
mlttee on non-essential expendi-
lures, will not prove very helpful in
establishing the merits or otherwise
OF this suggestion. But some OF the
facts and figures submitted by Mr..
Fancy were more to the point.
According to his estimate, the car
rying out OF the forced liquidation
Of the corporation within one year,
as proposed in an amendment to the
pending Independent Offices supply
bill, would cost the Government at
least $44O, 900 ,00O-about $373, ,O00, 900
more than the corporations present
net deficit.
AS Mr.. Fahey pointed out, Congress
in 1899 authorized the Hole to ex-
tend its loans from a fifteen-year
amortization period up to twenty
five years to help borrowers who
were in trouble. AS q result over
250,OOO accounts were heightened
and the monthly payments reduced
some 40 per cent. This avoided
many thousands" Of foreclosures,
but 1t also retarded the rate Of liqui-
dation, with the result that the
corporation now has many SLOW"
loans that would have to be disposed
of at sacrifice prices II the pending
legislative proposal were to become
law.
Furthermore, considering the bet
ter-than-average record of the
Hole, it would seem that the COM
mittee ought to give weight to Mr..
Fahey's contention that a liquidation
over a period Of years could be
effected with only a slight loss, or no
loss, to the taxpayers. Perhaps there
is more to this matter than meets
the eye. but II so, 1t has not been
developed at the hearings. Unless

marched all the way to the top of
the pay-as-you-go hill yesterday,
only to turn around and march right
down again. When the days work
was over the Carlson version OF the
Rurnl plan had been beaten by a
margin Of II votes, with Alb men,
bers balloting, and the administra-
tion-sponsored countermeasure had
been recommitted to the Ways and
Means Committee. Thus, after two
months Of effort, the House had &C
complished nothing toward putting
the taxpayers on a current basis,
although all parties to the dispute
Republicans, Democrats and the
Tfeasufy-had professed to be In
sympathy with this objective.
With the voting following closely
along party lines, the House, on a
teller vote in committee OF the whole,
passed the Carlson bill, 1879 to 1873.
This was followed by the record vote
In which the Carlson bill was beaten
215 to 198 Then came the vote on
the motion to recommit the admin
istration bill, which was carried by
the decisive margin Of 248 to 1853.
Asked what the Ways and Means
Committee would do, now that its
bill had been sent back, Chairman
Doughton said: I'VE are not going to
do anything. We have plenty Of
other things 10 do"
In other words, there Is very little
chance that there viii be any kind OF
pay-as- you-go legislation in time to
benefit the taxpayers this year.
Presumably this will come as a dis
appointment to the 100000 Fed
eral income taxpayers, since some IS
per cent Of them, according to the
Gallup poll. wanted the Ruml plan
adopted. But there Is no indication
that the outcome was disappointing
TO the administration, despite the
fact that IT'S bill took sound trounc-
ing. On the contrary, the admins
tration appears 10 be rather well
sa*4sfied. At least, that Is the i'm

Certainly ingenuity, instead of Ire. is
the solution OF most civilized problems.
If man cannot solve his problems
without war, 1t shows that he cannot
yet lay claim to being civilized
But, at the same time that wars go
on, many persons are living civilized
lives, thanks to the brave men at the
fighting fronts.
Something seems wrong with the
minds Of men, that, in world OF mani
fold wonders, they cannot remain civil
lied all the time.
When we try to find the reason for
all this, we are driven back to contem-
plating governments, and how it seems
that somehow the mind of man, in gov
erning, is different from the mind of
man by itself. From simple, it becomes
complex, etc.
In other words, there is a sharp
division, clear around the world, be-
tween the governed and those who
govern. 1t seems that when man, a
good man even, gets into telling others
what to do, he is tempted to be differ
ent than he was before.
This is the supreme problem of man
and his world. 1t has been discussed
since Plato, but seemingly with little
results, II we may Judge from the looks
OF the world, civilized and uncivilized, at
the present time.
All We can hold to Is that ingenuity
instead of ire is the real solution of the
problem, in the final analysis.
If we can still say. GLORY to God" In
these troubled days. we have done much,
and have shown ourselves as wise, for
the moment, as the birds and beasts.

Corcoron Bienniul

The Eighteenth Biennial Exhibi-
tion OF Contemporary American OIL
Paintings at the Corcoran Gallery Of
Art brings together a relatively
smaller number OF pictures than
other shows OF the same variety IN
years gone by. Because of wartime
restrictions OF transportation, there
was some doubt as to whether or not
any display on national scale could
be arranged. The trustees solved
that problem by providing that most
OF the canvases invited should come
10 Washington by motor van or
passenger automobile and not by
freight or railway express. Other
difficulties were negotiated by similar
expedients, with the result that the
exhibit opened as scheduled, and
now is attracting crowds of visitors,
including many servicemen, daily.
It is, as usual In the past, an
artists enterprise. According to the
fofeword prepared for the catalogue
by c. Powell Minnigerode, director of
the gallery since 1915, "it is the aim
of this institution to present to the
public. with the close cooperation of
its invited committee, an exhibition
Of oil paintings by living American
artists which accurately reflects the
trend OF contemporary painting in
this country; which illustrates as
completely as possible what American
painters today are doing; which is
broad and truly representative in its
scope and character, and which in
cludes the best available works ex-
employing the different schools and
phases of painting as they now
exist"
Such an ideal, of course, is far from
easy of fulfillment. Mr.. Minnigerode
explains: amy exhibition of con-
temporary art which failed to cover
al phases thereof would be biased;
would illustrate only part of the
entire current art movement, and
would defeat the fundamental object
OF the display, which is to show con-
temporary American painting as it
actually is, and not as any individual
or group might like it to be-" The
director comedies that within recent
decades, as in past centuries, the
work Of creative artists has under
gone change. This is true not only

practically every form Of artistic ex-
preston. It Is hoped and expected

Some offices on the first floor are re-

casions with no outside light, bad venti-
lation and about 70 square feet allotted
per person. Directly above on the second
floor with outside light, not less than
200 square feet is allotted per person.
